It's "dune" as in a pile of sand, not "Dune" as in the novel.

- swiftcoder 2y agoYeah, I get that, but the mental association is there already, might as well lean into it
- mpalmer 2y agoWow, I've never seen a critique backed solely by word association. I am guessing the artist made exactly what they wanted to.
- swiftcoder 2y agoThe critique and the suggestion I made are not one and the same. The critique is that the design of the pieces are far too similar for this chess set to be comfortable to play. The suggestion is one possible direction in which one could go to rectify the critique (thus the hyphen, and the mention of possible inspiration).
- daotoad 2y agoIs it? Every usage of the word "dune" is capitalized in both the article and the link. I clicked through because I was hoping to see something related to the book or movies, or even the Jodorowsky project that never materialized.
- defrost 2y agoIn article text bodies > the Dune Chess Set is capitalized as that's the product name, eg: our new Honda Accord .. etc. Elsewhere in the article the word is capitalized as it appears in Title Case Headings Or Subheadings In Which Every Word Including Dune Is Capitalized.
