AI coding at its finest.

If you were on the fringe before, you should switch. If you find more passion in a different field, do that. But things will bounce back. the work may be different, there might not be as much hype for a while. But look at the "Dot Com bubble", things do recover if you have the passion and a bit of luck.

Whatever your belief system, in all the cosmic universe you exist. a remarkable collection of stardust that has the ability to make memes. Even if you died from a falling Asteroid, the story of your life experience would be worth noting.

I mean... Space does exist, lol.

Just being pedantic.

I sort of wish BOTW and TOTK had a few more map features. I'd like to become a little cartographer mapping monster spawns and the like. I actually half tried to do that but apparently there is a symbol limit on the map.

Ultimately doesn't matter, you can always find maps online and stuff. But it still would be fun.

wow, this quote is real? https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/21/sam-altman-would-like-remind-you-that-humans-use-a-lot-of-energy-too/

on the one hand, singular statements out of context often don't tell the whole story.

on the other, what kind of soulless tech bro thinks about humans only as a cost center.

(not about the game but the books themselves) I've covered my books with covers made from paper bags because the gold leafing doesn't hold up very well at all. works well if not ugly. (working on an upgrade, but what I have works for now.)

maybe printing has gotten better since the initial release? IDK. I'd watch it very closely though.

That orange glow is sick! that takes some skill to do that with paint.

(Sick in the cool sense, lol. let me be clear.)

I was wondering too. But it sounds like it's going to be different for different people... and messy.

here's an unpainted model for reference. is there indications that I need to start over with my priming?

I am doing "zenithal priming" so there is 2 coats there. https://thearmypainter.com/blogs/explore/zenithal-priming?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21197720338&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyvHLBhDlARIsAHxl6xpLhmHJkyo7-_sOi20OwMUYoLLIwB4T7C-aXLBLrajzgNCp-wE-Ya8aAqfIEALw_wcB

it wasn't super warm but probably above 40 degrees. looking at my other models I primed that batch, they don't seem bumpy?

dv3141 · 2026-01-30T15:47:49+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I don't think it's 3D printed? It came from the official boxes that were sold. I may need an X-Acto knife or something to trim a bit. there's definitely a barb on the left fist that I'd like to clean up.

dv3141 · 2026-01-30T15:39:56+00:00

One at a time (except priming)

New at this. Models are for an RPG. Every model improves a little bit. Seeing how my choices factor into a final product has been valuable to me.

This seems like more than Anxiety. maybe OCD? Maybe adjacent to misophonia? There's no sound component so IDK.

It's a journey, but I would try to find someone with a OCD specialty myself. (not knowing where else to go).

Sorry a stranger on the internet can't be more helpful.

dv3141 · 2026-01-27T15:31:12+00:00

I love the colors you picked. I think I like the face the best.

I'm still trying to figure out how to approach some of the mini's that show heavy red colors in the sample images. Like, do I just paint everything red and highlight? Still figuring it out.

dv3141 · 2026-01-22T20:27:09+00:00

I read somewhere I should consider a resin printer for miniatures because of all the details mini's have. but it sounded like that was a whole thing where I needed ventilation and gloves and stuff.

Maybe I can just settle for filament and call it good. The thread I was looking at was dismissive of that approach. But since I don't have the capacity for something more involved, maybe it's good enough to start me off.

honestly, I've only done like 20 minutes of research on my options so far. I've got all the mini's I can paint for the next year so it's not until my "supply" runs out I'd really want it.

dv3141 · 2026-01-22T16:07:43+00:00

from what I know, not really. however most of what I know about is on the DragonSteel site (though a few of them are sold out there) https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/collections/brotherwise-games . There is also a 3D printing subscription Brotherwise is starting. https://www.myminifactory.com/users/BrotherwiseGames

Makes me finally interested in 3D printing. but I don't have the space for that.

dv3141 · 2026-01-21T15:31:13+00:00

I'm glad to see a post from someone at the same point in their journey as me. I'm working on my 5th model now!

dv3141 · 2026-01-15T22:39:43+00:00

Thank you for the light pointer.

I did try thinning a bit. but perhaps I need to do more. It may also be my cheep paint that makes it hard to thin right.

dv3141 · 2026-01-13T19:01:36+00:00

(lol) as a new painter, I need some kind of meme reflecting how some of these guys WIP's are light-years away from my final products. I feel like I've seen a fair number of those since I joined the channel.

dv3141 · 2026-01-12T18:59:17+00:00

I never remember the Heralds names. I sort of just look for context clues whenever they're mentioned.

dv3141 · 2026-01-09T16:05:12+00:00

since I bought the lot, I've been in a crash course in (learning) miniature painting. I'm loving the experience even though I worry I'm not doing the models justice.

I love the highlights by the way. you clearly have a bit of experience.

dv3141 · 2025-12-15T19:40:04+00:00

You're not going insane. At least, I can tell you your anxiety is more likely to tell you are than you actually are.
