Age of Wonders IV?
youtube
youtube
So Paradox released a couple developer videos for Age of Wonders IV earlier this week, and both are making me salivate. What I'm particularly stoked about his how insanely customizable the races and factions are. In the first video they show how to make a race of frost-orcs, as well as a more Warhammer-flavored dwarf race in the second. And from what it looks like, whether your race is human, elf, goblin, frog, rat, or mole makes no difference beyond aesthetic. If you want to recreate the Frostling faction from the franchise, you just pick a goblin-kin faction and customize them with blue skin, ice magic, and wolf mounts. If you want desert elves or snow-leopard cat-folk, the aesthetics are there. If you want to make a Drow or Duergar faction, that's totally do-able. In fact, given the aesthetics, I think you could make the Norn or Asura or possibly even the Skritt from Guild Wars. I haven't seen much from the undead yet, but I kind of wonder whether something like the Warhammer Tomb-Kings might also be customizable.
I've been a fan of the series since the original Age of Wonders, and everything I see about the latest one has me pretty hyped.

This is Cynnea. She is the supreme wizard queen of all of ratkind, and she is NOT just a mole disguised as a rat.

Video/Computer game music has been a major influence on my life, yet I'm supposed to go through life pretending I care about celebrity musicians' drama? I want to listen Michael van den Bos and Paul Anthony Romero and Hiroki Kikuta and...

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

Dominions 6: Same Great Taste, More Accessible
Don’t play it for the graphics I love fantasy strategy games. I’ve played piles of them. That includes most of the Age of Wonders series, Master of Magic (the original and the new version), Warlock, Fallen Enchantress, Heroes of Might and Magic 1 through 5, and more. But Dominions outshines those games in multiple ways. If you’re already someone who plays the Dominions games, you’ll have heard…

I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"
And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.
Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?
It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.
