dude

im scared to have my headphones too loud and someone out there is doing that shit

[visual stream]

Just quickplaying
I think farming twins also gives decent materials, could be wrong though

[carmine lance]

yeah, it's bad

[lapis cave]

Yeah, quickplay at the highest difficulty you can reliably win, since you get more resources for each bump up in difficulty to auric. Avoid mortis.

You also get better quality item rewards from higher difficulties you can dismantle for a nice little bump in resource gain.

[viral tendon]

No more slowmode in genchat

[queen yoke]

i still think we should've sacrificed hank to get slowmode removed faster

[lapis cave]

Otherwise being efficient with spending, and only upgrade/power up weapons that will actually get used until you have so much lying around you can't spend it all.

Also, don't power up non-perfect rolls. You'll just end up spending all those resources all over again once you get one.

[visual stream]

Wouldn't it be the opposite

[viral tendon]

@plush estuary question for you.

What are the numbers behind why Rampage is recommended for RB? Does it hit new break points at full stack? Or is it just to improve unpowered effectiveness more than anything else?

I wanna understand what I'm giving up by taking heatsink

[plush estuary]

improves unpowered horde clear, and with power on it being able to hit through armor triggers it making it clearing armor hordes faster

[visual stream]

It also just plays well into what the weapon primarily does

[plush estuary]

because you proc it then use the damage buff to single target a crusher

[visual stream]

Which is mulch everything it touches in large swathes

[plush estuary]

and RB has so many sweeping attacks

really easy to activate

he says things and prefers to make noises but can say some phrases like "good morning" or "Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of neurons and synapses in wafer thin layers that fill my bird mind. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."

There's one single building here that's like very old London with all the stonework n shit and literally every pigeon in town congregates there

At least horses existed as they were and still are relatively

Pigeons were bred specifically for our purposes IIRC

Meaning we fucked them out of their natural functions and then let them be

[drowsy steppe]

yes but only if you recruit him 1st. He's flexible on what you wanna specialize him towards

[visual stream]

One time in my freshman year of high school there was a dance event and we were doing the macarena in a big block and I started in the back but every time we did a move the block rotated so I kept ending up in the front but I was really socially anxious and bad at dancing at the time so I still didn't know how to do the macarena so I kept ending up in the front and then scurrying off to another side and then scurrying again when I was in the front again.
also a girl with BPD but I'm pretty sure I'm over it by now

The macarena haunts me more and that was like 10 years ago vs. 2-3

[drowsy steppe]

you know I get that, I used to have social anxiety like that too 😭 I hate being the center of even the slightest bit of attention

[hexed igloo]

im still the same way lmao

Was it like

being on computer?

Why was I so unsocial?

Why did I talk to no one?

[hexed igloo]

i got trapped under a motorbike in a fence for about 8 minutes, electric pulse every 2 seconds, wire was jammed behind my knee

[glossy nimbus]

Im not like getting sad or depressed I'm just pondering

[visual stream]

People used to randomly vent to me, whether trauma or drama

[visual stream]

Jfc

[hexed igloo]

im lucky to be honest with you if the fence had 3 wires instead of 2 itd probably have just killed me, and i missed being scalped by the top wire by millimeters

fence also saved me from the bike just completely rolling over me and breaking all my shit, because it was on a steep hill

[heady rapids]

wow holy shit man

[full nebula]

i got shocked once because i accidently touched an electric fence while squeezing on narrow path while fishing

i had a metal worm box that had a belt attachment, shit burned my skin a bit lol

[heady rapids]

my biggest trauma is probably getting my face bit by a dog

[full nebula]

that was only for a few seconds

[heady rapids]

only got a small scar that's almost gone now

[glossy nimbus]

I was just very unsure how to approach people in my classroom, and kind of resented everyone. They were really loud.

[drowsy steppe]

holy shit

thats really horrible to go through

[full nebula]

i mean if we're just talking about injuries ive crashed multiple atvs and broken a few things

[hexed igloo]

i dont really like dogs because i feel like every single dog i met before the age of 18 just fucking bit me

[full nebula]

bad owners

[heady rapids]

im fine around dogs actually

[glossy nimbus]

Broke no bones cuz I dont go outside gang

[heady rapids]

the only thing that like

[hexed igloo]

im cool with specific dogs, like if theyre small mfs i dont really mind em, and im fine with big dogs as long as theyre fluffy

wildly uncomfortable around the like shorthaired big dogs

[full nebula]

i got bit by dogs multiple times as a kid, because you know shitty dipshit fuckhead owners

[hexed igloo]

i crashed easily upward of 30 times lmao, farm work and allat, most of the time you stand up and stomp around for a few seconds and just keep working

fucked my leg up by sliding over onto it twice, once on tarmac, once on gravel

still got a couple bits of gravel in my knee

[full nebula]

my last atv wreck was like 10-11 years ago, wrist go snap

good thing it wasnt my mouse hand

[hexed igloo]

never crashed an atv

[full nebula]

i wrecked probably 5-7 times through the years

[hexed igloo]

only 2 wheel bikes for me

[full nebula]

thats not as bad in some senarios, worse because you're going faster but not as much weight to literally squash the life out of you

though they do still be heavy traveling fast

[hexed igloo]

it was usually a bigass Kawasaki Stockman bike, weighed something like 80kg it was a heavy motherfucker

that was the cunt on top of me in that fence

[full nebula]

yep, a lot of weight

all of the ones i crashed were like 600-700lbs utility atvs

thankfully i got lucky and didn't have any land on me too badly, never got under the rack or anything to get my ribcage crushed

[hexed igloo]

you mean a quad bike or the like fuckass buggy thing with the carry tray on the back

one of these things

[full nebula]

similar to these

side by sides are dangerous af too, really bad about flipping

[hexed igloo]

oh yeah we had one of those bad boys i was pretty good on it

could drift it like nothin

[full nebula]

if it has 2wheel drive yeah its not hard to do, honestly kind of an issue lol

prone to flipping

[hexed igloo]

yeah some temp worker tried to pull it round a corner like i did and they flipped it

unharmed somehow

[full nebula]

you're lucky if you just get tossed off lol

[hexed igloo]

speaking of these things just remembered now, jumped off the side of one and slipped, got my foot run over

but like not the normal way

foot was sideways so it like crunched it together

went over very slowly too lmao

[full nebula]

of course, never quickly

[hexed igloo]

miraculously i dont think anything broke but i couldnt walk for a few days

[full nebula]

I had a foot experience on one of those too lol. You can see how the foot rest is, ours were standard instead of automatics, so there was a shifter on one side, and the thing was old so it didnt have a full foot rest and your foot kinda hung down under the shifter a bit. I was driving and i had just a bit of my foot down where the shifter was, and as i was driving a rock hit the front of my foot and squished it against the foot rest lol

[hexed igloo]

ough

[full nebula]

doing like 20 mph, thankfully it just kinda glanced off instead of crushing my foot beyond recognition lol

definitely could barely walk for a month or so, nothing broken somehow

[hexed igloo]

working on a farm is insane cos you get so lucky so many times

and when you dont get lucky its a permanent injury

[full nebula]

or worse

[heady rapids]

y'all ever think that there's like

that didnt get so lucky

[frosty herald]

What the fuck.

[hexed igloo]

i got no issue with bikers in general, as long as youre not brain damaged and ride safely theres no issue, it just hinges on the drivers around you not having a vendetta for no reason

lane filtering is not only legal but encouraged

its stupid to be doing it full speed on the highway though

but once again ride sensibly and safely and theres no issue

[hard nexus]

me

[visual stream]

Depends on where you are, yeah cutting lanes is fine but the people who do it flying around at the mercy of everyone else who could have possibly had plans to merge lanes or turn deserve the crash that they're eventually going to get into

[hexed igloo]

driving stupidly doesnt mean you deserve to die imo

[visual stream]

True but I like talking shit on stupid people

Is there any good tricks or things I might be overlooking on how to deal with bulwarks as zealot with relic blade other than using my chorus to open it up

[violet hornet]

not sure if it still works but getting really close and push attacking used to go right through the shield

Otherwise I just wait for swing and use sprint thrust stab or heavy 1 on head

[carmine lance]

You gotta bait them and dodge

That leaves them exposed

Or idk use stunstorm grenades

[elfin axle]

Got it!

I use blinders on hivescum to deal with them, mainly out of convenience

[carmine lance]

As much as I enjoy 40k, I kinda prefer fantasy

The genocidal nature of the imperium pisses me off after enough time

[elfin axle]

I just sometimes get bit bored by grimdark aspect of Imperium

And how it really challenges my suspension of disbelief about how it's so brutally oppressive

fantasy has actual "good" in it

[carmine lance]

Fucking bring back Felix and I’ll be happy

Felix deserved to have made it into aos

[solar gorge]

they iced fantasy at the same time they released the 2 best fantasy if not warhammer as a whole games ever made

[obsidian prairie]

I think Felix got Reforged

[carmine lance]

Idc if it’s as a sigmarine I just need felix back

[obsidian prairie]

It'd be weird if he wasn't

[carmine lance]

I want it to be confirmed damnit

[solar gorge]

he's in a stormcast somewhere and gotrek is still looking so far iirc

[carmine lance]

I want him to reunite with gotrek

[solar gorge]

sumfink like that

[visual stream]

Favorite LL?

[carmine lance]

I need it to happen sooner rather than later smh

I read up to beast slayer, need to get started on the thanquol books

[visual stream]

If it makes you feel better, this is almost the entire reason the Imperium struggles constantly

Chaos cults spread like wildfire because people are constantly seeking something better than their shit hole

[solar gorge]

my old pfp before the DR chatper3&4 release was Karl Franz smiling

[visual stream]

Oh yeah

Forgot about that

[solar gorge]

smh

[elfin axle]

Absolutely, and it's a big part of the setting, but it's kinda like- It gets old. It's like having a book that revolves around this 'glass of water is about to fall off the table.' for entire series at a time, but despite earthquakes hitting the house, the table being broken, or home invaders, that 'glass of water teetering precariously over the edge never actually fall."

Also just hard to really be sympathetic to imperium for it!

[solar gorge]

you can still find sympathy on the individual level at least

[heady rapids]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/titanfall/s/ByMQMycp0J

[elfin axle]

Of course there's demons from hell and the entire old discourse in 40K that happens every so often going, "Going IMperium is just as bad as literal demons from hell that wants to destroy you is dumb." kind of stuff haha so I don't want to start that back up.

This is what I would run for Relic blade + IJ personally

[elfin axle]

Am I missing out on durability or something with this? Or is it just more refined and leans better into what it does?

I just take Chorus because I like to play support sometimes in bad situations with allies

[violet hornet]

You could take chorus with it I just like FotF personally

[drowsy steppe]

the lore surrounding the Stormcast Eternals is so tragically good

[elfin axle]

Valid!

[drowsy steppe]

and Sigmar chooses people based on how potentially heroic they are and thats cool

[elfin axle]

And but yeah Imperium is just something that's kinda built up on oppressing/being a cruel regime and the idea of narrative that might softly imply, or been emphasized by the fans being "This is necessary to beat back evil.' just never held water with me I think!

[violet hornet]

Many chorus builds use piety and a more crit centric weapon for cdr

[solar gorge]

yeah they're very cool despite the whole fantasy marine look they got

[obsidian prairie]

Nothing the imperium does is necessary and they never say that

The people in the imperium do

[elfin axle]

Allow me to edit it, I misspoke

[obsidian prairie]

But thats because they're ultra brainwashed

[drowsy steppe]

all the problem the Imperium has is self inflicted

[elfin axle]

I more or less refer to some fans or intepretations that kinda leans into it which unfortunately I see bit frequently!

[visual stream]

Agreeable
I think the thing of the eternal "glass falling" edging is just because glasses are actually constantly falling and being picked back up all across the Imperium
The Imperium's collapse, if it ever happened (it won't), will be a slow, whimpering descent unless something truly huge happened to collapse a ton of trade routes, void resources, etc., such as the webway going bye bye

[elfin axle]

Aye that's a far more interesting theme.

[elfin axle]

For sure, and allow me to be charitable to 40K

Because I do like it, I play DT.

[obsidian prairie]

The emperor dying would end it very quickly

[solar gorge]

40k will be eternally falling aslong as it's profitable for GW

[elfin axle]

It's hard to write this, because concept of numbers or distance is hard for human mind to comprehend.

That's a big benefit of Fantasy vs 40K

[obsidian prairie]

Because no astronomicon + terra gets exploded + new chaos god

[solar gorge]

fantasy was like this too before it lost traction and had to be axed

ofc 40k will never go out of favour to that point

[elfin axle]

"A big incursion of chaos has assaulted solar segmentium." and players or fans might go "Oh. I guess that's big, dunno it's warp travel and they can show up anywhere with that to my knowledge."

[carmine lance]

I will admit they’re a lot more interesting than space marines

[elfin axle]

But in Fantasy, the difference between Chaos army incursion assaulting Praag, or assaulting Middenheim or Altdorf is big difference and fans understand how important those events are because we can grasp the scales involved.

[carmine lance]

As much as I riff on them

[solar gorge]

that's just gw lol, fantasy numbers are also giga dogshit

they have close to 0 consistency

[elfin axle]

Imperial city in the Empire falling to chaos armies is far more tangible compared to say, "We lost entire systems of planets."

[carmine lance]

That’s one of the issues I have with 40k vs fantasy, sense of scale

[elfin axle]

And most people just go, "Right, but we probably just got 30 more systems claimed/lost at same time, that's a tiny drop in the bucket. Why should we care about any of this territorial loss or gain unless it's on massive scale."

[drowsy steppe]

AoS has really interesting ideas and factions

[elfin axle]

Which again, there's no easy way to fix it, the scale is just massive, I don't envy GW writers!

[drowsy steppe]

like technologically advanced dwarfs that runs a meritocracy

[carmine lance]

Karl franz smiling is literally my pfp for online courses

[solar gorge]

based

like yeah, fantasy numbers also sucked major ass

Altdorf is supposed to have a population of 65k

[visual stream]

See: webway going bye bye

Funny how he's the win con but also the lose con

[solar gorge]

and then u'll get some shit like

the "chaos forces numbered in the millions"

[carmine lance]

Personally I strongly dislike chorus because I can not be asked to put that much faith in teammates

Book is a bit of a “jesus take the wheel” ability because you can’t do much more than stare shit down

[elfin axle]

I also admit that Emperor is a figure I just feel like, is fundamentally terrible being, I understand he's a complex entity and is meant to be more than mere human and that a big part is his flaws or arrogance causing downfall and stuff!

[heady rapids]

yeah well you see they got nurglings mixed in with that and they are pretty small

[visual stream]

Yeah, I think it's even harder when there's seemingly not a single official map of every single Imperium-owned world, or even SYSTEM

Which like, I guess fair

[carmine lance]

Millions of chaos warriors is bullshit tbh

[violet hornet]

the havoc experience: spend 10 minutes putting together a team, it loads for 4 minutes and the xbox player quits, the game crashes, and you load back into the mourningstar alone with a deployment attempt used

[heady rapids]

bro they don't even know what year it is

[carmine lance]

Hundred thousands? I could believe

[visual stream]

But it would be a lot more compelling if they just made a fucking map and retconned it whenever theu needed to

[carmine lance]

Millions is no

[heady rapids]

@solar gorge look at this

[elfin axle]

But the way things has been written, lot of his decisions and motives just strikes me as just... being that is responsible for lot of the galaxy's present problems and evils.

[heady rapids]

he's playing without us

[solar gorge]

no actually when pressed on that issue, the writers themselves said that they will spawn as many people as they want to in order to fullfill what they want

[violet hornet]

Just to clarify the match never actually loaded, we were just on the loading screen for 4-5 mins before it threw an error and returned to mourningstar

[elfin axle]

But I likely don't know enough about the lore or stuff

[heady rapids]

nah this is divine justice

[drowsy steppe]

because he is

his mindset of Im always right is what lead to the imperium as it is now

once again Sigmar is the GOAT

[carmine lance]

YEAH

[solar gorge]

nabady wanna play games with me

i was about to go sleep anyway

[carmine lance]

Oh yeah really quick because we briefly mentioned total war earlier

[heady rapids]

yeah me too

maybe tomrow....

[visual stream]

Today, I will dress and treat myself like a deity, while having deity-like powers
And then get angry and explode an entire planet for seeing me as a deity

[elfin axle]

Aye, again it's just a character in a setting that is meant to be grimdark so there's like, lot of backtreading and awkward contextualization that has lot of characterization fall flat on his face but he just strikes me as someone that if I was in Imperium, knew all of the information as is, I'd probably want to beat him with a hammer as a civilian

[visual stream]

Like does he KNOW that putting a literal halo and shining yellow aura on yourself isn't mandatory???

[heady rapids]

yeah well idk he can think you out of existence

so idk about the last part

[elfin axle]

I said want

Not can

[carmine lance]

I find it really funny that while playing skaven in immortal empires, i did the rite that spawns a special hero, sent them IMMEDIATELY to altdorf, and set up an under empire, and am now just fucking siphoning funds from them

[heady rapids]

ehh fair enoughhhhhh but still the psychic things exist

I wouldn't wanna do anything with him considering literal miracles exist

[carmine lance]

Do you think the emperor will ever find all 40,000 warhammers

[elfin axle]

Though if someone is capable of educating me

[carmine lance]

I hope he does

[heady rapids]

go away bad thoughts I don't wanna manifest anything

[elfin axle]

Why did he need to do 'Great Crusade' why was there always implicit timer of "We need to get as much stuff done as fast as possible."

[heady rapids]

that's the salamanders subplot

"Giant rats are stealing from us in our sewers? Well that's a weird way to put it but yeah there are rats down there I suppose"

You’re not even wrong lmao

[visual stream]

What is a "skaven"

[carmine lance]

Iunno

[heady rapids]

skavens don't exist you silly

[elfin axle]

Because like he is styled as a character that is going "I must do this to avert great evil or do anything it takes to reach the destination, only I can make the hard choices and stuff regardless of the cost."

[gaunt roost]

chat talking about twwh3 when i just started playing the game today woah

[carmine lance]

Tbf I’m surprised they’re kept a secret when they launched a whole fucking attack on altdorf in skavenslayer

Like how do you cover that

Like city wide, mind you

[elfin axle]

But I don't know why there was pressure for him to do that.

[glossy nimbus]

played w 3 arbritrators

all of them died.

[carmine lance]

Yurp

[obsidian prairie]

They also blew up Ubersriek

[plucky sparrow]

we're they sleeping?

[visual stream]

I still don't get why they covered up skavens existing in the first place

[obsidian prairie]

And helmgart

[elfin axle]

Okay so I can kind answer this

[heady rapids]

him knowing about the chaos gods probably affects that reasoning

[glossy nimbus]

I had to kill a plague ogyrn by myself

[visual stream]

What disadvantage does knowing about them bring

[heady rapids]

hard to say

[obsidian prairie]

Fear

I guess

[plucky sparrow]

the only reason ive heard for covering it up is, there are bajillions of skaven under you at any given moment, if they suddenly KNEW you know, they would just up and attack the entire empire and you'd be fucked
basically delaying the inevitable

[heady rapids]

if you saw a giant rat rn would you wanna believe that it's real

[visual stream]

This would be valid if all of the other things that exist in that world, didn't exist

[obsidian prairie]

Yeah but they're like

Far away

[elfin axle]

Fundamentally, skaven are intensely paranoid, and has lot of networks of spies in Eshin, Skaven is also extremely prone to infighting. These combination of things makes it that if skaven is aware of large Empire of human that knows of their existence, they'd be far more pliable to assaulting and trying to overrun/kill because again, they're paranoid starscream bastard society. But if they think they don't have to worry about Empire rooting them out, they're more prone to trying to stab their rival clans instead.

[obsidian prairie]

Not under your feet

[elfin axle]

Biggest reason unconditionally given for lot of Skaven immense number, strength and technology when it comes to question of 'WHy haven't they conquered the entire world already?" Is sincerely just...

They fight each other more than they fight anything else.

And I honestly can believe it.

They are very self defeating kind of evil faction when you don't give them a reason to unify or mobilize against other factions unless they have goals in question/prompted to.

[visual stream]

That's a fair reason

But still

[elfin axle]

That and also just uhhh

mass panic in Empire

[heady rapids]

there are no skaven

Fire mage -> Rat = empire-wide food supply

Chuds in Warhammer slowly but surely getting rooted out hopefully /s

That's cool!

[drowsy steppe]

theyre annoying yep

[scenic folio]

I hope they all flock to Space King and never come back

Space King is perfect for htem

as Flashgitz made it

They can go there and never come back

[elfin axle]

Aye I remember when I was working in a warehouse last month as a part time thing, and I spoke to a co-worker that's bit nerdy and fun but bit awkward. And Warhammer came up, he mentioned not being too into hobby recently and I thought that was fair.

After all there was lot of price hikes recently I think

[visual stream]

Me when the Cadian leader of the squad is a strong black woman

[elfin axle]

And also just... anti consumer behavior, plus pay cuts and stuff for lot of the local areas with the expense models. But it turns out those were not the reason

He brought up the Custodes as the reason

[drowsy steppe]

oh no

[elfin axle]

I went, "Oh god," internally, not sure if I had enough fortitude to slowly deworm this guy of the chud reactionary streak in 40K

[visual stream]

Do NOT ask me why I care so much about skin color or gender in a setting that has no reason or track record of restricting either
I do not have an answer, either because my neurons misfire or because what I say will get me banned

[scenic folio]

Guys guys, I just want a realistic game, I don't actually care about gender or skin color

[elfin axle]

Ultimately he was just someone that struck me as just sorta following into reactionary anger or circle jerk because nerds can be deeply insular with lore changes

[scenic folio]

I just want a realistic game where all the minorities are hidden away from me

clearly

That's realistic!

[visual stream]

"I don't care, just don't do it in front of me/don't shove it down my throat"

[glossy nimbus]

I wanna see da reddit post doh

[drowsy steppe]

chuds would hate me when they know my skin color

Im brown

[elfin axle]

So when lore changes, and when they're told that it's changed because of evil wokeness pervading all of the politics or 'catering' corpo fuckery. Which is just kinda- "You have a right to be icked by corpos, but that's for entirely wrong reasons."

[drowsy steppe]

its always this too 😭

yea I know youre black you mentioned before

[scenic folio]

Minority: Exists

"YOU ARE SHOWING IT DOWN MY THROAT!"

[elfin axle]

Either way I managed to kinda divert him by going "I mean, narratively it makes sense, and it doesn't change much in the setting except add more freedom to it."

[drowsy steppe]

unfortunately youre a DEI hire in Warhammer space Missus 😔

[elfin axle]

Because this is a game that came out in 1980s by (And I don't mean this in derrogatory fashion but affectionate) bunch of white british nerds in basements.

[drowsy steppe]

and all the baggage that comes from it

pygmies

[gaunt roost]

should i play skaven once i finish the tutorial

[elfin axle]

There's lot of implicit assumptions, decisions, and stuff that reflected their thought processes without it being deliberate at the time. They didn't make space marines incapable of being women because they hated women. They just look at a cop/soldier parody warrior monk in rogue trader and go "I imagine a dude." because again, cultural notions and stuff. that's part of why representation is sorta pushed in media a lot to challenge old notions or assumptions.

[glossy nimbus]

If only DEI was as "bad" as culture war fuckers says it is.

It actually primarily benefits white women more. Who are still minorities. but still. it's greatly ineffective towards making any real change.

[scenic folio]

Warhammer being filled with chuds is the funniest shit ever because 9 times out of 10 they're American.

And Warhammer was made by like you said, British dudes

I feel like they would implode if they grasped that their hobby was made by us filthy Europeans

[elfin axle]

They don't care about Europeans honestly and I say this as American

[glossy nimbus]

See like, if wokeness were actually taking over the world

[elfin axle]

They kinda discriminate off colors, not actual ethicity

[glossy nimbus]

that would be so awesome.

[scenic folio]

From what I've gathered American chuds hate Europeans because we are all commies due to free healthcare

[glossy nimbus]

I WISH it were all real man

[carmine lance]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but the idea is that knowing they exist, and doing anything about it, suddenly gives them a target to rally against. The main thing stopping them from doing anything is the constant infighting. So why stop that?

[visual stream]

If wokeness was taking over the world, you wouldn't be hearing about it supposedly happening because any educated and critically-thinking individual who is honest is woke and wouldn't care

[elfin axle]

There isn't a "We're racist against italians but germans are cool.' kind of nuances because America doesn't really have a specific culture or had time to differentiate. So there's not a lot in common with lot of people other than 'they're white, and american' demographically, at least with the chuds that are generally white themselves.

[copper hawk]

There was

Mostly imported

There are slurs for every caucazoid under the sun

[drowsy steppe]

also there was originally female space marines early in 40K history

[copper hawk]

Lots for the Irish and Italians

[elfin axle]

Fair I do mean in modern era it's not really a prevelant distinction in USA for it in modern era.

[drowsy steppe]

but GW stopped their production simply because the female models dont sell well

also the female models looked god awful 💀

[elfin axle]

Oh that's absolutely that's fair, I should correct myself saying in modern america

[visual stream]

The world that we missed out on...

[hexed igloo]

We've got a slur for everything these days

[copper hawk]

It's ok my irish ancestors all became cops so they became absorbed into the racist ruling class

[drowsy steppe]

no wonder the female models dont sell

[scenic folio]

I also like how it seems like most WH chuds don't know shit about WH, like I am super new I just play Darktide, I never read any books yeah? But even I know that Sisters of Battle exist and shit like that

there are clearly strong women in WH

Like they just know Space Marines

[hexed igloo]

Slur? I think you'll find I pronounced it quite clearly

[scenic folio]

that's it

Space Marine this Astartes that, that's ALL they know.

[deft badge]

I'm from America and have been called the dirtiest kind of white before. Some people do care what flavor you are.

[scenic folio]

They probably think if they existed in the 40k universe they'd be an Astartes which is hilarious

because an overweight gamer isn't gonna be an Astartes

[hexed igloo]

I know of the existence of a fair amount of 40k shit but the lore? Not a clue

I know the sisters exist and the salamanders n shit but why? Beats me

[visual stream]

Okay but Sisters of Battle have snatched waists and hourglass proportions with HUUUUGEE GONZOOKAS with breastplate armor that accentuates their boobs while also having adornments where the nipples would be with equally gargantuan butts so like

[drowsy steppe]

aaah the good guys

this is the world that chuds wants to live in

[elfin axle]

Either way Custodes being men and women is good change as I mentioned to my coworker because generally. Narrative and sorta vibe is that Custodes are basically demi-gods made in perfection by their creators in devotion and martial ability by Emperor. So having it being only men makes this weird gap or question of. "So... is it saying implicitly that women is incapable of achieving devotion or martial mastery or is capable of achieving pinnacle of human being. that the ideal vision for Emperor mankind is just perma sausage party dudes as a species?"

[scenic folio]

Wait what? That's cringe.

[visual stream]

They're kind of doomed to be victims of chud consumption than actual representations of strong women

[hexed igloo]

Arbitrator calling the heretics "block-fodder" sounds like a slur

[visual stream]

At least in most art works that I see them

[elfin axle]

It's not deliberate, it's a carry over of decisions that was just not thought through and had lot of lore built to justify it, as opposed to just changing to reflect it.

[trail mantle]

fan art maybe

a few offical

mostly older ones are like that

[hexed igloo]

God forbid a gamer like big titty bitches

[elfin axle]

The Sister of Battle was actually something that my co-worker brought up as "They're disfranchising them by adding femcustodes."

[drowsy steppe]

also female custodes was planned for a long time. Its only recently that GW finally made the lore about it

[drowsy steppe]

thats why I like Stormcast eternals

fantasy space marines but a much cooler recruitment process

[elfin axle]

By that line of thought- does Astartes disfranchise guardsmen?

Or tempestuous scion?

[drowsy steppe]

and also a more tragic cycle of life and death too

[trail mantle]

this is the sisters we get now

Plus there seems to be lack of nuances with understanding idea of factions can be sex-specific. There is good examples of it narratively.

It just happens that Custodes don't have a really good reason for it

sexism in display

it doesnt make se- stfu

[hexed igloo]

I personally like it when I can play as an attractive woman

[elfin axle]

Sisters of Battle has a reason, it is a specificly a lore element in their background it was a bit of word play/to get around regulations about being allowed to have 'men at arms' which is bit silly but 40K is silly, and it being kinda built into the organization that being devout women organization to emperor's name and the culture around it is part of its identity. Again maybe not that well built up.

It was pretty good I'm not gonna goon over the mere existence of an ass though

[carmine lance]

I admit, I almost got swept up in that and I’m so glad I recognized what was going on. Initially I was thinking “wouldn’t that detract from the sisters of silence?” Now my take is just “alright that’s neat, just don’t be fucking lazy about it and say they were always there. If it’s such a notable thing, idk i feel you could give it a little more effort”

[elfin axle]

Because the emphasis on clone creation is uniformity, lack of distinction and identity, it's not because "Oh we don't like women' but "We want to make a mass produced copy of soldiers that is lacking individuality to die for our cause. virtually identical in every way possible genetic template" And that personalities and names that developed out of clones in Clone Wars and other shows is subverting in that.

[heady rapids]

nah they got a lot of faulty ones

[wheat matrix]

personally! my issue with femstodes wasn't that they exist, it's that they tried to sneak it in there and just go "oh no they've always been a thing"

Just tends to be how GW do stuff honestly, like what they did for I think uhhh Leman Russ tanks.

[wheat matrix]

as for them existing? cool, doesn't bother me, or effect me

[sterile stone]

I don't speak elevator floors

[wheat matrix]

they had what, like two mentions in the codex and they're the only female named custodes we've had?

[hexed igloo]

It's kinda incomprehensible I don't really pay attention to story most of the time, I liked it from a gameplay point though

[elfin axle]

It'd be weirder and more disruptive to lore for them to go, "Actually we just changed what we did and allowed women to become custodes."

[opal girder]

15 more missions and I’m done with zealot penances. I can almost see the end of the tunnel

[elfin axle]

That'd create more problems so I suppose the main question is, "How should have they done it?"

[hexed igloo]

Sorry I forgot, you only speak to men my bad

[hearty nebula]

i feel bad for yoko taro though he's been trying to get a new game up and running for like

5 years now

[hearty nebula]

and square enix just keeps shooting his projects dead

[sterile stone]

I was about to say something that got me banned

[wheat matrix]

I have no better suggestions to be fair, I just don't think it was handled well

[hexed igloo]

Coward

[elfin axle]

Entirely fair!

[hexed igloo]

You make me sick

[elfin axle]

Yeah, it's also not enviable position to be in

[sterile stone]

You wear leather jackets and skinny jeans

Gfto

[drowsy steppe]

theyre pretty tragic too

[elfin axle]

Because by expressing "I don't like how custodes were added/changed." You will get lumped with people that are just... chuds outright too

[drowsy steppe]

literally bred for war

and aged faster than normal humans

[elfin axle]

Mhm!

There's intent and decision on why they're the way they are

[drowsy steppe]

purpose is to fight in a war engineered by an evil bastard

[hearty nebula]

i mean yeah they are added in kind of a dumb way but also just like. how are you supposed to at this point

[hexed igloo]

Not skinny jeans I'm pretty sure I've told u before ribbed jeans

[hearty nebula]

im glad they're there but that was certainly a fuckass way of going about it

[elfin axle]

Which is kinda why I used clones as a major example of "Factions or organization that is only consist of certain type of people whether by identity, ethicity or so on, long as there's actual reason why that's relevant."

[sterile stone]

I know a authentic bullshitter when I see one

[wheat matrix]

ribbed for your pleasure or some shit?

[hexed igloo]

Iain owned a pair of skinny jeans in 8 years mate

[elfin axle]

For example in fantasy setting

[hearty nebula]

also im not a fan of people saying "become custodes" because people don't "become" them. they're test-tube creations lmfao

[sterile stone]

And yet you choose to dress like someone's 40 yr old father who can't accept he's aging

[solid current]

is this someone here lol

we're having a nice yap

[wheat matrix]

well, the children themselves are not vat grown as far as I'm aware

[sterile stone]

That ain't shit

[wheat matrix]

so the child does become a custodes

[sterile stone]

Wait til you meet the level 6500 zealot

[solid current]

anyone over 100 probably has joined the discord

[wheat matrix]

hi

[solid current]

oh god

[carmine lance]

What’s her name again lmao

[deft badge]

They're noble house babies that get gene alchemied iirc

[hexed igloo]

Peak drip is when your mom calls you homeless

[carmine lance]

I’ve ran into her only once

[solid current]

i was addicted to darktide zealot for like the first year of darktide release im only 350

[sterile stone]

That's how you know you're going places

[sterile stone]

Hold on

[hearty nebula]

yerh basically

[heady rapids]

y'all haven't experienced darktide if you haven't ran into two 4000lv german zealots on mic

[wheat matrix]

my mum does that a lot, but to be fair I do dress like an authentic homeless person

[heady rapids]

[hearty nebula]

be like 2 days old or not even born and then some golden god just kicks in the front door and puts your stupid ass in a jar

[hexed igloo]

I dress in either full baggy or slim pants + jacket

[wheat matrix]

is that rando leaver bitch

[sterile stone]

Celine prolly like level 7k by now

[sterile stone]

IT IS

[elfin axle]

A good example of why an all women order may exist that does not permit men would be if say, they worshipped a specific goddess that is specifically encapsulate women culturally. It makes sense why that faction exists. Having specific reason for why something is exclusionary, whether for a valid, or 'evil' or selfish and bigoted reasons. Those create stories.

[violet hornet]

I've seen a 10k but only once

[solid current]

AMERICAN CENTURY OF 20something white men wearing hoodies and exercise shorts

[wheat matrix]

bro probably has another 3k levels in unfinished missions

[sterile stone]

I mean I'm all for enjoying your game

[hearty nebula]

i got my image with celine a while back

[sterile stone]

But brudder

[hearty nebula]

about 7 months ago methinks

[sterile stone]

How many hours is 7k levels on a singular character

[drowsy steppe]

who is this person and what is their infamy

[elfin axle]

But when it comes to massive organization that is prided on "Only the best of best can achieve this. This is something that doesn't matter what world you come from, family or whatever we take the best and if you aren't we don't want you." and that being only incidentally towards men is a noticable oversight.

[hearty nebula]

yes

[sterile stone]

They will just randomly leave matches

For no explained reason

Mostly when they die.

[drowsy steppe]

oh dear

[solid current]

ive got 700 hours but 300 have been idling on the mourningstar i think

[violet hornet]

why is desperado scum allowed

my highest is vet...

[heady rapids]

rushed class next question

[hearty nebula]

celine is the living embodiment of "levels mean nothing"

[drowsy steppe]

I once str8 up only plays vet for MONTHS

[solid current]

noooo dont be menan

[carmine lance]

My highest is zealot

[hearty nebula]

i have zero clue what my level is now

[sterile stone]

Yeah was gonna say

[sterile stone]

My vet is like 654

[heady rapids]

@plush estuary do you know abt the 2 german zealot speedrunners?

I'm struggling to find screenshots of them

[sterile stone]

There's one EU guy Dorn use to non-stop mention

[plush estuary]

yes

but idk their names

[elfin axle]

I won't lie

[sterile stone]

Fuckenn uhhhh

DotNL

[elfin axle]

I kinda have a theory or idea of maybe why

[heady rapids]

ik one is all-fucker in german

[elfin axle]

Because if they're someone that has that many levels, I feel like they're hitting the point they don't play dark tide normally

[heady rapids]

and the other is dog killer or something like that

fuuuck

I can't find it

[sterile stone]

Esports darktide has got to be the saddest thing if this is the case

Like if you're playing this shit in any competitive mindset

Go outside

Get a job

Go get laid

[elfin axle]

So they might be vying for specific encounters or situations and just stop caring about XP or plasteel and when something doesn't add up or go well, they just don't give a fuck about staying in something that they aren't actively benefitting from.

[sterile stone]

This game can't be the only thing you enjoy

[elfin axle]

No I don't mean in esports fashion

Like I've been in other games and met people that had like...

9k hours in it and they go around trying to do the game by only bhopping backwards or something obscure

[sterile stone]

Interactions like how tho?

[elfin axle]

It creates weirdest fucking players

[sterile stone]

Most pub matches are dead quiet

[elfin axle]

And I do mean that affectionately.

When I say interactions I mean like-

[sterile stone]

Like I'd say darktide from the years I've been playing it

[elfin axle]

With the game itself

For example I know someone who kept playing DT because they're trying to get 15 crushers lined up to see if they can die in single plasma shot

And just leave games when they realize 'no more big packs will spawn anymore."

[sterile stone]

There's mods and shit to do tht solo

Or even more so.

There's whole ass communities for this.

[elfin axle]

Aye! Certainly there are some that are harmless

And some that are bit more disruptive, I was just offering perspective that sometimes people that has insane amount of hours in something plays it foundationally differently. Or have different 'win condition entirely." Or it could just be someone that's prone to salty and rage quiting.

[heady rapids]

Found them

Finally

[olive raven]

Peak

[drowsy steppe]

IRL brothers

calling it

[carmine lance]

I play darktide a lot because I genuinely just don’t get sick of it

Also good time killer at work

[elfin axle]

Silly question

Is there objectively better mark between relic blades

[sterile stone]

We have technology to test this

[heady rapids]

yes mk10

[elfin axle]

Mk2 is the elite buster right?

[heady rapids]

they both have the same solo target moveset of doing the sprint heavy

[drowsy steppe]

i wouldnt say objectively

[heady rapids]

it's objective cause it's my opinion and I know that I exist

[drowsy steppe]

theyre both kinda has similar dps output

[visual stream]

I leave auric lobbies when it's clear that there is more than one sentient teammate on the team

[heady rapids]

which cannot be said about everybody else

[visual stream]

I like testing my clutches

[elfin axle]

I just quite like being able to crunch armor well

[drowsy steppe]

you choose which one you want out of movement set preference

[heady rapids]

they both have the sprint attack

[elfin axle]

(I used force greatsword a lot on psyker and use the one with more complex moveset because I loved two hitting crushers)

[drowsy steppe]

sprint thrusting is fun

[hearty nebula]

not really

[heady rapids]

the only thing I know is that the MK2 has an uppercut that doesn't have weakspot priority (lmao)

[elfin axle]

Got it!

[hearty nebula]

they're basically the same dps output on both

[hearty nebula]

its like

2% difference or some shit

[drowsy steppe]

yea

[heady rapids]

there's an objectively better mark there I think with better dps

but idk which one

[hearty nebula]

mk2 iirc

[drowsy steppe]

number wise; the mk2 uppercut does more damage than mk10 overhead (according to bath anyways)

[heady rapids]

would make sense considering it's locked in a combo?

but no weakspot priority? yikes

[sterile stone]

@drowsy steppe Lemme tell you

[heady rapids]

enjoy hitting the feet

[sterile stone]

Best feeling in the world

When your face feels all smooth after a shave

[drowsy steppe]

yeaa

mine grows QUICK

[drowsy steppe]

camera placement..

[elfin axle]

Huh

I feel like I kill elites so fast with MK2

[deft badge]

Why is so much of metal gear talking

[drowsy steppe]

@sterile stone

2 gangers got real for a sec

[heady rapids]

kojima game

[sterile stone]

This is why it's my favorite class

[gaunt roost]

its my favorite class bc i like shooting things

[drowsy steppe]

they came up from the hive hood

[upbeat nymph]

is that the bounty hunter speaking in the second half

[drowsy steppe]

to now being payed well by the All Seeing I...

[deft badge]

I just want to play the game man and these people keep fuckin yapping, I thought i was free when I got out of the cutscene, no, 4 more radio calls

[visual stream]

https://tenor.com/view/barnyard-cows-mr-beady-cowfarm-cowsoutside-gif-20396193

[heady rapids]

better get used to it

[drowsy steppe]

fem bh (above) male outlaw (below)

[deft badge]

Are all his games like this

[heady rapids]

or go play V where all the yapping is in optional tapes

[gaunt roost]

yes

[deft badge]

I've played Phantom Pain and Revengeance

That's it

[drowsy steppe]

also cuz anti war message and all that

[heady rapids]

He didn't make revengeance

Phantom pain's yapping is all optional

[deft badge]

I can tell, they let you play the game within 5 minutes of launching it

[drowsy steppe]

since the entire metal gear (yes I watched a stupidly long video explaining the entire story of Metal Gear)

is about war and how people goes to stupid lengths to make sure they'll come out a victor

[elfin axle]

Sorry I never responded, are you talking about Total War Warhammer 3?

[heady rapids]

Very political

[drowsy steppe]

down to....creating an AI that basically controls war, information

[heady rapids]

so uhh

you'll have to get used to it

[deft badge]

Or i can close the game everytime I get bored and try again in the future

[heady rapids]

lmao you reminded me

[sterile stone]

Warmed up to using BH

[drowsy steppe]

you aint ready for MGS4 (cutscenes)

[deft badge]

I'm ngl

The more I get exposed to Kojima games by actually playing them

The less I understand liking them

[drowsy steppe]

I dont think much of the games either

[north sedge]

weird shit with good gameplay, also pretty revolutionary stuff especially early on

[drowsy steppe]

i like female bh's voice

[deft badge]

I thought i was free

I thought I was out for a second

The save person is talking about godzilla

[north sedge]

you are never free

[heady rapids]

https://youtu.be/z1aeKK7hAso?si=NJpbYAHaEEezkx9e

this yo ass?

[deft badge]

Yes

[drowsy steppe]

https://youtu.be/_dlrx6pUDD4 8 hours...

[deft badge]

If i wanted some nerd to tell me about godzilla there's 9000 people on YouTube

[heady rapids]

that's the best part tho

[gaunt roost]

yea

[elfin axle]

Skaven is admittedly finicky to play as new player

[sterile stone]

https://tenor.com/view/tiger-tiger-woods-big-dog-salutation-what-up-gif-2478767235926945002

[elfin axle]

Might be better to try other factions to get fundamentals as skaven is very lot of microing with hammers and anvil with cowardly infantry

[deft badge]

There's genuinely no scum voice i dislike

[deft badge]

Play skyre, use slave rats as a distraction, drop literal nuke on the enemy and my own slave rats, whatever survives gets shot by ratlings

[drowsy steppe]

I like hearing anarchist but I dont want my character be an insane ganger

[deft badge]

I play male BH fwiw

[heady rapids]

Hearing some of the anarchist voicelines makes my face do ishowspeed levels of reactions sometimes

Also a male BH

[sterile stone]

I'd like anrchist more if everyone and their damn mom didn't use it

[heady rapids]

real shit???

[sterile stone]

It's arguably the best personality out of the 3

[heady rapids]

yeah you hear too much of anarchist around

imo

[deft badge]

I remember when I said anarchist was gonna be the most popular voice and Hank went "nah it'll be bounty hunter"

[mystic ether]

Anarchist is qbout as much as I'd expect from 40k. Should be called opportunist more than anything.

[deft badge]

Should be called lunatic

[sterile stone]

This

Isn't the lore behind anarchist that they're literal asylum escapees

[drowsy steppe]

female outlaw is pretty rare in my experience

from dialogue it seems like it

[deft badge]

I heard that line exists but I havent heard it

[drowsy steppe]

or that they were prisoners of some kind

[deft badge]

Ive heard literally one

Since scum launch

[sterile stone]

I feel like outlaw is the weakest personality out of them all

[mystic ether]

They're pretty sane. They're just literally on some opportunistic shit.

[drowsy steppe]

I rotate between male Outlaw and female Bounty Hunter

[sterile stone]

Honestly tho

I've been back on arby

And I remembered why I picked fatalist

Best damn personality
