IM post reunion setlist

This is one of those posts that will be controversial. I would love Maiden to go on tour focused on their post-reunion material. There are a lot of great songs, both classics and underrated gems on BNW and onward. I think those songs let guitar trio shine more than old ones and Bruce voice is more suited to them than to songs he sang when he was younger. I did this potential setlist as a challenge and realised that despite this period being called 'prog maiden' for their longer songs, it's surprisingly easy to make a setlists of nothing but short bangers. I decided to only let 'Iron Maiden' track to get a pass from early days because they play it every gig anyway, but not to let any other song in. Realistically speaking they would add Fear of the Dark to the setlist, but if I allow FotD, then I would allow NotB, then Trooper, then some Blaze era songs and suddenly the entire point is gone.

Trying to keep it at realistic length there are some songs that didn't make the cut. Obviously Empire of the Clouds which would need to be a centerpiece for any setlist and tour it would be included, but also songs like Coming Home, Montsegur or For The Greater Good of God... Tbh for me they could play just Brave New World, Dance of Death and The Final Frontier material and I would be happy, I love those 3 albums in particular

First minies to paint for kids?

Hi, as in topic, I'm looking for a very specific type of game. Game for 2 kids age around 7 with miniatures they can paint and play with. Right now they got into painting with Speedpaint markers and some zombicide zombies, but I'm looking for something than can be their own. In a game they can play and with miniatures being easy enough to paint so they will look good. Zombies mentioned above are giving them a lot of fun, but a lot of details are going missing as their motoric skills are not there yet and it's not a game they can play alone for a few more years ;)

I was thinking about Karak, I think it's age appropiate and it has minis that are cool, and have painting scheme ready. Do you have any similar recommendations?

Feet of Clay in times of AI

So I finished reading Feet Of Clay first time since about 15 years and I am absolutely with love, catching up with a lot more themes and parallels than when I was a teen. I love how golems building their king was compared to lords trying to make their king, because the words in ones head are hard to remove and how the entire thing revolves around themes of ones own identity and self worth.

In today's age I can't help but notice how golems being machines loaded with instructions, taking jobs but making weird mistakes and being considered not alive but actually crossing the border between thing and person can reflect today's struggle with AI models. Putting words in golem head would be call today prompting. The way they are wanted for jobs that in some cases no human would ever want, but in other replacing them for promised efficiency but ending up with a need to fix their mistakes. Stuff like that. And taking that interpretation would mean that at the end AI model would become a person.

While we won't know for sure, I have a gut feeling that if it was written today with this context in mind, sir Terry would take different turn at this story. I'm not trying to force any kind of beliefs on this topic on his art, but just to share my observation, as the meaning of a work of art depends not only on perspective of a creator, but also on perspective of a reader

Fanmade Stickers are so good

As far as I am aware, the consensus around miniatures pack is they look awesome but aren't best for actually playing the game. After all I'm happy I didn't get it because I bought a pack of custom stickers from https://www.pimpmymeeples.pl/ and it's fantastic. Look at this guys! They are so distinct and yet fit so well to the overall visuals of the game. I love how they all have different body shapes despite all being placed on same shape agents.

I am in no way related to the seller, this is not an advertisement, I just drool over how cute the little guys are

EDIT. One important thing to mention. Author confirms that the graphics are handmade WITHOUT use of AI.

As in title. We uploaded our album and singles to almost all streaming platforms avaiable. We consciously left YouTube Music out because of issues with copyrights. Basically we don't want to be taken down if we post our music on our own by YT itself. Vast majority of our streams, followers and income comes from Spotify at the moment. However I see a shift in public that more and more people are moving to YouTube Music. Should we add our music there? Did someone here had similar doubts?

We can also add it to Roblox lmao. I don't know anything about it, how that even works?
