[bright garden]

I too fear reading and job applications

I need a cougar to support my hobbies

[rocky gale]

Were it so easy

[arctic talon]

I have a job

as a college student lol

tutoring kids is good money

[rose thorn]

[orchid lark]

I miss the lego asteriod miners series so much

Underrated buildsets

Too ahead of its time

[thick cedar]

Is there any lore of mechanicus psykers?

[dusk patrol]

None really

[arctic talon]

The mechanicus legally speaking cannot have psykers in its ranks

[celest dome]

Psyker that awaken in the Tech Cult are sent to the Telepatica, but I don't think they would get sent back to them after

[pine wedge]

is this because psykers belong to the emperor?

[storm jungle]

More just its an area of lore not really explored

If GW wanted the mechanicus could easily have psykers

They already have NOT-WIZARDS in the form of electro priests

[orchid lark]

Psyker biomantic biomagos mommy…

GW I have an idea

[storm jungle]

BRUH

[orchid lark]

Shes gonna cram so many vaccines and psychic brainwashing in people

You have no idea

[storm jungle]

💀💀💀

[celest dome]

There is also the matter that Psyker don't like Admech who are heavily augmented cause they don't feel right to them. Like they've ripped part of their souls iirc

[storm jungle]

Yeah the more you bionically enhance yourself the worse it gets

Which is pretty goofy lol

[queen laurel]

You would think the soul would be in there because you know it's a part of them and it's not a biological component but it is

apparently mutilating your body with machinery tears it apart even though you can still think with your brain

[bold wren]

I mean to be honest Ad Mech are cold for a reason

They're more machine then man.

At that point the Borg and Admech have something in common.

[celest dome]

I find it to make some sense tbh

[untold thunder]

im instresting in seeing more nurgle stuff in darktide

[spring cairn]

tau 40k

[orchid lark]

Furry helmet

Its like even Lion/lioness coloured

Thats cool

[spring cairn]

won't stand this tau slander

reported to my Ethereal

[rocky gale]

Huh, It really does look like a Lion face

[pine wedge]

pretty common theme in transhuman scifi stuff

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-strangle-strangler-green-screen-jerma985-gif-19817690

[rocky gale]

Furry 🫵

[crystal forum]

dont quote me on this but i think that's another dune effect on sci fi tropes

sci fi as a whole does a pretty piss poor job at old school philosophical ideas like the idea of consciousness tbh

[storm jungle]

Pretty much yep

[rocky gale]

I saw that embed fail 🫵

[storm jungle]

[remote widget]

Is it a common theory that the 'flaw' alpha primus talks about may just be the pain or sorrow that is part of several of the primarchs/ due to the fallen ones

[green loom]

No

He's just fairly

*faulty

[storm jungle]

Yeah he’s literally genetically buggy

[green loom]

He's a prototype and he can sure as shit feel it

He says it himself

[remote widget]

Ah, it just seems odd that his dad wouldn't try to fix it at all then, if he's not designed to be that way

[green loom]

Like he mentions

He's a product of Cawl's arrogance

An overreach of his abilities

It's not that he doesn't want to fix it
It just isn't critical(and he might not be able to)

[storm jungle]

Yeah Cawl literally considers Primus his son

He genuinely actually loves him

Its like Ed says he’s just extremely busy and overburdened

[green loom]

I love it when the topic is from a book I actually read!(Rare)

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-kill-me-gif-13193623

Meanwhile primus is like

[storm jungle]

Lmao

[green loom]

Anyone see the new invincible episode

[storm jungle]

I have

Duplikate getting the Astartes treatment

💀💀💀

[rocky gale]

Now what could that mean?

[storm jungle]

Uhh violently smashed to red pulp and beaten to death

[green loom]

It's not as bad as shrinking rae

tbh

[storm jungle]

Bruh that was fucked

[rocky gale]

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

Yum

[storm jungle]

💀💀💀💀💀

[rocky gale]

Wait a minute are gifs broken?

[green loom]

I think something's up with discord rn

Mine's been really slow

And has trouble copying images

But yeah I could've lived without that Komodo dragon scene

[storm jungle]

KEK

Also yeah uh if you dont give a shit about spoilers

https://youtu.be/7gqgRzEPzyQ?si=HX4jaBnQdCHvRJk0

[green loom]

Props to the animators for making something mildly disturbing lol

[storm jungle]

The fact that ||she tries to grow out of him but gets fucking squished as he bubbles out her tiny bloody drops was just holy FUCK||

Straight out of Black Library lmao

[green loom]

I don't think ||she's just squished, she's ripped apart and slowly suffocates
||

[storm jungle]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[green loom]

||The last bubble was her last breath||

[storm jungle]

meanwhile King Lizard is roleplaying the Word Bearer

[green loom]

I imagine someone blows his brains out in next episode's opening

[storm jungle]

Kill the last guy as everyone is too tired or dead 💀

Also yeah same lmao

[green loom]

But basicall

https://tenor.com/view/boy-escalated-quickly-out-of-hand-anchorman-boy-that-escalated-quickly-gif-26168747

[storm jungle]

Agreed

I need more

[green loom]

I am not surprised

[crystal forum]

ah shit new episode just dropped?

[green loom]

Yesterday yeah

[crystal forum]

fuck yall for spoiling

[green loom]

It's the sideplot lol

[spare osprey]

||Nah it seemed like she was, whole reason with the squishing and constricting Komodo dragon did||

||Better than the comic death||

[rocky gale]

I probably won't be able to watch it for a couple of days

[queen laurel]

I mean probably not the most painful thing that can happen to someone in invincible

That series has a lot more fucked up shit

[crystal forum]

tremble before my unlimited power!

no

[arctic talon]

Lore wise all sanctioned imperial psykers belong to the telepathica

The mechanicus is forced to give up any psykers born on forgeworlds

[queen laurel]

They didn't even think of using them for technokinesis?

[orchid lark]

i always hate how size changing never ever makes sense in comic books

like when shes small she still has her density and mass right

[arctic talon]

If the mechanicus do get psykers they’re trained by the telepathica

Not the mechanicus

[orchid lark]

so wouldnt the act of trying to chew her already cause issues

[arctic talon]

If the Psyker knows how to do that great

[queen laurel]

Man psykers would be so sick if they got explored more

[arctic talon]

There’s also how if a Psyker was in the mechanicus

Mechanical augmentation does not play nice

With the soul

[orchid lark]

there is so many disciplines for psykers, like geomantics, pyromantics and what not

but all we get is, MAGIC MISSILE, Return of Skywalkers, and PUSH

[arctic talon]

An iron hands librarian mentions that his brothers warp signals are like

Way less present

Then other people

[queen laurel]

That one is just confusing to me

[orchid lark]

yeah, not enough Psyker Sight game, we literally can have a Arkham Batman game as a psyker inquisitor

[queen laurel]

they can literally imitate a lot of fictional powers

[arctic talon]

Augmentics literally eating your soul?

[orchid lark]

see if they wanted to say, oh machine spirits dont play nicely with magic, but the thing is, Navigators more or less need to work with a ships own machine spirit to do stuff

[queen laurel]

Yeah because like souls are usually you know non-physical things

[arctic talon]

I’d assume it has something to do like

With the act of it

You’re sawing off your own limbs

To replace them with new and better ones

[queen laurel]

You mean willingly giving a part of yourself away

[arctic talon]

Organs, skin

Yeah

You’re giving parts of your self away

[queen laurel]

I guess that makes it more digestible

[arctic talon]

It’s not like having a dimmer soul makes you have less of a personality

Unless it’s like the pariah nexus

Where it’s literally sucking your soul out

[orchid lark]

but...then how do the votanns work?

because dont they act as small beacons in the warp for travel too?

but theyre also not like, organic in any capacity

[arctic talon]

They’re from the DAOT

So we don’t know

[orchid lark]

its just can of worms after another

[arctic talon]

The Daot had mechanical like

Warp stuff

[queen laurel]

It's like the tau situation basically while yes they are from the dark age of technology a lot of their population are just cloned in the middle of their own population

[orchid lark]

i wasnt referring to the squats, i meant the actual votann

[arctic talon]

There’s most likely some weird wraith bone analogue

That humanity found

Or they just figured out how to make wraith bone

[queen laurel]

Ah them

I guess they are just

[arctic talon]

Somthing with like a large specific psychic presence

Would work for like warp travel

[orchid lark]

thats freaky if you thikn about it

like, if we were to gather all psykers and put them on a moon and have them resonate

you could make a small burst of light in the warp

thats grim dark

[queen laurel]

You said votann so i was a bit confused but squats are very short humans

[arctic talon]

Kin refers to the leagues of votaan like

Dwarfs

[orchid lark]

I refer to the squats of votann, as either squats or kin, the Votann are their giant heads

[queen laurel]

Yes

[queen laurel]

You mean the ancestor cores?

[arctic talon]

Yeah they’re called that

[arctic talon]

The imperium doesn’t know wtf a votaan is

Fun fact

[queen laurel]

Good i don't want them to start another civil war for no reason than to apparently acquire votan technology

[orchid lark]

its a well kept secret even among themselves

[queen laurel]

Because it originally belonged to the imperium

[crystal forum]

does it?

the imperium doesn't own dark age stuff

[arctic talon]

Well in the imperiums eyes it belongs to them

[queen laurel]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

As they are the rightful heirs of humanity

[orchid lark]

the fact the imperium doesnt even know of it, is the only reason they have peace

[queen laurel]

They have the classic they think the space should belong to them problem you know

[crystal forum]

of course they will but it was never originally theirs

[queen laurel]

Like the hell divers or starship troopers

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[orchid lark]

admech goes absolute ape shit if they hear tech that should be theirs

[queen laurel]

Yep

[orchid lark]

banging on terras doors DEMANDING AND SCREECHING that they need to go get it

[queen laurel]

Do you have any idea how far a tech priest would go for a dark age of technology super bolter

[orchid lark]

the admech probably doesnt even know about the hidden guilds making tech inside of the palace for the custodians and shit too

[crystal forum]

i think of pre imperium humanity as being completely separate to the imperium

but it does go with the fascist vibes that the imperium likes to claim all the good parts of its ancestors

[arctic talon]

They are

[queen laurel]

Imagine what the imperium is willing to do when they discover ancestor cores

[orchid lark]

probably commit extinction

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's why votan down play their tech a lot

[orchid lark]

with extreme prejudice

[queen laurel]

Interacting with the imperium is basically quite hard because of how stupid they are at times

[orchid lark]

the custodians would probably swoop in and take 1 votann intact and hide it in terra for the vaults

[crystal forum]

i honestly don't think the imperium itself would even think the cores are STC's

[arctic talon]

Prolly wouldn’t

[crystal forum]

the mechanicus definitely would

[queen laurel]

Yeah because considering that it's one of the few intact ai that came from old humanity

Boy

[arctic talon]

The mechanicus are generally kill on sight

For the leagues

Big surprise I know

[queen laurel]

Say that with a straight face

[crystal forum]

does mechanicus even know about ironkin

[queen laurel]

Nope

[arctic talon]

Yesnt p

They think they’re heavily augmented

Not literal AI

[queen laurel]

Because could just also think they are weird castellan robots

[arctic talon]

Lol

[orchid lark]

the imperium sees the Ironkin like their servitors, they dont think beyond that

[arctic talon]

Do you think there’s ever a debate between tech priests

[orchid lark]

oh its just some cyborg dude

[arctic talon]

On what an Ironkin is

[queen laurel]

Definitely

[arctic talon]

It’s clearly an automata/servitor/cyborg

[crystal forum]

i wonder how that would go if an ironkin was captured by a tech priest

[arctic talon]

Horribly

Ironkin have built in uh

Tracking beacons lol

[queen laurel]

If they find out that those are actual ai that have actual rights

They would lose their shit

[crystal forum]

have tau and votaan had any interactions

[arctic talon]

Yeah

They get along

[crystal forum]

not surprising

[queen laurel]

Yes a trading partners but they hate the kin that join them

[arctic talon]

There’s a few Kin who’ve joined the tau empire

Yeah

[queen laurel]

They're willing to be allies and partners but if a kin them it's usually frowned upon

All that for your people and stuff

[arctic talon]

Also the tau ion tech is leagues of votaan derived

[crystal forum]

would be cool if GW goes im a direction where tau and its allies are all lumped together lore wise so at least all the sub factions get some lore

[arctic talon]

I wish Tau got rules for more of their auxilleries

[queen laurel]

Subfaction lore?

What are you a genuinely kind writer willing to give attention to your beloved franchise

[arctic talon]

Humans and squats are right there lol

[crystal forum]

i just hope it wont always be votaan contrasted with imperium

but this is GW so my hopes arent high

[orchid lark]

thats assuming league of votann gets anything again soon

[queen laurel]

My brother in christ they promised us a novel and it's been multiple months

I'm pretty sure it's been a year at this point

[arctic talon]

Gav thrope is cooking

[orchid lark]

they gave us the kill team, and told us to open our mouths so they could spit in it

[crystal forum]

you'd think they would have planned the whole adding a new faction thing better

[arctic talon]

Lol

[orchid lark]

its GW

[arctic talon]

Covid clearly fucked with their plans

[queen laurel]

Yes cooking noodles flavored with ketchup

[arctic talon]

Lol

[orchid lark]

i sincerely believe the covid thing somehow messed up assault marines and blood angels release schedule like fucking mad

[crystal forum]

ah yes because lore writers were heavily affected by remote work

[orchid lark]

i feel like assault primaris marines were supposed to be revealed BEFORE, the space marine 2 trailer

[arctic talon]

I’m talking about the production of the minis themselves

[orchid lark]

the fact Dante's model was done a year before covid, is SOMETHING

[arctic talon]

For the lore

That’s another thing entirely

[arctic talon]

The castellan crowe one was done and painted like 4 years before it’s reveal

[crystal forum]

i thought they made record sales during covid

[orchid lark]

like Shrike had a jump pack and reiver armour, and no one thought like

[arctic talon]

For new stuff

[orchid lark]

wait, why is he alone in this

[arctic talon]

They had a ton of production issues

Like shit was out of stock constantly lol

AoS still hasn’t restocked some stuff

[crystal forum]

interesting

[arctic talon]

Tbh

They have like 1 factory lol

I know they’re making another but they have a huge bottleneck rn

[orchid lark]

yeah, GW prides itself in being british made, and to be fair, its respectable

[crystal forum]

is that a good thing

[arctic talon]

Yeah

They don’t outsource jobs outside of Britain for their factories

[rocky gale]

I think they have 3 factories, but they're all in the one city

[orchid lark]

stick it to Thatcher, never give up

[arctic talon]

So it keeps the British economy stronger

Tldr good for their home country

[rocky gale]

All in Nottingham

[queen laurel]

Even in death the iron fisted tyrant still has hold

[orchid lark]

also means they can check on quality almost instantenously

[crystal forum]

if only the british weren't constantly shooting themselves in the foot economically

[orchid lark]

piss makes the iron fist rust, never stop the good fight soldiers

[arctic talon]

Mfw GW makes more money then the entire British fishing industry

[orchid lark]

fishing industry globally is bad, thats

well, lets not talk about that, because that is VERY depressing

[arctic talon]

True!

[crystal forum]

i love erasing entire ecosystems from the ocean

[queen laurel]

What are they fishing for tea?

[arctic talon]

Sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of dying ocean

[orchid lark]

what do you mean, Salmon globally is gonna go extinct within a probable 20 years

nah jokes fam, we keeping the caviar business alive its easy

[queen laurel]

Dude it is actually depressing

[orchid lark]

its fucking terrifying

[crystal forum]

it's going into the ocean so it must be an unlimited resource

[queen laurel]

Let's throw more dynamite into the ocean

[orchid lark]

we can somehow maintain tuna, but literally everything else is a fucking mystery

we can trust a bunch of spaniards to keep the caviar fish alive and well, but again

everything else is a mystery

anyway watch this massive tanker of oil move

[pine wedge]

It's a spiritual reflection of the physical act of sacrificing your humanity to the machine

Souls belong to the living, but steel is not alive

[queen laurel]

Hmm i guess that makes sense

[rocky gale]

Never forget that practically all of the certifications on fish products such as "Dolphin safe" are fake and granted to anyone that applies for it because the group which grants that certification can't actually investigate the boats because their inspectors keep accidentally falling overboard whenever they try.

[queen laurel]

Still a bit goofy tho

[orchid lark]

tuna much like coffee, is only 90% of what it is

[queen laurel]

What the f*** is dolphin safe

[orchid lark]

porpoise free tuna

is tuna that happens to not have dolphin meat in it

[pine wedge]

Fishing methods that don't accidentally harm or kill dolphins

[rocky gale]

It's supposed to be a rating that tells the customer no dolphins were killed or injured during the process

[pine wedge]

Supposed to mean that

But yeah it's just marketing

[queen laurel]

Why the f***

That's so f****** specific

[pine wedge]

People love dolphins

[queen laurel]

So dolphins have a safety act but sharks don't

[pine wedge]

They dgaf fish

[queen laurel]

Man

[orchid lark]

dolphins are mammals

[pine wedge]

They actively hate sharks

[celest dome]

Shark and Orca > Dolphin

[orchid lark]

more rights technically

[rocky gale]

But yea like I said, the organisation which grants that doesn't even really try to enforce it anymore because their inspectors kept mysteriously falling overboard and none of the fishing crews could explain what happened to them

[queen laurel]

No orcas are scary too man

They are just very big dolphins that can eat moose

[orchid lark]

pre 90s, if ate tuna at that point, youve probably ate dolphin meat too

[crystal forum]

sharks are like wolves, people hate them for little factual reasons

[queen laurel]

I 100% blame jaws for it

Making a giant megalodon shark capable of destroying a boat isn't really going to help in shark reputation

[arctic talon]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/15/dawnbringer-chronicles-xxiv-rumbles-in-da-green/

Green is best

[crystal forum]

killing animals is only ok when we do it, mister shark

[celest dome]

But Orca aren't evil like Dolphin

[queen laurel]

My brother on Christ

[crystal forum]

orca are pure evil

[queen laurel]

They hit seals so high up in the air

That when they land in the water the skin rips off

[celest dome]

Gotta eat/hunt 🤷

[queen laurel]

They also straight up just hit a manta ray and just left it for dead

They didn't even eat it

There's a reason why they are called Killer whales

[orchid lark]

Orcas and me got a lot in common

Having fun

[crystal forum]

we're so bad at not killing ecosystems as a species that the commonly held belief about AI is that it will kill us all since that's all we know

[arctic talon]

Tbf

It’s not entirely undeserved

[orchid lark]

I like how its impossible for robots to take over humanity solely cause we havent made ourselves turn to purely sustainable energy

[arctic talon]

But the “AI” we have right now are just fancy algorithms

No danger from them

[queen laurel]

@celest dome Just watch the first part

https://youtu.be/3HM3xxXP8Ms?si=MIvkQaMPqk6bedFJ

Like Orcas get down played a lot

But they are genuinely one of the most dangerous animals in the planet and one of the few that you can genuinely call evil

[celest dome]

Orca slander

[queen laurel]

At times

[orchid lark]

Gorca Morcas

[queen laurel]

All right i'm going to have the skin you a live for that one

[crystal forum]

pattern recognition with extra complexity

[orchid lark]

[arctic talon]

Not always, but yeah

[celest dome]

Dolphin rape each other and will kill/mutilate other species for fun too
They aren't more "morale" than Orca

[queen laurel]

Yes but an orca is a giant dolphin

Both of them are evil one is just less evil but evil is evil

[crystal forum]

i've only learned it from the manufacturing standpoint since pattern recognition has been a thing for a long time lol

but suddenly when it's applied to art people are scared

the irony of people not realizing maybe their standards for art were so low that a machine could satisfy them

[arctic talon]

Ngl I don’t like AI art lol

[crystal forum]

no shit, it's terrible

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

It's very helpful if it's just there for a very quick help

But the fact that

People abuse that so much

That's the worst part

[crystal forum]

the way i think of people who use AI art is that they were probably not going to pay an artist anyways

[queen laurel]

It's very helpful if you can't like draw and you want to try and make your dnd character an art and so you just do that

[orchid lark]

Its not abusing it thats just the problem, losers think that its enough to make them equal to us actual artists

[queen laurel]

A quick and easy way for interpretations basically

[queen laurel]

There are literally specialized programs designed to add harmful things to an art now so that it cannot be used to collect data for ai art

It has literally gotten that bad

[green loom]

AI art isn't good
But it's good enough to trick ignorants into thinking it's good enough

[crystal forum]

like i said, those people are the same ones who'd look at your commission prices and tell you to draw for exposure

[queen laurel]

The people who come here with ai art

[green loom]

Or what's this other quote I found one se c

[queen laurel]

Really really makes me feel sad for them

[green loom]

AI art isn't good enough to replace you
But it's good enough to trick your boss into thinking it can replace you

[queen laurel]

As much as i want to praise you for your funny idea of that art why would you bring it here because it's literally zero effort just type in some words

[crystal forum]

it's like a kid wanting his drawing to be put on the fridge

[green loom]

Then whoops, suddenly you're hiring prompters who ask for higher pay than the artists you just threw out, and then you have to pay the grifting algorithm companies

It's literally just a confidence scam lol

I mean

Just calling it AI

Is already far more than it actually is

[crystal forum]

the one constant rule in this world is you can go far just by talking a big talk

[queen laurel]

Easy way out easy way to get wreck

[green loom]

Anyway has anyone seen the new stellaris trailer

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[green loom]

I'm 90% certain they used AI gen

On some of iut

[arctic talon]

For which part

It looked normal to me

I think

[green loom]

This portion

[queen laurel]

The arm position

That's definitely off

[crystal forum]

i dont think paradox would use AI

[green loom]

Sudden dramatic shift in style also

[arctic talon]

The arm position is weird

Idk

[green loom]

They definitely touched it up

[arctic talon]

Can’t tell from that alone

The background looks fine

[green loom]

Because the crest on their head is shaded wholesale differently

[orchid lark]

The highlight on the eyes

Its touched up

It was AI but finished by a professional artist

No doubt

[queen laurel]

It looks like something that belongs from the show the Orville

[green loom]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

It doesn't look at that off

[crystal forum]

nah that's not AI it's 1:1 the same pose as the other shot angle

[queen laurel]

But a bit off enough

[orchid lark]

Its still permissible for me, if a professional artist uses an Ai for certain things

But it shouldn’t be a habit

[crystal forum]

it would be very fucking funny though if they used AI for the machine age ad

[green loom]

Like I said I'm 90% certain

[orchid lark]

I feel like, if they were honest and said so

[crisp heath]

What the hell happened here

[orchid lark]

I think that could be fine

[queen laurel]

We got a bit too philosophical

The usual

[orchid lark]

Doomposting

[green loom]

I mean it's not entirely AI gen and the entire trailer has a ton of regular work

And the presumed AI bit is also touched up by the team

I feel like they probably didn't want to bother with it

[crystal forum]

i wonder how bad this DLC will be

[green loom]

Also what's going on here

[orchid lark]

We are slowly getting close to reaching Butlerian Jihad enlightenment

“The machine shall not imitate the logic of man”

[queen laurel]

You mean radioactive brain poisoning?

[crisp heath]

How come the AI waifus are never in apocalyptic fiction

[orchid lark]

Because that means we’re in complete control of that AI

You think AI waifus are going to have a shred of autonomy

[queen laurel]

I mean they would probably be pretty pretty messed up in the head considering the standards of a people nowadays

[crisp heath]

That's why they're the scariest ones to go rogue

[crystal forum]

the idea might be that the desire to control them is what makes them want to wipe us out

[orchid lark]

Not me, my ai waifus would never hurt me

Uploading tradwife protocols

[crystal forum]

i think that's the premise of ex machina actually

[orchid lark]

Conversely, we wiping them out

[queen laurel]

You say that but you would probably put something along the lines of you have very big boobs in her programming

[viscid bluff]

there's a powerful sorcerer who lurks in zealot chat who changes peoples' names on a whim

[orchid lark]

You know it

[crystal forum]

why create them to begin with then

[queen laurel]

God f****** damn it

[orchid lark]

Mans reach often exceeds his grasp

We create them cause we could, but realise too late that nope, we gotta destroy it all

[orchid lark]

I am the first to make oppAI

[storm jungle]

Post that Ian Malcom quote

[queen laurel]

Adam you're the reason why eve wanted to commit crime

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-ian-malcolm-jeff-goldblum-should-could-gif-16617300

[crisp heath]

There's no way oppAI isn't already a product

[orchid lark]

COPYRIGHT IT

[storm jungle]

THEYRE SELLING IT

[orchid lark]

https://tenor.com/view/gifhaus-funhaus-bruce-greene-thinking-what-gif-13264370

[queen laurel]

They did stop to think about stopping but they decided

Nah we ball

[crystal forum]

the irony here is that scientists use AI to write their papers now

[crisp heath]

I use an AI to write my prompts for AI

[storm jungle]

Depends

Most dont lol

Its academic suicide lmao

[green loom]

I don't need it

[crystal forum]

i'm not saying they literally click the prompts and then publish that

even though that literally happens

[orchid lark]

The only AI i need is the gaussian blur function on my art programs

[queen laurel]

Meeting your friend that used gpt to pass that doctor exam is going to be very much not funny when you're in the operating table

[crystal forum]

it's the bulk of the boring text that's written by AI. all the data interpretation is of course done by hand

[crisp heath]

Just think, with AI art we can now automatically generate infinite NFTs. We're so back

[queen laurel]

Do you use the nightshade tool?

[orchid lark]

The hell is that

[queen laurel]

It's a tool that poisons images basically for ai art generators

[crystal forum]

academia as a whole is pretty fucked and society seems to barely care which is ok i guess

[queen laurel]

It looks normal to people but for ai it's basically looks like some weird shit

[orchid lark]

Ah no, glaze and nightshade stuff i dont use

Cause no joke i cant find it

[orchid lark]

Academia is fucked when i submitted my dissertation about the perception of female companions in mass effect

[queen laurel]

Yeah a lot of people love this stuff

[orchid lark]

Ty gonna keep it by my side

[queen laurel]

I don't know how to set it up but i'm pretty sure there's like a tutorial somewhere in the internet

[crystal forum]

computer scientists, the cause of and the solution to all of life's problems

[crisp heath]

Honestly the worst thing I've ever seen (and I mean no insult to the person who did this, he has a social disorder and it's clear he didn't understand why what he did was hurtful) was one of my friends was having a really bad episode because he lost custody of his kids because he relapsed, and our mutual friend decided to send him an AI generated calming technique

Like I said I'm chill with the guy who did this, but you just know less well intentioned people are doing this kind of thing all the time now

[green loom]

cough shadiversity

[queen laurel]

Shhhh shhh, please just put that one under the rug we are already way too deep into this one

[crystal forum]

since we're doing this here now i want to say that yesterday i cut somebody off in traffic and two kids in a prius in front of me thought it was their civic duty to restore karma by stopping their car and looking back at me while waving their hands

causing everybody behind me to be stuck as well

including the person i cut off

[queen laurel]

That's uhh something I guess

I don't know what to say to that i'm going to be honest

[green loom]

They restored karma by taking all the bad karma themselves

[crystal forum]

they sure showed me i guess

[green loom]

They hopefully crashed into a tree not long after

[crystal forum]

dont get me wrong i totally did a shit move but like why

[queen laurel]

You know

I almost forget that everyone here would go to hell in this chat

Well i'm definitely am

[crystal forum]

also here's a general rule: dont get involved in road rage, especially when you're not involved because you can actually die from some maniacs

[queen laurel]

Some people pulled out weapons that you would really be surprised that they carry around

[green loom]

My dad did what he calls "Aggressive driving" in a crowded city

[spring cairn]

if you really want the dog face helmet, here you go

[green loom]

I did not enjoy it

[crystal forum]

you either get cut off or you cut off others it's just how it goes in cities

[crisp heath]

I'm not going to hell

[orchid lark]

Im a good person

I aint going to hell

[queen laurel]

Well if you guys say so

[crisp heath]

I drunk texted Satan inappropriate things and he got a restraining order

[green loom]

Ok but going 70 kmh in city limits and almost drifting between cars is

[orchid lark]

This looks like the odst helmet to me for some reason

Or a very cartoony dragon

[queen laurel]

Your father was quite brave but also i'm going to be honest you can be mad at me for this kind of stupid

[crystal forum]

i'll be honest chief im not proud of what i do

[spring cairn]

since you couldn't behave I had to equip the faceless megachin helmet

https://tenor.com/view/10rackz-gif-16500371327647267997

[orchid lark]

Zenyatta

[spring cairn]

kinda look like an omnic ye

[orchid lark]

Its literally an omnicnchin yeah

[queen laurel]

Why the hell does this look like a halo spartan armor without the fancy bits

[spring cairn]

but it's megachin

pharaoh drip

[crystal forum]

but when you get cut off in the left lane while you're going 30 km/h faster than the other person and they think they should slam their brakes as well your brain chemistry changes

[green loom]

He is the big dumb and I dislike him quite a bit

[spring cairn]

it's light armor so it's mostly kevlar

[queen laurel]

Well did they fix the heavy armor yet

[spring cairn]

green fabric covered kevlar

yeah they work now

[queen laurel]

Oh good

[spring cairn]

they're just not worth the stamina tradeoff

[crystal forum]

if he drives that way with passengers then yeah that's a whole different level

[queen laurel]

Ah let me guess even if they are like using the proper upgrades and stuff the durability it provides with literally get shredded with the enemies just tearing you apart way to quick

[spring cairn]

there ain't any upgrades btw

but it's something like uh

5 hits to die with light armor

and it only gets up to 8/9 with heavy

(tested on the weakest trash mob)

[green loom]

One time we were driving through a forest and he nearly got us in a head on because he decided to cut 4 cars on a turn because he was throwing a tantrum that people weren't going over 100 kmh

[queen laurel]

So it's literally just better to run away yeah

[crystal forum]

ok now im feeling better for not being that level

[green loom]

We were a few meters from a head on probably

I was not happy

[queen laurel]

Oh fuck

Man that is shitty

[spring cairn]

I mean, no, it's better to kill the waves but when you're running and shmoving, you feel like a fat fuck

and no one likes to be slow in video games for so little upsides

[queen laurel]

Yeah mobility is pretty much very important in a game like Helldivers

And in the first place they just added mechs

[crystal forum]

this whole week has been so much road rage it's weird

earlier this week some guy yells something at me for arriving at a stop sign too quickly

mind you i always do full stops in a region where stop signs are considered suggestions

[queen laurel]

Man

I have heard some stuff in my life but people just screaming at someone for stopping in a stop sign

That is definitely up there

[dusk patrol]

It’s better for bots

But as has been said for bugs it’s not worth

They have a new medic heavy armor set I’ve been using for bots

[queen laurel]

You can have multiple loadouts right

[dusk patrol]

You can swap out as needed

Sadly no loadout system yet

The new las gun is nuts good at least

[queen laurel]

A pve horde shooter without a loadout system

[dusk patrol]

The plasma shotgun is terribly and the arc shotgun is mostly for bugs

[queen laurel]

That's a bit weird

[dusk patrol]

It do be

Tbh you can swap before a mission easily and you’ve supposed to pick stratagems every time anyways

It’s not ideal but it’s not too bad

Mostly I want to be able to swap armor easier

[queen laurel]

Having multiple loadouts for very specific situations on the go is definitely very very helpful though

I'm pretty sure they are going to implement that in the future at least

[dusk patrol]

I do agreed being able to swap during a mission would be ideal

[queen laurel]

Considering how hectic a mission can get

On the go loadout swaps would be very f****** appreciated

[dusk patrol]

The main complaint I have is they need to work on buffing a lot of the primaries

So many are just dogshit

[spring cairn]

at least we have peaked in the assault rifle department

sickle is just

peak

finally, no more shotgun

[dusk patrol]

Yeah it’s so good

Insane how you can one clip like ten bots and not even have to reload

Effectively infinite ammo and a fast reload if you need it

[spring cairn]

like even if you overheat, there's 6 cooling packs

[queen laurel]

Are the lmgs any good

[spring cairn]

yes

[dusk patrol]

Super accurate, good damage

Yeah they’re good

Just kinda in an weird spot

[queen laurel]

I heard the auto cannons are also pretty good but you need two people to man one

[dusk patrol]

No

You can do one two just makes reloads easier

[spring cairn]

you just need to know that when your third weapon slot is an lmg, your role is hordeclear

[dusk patrol]

But they are very good yes

The main downside is the ammo backpack needed

Cause the shield is so good

[queen laurel]

Auto cannons are the heaviest fully automatic ballistic weapon in the game that i can hold as a human right

[spring cairn]

shield not necessary for bugs

it's a bot backpack

[dusk patrol]

At higher difficulties it’s arguably more important for bugs

Cause the hunter spam

[spring cairn]

i play 9 only and i never pick the shield

i simply kill the hunters before they get on me

[dusk patrol]

I do too, but idk, it’s a huge assist. Plus generally speaking I prefer the none backpack guns

[queen laurel]

What about the mechs

Are they worth it for the fire support

[dusk patrol]

Railgun, arc, gl

[dusk patrol]

Not really

They’re fine

[spring cairn]

mechs are incredible line holders

[rocky gale]

Rover Guard Dog is the backpack of choice

[dusk patrol]

But they’re very very easy to destroy

[spring cairn]

and make extractions very easy

[dusk patrol]

There’s better more versatile slots imo

They’re fun but it’s not worth the slot for how little you’ll use them

[queen laurel]

Only have the rocket minigun mech

[spring cairn]

mechs again, a bug tool, i wouldn't take one for the bots

[dusk patrol]

Currently yes

[spring cairn]

it will literally mow down entire lvl9 breaches

[queen laurel]

There's one with double auto cannons coming

[dusk patrol]

Dual autocannon are later on

I expect once we get the vehicle ship slot we’ll have more use for them

Assuming we do and the vehicles get upgraded

[spring cairn]

mechs aren't considered vehicles, they're "robotics"

[dusk patrol]

There’s a lot datamined rn

[dusk patrol]

They aren’t now

[spring cairn]

i doubt they will be in the future

[dusk patrol]

There’s been datamined stuff

Lots of vehicles and what not, and additions to the ship upgrade system

[spring cairn]

vehicle upgrades will only be for the apc, buggy and warthog from wish

[dusk patrol]

And the robotics upgrades don’t apply to the mech anyways

If it did that would be nuts

[spring cairn]

having it hold 50% more ammo would be nice

[dusk patrol]

Also there’s a bug with the mech missile launcher rn which they need to fix

Which can be annoying

Due to how it fires out of the gun

Hopefully the autocannon one won’t have the same issue

[spring cairn]

meridia's TCS will be fully online soon, then it's time for bugafghanistan

[dusk patrol]

Not looking forward to those damn flyers

[spring cairn]

i am, another reason to have a guy with the mg's in the squad

[dusk patrol]

Can’t be bothered to try to coordinate with randoms that much

Sickle will probably shred them regardless

[spring cairn]

i like to let them pick their stratagem first so i can roll something more specialized

[rocky gale]

AA sentry turret when

[dusk patrol]

They’re all AA

[spring cairn]

yeah

[dusk patrol]

Except like mortar

And even that

[spring cairn]

but they have datamined stuff that's specifically anti air

like eagle runs but only for flying stuff

[dusk patrol]

A turret which can shred drops ships would be nuts

[spring cairn]

reminder that the bots don't have their titans yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDGK78Vtt-A

this would be the track it uses i assume

[dusk patrol]

Yeah the dog thing

There was a leaked image of one at least

And the tunneler work for the bugs

[spring cairn]

the data moles have the bot walker model out now

[dusk patrol]

Oh boy

[spring cairn]

it even has dual laser cannons under it's maw thing

like an actual at at

[dusk patrol]

My main thing Id want to see is them not making enemies as reliant on heavy weapons to deal with which they’re slowly doing kinda

Bots are better than bugs with this

Obviously heavy should be preferred but it shouldn’t be the only way reasonably

[spring cairn]

it's fine now that you can 1 tap chargers

[dusk patrol]

They’re way better yet

[spring cairn]

eat is so good

[dusk patrol]

EAT this

[spring cairn]

1 eat pod is also a dead titan if you aim carefully

[dusk patrol]

It was already my favorite and it just got better

[spring cairn]

i like that some weapons are good against 1 faction and bad against another

it's just weird that the actual AT weapon is shit against the actual tank

(spear excluded)

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-wG0LGWu9w||

[dusk patrol]

Yeah I can appreciate the need to change playstyles

Like the new arc shotgun is good for bugs

Not so much for bots

Although even for bugs I’d still take the sickle for now tbh

But it is fun

[spring cairn]

plasma shotgun is pure trash tho

[dusk patrol]

Yeah sadly

I tried but fuck me it’s worthless

Low ammo, not great damage, dangerous to use up close

Wonky projectile speed for faster enemies

[spring cairn]

stun grenade on the other hand, i'm suprised it's this good

[dusk patrol]

It’s very very nice

Idk if I’ll use it a ton but I’ve killed so many hulks with it easy

Just stun and walk behind

[spring cairn]

it stuns titans for a good 8 seconds

[dusk patrol]

Same for charger and titans

Yeah

Doesn’t stun tanks

Sadly but they’re not a huge deal

[spring cairn]

fair i mean

it's a tank afterall

there's a big spaceship thing model that's been unearthed recently that looks like a bot cruiser of some sort

[dusk patrol]

I’m looking forward to hopefully more urban environments once the enemy gets closer to the core

I know they’ve said they have plans for Super Earth being attacked

And Mars and stuff

[green loom]

Wonder if we'll get stuff like Cyberstan/Automaton urban areas

[dusk patrol]

And of course the Illuminate are coming soon hopefully

[dusk patrol]

Yeah that would be sick

[green loom]

Or Terminid hives

[dusk patrol]

Enemy strongholds

[queen laurel]

Doesn't super earth have like the planet of the automatons

[green loom]

Yes

Currently

you can look at it on the map iirc

[dusk patrol]

^

It’s to the north of the Automaton area rn

Cyberstan

Where the Cyborg rebels are held

[queen laurel]

And it's 100% liberated or can you do missions there?

[dusk patrol]

It’s ours right now

So yes

It’s speculated the bots will move that way

And take it eventually

Since they’re not far off rn

[queen laurel]

I mean the slaughter at malevolent creek definitely made them a bit happier

[dusk patrol]

That would be a better name for that fucking hellhole

I actually do not enjoy that planet at all tbh

And I think that’s part of why it’s been such a failure

It’s just not fun for me

Snow planets are my jam

[queen laurel]

I heard fighting the bugs is like way easier than fighting the bots anyway

That's why Malevelon Creek was considered a slaughter by the community apparently

[dusk patrol]

It depends but generally yeah

Helldiver bot extractions are insane

I’m glad I’ve gotten all the samples I need for now cause fuck me

They drop like five hulks and two tanks every wave

[queen laurel]

Ah Malevon Creek also has ion storms

[dusk patrol]

Plus a ton of zerkers, destroyers and so on

[queen laurel]

Reading about it that seems like a piece of shit

Disabling strategems

[dusk patrol]

It’s very not ideal

Longer sightlines with some cover is better for bots imo

Since bots don’t have issues seeing through the forest and shooting

So you get some surprise rockets from devastators or whatever a lot

[spring cairn]

i won't post them to avoid spoiling but we have all of their models basically

so as far as i know, they're p much ready and it's up to when the devs want to add them in

[queen laurel]

So basically fighting the vietcong but with robots

[queen laurel]

Wouldn't adding them basically make the already pretty spread out players even more spread out

The planets having this liberated system

[dusk patrol]

Yeah they were in the closed testing too

[queen laurel]

Is pretty fun but pretty f****** scary

[dusk patrol]

They’re apparently completely done as you said

[dusk patrol]

From what I understand they rig it as needed tbh

It works proportionally

Otherwise the insane influx of players they didn’t see coming would have auto completed a lot of objectives

[queen laurel]

From what i know the first game they seem to be quite more mystical

Being like floating white metal

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

They’re a lot like the Protoss

Proper aliens with alien tech and shit

In the past game they did stuff like inverted your controls

Which I am uh

Hoping isn’t in this one the same way

Also one shot kill snipers and teleporting melee guys

They’ll be interesting

[queen laurel]

Can you imagine them hacking your mech's control system and forcing it to shoot at your allies

[dusk patrol]

Ugh

[arctic talon]

If they keep confusion

I hope it only inverts stratagem inputs ngl

But keep the 1 hit snipers

They’re iconic

[spring cairn]

can't wait to see the reaction of the people saying that the bots are too hard

[arctic talon]

Lol

Only way I can see the walls working now

Is for them to use it as like

Cover I guess

Also ngl bots are way easier then bugs

[dusk patrol]

I’ve found I enjoy them more as time goes on

Less spammy

Especially once you get higher up

[burnt maple]

^ fucking this.

[bold wren]

Cover is kinda important

Your toughness does nothing once gunners pin you down and you can juke bosses and mutants with this too.

[crisp heath]

Why aren’t the solar auxiliary in play in 40k?

Not worth it to give the guard better training and arms?

[green loom]

They're marines

They kinda can't exist with how the army got divided up into the guard and navy

[crisp heath]

Aww

They look so cool

[young pecan]

I used to have trouble with bots and then I was like "wait, literally just play this like I'm hiding in a trench every time there's something bigger than me"

Now I hate fighting bugs because 8 trillion hunters will cartel me if I'm not careful

[arctic talon]

They’re still around on Saturn most likely

As their military force

Also the solar auxilia simply can’t be provided their equipment the same way they used to be

[crystal forum]

im pretty sure the imperium just really doesnt like it when singular combined armed forces wield a shit ton of power

at least to me that's why the solar auxilia stopped being a main thing

and because back in the day the imperial guard didn't provide as good regiments as the astra militarum does

[arctic talon]

That also

The imperial army was uh

Very very inconsistent in quality

[crystal forum]

cadians weren't a thing

[arctic talon]

And neither was any sort of standard gear

The auxilia also got all their standard lasguns from a single forgeworld

I am not joking

prolly one of the best las weapons in setting

[green loom]

Did it explode

[arctic talon]

If you overcharged it yeah

oh the forgeworld?

no

[green loom]

Why not

I'm going to make ut explode

[dusky scroll]

After successful defense of a Tyranid invasion, can their dead bodies be consumed?
I mean, the Imperium is not above cannibalism. So, this should be morally less taxing.

[queen laurel]

Hell no, Tyranid biology f****** volatile

You tried eating that thing and the pieces you just ate will eat you inside out

Hell just turning their body parts into some kind of special biological attachments to your body is often enough for them to just f****** kill you

Like what happened to some dark elder who thought of it as fancy looking stuff arms and legs

[dusky scroll]

What happened to him?

[queen laurel]

After attaching the arm, the literal tyranid biology of it quite literally ate him

[dusky scroll]

Interesting. So Tyranids are immortal?

[queen laurel]

No it's just that every piece of biological aspect of a tyranid is designed to be f****** dangerous

Like even their weapons if somehow separated from the bioform

[dusk patrol]

Also they’re not exactly tasty or useful and expire fast

[queen laurel]

Would still shoot you if it has any life left

[dusk patrol]

Some don’t even have a way to eat

They just starve to death eventually if they survive

[queen laurel]

Yes very dangerous mutations that have quirks are very rare like Old one eye

[dusk patrol]

Yeah stuff like that shit

Gets nutty

[dusky scroll]

Hmm... So which alien races in 40k can be eaten?

[queen laurel]

Grox

[dusky scroll]

Minus necrons... because, well.... Eating CPUs and RAM ain't gonna nutritious.

[hallow basin]

Is it really fair to call Groxes a race?

[queen laurel]

Eating sentient alien races is it exactly going to go well

[queen laurel]

You could try orks if you get your hands on the squigs of course

[dusky scroll]

No no... I mean part of other factions.. like Orcs, or Eldars... etc.

[queen laurel]

And of course even the normal ork would work but you know

Their Orks

Isn't exactly easy to put down because even on their normal savage tribe people stage they have gargants powered by steam engines

[dusky scroll]

I always imaginged Tau would taste Grapy...

[storm jungle]

You’d get shot for any

[hallow basin]

There are anecdotes about Valhallans eating orks when there's nothing else to eat, but other sources claim that their meat is toxic, so there's that

[queen laurel]

Yeah eating any of the considered sentient races as punishable by death

[queen laurel]

It's fungus

[hallow basin]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-imposter-imposter-among-us-sus-among-us-sus-gif-158167910449982651

[queen laurel]

Cook it properly and you would kill a good amount of the danger stuff

Like out of all the f****** alien races they're the only ones that you could eat with good enough reason

[dusky scroll]

Corpse Starch sounds like something made of members of sentient race.

[storm jungle]

Yes

Humans

lol

[queen laurel]

Their mandated by the imperium so that is fine

Like how navigators are mutants but they help so they are allowed

[storm jungle]

Also its not widely used for consumption. Most other planets just eat tasteless gruel and slop

People forget this a lot 💀

[queen laurel]

Don't blame them people just say it's literally made of humans for the 50th 100th time

Corpse starch gets branded as like the only thing the soldier eats in any bloody situation

[dusky scroll]

Can they say, "My food was made as humanely as possible"?

[storm jungle]

no

[queen laurel]

Humane

In 40k?

That made me chuckle little that was good

Now they can't say that because well it's made of dead recycled bodies

There's nothing humane about that it's just the hard cold truth

[hallow basin]

I'd wager Eldar meat is edible, but you never know

[queen laurel]

Well why don't you ask a dark eldar

They eat their cousins

Apparently it tastes good to them but them saying that doesn't really make me trust them

[dusky scroll]

Well... from what I know, Dark Elder meat is probably not edible, given a lifetime of drug usage..

[storm jungle]

Almost no alien meat is

We’ve been saying this for 30 minutes lmao

[queen laurel]

Yeah Orks are like the only one that you can truly eat

Even then it is very f****** desperate for you to resort to that

[storm jungle]

And get shot for tbh

[dusky scroll]

xD I was just theorizing. (afaik that's the right word for it)

[queen laurel]

Oh you use that alien gun to save the greater life of this planet and its people yeah you're going to die man

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/callisto-callisto-protocol-the-callisto-protocol-gif-27253380

To jail

[outer wave]

Wait what makes Eldar meat inedible, aside from the ethics?

[queen laurel]

Bravery to enslave them

[outer wave]

Ah but couldn't you just grab em off the battlefield and prep them?

They already do it with people why not Eldar?

[queen laurel]

Capturing and trying to eat an already dying race would likely get their people to kill you on the most violent way possible

Also they go into soul stones when they die

[outer wave]

Wait the body too?

I thought it was just the soul

[rocky gale]

Knowing Drukhari there is probably one Archon out there paranoid enough to have their own flesh modified so that if anyone ever ate them it would cause the persons brain to melt in an agonizingly slow process.

[dusky scroll]

*"get their people to kill you on the most violent way possible" *

Well, it's 40K. They're probably gonna kill you on the most violent way possible anyway..

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah but do you really think the soul was about to let you slide the fact that you eat eldar?

It probably saw what you did and you know would tell the craft world what the hell happened causing you to die a very very painful death

[outer wave]

I mean I doubt the soul is conscious of the fact you're going to eat their body after they leave, which is probably(?) instantaneous

[storm jungle]

The process in which corpsestarch is made is not galaxy wide + alien cannibalism is also ultra heresy

[outer wave]

Unless they got like cameras on the battlefield and they go "Look, it's you!!"

[queen laurel]

They do

[outer wave]

Huh, I guess that makes a micodum of sense

[dusky scroll]

Then you die accidentally on mortar shell before they get you.

[storm jungle]

Basically cannibalism in any sense is bad

You WILL get shot lol

Its only when all rules break down that people in 40k resort to it

[queen laurel]

Yes only allowed cannibalism is allowed

Like eating your mashed up relatives

[outer wave]

Oh so the ogryn can eat literally everything, but when I do i--

[dusky scroll]

Wait... Don't Astartes peeps have a biological augmentation that allows them to absorb memory by eating flesh of their enemy?

[queen laurel]

Yes but since their bodies require a lot of nutrients they mostly eat nutrient paste

[storm jungle]

The brain. It only requires 1-2 bites

[outer wave]

Yes but many dont do it

Save for like

Blood Angel subchapters

[queen laurel]

The brain eating stuff is only done against the enemy but a good chunk of space marines don't do it a lot

[rocky gale]

Sure it's fine when the Space Marines and Kroot eat people but Emperor forbid you get peckish while on burial duty.

[outer wave]

Honestly I wonder if a space marine could pull a Gravemind by eating as many brains as possible

[dusky scroll]

So, if everyone in the unit gets a bite, they're basically sharing an experience!

[outer wave]

Yes?

[dusky scroll]

I'll let myself back in jail.

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

Don't worry the officials will just shoot you in the head

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-gif-24139985

[rocky gale]

So instead of going on holiday they could send a single chapter serf, then when he gets back the whole squad eats his brain and then they all just gain the memory of the holiday.

[storm jungle]

BRUH

[queen laurel]

@storm jungle can you pull out that arbites quote

About them like being mad at someone for wasting ammo

[outer wave]

Now what if that serf died of an LSD overdose in the process?

Now that'd be fun

"Its... a good thing I came in here ab-sol-utely FUCKED on DMT!" - Serf in his final moments

[rocky gale]

Sounds like a very bad serf, would never be selected for such an important and holy duty as this

[outer wave]

I think the quality of the job is in the eye of the beholder tbh

Maybe these guys think he's doing a bang up job

[arctic talon]

Drukhari eat each other as well, its pretty tough because of their musculature iirc

[storm jungle]

Look its America

[arctic talon]

Eldar are probably like pound for pound the strongest species in the setting ironically

despite how thin they look

[queen laurel]

This shit is the reason why performing cannibalism isn't really a good idea

[arctic talon]

because old ones bio technological bullshit wins once again

[outer wave]

Maybe you slow cook eldar

Maybe

[storm jungle]

Bruh

💀💀💀

[outer wave]

Hey the tough meat and skin would slough off, it'd be like pulled pork

Pulled Eldar

[storm jungle]

THIS ISNT SPONGEBOB

AND THEY ARENT KRABBY PATTIES

[queen laurel]

Why do you know how to properly cook eldar

[outer wave]

THIS CAN BE USE YOUR IMAGINATION

I dunno you tell me

😎

[storm jungle]

Fucking Hannibal Lecter over here

[outer wave]

(Heh got 'em, now they'll never know...)

Deathwatch chefs be like

[dusky scroll]

tbh, eating eldar is technically not cannibalism.

[outer wave]

ITS ONLY A HYPOTHETICAL GUYS C-COME ON

HAHA I WOULDNT ACTUALLY EAT A SPACE ELF

NOT EVEN IF I WERE DESPERATE AND WASTING AWAY

[crisp heath]

Eat ork’s

They are vegan

[arctic talon]

Imperial authorities would still dissaprove

[queen laurel]

Yes it's not cannibalism but performing and turning sentient feeling creatures into food isn't exactly going to get you brownie points in the imperial life

[queen laurel]

You're still going to get shot

[orchid lark]

Space Marines invading a craftworld is just ranching

[crisp heath]

Dude I tried to make this argument in a dnd game and people thought I was weird

[dusky scroll]

No.. I meant as answer to the mentioning of Hannibal Lecter.

[queen laurel]

Unless you have a very very good reason even then they will still just shoot you for just eating it

[crisp heath]

I told people eating dragons and krakens is really weird cause those are sentient creatures you are cooking up

[orchid lark]

I feel like eating anything sapient is a taboo

[crisp heath]

Wacky

[outer wave]

Now I kinda get dragons but krakans c'mon

[queen laurel]

People were giving you stares for not eating sentient living and feeling elfs?

[orchid lark]

We can eat sentient things, but when they’re sapient and capable of pursuing things that arent base survival instincts

Thats just a crime against identity

[outer wave]

Its very ethically wrong

[queen laurel]

I forgot to differentiate actual thinking smart caveman from animals sorry about that

[dusky scroll]

Isn't Kraken a mindless creature?
