I like that in Dune hunter-seekers are little smart devices used to attack suddenly and efficiently. And Warhammer said "What if they were impossibly strong missiles"

more Warhammer parallels

- someone gets given a knife and really fucks things up for everyone

- the Guild ships bringing the Bene Gesserit to Arrakis kind of feels like the Emperor spreading the Imperial Truth. Both result in Whoops! We did a religion

with all that ends up being lost in the far-flung futures in science fiction, its interesting that Catholicism persists

listen i'm a warhammer guy and so I'm going to start a record of where GW stole things from dune

-an ai uprising but its done now and ai is a religious offence (men of iron)
-something you put your hand in to feel pain but reach in enlightenment (rogal dorn's magic pain glove)
-people with almost ordinary names
-implied inbreeding

doing this will alienate everyone but will entertain me (chill psykers is weird tho)

i just don't think he's that hot

I'm never agreeing to anything ever again

I wonder if these two 14-year-old war veterans who are best friends but have differing ideas on their goals in life will ever have a falling out.

also everyone in this book talks like they are 46. including the 8-year-olds.
