I've noticed a lot of "Astartes" influence in cinematic trailers for games lately, especially MENACE's cinematic trailer.
This isn't a criticism at all, I like seeing passion projects like Astartes having wider influence like this.
Update: I have ADHD and the meds have worked WONDERS
when A Mechanic is happening and there's that one melee uptime hole
There are plenty of free resources to learn but when you use ai you choose to not grow. You choose laziness. At least be honest with yourself on that.
In a few weeks I’ll find out if I have ADHD or not.
Honestly terrifying.
Next Savage Tier comes out next week, and somehow I’ve gone from playing Melee DPS to being Main Tank
Shouting out Libre in Sligo, my favourite book store out West
Really interesting article, this part stuck out particularly well to me:
I know I’m still working on edits but man I also want to do more shoots like now
I need to get FFXIV running on my SteamDeck
I also need to clear all my photo editing backlog before the new Raid drops
Fiancé: “what if I get the ugly Labubu?”
Me: “Don’t worry, dear. They’re all ugly.”

This might seem insane and is incredibly minor, but when you’re trying to quickly sort you inventory it’s really “ugh”
New Monster Hunter good, very good
Except the Inventory UI, which is now a row that comes across the entire screen instead of the 3xWhatever grid in World
I could tell exactly what I had at a glance at one part of the screen without looking all across the scene
Have to make a very difficult decision today.
Which of my cats am I making in Monster Hunter Wilds to be the Palico.
It’s either Link or Purrah
I have 10 Intercessors and 10 Infiltrators in the painting process. Next will be my 5 Hellblasters > Eliminators > Heroes > Titus
I think I need a Mechanicus Standard Grey for any future priming. Grey Primed minis only needed two coats, whereas the much lighter, near-white Grey Seer needed three. Better blue paint would’ve helped too though.
Once the wash dries, I’ve done a dry brush of Kraken Blue to try bring some colour back in. Left is Washed, right is after Dry brushing. It definitely looks a *little* brighter/vibrant. This will be followed up with a brighter blue dry brush with a more delicate application.
So base coating is taking WAY longer and more paint, so I’ll prob go Citadel or Two Thin Coats to replace this AP paint when it runs out.
After three coats, I give them a wash of Nuln Oil for shading:
Three coats on the left, and a washed marine on the right.
I’m using Army Painter paints, because I bought A LOT during lockdown for painting my absurd number of D&D minis.
I was warned recently the older AP paints have coverage issues though, and yeah, they do. One coat on the left, three coats on the right:
Okay, painting update thread as I get increasingly into 40K minis.
I settled on being vanilla as hell. We’re painting up as Ultramarines because eventually I want to get Guilliman and Ventris. I already have the Titus mini.
I had to prime in Grey Seer, though I would’ve preferred a darker grey
Got myself a little early birthday present.
This rounds out my force to just shy of a thousand points.
Will share painting updates later. I’ve started with the larger squads to practice and experiment, before I get to specialised squads and heroes. Definitely painting Titus last.
I tell my cat “I know” when she meows at me but if I’m being honest? I don’t always know
Never let them tell you that Irishness is some set, immutable fact of the blood
This is what I mean when I say to just make that thing you want to make, even if it’s garbage, especially today in the world of AI-generated dreck. One person’s absolute dogshit passion project will be 1000000% more powerful than a million auto-generated books thrown onto Amazon.
Oh! Well. That's disheartening. Someone is pirating all of my paid Patreon posts.
I'm just trying to pay rent and keep my cats alive, man. I depend on my Patreon income for that. If you're gonna steal, can you steal from, I dunno, The Mouse or something? Do you gotta steal from me?
I am still learning to process compliments about my work.
They are difficult to accept, but ive started researching ways to overcome the internal disbelief I feel when people say “photo good”
I recently learned that due to a translation error in a few lines of dialogue in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the nature of the true ending is lost.
And that’s such a shame, because it all hits much much harder than the mistranslation does.
I get DD isn’t for everyone, but I love it
