With AI there is an amount of laziness and acceptance of distortion that people do take on. With it being a fast amalgamation of the information it had access to it makes good first drafts for anyone willing to refine it.

The downside is that people are truly lazy, or rather lead by those who are more lazy than others, unwilling to put in effort…[Read more]

Back from my short holiday. Couldn’t do as much walking as usual becases of the Achilles problem and it did ache, but was managable.

Drank too much beer. Ate some hearty meals the breakfast buffet in the hotel was one of the best (perhaps the best) I ever had as everything was cooked perfectly.

Now I need to detox after too many hash browns,…[Read more]

It sounds very much like you’ve a resin model with uncured resin inside.
Whether it’s 3d printed or not, that’s almost always the root cause of weeping models. And if it’s uncured resin trapped inside, no amount of washing, priming, painting etc. will fix it, sorry.
That it’s weeping from points where you drilled it also suggests it’s something…[Read more]

But is it 3D printed? By all accounts this should be a traditional moulded resin model with metal parts. So if it’s weeping resin that implies and issue with the resin mixed they poured into the mould. I’d suggest contacting Warlord as their customer service (in my experience) is great.

That Alice diorama is fantastic, and creepy as.  Wonderful stuff.  I could see her in a corner of a Trench Crusade board, giving out some sage advice to the passing pilgrims 😀

I don’t think there’s a place for Alice anywhere, in any army!

Challenge accepted! I’d say she would work as a Demon for One Page Rules Grim Dark and Fantasy. As Demon or Giant construct in Frostgrave, movie set in 7TV and I’ll you there is some more I can’t think about right now.

Does that mean that your load of painted armies are a happy unintended consequence of your painting?

I think you’re vastly overstating my achievements to date. But, basically, yes!
I don’t actually do much gaming (in fact, in the last couple of years, about zero). When I did, the most fun I had was against my son-in-law in Sicily (we played over…[Read more]

On AI – I don’t use it and don’t really see the point in its current form.  I undertand it can be fun and that’s fine, each to their own.  I had colleagues who used it to write content for work – in education this was lesson planning and tests or summarising documents.  It just felt like cheating to me.  The reason I was worth money as an edu…[Read more]

You could just send him in armed only with ChatGPT.
I’ve heard people describe it as magic.

I absolutely agree with everything you said about AI. What amazes me is how nobody asked for it, yet it’s here as the answer to everything and is actually not very good at any one single task. Has anyone successfully used LLM-generated code? It’s great…[Read more]
