Changing the name of their paintline from Citadel Colour (which it’s been since the beginning, when Citadel was *sort of* a separate company to Games Workshop), to “Warhammer Colour”.
Like Sabbath and Zeppelin and stuff are also very bluesy, and have songs that are clearly blues, but Jimi is like ALL THE WAY blues. It is like full on Robert Johnson or Son House with an amplifier.
41 years old and Jimi Hendrix is finally clicking for me.
The trick is to just ignore rock entirely, and think of it as simply electric blues.
I *hope* it will lead to cagier and smarter political art, and more challenges of the root modes of fascistic and destructive thinking rather than only the overt outcomes and actions.
I wonder how Western art will be changed in the future by the fact that we can no longer afford to believe that exposing political corruption or atrocity stops it, that “light is the best disinfectant”, or that “raising awareness” and “providing representation” is an unalloyed good.
oh god those fucking collins puppets TERRIFIED me as a kid
we forget these things for very good reason :P
hehe. where’s the beef.
I bet GWB still would’ve tried at a pretext for “finishing” Iraq, but yeah Afghanistan probably would’ve been left out of it (though I do remember some friends of mine in ‘99 or so calling for the US / NATO / UN to intervene in Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds, because Taliban Sexist or whatever)
Let it happen for the bit.
Oh and AD&D first edition.
I think of the 80s as, like, post-punk, michael jackson, toy commercial shows, Ghostbusters, TMNT, goth, wood panelling, Back to the Future, Ralph Bakshi, Madonna, floppy discs that were floppy, cigarette smell, the NES, and everyone being really worried about crime in New York.
And the 50s weren’t even THAT long ago. People who were full ass adults in the 50s are still alive!
Fuck off. YOU MAKE OTHER GAMES. And your paints and tools don’t solely get used for GW games!
In this metaphor all the decades are siblings, though. Their parents are Communism and The Bomb.
I guess the 50s and 70s are lucky in how they actually got to *end*.
50s are the responsible oldest child, 60s are the rebellious troublemaker who is secretly the favourite, the 80s are the nerdy straight A computer kid with weird music taste, and the 90s are the mood baby who throws a lot of tantrums and wears threadbare hand-me-downs.
The 70s are really the awkward middle child of the latter 20th century, huh.
It kinda is though? There’s degrees of child abuse. It may not be hitting or molesting or starving them, but it is putting them in completely unnecessary physical danger. It is GROSS negligence. Ignorance is no excuse for it.
I’m more Granny Weatherwax: annoyed that I don’t get to be an evil woman.
you know that proustian thing where a smell, song, or taste transports you back to a memory?
Lately I’ve been getting that with certain colours. Like uncommon ones. Like neon yellow.
It’s time to skip the intro
It’s time to keep things tight
It’s time to abuse the vision
Of the Muppet Show tonight
I mean, I guess it’s “accusative”, but it’s about something I don’t really attach moral value to or whatever. To me it’s like if I’d said “I don’t mean to be rude, but your fly is down”. Like, NBD either way.
ooooh interesting!
If I accidentally put sating varnish on a mini, can I tone down the shine by putting a coat of matte varnish over top of that?
y’all come eat
“aliens under 18 DNI” is chiselled on the probe
I keep getting YouTube ads for a bougie furniture store that’s physical location is LITERALLY like 55 feet from me. It is the weirdest thing.
(wack fol la dee da)
thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived of the view of that fine city
Yup.
