Spent the afternoon making bases for Black Knights/Hexwraiths in my Nighthaunt army. I’m not sure what happened to the cobblestones but they didn’t turn out as I was planning. They still look ok though, and loosely match the bases in the rest of the army.

I’ll be looking to get the unit painted soon, but for now it’s back to more Genestealer Cult characters.

Happy Hobbying!

OkAy?? THEY LOOK OKAY??! 🤯

Dude, I'd sell a kidney for those bases, right out of a magazine 👌🏼

The composition of color and textures is just 😚👌🏼

Why would you hide that in the notes

I want an ice maker and enough room in the freezer for a pizza and that is IT.

I want the dumbest fridge you got. Gimme the orange tabby of refrigeration. I want my fridge to pull the wrong lever and turn my enemies into llamas instead of killing them. I want the following features: keeps things cold, has compartment that keeps things colder, a door that opens and shuts.

"Here at Stupid Jeff's Dumb Appliance Warehouse we sell the dumbest fucking appliances. Check out this fridge. This fridge won't ask you about your day, this dumb fucking fridge doesn't know what an Elon Musk is and won't fucking tell you what bullshit that dumb monkey is slapping into his phone today when you try to get some fucking milk. We took out all those "smart" electronics and in their place we put a loaded Glock 9mm that is put right up to that light that turns on when you open the door, which is the smartest thing in this fucking stupid fridge and let me tell you that fucker is on thin goddamn ice, if it gets too smart and tries to turn on before you open that door, the Glock will blow it to hell. Speaking of ice, this stupid fridge makes it. It makes ice, it keeps things cold, it comes with shelves. It's sturdy enough that when your ex comes back to your place looking for their stuff that they think they left behind like nine months ago and they know that you don't have it, but they wanted an excuse to come start a fight with you and throw a chair at your head but miss you and hit your fridge MICHAEL, this fridge will keep trucking because it gives zero shits and it only lives to keep things cold. Come to Stupid Jeff's Dumb Appliance Warehouse, if you ask us if we have an app, we break your kneecaps."

I will pay you if you lobotomize it for me

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

my first ever drawing of chell

So the past few days I've been working on the world map again and I. Welll I've run into a problem. A big problem

See. Theres a big crater.

(Map rotated so it doesnt take up 4 screens lmao)

And ummm. errr. I never really considered something important. How big the thing hitting it is.

That box you might be able to see is 'another planet'. In order to fit the size of the crater it has to be. fucking. huge. Like possibly ten times the size huge. However the fact things squash i assume the crater wouldn't be perfectly round so it would maybe be wierd and flat.

However either way this is so. So much. How is gravity affected? Tectonically a lot of time is implied to have passed so what would even happen then.

However i like the idea of enormous deep crater because as sloppily modelled in the second pic, i had an idea. Marianas trench is what, 10 km deep? Imagine the depth of this thing being even 1% of the planets diameter (its a bit smaller than earth) and therefore. Imagine the insane pressure.

And therefore what is at the bottom.

I need to show this to some reddit nerds for them to tell me 100 reasons this wouldn't work and is completely ridiculous

Anyway that's cool and all. but it gets cooler. or maybe hotter. Since the crater is coincidentally on the bright side of this tidally locked system (Its a moon so it still has day and night but largely only one side gets most of the sunlight) and the way the seasons on it work is that it has an elliptical orbit that gets further and closer to the sun every 'year'.... What if the difference in sunlight and heat... melts the giant ice spot every year. causing a seasonal tide system where its real high in summer and low in winter. oh yeah. think about it. seaside towns at water level in summer and high on cliffs in winter.... seasonal islands and paths... ooouuurgghhh....

Though it wouldn't actually work I'm pretty sure. Because the pressure would make it stay ice anyway. BUT. Its reasonable sounding enough right? You'd believe it and think I understand science if I put this in my worldbuilding right. You also think plausible seasonal ice spot tide is more important than full realism. Yes you do.

Anyway probably the bigger problem is that I've envisioned the like, lowland of the crater being a flat, wet jungle that has a delta on one point of it. And ummm. Errr. I dont think the edge of the crater is flat. Not at this scale at all.

I was having trouble visualising this from an individual perspective though. What would it look like to actually be on the crater? How would the curvature work? So of course I used the finest tech to envision this.

Spore galactic adventures.

(Hey can we talk about how before its time GA was and how cool and good it still looks it still looks good and its so cool)

Honestly not sure what to do with any of this. I'm at least going to have to rethink the edge a lot.... And I already drew it too...

Seems the jungle is going to have to be way steeper and maybe have no delta. (Giant waterfall also cool) Not sure how the drop would work. Like would the atmosphere be denser. Or would it even out. or something. Lots to think about and learn be dunked on by nerds for being wrong about (fun).

This is a very cool concept! I recommend giving Artefexian a browse, that channel has a lot of easily digestible resources, and if you already have, ignore this.

I think the bottom of the crater would kinda, flatten out? Kind of like the Lunar Maria. Where it slopes down to a point.

Technically I think the shape would have been disrupted but that's boring so iunno

Oh yeah, definitely need to give Artifexian a rewatch. Currently browsing wikipedia for earth examples.

Good news, the crater can be caused by a way smaller thing hitting it- the *shockwaves* cause the crater- its more like a drop of waters ripples than dropping a marble on the beach it seems. Suuuuper cool. But. Inversely it seems the impact point is actually *higher* than the rest because of exactly what happens when you watch a drop go into water and it springs back up to fill the gap. I think thats what happens there at least.

So the giant ice spot is probably actually a giant ice ring actually, if it works at all. Also cool! The depth to do that is more so the problem... Looking at the chicxulub crater (aka the one that killed the dinos almost, 10 km in diameter) the lowest point of the crater seems to only be half the actual object... So in order to get the 100 km deep that afai can tell would definitely start to become ice, assuming earth pressure, the object would have to be at least 200 km in diameter. But thats such a huge difference I bet it would work different at that scale... And if the chicxulub crater is almost 200 km in diameter then this theoretical object would make a crater of 4000 km. But that's a wildly different amount of mass hitting it. Not sure if that would make it bigger or smaller. But I think that works out to the width it would have to be? So that's nice.

Oops, that's a lot of text. I'm probably going to realise half of this is wrong as I try and find more craters with measurements. Woo!

According to this that seems implausible, but who cares what Big Science has to say? You do you man, I will watch with great anticipation

Flatworm from Cell to Singularity

Somebody once made a really good point about Ludwig's physicality in this scene. I wish I could remember where the post was - the comment was in a tag somewhere. I was going to post about it a while back, but got sidetracked. But now I'm gonna talk about it!--

Not denying Medic's strength here, as he clearly overpowers Soldier—but I'd like to point out that I don't think Soldier was expecting Medic to attack him! If you pay attention to the way Soldier is facing and his body movements before Medic grabs him, he seems to be reaching for the bread monster on the ground next to him from the jar that was smashed on the ground. I think he was completely unaware that Medic was about to attack him, which would also explain why he seems distracted while Medic is shaking him.

Multiple people have pointed this out now, and I have to admit that with this information, Jane's movements do make a lot more sense! As funny as my original idea was ("Jane is just really really bad at hand-to-hand fighting"), it admittedly wouldn't make sense for him to be this pathetic.

So now I realize that what's actually happening is that Jane has the situational awareness of ... well... somebody who can literally only see the floor.

I've assumed all this time that he can 'see through' the helmet, as that's how cartoon logic tends to work with character design like this.

But if I go ahead and assume that's not true, he really did have no idea Ludwig was squaring up. He only saw the bread.

While this framing of the situation makes Ludwig seem, perhaps, very slightly less impressive than my original assessment... it also makes Jane seem like way more of a dumbass than I was originally positing, and that's absolutely, hilariously fine with me.

i really like the idea of soldier trying to be nice but still look like he's super upset or mad on whatever the hell you do
