    BG3 is unbelievable. Renews and honors the earlier ones in a way I didn't think was possible these days. Someone paid close attention to the charm, locales, deep-ass DnD mechanics, clunky inventory sub-game and constant near-death clutch combat. Maybe looks a tad too polished and colorful (the Shpongled Underdark in particular) but the scale of it all is mind-boggling. Have only scratched the surface at 50 hrs in but I absolutely love it. I'm doing a wonky try-everything Drow Rogue/Fighter thing, and playing rogue means depending on sneak attacks long before I'm in conversation range. That leads to all sorts of strange consequences story-wise, not to mention my taste for bad choices like experimental surgery, brainworms and unholy necromancy. The barrel-hoarding and stuff-throwing mini-game has some serious nuance to it.

    Dune

    Part 2 was really good. Picked up the pacing right away, maybe too fast towards the end to get all that through the gate. Kinda bummed pt 3 won't be anytime soon, maybe if it does really well at the box office it will grease the gears. I preferred the quieter bits without the score, especially as there wasn't really anything new from the first part. Imagine The Dark Knight with the Batman Begins score... The sandworm sequence got so loud that the speakers in the theater started clipping, what a bummer.

    Not a fan of subs and obligations, but I guess we're well due to return a bit of cash for the sanctuary and timesink this dinosaur of a site turned out to be. Can I get a gold star and some fancy emojis? Really want to rub it in on the plebeians.

    Benn has consistently delivered truth bullets on the matter and how horrific it actually is. In regard to unsolicited bot streams, this happened to me on SC and my only guess is that they want random stream targets in order to obfuscate who they're paid to benefit. I looked up the bots' listening history and it was a consistent few dozen thousand plays on every artist. So the blunt-force response is to remove every artist associated with the bots.

    I made these with Bing's Dall-E 3, I'm pretty sure the exact prompt was "Frank Herbert's Dune movie from 1940, black and white, film still". Hit reset a few times and grabbed the ones I liked. Varying the prompts and trying to get more control came after that attempt. Dall-E doesn't really have a great amount of control, but it responds well to additional short suggestions and then hoping it's not a copyright-related blind spot. Hergés Lord of The Rings turned out awful.

    That's sort of the point, the times have changed and the demands of film production are incompatible with a good vs evil space romp. There are too many demographics to consider, some of which have expectations filtered through childhood memories while the rest would be bored to death by classic SW. What feels modern in terms of character tropes and story arcs has become too convoluted, while special effects (practical or CGI) as a central component of film making have overstayed their welcome. We have these billion dollar extravagant CGI monsters and everytime you watch one, it's like they don't have a point. It doesn't help that all the botched SW attempts of 25 years are canon and would likely prevent any meaningful reinterpretation.
