They just made Space Marine 2. Great campaign and the most immersive Warhammer 40k game yet imo. As far as the look and feel of the world they really didn't miss once. 40k is an old IP with A LOT of details and to just consistently nail those details is really a Herculean feat.

The gameplay loop isn't exactly my cup of tea but it isn't bad.

I don't know who else I would pick to do this project tbh.

Didn't see what community I was in when I read the post and thought there were just a lot of people here who hate stand up comedians doing crowd work

What kind of bed do you have? If your bed isn't flat this can happen as well. I scrapped a magnetic PEI sheet because it was never gonna be flat enough for a whole smooth first layer for me

From a far enough view point anything can be "simple". Anyone who has ever had to design, build, or program something for a client can tell you that what is "simple" in concept can be very complex to execute.

Life happens to everyone and finding ways to fit in "doing the thing every day" can become a very complex problem.

There is nothing simple about "keep doing it every day". There are so many reasons not to and it's up to you and you alone to find the reason or the will to "keep doing it every day."

In my experience, waiting for the carrot on the stick is much more likely to result in the whip

There haven't been any changes to etch a sketch in decades. It's already great...

...or maybe just the etch a sketch R&D department really aren't the brightest bunch out there.

The US is pretty big man and things are different in different regions. England is only as big as Alabama.

In the cities you can walk to places or take much more limited public transportation.

Every one outside of the city has a car though. Drive through banks, fast food, pharmacies, and even liquor stores are a real thing.

My commute to work is ~40 minute drive and some of that is at 129 kph.

I rarely walk anywhere for anything besides pleasure. There is a restaurant within ~10 minutes walk but most roads don't even have sidewalks here and people don't always pay attention while driving

Another vote for Horus Rising. They're also in audiobook format. Just keep in mind the Horus Heresy time period is 10k years before current 40k so it's kinda WH 30k and there is not a lot of xenos/alien content in there.

Almost anything by Dan Abnett is gold. I would put Chris Wraight in a very close second place and Aaron Dempski Bowden (ADB) in a close third. There are other good authors too John French and Graham McNeil.

Good standalone stories set in current 40k are also Armageddon, Dante, Blades of Damocles, And Lords of Silence (Chaos Space Marines)

Gaunt's Ghosts is a great series about the Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum

Eisenhorn is a good Inquisitor series written like James Bond books.

Ciaphas Cain is for some lighthearted fun in a grimdark universe

Third panel references the female Australian breakdancer from the Olympics that became a meme for her hilariously awful routine.

This is incredible.
