Joe Chill posted:Apparently the Dune board game is coming back after being out of print in english since the 80s.  because of one paragraph from the original announcement:"Gale Force 9 Dune Announcement [PDF posted:"] Which makes me nervous for the movie too, because those shitheels poison everything they touch. Also, it's Gale Force 9 in combination with Modiphius and both are essentially an unknown to me. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Apr 15, 2019 |

Yeah that's the one. Sorry, I linked to the wrong article. And yikes, that sounds awful. I'm hoping for just a remake of the original, not with all the @duneauthor poo poo.

He loves Dune and just likes that there are more books and doesn't really distinguish between the two. He's also 65 and a pretty uncritical reader. His other books are mostly crap mil-fiction.

Who the gently caress is Ian McEwan? It's that he outed himself as being someone to not listen to at all, on any matter, but still. I mean jesus christ, like the earliest Sci-fi stories are about blurring the line between man and machine

MikeJF posted:I miss Iain M Banks and Iain Banks. Both excellent writers of the Iain Banks school. Cause to be honest, it was hard to tell which of his books weren't set in the Culture, even contemporary ones. That's part of why the Culture is such a cool idea. Sometimes I picture Horza Gobuchul fighting religious fanatics on a frozen moon at the same time that mentally ill kid is building death totems on the skerries of Scotland.

MikeJF posted:Hell, the most important founding story of science fiction as a genre is widely held to be Frankenstein. The word "robot" was coined by the 1921 Czech play "Rossum's Universal Robots," and even THEN the plot was "we made mass-produced artificial slave laborers, wait oh gently caress they have feelings and want rights and are rebelling."
