Agrias was the first lady knight I ever had a crush on, can't wait to play Ivalice Chronicles and be conflicted about her dedication to monarchy 🥰

this past week I failed to print something 3 times, each time re-carving on a new block, and at one point the frustration drove me so mad that I simply went to sleep for a couple hours. me from give years ago could never. 💪

Look, if you don’t get this one, it’s fine, all you have to know is that a video game recreated the War of the Roses and made it wildly entertaining to a certain subset of nerds in the late 1990s

CHOTINER: So these “rebels,” you’re a member? Despite being from House Beoulve?

RAMZA: Yea, prithee their desperate cries have awoken a burning passion within me.

CHOTINER: It says here you think Cardinal Delacroix will support you?

RAMZA: …we are negotiating, forsooth.

MO officials love following orders. see also: Schmitt suing schools for mask mandates; Kehoe undoing voter-approved measures for paid sick time, STL local police control, and enshrining abortion in the state constitution; everything Wesley Bell has done for AIPAC money. just ghouls.

Critics of Andrew Bailey, Trump's pick to help run the FBI, say the Missouri AG got the attention of the White House by following Trump’s tactic of targeting political opponents.

“What better way to show loyalty than to do exactly what Trump wants,” one said.

Trump’s Pick to Help Run the FBI Has a History of Prosecuting Influential Democrats

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s targeting of Democrats is legally questionable, experts say, but it’s helped to further his career nationally: “The more outrageous you are, the more you are ...

I bought a bunch of wood-mounted lino without thinking about how I'd register them. so, I'm finally vindicated for hoarding cardboard boxes and definitely not just being short-sighted.

apparently we solve "challenges of democracy" by having police officers throw attendees to the ground and shove them out the building after their congressman encouraged them to stay for more questions.

reporting on this is rancid, but there are accounts on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/StLouis/s/...

What are four albums that would serve as an introduction to your tastes?

Notos by The Oh Hellos (optimistic socialist folk rock)

All Hell by Los Campesinos! (wry anarchist emo punk)

New AMS Anthem, the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk OST (50% grooves, 50% jams)

Magic Lantern by Yorushika (upbeat J-pop with unexpected literary references)

I dunno about where you live, but around here it feels like people have become much meaner and more inconsiderate drivers since lockdown ended. Speeding through fully red lights, texting while driving, not checking before a lane change... Also can't zipper to save a life 🙄

I was recently in a car crash that wasn't my fault, wrecked my car, required 15 stitches in one hand, and my biggest source of anxiety as I re-acclimate to driving is that I can do everything right (as I did at the time) and someone else's choice can just fuck my life. Car culture is evil.

bring on the headless horses @ihavethatonvinyl.com · Jul 23

sometimes i think too much about how every time you get in a car you are at the mercy of other people on the road. it doesn't matter you are a good driver if someone else is drunk or distracted or a bad driver. cars are weapons, death machines and i hate that i have to have one

In April we declined an offer of $60,000 to license a song of ours to an Airbnb commercial.

Airbnb continues to make money from stolen Palestinian land and contributes to the housing crisis worldwide. We do not wish to promote or profit from this.

Added some golden yellow and gray-yellow wash to the shadows on the lighted and unlighted surfaces, respectively.

Photo of a scale model of the Monster Hunter monster, Diablos. It's roaring and lunging toward the camera. A base coat of sand-colored paint has been applied all over, and the front-facing surfaces of the model have dark golden yellow shadows in the crevices.

Since Diablos lives in deserts and burrows in sand, I thought even the deepest crannies in his plates wouldn't be the deep black I used as primer. I want a more subtle and realistic look for these models. So I put some gray wash in the big gaps to soften the shadows a bit.

Close-up of one of the Diablos' shoulder joints. The gaps between its sand-colored scales are quite a deep black, creating a very dramatic contrast.

Same close-up of the shoulder, but a gray wash of paint has been applied to the large gaps. The effect is subtler and more realistic, while retaining contrast.

For my base coats I usually use a "middle" color (kind of the halfway value between my intended highlights and shadows) on each different-colored part of the mini. Luckily Diablos is basically all one color 🙃
