futurism.com/artificial-i... surely a sign of great things to come

A bunch of Tone Pro is coming today and I'm very nervous about the non-zero chance there are just exploded pots of paint everywhere.

Did a test of Fists of Sigmarite using a different approach by base coating with an ochre and using a lighter layer of metal; I really like the result and will probably do something like this for my main army. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #minipainting

Tried another Stormhost, this time Sons of Mallus. I missed some cleanup and my armor highlighting comes through as much as I'd like, but practice is practice and I dig this color scheme. Anvils Of The Heldenhammer look cool, too. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #minipainting

This time I tried out a Lions of Sigmar scheme. I put some gold contrast paint over a silver base to see how it looked. I think it looks better in person under normal lighting, but I need a better setup to take pictures of my minis. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #minipainting

Grabbed another old Stormcast to practice on. This time I tried to do more of a Hallowed Knights color scheme. I'm hoping to work my way through all of the Stormhosts and finally decide on one for my newer SCE models. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #minipainting

Mini painters: what lights are you using? I’ve tried a random assortment of lights, including LED lamps, traditional swivel lamps with LED bulbs, and half moon lights, but I feel like it’s still hard to get good coverage. #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #minipainting #aos

It's been nice taking a break from recreational programming. My job (and many others') has signifcantly in the last 2 years and I have less energy or drive to do it lately. Going forward my projects will probably just be working on some #gamedev stuff in Godot and learning to program my Apple IIGS.

If you see this, post something blue. #warhammer #wh40k #minis #minipainting #crimsonfists

I haven't painted in a while and used this old Stormcast to test out a new color scheme (Celestial Knights). Hoping to get back into the habit at least once a day to keep improving! #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #minipainting

Surprise!​ #OpenBSD 8.0 is released! Happy release day! 🐡​ www.openbsd.org/80.html This is the 61st release of OpenBSD. Now get to upgrading/installing on all your machines. 👍

#Godot 4.8's changelogs have been pretty awesome, especially the QOL editor updates.

Local political ad in a state and city with the incumbent majority: "We're gonna clean up the budget, lower your taxes, and make everything safe again!"

The new Apple TV 4K has to be one of the worst revisions I've ever seen them put out. Same dumb remote (at least it has a speaker I guess?), useless AI features, huge price jump, and it can't even do 4k@120hz. If anything, I'd rather have cheaper mini versions for my older non-OLED TVs...

It feels like this has been happening a lot lately. Wasn't really a heavy user of Deno but thought it had some cool ideas years ago.

Monster cereals are trash but I almost always still buy them and eat them every Halloween.

Watching Scooby Doo in another language is funny because why did they bother dubbing the monster sounds?

youtu.be/Kcp1VBaCvEY the future is looking pretty dire

Reposting my #9games since it's going around again. I could make dozens of lists but that was what I was feeling at the time. Some of my favorite games/series aren't even represented on here, but I also feel like all of the ones here had a large impact on me. Might be fun to do some by platform.

#picotron port of #doom under way major roadblock lifted today: sprite masking against geometry 😰 a *lot* remains to be done - stay tuned!!

I don’t understand the argument for cost-savings with AI-gen menus. Food is literally something you can photograph, it costs you nothing to do, and presumably you are making the food anyways because you sell it?

Was finally cool enough to wear the new NIN x Quake hoodie. Super comfy!

Je viens de commencer à étudier le français. I already hate using the keyboard layout on a US keyboard.

TIL cooldowns.dev

We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Kicking the tires of BitWarden and I think it's pretty solid but has a few quirks. I still appreciate that you can just swap servers and self-host if you want to without too much effort.

Looking for a new 1Password alternative, assuming most folks are using BitWarden?

I recently cleaned up a bunch of old repos and it felt good. Made me realize I want to do even more, so I made a list. If you want one, it's yours.

Another day, another GitHub outage.

alright guys settle down

One feature I wish all languages I worked in had were doctests, I'm surprised they never caught on more.
