The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

I was in the Scouts when I was a kid (decades before coming out), and hearing familiar songs and symbols adapted for trans rights is is hitting pretty close to home. My opinion on Scouts as a whole has soured since, but I'm happy to see just how much support there is for trans rights within Guides.

Dusted off my dice to play my first AoS in about 9 months at a 6 player local. Nagash was fun and dusted some big models. This GHB definitely feels better, but I think there is a lot of room for improvement to go for AoS 2ndary scoring.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!
![Albarn: That's the lovely thing about Gorillaz - it's still committed to everything existing in its own world. It's why l put that sound on my voice to separate me from [cartoon lead singer] 2-D. He…. Well, I actually don't think he's much of a he, he's more of a 'they', isn't he?
Hewlett: They're definitely more at home in that [non-binary] world. They're a sweetheart, they're open and accepting new information.
Albarn: Exactly, it's such a nice place to sing from.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vmhrtckqi7ghdoqhf3lgvm4y/bafkreifoqfxkzjxz6oq5zh75dmks7wgy75zkpercumnvqubrm2vde4tdxy@jpeg)

Hi, I'm Cat, I've been hammering war since I picked up my first plastic power squatting space marines back in the late nineties. I'm an untreated AuDHD disaster, but at least following me means plenty of variety! ☺️

Another 40k cinematic where the marines fight nonchalantly, practically untouched, as the 'overwhelming' threat of the alien menace disintegrates before them.

Total War 40K seems a bit redundant to me, yeah there are some technical differences between that and DoW but it highlights just how many 40K games are made, and then people wonder why AoS is not as popular as it could be.
Age of Sigmar does not have a lore or story problem, it's not in any particular way more complex or unapproachable as 40K's lore and story is. Neither is also particularly amazing compared to another, both are good at what they do.
What Age of Sigmar has is a transmedia problem.

Well now I feel very bummed about selling my oldhammer Dark Elves.
Yeah I needed the money then, that's not up to question. And I couldn't know I would get this lucky 6 months down the line.
But still.
