Dan @ravenson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The adage that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof still applies. We might not be able to disprove the “theory” that we’re not the first advanced civilisation, but there’s zero evidence for it. So, in the absence of evidence, go with the explanation that requires it least. 110

Dan @ravenson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’ve decided that Tone Pro paints from #GamesWorkshop are probably a con. Someone there said “let’s make a paint that does the same job as the paints we already have, only make the user blob it on thicker to get the same result so it runs out faster. More blobs, more money” 000
Dan @ravenson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’ve been seeing a lot of “I tested out the new Tone Pro paints from GW and they’re amazing” type posts, accompanied by photos of miniatures that look like the painter was set on fire halfway through. Maybe not the launch GW was hoping for… 000

Dan @ravenson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026So #GamesWorkshop confirming no #LegionsImperialis for the rest of the year, meaning it’s been unsupported for 12 months. Looking like a dead game to me. On a positive note, though, that means the fans can take it over and it’s not subject to the three year churn like the rest of the games. Yay? 010

They all serve the story. They are owed nothing. 000
