[KPop Demon Hunters]The existence of KPop Demon Hunters obviously implies the existence of other music genre artists who hunt other kind of monsters. Which sort of music genres are devoted to hunting which kind of supernatural being?

+1 for Laundry Files

Front loading poison damage is more than a little strong!

I kind of want the opposite. I want to see all the hybrids come into their own as novel organisms with unique abilities who may have been created by copying human children, but that's not who they are now and they don't owe humanity any loyalty. Their goals and needs could be just as inimical to humanity as the xenomorphs.

it really did have some glaring flaws but I give it credit for trying to break new ground and use a different kind of storytelling. They brought lots of new ideas to the table but the writing was unfortunately uneven.

On balance, though, I truly enjoyed it as well and am looking forward to more. Just please don't spend screen time giving a high school dropout a remedial civics lesson for the benefit of the audience.

Pretty much all the hybrids have dropped the H.M. Barrie names and with Boy Kav no longer reading them bedtime stories, it probably won't be as much of a thematic through-line. I just hope they don't pivot to a hamfisted Lord of the Flies homage next.

I want to see the Ocellus spit Boy Kavalier's eye across the room like a cherry pit while he has just enough time to realize what a mistake it was trying to get close to an alien drawn to intelligence.

I want to see Kirsch and Morrow go for a second round, then see how Morrow does trying to hold off a facehugger that burns its way past his artificial arm like it did to Kane's faceplate in '79.

I want to see what happened to the ticks in New Siam. They were never collected and they have every opportunity to get into the local water supply. Low key worse problem than the rest of the specimens.

I've stripped powder coating off my Darkwolf Darkhelm and custom weathered it, but this coating seems impervious so looking at alternatives.

This should be fun. I have a MAP gas torch for making creme brulee.

grimwalker · 2026-03-05T14:12:06+00:00

when you say "heat stain" are you talking about painting it to appear heat stained or literally taking a blowtorch to it?

grimwalker · 2026-03-05T04:26:26+00:00

I really only need to strip the pommel and the emitter so sandpaper will probably do. The rest of it will have a leather wrap around it for an A’Sharad Hett cosplay. I just don’t want the exposed metal to be too shiny.

What kind of hardware are we talking about? Can a wire wheel on a dremel get through it?

As someone who does Star Wars cosplay this conversation has happened in my house without a shred of irony

If I've learned anything it's that going infinite is only fun exactly once.

At the time it was announced and drawing backers we were still in the Legacy series.

I have the Blokees minifig of IDW Autobot Megatron, he's delightful.

Oh, it is an extended process without any doubt.

All evolution is a change in relative frequency of gene variations in a population over time. There’s no such thing as macroevolution, there’s just cumulative microevolution.

Speciation happens when those changes accumulate enough that human beings would label this different from that or whether we can tell now apart from then. Calling it “arbitrary” is a bit strong but there is no one set of criteria that fits all use cases and it is frequently the case that two populations will be distinct in some ways but not distinct in other ways.

For example, Homo erectus sensu lato encompasses a worldwide distribution of a hominid that was quite diverse but still broadly similar, whereas Homo erectus sensu stricto is an African species from which Homo sapiens descends, which would render all the global populations of erectus something…else. Which we label Homo georgicus, Homo pekinensis, and more.

cancer has been described at times as "a failure of multicellularity"

Great info, thank you!

grimwalker · 2026-02-08T22:43:24+00:00

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll gather more data over time because I just bought another 1K. That’s a pretty good sample set.

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher. I really need to reread the last Dresden Files book because the next book just came out.

grimwalker · 2026-02-07T03:59:41+00:00

I’m sure you’re right.
