Been starting to remake one of my projects in Godot, and I'd say this about the tilemap system--compared to Unity it is less immediately obvious how to adapt it in new ways to do things the designers didn't particularly have in mind, but it is much, much faster to get started with. I am using the Better Terrain plugin, which seems a little bit more flexible than the built-in terrain system, and I'm quite happy with it.

One thing that seems like an obvious application of a tilemap system (and which I was in the process of implementing in Unity, though I do not currently plan to replicate it in Godot) is a system that more easily allows complex layering of terrain. AFAICT in games like WC3, for instance, each terrain type is drawn sequentially over the base terrain (grass or dirt as the case may be), and many have special edge pieces drawn in empty squares, so you don't have to create special tiles for every intersecting variety of terrain--the textures just naturally overlap.

Seems like a pretty obvious way to get nice-looking borders between lots of terrain types, but I don't know if there's an elegant way to do that in Godot.

Hobbyists! Mini painters! Lend me your ears.

Y'know how we call our unpainted/unbuilt minis our "pile of shame"? Well, I think we need to change that. And the answer lies with the fiber arts/quilting community. Because they call their piles of unused fabric/yarn/other string their "stash."

This is superior for the following reasons:

Pile of Shame

- negative, aggressive, puts you in a downer frame of mind

-guilt is a terrible motivator

- adding to it makes you feel bad when acquiring new stuff should be fun

Stash

- mysterious, exciting

- what wonders will I find there?

- reminiscent of dragons which is an automatic plus

So yeah, from now on those sprues are my stash and I get to pick treasured from them, instead of having a cloud of grey plastic sadness in my basement.

So I made a little split decision purchase the other day.

These are the Deathrippers from Warmachine. These were the last in stock on Amazon, and looking at most hobby shop sites I frequent, the last in stock I can find.

These little guys stole my heart the second I learned about them, and so as soon as I heard that they were no longer in print and were slowly being phased out, I immediately placed the Amazon order.

This is the first time I've ever acquired some Warmachine minis, so here's my little review of them!

These endangered bone doggos are great design wise, and I'm real sad that they aren't sticking around. I love the meshing of skulls and mechanical components in a subtle way. They aren't death guard's big biological nightmares, but they also aren't just regular ol' robots. I love the design choice to make them two-legged walker things instead of just another ol' four-legged dog thing, very creative! The porting on the necks is interesting, I'm unsure if the implications are that bones are magical and are causing it to overheat? Or maybe the machine runs hot and they want to keep the bones from getting melty? I dunno, but it's certainly neat looking!

4.5/5 on design!

Sadly, while the design is great, the mini quality leaves a little to be desired. First, the minis came in a little baggy instead of on sprues, which I have mixed feelings about.

On one hand, it's certainly convenient not to have to de-sprue the mini bits. On the other hand, these had some awful connection scars.

This was after I had scraped at them with a hobby knife for a bit, too. I'm likely going to have to pick up something to sand them down a bit. While I'm certainly calling the kettle here, I must say that these weren't taken off the sprues very well at all.

On top of that, the leg pins were slightly larger than the leg holes, which meant I had to do a mix of attempting to shove them in, scraping down the sides with my hobby knife and then rinse and repeat until they cooperated.

The instructions didn't help too much either. Figuring out how the top of the skull was supposed to fit onto the bottom took me a bit of pondering. The instructions just kinda had lines pointing to where they go.

Turns out you're supposed to attach the skull under a little overhang on the bottom jaw. The top piece has a rounded bit that fits in with a divot on the bottom piece, which... isn't what the instructions say to do.

Overall, I didn't have very much fun assembling these. Usually, (when I'm dealing with plastic, not resin minis) mini assembly is challenging, but at least a little fun. These were just a hassle.

Assembly and mini quality: 2/5

Despite that, I'm still planning on basing these and giving them the display quality treatment. In the off chance these end up becoming a collectors item or something (unlikely), it'd be nice to have some high-quality painted versions to show off/potentially sell.

Heck, since they're going out of print, I might look into making some molds of them to recast or see if I can get a really high-quality scan of them to 3D print myself! It'd be nice to not have these little goofballs fade into obscurity, I think they're my favorite thing to come out of Warmachine, if not the best thing to come out of Warmachine.

My painting area definitely fits the description of “organised chaos” just a little bit. Who else enjoys having their own little messy corner for getting painty in? Or are you more of a neat/organised hobbyist?

i've been working on a project! it's been a while since i've done any cross stitch, but it's been really invigorating to work on a design that's relevant to my interests. in the past, i've worked on kits that other people bought be that weren't really my vibe, but since i've found spooky pattern designers online, i've become obsessed.

unfortunately i got this pattern from a friend + the creator's name wasn't in the file so idk who made it. will update later if i find them or drop me a comment if you know who designed it. 💜

the designer is WildBluebellPatterns on etsy.

Curious question for my fellow mini painters, do you have a recipe book? As in, a book where you write down the general steps/paints you used for certain models?

I keep one so I can try and be consistent across the factions I have painted though I know my mixes won't be 100% perfect. Doesn't have to be either so long they are close enough.

Hi! So I've recently let myself start collecting older MLP toys after a lot of... internal conflict boiling down to dysphoria-related anxiety, and I found some 80's ponies at a Goodwill in Southern Indiana today that I couldn't pass up! I plan on cleaning them up and potentially rehairing Sunblossom as her hair is... a mess.

In doing some research though, I'm curious about this Posey I found in particular, as her hair is blonde and her eyes are green, but her hooves aren't marked anything specific to help me ID what country she may originally be from, as it looks like US Posey had pink hair and blue eyes. If anyone could help that'd be cool, I'd love to learn more ;u;
