This is the guy

[dense salmon]

TORNADO YOSHIDA

[storm jungle]

dressed up as him in a convention

[storm jungle]

YEP

What a fucking name

[dense salmon]

They named ocelot's guns after him in 5

[wet sandal]

There's no way his name is fucking Tornado

[dense salmon]

I have a jacket with a uh

Foxhound patch on it

Nobody ever notices

[storm jungle]

Which foxhound logo

knife?

[dense salmon]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

Based.

classic one

[dense salmon]

Yeah kill this guy with a thunder hammer, yes arbiter sir right here

SKIBIDI SIGMA GUILLIMAN RIZZING UP ELDARI GYATT YHVRAINNE?? (they had one conversation)

[warm notch]

Ohio moment (Ghoul-lee-man is a heretic)

[arctic talon]

Ghoul man?

[dense salmon]

When the loyalist says something so warpphobic so you hit them with that mutant stare

[molten swan]

Strigoi are some of my favorite vamps for some reason, Ushoran is pretty cool too

[crisp heath]

Upiórs are a personal fave of mine

[wary geode]

3 hours of inquisition

💀

[lapis crane]

Dumb question where is the realm big E soul in the warp?

[dusk patrol]

Not really how the warp works in 40k but also there isn’t one partially cause he didn’t die and he hasn’t ascended.

[lapis crane]

But he did become a god

Because the sister magic shit did happen

And the saint are his demon

So he living god?

[queen laurel]

Average Luetin video

[lapis crane]

I watch adeptus ridiculous

For less sleepy

By no offense luetin is great at this lore stuff but it get sleepy sometimes

[tulip brook]

that podcast can get very wrong and bantering a lot of time

there are so many lore channels now, just pick your poison nws

[wary geode]

yes

[tulip brook]

or better, just read books

[lapis crane]

I know something are wrong during the podcast but it has space abs

Space abs of the world eater ship captain forgot her name

[dusk patrol]

He didn’t as far as we’re aware

Also saints and LotD and stuff aren’t the same as demons and daemon princes

Faith magic stuff in general has some distinct differences

[brisk vine]

Just gotta enjoy Oculus Imperia

[green loom]

It's not clear

Evidently faith in him spawns some sort of power

Though bricky has a bad habit of regurgitating random crap and DK is just pretty stupid

[wet sandal]

Saints as far as I'm aware are actually much more orky manifestations of faith, formed of belief, unlike demons which are basically expressions of the chaos gods

Bottom up versus top down

[green loom]

They also tend to get visions of a frail ma n

Which has become fairly common for emps

But again we dunno for sure how Big E and his god-ness work

[forest orbit]

man, I hate their shitty coomer patreon art promos lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah all of bricky's patreon content is generic anime garbage art lol

[spring cairn]

coom bait sells

we live in a society

[storm jungle]

Truly one of the cooms of all time.

[green loom]

LOoks at Patreon
"They make how much money?"

[storm jungle]

yeah the amount of money bricky makes from patreon is actually depression inducing

[green loom]

Hell at least you can't deny they know who they're catering to

I mean damn

[storm jungle]

Yeah like i love bricky but uh

his way of presenting lore does not really include anything new

[green loom]

I like bricky except when he's doing warhammer

[storm jungle]

so he more or less just sits on his ass and has the other guy react like a toddler to everything and make money off it, wish it was that easy IRL lol

[green loom]

I swear 99% of his charm disappears and he becomes borderline nonverbal

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[green loom]

His script?

His nice explanations?

All that's left is stale memes

[storm jungle]

[lapis crane]

as long as his explain kinda stick to the point 60% i will stay and listen if pure meme gone

18 000 dollar a month? holy shit

[wary geode]

darktide is a game where we operate within a simulated environment produced by a STC AI

[lapis crane]

wish i can make that much in real :v

[crisp heath]

Why would you think this

[lapis crane]

just shock really

[storm jungle]

Yeah welcome to why most of us dont like it

again reminder

all they do is sit and read lore

theres no prep, no presentation, just go through it and make funny reactions

[green loom]

I don't think they even have a vague script

[storm jungle]

Bricky does but its just cliff-notes as he said so himself

[crisp heath]

I'm happy for them. Get that bag video game man

[storm jungle]

yeet

[green loom]

He's on the grind for sure but the guy makes 4 years worth of wages for my family

[storm jungle]

yeah its entirely understandable to dislike rich people

[lapis crane]

well complain not gonna do anything as long as i dont in debt or go hungry i happy

[crisp heath]

I'm sure the patreon ans poster money is shared between all 3 of them, maybe other people if they have any help with production

I can get why people would call 6,000 each a lot, but I don't think adric is making them rich

Honestly they all do other stuff and this is just a side hustle lmao

[lapis crane]

6000 in my country are a lot

[storm jungle]

Its deffo making them rich

bricky spends the first few minutes of every episode begging people to buy merch and it works lol

its the only part I skip

[dusk patrol]

That’s not their sole source of income

And 72k a year starting not including any other projects is really fucking nice

[lapis crane]

well i happy for them, they are intro me into 40k

[storm jungle]

Yeah bricky knows how to hustle his fanbase. They sell cups, t-shirts, even flags.

[lapis crane]

just shock that he make that much

[dusk patrol]

Good for them and all that but yeah they’re doing quite well

[crisp heath]

I'm waiting for them to release a waifu poster i actually like because I feel like my family isn't ashamed of me enough

[dusk patrol]

Even if it was just 6k per that’s enough to live comfortably as long as you’re not an idiot with finances

[lapis crane]

6000 in my country is worth like billion a month

or at least few hunrded million

[crisp heath]

I remember finding out I make more in a month than Turkish doctors make in a year and I don't know if anything else has ever created that mixture of pride in myself and sympathy for others

[storm jungle]

Yeah as a Turk our money is literally worthless

to put it into perspective, steam literally removed our currency

because it fluctuates and changes way too much

LMAO

[lapis crane]

return to lore chat this turn into fiances chanel real quick :v

[spring cairn]

you guys should convert your entire money into dollar overnight that would work i think

[storm jungle]

Aight hold on i got something

[crisp heath]

Oh yeah I know it, I have a Turkish friend who was literally crying with happiness because she got paid in euros for the first time

[green loom]

This is definitely lore

[lapis crane]

so anyone explain to me the timeline of the nexus seri

that is after event of 9th edition ?

[storm jungle]

Good news @soft thunder, new cosmetic sets got some real juicy lore

[storm jungle]

Also yeah basically. With the Imperium on the backfoot.

We are now soon gonna get some continuation to the Pariah Nexus storyline in a more general-perspective since Cawl is going there to sort some shit out

[lapis crane]

the necron really fuck shit up

the death mark really show like in the lore

[storm jungle]

Yeah but in the lore they aren't nerfed.

In the series the Salamander gets very lucky lol

[lapis crane]

and the blue berry boi got kect

that make me happy

[spring cairn]

do we know how the imperium handles oceans militarily speaking

[lapis crane]

sala also did good

[green loom]

Yes

They have navies

[spring cairn]

because i assume the 21st fighting on incron would have to be accompanied by a navy

[green loom]

Iirc you had naval battles on Armageddon

[crisp heath]

Lore deathmarks are probably the best snipers in the setting, tabletop deathmarks are the worst snipers in the game

[storm jungle]

^

They can literally appear anywhere

[spring cairn]

also why use naval ships when you have the uh

flying variety

[green loom]

They're sometimes preoccupied

[crisp heath]

Also because naval battles are cool

[spring cairn]

seems to me like a traditional vessel would be very vulnerable to orbital fire

[crisp heath]

The Imperium just throws whatever it has laying around at planets, they're a horde. Sometimes that includes ships.

[spring cairn]

i guess it could be for cost efficient transpot vessels

[crisp heath]

Also a vessel that can just float in the water can hold the seas better than flying patrols

[lapis crane]

also the lion got quite

after angron fight

[green loom]

Well yeah we haven't had lore on him or friends since

[lapis crane]

but he bet he will rip some head

like some lunatic head

[crisp heath]

If Lion is Arthur, does the Dark Angels have a Merlin?

[green loom]

He's called Ezekiel

[lapis crane]

now with the fallen come back

[green loom]

But it'll probably be some fkn

Risen guy

[lapis crane]

i bet he dont like it

[green loom]

Called "Merolaen"

[lapis crane]

the lion shield i think it is a big E metal thing on his armor no?

[green loom]

That's what it's referencing yes

[lapis crane]

the shield really OP

just bonk everything back

[crisp heath]

Yeah I love how Lion's shield is literally the emperor's tilt plate

[lapis crane]

so the primach if he return maybe covus

to have his claw

he a deamon primach now so it consider heresy right now

[green loom]

Corax is not a daemon

[crisp heath]

I think the current "maybe/maybe not" implication is that Tyberos' lightning claws are Corax's claws from the heresy era

So he'll definitely have a new weapon

[celest dome]

Rogal Dorn maybe, as he is missing that had iirc

[lapis crane]

rogal is high maybe

[crisp heath]

Dorn is definitely getting a power fist

[lapis crane]

he did consider dead

[rocky gale]

I feel bad for the later Primarchs which return, like is the last guy to return just going to get the Emperors hairbrush?

[lapis crane]

more like something in big E vault

[crisp heath]

Russ already has his spear, I do think Corax getting his claw seems pretty likely. I don't know if Emps had some kind of bow, but the Khan with some weird psychic greatbow would look dope.

[lapis crane]

right now the chaos have 3 demon primach

[burnt sky]

Russ will be next back 🤞🏻

[lapis crane]

so the imperrium will have 3 for the balance

dont know who will return

[green loom]

Russ

That or a new Sanguinor

[burnt sky]

Russ or Vulcan at a guess but I’d rather Russ

[crisp heath]

Yeah my guess is Russ next, then Corax so people can run him against Lorgar, then Dorn, then Khan

[lapis crane]

russ also have high chance

[green loom]

It's either Russ or Sanguinor

They have factions

[lapis crane]

vulkan still wwait for respawn time

[green loom]

The rest don't

[crisp heath]

I think Vulkan will be last but it's going to be super hyped up

[lapis crane]

or any GW space marine faction have hight pop rate

[crisp heath]

I would put Corax last, but I think they're going to release him pretty close to Lorgar because that's when he would sell best

[burnt sky]

Logar will run off again if corax showed up 😂

[rocky gale]

I'd imagine Dorn would probably be one of the later ones

[green loom]

I'd expect a new kor phaeron before lorgar

[lapis crane]

that asshole?

he still around?

[green loom]

Yes

[lapis crane]

fuck that asshole

[green loom]

Both he and Erebus are active ATM iirc

[burnt sky]

With the magic that is warp fuckery anything is possible 😅

[lapis crane]

erebus i know he still alive but that asshole for a person i thought lorgar rip his ass

he treated lorgar like shit

[tulip brook]

and lorgar was definitely ok with it

[crisp heath]

I think after Fulgrim is officially on the table in 40k, Lorgar is next

[lapis crane]

fulgrim the sexy snake

he still sad about rylanor

[burnt sky]

https://tenor.com/view/stealth-snake-hidden-sneak-sneaky-gif-19645540

[lapis crane]

so maybe few thousand years

[tulip brook]

I don't think erebus needs to worry about lorgar, he would be wise to avoid kharn

[lapis crane]

also the nid

man the nid just fuck the imperium up

even golden boy have to jump in

[burnt sky]

Silent king got plans to fix that

[lapis crane]

he is

but i looked at the nid map

thing not too good

and the new nid come out

[burnt sky]

He’ll have some super weapon from the war in heaven left that will be last resort that he doesn’t want to use yet is my theory

[lapis crane]

or he just tele into the golden throne

some how bring big E back to deal with the hive mind

[burnt sky]

Possibly yeah, don’t know how well that would go down when tera is flooded with demons when he gets up though

Unless again the necrons have a way to seal the webway

Which they probably do

[lapis crane]

back on cadia the necron did have the pilon

[burnt sky]

Yeah but there for warp rifts not the webway aren’t they?

[lapis crane]

so if somehow the eldar the human and necron combine force and shhut the eyes for good that would be the end game

if they have something in that scale they will have thing for webway

[burnt sky]

For chaos not the nids though

[burnt sky]

I’d love to see how that went down with the inquisition lol

[lapis crane]

they would be fucking piss out of their mind

heresy counter just go off the roof

[burnt sky]

There’d be another civil war within the ordos 😂

[lapis crane]

alway a civil war within the imperium

[sleek wigeon]

maybe ferrus?

but then again he kinda got decaped by his best friend

[lapis crane]

what the fuck is this

[storm jungle]

thats a meme

the actual termie is A BIT more better

[burnt sky]

Tech heresy 😂

[lapis crane]

why is so goffy

[spring cairn]

finally accurate walking tank

[spring cairn]

it's still very gooby

[lapis crane]

now that is more reasonble

[burnt sky]

Salamanders secret termi armour

[storm jungle]

Late but basically everything is vulnerable to orbital bombardment in 40k, the problem is the navy itself. They usually wont want to waste resources on stuff they see as "above" their station, the Imperium's biggest issue is itself where everyone argues and almost nothing usually gets done.

[burnt sky]

Can’t remember if vulkan built it aswell as designed it

[lapis crane]

if cawl make the first version it is true in the lore

[burnt sky]

It’s already in the lore but I can’t remember where I’ve read it 🤔

[spring cairn]

do we have official water navy art

[storm jungle]

We do actually

its in a tyranid warzone supplement

[spring cairn]

i assume it's quite rare

[storm jungle]

but like, its literally just Generic Metal Ship

so ye its nothing important

[storm jungle]

Deeds Endure i think

this terminator mark doesn't even have a name but people have accidentally started calling it the Saturnine armor even though thats not what it is.

[burnt sky]

I know they were going on a suicide mission or something and the salamanders rolled up with that armour

[storm jungle]

yeah its for breaching/bulkhead fighting purposes

[burnt sky]

Yeah that’s it

[lapis crane]

found it the lost data of termi of the golden boy

[umbral nymph]

Kitten lookin like a proud father

[rocky gale]

The Lore tidbit in the Zealots new headgear mentions them installing loudhailers in their rebreathers, so does it also have a voice modulation effect like the Diadem does?

[storm jungle]

Pretty sure its just flavor-text

[rocky gale]

Daww, I like the voice effect

[storm jungle]

I'll give it a test after this maelstrom match

[dire apex]

I’d like to know that as well

My friend was begging me to get the diadem because he loves the way it sounds on male judge and that’s what my zealot is but I don’t like the look of the diadem

[rocky gale]

I love the Diadem, but would be nice to have other options and keep the voice

[soft thunder]

yup it was added to the files a couple weeks ago, saw on reddit and view-all-cosmetics mod. Have they been officially released today?

[storm jungle]

Yep all 4 sets, all got individual lore bits

[soft thunder]

niiice

[storm jungle]

[soft thunder]

can finally join in on my planetside kindred's drip

[storm jungle]

Man I cant wait for you to put this all onto lexicanum then the entire sources list is just cosmetic after cosmetic name

[soft thunder]

I'm still on the lookout for the 13th war of infidus brim and "helemts on - heads on" moebian saying if anyone comes across it.

ya... lol I'm thinking of how i'm gonna do that still lmao the regiments page has almost 30 item descriptions alone. Then there's the luetin video timestamps...

[storm jungle]

Okay so as per lexi

Literally just list every cosmetic source, for the Luetin vid just the whole thing.

You can prob talk it out with the lexi peeps, they are usually pretty chill, and you got literal evidence that half the planet/situation lore comes from these items

[soft thunder]

Ya I'm still double checking thinks on the fandom page first drafts. but ya the lexi peeps are cool, just haven't sat down to put big work in on that yet

[storm jungle]

Yeee it is a lot.

[soft thunder]

the in-game voicelines are the real issue in sourcing lmao

[storm jungle]

That you can also get away with i think

Point out to the credits that this game had 7 Black Library authors working on it. We got one here that also did dialogue work too.

[soft thunder]

so I'm just cataloguing everything i can on the fandom atm, moving onto voicelines now that most items are done. 7 BL authors? I haven't really looked at that yet lol, I'll be sure to add that somewhere

[storm jungle]

Yeah you can go look at the credits + fast forward

[green loom]

Off the top of my head we definitely had Phil, Matt, Abnett and Sarah do stuff

[soft thunder]

explains why the lore and stuff is so well built and in line w/ default imperium stuff all over

[green loom]

Abnett did most of the like

Meat

So to speak

Think GRRM and Elden Ring

Then a lot of others did dialogue

[storm jungle]

Here it is.

also yeah what Ed said

[soft thunder]

ya figured dan did the core world building at least

nice

[storm jungle]

We got extra confirmed information on the 2 week old blog post that uh

Dan also helped with the Carnival maps

[green loom]

Show this to the average Grimdank user and they'll immediately convulse

[storm jungle]

lmao

[queen laurel]

Luetin has more filler than one piece ain't no way

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

M- m- m- Ma- Ma- dies

[soft thunder]

ya I transcribed the parts of the vid that are actually new lore only found in his vid, while it is a decent amount of lore for benchmarking the timeline, it's like 10 mins of talking at most

[storm jungle]

Either way though yeah the lexi dudes basically only care about you having sources, as long as you got evidence they wont climb on your back to demand corrections

otherwise they are extremely chill compared to the wikipedia grognards

[queen laurel]

This Mothafucka can stretch a conversation about 10 ork guns into an hour long video

[storm jungle]

christ

[brisk vine]

6 minutes per gun

[queen laurel]

How

[urban spire]

i do not love luetin

i don't remember specifically why i dislike him

[brisk vine]

Dis 'un shoots lots n' lots n' lots n' lots n' lots n' lots...

...n' lots ov dakka, and dats why I luv it.

[urban spire]

is he one of those people who are weirdly rabid in their anti tau sentiment?

[queen laurel]

For me, it's because he talks for so long that it's actually an attack

Like you can get cc'd by him talking

[storm jungle]

Yeah he got a lot of flak for his tau video which literally was just a 1 hour rant

[queen laurel]

It's not even a joke

[storm jungle]

and then he tried to play it off cool lol

[urban spire]

that'd be why then

[soft thunder]

that's why ppl like him, helps ppl sleep fr lol

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

Hahhahaha

Oh yeah that is

[urban spire]

also i already know most of the stuff he's talking about lol

[queen laurel]

100% right

[soft thunder]

it's literally a youtube lore vid genre feature, no jest

[queen laurel]

It's just that every video it seems like he is doing an assignment to meet a minimum word count of like 1 billion or something

A lot of his videos are an hour long

[storm jungle]

Have you watched his video about the Warp, where he wants to be a nerd and try to explain what it is but instead ends up talking for an hour about basically nothing

[queen laurel]

Don't

[wet sandal]

I used to watch some lore youtubers before I actually read any lore, then after I started reading lore somehow every time any of them talked about the bit I read it was slightly wrong

[urban spire]

i have not

[wet sandal]

I'm now assuming no lore YouTuber has ever said anything true

[queen laurel]

Everytime i remember that i go back and read the end times to get rid of it

[urban spire]

correct assumption

[storm jungle]

They mostly do but its few and far between

some bother some dont

[spice ridge]

Most YouTubers use massive hyperbole or misquotes mixed with old edition stuff

[queen laurel]

Yeah lore 40k is already one hell of a shit show so if i were you try to research it yourself

But there are genuinely good lore youtubers

[wet sandal]

Most lore is old edition stuff so that's less of a problem, but somehow it turns out making engaging content and accurately portraying lore don't overlap much

[storm jungle]

@dire apex @rocky gale bad news, its just the regular gas mask filter

[urban spire]

you know what, good

[dire apex]

Shame, would be cool if they update it to match with the description, iirc the diadem didn’t have that filter to begin with either

[urban spire]

i constantly mistake the weird vox filter zealots for an elite or special voice

[dire apex]

It does make make male judge in particular sound like a mauler yes

[brisk vine]

I will continue to watch Oculus Imperia

Less lore unpacking, more in character retelling of existing material.

[rocky gale]

That's a shame, but thanks for letting me know

[vagrant fox]

Baldermort strikes me as good fun

[soft thunder]

aw shit new vox intercept drop

KRUBAAAAA

i think

w8 no thats morrow..

[storm jungle]

Yeah Morrow/Rannick talking about Zola being sus

[queen laurel]

So much for the price of loyalty huh

[soft thunder]

the way he says, emperor protects at the end reminds me of the fanatic zealot initiating conversation about rannick not being a man of faith. Can't remember the quote though

[storm jungle]

also like

"Swore she had your full authority."

"Oh did she now?"

[warm notch]

Wait is Rannick close in rank to Morrow?

Or does he address Morrow as “sir” more out of respect than obligation

[storm jungle]

Bruh hes literally in charge of the entire operation

[warm notch]

Ohh

True

I stupid

[storm jungle]

same

[warm notch]

https://tenor.com/view/sadcat-gif-25701972

[spice ridge]

Inquisition ranks are kinda weird but yea Rannick is most likely technically the highest ranking person on board the mourningstar

If you don't count the shipmistress, I guess? Maybe?

[warm notch]

Rannick is inquisitor Jr.

[spice ridge]

Less in the chain of command and more just the one in charge of the ship itself

[storm jungle]

There is a chain of command.

Most Inquisitors/retinue members attune to that

[warm notch]

God the game needs like an in-game codex or some shit

[soft thunder]

rannick is basically grendyl until grendyl has to deus ex machina into the plot

[warm notch]

Just somewhere to aggregate the flavor text

[spice ridge]

Yea Rannick essentially has Grendyl's authority until stated otherwise

[storm jungle]

Jackie put it best, an Interrogator is literally a Junior Inquisitor

[green loom]

It's a formality

[soft thunder]

i think savant has a line where she says atoma is a test for rannick

[warm notch]

But Morrow is technically Rannick’s superior?

[green loom]

"sir" isn't always used for a superior

[warm notch]

Or the other way around

Ah okay

[soft thunder]

like atoma is a small part of grendyl's grand plans he's do big things out elsewhere probably, galaxy on fire all that. Grendyl just want to make sure supply chains are working on the domestic side and rannick is cleaning up the house

[storm jungle]

^

Basically uh

imagine a company boss

and he assigns a manager to oversee a certain office floor

that is what Rannick is

[spice ridge]

Inquisitors do have ranks but usually they're kind of 'above' most guard elements so I wouldn't say Morrow outranks Rannick even if he's the one more directly in charge of the military elements at their disposal

[storm jungle]

yeah no he doesnt

Rannick's authority is absolute

its why you can see Zola lie about having Rannick's permission going planetside

[warm notch]

So the “sir” is just because Morrow has SEEN some shit

And he respects that

[spice ridge]

Rannick is just being polite

[warm notch]

Ye ye

[spice ridge]

Inquisitors like being fake-nice

Until they get to torture you

[soft thunder]

rannick is a senior apprentice inquisitor and zola is a brand new green baby apprentice inquisitor

[celest dome]

Grendyl (Inquisitor) > Rannik > Zolla > Melk and Morrow (Primes)
Hadron i think is a difficult character to put on a hierarchy level

[warm notch]

Wdym

Hadrons always been there

Came with the ship

[dusk patrol]

Zola Melk Hadron and Morrow all basically have the same rank it seems

[warm notch]

Rogue Trader doesn’t even know what her deal is

[dusk patrol]

Just different roles

[warm notch]

./s

[soft thunder]

nah she w/ the grendyl's crew.

[dusk patrol]

They’re “officers” within the warband

[storm jungle]

This yeah

Inquisitor retinue members usually outrank most goons because you are a part of the Boss Crew.

so you got some authority to order people around since you are above the rabble

[dusk patrol]

Interrogators are always second to the Inquisitor

[celest dome]

Then she would be part of the Rogue Trader retinue

[storm jungle]

yeah the Interrogators are the lap-puppies

[warm notch]

I’m kidding lol

[storm jungle]

its why Rannick is also arrogant as shit

[warm notch]

It’s like the Betty White joke where “she’s always been there”

[dusk patrol]

But, that doesn’t mean they can always tell the other dudes what to do, but in this case it seems Rannick is in charge of the ship and operators or less

[soft thunder]

Brahms hates rannick based on future dialogue, since she has history w/ grendyl she sees him as an annoying baby weasel inquisitor compared to big papa

[queen laurel]

Yeah but still more tolerable then leandros the nerd marine

[dusk patrol]

But obviously they trust Morrow and everyone else to do their jobs

[warm notch]

Rannick sussus amogus

[storm jungle]

man why do I hurt myself and look at comments

these people need to touch grass

[warm notch]

Those are definitely words

Do they have meaning? Who can say

[dusk patrol]

I know all those words, but arranged in that order, they’re a mystery

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

Mate these guys make Jackie appear proper and civilized ( no offense Jackie )

[warm notch]

Fuck you that just means I need to be even more of a degenerate

[celest dome]

Who even is Thunderpsyker

[storm jungle]

A random 40k youtuber that voices the main custodian on the TTS show

[vale fjord]

You mean kitten?

Cuz im like catching up with that

[celest dome]

Oh I never knew their names exept for Russ I think
Zoran the bear

[storm jungle]

lmao fair

[storm jungle]

Yep him

[vale fjord]

Gotta love a custodian named kitten

[queen laurel]

Eh you can't possibly go even deeper into the degenerate hole

[warm notch]

True

My weakness is having morals and basic decency

This is so sad

[vale fjord]

[green loom]

NGL I can hear it

[queen laurel]

You do not want to be on the same brainwave as those guys on the comments

[warm notch]

Trust me they wouldn’t want me neither

[warm notch]

“Fascism is murder” is kinda redundant but I get the point

[vagrant fox]

me as the pogchamp for real for real

[storm jungle]

The fact that GW had to come forth and say these itself is hilarious tbh

The hardcore imperial fanbase is usually about as blind as actual fascists 💀

[warm notch]

God I love the Imperium of Mankind

We should organize society in a similar fashion irl

It would go SO well

[tulip brook]

they made a space fascist parody setting and obviously attracted all the fascists. 🤷

[spare osprey]

I mean Y’know how it goes. More you leave it to “subtext” (which isn’t even a good point in terms of 40k cause everyone is actively the worst) more dum dums you’ll get

[alpine ingot]

Fromsoft fans waiting on a Vaatividya video explaining the lore of the game also agrees

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[warm notch]

This is so true

Destiny 2 kinda did the same thing for a little bit

[tulip brook]

to be fair, fromsoft lore is in the game, you just gotta read every single item description no biggie hmm hmm

[warm notch]

MFW important Uldren Sov lore was locked behind a cash shop item

[vagrant fox]

they did what

[alpine ingot]

really...

[warm notch]

Eh “important” is subjective

[vagrant fox]

What season was that?

[warm notch]

So like

After it was revealed he was brought back as a guardian

We literally didn’t know what he was up to for a while

A Christmas cash shop item revealed what he was up to lol

In the flavor text

[vagrant fox]

Ah I wasn't there for that Christmas, that's funny

[compact kelp]

Here's me remembering that in order to get even the slightest hint of a story from games growing up, I had to read the booklet in the PS1 game case

[alpine ingot]

not like I massively care anymore since I checked out between warmind and forsworn or whatever that dlc was.

[tulip brook]

I'd LOVE games came with a massive pdf booklet explaining the lore

now they sell those as DELUXE edition

[vagrant fox]

I checked out completely the season before Lightfall, I still can't even think about D2 without feeling like I'm about to fall asleep

[warm notch]

The last season I fully participated in was when Based 14 came back

After I learned they were sunsetting my favorite bow I checked out

I spent so much time grinding Gambit

[vagrant fox]

I remember thinking the booklet for Tiberian Sun being the coolest thing

[warm notch]

God I love old man yaoi

Destiny is so based for that

[compact kelp]

Remember when PC games came in a giant box

[alpine ingot]

Then you'd love Arcanum, the pdf that comes with the game gives a lore and context to the game... also it has a really good banana bread recipe in it.

[vagrant fox]

The amount of times I did that stupid Pit of Heresy to get the flawless solo emblem, listening to My Name is Byf

[tulip brook]

so perfection exists

[alpine ingot]

Arcanum is old.

[warm notch]

I remember finishing Shadowkeep and was like

“That’s it?”

[vagrant fox]

Good old Arcanum, Tim Cain has a youtube channel and just today he uploaded a video where he made it run natively on Win10

[warm notch]

Forsaken was literally peak

[vagrant fox]

It was uphill to Forsaken and downhill from there, oh well. I just keep tabs on the story now

[rocky gale]

Forsaken was cool, I sure hope it's still there so that I can go back and play it again someday.

[vagrant fox]

I haven't checked but I figure they sunset it

[rocky gale]

Oh yea it's gone, they removed it over a year ago

[alpine ingot]

Primary reason I really do not want to go back to Destiny is because of that fact. I really do not like old content getting archived and taken out.

[rocky gale]

I love it when they remove the DLC content you paid for from the game

[alpine ingot]

you paid $20-$40 for

[vagrant fox]

very cool. What killed it for me was every single season being the exact same except for the coat of paint

It started feeling like I was running in circles

[vagrant fox]

Thinking about this, how do you read thousands of souls sacrificed each and every single day, child brainwashing and body augmentation, complete disregard for logic and reasoning and think hell yeah that's my kind of society

[rocky gale]

I liked that there was a point a couple months ago where Destiny was using footage from Forsaken to advertise the game on Twitter and the Community user notes added "This content is no longer part of the game" after each video.

[storm jungle]

Same way IRL fascists do it, “its for the greater good/our faction” or “Us vs them” or “You are with us or against us.”

These people are genuinely brainwashed by thinking the Imperium is a “good” alternative to anyone in 40k and its scary

[warm notch]

An entire society built on the maximization of human suffering

[storm jungle]

^

[warm notch]

“Oh yeah my type of civilization!”

[storm jungle]

Its just horrifying

[vagrant fox]

It's just not a mindset I can get into, a good thing I suppose

[storm jungle]

That means you are a smart and good person lol

[vagrant fox]

Imperium is my favourite because of how awful it is 💪

[storm jungle]

Best take

[warm notch]

It means you have basic human empathy

Which most of the internet lacks UwU

[vagrant fox]

uwu to that

[storm jungle]

The cartoony villainy is the point yeah lmao

[median marsh]

i like designs from imperium but i feel about it the same way Guiliman felt when he got woken up

"what the fuck did you do"

[alpine ingot]

Isaynder and Koda said it best in a video, 40K is great because everyone is the villain so no one has to feel bad about being the bad guy.

[median marsh]

"just burn this shit down holy fuck"

[warm notch]

“It’s only been 10,000 years how much damage could’ve been-“

https://tenor.com/view/community-donald-glover-troy-barnes-fire-flames-gif-4066536

[median marsh]

"Surely they didnt completely annihilate fathers intended ima- what the fu-"

[vagrant fox]

I love Krieg because it's the logical extreme of the Imperium, complete dehumanization of an entire society so they only live to die to kill the other guy
Unfortunately, there's the shovel boys

[warm notch]

What if Big E was dark skinned

[median marsh]

memes are honestly one of the absolute worst aspects of 40k

[warm notch]

But just like irl whitewashing Jesus they whitewashed him on art

[jade holly]

He most likely is, apparently he’s of Turkish descent?

[median marsh]

so like Jesus?

[warm notch]

Yes

[vagrant fox]

Turks didn't live in Anatolia when Big E was born

He's most likely pre hittite, but still dark skinned I figure

[median marsh]

Emps can (or rather could) change what he looks like on a whim but iirc sisters of silence can actually see his true form

[jade holly]

Fun fact about that actually: he was depicted white so more indo european nations would convert to Christianity

Hell I’ve seen Jesus depicted in almost every way imaginable, even multi armed Hindu Jesus

However the Hell that works

[median marsh]

so he has some definite true self which we may never see

[warm notch]

That’s cool

[vagrant fox]

It is what it is, religions and cultures adapt to each other. I did see a Korean depiction of Jesus in, well, Korea

[warm notch]

Guiliman seeing his father whitewashed

[vagrant fox]

Just as Lorgar intended, the most villainous thing he did

[jade holly]

It’s over Emperor, I already depicted you as a clean shaven white man savior

[vagrant fox]

Isn't there still some debate about that? I saw a lot of discussion about it but I haven't kept up

[median marsh]

"You are too late Father! i have already depicted myself as a soyjack and you as a Chad God"

[vagrant fox]

Maybe Lorgar is based after all

[jade holly]

Ngl there’s people who can pull off being clean shaven and people who cannot, and vice versa of people who cannot pull off facial hair and people who can

[median marsh]

sentences that induce physical pain

[jade holly]

Imagine Vulkan with a beard

[median marsh]

i wonder if Salamander beards would be fireproof

[jade holly]

Probably

[median marsh]

Vulcan desperately trying to work the forge AND make sure his beard doesnt burn

[vagrant fox]

Surely they keep trying to grow beards but they burn off, that's why they're always bald too

[jade holly]

They’d probably grow extremely dense hairs

[warm notch]

What if Jesus is always depicted as with a beard because he has a severe case of baby face

[jade holly]

Definitely not

[dire apex]

Iirc there was no intentional manipulation of christ’s appearance for race appeal, every culture just depicted him as what they look like because that’s what they know

[jade holly]

Shaving was not a common thing at that time tmk

[warm notch]

What

?

Where did that come from

[celest dome]

@storm jungle ?

[jade holly]

Maybe it was actually idk

[vagrant fox]

I don't know about that one

[warm notch]

Oh no you pinged the moderator

[jade holly]

The shaving thing

[warm notch]

You’re going to be sent to the shadow realm

[jade holly]

Not that… whatever the fuck that is

[celest dome]

No RL politics

[warm notch]

I know lol

[storm jungle]

Christ lol

I was having dinner 💀

[jade holly]

Definitely was the case to get the Russians on board with Jesus tmk

[tulip brook]

he wasn't always depicted with beard

[jade holly]

Shaved Scottish Jesus

[warm notch]

Jesus he does have a baby face

Look at his rosy cheeks

Ok now I see the appeal

[vagrant fox]

I love manbaby Jesus

I want the Big E depicted like this officially

[jade holly]

When can we get bearded depictions of the Emperor

[near wasp]

And hide his immaculate jawline

Thats heresy

[warm notch]

What if Big E was more akin to an Ogryn

In appearance

🤨

I wonder how the imperium would implode from that revelation

[jade holly]

What if we finally see the Big E for real one day and it’s just Ron Swanson

[vagrant fox]

On Ogryn planet Rok there is an immaculately depicted version of the Emperor in ogryn form

[warm notch]

Oh my god that’s amazing

We need catboy Jesus now

[jade holly]

No

[warm notch]

Felinid Big E when

[compact kelp]

Love me emprah

[winged jacinth]

Further evidence for my theory that ogryn are the next step in human evolution

Oops ping

Smart psyker ogryn are human krorks

[tulip brook]

we had one instance of ogryn being psyker first then getting smarter and we got another instances of ogryns being made psykers but they only punch harder and not that smart

[dusk patrol]

Also to be clear

She was smarter

She was still pretty basic by human standards

[sterile sun]

where zola goin

[soft thunder]

reasonably: grabbin' that dang ol' wolfer. Unreasonably: to the 2nd hive city

it's fluff setup for the next part of the carnival

so we will know soonish

[sleek wigeon]

zola hunting for that bomb ass cadian loud

[soft thunder]

probs hunting the karnak twins? who knows

[sleek wigeon]

but in all seriousness, her ass getting captured or capped

[jagged monolith]

Zola stole my jeans

[soft thunder]

wouldn't mind having a new mission type. rescue/escort. maybe we save zola, another officer, or a moebian 21st squad and take them back to extraction. Unlike in vermintide where u open a cage for the peasants to wade through a horde a skaven and warpfire throwers lol

[sleek wigeon]

true, my pair of vintage levis are gone

imagining zola looked at commissary
"600k for those pre-scuffed munitorum mids? Rannik is out of his mind."

[warm notch]

Do you think Zola has personal stakes? Could explain why she’s so obsessed with finding Wolfer.

Maybe it’s her brother lmao

[jagged monolith]

I sure do love the ancient Levi Guild, circa M2. My absolute favourite breeches merchants

Wait Levis are probably older

[sleek wigeon]

I'm guessing she was some kind of sarge/capt in the moebian 6th and she's big mad at Wolfer for turning her boys to chaos

[warm notch]

When she addresses wolfer aboard the Tancred Bastion (in the prologue) she made it extra clear to the prison guard not to harm him since he was to be interrogated by Rannick

It could also read that she didn’t want him to come to harm generally 🤷‍♂️

[sleek wigeon]

gonna lmao if it was a long con and Zola was really the traitor

but considering she's an explicator, probably not

[warm notch]

Also if you notice she was left on the floor with a sword through her shoulder around other guards

It can be reasonably assumed that she was spared

Probably

Maybe I’m just talking out of my ass lol

[sleek wigeon]

nah

that and her going off alone seems like a good setup to have her be the traitor
what if we're the one with the missing link?

saving her on the bastion?
she's the only one who lived (with us ofc) and we find her after being attacked.
they kill her homies and stage it to look like she survived with a major injury

nurgle/tzeentch tag team shit

[warm notch]

That seems like an awful lot of trouble

Wonder what the “traitor’s curse” title of the update is referring to

Since the vox broadcast is making it seem more like it’s towards Zola

[crisp heath]

We know Zola has secrets because the psycher mentions it

People thought she might have been a genestealer when that was still a theory.

So she's definitely always been dubious

[arctic talon]

tbh what the secret she's carrying is, is the real question

could be innocuous

[crisp heath]

True

Very true

[arctic talon]

but it could also be super dangerous lol

[crisp heath]

No such thing as innocence in 40k

[warm notch]

Familial ties with Wolfer

Maybe she’s trying to convince herself it’s the right thing to do to put him out of his misery as he’s a heretic

And that’s what her internal struggle is

[arctic talon]

"innocence proves nothing" -

[crisp heath]

Lol that's the quote

[arctic talon]

Indeed it is

[crisp heath]

I wonder if it will apply to Zola

[warm notch]

Eh she’s a higher up

She’ll be fine

If there’s one thing the Imperium loves it’s hypocrisy

[crisp heath]

But yea. When we found her with a knife in her shoulder literally pinned to a wall. That kinda implies she was left there. So she definitely was spared. The question is WHY? Is it because she's a double agent? Or is it because of some close familial or friendly relationship to a traitor? What lead to her being left there for us to find, and how will it impact the future of the story

[warm notch]

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN

And it seemed she was concerned for Wolfers safety at the beginning

[crisp heath]

And it doesn't really matter how high up you are in the CoC. Genestealers actively try to recruit from officials, and it's not exactly unheard of for Inquisitors or their retinue to fall under the big 4's influence

[warm notch]

Maybe the “traitor’s curse” is having a conscience lmao

That’d be really on the nose and tragic

[dusk patrol]

Heh

High up in the CoC

[warm notch]

Corruption of Champions?

[crisp heath]

Chain of Command....@dusk patrol @warm notch

@celest dome

[dusk patrol]

Yes I know I’m being an immature 12 year old

[crisp heath]

Oh... lol ok

[dusk patrol]

High on the CoC sounds funny

[viral yacht]

what level of psykers are the rejects in darktide considered to be?

[soft thunder]

yes

[viral yacht]

[celest dome]

Zeta/Epsilon probably, higher than Wyrdwane but less than Primaris

[dusk patrol]

Quite powerful tbh

Combat psyker are already rare

Once that do what ours do is pretty extreme. Not quite primaris but yeah

[viral yacht]

would daemonhosts be a bit... troublesome for said psyker then?

[arctic talon]

Depends on what daemon got shoved into said host

[dusk patrol]

Varies yeah

And how they’re bound and all that

[dense salmon]

Daemonhosts vary in strength

The daemonhost we see in darktide seems to be actively subduing the daemon

Given they aren't initially hostile and their idle lines

Eisenhorn treats daemonhosts like pokemon but he's eisenhorn

[dusk patrol]

They stronger they’re bound the weaker the host too

Due to the daemon not being able to flex its power fully

And obviously you need a strong daemon for their power and host to survive as a host

A living host which is what it seems the DT one is, is not ideal because they can fight back

Or hinder the daemon

[burnt sky]

He’s a legend is what he is lol

[storm jungle]

And GW deemed this well enough to be put in the game

so uh, you know how it goes

[dense salmon]

Yeah radical inquisitors would probably treat a daemonhost like we see in darktidr as an asset

Grendyl SEEMS radical but we don't know much about them

[storm jungle]

Grendyl's just a lil guy

[dense salmon]

Maybe the real grendyl was the friends we made along the way

[storm jungle]

🙏

[warm notch]

So true

[dense salmon]

Imagine a twist where rannick is the actual inquisitor and uses the grendyl persona as a proxy

I would hate it but it would be funny

[storm jungle]

Lmao i wish

[arctic talon]

I like Rannick

Sorta

He’s seems very archetypical interrogator

[storm jungle]

Yeah he reminds me of a manager i once had

you know, a cunt

[dense salmon]

I love rannick too

He would buy a tesla and brag about it if he were real

[arctic talon]

Lol real

[storm jungle]

LEGIT

[arctic talon]

He seems like that sort of person

But it really fits his uh

Attitude I guess?

[dusk patrol]

Tbf just cause they’re radical doesn’t mean they’re ok with daemon host usage

There’s different kinds of radical inquisitors

[dense salmon]

Lol

I love that little frog

But yeah that's fair enough

But a radical inquisitor might use a daemonhost where a puritan would absolutely banish it

[storm jungle]

Yeah a Radical can range from like

• Constantly using daemonhosts

to

• "OH MY GOD HES BEING A SENSIBLE PERSON, GET EM"

because half of the Puritan ideal is literally being a school teacher, so you know kinda useless and just paid to be a glorified Yes-person

[dusk patrol]

Also, I don’t think any radical inquisitor would be down with chaos using daemonhosts against them

[storm jungle]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[shadow plover]

[dusk patrol]

They’ll use them, but the enemy?

Now that’s heresy

I’m different, I definitely won’t be corrupted by this

[vale fjord]

What are the chances of warp jumps taking away your sanity

[dusk patrol]

5

[vale fjord]

5%?

[dusk patrol]

No just 5

Sometimes 7.3

[vale fjord]

Hmmm

[arctic talon]

At least 3

[vale fjord]

Alright

[arctic talon]

Unironically

Who knows

[dusk patrol]

Depends on how your thetans are looking

[vale fjord]

Cuz I keep hearing about how bad warp jumps are (yes I know why) but I'm curious as to how often a human goes insane after a warp jump

[dusk patrol]

It’s not common but it is stressful

[vale fjord]

Atleast them orkz have fun warp jumping

[dusk patrol]

Bad dreams, or can’t sleep, spooky shit happens

[arctic talon]

Going insane isn’t likely

Tbh

It’s just miserable

24/7

[dusk patrol]

Casualties do go up but it’s mostly due to stress and shit malfunctioning

[dense salmon]

Rannick will stare at an ogryn player like this wondering if they're the traitor

[vale fjord]

I'm surprised he was convinced

An ogryn man

[shadow plover]

I'd wager warp caused incidents in the 40k galaxy are as common as car accidents in ours

[dense salmon]

Im convinced the whole level 30 ceremony was an elaborate troll

[dusk patrol]

“Can this abhuman with the intelligence of a 5 year old who can’t write be behind all these chaos writings?”

[arctic talon]

It was

I’m 99% sure he knew already

[dense salmon]

Like he knew for certain the zealot lady was the traitor but wanted to fuck with her

[arctic talon]

Yeah

It absolutely was

To just fuck with her lol

[dusk patrol]

If it’s Ogryn he’s just really fucking with her

[vale fjord]

I was gonna say lol

[dusk patrol]

Seeing how dumb she is

Quite dumb apparently

[vale fjord]

Out of all the other rejects that was saved

She chose an ogryn

[dusk patrol]

Mfw I thought it was a good idea to work for Chaos on an Inquisitorial ship while blatantly leaving chaos ritual breadcrumbs and tried to frame an Ogryn as the one doing it

[vale fjord]

Literally

Well atleast they convinced her to work for the emperor

as a servitor

[dusk patrol]

Wish she’d work for the Emperor by updating her damn stock more

[vale fjord]

True that

More weapon color skin I want BLACK

[dense salmon]

I swear one of the servitors wiping the floors does like

A frustrated shrug and headshake every once in a while

They turned them into one of those sisyphus bots that permanently cleans oil it's spilling out

[warm notch]

And it’s like

Does sentencing someone to eternal damnation like that

Does that really increase efficiency

Or are they just being cruel for the sake of being cruel

[dense salmon]

Both

[warm notch]

Doesn’t seem really efficient

[dense salmon]

AI is technoheresy

[arctic talon]

No robots

Servitors = robots

Just grosser and more horrifying

[dense salmon]

So servitors like cherubs, servitors, and servoskulls are like

The thing that fill that role

Cherubs are a little different because in current lore they're kind of mindless flesh golems before they are made into servitors

They are cloned for the purpose of being cherubs

So they aren't made as punishment

[soft thunder]

Seemed like a theatrical show of force by Rannick to show how traitors will be treated, shot and turned into semi-sentiant servitors. As a warning and stuff to loyal acolytes, and any other traitors or would-be traitors abourd the Mourningstar.

[dense salmon]

Tbf not all servitors are made as punishment

Sometimes servitors are just needed

[celest dome]

Vat Grown

[dense salmon]

Vat grown, cloned

Tomato tomato

[celest dome]

I think there is a difference, in setting

[dense salmon]

Fair enough

[soft thunder]

one man's tomato is another man's potato, in the end they are all vegetables

[dense salmon]

Castellan robots definitely skirt the line here

[arctic talon]

Kastelan robots are def straight up robots lol

They’re sapient

[dense salmon]

Mechanicum jumping through hoops to justify their creations

[arctic talon]

Just controlled by wafers

[tulip brook]

clones in the setting get don't last long, get very unlucky whatever... I think GW just wants to distance w40k from starwars in that regard

[arctic talon]

Only people who are good at cloning are bile

And the votann(sorta)

And the votaan clones are designer babies and less so clones

[dense salmon]

Doesn't cawl have clones?

[arctic talon]

No

As far as we know

He vatgrows a lot though

[tulip brook]

he has -definitely not ai- the cawl inferiors

[arctic talon]

The Cawl inferiors are just straight up AI lol

[warm notch]

Wait wouldn’t clones be seen as heresy depending on who you ask lol

They’re not made naturally

But, then again, the Imperium has a lot of “it’s heresy but it’s useful” type shit that they bend over backwards to justify

[dense salmon]

Its not outright heresy but it's frowned upon because cloning is imperfect and has a higher likelihood of mutation

[soft thunder]

Imperium seems ok w/ vat-grown ogryns, and other abhuman i assume

[dense salmon]

The imperium doesn't need clones either

Since humans are the overwhelming galactic majority and have no issues reproducing

[arctic talon]

Vat growing is how the admech have kids

[tulip brook]

imperium is ok with a lot of things depending on who is crossing the line

[arctic talon]

tech priests can grow their own kids

Or just mass produce more workers

[dense salmon]

There's a story of uh

[arctic talon]

Soldiers, Ect.

[dense salmon]

A tech priest who cloned himself

But the clone was female

Which would be considered a mutation

But instead of killing it he raised it like a daughter

But the monks of the mechanicum who still have their bits will still have children the natural way

[warm notch]

Huh

That can’t be pleasant

I just imagine metal scraping against metal

Or a hammer against an anvil

[arctic talon]

Tbf most tech priests don’t have those bits anymore

[warm notch]

But the possibility that there are some that do have those bits

https://tenor.com/view/metadrageth-gif-26450993

Idk why the nail says ban

[celest dome]

[tulip brook]

magos biologis generally augment themselves with organics

chances are, there are some tech priests with huge...

[warm notch]

You mean to tell me the Imperium of Mankind has complete control over stem cells yet they can’t account for eventual decay lol

[arctic talon]

Muscles

[warm notch]

I wonder if it’s realistic that stem cell treatment would eventually grow less effective over the centuries

Ah well it’s SF bullshit

[dusk patrol]

We do see Tech Priests have romantic relationships

[warm notch]

Them bitches gay

. . . Good for them . . . Good for them.

[dusk patrol]

So it’s not impossible

How much they cut off their emotions and physical body varies a lot

And we’ve seen several have a parental feelings towards their creations

[dense salmon]

You gotta remember that they're still human

Not full borg

[dusk patrol]

Whether it’s their Skitarii, children, or whatever

A big point of the Forges of Mars books and the Cawl books is to show the variety within the Ad Mech of schools of thought

[storm jungle]

If you want a much shorter showcase you can also always look at the Mechanicus game too

that game has like every type of Mechanicus Character 101 personality

[dense salmon]

The cain books also have colorful varieties of techpriest

[storm jungle]

Fucking dipshit lmao

[tulip brook]

Even dark mechanicus guys occasionally show some empathy:

‘If we are not allowed to dock, to use Nostraman parlance, that would be very... unlucky.’

The word felt unclean and uncomfortable. He immediately wished he’d not vocalised it, and responded in two ways. The first was a human tic of sorts, a motion of pointless reassurance that felt intriguingly mortal to indulge: he pulled his robe tighter around his skeletal frame, as if cold.

He was not cold, of course. Deltrian had removed the capacity to register temperature against his epidermal surfaces, and only tracked such variances with detached measurements from thermal signifiers in his fingertips.

The second reaction, taking place in the very same split second, was to dump the word from his short-term memory with a calculated data-purge.

It worked, though. Talos smiled at the tech-adept’s attempt at humour, and silenced the warriors with a soft, ‘Brothers, enough, please. Even the tech-adept of the Machine-God looks awkward to witness yet another family argument.’

[arctic talon]

it really covers the whole breadth of how tech priests act/interact with each other lol

especially with others they see as "lower rank" as well

I.E Kehpra and Tiresus getting cut off or overruled

Shame Tiresus ||dies horrifically|| if you let him actually pursue what he wants

I don't care what bardin says I trust an elgi that clings to a tree more than the plunderers from naggaroth even if athel loren is a mini nation of hitlers at the best of times

[urban spire]

i hate that i understood that whole entire sentence

i'm a fucking nerd

[storm jungle]

I mean Bardin jokes most of the time

High Elves are literally half the reason the Old World prospered the way it did

not to mention the fucking Vortex that keeps chaos out

[echo vault]

It's great to see the two of them get along it makes kerillian much more interesting since they share things in common being similarish roles even if waystalker is a bit different than a ranger

[dusk patrol]

Tbf they’re also responsible for a lot of the fuckery

The Elgi giveth and the elgi takeith

[storm jungle]

Eh not as much.

A lot of the issues in Warhammer Fantasy is just chaos' own fault.

Fatshark deffo did a W with the way they made Bardin, he could have been an annoying ass rockbrain dwarf but hes the exact opposite and very likable without being mean-spirited constantly.

[arctic talon]

God why do I understand that

[dusk patrol]

Sounds like you’re guilty of hanging around a very handsome Dari

[echo vault]

even when they whip themselves into an argument they still geniuely respect each other which is cool, plus they both probably like to diss Caledor II as every dwarf and elf should

[storm jungle]

LEGIT

[arctic talon]

The only time they don’t is when Kerellian brings up the topic of why he’s wandering around

Mostly since ~~she’s an idiot for choosing to bring that up ~~

[dense salmon]

This isn't related to lore but the character design of vermintide is impeccable

So simple but so iconic, even people who haven't played vermintide have exposure to it through social osmosis

What the fuck is this

I hate this

The person who made this should receive capital punishment

[hidden prism]

"you posted cringe"

[hasty coral]

Take them to Catachan

[dense salmon]

Catachan is brazil, savlar is Detroit

Necromunda is birmingham

There was a planet in old lore called birmingham funny enough

[arctic talon]

Go for it

I don’t think anyone would mind

[dense salmon]

I'll read anything if its good tbh

Wouldn't this be seen as something to be ashamed of

Well ig it'd be a "depending on who you ask" type thing

[crisp heath]

Am i the only one who thinks the Vox videos are pure filler/attention baits to pretend they add lore leading to content? They are barely informative and are never converted to anything ingame.

[storm jungle]

They are literally teasers, they aren't made to be Luetin-tier lorevids.

Also there is lore though 💀

[crisp heath]

Teasers for nothing lol

Im a pragmatic person and Ive worked in video game communication. To me it looks like they save time and pretend they work on a bigger picture

[storm jungle]

Nobody is forcing you to watch em and a lot of people like em for side-flavour

[forest orbit]

Have you like, looked at anything with the recent update at all.

if you want lore spoon-fed to you you're probably better off playing something else

[crisp heath]

Thats not the point. I was slightly hoping someone would have a valid counter argument by showing me FS actually implemented one or two elements of the vox into the game. Not your lukewarm opinion.

[forest orbit]

I mean it is a point

you are just whining lol

also like again, literally nobody is gonna go and listen to vox-recordings in the game, most people dont even have any attention span for that in a game like this

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much that ^

people would never bother listening to any of these ingame

[forest orbit]

your average shooter player never bothers to stop to listen to any piece of lore to begin with too tbh

[storm jungle]

More or less lol

Darktide is also not really the first game where a majority of the plot just happens outside the main gameplay cycle so

[lapis crane]

about that vox from what i understand something bad coming

[forest orbit]

Something bad is ALWAYS coming 💀

[lapis crane]

like the sergant guy is a heretic maybe

[forest orbit]

Oh nah Morrow is solid

its more that Zola is going planetside to get some sort of vendetta against Captain Wolfer, this is some actual development so i assume its gonna be related to an upcoming map

[lapis crane]

because he did say let hope so when inquisiton guy said big E protect :v

[forest orbit]

Well yeah

[lapis crane]

that is heresy right there

[forest orbit]

you cant always be an optimist lol

[lapis crane]

fair

[forest orbit]

trust me I know
