It's so cool that cities are like "oweeease only turn your AC on if you're actively dying and don't go below 79
"

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember:

• do not announce you're attending online
• do not sign any online RSVP
• wear a mask
• wear clothes that don't draw attention
• leave your phone at home
• bring bottled water
• do not speak to cops
• do not post photos after

Hey thanks! Really hard to not compare my 10th mini painted to stuff on social media from folks who have painted hundreds, but I think they're pretty decent for where I'm at.

Enjoy Clair Obscur. I'm into Act 2 and have absolutely adored the game.

I have no idea what to post here so have a couple of warhammers I've worked on to try to get better at painting.

Maybe they're okay maybe they aren't, I dunno. But I made em so that's cool.

Had the exact same reaction when I read the press release after watching the trailer

Trying out a monochromatic paint job with an offset lighting source. I think it turned out pretty okay.

When you have a day off and a bunch of new paints to test, you make a Skittle Marine yeah?

I dont know really what to post on this site but the book of faces reminded me of the start of my gym journey 8 years ago.

I think I've made a little bit of progress.

Thanks man! It's a lot of "okay the tutorial says to do X" and just trusting the process. The challenge of trying to make fabrics look dynamic has been a fun one to tackle.

First attempt at learning to shadow/highlight fabric didn't suck too badly

Finished my first full club HEMA longsword class outside of the beginners series. Man it felt good. Also got some rapier in, so that was a blast dusting off those old skills.

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

Three panels. Screenshots of Arrested Development of a man and a woman having a conversation.

Panel 1: "well, did it work for those people?"
Panel 2: "no, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..."
Panel 3: "but it might work for us."

I've been lazy and haven't put together my setup in our spare room. Really should do that because having a good place to do a hobby is pretty important to driving motivation to doing that hobby.

Like I just started minis painting and it's hard to not compare my second/third mini vs folks on Insta posting the most clean, gorgeous work around that is probably thier 300th mini.

But I like sitting down, painting some lil guys, relaxing to a podcast, and seeing my own work improve.

It's not too late to start something, and it's okay to be bad at it if you like doing it.

You're not going to be as good as the person who has done that thing their entire life and that's okay.

Comparison is the thief of joy so just enjoy doing things for the sake of doing it.

2025 is my himbo gym friend year. I want to be that guy who has motivation for friends wanting to make a change when times are tough. Or to yell positive things at you because you ARE doing hard work even if you convince yourself otherwise.
