Apostate Makes

As a fellow DEX dump statter, have you tried jigs? Having a chunk of cardboard you can use to cut shapes out around saves me considerable sweat. My stuff still looks shite ofc, but noticeably less shite!

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

Experimented with undercoat colours today. Tried that blue high contrast again.

Really important to remember that making bad art is important and also that it's infinitely better than slop. I feel I improved. This, too, is kung fu.

Welp, I know that feel.

I've always felt WYSIWYG is an admirable goal but shouldn't get in the way of painting the number of models you prefer, high or low. I've got some goblin mechs I bought with similar problems tbh, and a later Tau proxy print after I got magnets...

Er ATK. America's Test Kitchen. Not sure how I screwed that one up.

Fukye, big stompy robots ♥️

ATC cookbook has a fantastic recipe (though I recommend deep dish crusts, v juicy). Granny smith, lemon, and I like to add a splash of Disaronno for an almond accent.

A blueberry pie

A Saskatoon berry pie.

Finally finished my #baking, in between Mabon and Samhain instead of for the holidays like I usually do, because of vacations and such. Saskatoon berry and blueberry pies. P:'

Plus Saudi Arabia/Iran, Japan, and India, if you want to be pedantic about it. Though I guess the Japanese don't give a shit, and India and Saudi Arabia aren't running enough of the religion to paint with a wide brush.

It's incorrect but my memory of the commercial now plays with the David S Pumpkins skeleton b boy dance music.

the computer is not alive and you need to get into actual religion or something if you think it is because silicon valley is a terrible place of worship

XD

An apple pie

Two sweet pumpkin loaves.

#baking for the spooky season. Apple pie and pumpkin-cheesecake loaf. ♥️

#miniaturepainting more @jluna3d.bsky.social stuff. I had SO much fun weathering this IPS-N Satyr Mech you can hardly tell I left a bit off. My BT friends only want shiny new paint jobs so I might have gone a little hard to make up for it here.

Also, factually wrong; bullying corporations works great.

Jesus, less than a quarter mil? That's "cost of doing business" expenses.

A pair of pumpkin pies

A #baking success, these are the best looking #pumpkin #pie I have ever made!

A shot of the top of the diorama; concrete ledge, electrical conduits, a large collection of industrial cable runs, a utility column, ducting and a fan. Linna is leaping off the top and Sylia is spinning midair. Photo by Josh from GooseMinis.

Josh from @gooseminis.bsky.social took some gorgeous glamour shots of my BubbleGum Crisis diorama at Dungeon Fest a couple weekends ago. Last post of this, I promise. #miniaturepainting #diorama #anime #cyberpunk

Tech nerd here. Most ticketing systems let you build a to do list for yourself of varying levels of complexity for priority and obligations. I've heard good things about osticket, zammad, and request tracker for self-hosted.

See also "wah no political violence!" [carceral state] [unremitting police violence] [legal protection of property combined with widespread homelessness]

It all TLDRs down to "we're allowed infinite violence, you're not allowed any because [ants meme about grain]"

I mean, the war crimes were "impressive" if you narrow the definition far enough.

Jalapenos for fire to balance it out, surely!

Yeah, I don't think I've used >0.3 since I started doing my own. But, we're not first-timers trying to grunt a print out of an unoptimized bed with loose FEP and vastly overexposed resin or something. Maybe supports could come with "newbie" and "tuned" versions...

I do like their sculpts and their later supports have felt real good, but goddamn if I'm not tempted to run the teensiest contact points I can to ride that print failure/easy release knife edge some times.

Do they not include unsupported models? It's been a hot minute since I printed OPR. I never WANTED to learn supports but I've had enough "fuck you get an angle grinder" presupported that I've had to adapt. :T

250ml glass jars full of semitranslucent red gooseberry jelly.

250ml glass jars full of opaque dark purple saskatoon berry jam.

Took a sick day, woke up at noon, spent several hours celebrating the first day of Autumn by making #gooseberry #jelly and #saskatoonberry #jam.

#miniaturepainting another @jluna3d.bsky.social sculpt , their Sol Ursus Zealot. As usual a fun paint. I think I got the Spirit Bear fur about right, and the first NMM copper I didn't hate, but the palette I tried was meh. Aimed for a "faded/dusty" version of the priestess robes.
