of course they do. Still find it funny that the one dude being gay is a big deal and is never even addressed in one of the later dunes. Herbert had a few issues.

Big sad twitter posts about Waypoint this morning. When I was into being a poly-queer city-dwelling gamer-intellegencia, they were there to validate me, to soothe me, to say so many words into a microphone for me. Hope they land on their feet wherever they go.

I checked out some of The Jeff Gerstman Show recently. Listening to him recite the date and review energy drinks makes me feel at peace, like going home. He's still doing it. I see Dan Ryckert tweets every now and again. I hope Vinney Caravella is found happiness being #dadgoals incarnate.

This morning I listening to TruAnon talking about how every city is exactly the same and why. It's p cool wearing my hometown hoodie for casual Friday

There are considerably more good Warhammer novels than there are good Dune novels. It's a stronger franchise, in literary terms.

Most or all will find a place somewhere, the main mourning is about a web space that wasn't on The Big 3 disappearing. Yes they can all get patreons\ko-fis\etc, make videos on youtube\twitch and dump their long worded posting on Cohost\Substack, but it wouldn't be a magazine-type space or all consolidated into a website you could go to see all of that in one space, and having places online where its not just "Is Game Good or Bad" was always a positive.
