Cursed

Had a lovely time painting up these AOS Gutter Runners.

Rittick-Snatchclaw knew the moment one of the underlings screeched that they’d come across the big-glowy-thing.

He immediately sent three of the pack off to bring dregs to move it. He also knew that screech would bring man-things before long.

The screecher wouldn’t screech-yell anymore.

Things I’m noticing:

- Spotlight / Siri is much faster at basic stuff when it’s not using Apple Intelligence.
- 60hz screen is fine actually
- this little phone gets way warmer doing basic stuff than I remember.
- it weighs nothing compared to the regular iPhone size
- I do kinda miss the better camera quality.

For the last nine or so months I’ve been running the iPhone 17 (pleb edition) after the OIS motor in my 12 mini’s camera died for the second time.

I came to a realisation the other day that the only reason I was using the 17 was because I’d spent money on it. It’s big, heavy, hard to reach its corners.

Last year I broke my pinky on my right hand, and have had minor ongoing aches from time to time… because of the 17.

Got my 12 mini repaired and man. It’s really nice to go back to.

I started off by looking into local LLM's, local agentic setups, learning (as well as I can understand) exactly how these slop-machines work, what makes them tick, why stuff like token costs are important etc.

Step number one of any battle is to know your enemy.

This won't come as news to anyone who's technical but I got an analogy. Its a (weighted) dice roll between millions of options for each word choice. Literally just weighted randomisation of language into a shape

Proper nervous talking about this as I’m well aware of the attitude here, but I’ve been toying with AI over the past two or so months.

I’ve spent most of my career working in digital agencies, building games and apps for edutainment / health stuff / govt stuff, and my colleagues who work in that space have all been pushed over to the slop-machines. Pressure from clients to do more for less is *exists* and I’m terrified of losing my income.

So I started looking into it.

Anyone else struggle when it comes to posting stuff online? I really want to post here more frequently, but I often find myself thinking half way through writing something out that it’s not worth saying? Or that it wouldn’t help anyone?

Printed and painted up some new scatter terrain. Bells and warpstone chunks.

The models are a bit eh, but nothing a good lick of paint can’t help with.

Did a commission job for 37 Beastmen Gor. One 30 minute experiment paint job on Tuesday, followed by about six hours of batch painting yesterday and today. Really happy with the quality vs speed tradeoff with these guys.

lol that gif got mega-crunched. *shrug* #iosdev #godotengine #indiedev

Bugger it! It's never too early.

The game is (tentatively) called Behemoth. It's a sort-of-spiritual-successor to my 2016 title Unstoppable.

I've been working on this for about four or so months now. Mostly just getting the core pieces together.

Another mobile title about upgradeable vehicular carnage, because for some reason I love making these.

Graphics here are 100% placeholder, mostly ripped from Unstoppable or just plain old cubes.

Ventarii 27th pike regiment.

Pretty chuffed with how these pike lads have turned out. Very tricky print on the a1 mini, there’s a couple rough spots but by and large I’m damn happy with it all.

the more we're all encouraged to optimize our time and deliver more output, the more i want to never hit a single metric again in my life.

i want to commit on a project and never launch it. i want to code slower, spend more time choosing colors, re-invent wheels that will never get used - not better, just different - taking as long as possible.

i want to spend my time imagining different ways to say a thing, just to enjoy saying it differently.

zero output, always only process forever

The moment I saw this model for a crowman in the Cathay box I knew how I was gonna paint it up.

Growing up we had a Magpie that would fly down, and walk right up to our back door. It’d do this beautiful warble and we’d feed it some sausage.

So here’s my little tribute to “Jack-o” the Magpie.

@tg I picked up Current Reader, and love what it’s all about!

I’m curious, have you considered an implemention of mark as read on scroll?

To be clear / context:

- I'm aware being a young girl / woman online has been hell since basically the start of the internet. From what I can see algorithmic feeds are just an acceleration of that.
- There's zero excuse for mens behaviour.
- Fuck the companies that decide this is how we should treat people.
- Fuck companies in general.

I suspect like many people here I jumped ship from the mainline social media companies a couple years back, partially because I could see that these algorithmic feed was serving me rubbish I didn't want to see.

I'm a dad to two girls, neither has started their time online yet and seeing this sort of crap, I honestly would rather they never did.

Is there a kid friendly mastodon server? Thats probably gonna be just "we've got tiktok at home".

man, this blows.

Painted up a regiment of clanrats. Models by Highlands Minis. Printed using my A1 mini.

The temptation to replace* all my 5th edition clanrats with these guys is reallly strong!

*add to, there’s no such thing as too many clanrats.

This is a great thread on how web browsers have diverged in their purpose over the course of Web 2.0 and onwards

Launched my 1.1 update for Exoloper today. A ton of bugfixes, new features and overall polish.

Super nervous about this launch, as it’s both an attempt at making the game more financially viable and the first patch I’ve done since my youngest was born.
