[inland mantle]

Allg man we want to join Cas in the chad server or join a st here

[fading yarrow]

Literally every operative that survives like. Their first mission has beaten the odds

[nimble glade]

Definitely lasting more than a day of deployment. Until thousands of trappers roll up on yah.

[modest flume]

You guys are forgetting something

[fast cosmos]

up to you

[modest flume]

The Emperor has a plan for us, not the other nobodies

[inland mantle]

We can check in with cas rq then

[modest flume]

[fading yarrow]

see: Fifteen Hours

[wanton pier]

Conversations on the Mourningstar talk about the attrition rate of the rejects, we really do just play the actually lucky and skilled ones

[elder oasis]

i do agree with that, orks treat other orks the same way.

so their morality is just so alien it looks like immorality by human standards.

but just comparing the suffering they cause is where im getting my measurements

[trim sleet]

[tacit geode]

We're the 21 good ones

that's it though

[fading yarrow]

i think Darktide makes more sense if we imagine all our characters are HQ-equivalent

[nimble glade]

Very generous numbers there, NGL. The fact that it has a HP bar to begin with. Lol

[minor narwhal]

we need to play as the unnamed rejects that die in 1 shot from the enemy

[tacit geode]

so out of 500000 people we got 21 competent people
Good deal.

[minor narwhal]

it'd be hilarious

[fast cosmos]

We're the royal fucking flush of Rannick's rejects.

We're the big dogs.

[fading yarrow]

because four HQ units probably could quite easily cleave through poxwalkers, guardsmen and some ogryn/spawn

[fast cosmos]

The big kahunas.

[wanton pier]

Traitors Curse cutscene shows how well the Moebian 21st do against the scabs

[elder oasis]

"lore accurate beast of nurgle fight"

it touches us and whether we kill it or not we die before reaching the end of the level

[minor narwhal]

lmao

[minor narwhal]

thing eats us an we just wash it off with a stimm

LOL

actually blessed rejects

[wanton pier]

surprised they haven't been wiped out yet, especially after entire platoons became groaners

[fading yarrow]

yeah if it’s lore accurate we’d all receive the Emperor’s Mercy the first time we were clipped by a blight grenade

[tawny hearth]

yeah i get it, its kind of like the lesson from the sequel to enders game.... "speaker for the dead"

[fast cosmos]

Odds are we have psychic protection of some kind

[tawny hearth]

i just think a universe controled by orks and only orks would be a happy one

[elder oasis]

grey knight level of chaos resistance

[tacit geode]

There's probably like 6 of them left at this point lmfao

[fading yarrow]

The game even acknowledges it in like uh

[fast cosmos]

Whether from Sefoni, our reject psykers, or the emperor himself.

[fading yarrow]

I want to say the Refinery Mission?

[minor narwhal]

emperor just giving us powers to allow us to goof around 🙏

[fast cosmos]

It's pretty clear to me from the Zealot being able to use the book we're special in some way.

Since he's literally channeling the power of faith.

[wanton pier]

The Moebian 53rd almost got wiped out after falling for an obvious trap in the Rolling Steel mission

[fierce cave]

Just because they have names

[wanton pier]

Grendyl's warband really are the only competent people on Atoma rn

[fading yarrow]

Where the elevator chat is going “heyyyy so what about this substance we’ve been exposed to?” And Zola or our flygirl just tell us to shut up or think less

[tacit geode]

"Faith disease dw about it"

[elder oasis]

thats true, or kin. or tau. prolly missing a few others

but the rest would probably still have a lot of suffering even if no other faction was there XD

[tawny hearth]

lol yeah they would

[minor narwhal]

its pretty hilarious that a single middle aura zealot can completely counter a burgles corruption lmao

like how do they do that

[fading yarrow]

“Yeah the guardsman has a medikit and a perk Nurgle ain’t shit”

[viral vapor]

So wh40k is at the tenth edition as of 2023. Disgusting…

[tawny hearth]

i kind of like it tbh i just think they should give it to one other class somehow to give people more options if they want to "build around" the issue

[tacit geode]

I thought we were like mid way through 10th

[minor narwhal]

naw corruption is too weak to matter usually

[fading yarrow]

At this point it’s a miracle our operatives haven’t fallen

[tawny hearth]

true, its not usually killing me i just find it annoying

[jovial pine]

I wish there was a class that focused more on casting buffs on teammates or self than just outright fighting

[fading yarrow]

We keep getting put in like. Corruption Chenobyl.

[wanton pier]

A few missions mention invasive detox procedures after missions

[minor narwhal]

literally just a normal shower probably

[fading yarrow]

a shower but four priests are chanting at you the whole time

[nimble glade]

With the new Ogryn rework, I've been playing a lot of Ogryn recently. I'm so used to the shield, and now with the Arbites shield.. I don't think I'll be able to play without one. Lol

It's that good. I finally utilize and watch my stamina bar without ignoring it like I do with other classes.

I plan to play only Arbites moving forward now currently, until.. unless we get Black Templars or Sisters of Battle next. Lol

I'm gonna make 3 Arbites characters.

[elder oasis]

tbf using actual medical practices do help vs nurgle to some extent XD

gulliman used medical doctors, medicine, and quarantines to slow down the plagues nurgle sent while morty was doing his thing.

course it didnt stop nurgles worst stuff, and some people turned into daemons called plaguebearers but whatver right? just put them down as a statistic XD

[minor narwhal]

nurgles corruption? just say no

[tawny hearth]

naw its probably alot of incense and being blasted with speakers blaring holy words or something and other weird stuff

[nimble glade]

Average day within the Imperium.

[fading yarrow]

This is probably going to be a sillier question but is Brunt missing? I swear I heard some ambient dialogue about it

[elder oasis]

and the shower head is a person made into a shower servitor

[minor narwhal]

brunt has been missing since forever hes probably in underhive

[tawny hearth]

he does do wetwork sometimes from what we've seen in lore bits so he's probably doing that

[wanton pier]

The water on Tertium is literally already mentioned to be barely drinkable, maybe the reason nobody noticed the Cult takeover the Torrent is because the water barely changed taste

[minor narwhal]

like oh my god just bring him back already

[fading yarrow]

terrible fear we’re going to fight a Plague Juiced Brunt as a boss

[nimble glade]

Probably saving him for an upcoming dlc to 100% our gear.

To turn it red like in Vermintide 2.

That's just my guess though.

[tacit geode]

Where's my catachan ogryn

[tawny hearth]

lol they could have just been happy for water, the water cartel was there first

[minor narwhal]

tbh our ogryns literally eat poxhounds and are fine lol

[nimble glade]

Behind you.

[tawny hearth]

if you simply eat nurgles gifts then they can't hurt you

[wanton pier]

Didn't the cult help the Water Cartel take over? Zola's memories mention the Ragged King had backers in the Hourglass which is IIRC where the Cult got started

[nimble glade]

Strong immune system

[tawny hearth]

i can't remember tbh i just remembered they were there before because we find dead ones the lore is jumbled so i get confused about timelines

[tacit geode]

Other way around I believe

the water cartel help the cult get a foothold

didn'tr eally work out

[fading yarrow]

The Ragged King’s backers were in the Hourglass yeah

The uh. Guy

Mako

Says so

[nimble glade]

They might be low-key reduced to atoms.

[wanton pier]

Think the Water Cartel was established but the cult helped one faction within the cartel (the ragged kings faction) take over

then betrayed him

[tacit geode]

Fools trusted the heretics and this happens

[tawny hearth]

either way my point was that after the water cartels were out of the picture the flow of water probably picked up so people were more prone to drink it

at least thats my assumption about it all lol

[fading yarrow]

Mako (the guy Zola kills once he tries to take her cut once Wolfer gets tithe’d) states he’s put back together by the people in the Hourglass, and now they own him, body and soul

The Brunt adjusts his neck 360 degrees

[wanton pier]

The cult was so beneath notice that Rannick didn't even know they call themselves the Admonition until Dark Communion

[tawny hearth]

good ol' dr brunt

[tacit geode]

It's not really like the imperium gives a shit about gangs

they tithe into the guard then tehy can stay around

[fading yarrow]

Iirc the Inquisition loves gangs

[nimble glade]

By the time we reach Atoma Prime, it's already far too gone.

Death Guard just waiting at this point somewhere off screen.

The best course of action is exterminatus-..

Inquisitor: Hold up now, I have my secret stash of extra rations on that planet!

[wanton pier]

Zola mentions in the jailhouse assassination mission that the enforcers abandoned the Torrent decades ago

[tacit geode]

Again it's really not that bad

[wanton pier]

The hourglass was abandoned centuries ago

[warped thunder]

That new trailer was baaaaad... wth

[fading yarrow]

I forget which voice it is but i think one of the Veterans goes “you do NOT want the sisters deployed here”

[nimble glade]

Honestly curious why they haven't just exterminatus the planet yet, because if we don't stop the heresy corruption at the source soon.. it'll just lead to a Nox Alpha 2.0 and the Death Guard showing up..

In the lore the planet Atoma Prime is very strategically important to the Imperium, so the Cult not trying to turn the planet into a Nox Alpha 2.0 and the Death Guard not showing up.. is a bit strange IMHO.

[fading yarrow]

hhhhh actually. i have an unrelated question. with the introduction of the arbites, are we getting a sixth character slot?

[tawny hearth]

people are saying yes

[tacit geode]

yeah

[fading yarrow]

They don’t usually exterminatus a planet when one hive city falls

[tacit geode]

you should check the handy dandy pins

[nimble glade]

Unless..

Unless... The Inquisitor is a Heretical chaotic radical!?? Traitor!!!

[fading yarrow]

Exterminatus is like. “The cost of doing this outweighs the cost of just wiping out this planet.”

[nimble glade]

By the Emperor!

[tawny hearth]

its a very big city we're in so its probably not reaching critical levels quite yet despite what we've been seeing, we're just thrown into the worst parts

[wanton pier]

Atoma is mentioned as an important producer of moebian steel

[nimble glade]

Don't forget from what we've heard too.

[fading yarrow]

but we’re sorta. like. Holding back Admonition? Or at least inconveniencing them enough that their efforts are frustrated

[wanton pier]

so it ain't getting exterminatus'd unless there is zero chance of winning

[elder merlin]

[tacit geode]

I mean they're trying to get a foothold in throneside but we keep shutting it down

[fading yarrow]

The Inquisition only usually Exterminatus-es first and asks questions later to deny a Hive Fleet tendril resources preemptively

[wanton pier]

One variant of the Metalfab missions has Wolfer mention also wanting to unlock the secrets of Moebian Steel so also about stopping traitors getting their hands on that

[fast cosmos]

we're def a major hinderance to their plans

[elder merlin]

It'll get exterminatus'd when we fail, the orks invade, genestealer cults finally rise up and a warp rift opens up on the planet

[fading yarrow]

GSCs are so funny.

“We did it! We defeated the Imperium!”
Prize Behind Door #1: Exterminatus
Prize Behind Door #2 Hive Fleet Lunch

[wanton pier]

Wonder if Wolfer sticks around for long, The Cult mention killing him for failing in Dark Communion

[fading yarrow]

I could see him getting like. Spawnified at the end of an upcoming map.

That’s usually the reward for failure

[wanton pier]

Gotta answer the stuff about him and Zola first

[tawny hearth]

some of the missions were major blows or straight up denials of their plans at all (like the train mission)

[wanton pier]

because it's kinda obvious he's Tibiron Zola

[fading yarrow]

Yeah I think the whole Mortis Trials memories put to bed any doubt there

[nimble glade]

Apparently the whole planet is under siege or just a very large big civil war between loyalists and traitors.. definitely not covert though. IMHO

The Inquisition quarantined the area though, or is that just Atoma Prime?

[fading yarrow]

i think it helps to remember how absurdly large hives are too

[nimble glade]

Trying to piece Warhammer 40k lore is hella crazy.

[tawny hearth]

yeah they have more than earths population regularly

sometimes by a huge margin lol

[dreamy violet]

Imagine the population density. I bet it would be just... the absolute worst

[nimble glade]

Warhammer 40k lore is just too vast. It's older than most of us have even been alive. Lol

Plus it continues to grow etc.

[wanton pier]

The Moebian 6th are interesting as traitors go, clearly chaos corrupted but still professional and claim to be liberating Tertium while having a strained alliance with the more zealous Cult of Admonition

[tawny hearth]

the smell

[fast cosmos]

Hives have billions/trillions of people in them

[fading yarrow]

I saw a picture on Twitter of like. “Everything that Luke, Han and Obi Wan do on the death star takes place inside basically a single pixel of an image of the death star” and that’s basically Hive Scale

[dreamy violet]

Yeah, because you also know the Imperium is gonna dedicate bare minimum resources to cleanliness, air purification, etc etc

[nimble glade]

Did they say that? Maybe Wolfer tries redeeming himself.

[wanton pier]

Wolfer realizing he traded servitude for one group of zealots for another

[last lake]

the galaxy's most effective and determined warriors to fight off Nurgle (literally the garbage guy, the plumber, and the HVAC technician) 💪 space marines AIN'T NOTHIN TO ME MAN

[nimble glade]

New class confirmed! Lol

Lol I joke

[dreamy violet]

Hah, yeah lol. Real talk, honestly

[fading yarrow]

Hives are so populous that the Arbites being sent in to do a population cull isn’t unusual

[nimble glade]

Death Guard:

[tawny hearth]

basically living the reject life

[dreamy violet]

Shows up to a mission with an air filter and everyone just nods

[wanton pier]

Its one of the variants of the mission dialogue, theres like 3 kinds of way the conversation between Wolfer and the Cultists can go but one has them threaten to kill him

[fading yarrow]

Even then arguably our Rejects are already a cut above

[last lake]

speaking as a janitor in my day job, in a commercial setting, it's crazy how many nasty bugs and diseases I get rid of at work by keeping things clean for everyone else.

[nimble glade]

Good Varlet

[fading yarrow]

they’ve all survived their Fifteen Hours by the time the game starts, if not more

[last lake]

I got a few plague marines :D they're cute lil guys

[fading yarrow]

They just all either violated one of the Imperium’s innumerable laws or did whatever that One Veteran Voice has going on

[wanton pier]

As long as they answer why Tibiron Zola changed his name to Biron Wolfer

[nimble glade]

When you're about to be deployed on a mission and the sanctioned tech priest wizard waved some candles around to bless your strike:

[tawny hearth]

they would be named characters with special statlines for sure

[fading yarrow]

There was a three pager White Dwarf stories ages ago following Catachans fighting tyranids and it captured the essence of what us Rejects are excellently

[nimble glade]

Oh, I thought they were just gonna talk to the 3, and maybe Wolfer would be punished or something.. but I don't think the Mobian 6th would just hand him over.

[dreamy violet]

The Psyker is truly special. The fact that we don't just immediately go insane around demons is incredible

[wanton pier]

Biron is likely a nickname from his sister, since he calls Orgustine "Stina" in the Mortis Trials memory

But why Wolfer

[fading yarrow]

It starts with the catachans making bets with their nightwatch duty about if the psyker will get out of this deployment with all his perfect fingernails intact

[dreamy violet]

The fact all of the rejects don't go insane is kind of special, even

[nimble glade]

Exactly, that's what I've been trying to tell people. Lol

Ain't no way we surviving breathing in that green dust. Lol

[fading yarrow]

And at the conclusion of the story, none of the Psyker’s nails are broken, and the guy who lost the bet can’t stop laughing. ||Of course, the Psyker’s forearms are no longer attached to his body because they were severed by the Valkyrie’s door closing… But all the nails are intact.||

[dreamy violet]

The fact we haven't contracted a nurgle plague is also just mind boggling. I've spent well over a thousand hours knee deep in zombie gore. That's just wild.

[tawny hearth]

wasn't one of eisenhorns pyskers able to tolerate a DH for a short time (been forever since i've read it tho)

[nimble glade]

Filter or not, that's literally space voodoo cancer plague magic. Lol

[dreamy violet]

Oh psykers can resist for a short time, for sure. But this sort of sustained contact without corruption is very rare. Especially for a psyker.

[nimble glade]

Our faces should have been melting and we should have started mutating on the spot if we were just regular normal humans. Lol

Good ol plot armor

[fading yarrow]

Deploying barely-supervised psykers to a place like Tertium which is broadcasting radio signals that corrupt you it’s a wonder they haven’t all opened a rift

[dreamy violet]

Yeah, this is honestly not indicative of our characters specialness. But rather the need to suspend disbelief lol

[wanton pier]

There could be days/weeks long breaks between missions, I think going on missions in Grendyl's warband is a rather informal affair

Bully Ogryns have dialogue where they mention volunteering for missions

[tawny hearth]

also the missions don't keep happening in the lore, they are mostly one and done things so mixed with the rituals after thats probably why we're all fine

[nimble glade]

Loner Psyker: exists

[tawny hearth]

plus nurgle can work pretty slow at times

[fading yarrow]

Our characters are highly competent compared to their tabletop contemporaries — They were all experienced combatants prior to their imprisonment, but they are all still plot armored

[tawny hearth]

same as the U5 from vermintide tbh

[knotty bloom]

[fading yarrow]

I just imagine that every time I fail a mission that THAT reject is dead for real, and that I’m playing a like. New one. From a logistical standpoint.

I think we’re all overplaying how virulent Nurgle is, too

[tawny hearth]

lol this is why i have random voices on for helldivers, helps me pretend each life is a whole helldiver

[fading yarrow]

Nurgle, once he gets going, is horrifying

But if “Nurgle is here” means a planet is lost they wouldn’t be opposable

[tawny hearth]

i remember a short story involving marines and more normal people and they got swarmed dartide style but cut their way out and were "fine" after

swarmed by poxies i mean

[fading yarrow]

at least in WFB Nurgle is stumped because he’s in love with Isha and keeps telling her all his secrets and she in turn keeps telling mortals how to cure his nonsense

[tawny hearth]

lol

[nimble glade]

Oh like special cutscenes, but in this case special duologue. Damn

Hopefully we can have a feature to replay certain audio or something etc. So we don't miss out on any lore. I don't wanna try scrolling through the Internet just to find it either. Ain't no one got time for that. At least we got some YouTubers doing some of it for us, but having like a archive in-game would be nice. Aren't we getting a feature to replay cutscenes too?

[wanton pier]

When Darktide reaches the end of its lifespan and the ending is Rannick getting a promotion and all us rejects getting executed after outliving our usefulness

[last lake]

the latter

[fading yarrow]

I keep thinking we’re going to get a reveal that Rannick is a cultist

[wanton pier]

It is implied that Rannick is managing the warband instead of Grendyl because its a test to see if he's ready for a promotion to full inquisitor

[grave lark]

are there any mods that let you aim down sights or like through a scope?

[bright oyster]

Need fent

[nimble glade]

I think the Inquisitor might be one too though. One of em definitely is, because they keep avoiding each other. Idk

I feel like it's gonna be a huge plot twist later on. Probably around the time they introduce PvP.

[elder merlin]

Pvp? Gross

[wanton pier]

It was funny that an in-story twist was that the Cult were the ones in charge, when we the players have known that since the beginning

[nimble glade]

Oh. Lol

[fading yarrow]

I think my big thing as to why I think Rannick is sus is because as he himself says it’s his job to know about Admonition and knows nothing, and also in the Karnak Twins stuff is adamant about us not taking either of them alive.

[tawny hearth]

i think the main twist will be that the reject is actually the third karnak twin

[fast cosmos]

i think rannick is just grossly incompetent

and zola is much better than him

lmao

[nimble glade]

But why would he kill the traitor or spy then? Lol

[elder merlin]

What kind of insane takes are these?

[tawny hearth]

lol i think the reveal with him is that he's not as good as he thinks he is or even as other people think he is

[elder merlin]

[nimble glade]

The plot thickens. Lol

[fading yarrow]

As cover?

[wanton pier]

That was because Zola wanted the Karnak twins alive for an interrogation but was walking into a trap since the Wyrmwood agent who reported their whereabouts was caught

[fading yarrow]

This is very common double agent stuff. Expose another traitor to solidify your trustworthiness

[nimble glade]

I really do think the Inquisitor might be a traitor, look at Space Marines 1.

[wanton pier]

Rannick wanted to salvage a failed operation by killing Wolfer's lieutenants

[fading yarrow]

I’m just theorizing and could be wrong, but all his actions could be explicable either way

[formal wharf]

personally i think everyone in darktide is actually alpharius

[nimble glade]

The other Inquisitor died too. Before Marrow is rescued. As far as we know of course.

[formal wharf]

maybe even nurgle himself but thats a stretch

[tawny hearth]

the game will end with Sefoni waking up and all this was a dream, she's actually a realtor from ohio

[fading yarrow]

My read was that Rannick made it a failed mission - Zola had a plan, Rannick comes in and demands we abort it but when we can’t demands we kill them both rather than take one alive as Zola wanted

[wanton pier]

Rannick must be some kind of competent to get to interrogator

[nimble glade]

So that just leaves one theory.

The Inquisitor is a trait- blam

Inquisitor backed by his army of loner Pyskers: ignore that one.

[formal wharf]

the inquisitors are actually the bad guys

how could i see this one coming

fuck you leandros

[wanton pier]

Zola walked into a trap, the agent who gave her intel was compromised

[nimble glade]

Literally explains why the Interrogator doesn't know anything. Inquisitor feeding him false information or keeping him in the dark.

[tawny hearth]

he 100% is, but i think he's got more weaknesses than he understands and that will be where we're going with his story... at least thats how it feels to me

[nimble glade]

Zola tragically ending up like her brother and she don't even know it yet.

[wanton pier]

Its just that the rejects are built different and were able to walk out alive

[nimble glade]

Who else authorized the rejects? Literally the Inquisitor.

It's the Inquisitors private army.

[formal wharf]

captain wolfer watching half his entire regiment get wiped out by 4 ogryrns with rocks

[tawny hearth]

he should have defected to team oggy

[nimble glade]

Everyone: I think the Inquisitor is sus!

Inquisitor with army of Psykers: Kill them

[wanton pier]

Always fun hearing Wolfer get an aneurysm over the comms

[fading yarrow]

I just like to imagine my lil’ Loose Cannon Veteran pausing to see if anyone has valuable teeth

[formal wharf]

lore accurate darktide

[wanton pier]

Also hearing that the Moebian squads report that the rejects are a platoon to save face

[fading yarrow]

Wolfer saying “It’s funny how you guys forget how to count when your asses get kicked” got me

[tacit geode]

"Platoon of at least 50 sir"
"I'm sure that's true..."

[nimble glade]

The Arbites Marshal and the Commissar can sense the heresy.

[formal wharf]

dw captain wolfer you now also have to deal with the adeptus arbites now

and also 3 pissed of generic evil guys

[fading yarrow]

my hot take of all the backgrounds deployed

arbites are probably the least scary lorewise. they’re still scary, but. yknow. They’re upjumped cops.

[wanton pier]

There is also dialogue mentioning that the reason we can get through the Carnival without the Moebians sending everything after us is that they're too busy getting drunk or high

[nimble glade]

Of mount doom, at the North Pole of Atoma Prime.

Base should have a skull shape mountain. With nurglings running around it.

[fading yarrow]

Part of it as well is just how damn slow the mechanisms of Imperial architecture are

[formal wharf]

and also good pilot

[fading yarrow]

Redeploying a regiment in response to a surgical strike squad that got airdropped on your taint would be a logistical nightmare

[nimble glade]

Jokes aside, I think the 3 might be the corrupted nobility or at least one of em is associated with em.

They got too much backing.

[formal wharf]

one of them are absolutelty gonna be some rich person

[fading yarrow]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ragged King shows up again

[formal wharf]

such as the govener

[tawny hearth]

this is what i assumed tbh

[torn pier]

Again? What have I missed in the past year? lol

[wanton pier]

It was Lord Margrave that requested the Moebians come to put down the Cultist uprising

[fading yarrow]

Well. He doesn’t REALLY show up, but he’s a character in the Mortis Trials

[torn pier]

I did not know that

side note. You think they'll let us pet the robot dog of the new class? 👀

[fading yarrow]

Each Mortis Trial has a three part script that plays of Zola or Morrow’s memories, and the Ragged King shows up in Zola’s.

I already loved Morrow the Most and the Mortis Trials just confirmed how correct I was

[tacit geode]

You can pet the dog

and give it treats too

[fading yarrow]

Love a guardsman that will just straight-up ||shoot his Commissar.||

[torn pier]

Game of the year.

[nimble glade]

I have a question that only OGs would know..

Did the other Mobian 6th Captains showed up after Wolfer was gonna be punished or before that one new map recently?

[tawny hearth]

he's tuff

[nimble glade]

There's a lot of em.

[wanton pier]

The timeline is Culists establish themselves in the lower hive, Moebians fall to chaos on Nox Alpha, Cultists start uprising on Tertium, Leadership recall the moebians to Tertium to put down the uprising

No idea how Wolfer getting captured fits into that, or how long the cult and moebians were in contact

[tacit geode]

The fact the arbites got him too lol

[mossy solstice]

Lol think I came up with the ideal arbites and his dog name combo, but not everyone will get the reference unless you're old.

Wallace and Gromit

[nimble glade]

Casually merc'd a bunch of chaos space marines, and their corn chips guardsmen and a Khorne commissar. With little few casualties by Warhammer 40k standards.

[tawny hearth]

lol they're still getting movies man

[last lake]

you must be like 60 :o

[uncut bone]

What is your dog name

[nimble glade]

Inquisition: I want that one, right there.

[fading yarrow]

They’re no-hopers, but they’re my no hopers.

I love you Morrow you gruff teddy bear

[mossy solstice]

Nah, only 33, so still young

[wanton pier]

kind of feel bad that Rannick let Sefoni do... "something" to his mind

[fading yarrow]

Welcome to the Inquisition

[wanton pier]

He was clearly in bad shape from the long term stasis in the warp/space hulk but I wouldn't want Sefoni in my head

[mossy solstice]

I know, which is kinda crazy

[fading yarrow]

Sefoni just seems to adore dicking around in people’s heads

She’s lucky she’s so funny

[wanton pier]

And flirting with Oska

[mossy solstice]

And in Dr.Kral's pants?

[nimble glade]

Hmm..

I was thinking Alberlard, Titus, Sly Marbo, or even Marrow.. not sure yet. Lots of good options though. Lots of meme potential.

I'll have to flip a coin and let the Emperor decide.

[uncut bone]

Wallace and gromit

[fading yarrow]

Alphbarkius.

[wanton pier]

I laughed when Oska mentions hiding from Morrow during that version of the mission

[fading yarrow]

Biron Woofer.

[mossy solstice]

Man and Dog. Simple as

[modest flume]

No wonder he fell to Chaos, mans is named Biron

[uncut bone]

Simple name , Simple life

[wanton pier]

Wolfer didn't fall to chaos from losing faith in the emperor or the imperium
It's because he's a furry

[uncut bone]

Lore 🔥

[nimble glade]

It was probably to protect him honestly.

Everyone he knows is dead.

[fading yarrow]

That’s life in the Guard, baybeeeee

[uncut bone]

There's only 4 of them , and hundreds of us , wolfer 🥀

[wanton pier]

Kind of wonder what she's done to Zola since she has her entire lifestory in her mind

[mossy solstice]

Well yeah, since Morrow is a veteran of the 1st (?) war of Armageddon and was left in a stasis chamber for God knows how long

[tawny hearth]

lol i was probably gonna name mine after a couple of characters in a novel from the the early 90s. So probably Wickwrackscar and the dog named ravna because thats funny if you know the book lol

[wanton pier]

Shouldn't we be concerned that Sefoni's psyche includes Nurgle corruptors that she says lurk in her mind

[nimble glade]

At least his homeworld and the Steel Legion is still around though.

[uncut bone]

My man survived a war , and then go to sleep what a Chad

[fading yarrow]

hm. Has there been a Tanith First & Only cosmetic set yet?

[tacit geode]

No

Which is funny given who wrote the game

[fading yarrow]

Oh shit is Abnett the writer?

[tacit geode]

yup

[fading yarrow]

Ha

Morrow makes so much more sense now

[wanton pier]

Speaking of funny mission handlers I love Oska's being indignant during the variant with him and Zola where she mentions his knowledge of illegal trade

"someone has been besmirching my good name again"

[fading yarrow]

He would NEVER run a criminal enterprise so sloppily.

[tacit geode]

Also Matt Ward

[fading yarrow]

Oh damn bringing out the goats

just need ADB

[wanton pier]

Zola telling him he's elbow deep in body parts when he criticizes the cultists cleanliness

[fading yarrow]

But he’s more a Marine Guy

[elder merlin]

@sleek harness you alive?

We gettin the gang back together?

[mossy solstice]

I love it when KX-8 handles the missions

KX-8: "Deeper! You must go deeper!"
Hadron: "Is that so?"

[sleek harness]

[fading yarrow]

Kayex won me over with the whole uh

[wanton pier]

His version of Rolling Steel is funny, Dukane is so done listening to him

[mossy solstice]

Pre-servitors ❤️

[wanton pier]

"Would you want that in Binary or Gothic?"

[sleek harness]

Nic the guy himself left the server

[nimble glade]

So who do y'all think that's important to the story would end up dying first if there are any deaths and if so, why and how?

[sleek harness]

He had just joined the gang

[fading yarrow]

“Don’t call them pre-servitors”
“I am sorry. My advanced age has made me forgetful. And I have forgotten. Because I have become forgetful. Due to my age.”

[nimble glade]

Minus chaos of course.

[mossy solstice]

"Oh lady of unbridled authority"

[elder merlin]

I call upon thee, @round mica

[sleek harness]

And

We still need a 4th person

[wanton pier]

Brunts been missing for months now so maybe he's dead, wouldn't exactly call him important

[elder merlin]

Why he leave? Also i meant the gang we did havoc with lol

Tag Enoch

[sleek harness]

Idk

He was edgy before

[elder merlin]

His stupid name dont come up for me cause of those symbols he has in it

[nimble glade]

R.I.P Big Man

[sleek harness]

His profile became more edgy

[mossy solstice]

"I fear that great age has made me forgetful. And also...made me forgetful it has."

[fading yarrow]

That’s it

Kayex you beautiful thing

[sleek harness]

He changed his name to be "Pain. No Sympathy"

Literally passing by a edgy stage

[elder merlin]

Tag Enoch

[sleek harness]

If we are lucky he comes back

[wanton pier]

Hallowette is surprisingly likable during her times as mission handler

I like her sniping with Melk

[fading yarrow]

i love hallowette missions

[elder merlin]

Hallowette is just here to party, dats why

[fading yarrow]

She’s so chipper

[tawny hearth]

naw he's gonna come back with his new friend, Judge Dredd

[sleek harness]

Who

[elder merlin]

Everyone else is either huffin imperium shit or too tired to actually change anything

[sleek harness]

[amber cave]

oh i just noticed

**the Arbites Shotgun is particularly powerful - so much so that Fatshark has had to rebalance all the existing shotguns to help them match up to the newcomer's might. **

[fading yarrow]

I love Hallowette most when she gets nettled

[elder merlin]

The poozer who we did havoc with, with @round mica

The ape escape mona lisa profile picture guy

[fading yarrow]

When she gets all talking into her sleeve

[wanton pier]

Morrow when he tells her he ejected contraband

[mossy solstice]

Shotgun buff?

[amber cave]

thats what they say ;3

[elder merlin]

Did anyone even use the shotguns?

[fading yarrow]

“All sales go to the Hallowette retirement fund” in a winky voice

[elder merlin]

I dont think i ever seen anyone using them in my time playing

[tawny hearth]

i've seen the odd shotgun enjoyer, but they are rare

[fast cosmos]

I would sleep with Hallowette.

[fading yarrow]

I used the uh. Mark where you could load a precise round for a while

[nimble glade]

Yeah, the old shotguns were garbage. I never used em. Probably still won't.

[sleek harness]

@verbal panther

Paul can't ping you

[fading yarrow]

But then realized the stub revolver did the same thing but better

[sleek harness]

Because of your weird name

Change it for god sake

[mossy solstice]

At some point the pyro shell shotgun was popular among zealots

[fading yarrow]

I see the Double Barrel in the wild a lot

[wanton pier]

Melk spending the entire mission berating Hallowette for using Inquisition resources only to get himself a 20% cut in the end

[fading yarrow]

Which I personally don’t understand but I hope they’re having fun

[tawny hearth]

honestly you see all sorts of builds in auric because alot of people there are just playing builds for fun

[mossy solstice]

"Go stick your head in a reactor you old goat!"

[nimble glade]

Yeah, once you go stub revolver. You never go back.

Such a reliable weapon

[fading yarrow]

nothing more satisfying than doing a lil plink and watching a Crusher drop

[elder merlin]

[nimble glade]

I wish the bolt pistol was as strong or even stronger than the stub revolver though. Lol

[uncut bone]

It's high noon

[sleek harness]

@verbal panther

[fading yarrow]

going to have Serious Words with whichever tech priest decided it was heresy to use a loading wheel in the other mark though

[sleek harness]

@verbal panther

[uncut bone]

SKAVEN

[wanton pier]

Theres also that Carnival mission where Melk and Hallowette show up on comms and Zola is clearly done with the both of them

[verbal panther]

what the fuck do you want

[sleek harness]

Who are you

[sleek harness]

Play

[nimble glade]

Vermintide nam flashbacks

[sleek harness]

You are online and it took 3 pings yo get you hete

Here

Jeez

[verbal panther]

cant playing sons of the forrest for a bit afterwards im going to bed

[fading yarrow]

huh. that IS an ape escape mona lisa

[verbal panther]

cus its 1 in the morning

[sleek harness]

Should've make this clear by connecting your steam or something to Discord

So I could see that you are playing and not ping your dumbass

[mossy solstice]

Freddie Mercury looking ahh

[sleek harness]

[mossy solstice]

Kills a man
Calls for momma

[sleek harness]

@jovial pine

Imagine if it takes a single ping to call you

It would be funny wouldn't it

[jovial pine]

[sleek harness]

Yeah exactly

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Want to play with the gang Darktide?

[jovial pine]

sure

[uncut bone]

I am Markus not so sober kruber

[elder merlin]

Lamb'll always come on the first ping if you mention chinese women

[jovial pine]

[uncut bone]

[sleek harness]

There were no Chinese Women in here

Wait a second

[elder merlin]

Yeah, but Lamb doesnt need to know that

Just lie to him

[sleek harness]

Good thing you prevented me from making a joke

How grateful I am

Uhhhh who we playing with again?

[elder merlin]

I dont know, i wanted to do Havoc again with our original crew

[sleek harness]

@round mica come back Paul 2

[elder merlin]

But @round mica isnt responding

And Enoch is dead

So who knows

[sleek harness]

Enoch sacrificed himself so we could call the Chinese Lover

[round mica]

huh

[sleek harness]

[jovial pine]

[sleek harness]

Hey there Paul 2

You should like

[jovial pine]

im waitin in ms

[elder merlin]

Darktide havoc?

[sleek harness]

Open the game

Like you know

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Everyone

[elder merlin]

You get my dm btw? @jovial pine

[jovial pine]

yes

[sleek harness]

Very suspicious

[elder merlin]

[round mica]

can’t atm, playing helldivers with my other buddies

[modest flume]

[elder merlin]

Join us, Paul 3 @modest flume

[sleek harness]

He dumped us

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Traitor

Didn't even called Paul and he has Helldrivers 2

[modest flume]

Fatshark decided that my ping should be 200 today; I can try but if my dodges are not being honored then no thanks

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Depends on which region you were playing

[modest flume]

We're all on the same planet, evidently it doesn't matter

[elder merlin]

If only

[sleek harness]

Well I mean, its the government making us use weaker internet capacity so that way they could use their powerful ones to strategically communicate

And we won't be able to see that because we only believe that the weaker internet exist

[modest flume]

Maybe you do

[sleek harness]

Anyways I am just distracting yall because its taking too long to open the game

WAIT 15 MINUTES??????

Well, yall can play without me for a while

[tawny hearth]

are you playing on an HDD?

[jovial pine]

wat

[modest flume]

He's on xbox iirc, funny console hijinks

[sleek harness]

I play Darktide using Xbox's powerful open console gaming thingy, Xbox cloud gaming

[tawny hearth]

ohhhh

yeah i could see that doing weird stuff

[sleek harness]

Oh okay I didn't had to wait 15 minutes

Neat

I love being lied to

[elder merlin]

Why did you deny

[sleek harness]

He thought you were one of thoses homeless rejects

Wait are rejects homeless or roomless?

[restive walrus]

Holy shit I did it

Everyone can thank me for the cyber mastiff

[sleek harness]

I would give you a hug but your very visible name says to stay away

Must be because of a Nurgle virus or something

[jovial pine]

could ask you the same thing >:(

[elder merlin]

I accepted your request

The hell you mean

[jovial pine]

i sent you a couple while you were in operative select, i think you just couldnt see them

[elder merlin]

Yeah, cause i was pickin a guy

[restive walrus]

Hah, gae

[restive walrus]

Can I have a hug

[lean moon]

what xenos do you think that the rejects could comfortably fight? genestealers? orks would be too big an orky for 'em i think...tyranids would be bad becuase where theres 1 tyranid theres a trillion

[round mica]

genestealers

cultists in particular actual genestealers would be a miniboss honestly

[lean moon]

yea beccause if a purestrain genestealer can kill space marines in 1 on1 combat

we're fucked fighting them

[thick fog]

Orks when we got Ogryns

[lean moon]

true but the problem with orks is wheres theres one theres a dozen

so it wouldnt just be 1 boy to krump

[thick fog]

They got dozen and we got thousands of our Ogryns

[lean moon]

true but i mean i nthe prospect of a 4 man kill team mission

like if we were scions, sure, but we're just slave prisoners

[round mica]

well if the kill team of vet guardsman trailer is anything to go by it's not impossible to go 1v1 an ork as a human

[fast cosmos]

Depends on the ork

And the human

[thorny cave]

Yeeee some are built different

Some… are meant to be food.. whether corpse starch or orkmeatz

[fast cosmos]

An Ogryn could smash a nob

A squad of Ogryn could smash a squad of nobz.

You'd probably need a few humans to kill a nob though.

It really just depends.

[thorny cave]

Depends on what mini set they trying to sell that month

[fast cosmos]

Ha

[thorny cave]

Lol I remember they had Ragnar black mane I think 1v1 ghazghul when they released his new model a year or two back

Yarrick however I think beat him right?

[fast cosmos]

Yarrick is goated tho

[thorny cave]

And yarrick was just a dude with brass balls pretty much

Idk much about Yarrick outside of the little I know of the wars for aramageddon

[vernal spruce]

I really enjoyed rolling steel i actually wonder if the next mission we’re going to escort a baneblade tank

[thick fog]

Nah we piloting the tank instead

Ogryn should ride one

[thorny cave]

Ogryn should rip the turret off and use it

[sweet wraith]

Tyranid: rips its way through the roof of a truck, hoping to find prey inside
The four heavily-armored ogryns with power mauls, waiting inside the truck: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[fast cosmos]

The four bullgryn already grumpy from riding in a tight space:

[nimble glade]

That would be epic.

[fast cosmos]

"So you've chosen death."

[uncut bone]

Death sentence

[minor narwhal]

if we get 1 more powercreep we can beat up tyranids

[thorny cave]

A man can dream, an ogryn could do

[minor narwhal]

idek how interesting it'd be

they're kinda boring

[hot fjord]

What is Nurgle?

[minor narwhal]

little stinky guy

[nimble glade]

I don't think the Interrogator is bad nor corrupted by Chaos. He's definitely not a traitor.

The Inquisitor on the other hand, very sus.

I'll be very surprised if the Inquisitor doesn't turn out to be a traitor, heretical radical or chaos corrupted or something. Lol

[hot fjord]

Nobody can tell me who is the Nurgle

[minor narwhal]

hes just stinky

[urban valley]

At this point, I'd be surprised if the inquisitor was alive

[minor narwhal]

like really stinky

[hot fjord]

That doesn't help

[tawny hearth]

he's one of the chaos gods, he gives his gifts to people... those gifts are disease mostly... he crafts these gifts in a big cauldren that requires alot of rotting material

[hot fjord]

So his blessing is a disease?

[thorny cave]

Pretty much

[tawny hearth]

mostly

but it can be spread through ideas and not just normal means

so it can be spread through speech and stuff

[thorny cave]

All chaos gods are, are the amalgamation of human emotion turned up to the extreme and they live in a mirror dimension called the warp or immaterium

Nurgle- represents disease, stagnation, apathy and depression

[fast cosmos]

Except Slaanesh

That whore is on the Eldar.

[tawny hearth]

gork and mork are the orks ones as well

[hard gorge]

Doesn't stop humans from powering her/him/it/cum up

[thorny cave]

Eldussy

[fast cosmos]

Chaos gods also represent positive things too.

But the bad outweighs the good.

[round mica]

no they're literally just devils

[fast cosmos]

Not true lol.

[round mica]

t. norscan

[tawny hearth]

they're more complicated than that but they are pretty much mostly bad

like they're kind of past good or evil

they're on their own stuff

[fast cosmos]

Yeah

[hard gorge]

As tzeentch represents schemes, manipulation, and change, he also represents hope. Hope that your lot in life can change, and things can get better

Same with nurgle: death, decay, disease, but also rebirth and the cycle of life (sometimes)

[fast cosmos]

Khorne's a big rage baby but he also has an honor thing.

[tawny hearth]

gork and mork are a representation of the fact that mork is stronger

[hard gorge]

Slaanesh may be hedonism, excess, and whatever horrible things, the prince of pleasure also represents striving to perfection, skill, and improvement

[fast cosmos]

One is brutally kunnin

[thorny cave]

They feed off the good- they just represent excess of whatever emotion they are congealed out of

[fast cosmos]

the other is kunningly brutal

[hard gorge]

And khorne? Martial prowess and honor as well as the old skulls, blood, and war

[hard gorge]

And we still don't know which is which

[fast cosmos]

Ghaz gonna represent on Angron's sorry ass

Once he gets to him

[round mica]

nah, it all gets twisted into something more disturbed because they're devils

[fast cosmos]

[tawny hearth]

don't think gork or mork know either

[fast cosmos]

Man could you imagine Gork and Mork actually manifesting in the warp just to bash the Gods' heads.

That'd be a biblical event.

[round mica]

aos moment

[fast cosmos]

Khorne would love it.

[hard gorge]

However objectively, the best god is the Deus Mechanicus, the Omnissiah, the God of all Machines

[fast cosmos]

aka the emperor

you're so right dude

[hard gorge]

The manly manperor of mankind

[urban valley]

this is void dragon erasure, and I will not stand for it

[fast cosmos]

the void dragon can eat shit

[urban valley]

D:

[fast cosmos]

mechanicus would be on somethin to figure out how to harness that c'tan

[hard gorge]

The c'tan will get enslaved again

[fast cosmos]

today's subject

SLAVERY

[zinc marsh]

Nurgle Gave Me The Bronchitis

[hard gorge]

Humans objectively make the best slaves

[viral vapor]

I wonder why electric bills are so much cheaper in summer than winter. $88. vs. $270

[hard gorge]

The drukhari do it, the orks do it, even fellow humans do it

[formal mortar]

Is it your electric & gas in the same bill? That could be why, that's how it is for me

[zinc marsh]

Do you turn off house heating in summer?

[viral vapor]

Gas? My heating is electric/geothermal

[fast cosmos]

Heat costs more.

[viral vapor]

Oh.

[formal mortar]

Well in the end it's still the same, heat cost.

[fast cosmos]

Takes more energy to produce heat.

[formal mortar]

My gas & electric are on the same bill since we use both where I'm at

[thorny cave]

Nahhh bro everyone knows necrons make best slaves

[tawny hearth]

its more like ac units are kind of a marvel of effiency and pull a trick with some gasses

[zinc marsh]

Also people stay in more during winter so they rack up $$$

[tawny hearth]

and cook more inside during winter with the oven and stuff like that

[fast cosmos]

i mean yeah it's literally because it takes more energy to heat a space than it does to cool it

[zinc marsh]

Tbf cooling is optional based on heat tolerance

-# not for me I'll cook like a potato

[tawny hearth]

lol sometimes not so optional is warm places during the summer

[formal mortar]

What you can in some places is set up Budget Billing or Average Billing, they average out what you use over a period of time and set your bill at that price. Helps with budgeting for the winter

[tawny hearth]

but yeah the easiest way to see why your bill costs more is to watch your own meter and see when you're drawing more and figure out why

[zinc marsh]

Just take off clothes until comfortable/arrested

[formal mortar]

Also if you are gone for the day set your thermostat to keep the house at a cooler temp while you're gone, and to heat up like 30 minutes before you get home

[sleek harness]

Still believes in the Jean stealers

[uncut bone]

[tawny hearth]

those guys need to learn to sew

[fast cosmos]

would be highly unlikely we encounter a purestrain though

we'd have to fight DEEP into a genestealer cult for that

normal genestealers would get fucked on

fucking ugly nerds with vestigial limbs and growths and shit

dumbasses

[zinc marsh]

I swear the psyker stole my jeans and that's why he's got some weird patchwork clothes

[sleek harness]

We all been stealing clothes from the dead

With a price

[elder merlin]

Im goin back to lay down, head hurts @sleek harness @jovial pine @modest flume

[tame hemlock]

ultramarines from SM2 would fold immediately to these cultists. the sad fact most people don't realize

[sleek harness]

Don't feel especial

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Thats alright

Old man

[tawny hearth]

they can't even block cancel (i assume i've never played that game because who wants to play as beakies?)

[elder merlin]

After the days of my youth have passed me by, i certainly feel old

All these years taken and for nothing, i feel drained just waking up

[sleek harness]

Okay you sound like Nic

Stop

[jovial pine]

gotta consume caffeine

[sleek harness]

[elder merlin]

[elder merlin]

Gross

[jovial pine]

why

[elder merlin]

Oh, i thought you said coffee

[sleek harness]

You eating the powder one or the liquid one?

[jovial pine]

i use guarana powder

[sleek harness]

For a moment I heard it as Guarma

You know who else went to Guarma?

[jovial pine]

no

[sleek harness]

Oh okay you are dumb

[tawny hearth]

lol its basically the only option that doesn't come with something that will affect your health more than just the caffeine (as long as its filtered coffee at least)

[elder merlin]

I think i just need to start doing drugs at this point

[jovial pine]

that's what caffeine is

[tawny hearth]

you'll feel even more old lol

[elder merlin]

I'll have to ask my buddy Ryan what he used to take

[elder merlin]

I'll be old either way

[sleek harness]

Dude you aren't a 18 year old

You are like

40 or something

[elder merlin]

Neither was my buddy when he did drugs

Im only 33

[sleek harness]

Close enough

[elder merlin]

Listen, its either drugs or go live in the woods

[sleek harness]

Thats because he is dumb

[elder merlin]

[sleek harness]

Going to ruin his life

[elder merlin]

He stopped a long while back

[tawny hearth]

they got internet in the woods now adays

[elder merlin]

But he is a manager at a pizza joint

I forget what he used to take

I know he still does weed

[sleek harness]

The indigenous people got wi-fi

Whats the silence

[tawny hearth]

lol i was eating pizza and am going to actually play some darktide now

[restive edge]

New class best nade ability, shock trap mines!

[zinc marsh]

They get grenades? I thought only dog, shotgun, shield and mace (/s)

[restive edge]

They showed in the gameplay trailer impact nades and shock trap

[tawny hearth]

you telling me a dog shot this gun?

[round mica]

@elder merlin how was havoc

[zinc marsh]

The one with no UI?

[restive edge]

Yes

Toward the end you can clearly see them used

Threw a couple impacts at the boss after cutting away from the mauler mob rush

[zinc marsh]

I'll directly say using mines would be kino if no timer/time limit

[jovial pine]

now i cant just shoot anything that is dog shaped. now i have to be discerning...

[restive edge]

You can see for a moment a shock trap holding back an entire mob on the stairs too

[restive edge]

No ff so shoot away

[tawny hearth]

at a certain point i'm just attacking movement

[restive edge]

Not like you can kill friendly dogs

[jovial pine]

true but dont wanna waste my time/ammo

[viscid spindle]

I still don't get why servers aren't region locked.

[zinc marsh]

Also ngl
Impact nades sound like it might end up mid outside of spam factor

[jovial pine]

because that is cringe

[zinc marsh]

Like on demand explosion good
But what's the third option

[restive edge]

Region locking isn't useful when there's not enough players to fill a server.

Night queue would be impossible

[viscid spindle]

Region locking is useful to maintain the quality of the game. People in different parts of the world, dont tend to mix that well.

[jovial pine]

that's really stupid

[elder merlin]

Was laggin a bit but otherwise fine, still sick and tired though

[jovial pine]

playing with foreigners is nice

sucks when i have to have 200 ping to do it tho

[zinc marsh]

That's why we have a 50 count block list.
Don't like someone, send em

Simple as

[jovial pine]

i feel like you have to go out of your way to "not mix well" in a darktide game

at least as it relates to your country of origin, ethnicity, and/or culture

[zinc marsh]

Don't like the smyker doing fuck all every encounter but amass 50 fucking ads? Block em. Simple, elegant, beautiful

[grizzled plover]

I want more unashamedly kind dialogue between Zealots and other classes when they think no one is listening

[fast cosmos]

I want..

To brutalize with the Arbites..

[modest flume]

You

[grizzled plover]

Speak for yourself I love playing with people I would otherwise never meet

[viscid spindle]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[jovial pine]

if someone chooses a foreign server and then goes on to be mean in a xenophobic-like way then that person is more the issue than them being from somewhere else

[zinc marsh]

I want the arbites to go on about messy kills before the vet starts whinging about ammo reserves

[grizzled plover]

Incorrect, mine is the correct opinion. I will depict myself as the Chadgryn and yourself as the Soylot.

[grizzled plover]

[upper citrus]

Because why would they

[grizzled plover]

"people in different cultures don't mix" is a cute dogwhistle

[viscid spindle]

Ok, that is very weird, but you can do what you want.

[jovial pine]

it isnt like issues CANT happen but i dont see how that would happen in a darktide game

[upper citrus]

I understand this is a 40k game, but I think you're taking the racist part a bit too serious

[fast cosmos]

what are we talkin about in here

[grizzled plover]

He is the Master of ALL Mankind

[grizzled plover]

Someone is whinging about the game not being region locked

[jovial pine]

what's your experience that makes you want them to region lock the servers? russians?

[upper citrus]

Bro couldn't carry his team and know is mad at the game

[thorny cave]

how did this happen

[grizzled plover]

Dude I love russians but holy shit I have never met a russian psyker that plays worth a damn

[zinc marsh]

Everyone can have an opinion, but shut up, the emperor's opinion is better and he wants another crusade against the filthy chaos cultists

[fast cosmos]

What even leads you to say something like this?

[jovial pine]

russia (and by extension, many russians) is definitely volatile these days. could make sense that an argument might break out

[grizzled plover]

The next racist stereotype will be russians are incapable of magic solely based on their performance as Sienna and Psyker in my experience

[upper citrus]

My best guess is he had a bad match with someone from a different country, and he wasn't good enough to carry them, so now is that persons fault

[viscid spindle]

From what I'm seeing, having my own opinion is currently not allowed, so I don't feel like I should even answer.

[upper citrus]

Your opinion kinda sucks in this context

[fast cosmos]

I'm not even trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely curious.

[grizzled plover]

Hey if you have a valid reason your opinion may be redeemed.

As it stands it comes across as just being a little racist

[fast cosmos]

Why do you feel like people don't mix well if they're from different regions?

[marsh iris]

guys is it pronounced Dark-taid or Dark-tee-deh

[jovial pine]

probably not....if i had to guess. but if someone was being mean and they brought up your foreignness (relative to them) or were otherwise xenophobic then it could be understandable you might feel this way for a bit

[upper citrus]

Are racists opinion on racism ok? Wouldn't think so

[grizzled plover]

Slab please

Guys what if for the next class we get a Lalafell

[zinc marsh]

Dark-cho-co-late

[fast cosmos]

Dunno. Sah told me not ta eat da tidepods.

So I don't eat em

[upper citrus]

You're entitled to having an opinion, but when is a shitty one, don't expect people to tolerate it

[marsh iris]

it's Dark-Tee-Deh right like Ar-Bee-Tees

[grizzled plover]

Damnit my ff14 launcher isn't booting the game

[jovial pine]

no miqotes for you

[viscid spindle]

I've been literally called a nazi just because my Ogryn has the Steel Division outfit, so don't fucking go calling me that shit, I left that match as soon as I could.

[zinc marsh]

No rattling but straight to the Ike's of Final fantasy?

[jovial pine]

meanwhile, your ogryn's name: (insert comedic name that is very german)

[thorny cave]

I call it DANKTEEDIE

[upper citrus]

Hitlah

[viscid spindle]

Crump-er. That is my ogryns name you biased fuck.

[upper citrus]

Xd calm down broski, is a game

[grizzled plover]

I uh... I wasn't calling you a nazi. But you calling the Krieg uniform (which is largely french in design) a Steel Divison uniform is enlightening

[fast cosmos]

LET'S GET READY TO

[zinc marsh]

Not Boris, smh

[fast cosmos]

RUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMBBBLEEEEEEEEEEE

[upper citrus]

Holy shit is John Cadia

[fast cosmos]

idk what steel division even is

[upper citrus]

Did yall see it

[thorny cave]

Is it like long division?

[fast cosmos]

what's division?

[upper citrus]

A mediocre game

[viscid spindle]

What? Have you never seen the Steel Legion outfit?

[marsh iris]

no region lock please because i want to infect people

[grizzled plover]

John Cadia can you fix my internet problems

[marsh iris]

A'VA TASTE FOREIGNER

[blazing hawk]

No

[grizzled plover]

Yeah so, that's also a WW1 uniform. 40k fans are autistic, most of us know the difference

[blazing hawk]

Have you tried throwing cadian soil on it

[fast cosmos]

I'm still curious on why they think people from different regions tend not to mix well.

[grizzled plover]

You know exactly why

[fast cosmos]

I'm an Ogryn.

Do not assume my intelligence.

[minor narwhal]

well ping most importantly

[upper citrus]

Well is obvious, you remember back then when it was OK to treat black people different?

[blazing hawk]

Racism

[zinc marsh]

... Steel legion, are those the industrial looking guys or the ork fuckers in colonial British jerkins?

[grizzled plover]

The way we asked their reasoning and they immediately went crying about how people call them a nazi is so telling

[blazing hawk]

Khaki guys from Armegeddon

[fast cosmos]

Life is simple for a man like me.

[viscid spindle]

Makin this a race issue is a stupid fucking thing, Jesus.

[grizzled plover]

Those are the dudes in the British WW1 uniforms

[upper citrus]

I'm gonna be a dad

[blazing hawk]

The FATHERS of krieg

[fast cosmos]

All of these sociological things don't concern me.

[grizzled plover]

Just explain what your reasoning is, don't be afraid

[jovial pine]

i just want to know why this guy wants to make it impossible for us to play with china bros

[thorny cave]

Just me and my goats that’s it

[fast cosmos]

Exactly.

[upper citrus]

You made it a race thing "people in different parts of the world don't tend to mix that well"

[fast cosmos]

Life is bliss when your head's empty.

[grizzled plover]

Helldivers has convinced me of my brotherhood with Chinese military larpers

My life for Equality on Sea

[blazing hawk]

Chinese players are dogwater though I play in Chinese servers

[jovial pine]

damn...

[blazing hawk]

Either that or the westerners are dogwater too

And I'm the only good vet here

[viscid spindle]

Different cultural behavior, different values etc. Why the fuck would I care where they are from, I care about their character.

[jovial pine]

westerners are also terrible

[thorny cave]

Your the reason cadia doesn’t exist

[fast cosmos]

Checks out, John Cadia.

[jovial pine]

everyone is terrible except me basically

[grizzled plover]

John Cadia what's your opinion on lalafell

[fast cosmos]

Checks out.

[elder merlin]

Can confirm

[blazing hawk]

It's not standing

[jovial pine]

the real divide isnt west vs east

or whatever else

the real divide is console/platform

[upper citrus]

Am i?

[blazing hawk]

The real divide is cadians versus unskilled idiots

[elder merlin]

@round mica tuck me in?

[jovial pine]

at darktide*

[zinc marsh]

Just kick the lalafell.
They're perfect for it

[grizzled plover]

Okay okay but like, what about their character? I'm still confused, most of the world operates with similar values (violence is wrong, other people deserve respect, don't take other people's shit)

[upper citrus]

I'll 1v1 you in balatro

[grizzled plover]

This is the wrong opinion I'm selling you to an Ul'dahn mining camp

[elder merlin]

1v1 me in custom robo

[grizzled plover]

Glory to Nanamo Nanamo

[jovial pine]

if you dont play miqo'te you are playing the game wrong

[fast cosmos]

I take the lalafel and plant it in the soil. Wait for potato to grow.

[upper citrus]

My dog vs yours on the 23rd

[fast cosmos]

I love me spuds.

[round mica]

paul. can’t even load up the game let alone pvp

[zinc marsh]

Lalafell but It's a new ogryn blitz >:)

[viscid spindle]

That's naïve to think. A lot of this world does not operate on similar values.

[blazing hawk]

For CADIA

[elder merlin]

[fast cosmos]

How do you figure?

[marsh iris]

racists let the offendee live rent-free in their head

[elder merlin]

1v1 me in lost plant 2

[upper citrus]

And that's where your racism shows, thanks for proving it

[blazing hawk]

Lowkey china is kinda fucked atm moral wise

[jovial pine]

some cultures do have different morals

[fast cosmos]

I don't know if what they're saying is racist

[jovial pine]

it's not like we just all magically agree on the same things

[viscid spindle]

Welp, I am not a racist, but you are free to believe I am one.

[grizzled plover]

This really feels like repackaged xenophobia. I oersonally interact with mostly overseas bros in most of my hobbies and I have more in common with a chinese person on rednote than I do my boss

[fast cosmos]

They're not mentioning race, but cultures in general.

[upper citrus]

Pretty racist imo, disliking them just cause

[marsh iris]

i cant stand having a tau in my game

[jovial pine]

the problem is that this guy wants to make it impossible for us to play with them just because he thinks, in a video game, we might get into arguments

that's pretty glorped up

[fast cosmos]

It has been my experience that most people want the same things in life. And that most people are friendly when they've got no reason to be unkind.

[round mica]

i’ve played darktide with @viscid spindle and served with him in helldivers and can confirm he is racist torwards me (we are both white)

[grizzled plover]

Yes yes, we've heard it before. "Arabs have a weird culture" or "African culture isn't compatible with western values" I've literally heard these takes from 70 year old customers at my store who call me slurs

[upper citrus]

Lmao

[fast cosmos]

Despite the shit-chatting, I believe that humans are good at their core.

[jovial pine]

you shouldnt

[blazing hawk]

Tofu Dreg in China 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[jovial pine]

humans are just apes that have a mind developed by chaotic forces with no intention towards being good

[hidden trout]

i am the counterargument

[zinc marsh]

They might be a bit stupid but I've dealt with pubs since day one

[upper citrus]

"Back in my days.." ahh message

[fast cosmos]

I disagree. I think that people are inherently good.

[marsh iris]

"western values"

[elder merlin]

Thats wild, i play video games specifically to argue with people

[blazing hawk]

Are we really having nature versus nurture

[elder merlin]

[fast cosmos]

No.

I am an Ogryn.

[lethal solstice]

Imperialism!!!!

[grizzled plover]

Counter argument: One time I complained I didn't have enough to eat lunch at work on my rednote account and a person who's never even met me, across the world, bought me lunch.

[upper citrus]

John cadia, give us your knowledge

[fast cosmos]

I don't know anything about philo..

[blazing hawk]

I am a STURGEON

[fast cosmos]

philo..

[round mica]

chat is turning into real life warhammer 40k

[fast cosmos]

[blazing hawk]

CAVE JOHNSON GO

RELEASE THE SCIENCE

[fast cosmos]

i aspire to be more like the emprah

[round mica]

how did we even get into the topic of racism anyways

[fast cosmos]

personally

[elder merlin]

So is that a no on tuckin me in?

[upper citrus]

WE INVENTED THEM

[round mica]

which one of you mongoloids brought it up

[upper citrus]

ALL BY OURSELVES

[grizzled plover]

Goddamn ff14 wouldn't feel right if I didn't have access to playing a 2 foot tall psychopath that every enemy just irrationally hates

[jovial pine]

it's hard to say whether people are inherently good. it's hard to say that a person is "inherently good" at all.

[marsh iris]

something something region lock

[blazing hawk]

Why are you calling us mongolians

[upper citrus]

The one asking for region lock

[grizzled plover]

Somebody wants to region lock the servers vecause "foreign cultures don't mix"

[blazing hawk]

Coming to think of it I might be related to Genghis Khan

[fast cosmos]

wtf why was that blocked

mongolian

[upper citrus]

Thanks obama

[round mica]

you’re sick i don’t want your pox infestation

[fast cosmos]

that is so weird

[blazing hawk]

Thanks obama

[elder merlin]

[jovial pine]

the mongolian word with the -oid on it is possibly a slur btw

[fast cosmos]

really?

[jovial pine]

not sure how giga woke we are

[minor narwhal]

add an option to region lock to your own house specifically (also called solo mode)

[zinc marsh]

Would you like my bronchitis?

[grizzled plover]

Not even possibly, it IS a slur in the same vein as calling someone oriental

[marsh iris]

humanoid

[jovial pine]

that is different

[grizzled plover]

Used here for educational purposes.

[marsh iris]

✊ 😔

[round mica]

this is a vidya game, we shoot heretics and pray for the emperor, what does this have to do with real life culture

[upper citrus]

What does the Mongolian trapezoid mean

[round mica]

[upper citrus]

Some people are racist by nature

[blazing hawk]

1 in 3 trapezoids are related to it

[grizzled plover]

I dunno man, I like my guardsmen from another continent they're brothers to me

[lethal solstice]

Nothing at all, the person in question was just being weird about it

[fast cosmos]

damn

guess that was blocked too

oh well

[minor narwhal]

not by nature tbh

[blazing hawk]

Thanks obama

[upper citrus]

You know what I meant
