Time for some proper introductions. You can call me ET. I’m into lolita fashion and Warhammer miniatures. I hope to be somewhat active here. Thanks for checking my stuff out! #WarhammerCommunity #lolitafashion

I'm so sad. I was hoping to see whatever they were making next. I was hopeful, in spite of everything.

Wanted to celebrate my first slaying of the Compiler a bit back with an idea that's been buzzing around in my head. Every death in Cryo made me think of Vivec's "Reach heaven by violence." #MarathonGame #MarathonART @marathonteam.bungie.net Eat The Path

More Black Templars! Here is my Sternguard Veteran Squad proxy, featuring marines donned in Artificer MK3 Iron-pattern armour from the Scouring era. #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammerpainting #horusheresy #spacemarines

I am vindicated for being the only kid in high school to listen to Macklemore when he was at his biggest. It's nuts that people like kanye and chris brown can still perform at concerts, while Macklemore is shafted.

Veteran Intercessors from the Armageddon campaigns? And a kitbashed Decimus Kill Team, both for my Deathwatch. More hobby progress is good progress. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammerpainting #Spacemarines

I finished a squad of Fire Dragons awhile ago. I used an alternative Aspect Shrine paint scheme from one of the older Craftworld Eldar codexes, and I think it turned out pretty well. #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerPainting #Aeldari

Here's the thing: when someone loves your work, they talk about it. They recommend it to their friends, & those friends who love it do the same. That process is invisible to you, but it's 10 billion times more powerful than every algorithm and social media number you'll ever see. Just make your art.

My Ironbreaker-pattern Hekaton Land Fortress is finally complete for my URSR Ironbreaker kin. This was one of my biggest kitbash projects. I’m so happy with how it turned out. #Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity

It sucks that Marathon is being put in a position to wholly support Bungie. I really wish that were the case because I truly believe both Marathon and Destiny can co-exist.

Bungie@bungie.net

Management is entirely to blame for this. I cannot stress that enough. The devs of both games need more support than ever, wherever they end up.

Straight up derailed my anticipation for this game. Let dead people rest. We have had over 30 years of progress between when Tupac was alive and now. There are hundreds, THOUSANDS, of black artists out there that would've jumped at the chance of being in a game like this.

Opening my phone this morning to the devastating news of John Blanche's passing. His was some of the first Warhammer art my eyes ever beheld, the pieces that defined the 41st millennium for me and countless others. He was a visionary creative and his impact is fundamentally incalculable.

Some more hobby progress, this time in the form of the Hearthkyn Salvagers Kill Team. I think I have my paint scheme locked down indefinitely. It’s exactly where I want it to be. #WarhammerPainting #WarhammerCommunity

I recently finished a few Kill Teams, and this is one of them. The Goremongers are great models that look totally different from any other World Eaters unit. I’ve tried my best to push my ability to paint skin tones, and these models are no exception. #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerPainting

my heart goes out to all the talented creatives at Bungie who struggled under catastrophic mismanagement for years trying to make a good game who will likely be thrown into the worst games job market in history

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

You know I've been so excited for the new Custodes so I got my box yesterday and dived right into painting the new shield captain!! Well specifically her face which is stunning btw 🥹 Hope ya like her and wish me luck for the rest of the mini lmao #warhammer #warhammercommunity

when you really think about it, the true value of video games is in laying off thousands of the people who make them at regular intervals in order to increase shareholder value 🥰

I realize I never posted my Wraithblades I finished last month for my Iybraesil Eldar. Another unit I can call finished. #Warhammer40000 #Eldar #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity

Having played the Marathon Server Slam for 5 hours over the weekend, I think I have a better handle on my thoughts. Here's a thread:

-I could think of in gaming history - but it was all in the realm of a first-person shooter. It's possible for them to do it again! But......again, this is an extraction shooter. There's not much room for deeper meaning when people shoot you on sight or call you names over proximity chat.

I hope the game is good, and I hope the people who worked on it receive the amount of success they deserve. #Marathon

-animated short that was released last year, but I want that in game. I want to experience the same emotions I had when Ellie saw giraffes for the first time in The Last of Us, or when Shepard left Earth in Mass Effect 3, or even when we finally defeated the Witness in Destiny 2 and sat on top-

-of the HELM, watching the Traveller in space. I understand that Marathon isn't that game, but I really do hope that Bungie try something to separate themselves from all the other extraction shooters out there. I want to trust Bungie, I really do because they've given me some of the best stories-

-what's been shown. I love the aesthetic, the theme of government vs. corpos, the concepts of immortality and identity (and loss thereof). How deep will Bungie want to go with this? Do they want to go deeper at all, or is this game purely for the streamers, leaving the rest of us to scramble for-

-any morsel of story or lore bits? I guess I want a dedicated singe player experience, where all these big voice actors they've hired speak to one another to show us captivating portrayals of new and exciting characters. I love the idea of Ben Starr as Durandal; I loved his performance in the-

I hope that Bungie will stretch the essence of a story in this game as far as they can. It makes me wonder how far Bungie wants to go into scripted story beats for this game? Sure, they can add all the codex entries, ARG puzzles, audio logs, everything adjacent to an actual narrative for us to solve

-but I feel like they don't really want to go that route for Marathon. I feel like this will an even more passive narrative than what Destiny was, and I don't think we'll truly get any dedicated content to explore everything they've laid out for us so far. It's a shame because I love-

First off, I'm in love with the aesthetic. Everything about the game's design philosophy is utterly fantastic and I want to see more of it with every moment I get. Gunplay is great, and what I expected from Bungie to accomplish.

I know the menu/UI has received some (rightful) criticism, but I like it for the most part. Now here comes what I fear, and that's how the story is presented, and why it makes me unsure of whether or not I'll be buying it at launch.
