The death of physical media seems like a small thing practically but in essence it represents the total dissolution of games as “objects of art” and instead reduces them purely to “intellectual property”. It’s a slow disaster but if you care about games as an art form it IS a disaster.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Suraj has a point.

several years ago during the worst covid times I found myself playing 4 or 5 games a day where I was just logging in to do the daily quests and losing an hour+ of my life to games that were good, fun, but compelling me to play them out of habit. I uninstalled all of them and felt better.

I think it’s really important that when a game goes from fun daily tasks to actively becoming a chore to you that that’s when it’s time to drop those games And for me, Star Rail and ZZZ have definitely reached that point so I’m going to stop playing them now, cause I’m not enjoying them anymore

Sin and Punishment (2000)

It's kind of awesome looking back at these again, 'cause I can see the splashes, the speedpaint overflowing in a few parts, where I didn't have the rust wash mix as thin as I wanted, so on and so forth... but you zoom out and oh yeah, army.

The best thing I did this year is by far not a single thing, but an army. These Death Guard were an absolutely insane labour and I'm glad to have smashed through my self-inflicted target, and if nothing else, I hope they go to show how even the simplest stuff scaled across an *army* will look great.

Computers were a mistake

My crusade ancient conversion I like the official model and how it adapts a general marine role to the way black templars work, but I already had a bladeguard ancient body spare, and making the giant crusade shield seemed like it'd be fun

frame and pose test for scorch, still a lot of rough temporary assembly, but I'd say it's good enough to go ahead with and start the serious building now
