In case you were unaware, there's a recall notice on Colour Forge basing sand in these colours for possible trace contamination with asbestos from the manufacturer
On the plus side, your bases won't catch fire

I've had similar frustrations, weirdly though I've found that throws and grapples are still very effective in my dreams. Provided I can recognise I'm dreaming, learning there was at least a way to fight back was actually very satisfying. I hope you get to experience that at some point.
We're excited to reveal that Sword of the Sea will officially launch on August 19th this year!
Get ready to ride the waves on PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Gonna burn some bridges and talk about Unbound, since it's unlikely that they'll sue me at this point. They seem to have spent money that was supposed to go towards royalty payments, expecting money to come in, which then didn't bsky.app/profile/laur...

Didn't UKGE end 2 days ago?
That may be, but you won't have to face it alone. You are loved Busc, more than you know.
It'll be okay, I promise.
I know, that no matter what I tell you it'll be hard to believe.
But, I need to you to know that is not (nor has it ever been) true.
If you were looking for a good cause to give to...
This is a pretty cool charity raffle, with legionaries painted by some pretty cool painters (and Neil Hollis)

Obviously you'd get better results using one of those cyclorama style backdrops you can buy. But it's pretty impressive what you can do with a random bit of scrap.
A while back a friend of mine recommended using a reflective black background for photographing minis.
Broke a picture frame this week and decided to give it a go, priming the back of the glass black.
Okay, yeah that works pretty well.
Yeah professional code monkey here too, most of the people in my immediate circle aren't just against AI. They're outright terrified.
I was genuinely pretty pleased with the eyes on Lune until she broke free of her mountings and smashed on the floor... oh well
So what we get is a model that takes TV static and adjusts it to make the patterns that happen to be there more like an "#aesthetic" training images and more like the text prompt. The composition ends up looking random and illogical, and the textures, colors and shapes are noise-free.
Oh this is related to my research. Generative models like this learn to take a random noise image (like tv static) and repeatedly reduce the noise, iteratively making the details more like a training image and more like the associated text prompt. A middle stage might look like these
Gaussian noise (TV static) is also commonly used, actually it's probably more popular now. I'm quite a few years out of the loop at this point. But none the less it will retain that same black and white issue.
Most gen ai models use a voronoi noise pattern as a base layer for which to generate an image onto.
The extremes between the darkest and brightest light values are somewhat preserved.
It results in that weird high contrast smoothness that's always a dead giveaway of ai art.
I hope you used protection
My lovely new icon by @xylavie.bsky.social !
If you want to commission someone for character art, I strongly recommend her!
progress! but still very much a WIP! she has two eyes now ☺️

UNEXPECTED SPONGBRO UPDATE (yes it's apparently not over):
He's now trying to peddle it in his Adepticon classes...
LMAO
Yup, blocked me as well...
It's such a case of crocodile tears.
Cancelled now!
Many people and honestly I cannot be bothered to digging at this moment, this summary from the dailybolter shows it pretty well... www.instagram.com/p/CwS47jWt7n...
yeah its wild.... he was so rushed to delete stuff he accidentally deleted a single letter and is now as a consequence maybe offering hats?? :3
HAHAHAHAHAHA HE DELETED HIS PROFILE PICTURE OFF KS HAHAHAHA WE KNOW YOU DID IT YOU MORON
SPONGBRO UPDATE: Mamikon is now panicking big time, he's deleted all the images of it from his Kickstarter campaign and removed all his ads on socials.
Keep up the good work folks.
WTF?
Substitute for a airbrush... 🙄
So for the lols I just recreated this by shoving some sponge into the claw grip of a clutch pencil. Sure it doesn't have the 'ergonomic' plush grip...
