Meanwhile I’m about to have a heart attack.

I just don’t think that’s acknowledged enough.

Personally, I think it’s his best film.

Not, like, politics or racism or anything like that, but everyone should have some weird or obscure thing they like that is definitely not something everyone likes. There is some kind of weird, obscure, maybe hard to find thing that speaks to you on a specific level that only a certain amount of people also like. I think it’s an important part of finding yourself.

For instance, my favorite book series is John Dies At The End, not just because it’s the most fun you can have reading a book, but because it introduced me to gonzo lovecraftian as a genre. I try to get everyone I know to read those books. A lot of people just don’t get it. Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place might have been the most formative experience in my life. A lot of people just don’t get it. (I’m from the states, I understand a lot of folks from the UK understand how great it is. Even better than quantum leap.) Tetsuo: The Iron Man is probably my favorite movie of all time. My brother loved it, it has made some people stop talking with me. I like weird shit, I could go on. I raced home from school to watch Beetleborgs.

What weird, obscure, specific thing have you fallen in love with that it seems like nobody else is aware of?

Also, Phantom Crash is the best game there ever was. I will fight you.

(This was an actual thought I had in the shower. I take long showers.)

Yes, it’s a mess, just landed, this is the second day. Yes, those are race car bed sheets. Yes, I’m 37. I apologize for nothing.

Edit: That is Leonard’s floor pillow, I do not sleep on that filthy pillow. Mine have race cars on them and are clean.

I’m not new to drawing and art, but I have been out of practice for many years, and I have never in my life used a digital art tablet. I feel like I’m starting from square one, because I am. I’ve had it for a few days now, and I’m dedicated to doing at least 6 minutes a day for a hundred (or more, I’m old, and thus a slow learner.) days, and I know for the first excruciatingly long while I will be strictly producing absolute trash and am not afraid of that. I’ve played guitar consistently since I was 14, so I’m very familiar with the seemingly stagnant pace that is required for learning and progress, but I really want to learn and progress. That’s the whole reason I got the tablet. I’ve got an itch.

So, I’m interacting with the second circle of learning and reaching out to those who know what I do not, which is everything from anyone who is familiar with using a screen and pen tablet.

What advice would you offer to someone just starting out?

Also, does anyone use a Kamvas 13 gen 3 with CachyOS? I can’t find any AUR drivers that work right. The default OS drawing tablet settings work for the most part, but I can’t use the wheely bits for anything. Every Huion AUR driver fucks up the tablet area and I can’t use the workspace calibration.

Completely forgot I had this! I can’t believe this is a real thing.

It has the panel where Spider-Man gets fisted!

This is where you really see the hard work and effort showing through, all the details and gradients start to pop and you finally feel like you’re doing things right.

It’s 3 A.M. and I’m on the edge of throwing my pat off the catio.

I hear a lot about post-poop zoomies, and it made me kind of curious, as I desire to choke this small mammal, I wonder does anyone else’s cat get zoomies before they poop?

I’m pretty sure he has ADHD and oppositional defiance (always heard “I hope you have a kid one day that’s just like you!” growing up, so I guess I got what’s coming.), and I’ve accepted him for who he is and I’ve begrudgingly grown to love the little bastard, a lot, regardless of my complaints. My nephew dropped him at my door and I didn’t have the heart to not take him in.

I. Did. Not. Want. A. Cat. What happened to my life? Why do I put up with this groblin?

Edit: FML, can’t change title, not Dark Angels, he’s a Blood Raven.

Took a lot of thin layers, but it’s a pretty promising test. Used an Oyumaru mold and did thin layers of pretty loose sprue goo and once I had a solid layer added it more liberally. Wish I still had a usable old sanguinary guard power fist to try it out with.

If you’re curious to try, be VERY patient with it, let every layer dry fully before applying the next one, or it will be riddled with bubbles.

Nazi Punks Fuck Off

I’m mostly into it for the hobby side of things, so it’s a good excuse to kitbash some over the top stuff that has actual rules I can use them with on the table.

I’m trying to resist the urge to make three jump pack Sanguinary Priests with two power fists each. And some jump captains double fisting power. And anything else I can strap a jump pack and two power fists onto.

As if it were trash! Possibly the best thing I’ve ever come across in my entire life.

I think I pulled off a pretty decent job. Getting back into the hobby after a hot minute with these dudes. I really like these goofy little MKVI beaky bastards. Going to run them as van vets, but I might build a small Horus Heresy army just because I like these sculpts so damned much. Really fun models to paint.

Seriously, this dude is on another level, all of his stuff is just fucking amazing.
