Oh this takes me back

Likely a slightly warped CD case with a grippy bit in the middle that’s undersized. Which means the discs can rotate and then collide with the case. But key to the scratches is the undersized grippy thing, a good case won’t let your discs spin.

Cheap cases have been doing that since I was a kid and I burned my first CDs back in the day. Nothing quite like being the cool kid with a CD burner back in the day.

God I’m getting old.

I’m just going with a Ryzen 1600x system because I have one on hand

My current system has a pair of 12 thread Xeon CPUs and I really don’t need them, plus I’m wanting to go with normal consumer hardware for the new system for repairability reasons

Here’s a link to the source on the artists Deviant Art page.

Hot damn that’s a lot! They ain’t messing around with that requirement.

My current server has 32 MB of VRAM. Yes, MB not GB. Once I finish the hardware migration it’s going to 8GB but that’s not even a drop in the bucket compared to that requirement.

It’s pretty old hardware to say the least, it’s also really proprietary. (Old Dell PowerEdge T610)

My hardware migration I’m currently in the midst of is going to bring it more in line with my typical use case for it.

Basically taking it down from 192 GB of ECC DDR3 to around 32 GB (maybe 64 GB) of DDR4 RAM. Also down to a single CPU rather than dual socket.

In terms of RAM it’s not impossible, my current little server has 192GB of RAM installed.

The VRAM would be quite the hurdle though, I’m curious on it’s requirements for VRAM

Edit: Moving data in anticipation of a hardware migration ATM so basically none of the services are running.

Personally I’ve found I can’t just use weed (or alcohol) in moderation, I just basically pick back up where I left off.

Currently I’m in my 4th bout of sobriety from alcohol and my 3rd from weed. My sobriety from alcohol so far has been the longest bout of my while life at about 6 years and weed is currently at about 9 years.

For some people quitting and then using in moderation is possible, for some it’s impossible. For some it also depends on the drug as well.

I have bad news for you friend…

You might be a robot

Of course he’s content, he has his favorite human there

If I was in the same room as my favorite human I’d be pretty content too, apple or no apple

God I miss my favorite human

Hot damn that’s a good paint job!

That base look freakin awesome too, any tip for the painting of that base?

DND can be really fun with the right people and playing with friends definitely stacks it in the way of fun potential

In terms of mini painting I really dig it, it’s so relaxing to just sit down and paint a mini

Making minis both physically and digitally is also really fun though I don’t do it very often. Most of the 3D modeling I do is CAD stuff but I’ve been dipping my toes back into Blender lately. I don’t currently have any models I’ve made in Blender I want to show off but that’s usually how I tackle any creative endeavor; I spend a few weeks exclusivley doing internal feedback, then a few months to a year with some external feedback from a very limited group, then after that I’ll show stuff publically. That way I can learn and have fun without worrying about people sucking the fun out of it before I can grow into it.

Edit: But the best way to start a new creative endeavor into a process is to just do it. Make mistakes, fail, learn. But most importantly: have fun.

Painting some minis mostly (technically just dry brushing today, there’s too many for more). They’re for some sessions of One Page Rules that my buddies and I are getting into.

And planning tomorrow’s DND session though I fully expect it to go like the last 2 sessions; sessions that should have been delayed as one player was in condition to play both times. (Once for getting too drunk the day before and once for having a kidney stone kicking their ass)

Here’s a pic of one of the dudes I finished dry brushing before this current little break.
