Yeah man. Reading scholarly works on a topic informs you on that topic. That's how this works.

how the FUCK did they make that penguin from wallace and gromit look so evil like it’s literally just a plasticine penguin but it somehow radiates Pure Malice look at it
truly character design at its finest
Part of the reason that Wallace and Gromit is so successful is that every single character is just so expressive. The people’s lips move like half a foot every frame. Gromit has basically only his eyebrows, and he has more personality than two average real people. The Moon Machine was up there with the rest of them, and it didn’t even have a face.
The penguin, on the other hand, never expressed anything at all. It’s designed almost explicitly with purpose of not expressing anything. It’s practically featureless, with only the bare minimum of detail necessary to tell you it’s a penguin. It has a face, but it never uses it. It has no sclera, meaning it stares straight ahead at all times. It actively repels most attempts to ascribe any emotion to it – at best, you can feel that it is coldly satisfied, perhaps detachedly frustrated. I’d say it’s like a robot wearing the skin of an animal, but that’s literally the villain of A Close Shave, and he was pretty expressive.
It’s like Aardman found a tiny crack in the likability curve, far away from the uncanny valley but a hell of a lot deeper, and decided to build a penguin there.
fuck. me and my 9 roommates were at the pound voting on which cat to get. each of us cast our ballot for a different cat, except that two of us voted for the rabid horse so I guess that's who we're bringing home today
if only we had used a different system of voting, such as ranked choice or approval voting, which would have actually reflected the will of the people instead of requiring us to vote against our own preferred cats to rally behind one cat in order to avoid getting the rabid horse
unfortunately the system is built to be exploited, and those who don't understand this will unknowingly skew the vote against their own best interests!
stares into the camera pleadingly
update: I sympathize with my roommate, who is allergic to cats and rabies and thus decided not to vote, however we both just got kicked down the stairs and broke all our bones and we also have rabies now. awaiting further clarification as to how I could have prevented this by not voting
Mini-painting mutuals! What type of primer do y'all use for painting minis?
I've tried two Citadel ones, Lead Belcher I rather liked, Chaos Black is a bit too dark to paint over and dusty to leave unpainted. But they also cost an arm and a leg. I also tried some generic cheap stuff from Home Depot for painting terrain, but that stuff has either spotty coverage or dunked-in-a-bucket coverage. What's a good middle ground? A decent brand that's not hobby priced?
If you're after brush-on primer, rather than spray cans I can't recommend better than Vallejo Surface Primer. Comes in a variety of colours and available in much bigger bottles than GW for a reasonable price point. I go for black or grey in the 60ml bottles, but that's just me.
Think it's designed primarily to be used via airbrush, but works a treat via regular brush in my experience.
I also use Vallejo 70.601 Grey. It's a fantastic colour as a primer and it goes on great in the airbrush and via brush. I buy the 200ml bottles because they're cheap by hobby standards.
if something "increased by 150%," it will:
be 2.0 times as much (100 -> 200)
be 1.5 times as much (100 -> 150)
be 2.5 times as much (100 -> 250)
be 0.5 times as much (100 -> 50)
This post is less a maths question and more of a reading comprehension problem. And as we all know, we piss on the poor here on Tumblr.com
(it's 2.5, 35% of you can't read)

God I love painting Boyz.
tiktok porn is so so funny.
why even try at this point
Imo the funniest part about tiktok is that despite how ridiculous and pervasive the censorship is, there's no evidence that any of it actually works. People get videos with allegedly suppressed words to go viral all the time. The Washington Post's social media team even did an experiment where they tried to get a video suppressed or banned by saying as many "bad" words in it as possible only for it to become their most popular video by a wide margin. Hell, the only tiktok to crack a million views on my account is also one of my most profane, and some of my other most popular vids are jokes about BDSM with no censorship.
The practice of self-censorship was developed because people saw that their videos were flopping and assumed it was because they were getting shadowbanned for mature content rather than accept the reality that The Algorithm is random and unpredictable.
That entire app has made it standard practice to use Orwellian newspeak euphemisms for everything for literally no material reason. It's like the online equivalent of every desk fan in south korea coming with a timer because a huge swath of the population there believes with no evidence that you can asphyxiate if you sleep in a room with a fan running overnight.
A similar phenomenon happened on Twitter. People straight up believe they can't say words like "commission" or "fundraiser" or "auction" or else the algorithm will hide their posts from people, but the fact is people just tend to interact less with posts asking for money or advertising a product. Despite several tweets debunking it, I still see people still to this day censoring the word commission because they think it will help more people see their posts.

Reblog if I can spam you with boops
Uh so due to the "tiny drama" over at r/grimdank yesterday evening I thought "eh, why not" and reposted some old classic meme:
Then I went to bed. As this is some old meme-evergreen I expected some laughs, a bunch of commentless upvotes, and perhaps the one or other whiny chud who either gets ignored or dunked on.
However:
THIS is what I woke up to, with the post sitting at the top of the subreddit for several hours now:
Oh dear.
also i love that the phrase "piss on the poor" is functionally an effective shorthand on here for "someone has a lack of reading comprehension". wonder how long it will be before the knowledge that it is an intentional misapprehension of the phrase "piss poor" disappears and we get a Reader who says. the phrase piss on the poor is so cruel we should say something else
based on the notes of this post, which has gotten several thousand in the last day or so, we have in fact already reached this point
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers."
(Incidentally, "piss poor" is itself taken from the phrase "not a pot to piss in", which is itself a shortening of "not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it from", in reference to those so poor that they had neither home nor chamberpot. Isn't language fun?)
For those in the notes wondering, it's a reference to this ancient post:
Wow, 2012.

This makes no sense
it literally could not be more straightforward
It literally doesnt make sence, both have the same value, they're both $30
I think the failure of many people to grasp an incredibly simple, barebones metaphor is demonstrating implicit bias very well
This dude straight up stated the fucking answer and still can’t understand it, because he’s expecting the answer to be his own views lmao
No im not expecting anything its just a badly frammed metaphor
Bro you said the answer. Both have the same value despite different sizes. It’s simple. Basic. Elementary.
But it never says that, it just asks you wich one is greater and the text ends there, wich leads you to thinking that one indeed has greater value then the other, and that the one with the greater value is the answear
It asks you which one has the greater value and what is the answer to that question?
Im not about to argue over a focken tit size metaphor
Never underestimate the lack of reading comprehension on this site lmfao

Today I am starting on painting my 2,000 points Orks list. I expect to get distracted by kill-team terrain or something within a week. But I really need to have this battle ready by late Feb.
Competed in a 20 team doubles tournament in the weekend. Happy with our win / loss / win. And 5th place overall.
Here's the half painted 1,000 point army in question.
Time to ponder at yonder table! If you're looking for a physical model, you can grab one at one of my many merchants on Etsy or here on onl

Highlights from the conference room where they nominated contenders for Word of the Year 2023:
• They put Skibidi Toilet on the projector to explain what “skibidi” means.
• Baby Gronk was mentioned.
• We discussed the Rizzler.
• “Cunty” was nominated.
• “Enshittification” was suggested for EVERY category.
• “Blue Check” (like from Twitter) was briefly defined as “Someone who will not Shut The Fuck Up”
• The person writing notes briefly defined babygirl as “referencing [The Speaker]”. He is now being called babygirl in the linguist groupchats.
• MULTIPLE people raised their hand to say “I cannot stress this enough: ‘Babygirl’ refers to a GROWN MAN”
When technical issues occurred while voting on “kenaissance”, everyone had to reassure the speaker, Ben Zimmer, that he was “benough”
In a stunning upset, the last-minute nomination “(derogatory)” DEFEATS “cunty” as the most useful/most likely to succeed word of 2023.
Someone renominates “babygirl” for word of the year, saying that they have spent the past year trying to figure out if people are “little meow meows, blorbos, or babygirls”. This is in front of a room of hundreds of people.
ENSHITTIFICATION WINS WORD OF THE YEAR 2023
While verifying this was true (it is) I discovered that there is a wikipedia article on enshittification
Even though this means I'm going to end up with a poop emoji on my headstone, I'm ok with it.
UM.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW
@mostlysignssomeportents IS THE PERSON WHO COINED THE TERM "ENSHITTIFICATION"
And we are so proud of our babygirl.
