Rest in Power Lance Reddick (1962-2023)

[meggannn]

avad excited to finally ditch the crown to join aloy and leave the sundom, arriving at her mysterious base for his first adventure just to be greeted by a glowing machine that immediately knows his name and entire history, his missing vanguard captain and missing sunhawk, a tenakth marshal from the clan that nearly jeopardized his embassy, the first utaru brave enough to fight the carja in the red raids, and a bizarre person from an advanced imperialist nation across the world all sitting in a lounge archiving apollo and blasting jackson five while aloy is in the corner playing space invaders with one hand and coding hephaestus with the other next to her apparent fucking twin and the asshole who founded the eclipse threat that kept his brother prisoner and nearly ended the world

Boops will survive the Faro Plague. Boops will survive the purging of APOLLO. Boops are eternal and Sylens cannot escape being booped.

The gaia gang (plus the sunhawk) with their starter pokemon

This was the most fun I’ve had in a while!

Would love to hear others’ ideas for gaia gang pokemon

Finally posting the HFW zine piece I did over a year ago. Meant to put it up a couple weeks ago and completely forgot, but it works out because today is Aloy's birthday!

While physical copies of the zine are sold out at this point, leftover merch and PDFs are still available to buy until the 6th here!

This artwork gets the award for longest I've ever spent on a single piece, clocking in at somewhere between 200-300 hours

Thank you, Lance 💙

RIP LANCE REDDICK. (1962-2023)

No matter your fandom, or your first introduction to Lance Reddick - he was an incredibly talented actor, self admitted amateur gamer, loved comedy and was consistently open to new experiences in a way that's impressive.

We weren't ready to lose him, and I hope he's at peace.

Feel free to add more tags and gifs - I haven't even scratched the surface and I'm sure many of us would love to find new places he's waiting for us in cyberspace.

Assorted Horizon 3 thoughts that have been bouncing in my brain:

I hope they take all the time they need on this. We can wait. A 2027 release feels likely given the more or less standard 5-year development cycle for Sony AAA titles.

We’ll have to see how they handle it narratively but at least as a concept Nemesis is a perfect overarching threat for the series and I will die on this hill. It’s more or less an inverse of GAIA and it makes sense to have Aloy and co face down a final embodiment of the failures of the old world. The series is about hope and renewal, but it is also a cautionary tale that is pretty up front with messaging that capitalism and the banal evil of corporate greed will destroy our world and kill us all. It makes sense to me to have Aloy finish Lis’ work by destroying the final specter of that.

On a practical note I’m really curious to see how Aloy and Sylens are going to keep Nemesis from being an immediately world-ending threat. As it is right now there’s nothing stopping it from lobbing asteroids at earth from orbit. There are a few audio logs where Travis Tate mentions the apocalyptic malware that FAS developed, and I wonder if we’ll see that come back.

I’m expecting Nemesis and whatever enemies you face that it creates to look like slightly more eldritch Zenith tech, since that’s what it’s based on.

I hope they just do what Remedy did and cast David Harewood as Sylens, there’s a scene in Alan Wake II where he channels Lance perfectly.

God I hope they take a cue from the Witcher 3 with their map design and have several biomes. I know Ban-Ur, The Claim, and the Great Delta would be a tall order but fuck that would be cool.

Your consolation prize for losing a Strike game shall be this batch of text posts (says the person who still hasn't won a Strike game in HFW; I'd have better luck fighting a Tremortusk with my eyes closed and only the most basic bow at my disposal)

Horizon Text Posts: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4

Happy Birthday Aloy!
