All the hot girls are getting into Warhammer 40k now. Look, nobody expected this, but I don’t make the rules, okay? “Hot girl shit” now includes “understanding how the Cult Mechanicus relates to the greater Imperial Cult” and “having a favorite Space Marine chapter.” Yeah, idk. (Raven Guard, btw 💅)

So a year ago, before we even knew that there was going to be another Dragon Age game yet alone that this would be the last one, I contributed to a fanzine about the flora of thedas. The project grew and grew and finally shipped. Look at how beautiful this is! Not ashamed to admit I shed a tear.

So I’ve been playing Avowed and having a lot of fun.
Though it might be shallow in parts, it’s never vapid.
Everything that they did turn attention to is full of detail and care and honestly I love that approach rather than trying to do everything and ending up with a lesser experience overall.

Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?)
You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did ☺️
Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!

If I could give my younger self some advice, it would be:
Don't make yourself smaller for other people.
Don't defer your dreams for a relationship.
And finally, maybe most important, don't stay with people who don't put you first. If you're not their priority, they shouldn't be yours.

I still compartmentalise my fan stuff and my professional stuff even though I know that people get work through fan creation because, and I can’t stress enough, that only works if you’re writing or making art far enough into the mainstream lol

I’m not just a video game nerd by the way (honestly I’m not even sure that is the principle way in which I’m nerdy)
My Spotify this year told me that I spent most of my time listening to… the soundtrack to the 2016 adaptation of War and Peace. Which isn’t even the best adaptation the BBC has done.

I’ve booted up Rogue Trader again and man. I love this game.
Despite being in so many nerd spaces since childhood I’d never engaged with warhammer 40k and I had NO idea how camp and satirical it is. I’m having a blast playing a nightmarish bureaucrat

sometimes people are surprised that the silmarillion as a book has an active fandom but the thing is that there’s a fandom poster for everything imaginable. there is someone out there saying “rereading just to see pookie bear 🥺” and pookie is like shakespeare’s titus andronicus or something
