the prequels are fascinating because they're made by someone who cares deeply about the project, but is also not great at character writing and is pioneering visual technology which makes significant chunks of the movies look... bad
not my preferred era but not as bad as 2/3rds of the sequels...

well they got a copyright strike so they pallet-swapped it to "reddy"
essentially it's "furries are degenerate perverts and killing them is Good" and the punchline is a black templar killing the bluey family not because they're not human, but because they're "witches", the hilarity...

having seen the bluey "parody", i suspect it's because the author actually likes the imperium and wants it to happen but doesn't want to be open about it

time to put a scrungaloid nurse in a pin-up pose

the best 40k books have both fucking and ladies, this is no coincidence
("but what about the infinite and the divine?" fools, trazyn and orikan's milennia-long feud is the necron equivalent of sex)

consider: transmasc imhotep

the mummy is also trans?

okay this is great

also when it's not one of three paperbacks in SW published this year XD
at the same time, the silly stuff *made* the old EU - moffrences and the constant attempts to fit every book into one timeline so the battle of yavin lasted for more than a day - as much as the more serious treatments

realtalk: 75% of my personal affection for the old SW EU is nostalgia; the remaining 25% is a mix of mostly encountering the well-written stories and appreciation for how much more democratic the nonsense felt; at least until they decided the NR had to collapse and go fascist...

so the real answer is to side with the NCR (read legends) because ulysses is a prick? :P

i *think* you can do something through patreon that way, as a reward tier? but i've not used it myself

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

the west end games one went into some pretty cool detail here - idk if AOR does this, but the rebellion in WEG had entire worlds dedicated to resettling refugees and an entire fleshed-out naval doctrine

So which is it? Is the miraculous AI video generation all they say it is, or are the people who produced this advert actually pretty hardworking and edited together the best bits from a random process that likely produced hours of unusable footage? AI hype can't have it's cake and eat it.

hell yes

(there was an... original xbox? third-person action rpg adaptation where you travelled through periods of history and it ruled)

sadly, it provided a boost to the fascist junta in the UK... :P
