they’re both blacked out tho]

…liked the motive of an outer world family assuming, to their suprise, the role of the governors of another, important world, like the Atreides in ‚Dune’;

…enjoyed the different perspectives of the storyline and different protagonists’ narrative, like in the ‚A song of ice and fire’ series;

…appreciated the vertical and horizontal construction, literally and metaphorically, of the setting and narrative in ‚Silo’ books/tv series;

…enjoyed the deeper, sometimes even Shakespearean psychology of the characters and the depicted world, the paradoxes and contradictions thereof, as in the ASOIAF tv series;

…enjoy an underlying secret forming the backbone of the storyline, as well as of the depicted world, unrevealed through most of the book, yet a surprising, almost borderline horror, that you might anticipate, but are never sure of until fully revealed, as in e.g. Solaris’;

…are fond of Necromunda and the stories behind it, the different gangs and the pegged ears, the murky corridors and complex relationships between the factions, houses and communities, the levels and layers to a hive world;

…liked Fremen from ‚Dune’, as an obscure, seemingly poor, uneducated and unimportant class/race, yet a necessary element of the narrative, a deeper layer to what seems an obvious identity of the setting and its destiny;

…liked the sort of uneasy ambiance, growing horror, a droplet of sweat on your neck, like e.g. in the first ‚Alien’ movie or said ‚Solaris’;

…prefer having also the ordinary people’s perspective to a world and its direction, rather than solely following heroic personas’ deeds;

…enjoy the mixture or the good and the bad and the thin, sometimes non-existent line between these two (as well as as between the traditional righteous and evil, heroic and clumsy, rich and simple, loyal and cunning, regal and ordinary).

A fine read. An even finer audiobook, with Toby Longworth creating numerous characters and uneasy ambiance with his single yet extraordinarily flexible and creative voice. I do hope this may yet become a trilogy, like e.g. Ravenor and Eisenhorn.

Do operatives’ datacards rotate on your phone screen when using the official app (when you rotate your phone)? Mine don’t atm - and they did in the past.

I have an iPhone 13, app updated, screen rotation on.

Edit: it’s been like this for a while now, but it has crossed my ‚negligible shite’ threshold recently ;)

So many IT smart good guys here- please help kindly.
Cheers for any useful tips!

Playing league match v Sancitifiers soon, haven’t played against them, even when they were super buffed in the beginning - anything I should look into specifically, when I read their rules? Any tricks, alpha etc.? I know there is this sermon thing.

Or the other way round, for the sake of the discussion.

Sanctifiers, while of course neither Inquisition nor daemonic as much, remind me of Eisenhorn’s adventures, which wa such an enjoyable read, esp. the first two books. Hence the Cherubael drawing

Cheers for any useful tips!
