Over the past few months I’ve started having a Pattern Recognition/Cool Hunter thing happen when I feel a wave a revulsion upon seeing AI images even before I’ve consciously realized they’re AI; Some interesting comments on the OP as to why this might be happening.

This turned out so good! That color scheme is super fun. I love seeing mechs scaled up for 28mm games. (sorry for the repost, the image didn't attach 😅)

One more! These beasts are excellent wasteland companions, able to carry large loads and sniff out edible lichens growing in the harsh environment .. The 2 tones of clay are just different types of Das

I played the Traveller RPG a bit in the 80s and enjoyed the comic strip in White Dwarf (83-86). I recently found that all the episodes are online here - www.2000ad.org/markus/trave...

The fact that the Classic Traveller: Out of the Box blog series by Chris Kubasik didn't spawn a wave of content for 2d6 sci-fi to rival the B/X-based OSR means we're all fucking up. talestoastound.wordpress.com/traveller-ou...

'Incoming!' • All shot practically using real figures, lighting, miniature sets and cotton wool for snow. - I kinda make it a thing now to create a Hoth Battle photo every year, don't ask me why, maybe I just enjoy working with cotton wool and tiny ATATs. • #starwars #hoth #toyphotography #scifi

Star Trek producers and writers, we're going to need any new Trek shows to lean REALLY hard into the more hopeful aspects of Trek. Rewatching Enterprise has reminded me how much 9/11 affected the direction of that show and the lessons it COULD have taught us had they not gone full American with it.

My painting for off to a good start in 2025, as I decided to get cracking on MYTH! Got the Journeyman minis at the end of 24, so now I'm aiming to get all the Novice level minis painted.

I found these sick as hell behind the scenes photos from Robot Jox in the reference section of Wikipedia. This is how you make a movie, boy.

Don’t know if the other Gen-Xers have been following this saga to its completion but yes, brontosaurus is a dinosaur again. There was a mixup with apatosaurus and that’s why we thought no brontosaurus but turns out that yes there really were thunder lizards after all!

Part of Star Wars is that you kind of by necessity have to both fear–and hope for–a last minute push to redemption, so there's still plenty of time for Skeleton Crew to do it next week, but god if I can't help but love 'what if force user neither Jedi nor Sith but secret third thing (piece of shit)'

At long last I've recreated Scott Goffman's MW2 box-art on a physical model. Absolutely MASSIVE levels of nostalgia for me; this series got me into Battletech and ultimately mini-painting itself. #battletech #painting #retrogaming

The first painted minis of the new year is.... Grubbers and Muckers (aka orcs) from the Diablo-esque boardgame MYTH! Need to paint Orcneas, another lair and their commander, and then they'll be done. Then I'll take some proper photos. Love the simple and effective mini design of MYTH!

I took this photo of Venus above the Moon tonight, with Saturn also visible in the top left corner! I LOVE that it’s possible to see planets in the sky, and I’m always in awe of them.

During the first half of 2024 I managed a fair bit of mini painting - TAG Raid, Aristeia, some Oldhammer and board games. However things wanted in the second half which had been practically barren! This years harvest. Happy new year! #nerdlings

I keep warning you that generative "AI" is a threat to the processes of making & certifying knowledge & consensus reality, thus leading us to the verge of an epistemic & heuristic collapse of just catastrophic proportions but y'all keep slathering it on yourselves like it's butter & you're corncobs

Red Dust Rebellion by @3mbg.bsky.social is the latest volume in the COIN Series. More than that, it's a worthwhile speculative fiction tale that asks not only about revolution, but also about our current priorities. My review: spacebiff.com/2024/12/24/r...

last update before a few days break, painted more frame details with red/black wires, and a brighter silver for the inner parts of pistons, then on the armour there's now the stripes and some blue lights for optics/lights decals and shading will be up next when I get back to it
