it’s a real shame that the obsession with “canon” and wikipedia-ification of fiction has people playing choice-based games like they’re a problem to be solved rather than a series of choices you have to stand by.

Gotta respect Mick Gordon for mixing his usual djent with Knocked Loose vibes and cartoon sounds on this absolute banger of a track. I need to play ABSOLUM soon.

Mais oui ! Bulwark, ça fait un moment qu'ils sont sur mon radar, mais je connais personne là-bas, faut que je me transforme en souris pour faire un peu d'espionnage industriel ! 🐭

Beaucoup de talent, donc.

C'est un risque inhérent au genre. On le sent encore un peu ici, mais la possibilité de jouer avec les Nécrons - on alterne dans la démo - aide beaucoup à dynamiser l'expérience. On aperçoit aussi quelques pistes visuelles qui pourraient aider. Tu testeras et tu me diras ! :)

I've been playing a ton of tactical games lately, but funnily enough, none nearly captivated me as the MECHANICUS II demo, now available on Steam. Super easy to pick up, clear systems, great voices: it feels like W40K is about to receive another cool game, which is always good news in my book.

The key art visual for the game Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus II, where we see two faces representing the playable factions: a hooded cyborg for the Adeptus Mechanicus, and a metallic skeleton for the Necrons.

No, you've given me an idea: now I want to see the Kriegified (or at least Maxwellified) version of the Fellblade ha ha!

An absolute beast of a kit! I hope they've somewhat improved the tracks system compared to the Baneblade, though - but it certainly looks like it from your pictures. I'm tempted to use it for my Guard at some point.

Really vibed with the aptly named ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. PTA and his stellar cast go all out on this portrait of a broken America: intense, sharp, and funny as hell.

A screenshot of the movie One Battle After Another, where activist Perfidia (Teyana Taylor) holds captain Lockjaw (Sean Penn) at gun point the middle of the immigration camp he commands. Behind them, rounds of artisanal mortars light the night.

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Il est vraiment brillant ! Après l'intro je pensais pas qu'il pouvait monter en puissance mais c'est bel et bien le cas, dans la séquence de photomontage et le speech final, bien sûr. Vraiment inspirant.

Discovering JFK during an unprecedented democratic crisis - in America and beyond - is sort of a bizarre experience. But damn, what a movie. Really inspiring craftmanship (the editing, in particular) and message, both worthy of your time. Don't sleep on it like I did.

Actor Kevin Costner in the movie JFK. As DA Jim Garrison, he tries to convince the jury of a court room with drawings depicting the bullet trajectory of the shot that killed president Kennedy.

Staggered by Peacemaker S2. Yes it’s an action packed, crass, hilarious hang out with weirdos. But it’s taking a huge risk emotionally by asking its lead and all of America without pulling punches: is what you think will make you happy worth other peoples’ oppression? Isn’t perfection just fascism?
