Hello! I'm Ravendas! I like boardgames, skirmish games, making terrain with Hirst Arts plaster pieces and occasionally painting a mini. I made my own purple hex gaming table and decorate with @hollandspiele.bsky.social games on my wall.

Makes me have to take annoying routes to find accounts to add to my slop list

Hashtag searches on here are weird because if you have blocked enough things for that hashtag, posts just don't appear sometimes.
If I search a common AI hashtag right now, itll come up with 'no results found', despite later finding posts from unblocked accounts through other means with that hashtag

That's a solid set! I'd be happy getting it for whatever cheap qualifies as.

Got the first book for the comic Coda for a buck from a library sale. Seems like "madmax, but fantasy." Anyone have any opinions on if it's worth reading more of?

If you lost your entire family and all your friends from being an incredible misanthrope, now you have the facsimile of a friend to talk to.

If I had millions of dollars to gamble with, I'd hold a nice solid mil back just in case every gamble went belly up, I still have a million dollars.

That's funny, I was just telling my kids about this today. Take a normal name, change or add a letter or two, poof, fantasy name.

Jarnathan is the best.

My handpicked AI slop list is up to 4,800 accounts. All accounts where their primary thing is churning out slop, checked by myself before adding them to it.

Found some AI "art" in the discover feed, which led me to a hashtag and me creating my first blocklist:
bsky.app/profile/rave...

I'll just browse hashtags occasionally to add to this, if anyone wants to mass block AI slop makers.

Just listen to the soundtrack with your eyes closed and imagine a better movie tbh

Ravendas @ravendas.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah the NIN soundtrack was really good! They can do ambient moody techno stuff needed here really well (i am not good at describing music)

I saw it, he doesn't once say "It's tron'n time", two thumbs down

Ravendas @ravendas.bsky.social · 2d

Music was amazing. Saw it in IMAX which blew my gd ears off though.

Ravendas @ravendas.bsky.social · 2d

Saw Tron: Ares last night. NOT great. Feel like Jared Leto was like "what if i was the best and coolest dude ever" and made a movie with a self insert.
Also, it's basically "what if tron stuff in the real world," and like, i just want to see the tron world. The grid. Get me outa this real world.
