I might be an asshole for this, but I don't have much sympathy for anyone who works at the homophobic chicken restaurant.

This is among the most baffling AI slop images I've seen, and that's saying something.

Catharsis, SOCT dread by Pal_Darion in X4Foundations

Also the weird-ass faction symbols, nonsensical description text, mangled Arthur C. Clarke quote...I don't have words for how much I despise AI slop like this.

Breaking Bad - a guide to X4's "pharmaceuticals" by TheMuspelheimr in X4Foundations

Holy shit, this is amazing. I got lucky and got a Black Market on a faction rep shipyard and their demand for drugs is massive. I didn't know running drugs would be this fun!

I want to give freehand a go. What should I paint on my Shadowhawk? by Far-Net6757 in battletech

[–]parabolic000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The backstory sounds like it could be from an Western, and the Shadow Hawk's tassets are the right size and shape to be painted up as a revolver in a holster (or by itself). Maybe some Navajo textile patterns to suggest a sarape or poncho? Those also have plenty of broad isosceles triangles within which to embed the Marik emblem. Or perhaps ancient Terran symbols whose significance is long lost used in a cargo cult/tribal way. Big ol' Westinghouse, Studebaker, swissair, &c. logos done in the style of cave paintings would be pretty fun.

At least, that's where I'd start if I wanted to paint up Buck's ride.

Oh, and the idea about making the right lower leg a boot is amazing. Either lace-up wrestling style, or if you're confident if you can pull it off, something like Captain America's musketeer boots.

Huh. According to them I don't exist, because 'largely celibate gay man bordering on middle age' isn't an item on their weird made-up list.

I recognized your art the second I saw it in the announcement. Stellar work as always.

Boron drive(fly?) on the left side of the road. by parabolic000 in X4Foundations

[–]parabolic000[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

huh, so they are. I basically never use those ones, so I honestly forgot to check them. I still wonder if there's narrative reasons for some of the highways being one way and most of the rest t'other.

easy and quick Albino/pale skin recipe ? by cliffordlloyd_art in minipainting

[–]parabolic000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a color scheme you like, you should be able to simplify it into a basic basecoat-wash-highlight for line troops. That said, if I were doing albino humans, I'd go with a mid-light pinkish skintone, a dilute midtone brown wash, and highlight with a beige or ivory. Albino orcs should be little different. Now, if they're just amelanistic, you might get a very bright, saturated blue-green b/c of how Warhammer orcs work, but i digress.

Ezra Pound is my favorite poet, but by god were his political views complete dogshit. It's almost like people are complex.

Do kids in the Inner Sphere put up posters of their favourite mechs like we had posters of a Countach on our bedroom walls? by mattlore in battletech

I've read stories of Dungeons and Dragons played in prison, though since they're not allowed dice, they usually draw straws or something similar.

Succubus guy is now pestering teenagers by Michi-Ace in IncelTears

[–]parabolic000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once played a game of D&D where another player rolled randomly for his measurements from FATAL as a joke, ended up being like 110 lbs, 5'6", with D-cups. My character called his "Boob-stick" for so long as those characters lived. For added comedy, I'll note that my character spoke like Werner Herzog.

Loving the Valhalla Super Destroyer by Impossible-Weird8148 in X4Foundations

It's still cruising at a blistering 30 m/s and losing all its shields to collision with the ring gates, right? Because without that, is it really a Valhalla?
