A friend recently brought over his Legions minis that he's been working on and we played a skirmish match.

The image linked is the setup from some time mid-game.

The matchup was Republic Clone Troopers (him) vs. CIS Droid Troopers (me). The Droids took it in the end, mostly due to General Grievous being an absolute truck.

I found the game a lot of fun to play. We've played a bunch of Fantasy Flight's games - Runewars, X-wing, and Imperial Assault among them - and I'm starting to recognize a lot of common mechanics among their games. This was was relatively snappy and I enjoyed the command/activation mechanic.

Minis and terrain were painted by my friend, who is a much better painter than me, lol. I was really blown away by the ship in the center of the play area, which he kitbashed from this Zurg Mothership toy from the Lightyear movie:

I have no idea whether that would be possible, but I'm also not sure I would want to do it. It would be one thing to encourage folks to move but I don't own that subreddit (I'm not even the founder or the head mod, just the only one that actively moderates) and I wouldn't want to grab other folks' posts and comments and put them elsewhere.

Yeah it's an idea for sure. I responded to @curiosityLynx a minute ago that I'm really burnt out on that particular series so I think it's probably time for me to find somebody else to take it on and just move on myself.

I've considered it, but honestly I'm kind of tired of it lol. It's an older series and so all of the arguments/discussions are just kind of retread endlessly, and I'm not as into it as I used to be. Also there are discussions about making a tv show and I wouldn't mind being as far away as possible once that kicks into high gear. I saw what r/WoT was like when that show came out and I don't want any part of moderating that crap.

I don't disagree with you, but I still feel a certain responsibility to that community. I'd like to start divesting myself of that responsibility, but it'll take time if I don't want to just abandon it.

Somebody posted this website today where you can explore/search for Lemmy instances and communities. It seems pretty nice but I haven't really used it a ton yet.

There's one already on the backend repo that is tagged as far-future, it doesn't seem like a priority for the main devs but they've said that if somebody else wanted to work on it then it's a possibility.

I'm probably going to delete my account or at least cut back drastically on my usage, but I'm currently the only active mod for a small fan sub for an old fantasy book series. I don't really want to leave that sub unmoderated but I'll have to find another user willing to take on mod duties before I feel alright abandoning Reddit altogether.

Hi, we're trying to keep discussion of the Reddit situation in our Megathread whenever possible, to cut down on too much of !Technology's feed being dominated by Reddit news. We'd love for you to post this as a top level comment there.

 

Saw these guys live a few weeks ago opening for Thrice and really liked their vibe. I've been really enjoying digging into their discog since then.

 

Hey, just noticed that the help button next to the post sort options on the front page leads to a bad URL. It links to

when it should link to
