Just completed Resonance: Plague Tale Legacy. I really liked it, however I did the whole time feel like 'but why didn't she mention this the whole time we were with her in Plague Tale Requiem? They sort of explained it at the end but... I dunno.

bit weird that yesterday Shopto said that my copy of control resonant was in their warehouse ready to ship today and today they're saying that it's been delayed because according to remedy the copies don't exist. Who to believe!

So. I bought this years ago, for over £100 on kickstarter. It’s an augmented reality puzzle box experience thing. I bought it to be a sort of house warming/ongoing house experience. I am now throwing it out without ever using it or solving a single puzzle.

I went with space marines specifically because I figured there was 0% chance they’d get rid of them, but they still found a way to get me! I was just about to buy centurions, a predator, a dreadnaught! I guess they coulda waited till after I bought them 😅

JSRVarma - Solo Dev @dantecross.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I feel like the recent space marines legends list is my fault. Every time I’ve gotten into 40k in the past they’ve discontinued the army I bought the codex for. I got back into 40K 2 months ago, went with space marines and now they’ve gutted them like this? Are they targeting me? #warhammer40k

I returned to the hobby a couple months ago as a way of finding a hobby that didn’t require a screen. Chose basic ass space marines cos I’d been burned in the past with factions that got discontinued a week after I bought the codex and I felt there was no way that would happen with these boys 😅

My army’s very first Warhammer 40k marine painted! It’s an infernus marine sergeant. It is not perfect by any means but I think it is a very good first full go. The marines that will be in its squad will be worse cos they are what I practised on but that’s okay they are still usable Also: wrong base
