Can’t tell you how stoked I am for this one, guys.

Leia has to juggle a dead husband and brother, a son cosplaying her dead Nazi dad, a sand orphan wanting training in a religion she doesn’t really follow and also leading the remnants of a dying rebellion against a galactic fascist government.

Just another Tuesday for her.

I bet a little kiss of atmosphere spray would diffuse the light almost perfectly. For photos, at least. I’m not the world’s best at lighting miniatures. I’ve rigged LEDs with wax paper and/or cotton balls for photos back when I did toy photography but I have no idea how smart people would do it.

Mos Eisley always gets that bright white washed-out Tunisia lighting, IMO.

Let’s politely ask @philszostak.bsky.social to slide that under @infinata.bsky.social’s office door with no explanation and see what happens.

[Author’s Note: It would just end up in the bin, but I’ve learned to accept dramatic irony as my destiny.]

Because we wouldn’t want to offend who exactly, Ubisoft? What’s that demographic like and how much do you like their money?

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Final Fantasy X is a masterpiece for a reason. It’s not my beloved IX (I’m forever biased) but the story is far stronger than XII and the combat system is way more gratifying.

It’s October, so I have an excuse to recommend four of my favorite nonfiction titles that cover the New England Witch Trials for my spooky history nerds who aren’t already @hollyfrey.bsky.social.
