So how would one start checking Warhammer without any prior knowledge?
  • The Infinite and the Divine. Follows two Necrons, but you don’t need to know anything at all about them or 40K beforehand. It’s standalone, but connects with another set of books should you want more. It eases you into the density of the lore, while having the over the top charm we love about 40K.

    Having read I don’t know how many warhammer books at this point I disagree with the Eisenhorn starting point. It’s good, but if you’ve read any sci/fi fantasy novel in the last 20 years then you’ve basically read Eisenhorn, but now it has a 40K paint job. Follows humans, which granted are interesting in the universe, but we’ve read enough about humans check out some immortal space robot mummies instead!

  • Loqueesha (2019)
  • You’d think this would be a career suicide film but it’s aaaaaaalmost okay. At times the creator’s heart is in the right place, but fumbles the bag pretty hard by, you know, making this. It’s possible the script folks read was different enough that they only saw the wholesome parts. That or they were paid a shit ton.

  • Loqueesha (2019)

    After giving advice to a woman struggling with relationship problems, Joe is encouraged to audition for a local radio time slot. Joe hesitates to apply, but auditions in order to afford to send his son to a private gifted school. After getting rejected by the station, he resubmits an audition recording as Loqueesha, a no-nonsense sassy black woman, and becomes a national success.

    An incredibly baffling film. It flies right up to the self aware sun but always manages to crash back down to out of touch reality. Highly recommend

    My recent experiences with big budget AAA after years of avoidance
  • This is an interesting take because I would expect the complete opposite. I find it extremely tedious when AAA games force the player into situations where they have to climb or walk slowly so they can pan the camera to whatever fancy graphical set piece their art team made, and more time doing that then any gameplay. Why not just watch a movie at that point?

    When playing a game I want a game. It’d be incredibly frustrating if every time I solved a square in Sudoku I had to then watch an episode of a TV show. Heartening to hear AAA is swinging back the other way and wasting less time.

  • Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Announcement Trailer
  • When the game pitch is a cinematic trailer, then a whole bunch of name drops Directed By X, Starring Y, Soundtrack by Z, and not a single mention of what the heck the player is even gonna do in the game, when will AAA studios drop the pretenses and do what they actually wanna do and just make movies

  • Highlander II: The Quickening
  • I saw all 5 Highlander movies for the first time this year and this one was my favorite by far.

    The aliens send people into the future as a punishment? Then when the punishment isn’t punishment-y enough, they send goons into the further future to kill the guy?? And then when the goons point out ‘why bother? Why not just wait and he’ll die anyway?’ Also why even wait because time is apparently a pointlessly easily accessible plaything but NO QUESTIONS go to future kill old man???

    Incomprehensible, hilarious

  • Kairos Fateweaver as done as I can get em
  • Thanks! The wings were the first thing I did, felt most comfortable for what I was going to do with them and how, having done similar for other daemons in my army. Knocked that out quick. I spent the rest of the paint time being indecisive on how to do the skin, heads, greebles, and ya know, everything. Repainted soooo many times while avoiding touching the wings with all might

  • Kairos Fateweaver as done as I can get em
  • I wanted a lord of change for my thousand sons army cause big bird demon wizard is too cool not to include, but was told kairos is only 10 points more and better so I slapped on the second head. One day I’ll hopefully be able to try the game and figure it out for myself~

  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining
  • Nice to know, but it’ll really come down to VST support. I can relearn a new DAW, but I can’t magic up new libraries. I also don’t really wanna have to learn futzing with Linux when I have enough hobbies. As much as windows sucks, it’s convenient that their product supports everything I want out of the box. Once a Linux distro can do the same for my needs, I’m all in.

  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining
  • Losing Ableton and all my VSTs are dealbreakers with Linux for me. Would be fine with the games I play, being all mostly single player indies. I could relearn a new video editing software, and I assume Citrix will work fine for all my work programs, but maaaan I’m not losing my favorite VSTs.

  • Anyone have any tips to make my Thousand Sons Rhino to look more like it's erupting with tumorous growth?

    Looking at it, I feel like it kinda looks like I just slapped on random bits and milliput. I did, but I want it to look more purposeful/part of the piece.

    I watched Midwinter Mini’s video for the nurgle land raider and used much of that for inspo. I really wanted the PVA+Superglue trick to work but it did not come out as nice for me. I thought about adding more and just not painting it, but a bit worried about slapping that on miiiight be too much?

    If anyone has any advice to make it look more like a flesh change or parts erupting from the metal (or any other advice to elevate this) I would greatly appreciate the guidance.
