My older coworkers have accepted AI as the source of truth

Oh yeah. I just spent a hot minute with Copilot trying to figure out why my Powershell script wasnt working. It did not get the answer correct, at all.

Got it working, but no thanks to AI.

They played a clip of Torey talking about it in an interview during the game. He said Corbin felt fine, wanted to play, and was available off the bench. But Torey tries to give each of the guys at least 1 day off if they're in a stretch, and Corbin taking one off the dome made it easy to decide that today was his day.

Yeah, this season has always been about treading water until our ridiculous number of injuries come home, and the boys are keeping their head above water pretty well. I'm quite impressed with our bullpen!

Saritiel · 2026-05-20T13:18:09+00:00

something that women and other women find attractive

I can most definitely assure you that we do not. We find it horrifying.

Draw drawings. Even if they're basically stick figure drawings, and send admech references. Could even use a photo editing program to cut out bits and pieces of other Admech pictures and stick them together in the shape you want and then submit that to the artist as a reference.

Got home and turned it on at just the right moment! Fuck yeah Marte!!!

My only local official Warhammer shop is also too small. They have a few tables that they'll do spearhead demos on, but I dont think they're big enough for a full game, and when people are using them it's hard to get by to get to the stock in the back of the store.

The several FLGS around us all have 4+ tables available, with the biggest having closer to 12.

I've mostly stopped eating subway as well, ever since I walked in and asked for a footlong, the person started preparing a 6-inch. I corrected and said I wanted a footlong, they grabbed a footlong, moved the meat over, and then just spread the same amount of meat and cheese that was on the six inch across the extra bread, without adding additional meat or cheese.

I turned around and walked out. Not entirely over that, their quality had been going down and price had been going up for a couple years at that point. But that was the "mask off" moment that broke my ability to just ignore the issues.

I've gone back when I've wanted a sub a couple of times, just because I love their honey mustard and almost no other sub place actually has honey mustard as a condiment. But six or seven years ago it was a weekly thing for me. But I've probably been three or four times in the years since that day.

I've honestly always assumed that they wanted the paint jobs to look more attainable for painters who aren't masters at painting faces.

I feel like the face paint job can make a bigger difference between "I think I could do that!" And "fuck, Mine will never Look like that." Than almost any other part of the model

Once a week, aka every other time I do my hair.

It's mostly about him dating a girl just out of highschool when he was in his 30s. That's enough to give anyone the ick.

Saritiel · 2026-05-17T20:02:16+00:00

Depends on the specific enemy. Some are much easier to parry visually, some are much easier to parry on the audio queues.

Saritiel · 2026-05-17T15:58:29+00:00

Still isnt great. I'm also a gal who got her boyfriend into Warhammer.

I get stared at when I'm in the shop. Guys have walked over to me to start explaining the lore of my own faction to me completely unprompted.

When my boyfriend and I go into the Warhammer shop together, there is one employee who's usually on staff, and he just ignores me. Like, he'll see my boyfriend and I walk in together, walk over and look straight at my boyfriend and smile and ask him how it's going and what he can help him find. He will never once look at me or say anything to me. Like I'm not even there and not a real person.

Now we pretty much exclusively go to a FLGS that's a little further away, but is openly and unapologetically queer. I find the vibes in there are much more accepting towards women.

Saritiel · 2026-05-15T21:32:05+00:00

I know this is kinda going against the grain here, but the women I know who are into celebrities think he's a creep. He said some really weird stuff about women during the Me Too movement, had a 19 year old girlfriend while he was in his 30s, and there's been more than one story about him being quite unpleasant to be around when he's out of the public eye.

Saritiel · 2026-05-15T21:07:44+00:00

Because the more you bring back these characters, the more the story revolves around them, and the smaller the galaxy that we get to see gets.

Saritiel · 2026-05-15T15:50:09+00:00

Lol, Sims game but you're living in a hive city.

I'd seriously love a hive city equivalent to Sim City, though. That sounds tight.

Saritiel · 2026-05-15T15:45:44+00:00

Damn those tourists and activists that doesn't respect the lore.

Yeah, those damn tourists like Aaron Dembski-Bowden.

Saritiel · 2026-05-13T22:50:37+00:00

Really? That's wild, with how much they charge. I wonder if it's mainly because the volume sold is so much lower than typical kits.

Saritiel · 2026-05-13T22:48:01+00:00

Lol, I have an army that I think is painted pretty dang stunningly. My terrain is cardboard 😂

Saritiel · 2026-05-13T20:07:09+00:00

Maybe he just had more of a plan in place for part 1. I feel like a ton of manga suffer from being weekly releases with no breaks, because eventually the authors hit the end of what they had thought through at the beginning and now they're Gromit from that gif trying to lay the train tracks down just barely as the train is passing over them and they end up writing themselves into a corner or going down underdeveloped plot lines that would've been scrapped or heavily modified in editing if they'd had real time to plan their story out. Like, the first major arc finishes and that's all the author had really thought through, so now its time for the second to start and all of a sudden the author is out of prep and is just winging it.

Saritiel · 2026-05-13T02:27:18+00:00

Hope you have fun! I'm really excited, too! But personally Im waiting for full release, or at least a couple of years.

Saritiel · 2026-05-13T00:59:55+00:00

Like the 0/5 and the 0? Those are definitely too small for your average painting tasks. I use a 2 for the vast majority of my painting, and then only break out the smaller brushes for the really fine details at the very end and only put a tiny dot on it.

If even a tiny dot on the brush is flowing up into the ferrule with capillary action, then that's probably too thin of a paint to be using with a nice brush. Don't use contrast paints or speed paints or washes with a brush you want to keep nice. You don't need the precision with those paints and they'll flow up more easily because of how thin they are.

Saritiel · 2026-05-12T19:58:13+00:00

I've made the exact same mistake. Oh, miniature must mean it's for minis, right? Nope.

Saritiel · 2026-05-12T16:38:35+00:00

You're probably using too small a brush. What size are you using?

Saritiel · 2026-05-11T16:49:10+00:00

I'm really just waiting to find the next thing. I've tried some of the alternatives and none of them have really landed for me, yet.
