“CONAN HOLDS YOUR PRIVACY SACRED Our encampment processes personal data, wielding the power as cautiously as Conan wields his sword. Should you wish to cover your footsteps and forbid us from sharing your secrets, strike at the 'I wish to cloak my presence' rune. I WISH TO CLOAK MY PRESENCE”

Anything in particular happened?
It’s exhausting how much people complain and nitpick about *everything* these days. Like you say, thought is important to criticism.
My rule is if most of their output is books on how to write rather than things they've got published its probably not worth it.
Art tutorials are similar. Lot of people being very confident without much to back it up.
Thinking of the Trashfuture bit about Kier Starmer trying to talk like he's in Guy Ritchie film.

Robbed by not including a Brasso minifig
front cover art for Knock's folklore bestiary, OSR version. it shows a trio of adventurers facing a tentacled monster which coils around the edges of the frame, bristling with eyes and pincers. the adventurers - a hooded rogue, a burly knight, and a short, haunted-looking wizard all group togehter, looking daunted.
ink drawing of a figure stabbed through the back by a sword. the sword is in red ink, the figure in black. the figure has a wizened, anguised face, and wears a shaggy cape and hood made from ragged reeds. they have long-nailed hands moving as if to clutch at the blade run through them.
An illustrated map, bisecting several interwoven grass basket buildings clinging to the side of a tree. Small animals like rodents, shrews and hedgehogs bustle around a busy market and show ground, while larger animals like birds peer in through skylights above. Smaller floral chambers are attached to the main hall, overflowing with wild flowers and each occupied by a colourful pageant competing butterfly.
a page of black and white illustrations showing multiple artefacts and depictions of tombs and burials of many kinds, including a bog body, terracotta warriors, an air burial and an ossuary.

Ah yes, Geoff Jones’ Hyborian Age pitch
I remember going to a stand up show and got picked by the comedian to say what my favourite Transformer was. Said I didn't know much about it but I liked Springer and he just said "You know enough to know who Springer is"
I think it helps by format it’s got a natural place for the characters to grow into so doesn’t feel the need to retread old ground.
Apart from one in Revenge of the Sith that sounds like a Californian surfer.
Smaller universities employ thousands, sell products to customers across the world and export British soft power. They are successful businesses, often bringing wealth to our poorer communities. Why does the government want to stop that? Why aren't more MPs fighting for them?
"Of all the characters from Legends she is definitely one of them."
Pixar execs: We need to cater more to boys stories and experiences!
Pixar artists: Okay here’s Strange World, Elio and Luca
Pixar Executive: No, not like that
