Back on my 10th Ghost Regiment bs. Even though I said I was done painting with white. Lol 20 new mechs, 6 vehicles. I also STILL need to finish painting their Union dropship. Thinking of giving them an Overlord, too. #wip #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletopgaming #miniatures #minispainting #mecha

The 👻DCMS 10th Ghost Regiment👺Yōkai Company! Just in time before my vacation for #Halloween starts! I’ll probably spend winter finishing their dropship and the rest of the regiment that I started! #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #minispainting #paintingminis #mecha #spookymonth

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops. Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes. Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2] Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4] To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

Saw a reddit thread from a writer asking why their sales dropped and when someone pointed out their cover was AI, they argued that their writing wasn't, though. Too bad. As soon as you touch it, you're showing other creators that you lack respect for art itself. AI is reputational poison.

I find this really interesting. Even if you don't despise genAI as much as I do, if you're making art, it doesn't matter how nuanced you think the conversation is, and these hosts are 100% right -- the medium is the message and if you touch genAI, you're cooked.

Beginning to think that they're intentionally crashing the industry so they can carve up the PlayStation and XBOX divisions for Executive™️ payouts. But I suppose it's possible that the folks at the top over there are really just this short-sighted and stupid. Really -REALLY- fucking stupid.
