Kurt Vonnegut said that all stories boil down to man in a hole.
Soft sci fi - man in a worm hole
Hard sci fi - man in a black hole
Literary fiction - sad professor wants a hole
Thriller - man in a plot hole
Mystery - hole in a man
Fantasy - Lord of the holes
Romance - ummm

DID YOU KNOW: Ontos is just me in the spare bedroom where the Mighty Max and POGs are stashed, making minis.
You sharing the Gamefound or telling your friends the minis are cool is the best. Thanks.

Apparently it’s survival of the fishest
So we got a fish tank about 10 days ago. Followed all the instructions, added all the bits and bobs. Got the temp, Ph, etc all spot on.
This weekend we went and got our first 6 fish.
At the shop there were 6.
In the car there were 6.
I released 6.
There are 5 fish.

When I was 9 I had a fight with my friend and in the heat of the moment I said something racist.
Several things happened immediately:
He was upset.
His parents were upset.
My parents were upset.
I fell into a deep well of shame.
I was justifiably punished.

One of the most jarring things about social media is following incredible, award winning authors and discovering they’re utterly ratfucked financially.
And then watching their work get fucking stolen.
I dunno, this doesn’t feel sustainable.

Dear Games Workshop/Black Library.
Please reprint every single Ian Watson novel as a limited edition boxed set. But with vinyl/faux leather covers, not fabric.
Yes I know Ian Watson's books are kind of a meme, but they are objectively an important piece of 40K history.
Do it you cowards!

In the dying days of the 41st millennium humanity faced the greatest threats to its existence since the heresy. Abaddons 13th black crusade had succeeded in shattering Cadia and his dark designs had split the galaxy in two.

if I've one wish for 2026 its for people to stop sucking their teeth at prices for short run and one off art, models, etc. the folks who make stuff for their living have the same rising costs as everyone and spending £££ on factory-produced stuff costing pennies but not on artists really ain't fair

Trumpa Lumpas. As bad as it gets.
They are like regular Oompa Loompas so they should be mischievous but, essentially, good.
But then they go and die their hair like Trump and cosplay as Hitler Youth. Definitely bad!

Four of BattleTech's five 3025-era Successor Lords. I'm sure none of them considered themself a villain, but each is responsible for untold suffering and death.
