"Nothing could halt Leviathan’s encroachment on the Red Scar. After Cryptus there was Baal, home world of the Blood Angels, lying directly in the swarm’s path.
This was not accidental.
The sages of the Imperium thought the hive mind a non-sentient intelligence. They believed the actions of the myriad creatures in its swarms were performed instinctively, and that the sheer numbers of interactions between them gave rise to complex behaviour. At the very highest level these behaviours were remarkable, but only had the semblance of thought. Ultimately instinct drove the hive fleets, they said, not free will. Similar false intelligences had been witnessed so very many times in social animals across space, after all, from the ants of ancient Earth to the thought-trees of Demarea. The hive mind’s actions could be ascribed to sentient consideration, but the sages insisted they were nothing of the sort.
The biologans held the hive mind to be only a complicated animal, a supreme predator driven by a devastatingly powerful reactive mind, nevertheless devoid of soul. It was an automaton, they said. Unfeeling. It was as unaware of what it did as the wind is unaware of the cliff whose face it scours away, grain by grain. The hive mind was biological mechanics writ large. Mind from mindlessness.
The Imperial scholars were wrong. The hive mind knew. The hive mind thought, it felt, it hated and it desired. Its emotions were unutterably alien, cocktails of feeling not even the subtle aeldari might decipher. Its emotions were oceans to the puddles of a man’s feelings. They were inconceivable to humanity, for they were too big to perceive.
The hive mind looked out of its innumerable eyes towards the dull red star of Baal. It apprehended that this was the hive of the warriors that had hurt it so grievously, who had burned its feeding grounds and scattered its fleets. It hated the red prey, and it coveted them. Tasting their exotic genomes it had seen potential for new and terrible war beasts.
And so it drew its plans, and it set in motion its trillion trillion bodies towards the consumption of the creatures in red metal, so that their secrets might be plundered, and reemployed in the sating of the hive mind’s endless hunger. This was deliberate, considered, and done in malice.
The hive mind was aware, and it desired vengeance."

"Fifty yards away was the largest hive tyrant Dante had ever seen. Upon backward-hinged legs it stood taller than a Dreadnought. Red spore clouds pumped from the chimneys on its high back. Bonded to its fists were four matched boneswords, with heavy ends as square and brutal as cleavers. He had heard of this thing, the galaxy’s bane, the hive mind personified.
Commander Dante faced the Swarm Lord.
His perception coalesced around the monster. Reality reasserted itself, his visions driven off by the sheer physicality of the hive mind. The past gave way to the present. The sounds of battle returned, albeit muted. The horde was broken into pieces. The howling of his blood-mad warriors was scattered, so isolated there could only have been a few of them left.
In the monster’s eyes glimmered an ancient and powerful intellect. As old as he was, Dante felt like a newborn babe compared to the intelligence staring at him through that unblinking gaze. He sensed that there were two beings looking at him. The monster, and the being that controlled it. They were separate, yet one. A sense of crushing psychic might emanated from it, so great its grasp encompassed galaxies. There was sophistication there, and terrifying intelligence, but all were outweighed by its ­bottomless, eternal hunger.
For the moment that the man and the monster stared into one another’s souls, Dante pitied it. The hunger of the hive mind made the Red Thirst trivial by comparison.
A rumble sounded in the monster’s throat. Muscle fibres exposed by gaps in its chitinous armour contracted; that was all the warning Dante received. There was no threat display, no roar to intimidate, it simply hurled itself into the attack. The hive mind was nothing if not efficient."

Been putting a few hours into Breath of the Wild and I've been playing it just like every other open world game. Run around, unlocking parts of the map with the high towers, collecting things, maxing out stats, cleaning up different towns so that I'll have a solid way of getting around and almost completely forgetting about the story until I'm more often than not hilariously overpowered for the large part of it. Was really close to pulling out the Master Sword before I even had a chance to take down one of the Divine Beasts. Whenever someone asks me for help, I'll just hang onto that quest until I happen to stumble upon whatever I need to complete it.

So far, I like the Zora the best. The prince is charismatic as hell too, even if he's a little slow with grasping the sitation. The situation with Mipha is/was cute as well. I found myself thinking "this is nice" when I unlocked a memory involving her and Link.

If there's something that constantly feels off to me, it's the controls. Mostly because they're going against what I've been doing for over a decade. Oh and screw the motion controls during shrine puzzles. I hated guiding a ball through a maze when I was a kid and I don't really like it now either. I simply turned the entire board to cheat the thing.

I can't say anything about the weapon damage system that hasn't already been said a hundred times already. I badly want the Master Sword because of it, since I know that thing regenerates.

Before I go off on another rambling session, happy b-day, Dark. Hope another year means something to you.

I saw the tail end of that in Ventura. At a friend's house for birthday and walked outside after washing my hands to see the cloud of whatever that is next to the moon. It was gigantic. Then my friends pointed out that you could still see the glow from the engines in the south and I saw it in the faint distance. Can't believe I missed it by a minute.

Can anyone recommend a game for Nintendo Switch that isn't Mario/Zelda? BotW is solid, but I want some variation so that I don't get burned out on it.

Christmas Eve is nearly over. This family time is going well at least. Have to fly back the day after tomorrow, which is going to be interesting, but I'm eating heartily and experiencing 33% of my usual stress, which is just lovely.
