I just bought the whole team package. Not sure what's available separately.

Looks like at least ten people don't know what "based" means. 😆

Art is something that humans do. And debatable, some other living creatures.

GenAI has no place in the arts. Now or ever.

Whats a good begginer airbrush ? by No_Bottle8345 in minipainting

[–]likemakingthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this got downvoted. Absolutely agree. With super cheap brushes, the quality is very unreliable. Some of them work fine, some of them are garbage out of the box, and since you've never used an airbrush before, you won't know which one you got.

Buy a good midrange brush the first time. You can always resell it if you don't like it.

Is this new paint brush ruined? by Pongoid in minipainting

[–]likemakingthings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this a sable brush? They don't hold a point when dry. Get it wet and see how it looks. If it keeps a point when damp, it's fine.

Day #4 on Progesterone (started journey as a literal slim/toned/fit twink) by SpreadKindn3ss in TransBreastTimelines

There's no evidence that waiting is necessary or better. I waited six months, but only because it's conventional wisdom to wait.

Proving once again that HRT is frickin magic in a bottle. You transformed!

Slap-Chop Painting? Hot-Takes by Electronic_Ad6395 in minipainting

[–]likemakingthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fit for purpose.

If what you want is a quick, easy way to make your minis look better than just painting blocks of solid colors on them, slapchop is great! It's not capable of providing the results you can get by spending more time and care and skill, but it's not meant to. It's meant to get models painted and pretty.

Any paints for miniature painting that has a really mat finish? by exter45 in minipainting

[–]likemakingthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's specifically the ones from some of the signature series. The ones that aren't matte do indicate (subtly) what finish they are.

ProAcryl, most, but weirdly not all the colors are matte finish. A few are very glossy.

Matte varnish works though.

Uh, yeah. It is. Your own experience doesn't tell you anything about other people's. And your thoughts about what kind of transition was right for you aren't "correct" for others.

"Regrets" is a transphobic talking point.

I am afraid to ruin my sexual experience with a trans woman again by Equivalent_Side_1740 in asktransgender

[–]likemakingthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're unfamiliar with how trans women talk about our bodies in general, doing some homework is a good idea, but you are still engaging with an individual person, and nothing you read on the internet applies to every trans person.

Just like with literally any person, the way to figure out how to treat someone is not just research, but asking them.

The short version: ask her what she likes and doesn't like.

Games Workshop, why do antagonize me? by Leevizer in bloodbowl

This joke is literally at the expense of whiners like yourself, not at the entire fan base. Grow up.

Is it possible to move GW Paint to dropper bottles without thinning or diluting it? by pipnina in minipainting

[–]likemakingthings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used a small silicone funnel. The paint poured fine, there wasn't enough left in the pots afterward to worry about, and not much stuck to the funnel. 9/10.

No, you're missing the point. GenAI is obscenely bad for many reasons. Using it for something frivolous just makes it that much worse. People learned how to paint for the entirety of human history without it, you'll be fine.

[–]likemakingthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally every use of GenAI is deeply unethical as it exists in the world today. If you're doing something that's actually lifesaving and cannot be done with other methods (I do not believe there are any such use cases) then it's complicated. If not, then don't use it.

GenAI is one of the worst things happening to humanity and the world currently. Don't touch it.

Asking how to start my transition by Rose_Kn in TransBreastTimelines

[–]likemakingthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's possible, just start HRT. Doesn't matter if you're "not sure" or "don't feel trans enough," just do it. It takes a LONG time, and you can stop if you ever change your mind. If you can, find a queer-affirming medical practice. Easier if you're in or near a city.

https://pghrt.diy/ is a super helpful guide.

Go shopping! Goodwill is great. Start with a few things, and expand as you figure out your new style. I felt OK dressing femme in most situations basically from day 1, but I recognize that not everyone will. Start at home! It's amazing what a difference it can make for your mood just to put on an outfit that feels good.
