Spoilers for Sonic 3

Watched Sonic 3 with my buddy and watching the heartwarming montage of Maria and Shadow playing in the G.U.N. research base that’s filled with warmth and whimsy with an anxious shadow being reassured by the only real person he’s had a positive relationship with immediately hardcutting to the same place; withered and aged where only the phantoms of those memories remain with a Shadow that is alone, angry, and grieving absolutely floored me with the idea that I was watching an actual good movie instead of just nostalgia bait.

And then Jim Carrey makes out sloppy style with a wrinklier version of himself for like an hour.

I wanna preface that Jim Carrey’s performance was excellent (as usual), “You’re no Maria,” is a good line with good delivery. it’s just that a lot of his scenes with himself have a fair bit of tonal whiplash that I wasn’t into, which is weird since it’s kind of balanced when both Robotniks are separated? Either way, Sonic 3 is still really good, it’s just a 7-8/10 instead of a 9.

Paunch

Secret Level (2024)

The Imperial Fists are probably my favorite out the loyalists, at least thematically speaking.

Maybe it has something to do with my masculine urge to die epically against overwhelming odds but there’s something about Camba Diaz walking up to a bridge, drawing a line in the detritus and heroically declares to the remnants of guardsmen and his own legionaries behind him-that are 200% doomed to die at this choke point-that they’re holding the line that really tickles my brainstem. It’s so goddamn good it makes me want to punch a carnifex with an armed krak grenade in my fist.

Not one step backwards.

Not live service, FromSoft Rougelike. My excitement has dampened, but it’s different enough that I’ll probably try it.

Oh damn, FromSoft revealed the next dlc already? Sick I can’t wait to-IS THAT THE NAMELESS KING

Yeah you can fuck right off Namco

Upon closer inspection this is not a dlc, it is in fact a separate game, and I’m hoping with all of my heart that this is not a FromSoft live service game.

Oh damn, FromSoft revealed the next dlc already? Sick I can’t wait to-IS THAT THE NAMELESS KING

Feeling a World Eaters mood recently have some zerkers

Also finished reading Angron: The Red Angel and its really interesting reading the perspectives of: a renegade actively seeking the butchers nails in pursuit of a strength he believes they will give, a warlord actively wrestling his legion back into coherence (power to him honestly, Kossolax can get it.), and finally a true champion of Khorne who is completely broken to an almost comical extent.

And Angron. Angron. Angry Ron is such an elemental force of murder and hatred that he literally cracks a planet open. The book acknowledges both his suffering and his faults as a father, while giving him this air of a mythical beast. Angron is not a character in this book, rather a thing that happens to everyone else. I love it.

Oh yeah also the grey knights are there too I guess. :\

I should read Betrayer again.

Real sad that GW doesn’t actually sell this model anymore. It’s a really good mini and it’s such a shame that I’ve only found it through third party scalpers on eBay. Maybe some other people can get lucky through other 3rd parties

Reading Angron: The Red Angel and I’m obsessed with the idea of 5 berzerkers standing in a circle drawing straws, cuz none of them wanna deal with their fucking psycho even by their standards leader.

I’ll have more minis posted soon

Probably.

3 more deathshroud, finally time to start on plague marines, maybe one of the vehicles, I’ll figure it out

I love how wide the Lord of Virulence is in comparison to the other terminators. Dude is stanced up.

Another thing I didn’t really mention in my last post about DG was how organic Chris Wraight’s word choice is in Lords of Silence. Besides the people and the astartes and Solace itself being obvious exceptions, pretty much everything has some descriptor like it’s a living, breathing thing. Organs and guts and intent. It’s really cool.

Anyway here’s the deathshroud. Also I will force you to read my thoughts on chaos books as I’m reading while posting minis. Sorry, not sorry.
