I have to say I like this one

kde can still look like that too:
i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been
i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out
[^1]: this is conjecture, i haven't done any studies
(in my humblest of opinions lemmy is fundamentally flawed on conceptual, technical, and environmental levels)
but i did see some of your posts and enjoyed them (and also found and followed your tumblr somehow) – do you want me to add you as a mod of !imaginarywarhammer? (i sort of inherited it when the original mod went a.w.o.l., so it seems fitting to add someone else now i’m doing so)
how disappointing
i might send something to their support email address - it's unlikely to affect anything, but it's possible

Hi Ɀeus, thank you for the heads up,
We are aware of the issue and our tech team is investigating. We hope to have this fixed very soon.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any other comments or questions and I'll be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Irene
more hopeful than i was expecting, but still not that hopeful

i love everything ralph mcquarrie has done. for those who don't know, he did most of the star wars concept art, but he's also done his own pieces too. i have seen unreliable sources claim that this is an early bespin or coruscant concept, but take that with a pinch of salt

okay i really need to branch out from space marines, i am posting nothing but space marines...
Showing some love for Imperial titan and space marine enthusiast. I really like the appeal of giant robots with churches on top of it. It is just wild. That is why I really like Warhammer.

it's cool to see two ships meeting at an oblique angle! normally in space they just conveniently happen to align with each other

I decided to try my hand at doing a planet. Turned out okay! Not 100% happy with how all of the surface detail looks but overall I'm pretty satisfied still.
"In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."
Mars, fourth from Sol. Birthplace of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the secretive priesthood that regulates the distribution and use of technology in Imperial space.
The Red Planet was the first of forge worlds, established by the nascent machine cult to safeguard technology and knowledge through the long millenia of the Age of Strife. Ever since Mars has been the strategic and economical center of the tech-priests' operations, supplying innumerable weapons, vehicles and equipment to the ravenous war machine that is the Imperium of Man.
The planet is ringed by great shipyards that labour endlessly to maintain and reinforce the Imperium's fleets and, in towering hive-factories that rise up as iron mountains through the lethally polluted atmosphere, billions of menials, enginseers and technomancers do their holy work to research, assemble and repurpose ancient tech-lore for use in this new, darker age.

now to me this looks quite a bit older than 2000; but that's what isfdb says, and who am i to argue?

honestly this is a part of why i basically stopped using lemmy a few months back
(i think it's partly what put martineski off too, although i don't want to speak for him)
not my own comments, but i noticed more and more comments being downvoted for daring to say something controversial. i remember back before we had to have the "this is not a disagree button" hover text on reddit, now we don't even have that
