I've been getting new followers every day since the election so I figured I ought to do a bit of an introduction thread. Hiii, my name's Sally! I'm a queer and Jewish video essayist making videos about 40k and other tabletop games. You can find my work below!

people seem really confused about why they decided to do an extremely misanthropic and hate fueled ad for christmas and I need you to understand that it's because misanthropy and a hatred of your fellow man is quite literally at the *core* of AI accelerationist ideology.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

I don't know if it counts as a 'character' but I remember the Craftworld Eldar being the first time the appeal of elves as a fantasy race really clicked with me, and ever since then I've begun gravitating to elves more and more in fantasy settings that have them.

How does that work? How do you find clients? What services do you use to run your business?

I've been writing a Trench Crusade video that I've needed to massively rewrite like three times in the last few months because of how quickly the release cadence of new patches has been recently. So I think I'm just gonna shelve it and make something sillier and more fun.

I've been playing a lot of Vermintide 2 recently so of course my zoomer brainrotted ass had to make a tier list. The list is for all the different careers but I don't think a binary letter grade system is good enough because Vermintide 2 is a very nuanced game.

I feel like I'm in that one scene in the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged series where a bunch of Jews pretended to be Catholic so that they could join in on killing the vampire nazis invading London.

my parents showed me D&D when I was 4 years old and almost as soon as I had the brainpower to I was doing stuff like writing up my own races and classes. And as early as age 7 I was doing stuff like combining bits from different board games to make new games. I was basically doomed.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

I feel like the Herbert Estate is leaving a lot of money on the table by not having a licensed Dune 28mm wargame. Imagine how much money they'd make selling multipart plastic kits for a Dune miniatures game. I know CMON made a strategy board game that has miniatures, but it's not quite the same.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Trench Crusade 1.01 came out and seems to include mostly positive changes though I find it a little puzzling that they further buffed Assault weapons? Now you cannot fire after swinging and retreating from melee unless the gun is Assault. Which is... Like holy shit. Stop buffing Assault Weapons LMAO

The Hawks of Allah are my Iron Sultanate warband in the campaign I'm currently running at my two local game stores. We meet twice a week to play games of Trench Crusade. We're at the halfway checkpoint of the campaign so while I wait for people to catch up, I've been painting my soldiers up.

Got some great work on Trench Crusade minis tonight. Currently playing Iron Sultanate in this campaign, and I've come up with a scheme I really like for them.
In the center is Djamila, my Alchemist with a machine gun who has been my MvP every game so far.
