Hello! I'm Couchman (he/him), and I paint models! Mostly 40k these days from a number of different factions, but occasionally I do some other stuff!

Other interests: TTRPGs (D&D foremost), board & card games, comics, and art!

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like

Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives'

a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not'

so the funding disappeared??

and people are dying??

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

A spooky, cobwebbed image of a wall with a light at the bottom. The cover for LIMINAL by Raphael Ness, which is a hand-painted hallway with a shadow person standing off-center, sits in a blue summoning circle with the words "AVAILABLE NOW" above and a link tree link at the bottom. A small traditional sheet like ghost image touches the side of the book, and it looks like it is happy.

Yeah, I wish I could be shocked, but this is like... the 5th time something like this has happened. Not to mention just how some of those assholes talk in public.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Dude had to go *back and forth* with an AI to come up with that!? Sweet and salty Jesus, I am notoriously bad at dating and I can figure that shit out without the "help" of the nonsense machine...

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
