Quote from article:
In addition to our diverse oversight, proofreading, and playtesting team, we pay a cultural consultant, Kate Edwards of Geogrify, to review all our products for any unintended harm our games might cause to people of different cultures and backgrounds around the world, and when she noticed two conquistadors among the historical figures selected by Mihir and Francesco, she flagged the following concern for each of them, saying, “His conquest and his treatment of indigenous people has since cast him as more of a villain of history.” Her recommendation in its entirety was, “Be careful to not paint Cortes/Pizarro in too positive of light, as someone who brought wine grapes to the Western Hemisphere. If he did play an instrumental role, try to not emphasize his role too highly.” There was no recommendation to remove the conquistador characters, though in hindsight I should not have needed someone–even an expert–for me to realize this now-obvious solution.​

I feel like playing Cthulhu wars tonight and particularly fucking with South America now. Maybe I'll play King in Yellow and extra desecrate the land...

reminds me of the time five tribes changed the slaver card, because humans "are not a product to be traded for in a boardgame" or some other retarded reason.

Why go that far and get darkies, just call the local Epstein in Hollywood to pick up your free white loli slave. Oh right, the people making this shit love Hollywood despite all of the rape and other shit.

While his videos are sometimes entertaining and undeniably provide helpful advice and tips, especially for people who are just getting into the hobby, I have always thought there was something off about Guy from Midwinter Minis. There's just something about the man that makes him seem deeply unlikable - he just seems sort of smug and all too pleased with himself and his 'nicey-nicey' persona strikes me as really insincere and slimy. It doesn't help that he reeks of Mummy and Daddy's money, even before all the Patreon cucksbucks are factored into the equation.

I think it was his pathetic attempt to try and get Henry Cavill to play Warhammer with him that changed my opinion from finding him somewhat annoying to actively disliking him. That shit was fucking embarrassing and came off as really manipulative. "Hey, internationally known and recognised star of multibillion dollar Hollywood movies, I am some fuck with a YouTube channel, do you want to play Warhammer with me, please? It'll be great! We'll do it for charidee, so it's fine if you refuse, it just clearly means you hate sick children.

I can't say I'm especially fond of his missus, Penny, either. Whenever she pops up in his videos, she seems an insufferable whinging Scottish harridan. I rather suspect Guy forced her to be a part of his YouTube videos to be honest - most likely as an attempt to seem more 'normal'. "You think Warhammer's for creepy nerdy men? Ha ha, don't be silly. I'm Guy from Midwinter Minis and I'm non-threateningly nice, largely well groomed and even have a real life girlfriend!"

She expresses no interest or knowledge of the hobby, and a lot of the time, is quite openly contemptuous and disrespectful of her husband's manchildy interest in stupid overpriced plastic soldiers. To be fair to her, I suppose, she is a doctor, so she actually works for a living doing something useful, while her spouse twats around with nerd shit on YouTube as his full time job.

Looks like Middleclass Minis and his awful Scottish girlfriend have split up. Interesting timing, too, given that he mentions in this video that he's just 'employed' this new tart, Hatty, having apparently slid into her DMs nine months ago.


Nine months ago, when Penny would have been pregnant with their twins.

I think Penny didn't like warhammer so unless she comes out with shit about him doing shit to her and his kids, I think it'll be wait and see.

"I know this may come as a shock".
To who? He looks like a fat cherub, comes across as a wanker, and she always sounded like she was being held hostage on all their videos.

"I'm sorry Guy, but your GW paypigging is tearing us apart."
He's probably just sad that he lost his cute "penny for a guy" couple thing.

The last time I brought this up, someone said that you can't have a comics list because you go crazy and eat each other like the rats in that one experiment? Something about fighting over capeshit?
Sounds like the real problem here is weak mods and raiders setting up shop as gatekeepers. If you can have a manga section you can have a comics section. I don't mean to sound patronising or abusive but god damn, you need a patron, and some abuse.
OK, I will give you something to work from, I did the same for ate-chan /co/ when their suggested reading list was FUCKED. I can do the same for more genres, including a cape list that isn't shit. If you go all Event Horizon after that, it's on you.

[large list omitted for brevity of my post]

Prediction: Bumpfag will periodically bring in normal, /co/ approved, /co/rn syrup. Beanface styles, lesbianism, flat bright colors, so on and so on. He will not feel inspired to broaden his horizons, he will act as an unpaid shill for disney and netflix. It will be very obvious and the moderators will censor the justified complaining.

It will look something like this, this, or this.

Their whole relationship was always weird to me as an outsider looking in. They had zero chemistry. At least with Snipe and Wib - another Warhammer couple, who are still cringe, albeit in an entirely different way - you got the feeling that they at least liked eachother and had a solid friendship (even if I do suspect that Wib might be getting a little bit tired of Snipe's they/she nonbinary LARP).

Looking back at their past videos, a part of me's wondering if maybe it wasn't this new Hatty woman, maybe it was Dana Howl's stubby little shecock Guy was sharking for on the downlow.


I feel a bit bad for Penny. Imagine your husband leaving you and your two new babies for a fat tranny in a cancer wig.

I'm ready for it to crash because he's almost certainly working with the card raters to scam retards into this and then dumping. He's also gotten scammed before too.

Sure, they don't reprint ad nauseum like Yu-Gi-Oh does, but fuck off on this.

To be fair, there are investment instruments tht let you buy a fractional interest in Art and Sports Cards. You can also buy into funds that have a mix of these fractional shares.
To tl;dr - as the 'oh this shit is valuable!' fad of 80s/90s gave way to internet kids generally not giving a shit about sports cards, they were again sold in smaller quantities and often tossed. This means that they are scarce again, and are again useful as value markers because they are rare and difficult to duplicate.

At least the rare cards physically exist, look reasonably good, and have something resembling a purpose. I still can't find a good reason for anyone to want to buy an AI-generated JPEG of a chimp.

You aren't even buying the JPEG of a chimp. You are buying a link to a URL on server that has a Chimp JPG. That server could go offline and all you'd have is a dead link. In most cases someone else can also mint an NFT that has the same link embedded in it.
NFTs are for retards and money launderers.
