Huh. So GW is reprinting the Sisters of Battle box from their revamp as made to order? Thats an odd choice. As someone who actually bought that on release its just a combat patrol without the sororitas rhino. Whats the thinking behind this one?

Man thinking back on Gavv its crazy how they totally nailed it so hard with Caking that Blizzard Fraudbet was largely forgotten and they just stuck with the winning formula.

So thats Zeztz first arc over and i like the show but two issues i have are one: the fighting just isnt as good as Gavv. Far less suit actor focussed and way more on cgi effects so it suffers from that “the modern mcu is just dudes on a green screen stage” effect.

Man i love reading up on peoples personal warhammer conspiracy theories. Its always far less wish fulfilment and more "how did GW reshuffle stuff and rebrand it" than you'd think.
Personally i still think Idoneth Deepkin were a scrapped WHFB project moved over to AoS.

Man remember when 40k was doing this big narrative push about the Necrons building the Pariah Nexus and just turning off peoples brains on system wide scales to deny the warp power?
and that went absolutely nowhere?

Anyone who calls art “content” or refers to customers as “consumers” has taken the corpopill and cannot be trusted on a fundamental level. These are skinwalkers who replaced the person going “yo check this cool thing out” with “so i started my brand journey-“. They are inhuman beasts now.

Saw a gen X guy getting mad at kids saying an xbox 360 had "the classics" because real uncslop needs to be atari apparently but i mean the 360 had Morrowind and Max Payne so the kids seem to be making the right choice here.

Baron of Dice was nice enough to send me some of the new Prussian dice from their official partnership with @trenchcrusade.bsky.social & I decided it was a great opportunity to take a pic of my warband as they currently stand.
I still have a few models to add. 😊

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

The Larian situation is fascinating in terms of how insulated and blind C suites are nowadays. Actual production knows AI is poison. Marketing is being told to obfuscate it as much as possible because its inclusion kills sales. But the bubbles gonna crash so hard the idiots who bought in are stumped
