the recent discussion made me go look at his wiki page and i found this gem:

"In a 1995 interview with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Pratchett expressed concern about the potential spread of misinformation online. He felt that there was a "kind of parity of esteem of information" on the internet, and gave the example of holocaust denial being presented on the same terms as peer-reviewed research, with no easy way to gauge reliability. Gates disagreed, saying that online authorities would index and check facts and sources in a much more sophisticated way than in print. The interview was rediscovered in 2019, and seen by Pratchett's biographer as prescient of fake news"

sadly, no one is perfect:

"He described The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) as his favorite video game in a 2009 interview and stated that he used many of its non-combat-oriented fan-made mods.[80] Pratchett wrote dialogue for an Oblivion mod which added a Nord companion named Vilja. He also worked on a similar mod for its sequel The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011) which featured Vilja's great-great-granddaughter."

Wow he liked the one western RPG game series with lore that isn't just D&D garbo.

Didn’t they get #cancelled for releasing a new game that was literally about glorifying abusers? I read the thread about it on SA and what I saw of it seemed to confirm it.

Beast, yeah. The dude whow rote it turned out to be an abuser and got fired and now everyone wants to forget that ever happened.

I guess the thing with Star Wars / Warhammer novels is the demo. They want what they want, and that sure as hell isn’t a challenge. You can dress it up with genre, make it horror or crime, play with noir or westerns, but ultimately there’s a ceiling to what you’re presenting them with, even beyond being limited to the setting and not loving around with canon too much.

Still, from the author’s point of view, it seems like guaranteed pay cheques for not very much work, so again, loving that up because you’re addicted to twitter seems like a mistake.

Warhammer doesn't occupy the hallowed place in the nerd pantheon that Star Wars does. The entire thing with GW was a way to plop you into a heavy metal grimdark perilous setting and make your own dudes with which you can battle other dudes.

this was the only thing in the movie worth watching. still not 100% sure Gal Gadot actually speaks English, based on her acting. the effects were bad, Jenkins can't direct action to save her life, they played sinister music when Wiig was confronting her would-be rapist, just a complete mess from top to bottom without even getting to the story

I feel like Marvel's new publicity strategy has switched from generating buzz from culture war controversies to having creators just say how much the content sucks. The Thor CGI jokes by Taika Waititi feels similar.
