Oh no

Stéphane Picq has passed away. He was 59 years old. I was chatting with him not long ago on Facebook. He still had lots of projects. Very sad...

Had it recorded for a while but finally got around to watching Dune: Part Two this evening. Enjoyable, looks spectacular of course. Still never read the books.

My main criticism of something like this movie, though, especially given it's part two and the overall running time now, is that I don't think it's got the re-watchability of the 1984 David Lynch version. It didn't even have a cameo of Sting in his underpants in it.

@Drwave Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson really disappointed #Dune fans with the prequels and sequels they released.

Almost a book a year? For *five* trilogies? After Brian’s father Frank took 4-7 years between his original four?

Not that Frank was entirely blameless: _Heretics_ and _Chapterhouse_ seemed rushed out in the early 1980s, maybe because of the Lynch film.

We didn’t need a “#Duniverse.”

Dune: Prophesy started the season off as possibly interesting and ended as a certified must watch for me. Just a mess of absolutely, irredeemably horrible people doing terrible things in interesting ways. It lays bare the base ideas of Dune and then turns them into a spectator sport. I am hooked.

I am also now really glad to have Dune: Adventures in the Imperium on my shelf. I really, really want to play it now.

Cryo's Dune excels at using palette manipulation to set the mood. Dune uses 4 palettes for every day (morning, day, dusk, night), and cycles through 32 palettes every 8 days.

Here's the outside of the Atreides palace in all 32 sky palettes. (Hopefully it survives whatever Mastodon does to the image)

The game transitions the palette smoothly but fairly quickly when the time of day changes. That might be worth a video…

I ported my room renderer for Cryo’s Dune to Rust and WASM, clearing up a lot of bugs in the process.

Hover over the image to highlight the different sprites and polygons! Go out on the balcony and change the sky palette!

(Some rooms are blank but that's not a bug.)

My Dune globe renderer is also still available escaping to a hostile desert planet sounds enticing: https://thomas.fach-pedersen.net/dune/globe/

Alternate experiment idea: have someone unfamiliar with Dune read all of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's #Dune books and watch Dune: Prophecy and have them try to reconstruct Frank Herbert's original Dune based on that.

Not sure if the ethics committee would approve this one, though.

Experiment idea: have someone unfamiliar with Dune watch Lynch's Dune, Sci-Fi Channel's Dune miniseries, Villeneuve's Dune and the Jodorowsky's Dune documentary and have them try to summarize #Dune after that and see how close all that combined gets them to the book.

It isn't even good at "what-if"s. Humanity decides to throw away all computers because they suposedly rose up and then reverted to #feudalism for no reason. And then there is totaly-not-magical drugs that give you totaly-not-magical powers. There is about as much science in #Dune as there is #punk in #steampunk.

I think it all comes from the (incorrect) #psychology of the day that thought of us as cognition trying to control an animal id. (Yes, that's Freud. [BTW, best example of this is #Dune “sifting for humans” - Frank Herbert was a psychology major in college.])
The thing is, that's *not* how human decision making works at all. We now know that human decision making is a collection of information processing mechanisms, each of which are best suited for different situations, but none of which are better (or more moral!) than the other.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: The love for beautiful books continues with Children of #Dune from The Folio Society, and I offered sanctuary to two damaged books: Earth's Climate: Past and Future from W.H. Freeman and The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, Volume 23: 1875 from Cambridge University Press

Vibing to the "Dune: Part One" soundtrack again makes me really miss the time I saw it in theaters. I know it's but a void in the other memory compared to the Dolby Cinema experience, but here's yet another way to take in some top-notch Dune vibes:

Well, Dune, by Frank Herbert, has never been so current and so important these days.

"The failure of CHOAM? Quite simple: They ignore the fact that larger commercial powers wait at the edges of their activities, powers that could swallow them the way a slig swallows garbage. This is the true threat of the Scattering—to them and to us all."
