Might be the time to do it, looks like they’ve pulled all existence of the Necromunda rpg announcement from the site now.

I keep telling friends and family about that guy when asked how the weekend was and it’s fun watching them suddenly try to process what I’ve just said.

His Heresy stuff is interesting because it’s not necessarily his best because of the demands of the whole narrative but is still miles above most the other authors. I reread The Unremembered Empire recently and his notes at the end really highlighted his struggle with it, almost apologetically.

Honestly, it’s stuff like this that I love seeing explored in 40k’s literature. It’s a shame Abnett seems to be the only one who gets it. Double Eagle is another cracking book where at one point a character goes for a cuppa on cafe on a pier in a miserable seaside town and I’m just lapping it up.

Eisenhorn is pulpy but also goes into amazing humdrum detail about the meals served on a train and life in the suburbs of a relatively peaceful planet in the 41st millennium before swinging into cosmic horror. This is… definitely not that.

You mean you’re *not* enjoying all the videos of literally watching paint dry? (I kid, they’re doing my head in too and seem a stark and depressing indictment of the impact influencer culture has on this hobby).

I don’t think the paint scheme helps a lot either. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some beautiful technical stonework effects going on with the larger pieces, but the faded brass/gold and green on the infantry just doesn’t pop. I can’t help but feel a bold Oldhammer scheme would work so much better.

This lot, though? Fugly and boring as hell. Not feeling the weird clash of sharp angles and that bizarre potbellied armour. The cannon is just dull and bafflingly anachronistic, like something plucked out of 40k. And don’t get me started on those guns…

Wait, I have a vague memory of that (and the Jetix logo)! I had no idea it was part of the whole Bomberman franchise though! If anything I would have said it looked Gundam adjacent.

Everything you’ve shared so far looks amazing and I cannot wait for the book. I don’t want this to sound derivative but you bring a wonderful “cosy” vibe to the megastructure that really speaks of the humanity (or other life) just trying to get by existing in it which I think often gets overlooked.

Liking the golems, loving the queen but really not feeling the infantry design, especially the weird spherical belly-plate thingy that seems at odds with the rest of the angular armour.

Honestly, after seeing that Skyrim / IKEA / Mat Berry collaboration I just immediately dropped my phone and went outside to enjoy the feel of damp grass under my feet, the gentle caress of the sun upon my skin and to scream myself hoarse internally.

Really love how simple tasks using Microsoft Office at work now take four times as long because of the amount of unbearable slowdown as a result of Copilot being unnecessarily crammed into every aspect of it.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...
reddit comment: 

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply: 

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.
