I had so much goddamned fun writing this piece for Defector. Warhammer 40k is fun as hell, and it offers an enormous amount of room for creativity from both fans and the creators working to make media set within the universe.
This is not the official position of Defector Media, but admittedly @patrickwyman.bsky.social makes a compelling case. defector.com/warhammer-40...

Semi-relatedly, let's talk about a *good* movie that warped my poor youthful brain! 1995's _Goldeneye_. It is, I think, the perfect Bond movie? (Maybe just because I saw it first, but still.)
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Terminator 3 is a mediocre action movie and a bucket of ass as a Terminator movie, but damn if it didn't hit my brain like a truck a formative moment.

As embarrassing as it is to say: Muppet Treasure Island. I freaked out when they fell into the cave in the dark and made my dad physically leave the theatre with me. One 10-second scene and I skipped the entire back third of the movie. 😬😅
In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

I would just like to note that the Allies started winning WW2 when they moved from naming their tanks after racist Confederate loser traitors (Stuart, Lee) to naming them after righteous Union winners (Sherman). The British caught on to this earlier, renamed the Lee the Grant, and never looked back.

I based possibly my all-time favorite D&D PC off a line from one of these! ("When no one is looking, half-orc fighter dedicates kills to Gruumsh", if you were curious.)
Hey everyone! I'm so excited to announce this! If you like the D&D 'walkthrough maps' I've done over the years, I'm proud to present my new book... DUNGEONS! ILLUSTRATED MAPS OF CLASSIC DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ADVENTURES, coming from Ten Speed Press on April 27, 2027! (1/4) #dnd #ttrpg

Silly gaming question: examples of games with way better soundtracks than they deserve. Not, like, a good soundtrack on a game yo bounced off of that was a big success - a game that was mid or bad, by consensus, with a solid musical score. My offer: Planetary Annihilation. youtu.be/uwtNikzjKik?...

So, inspired by @jemma.bsky.social's Infinite Lesbian Nunnery bot (@infinite-nunnery.bsky.social), I kinda want to make my own text procgen bot. Stay tuned for details.
(It'd be built with the same tool, bluebotsdonequick.com, which honestly seems like a pretty neat and flexible procgen tool.)

Too much “what trauma made you like this” we need to get back to the true root of every kink: media you saw growing up
