So I just got this offer from a Hong Kong airsoft shop:

Lambda B&T GHM-9G GBBR

It runs on TM/WE Glock mags (which I have a couple of, for the pimped out APS NotGlock), it has customization parts like stocks and a longer front available, and it costs $175 before shipping.

There's also a $68 collapsible stock available for it, and a $55 barrel extension. Not to mention, the replica Osprey can I have is a better fit for this one than for the NotGlock.

But then, I'm still thinking about the WE PLR-16, since I already have a WE MSK GBBR and I looked at Omolon Scout Rifles from Destiny again.

So I was thinking of making a reaction image of an Iron Warrior Chaos Space Marine named Predictabo, for those situations that someone fucked around and found out in a predictable situation. Aaaand then it spiraled out of control.

On the Loyalist side, I added Brother-Captain Obvius. Obviously.

Then, I came up with Thousand Sons member, Jenius. This comes from my response to someone stupid - one of those jeniuses even noticed that I misspelled "genius". Yep, real smrt, that one.

Pidoras of the Emperor's Children is a big crybaby. The similarity of one of the shots to the protagonist of The Good Doctor is entirely unintended, but welcome.

Then, there's Disgustus of the Death Guard, and if he approves of your post, it should worry you. Because you posted something really awful and disgusting.

And finally, there's Fistus of the World Eaters. He's about to deck you.

A shut-down would have limited impact on ByteDance's business while the company would not have to give up its core algorithm, said the sources, who declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media.

I find it very interesting that they don't want anyone snooping through TikTok's code, particularly the most important part of it. It's just as if it was government-created spyware masquerading as a social media app.

*ON TOP of the list.

#ICYMI, ByteDance admitted to fucking with TikTok's algorithms in order to promote World Cup and Taylor Swift. Sure. Just the fucking World Cup. And not, for example, "challenges" to burn your house down with a coin and idiotically unsafe electrical plug/socket interface specific to one particular country or tutorials on how to steal a particular model of a car.

Also, #TIL that Grindr was originally released by a Chinese company. You have a company from an authoritarian homophobic regime release a gay dating app abroad. What might be the purpose and hidden goal here? Hmm. Fucking hmm, lads.

Reasons TikTok is garbage:

Further erodes online boundaries and encourages this culture of demonizing privacy by expecting random people, including kids, to put their faces to everything, ever

Algorithmic feed is great for building cult/alt-right/conspiracy theory pipelines

Heavily favors the conventionally attractive - i.e., white, skinny, young, not visibly disabled, wealthy enough to have a pretty set and wardrobe

Does very little to combat dangerous trends and misinformation (recall the electrocution "challenge" with the penny, or mixing cleaning supplies, as well as the pipelines mentioned above)

Not reasons TikTok is garbage:

Cringy teens doing stupid dances lol

I wandered into a section of AliExpress I've never been to before and... well, fuck.

("Rising Tide" starts playing in the background)

Did I mention that I once bought an aluminium briefcase for shits and giggles, because I intended to use it in the intro for one of my livestreams but couldn't get people to shoot the actual footage? Well, I have a gift for recreating and reworking things, be it machinery, military decorations, post-apocalyptic armor, wargaming miniatures, money, court documents, heavy metal songs, give me enough time and supplies and you're gonna get something interesting. I could stuff those folders with piles of photos, maps, reports, personnel files and so on, designed by hand and optionally polished using AI (for example to get mugshots of people who don't exist, it's less controversial that way).

I think I added more stuff to favorites going through the scrapbooking section of AliExpress than anywhere else, or at least I did so faster. Even after blowing $60 or so on tacky goffick bling and Soviet medal ribbons.

China has banned American apps such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for over a decade. In just the last week, Apple was ordered to remove WhatsApp and Threads from Chinese user devices.

🤷‍♂️

It's only fair.

Like I told you.

Gala Piosenki Żenującej trwa. Ten pomysł wpadł mi do głowy kiedy jechałem do pracy i akurat na playliście nawinął się "Sword of the Witcher" Vadera. Tradycyjnie, zaczęło się od bardzo catchy refrenu:

Ja jestem lordem I masterem i słordem Jak będziesz podskakiwał To ci obiję mordę!

Tekst oryginału trochę zawiewa obciachem, jak to zwykle gdy Polacy biorą się za pisanie tekstów po angielsku (nigdy nie zapomnę tego wywiadu z Titusem z Acid Drinkers, który opowiadał, że w jakiejś rozmowie wyszło, że ma lekko zjebany łeb, i chciał tak zatytułować album, ale nikt nie wiedział jak po angielsku będzie "Lekko Zjebany Łeb" więc album nazwali "Broken Head"), więc kiedy pierwszych parę razy usłyszałem to "I am the lord and master of the sword", to przerodziło się to w catchphrase który poleciał na moich streamach już niezliczoną ilość razy. Dopisanie równie hardego ciągu dalszego było względnie proste. W ogóle mam wrażenie, że tytuł "The Lord and the Sword" też się przewinął na tej bekowej setliście dwadzieścia lat temu, z wyżej wymienionych powodów.

Niestety nic nie jest idealne, bo Automatyczne Dyskopolizatory lubią regularność i symetrię, a "Sword of the Witcher", no cóż, nie jest. Dlatego trzeba było iść na zgniłe kompromisy, żeby maszyna dała ile może i nic się nie rozjebało w procesie. Ale że to i tak nie sztuka, a hazard, bo nawet z dobrym tekstem trzeba ciągać za wajchę aż całkiem losowo wyjdzie hicior, to efekt powyżej jest chyba dziesiątą z rzędu wersją. Pierwszego naleśnika wolicie nie słyszeć.

Pełny tekst:

Już zapadł zmrok, Krwawy księżyc na niebie, Znów swędzi mnie krok, Zaraz się coś odjebie… Już wycie się niesie, Budzi się we mnie zwierzę, Znów biegam po lesie, Wpierdalam nietoperze! Ja jestem lordem I masterem i słordem Jak będziesz podskakiwał To ci obiję mordę! Nie boję się I tego nic nie zmieni, Magiczny eliksir  chlupocze mi w kieszeni! Bo ja jestem Łiczer, I lubię tanią whisky, A jak z radości kwiczę Gdy widzę gołe cycki! Ja jestem lordem I masterem i słordem Jak będziesz do mnie fikał To ci obiję mordę! Ja jestem lordem Mą ścieżkę znaczą trupy Jak będziesz podskakiwał Nakopię ci do dupy…

Contrary to what you might think, this is not AI-generated.

Long time ago, I bought myself an East German uniform or three, just for the hell of it, and even wore them to a couple of fetish parties. However, a service uniform just isn't the same without the bling, and since German military decorations, East and otherwise, are a big nope, I dusted off the idea to slap some fictional bling together and it just so happened that a shop on AliExpress had some Russian and US ribbons to go with the assortment of edgy pendants and keychains.

Of course, since I'm completely clucking nuts, I got the idea to mate the ribbon from a Hero of the Soviet Union medal with the BDSM emblem pendant for the funsies. Other medals are a bit more predictable: I found three different Destiny-themed pendants (Raid icon, Iron Banner icon and something that I'm sure is Hunter-related or otherwise from the game) since I used to play the game before Bungle decided to straight up go and rip people off, a pretty big Chaos star that I intend to use as the replacement for a knockoff Rex Mortus pendant that I bought years ago in order to use as a necklet and a Hydra pendant that's going to go with the collar patch on one of the jackets. I also bought a gold-colored Hearthstone keychain despite not playing the game, mostly due to how it's gold, attention-grabbing and inoffensive, a Baphomet pendant to match the Chaos star and the pentagram collar patch and a gold-colored Veles pendant to balance out the metal colors.

This is an AI-generated image

This is not a photo. It's not Midjourney output either. Some basement nerd kept cooking and cooking data models for Stable Diffusion until he got to this point. This looks like a hobbyist photographer messing with an entry-level DSLR camera, with mostly correct anatomy and lighting. And what's important, a five year old gaming computer will need just a minute to generate a shot like this.

I could literally take photos like this. Fuck, I did take photos like this. A bit of grit, a bit of fuzz, loose strands of hair sticking out, those pictures are better than perfect - they're believable. Any schmuck can ask for razor-sharp shots of overly photoshopped supermodels with a fuckton of filters on top on Midjourney. Good luck catfishing anyone with those. But this data model, it's so good at being average it's a fucking achievement. You wouldn't look at it twice if I didn't tell you. Those weirdly tall dandelions would go right over your head. You wouldn't even think twice about the nailpolish missing from the thumb but perfect on the index finger. Or that one weird fold on the skirt. AI characters don't have blemished skin after all. Or normal hands.

As a photographer, I'm impressed. As someone who deals with Stable Diffusion, I'm impressed too. And that does mean something.

Mistah Farian, He Dead

I just learned that Frank Farian, notorious music producer responsible for the most popular fake music bands before Dethkløk died in his house in Miami three months ago.

You probably don't know who Frank Farian was, but you know his creations, for example Boney M. Now here's the grand revelation you probably didn't know: Bobby Farrell, the big afro fronting the band, sang something between fuck-all and jack shit on their greatest hits. "There was a certain man in Russia long ago"? That's Frank Farian's own voice right there. "She's crazy like a fool"? Also Farian. Throughout most of their career, Boney M were lip-syncing on the largest concert stages of the world and not even once anything went wrong. Which can't be said of Farian's later creation, Milli Vanilli.

Milli Vanilli was Farian's titanic fuckup. The fact that the two himbos pretending to sing got pissed off because of Farian's bullshit didn't help either, and when the playback recording started skipping during one of the performances, the entire thing went to shit. Insult to injury? The himbos, Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan, actually could sing, and did so under a different producer, but Farian kept stringing them along while having someone else do what they wanted to do. That's pretty much the long and short of it.

[seriously-mike]

This is how my singing sounds. In case if you're wondering why I'm fucking with those AI song generators.

And that's pretty much the "on a good day" version.

Z nudów wpuściłem w Wielki Automatyczny Dyskopolizator dwie zwrotki piosenki powstałej na bazie pewnego odcinka Toma i Jerry'ego, kazałem mu z tego zrobić hicior muzyki country i pierdolłem.

Dżambo jedzie na zakupy, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Ta piosenka jest do dupy, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Ta piosenka jest do dupy, Nic się w niej nie trzyma kupy, Dżambo jedzie na zakupy, Dż-dż-dżambooo! A jak w końcu już dojedzie, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Kupi wódkę oraz śledzie, Dż-dż-dżambooo! A jak w końcu już dojedzie, Kupi wódkę oraz śledzie, Bo impreza tęga bedzie, Dż-dż-dżambooo!

No po prostu wiosłujcie szybciej, bo słyszę banjo. To jest absolutnie klasyczne wiejskie country z zapadłej wiochy w hrabstwie Flyover gdzieś w Tennessee, 110% wieśniaka w jego siostrze wieśniaku.

Oczywiście w notatkach miałem takich zwrotek pięć, ale że dwie akurat mieszczą się w jednym trzydziestosekundowym klocku na Udio, to pominąłem tę niezwiązaną z niczym i dorzuciłem dwie ostatnie.

Choć mam tekstu trochę mało, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Za chałupą się wylało, sz-sz-szambooo! Choć mam tekstu trochę mało, Jeszcze tu tak nie jebało, Za chałupą się wylało, sz-sz-szambooo! Z wolna kończą mi się rymy, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Nic już tu nie wymyślimy, Dż-dż-dżambooo! Z wolna kończą mi się rymy, Nic już tu nie wymyślimy, Więc już chyba zakończymy, Dż-dż-dżambooo!
