This lost part of our past was responsible for so many of the things we're nostalgic for. 90s MTV was a smorgasbord of the kind bonkers nonsense this culture produced. Look at who Liquid Television introduced us to during its run.

I think feeding the concept of "boys will be boys" into a woodchipper is long overdue.

Another Found Family Adventures space marine. I misinterpreted the kookaburra as a kingfisher and went with it. #warhammer #kitbash #miniatures #minipainting #nerdlings
A space marine captain welding a power sword and a relic shield. The head has been replaced with that of a 3d printed kingfisher. The armor is painted in teal, white and orange.

I think part of this may be that it's no longer a given that support for these projects means support for the people that actually worked to make them. Same thing with AAA games.

A few more chonkos done using @ffacrafts.bsky.social's space marine heads. We've already picked the recipients of the next three. #warhammer #kitbash #nerdlings #miniatures
Five space marine models are arranged. The three in front are a screaming possum marine in yellow armor strumming a bass guitar, an emperor penguin marine in blue armor anf a fuzzy snake thing in red armor with a cowboy hat. Behind them in a boxy green speeder are Pigeon Hood and Blahaj the shark piloting.

Made a "poster" of my ongoing series of #Lego #robots whom I imagine as characters (and the actors that play them) on a mega-hit holoshow on Planet Robotica called 'The Astro-Kids' and its spin-off 'Astro University' Check out all my bots on planetrobotica.com
A poster of 35 robot characters of all shapes and sizes in three rows against a white background, two rows of heroes (the adventurous young siblings and their cat; the huge but gentle uncle; collegiate archetypes like the sporty one, the hipsters, the goofball, the science nerd; the doting grandparents); and the bottom row of villains (the evil pirate and his bumbling henchemen, all of mismatched parts and colors with lots of gold; the evil scientist and his henchmen; the mad professor and his mindless minions; the evil clown with a giant mallet; the zombie-like skeleton-bot; the purely malevolent lanky "virus" bot; the ambiguous anti-hero)

Let's get on with Bugs! These 3 are most directly inspired by one of my all time favorite game series, Hollow Knight+Silksong. The cultural identities of the various types of bugs are superb. I had to balance light and dark with the moths and snails, and who can deny how cool the mantis tribe is?
A serious of three models inspired by Hollow Knight and Silksong. One is a moth character with a rustic sun-shaped staff with arrowheads attached and beaded necklace, one is a large mantis with a four-eyed mask and serrated pincer horns, and the last is a snail shaman with staff and a shell headdress. The figures are printed in grey resin and photographed on colorful dice.A serious of three models inspired by Hollow Knight and Silksong.

Thinking on this now that I'm back at work, the apathy is almost a physical thing. The standards around coding quality have taken a pretty violent nosedive now that the C Suite sees dollar signs. Makes a developer feel like the last 3 decades of learning good coding practices was all for show.

I actually like doing the things AI supposedly "solves". Being forced to use it at work has done nothing but increased my apathy towards what up to a year ago was interesting and challenging work. When I consider using it personally, well, I'd rather shove an icepick up my nose.

Having been made compulsory at my workplace, I can report AI is great for churning out content on projects you don't want to bother with or learn anything about. Standards have dropped so far you can get away with barely half-assing.

I see we're lamenting this site's inability to have a "normal" discussion around genAI. Just a reminder that this started with the AI folks jacking themselves raw at the thought of destitute, immiserated creatives. It's never been a normal conversation.

It's been too long since I've posted a mini, so here's an update to the wannabe Noise Marine starring @ffacrafts.bsky.social's screaming possum space marine head. Still some detailing and other bits left to do but this was a ton of fun. #miniatures #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer #kitbash
Mostly painted miniature of a Warhammer 40k space marine librarian. He is wearing yellow armor with purple and burgundy robes. In place of his usual 2 handed scepter is a large purple bass guitar fashioned out of left over bits of other kits.  His left hand is curled over the fretboard like a claw while his right hand is raised high above his head, chrome pick shining as he grasps it. To top it all off, the usual super serious angry boy helmet has been replaced by yhe head of a screaming possum.

This is especially bad when trying to look up code. I don't need the slop slinger to give me an example of How To Do The Thing when I'm looking up how to fix a very specific bug I encountered while building The Thing. Also, AI has destroyed traffic and engagement on sites like Stack Overflow.

It's the impunity. Give people literally any actual way to remediate the damage these people cause and this kind of stuff doesn't happen. The way things work now, enough money gets you a free pass on the absolute worst crimes. This is just how things inevitably shake out in that environment.
