I am in absolute love with this new piece of art from the Leagues of Votann codex of Buri Aegnirssen facing down a massive Tyranid.
It just got posted alongside a stack of the new background in said codex.

Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose.

www.status.news/p/the-onion-...
What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business? The Onion’s process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. That’s why I don’t touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they’re already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that’s working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it’s that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.

We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.

the only way they could be clearer is by opening every single book they publish with a note that the Imperium is the absolute worst and cruelest government that has ever existed anywhere and life inside it is a ceaseless nightmare for close to 100% of its inhabitants
If you come to a Games Workshop event or store and behave to the contrary, including wearing the symbols of real-world hate groups, you will be asked to leave. We won't let you participate. We don’t want your money. We don’t want you in the Warhammer community

the Hoenn region, one of the most hostile regions, has just put a nasty 50% tariff on all pokemon. if this tariff is not removed immediately, Kanto will put a 200% tariff on all BLAZIKENS, GARDEVOIRS, AND ABSOLS COMING OUT OF HOENN. this will be great for the zubat and pidgey businesses in Kanto

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Amir Satvat, The indie game of the year, and GOTY acceptance speeches all making acknowledgements to the greater industry at large, legit made me appreciate what this stupid award show can actually do. There's potential for it to be more than 3hrs of ads.
