Paul rings his local radio station to request a song:

Paul "Uh yeah, could you guys please play Africa by Toto? And can I say something while I'm on here?"

Radio host "Sure go ahead."

Paul "Yeah I just want to give a big Shadout to my Mapes! Respect."

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the swordmaster school on Ganaz, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Arrakis, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in fedaykin warfare and I'm the top lasgun sniper in the entire Sardaukar army. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this empire, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over a holo-vid? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of prescient sweepers across the galaxy and your no-ship is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, slig. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Salusa Secundus Sardaukar army and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the universe, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

It's a pretty decent film and makes me realize why they casted him Timothée Chalamet Paul.


He really captures the sense of vulnerability that can be believably transform into a stone cold killer.

I played the new reissue the other day (my tenth or eleventh playthrough) and, while there are a few tweaks I'm not fond of and the art is ugly as hell, it's still the best boardgame ever made.

Yeah, this is incredibly pro click for anyone who's played less than 10 games. My friend also sent me a podcast about nerds arguing over Twilight Imperium, but they've just started a branch out series of episodes about Dune. I can link it here if anyone's interested.

Also, if there are people who want to know what the basics of the Dune Boardgame are without having to watch an hours long stream here is a great primer video.

I'm getting through Chapterhouse and am I little confused about something. Why did the Rabbi's daughter Rebecca go through the agony but not get any ancestral memories from it? Does the agony do anything else?

Also Chapterhouse is way better than Heretics and I still hate Duncan Idaho.

When Jessica goes through the agony, she receives the memories from Ramallo - so presumably Other Memory involves literally passing memories from one Reverend Mother to a Bene Gesserit who then becomes a Reverend Mother as she receives the lives of her benefactor and all those who the benefactor inherited from her benefactor, and so on and so forth.

Since Rebecca didn't receive any memories from a Reverend Mother during the agony, she presumably doesn't have access to Other Memory?

EDIT: It's also heavily implied that Reverend Mothers can stretch their lives for as long as they like, but that they avoid doing it in all but the most extreme situations - ie. when they have to wait to pass on their memories to a new Reverend Mother, as Ramallo presumably did.

Isn't it explicit? Like isn't there a conversation in Children where they straight up talk about how Alia is planning to live forever with her Bene-Gesserit training and like Jessica or Irulian tell her that she can't cause it would cause everyone to turn on the Bene-Gesserit?

I finally finished God-Emperor last night after taking a long break - it started to drag on so I left it about a hundred pages from the end, but man, does a lot of crazy poo poo happen in those last few pages. Duncan's climb making Nayla bust a nut, Leto falling into the water, dying and apparently restarting the sandtrout cycle from his remains, Duncan furiously lasgunning Nayla into a pile of gore, etc. It was a good read. Super weird. Now to find copies of Heretics and Chapterhouse.

I was half-remembering something that I think is from when Paul II talks with Bene Gesserit, but yeah you're absolutely right.
