While they have definitely improved the storytelling aspect over the past couple decades, i still don't think the 40k universe is any more intriguing than a raygun World of Warcraft. I do love the shite out of my AdMech army (got a decent 1k about 40% painted) and I think the models and fluff for them is a country mile better than most of the universe. But i dunno, the Heresey and all that stuff makes my eyes water with boredom. It's really dense with not a lot of cool payoff. I haven’t played the table top since I was probably 13 years old way back in 2nd addition. I played mostly Eldar and marines. As Mech didn’t exist. Neither did Tau, Necron, dark Eldar, etc. I did play the hell out of the blood bowl 2 video game when I had COVID — that was a fun blast from the past. Chaos is my jam with all the ST 4 players, especially in a league format when you can start getting them skills. I like the 40k novels for light popcorn reading which has kept me in the loop over the years. I just don’t have the time to paint and play board games. The HH books were more about fleshing out the details and bringing some life to the most well known characters IMO. Everyone knew who becomes a traitor, the major events of the war, etc. so the big reveals were more about character development than plot. But to someone who has never heard of the setting, the HH has that space opera potential that Amazon will surely want to try to monetize.

I try to get a session in once a week, I'm terrible at it but it sure is soothing. Blood Bowl 3 comes out Febr and I expect to play the living shite out of it just like I did the 1st 2.

Blood Bowl 3 comes out Febr and I expect to play the living shite out of it just like I did the 1st 2. I don’t think I was ever old enough to enjoy the painting. For me, it was a chore before I could play the actual game. I liked the model building though — the rules were way more relaxed back then, so you could put a lot of different bits together and have it be table top legal which, from my understanding, has been taken away to streamline the rules. There was nothing quite like a terminator captain with a conversion field carrying a vortex grenade teleporting next to an enemy’s leader. 3++ and a 2D6 save, and a 2+ to hit on a grenade that insta-killed everything in a 2 inch radius. "Gee, that’s a nice 400 point commander you have there, it’d be a shame if something happened to him.” Didnt know about BB3. I might pick it up, though I don’t play video games much. That was more of a COVID lockdown thing for me. Definitely fun though.

Finished it last night - solid, but a little hard to follow at times (when they were referencing a character not in the scene) as a lot of the Russian names sounded the same to me.

It's identical interface as Prime. You can either find stuff through the main menu or you can go to that specific channel to find things to stream.

May 15, 20232 yr A little behind on Mrs Maisel, but caught up tonight. Episode 6 of final season is hands down best of series. Suzie makes the show and a really touching ending.
