#

I can't blame him.

#

Man is pretty valid on that.

rocky gale
#

Since we're talking about the 1998 Godzilla which stared Matthew Broderick, I am compelled by my brain urges to bring up that in 1987 he killed two people in Northern Ireland and only received a $100 fine.

plush mason
#

i know, still he did basically wipe out Greece, afaik its still a plague ridden sunless hellscape

plush mason
rocky gale
#

Yea he was the main character

gray umbra
#

I didnt know that

bold wren
#

Guilliman is the Primarch of roasts

#

Man knows how to roast traitors.

tough haven
#

I love admech cause they have both so much range, and are at the same time, incredibly committed to their schtick

bold wren
#

Guilliman turns into a WWE star and starts roasting people when he is mad.

#

I mean it's quite amusing.

#

Why

#

This seems pretty controversial

tough haven
#

fair enough

#

I mean, tech priests take a fucking crazy amount of shapes and forms

#

really cool from a character building perspective because they can look like and be pretty much almost anything

bold wren
#

They don't care about that they replace all organs with tubes and pipes

bold wren
#

Usually most Ad Mech look the same.

tough haven
#

but not all tech priests are fully mechanical, biologis priests for example, but most are just a walking smart fridge

bold wren
#

Slightly different but it's not noticeable.

#

With the metal Ad Mech and biologis are different

#

Then you get the electropriests.

tough haven
#

but then again biologis can go from anywhere to fucking hulking muscle gigachad to walking surgical suite

bold wren
#

Who burn their eyes away.

tough haven
#

so it depends on the sect

bold wren
#

Electropriests are blind?

#

I mean they burn their eyes away with electricity.

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

^

bold wren
#

So they are like sharks.

dusk patrol
#

Similar to Astropaths

bold wren
#

Expect sharks have eyes.

dusk patrol
#

Where they use the warp and what not to see

bold wren
#

Sharks rely on electric signals

#

And can sense things similar to what I mean.

#

Hence why they go after any electronics on boats.

#

Or anything with an electrical pulse.

#

Cawl might be a machine lover but he has a sense of humor.

#

Roasting is just 40k nature.

tough haven
bold wren
#

Lion apparently had a personality change and is now a wise old man.

plush mason
#

Cawl is a metal centipede man the size of a tank

#

iirc some tech-priests full on float

#

as in they dont even have legs just anti-grav stuff

storm jungle
#

the Fabricator-General is prob the biggest example

#

literally and figuratively since hes the size of a hab-block lol

plush mason
#

yup

#

dude is literally Mr. House in 40k

storm jungle
#

Cawl literally couldnt move from how heavy he was when his rear-ass section died

plush mason
#

kek

storm jungle
#

so like yeah it depends

gray umbra
#

he thicc

plush mason
#

rule of thumb is the higher the rank the more outlandish/monsterus the tech-priest's body is

storm jungle
#

Pretty much yeah, they can get massive

gray umbra
#

that entire movie describes the mechanicum

storm jungle
#

god

gray umbra
#

tech priest reproduction in action

storm jungle
#

like, replace that section with them growing a baby in a tube and yeah basically lmao

dusk patrol
#

He’s a hefty boy

young pecan
#

Why Cawl bulge

#

Too cursed sorry

#

Sisters of Battle never fall to chaos like Space Marines do.

#

I mean they do but unlike space marines it's quite uncommon and rare even.

#

If they do fall to chaos it's usually covered up and removed from every bit of information.

#

Censorship tends to make people believe that.

#

It makes no sense

#

Black Templars turned to chaos and they worship the Emperor.

#

Sisters of Battle are not immune if Black Templars are not immune.

oak gazelle
bold wren
#

And people believe the Emperor who is talking to them is probably Khorne.

#

The Zealots probably have Khorne talking to them saying he is the Emperor.

#

I wouldn't doubt it.

green loom
#

The only one talking to my Psyker is Umbra Brandonius

bold wren
#

I mean the zealots

green loom
#

Better known by his worldly name, Dark Brandon

green loom
bold wren
#

So it's censorship by the Ecclesiarch

#

That makes people believe sisters are incorruptible.

green loom
#

As far as the average Joe is concerned everyone not them is incorruptible

orchid lark
#

If you allow people to know your defenders and angels can be corrupted

#

Then youll have a societal collapse

paper haven
#

Isn't society collapsing anyway?

green loom
#

In a society live, we do

-Yoda, circa M41.

green loom
#

Yodus

#

Iodus

plush mason
#

the imperium has been locked in a state of societal collapse for the past 10k years

#

a corpse to ignorant and stubborn to realize its already dead

vagrant narwhal
#

Hot take: Krieg Space Marines.

storm jungle
#

Awful

young pecan
#

Could be wrong though

orchid lark
#

Space marines arent expendable but they are made to take a beating

plush mason
#

ngl space marines with trenchcoats over their armor and helmets that look like gasmask do sound kind of cool tho

outer wave
plush mason
#

gland warriors

outer wave
#

Pog!

plush mason
#

aka bargin brand space marines

outer wave
#

That shit's awesome

young pecan
outer wave
#

Very shitty angels that arent all that much better than regular humans

young pecan
#

Sounds cool to me in that case

outer wave
#

Could toss it up to the planet being a production site for geneseeds that had their original schematics fucked up over generations of leadership changes

plush mason
#

Gland Warriors, also known as Homo sapiens auctus glandulae,[3] are a specialized, genetically modified force of Imperial Guardsmen originally designed to battle the Tyranids. Despite being Human originally, due to the nature of their modifications they are now generally classified as Abhumans by the Imperium at large.[1]

outer wave
#

Or the guard had just grabbed this thing and dont really know what theyre doing

plush mason
#

literally just nock off space marines that are just a little better than normal human guardsmen

outer wave
#

Genuinely really cool idea

#

They should expand on it

tough haven
#

I love how mechanicus can just be like “yeah, we’ll invent a new abhuman species” but if you ask them to make a slightly brighter flashlight that isn’t in the original design, they’ll execute you for tech heresy

#

Obviously that’s hyperbole but I always love the hypocrisy

orchid lark
#

In some senses we do have depressed krieg marines

#

We have Death Eagles

tough haven
#

If you’re a psyker and fighting tyranids, you’re essentially fucked due to the shadow right?

queen laurel
oak gazelle
#

you dont have to worry because psykers are doing sudoku when that happens or is my memory bad

tough haven
#

No the constant screaming scrabbling voices just get in your head like maggots into a corpse, and you’re either killed by the stress of it, incapacitated, or unable to use your powers, unless you are of a incredible force of will

vagrant narwhal
plush mason
#

DKOK is ww1 btw

#

the steal legion is ww2

vagrant narwhal
#

Death Korps would be WW1, while their (hypothetical) SM counterparts would be WW2

plush mason
#

ah ok

vagrant narwhal
#

Although now that raises another question

#

What about WW1 US-styled counterpart regiment?

#

I could see them using Locke Pattern lasrifles

plush mason
#

krieg has a tiny bit of american kit

#

specifically the shovels

“I miss Male Custodes”

hallow basin
#

Is the rant from the screenshot really that unreasonable?

orchid lark
#

I just love seeing it

#

I want to collect more

#

Like that dude on twitter going insane cause a republic commando died or something

#

I am Trazyn but for stuff like this

#

Dead Space but Votann are simply built different

orchid lark
#

Oh i do, but its overwhelming salt

#

I want the smallest group

#

Of something massive

#

Also its more contration to like the show as opposed to hating it

hallow basin
#

Oh, Mauler is a cool guy, love his vids

#

I mean, if someone is seemingly being a contrarian, maybe there is an actual reason for it, and not desire for being a contrarian?

dusk patrol
#

People like going against the grain

#

Tbh, it has a lot of things I could pick at and I do think people gloss over some issues

#

But, it’s still very good

#

Much better than I thought it was gonna be

#

As it goes on and if they keep doing certain things then I’ll probably actually dislike it

queen laurel
#

Nowadays they are pretty good if not amazing

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

orchid lark
#

The dude with a gun that takes three bullets made from like different coloured materials

#

Also Pokemon show

queen laurel
orchid lark
#

The diamon and pearl ones were good

#

The Dofus show

#

Maplestory Anime (jokes)

#

Theres been a few good video game adaptations

#

The mario cartoon is probably my fave

#

Mortal Kombat Annhilation is an underrated fave cause the OST was kinda cool

#

A lot of people want 1 to 1 recreations of shows, and I think how stupid that is honestly

#

If an interactive media can be adapted to become non-interactive media perfectly, then the original media wasnt interactive at all

queen laurel
orchid lark
#

Most animes were Visual Novels

#

Technically an interactive media

rocky gale
#

Video game adaptations used to be a sort of self fulfilling prophecy, Hollywood didn't view video game stories as real stories so they didn't take them seriously, so they didn't make adaptations with the proper effort they needed, so they flopped.

orchid lark
#

Uwe Boll

#

Everyones favourite video game to movie director

rocky gale
#

Then because they flopped they'd say "See video game adaptations don't work"

orchid lark
#

The biggest issue is making them profitable enough to recoup losses

celest dome
orchid lark
#

By requiring it to be profitable youd need as much people in the seats as possible

#

Even now, gamers are not a massive market when you compare it to just general population

#

Arcane and The Fallout show are some of the best outliers ive seen

rocky gale
#

Last of Us as well

orchid lark
#

Hell the fucking music video that league did for the KDA skins is in the same park

#

You can make the best piece of work show ever for the fans, but if it makes little money, no ones really gonna be happy about it

#

Even if the actor gets 1 million bucks, and then you subtract his payments to things, the actor makes what, 600k for 3 years of work?

#

Imagine the basic actor who gets half of that for 3 years

#

Then the production teams and so on and so forth

thorn zenith
#

man the doom movie was a bit of a waste, absolute bangers first person section in an otherwise average movie

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

Would be even better if you live a more humble life compared to mansion-style shit.

#

Would save up even more money from that due to a lack of costs (mostly)

green loom
#

100k a year is almost more than I'd make my entire life frowncat

orchid lark
#

200k before tax and living costs in LA/NY

#

Also most actors arent hollywood royalty or from wealthier families

#

So much like most filipinos are also people who send back remittances

#

The smallest union salary for an actor in a film is 60k.

#

For the US anyway

plush mason
#

which is really good next to the minimum in many other lines of work

orchid lark
#

60k for a film that may take 2 years to shoot?

plush mason
#

i assume its a monthly salary

orchid lark
#

Actors dont get monthly salaries??

plush mason
#

ok then its dogshit

orchid lark
#

If their production company is good with their contract they might get allowances

#

Even if youre a good actor and act a lot, if you dont get a big break

#

Youre pretty much working for the rest of your life

#

Bruce Willis willingly gave his likeness to companies and ai companies because it meant his family didnt need to worry about dropping into poverty

plush mason
#

yeah being an actor is very much a trap, because the lucky ones end up making millions just by having their faces shown so people think its an easy way to get rich

orchid lark
#

I think the biggest thing people always forget is the point i made where they have to essentially look after their family as well

#

Like you can make lots of cash but youre also the breadwinner

plush mason
#

tbf a lot of households dont have just a single breadwinner anymore so that is part of why they forget that

storm jungle
orchid lark
#

Oh for sure

storm jungle
#

Harrison Ford literally shows up like a corpse on a set and just mumbles gets like a billion

#

Otherwise though yeah its the same with voice acting and so on, unless you get a big break you really much are just a nobody

plush mason
#

i love Ford but he really needs to retire

orchid lark
#

The Coppolas and Nicolas Cage are literal hollywood royalty

#

Fucking Martin and Charlie Sheen too

storm jungle
#

Cage I mostly let go because like he definitely is crazy lmfao

#

instead of buying cars he buys fucking historical relics and voodoo shit like a supervillain

#

đź’€

#

OR A PYRAMID GRAVE

orchid lark
#

I mean him and Marilyn Manson also got each others backs all the time too

storm jungle
plush mason
#

is he going Adam West or something?

orchid lark
#

Literally one goes bankrupt the other is ready to save the other

#

EVERY FUCKING TIME

green loom
#

Nick Cage is the superman we need

queen laurel
#

Like him playing crazy people is so natural it's actually concerning

storm jungle
#

Nick is also legit a good actor

#

the problem is hes also like an actual force of nature, you need to have a movie he fits into perfectly or he will absolutely ruin it with his acting lol

#

he very much comes off as a demon trapped in a man's body sometimes lmfao

outer wave
#

But even so, he's sort of a treat to watch

storm jungle
#

oh always

green loom
#

Who's the weird scientologist stuntman again

storm jungle
#

Tom Cruise

#

đź’€

outer wave
#

Ahh Tom Cruise

plush mason
#

they need to have him voice Pickolas Cage just for the luls

plush mason
#

or at least has started breaking ties

outer wave
#

Hopefully true

plush mason
#

ofc thats what happens when a literal comedy show exposes said cult for the ponzi scheme it really is

storm jungle
#

I loved it when the south park guys actually joined scientology to learn all about its "lore" so that the ycould mock it on the show

#

like that is Inquisition tier commitment

plush mason
#

that episode ruined the cult

outer wave
#

It's funny because on that same show, the guy that voiced the school's chef was part of Scientology

plush mason
#

yeah

outer wave
#

He just didn't care lmao and that's pretty based

plush mason
#

then he cult took him out of the show and later got him killed due to their shit medical beliefs

outer wave
#

Forgot how he died

plush mason
#

had a stroke and the cult had him exercise in a hot room because they dont like actual medicine or doctors

outer wave
#

Awful

green loom
#

Travolta is also a scientologist isn't he

plush mason
# outer wave Awful

and before that the cult member that was managing his work stuff when he first suffered the stroke pulled him out of southpark

#

fucking scientology is sickening

radiant lance
#

Are there any video games in the 40k universe?

#

Are they also a dead game?

green loom
#

Oh wait

plush mason
#

lmao

green loom
#

I think I recall a mention to some like

#

Space invaders type game or something

radiant lance
#

Oh I meant like an actual video game inside the 40k universe

green loom
#

Yeah I figured after

radiant lance
#

And not a game that is themed around the 40k universe irl

storm jungle
#

Yeah there is but like

#

its usually Atari-tier mind numbing stuff

#

because there isnt really a "company" in 40k that would make these things lol

radiant lance
#

Imagine capitalism existing in 40k

storm jungle
#

Well it does

green loom
#

Some mech priest's pet project

storm jungle
#

but still

radiant lance
#

Isn't most shit state owned?

storm jungle
#

Kinda but not really

#

its state owned in "name"

#

otherwise capitalism is everywhere in most imperial worlds, except you cannot do anything about your higherups abusing you and using you as literal slave labor lol

#

Rogue Traders are prob the biggest example

#

they are all about that merch

radiant lance
#

Well, they're "rogue," so technically outside of the state/government entirely

green loom
#

Things are state owned but the state is made up of various nobility

storm jungle
#

Well no

#

Rogue Traders got power but they still will answer to the Imperium

#

otherwise they will lose their status

radiant lance
#

Socialism just means no private property

storm jungle
#

Ironically thats what Eldar are more like lol

#

but they are also post-scarcity

radiant lance
#

Yeah socialism makes way more sense for a post scarcity society anyway

storm jungle
#

Pretty much yeah

#

eldar have no need for police on craftworlds etc because unlike us they wouldnt really raise any fuss.

#

people can become shopkeepers and sell free items just because they are bored

green loom
#

In 40k

storm jungle
#

Also corporations exist in the Imperium too its just not as wide as something like Star Wars

dire apex
#

It’s closest really to Chinese state capitalism. People own their private property and run the industry but property rights don’t stop the government from taking everything when they want to or feel like it

radiant lance
#

Marx noted that automation would eventually force a socialist society, and a socialist state will form once automation takes everything over. China considers itself a proto socialist state because they don't have the required automation yet

storm jungle
#

Ah yes my favorite đź’€

plush mason
radiant lance
#

AI is going to take our jerbs

storm jungle
#

they all also sell their own products

#

Van Saar, Escher and Orlock especially

plush mason
#

so literally the means of production is owned by the crimelords

#

who in turn are forced to pay up to the bigger crimelords at the top of the hive

storm jungle
#

A big majority is yep, the main Imperial House aka Helmawr's is kind of dependant on them.

#

exactly yeah

#

gangfighting is also encouraged

#

lmao

plush mason
#

hell the spire nobles sometimes hunt the lower hive dwellers for fun iirc

storm jungle
#

yeah those are Spyrers

#

basically suiting up to go kill homeless people

#

mostly for "fun" đź’€

celest dome
storm jungle
#

yeah but they arent quite at the top

#

especially with the recent events

plush mason
#

imagine if the admech ever learn about Van Saar's STC

storm jungle
#

they did send a team there once

#

they got "lost" searching for it, aka killed KEKW_ogryn

#

in compensation Van Saar gave the sniffers some older tech and they were satisfied

plush mason
#

i learned a little about that STC recently, seems another house that once ran the tech on necromunda tried to hack it

queen laurel
plush mason
#

the STC counterhacked them and ruined their equipment thus allowing Van Saar to finish them off and take over

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

the Van Saar house codex goes into it a lot, its super neat

plush mason
#

it really makes the STCs a lot more impressive than the old "just really fancy 3d printers" stuff

storm jungle
#

its great NODDERS

plush mason
#

image what a still fully intact and functional one is capable of

thorn zenith
plush mason
#

its little wonder the admech will literally move heaven and earth at the mere prospect of finding one

queen laurel
plush mason
#

do they still have a store of nukes?

#

because in the event of an imperial force trying to take over the planet i can see them giving said force the same treatment they gave the GSC

storm jungle
#

mfer expecting to see me at fancy restaurants while im munching on a local pizza store

plush mason
thorn zenith
storm jungle
#

same here tbh

#

i know these kinds of rich people exist but man is it rare

plush mason
#

lets face it, very few who seek wealth and fame are humble

queen laurel
#

Honestly a simple house is like easier to navigate in anyway so what's the point of having a giant *** mansion with complicated layouts and just some waste of money

#

If I really wanted to waste money I would go on a vacation somewhere

thorn zenith
#

And i mean, mansions couldnt easily be sold. Market is limited to fellow filthy rich people

plush mason
thorn zenith
#

Unless its something like castle or chateau with history

plush mason
#

you know why theaters have double doors? so the actors can fit their giant heads in

queen laurel
#

Yeah I just want a stable income and a house but even that is a tall order nowadays

plush mason
#

yeah

thorn zenith
#

I have em, but i live in buttfuck nowhere with farms as far as the eyes can see

#

But i am lazy and i would rather be a neet

plush mason
#

ngl that sounds like a great place to live

thorn zenith
#

Alas, the bills arent gonna pay themselves so i keep working

storm jungle
#

its literally working at Disney World but unlike IRL said rich person can shoot you just because he doesnt like you

thorn zenith
plush mason
#

or a space marine or something

storm jungle
#

And like

#

being a noble in 40k sucks too lol

plush mason
#

it all sucks

storm jungle
#

Sure you got pleasures at your fingertips but also daggers hanging over you too.

plush mason
#

even being a lord of terra sucks

thorn zenith
#

Hey at least on a paradise world you MIGHT get better quality of life in general, if only by a little bit

storm jungle
#

being a High Lord is just Stalin Simulator

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

you know what they say, fortune favors the bold lol

plush mason
#

proceeds to warp jump into a warp storm and dies in ways to horrible to imagine

storm jungle
plush mason
#

that can actually almost happen to you in the rogue trader CRPG in fact

#

if you fail the skill checks when you try to cross the Maw out of the expanse

thorn zenith
#

Luckily i focus on making routes safe rather than balling it with red jumps

plush mason
#

same

thorn zenith
queen laurel
#

the amount of demons skulls i have in my collection

plush mason
queen laurel
#

Let's just say funny

thorn zenith
#

Because now i am curious

plush mason
#

you make it to the port on the other side but they are stuck in a warp storm so you run back

#

and take like half your hull's hp in damage

thorn zenith
plush mason
#

that if you pass all the skill checks btw

#

fail any of them and its GG

thorn zenith
plush mason
#

yup

thorn zenith
#

Such an ass option, even more ass than instakilling you

plush mason
#

well its very much meant to be the "dumbass" move

#

your high factorum more or less says that at the start of the event

#

and it will instakill you if you fail any of the skill checks during the event

thorn zenith
#

I guess you get bragging rights for going through the maw and back, but god damn

plush mason
#

thats literally the reason you do it lol

tough haven
plush mason
#

nope

#

thats the ending

#

of that event at least

#

the expanse is cut off for the duration of the game afaik

tough haven
#

Darn, in one of the patch notes devs said something like “fixed the maw text event being incomplete” and I thought maybe the lack of options was a bug

plush mason
#

the great rift has basically closed the maw

tough haven
plush mason
#

yup

thorn zenith
#

Question, do warp storms affect realspace?

tough haven
#

Oh hell yeah

queen laurel
plush mason
#

very much so

#

there is no limit to what they can do to real space

queen laurel
#

in Dawn of war Soulstorm one of the plot points is that reinforcements can't enter the system because of a warp storm but there is a you know a skill that allows you to just get reinforcements for some reason but nobody cares

plush mason
#

move planets around, turn the star into a blackhole, turn the planets into blackholes

#

turn the people on them into mushrooms

#

there is no end to what can happen

queen laurel
#

Yeah just like the warp it's a very random thing

plush mason
#

the watcher in the rain story was a very tame example of what a warp storm can do to a world

thorn zenith
#

Man

#

I thouhht it wouldve been pretty funny if warp storms just stayed in the warp and theres nothing in realspace

#

Kinda like the subtler horror aspects of it tho, not the whole SHIT OIT DEMONS BY THE MILLIONS thing

#

That said, rogue trader crpg did have a few of those

#

Shame it was mostly in text form

plush mason
#

40k is full of little horror stories and unexplained events

#

its part of why i love the setting so much

thorn zenith
#

Im a horror fan, and i listened to a recap of watcher in the rain

#

The plots of a few other ones i saw didnt hit me quite as well

plush mason
#

yeah watcher in the rain is one of the best ones

#

its also a great example of how chaos isnt behind every traitor to the imperium

#

most times its just people that break under the strain the imperium puts on them

thorn zenith
#

The thing that kinda hits me in there was that theres a whole madhouse of former admin workers who went off the deep end from the strain

plush mason
#

yeah

#

and they where locked in the lower levels and forgotten

#

the world is being evacuated and no one even bother to try to get them out

thorn zenith
#

A whole warp fuckery going on and the imperiums worse enemy was still itself

plush mason
#

yup

#

the daemon called the watcher wasnt even a main focus

#

just an everlooming background threat

thorn zenith
#

I also do like how the daemon wasnt even fleshed out. Having things just be mysterious background thing is far more interesting than ITS A TZEENTCH MONSTA

plush mason
#

yeah

#

we have no idea what it even looked like because anyone that looked at it directly went insane and most killed themselves

#

hell even the servoskull got effected

#

10/10 horror story monster

thorn zenith
#

Indeed

radiant lance
#

The watcher was actually the good guy in that stoty

#

All it did was expose shitty people to their shittiness

plush mason
#

yup

#

hince the "go insane and kill themselves" reaction

#

still wonder what the fuck the servoskull saw tho

radiant lance
#

Ricardo

#

I looked up "Ricardo" and instead got a local Italian restaurant. Thanks y'all for indirectly getting me to find it

I remember watching some dudes firearm analysis and his takeaway was that all their gear is budget tier shit

dusk patrol
#

That’s what military grade means

#

The lowest bidder wins

arctic talon
#

Special Military Operation on Hellmire

#

should not take longer then 3 days

gray umbra
#

Unclock your railguns

spring cairn
#

72 hours of training is already overkill for a SEAF grunt

#

super earth truly spare no expense

sacred ginkgo
gray umbra
#

I need to play helldivers 2 again at some point

#

I kind of missed that entire sony drama

arctic talon
sacred ginkgo
#

That doesn’t feel like enough

#

But hey

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

idk

storm jungle
#

it came and went in like 3 days

arctic talon
#

There's a lot of shit planets lol

gray umbra
#

I dont care about it too much

#

Its inevitable

storm jungle
#

I care when my friends cant BUY THE GAME đź’€

#

or PLAY IT đź’€

sacred ginkgo
gray umbra
#

Truuue, i saw they cut access to certain regions

storm jungle
#

I thought they had fixed it too

gray umbra
#

Nah hell no

sacred ginkgo
spring cairn
#

you can still play if you own it but yeah no more buying it there

#

sony being sony i guess

arctic talon
dusk patrol
spring cairn
#

never had to interact with them before this game

dusk patrol
#

That’s why

arctic talon
#

you know the country where Sony is based

dusk patrol
#

Sony and Arrowhead made the correct choice

spring cairn
#

japan has it's own dub for helldivers

#

that you can't get unless you're in japan

gray umbra
#

Instead of democracy is it japanese imperialism

spring cairn
#

something something, va agencies

dusk patrol
gray umbra
#

Sounds accurate tbh

spring cairn
#

it does sound very cool, the voice acting

#

i've seen a few videos

dire apex
#

Japan has its own separate version, because yeah the va licensing but also their micro transaction laws

gray umbra
#

Something about the japanese language and how they emphasize their words is good

dusk patrol
#

Me, not sure if the other language dubs are good or if I just don’t understand what they’re saying so my mind thinks it’s good.

gray umbra
#

Total meme tier though

#

English vs russian dub for atomic heart

#

I just couldnt do the english va

gray umbra
#

And spent like the entire game not understanding what the fuck was going on because i missed subtitles

dusk patrol
spring cairn
#

aslong as the va puts energy into their acting

gray umbra
#

Something something polymers

dusk patrol
#

Who just learned what sex is

spring cairn
#

even if it's dogshit, i'll enjoy the va when i don't understand it

gray umbra
#

Big booba robots

dusk patrol
#

Metro is nice with the Russian version

gray umbra
#

I enjoy metro

dusk patrol
#

Which is technically the original

#

The English one is so over acted lol

bold wren
#

Metro is a book first too.

#

So it has something to follow

gray umbra
#

I have my hopes up for stalker 2

#

Even though i probably shouldnt

spring cairn
#

i played kcd in czech

#

was p cool

green loom
#

My favourite part of KCD is listening to the Cumans

green loom
#

Henry speaks Hungarian better than most of my contemporaries

storm jungle
#

voice acting moment

arctic talon
#

Voice acting def

#

lol

#

some people slur the words together

green loom
#

I like the dub for DiD

spring cairn
#

i hope kcd2 fucks

green loom
#

Oh I didn't even realize that Senshi is ProZD

arctic talon
#

simply play old anime fighters with Japanese audio only, you get to hear a wide variety of voice acting quality

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

I don't think he cares ngl

dusk patrol
#

Damn crazy

#

Anyways, who wants to get some noodles and fish? I hear it’s extra cheap today.

storm jungle
#

I really do love how he just gets dispatched instantly

#

and the scene that follows after

#

man OPM is good

spring cairn
#

s3 soon

storm jungle
#

im coping

dusk patrol
#

I have not seen S2 yet

#

But I did enjoy season 1

storm jungle
#

bruh

gray umbra
#

Whats the lore reason behind his hair loss

spring cairn
#

s1 will remain peak but i have decent hopes for s3

storm jungle
#

OOF

#

GOOD EDIT

gray umbra
#

Is it his crippling depression

dusk patrol
#

Dude discord

#

Fucking

#

Autocorrects

storm jungle
dusk patrol

To didn’t

green loom
dusk patrol
#

You fucking worthless system

gray umbra
#

Poor guy

storm jungle
gray umbra
#

He really is screwed

storm jungle
#

like no joke lol

dusk patrol
#

Peak human male is bald obviously

#

Duh

storm jungle
#

^

gray umbra
#

Ah yes hes become the andrew tate sigma male

storm jungle
#

me when 40k fans are making another "who would win" dumb argument and Saitama gets mentioned đź’€

gray umbra
#

With less sex trafficking

spring cairn
#

lost hair to optimise aerodynamics

arctic talon
#

he has a better jawline

#

smh

gray umbra
#

Ok who would win

storm jungle
#

Saitama every time

gray umbra
#

Ok but

dusk patrol
#

Who would win, my foot vs your ass

storm jungle
#

his entire joke is that he cannot lose

gray umbra
#

My ass

spring cairn
#

written to only win yeah

dusk patrol
#

True your ass is pretty nice

storm jungle
#

yeah this

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

he's a joke character

storm jungle
#

its not about having a good fight for him but also being humble

spring cairn
#

so saitama solo every fiction

gray umbra
#

Everyone can appreciate a good dumpie

storm jungle
#

he admits he could crack the planet apart if he wanted to đź’€

spring cairn
#

literally

dusk patrol
#

But yeah he’s a joke character done well in a universe which plays it straight

storm jungle
#

^

#

Like that entire sea king episode

#

that monster kicks everyones ass

#

Saitama kills it instantly and people think everyone else just sucked

dusk patrol
#

His entire concept is he’s like a meme fanfic OC character in a brutal very serious universe

green loom
storm jungle
#

so he acts like an asshole so that he can take the blame etc

gray umbra
#

People love the my fictional universe vs yours debate

#

Ez reddit karma

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

or just power scalers in general

spring cairn
#

which is why i loved the boros fight classic anime vilain going all out vs the joke characater

storm jungle
#

same

green loom
#

We should scale them off a cliff

storm jungle
#

also the ending to that thing

dusk patrol
# green loom

Idk why Andrew Tate is the famous one every time I see him and his brother Tristan is just Andrew but funnier, handsomer, and more cool.

storm jungle
#

where Boros just says Saitama wasnt even trying

#

and that the fight was basically pointless

#

its great

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

i haven't been spoiled the garou fight but i've been told it's peak fiction

green loom
dusk patrol
#

Tristan is the real sigma male, he does the same shit but doesn’t get most of the flak cause he lets his brother be the dumb one

green loom
#

Like 99% of his shit takes exist to propel his name

storm jungle
#

lmao

#

Its very fun

green loom
#

And like, it works

storm jungle
#

He also constantly tells Garou that hes an edgelord and that he should stop trying to be one.

green loom
#

It's how all the grifters online work except he's a more hip grifter compared to like

#

Nazis who get mad at toys

dusk patrol
#

He’s charismatic

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

He’s dumb but he is a good talker

storm jungle
#

but also yeah what makes Saitama work is he kind of has that Clark Kent personality

#

"I just live my life and sometimes like helping people"

dusk patrol
#

He’s also kinda just dumb

#

Or naive

green loom
#

I haven't watched OPM

dusk patrol
#

It’s a fun show

#

Very unique

#

Kinda a spoof show of a lot of that sort of anime

#

Just so there’s no confusion

#

This is the climax fight of the first season

gray umbra
#

Walking

#

MENACINGLY

dusk patrol
#

Where he’s avoiding the big bads attacks by fast walking backwards

storm jungle
#

you also get "oh shit" moments when he says hes finally gonna do a Serious Punch

#

aka all his attacks before werent serious

#

đź’€

gray umbra
#

I havent watched a lot of anime recently

storm jungle
#

theres too much trash

#

mostly why

gray umbra
#

Last thing i watched was the meme factory that is attack on titan

dusk patrol
#

Me when a friend recommends me an anime and then I ask him if it has loli or harem shit in it and he has to do that awkward “ok yeah but it’s really good you out gotta ignore that”

#

Which tbf he’s probably right a lot

gray umbra
#

"Oh my god it was the nazis all along"

dusk patrol
#

But fuck me I just can’t

gray umbra
#

Nah i respect that

#

Its weird

#

Lil sus

dusk patrol
#

It’s sucks cause there’s legit some great shows

#

Which just have that stuff for no reason

gray umbra
#

But it has to be about a 12 year old

dusk patrol
#

Well, not no reason

#

I mean I’m not saying he’s sus, he just likes good shows and really doesn’t like that stuff either

gray umbra
#

The content not the person

dusk patrol
#

It was his primary issues with Hunter x Hunter

gray umbra
#

I just personally cant

dusk patrol
#

But at least with that

#

It’s the actual villain being a creep

gray umbra
#

I think what put me off was sword art online

dusk patrol
#

Cyberpunk had the same shit it’s so cringe

gray umbra
#

I was like wow thats a pretty good setting

#

Oh

#

Its a harem

arctic talon
#

unlike other things

gray umbra
#

Oh yeah rebecca

green loom
#

Meta mention of people comparing hades to the crappy anime with god waifus who look like generic anime girls

gray umbra
#

Like ths roguelike?

green loom
#

Yeah

dusk patrol
gray umbra
#

O

arctic talon
#

LOL

#

have you seen

#

the official cup

gray umbra
#

Its great

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Cup?

gray umbra
#

She gets turned into a god damn coaster

dusk patrol
#

lol

#

Omg

#

I kinda want that

arctic talon
#

Its so fucking funny

queen laurel
radiant lance
#

Yeah I hope their ratings flatten because of that

paper haven
radiant lance
#

I think this will absolutely crush anyone who likes the show

#

I don't think it landed well

#

I have to really know though, how did Rebecca not think "I should not stand under a falling cyberborg after he jumped out of a skyscraper"

#

Or at least have like the basic primal urge of "don't have fast object hit you"

arctic talon
#

I think it’s funny as shit lol

#

And I liked the show

dusk patrol
#

I’m just happy Rebecca died

#

The way she died made it better but

#

Adam getting to actually show why he’s so feared was nice too

winter vessel
#

I now pull off to the side while driving in NC whenever "I really want to Stay at your house" plays on my radio. always

dusk patrol
#

Slaps

storm jungle
#

he basically is just a Space Marine with speed-enhancements

queen laurel
winter vessel
#

that was a real Darth Vader moment like in Jedi Fallen Order. It's not about fighting, its about running.

storm jungle
#

YEP

winter vessel
#

and I do like the visual representation of Cyberpsychosis, from the game its just another bounty. But edgerunners show the result of "Hurr durr, I am become the Smartphone" with how much tech you put in your body

paper haven
paper haven
dusk patrol
#

Basically a “welcome to the big leagues kiddo” moment

radiant lance
paper haven
#

What did he call it?
A child's toy?
Bro, that was an instant win button up until that point.

queen laurel
#

The gravity exoskeleton was made originally for him too and i genuinely do not want to see him cause damage with that thing

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Which is funny because this thing could produce enough gravity to crush tanks and vehicles apart

dusk patrol
#

A Sandivistan is the barrier to entry

winter vessel
#

"oh so you think the Sandevistan is your ally?"

dusk patrol
#

Tbh I do wish they’d show Max Tac with them too

#

Since 1000% they’d have them too

radiant lance
#

Honestly, David 100% should have won that fight

storm jungle
#

David had like a ton of it lol

radiant lance
queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Yeah it’s more you give a fucked up person a insanely dangerous body and it becomes a lot more notable when they snap

queen laurel
#

Anyway you slice it

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

like the dark thing with the story is everything is David's fault

queen laurel
#

He is literally starting to mentally break down from all of the damage starting to pile up

storm jungle
#

if he was smart he would have left the city

paper haven
#

How did I describe Cyberpsychosis before?
"It's like if Dementia and Schizophrenia decided that they wanted to become a computer virus."

dusk patrol
#

The point of the story is David thinks he’s hot shit in the big leagues and Adam is him actually meeting the big leagues

winter vessel
#

and from the RPG take its also about the tolerance .The "Empathy" stat,

queen laurel
#

He did something right once in his life

dusk patrol
#

Pfft she was already depressed

#

What’s new

#

That what she gets for trying to feel something

#

Hopefully she’ll have learned her lesson

snow fern
#

I think the excuse they use for V never going cyber psycho is because they literally got 2 minds in their head to handle the tech

radiant lance
winter vessel
#

"and impressive cock"

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much, Johnny outdoes it mostly and V isnt that heavily augmented

paper haven
#

Why the hell didn't Lucy just tell David what was going on?

storm jungle
#

the tragedy is none of this would have happened if they didnt lie to each other

snow fern
#

Kids are dumb

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

Its almost all David's fault

#

like he should have left Night City the moment Maine died

#

he told him to keep running and dont look back

dusk patrol
#

We see with Max Tac plenty of people can adjust fine to a lot of augments

snow fern
storm jungle
#

but he didnt listen

radiant lance
#

Technically, you can severely tech up before the heist/before you get the relic

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

All the “cyberpsychos” you meet aren’t that way cause their augments mostly

#

Half of them aren’t even psychos really

queen laurel
#

How many times do people forget that v has a literal chip that constantly rewrites her brain

radiant lance
#

Cyberpsychosis is a really complicated issue with many facets. Part of it is also medical

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

Like the one special forces guy with the sandivistan is just going on a rampage cause his daughter

snow fern
#

I was under the impression Max Tac was just cyber psychos that could function enough to be attack dogs ie eversors

dusk patrol
#

It’s just all grouped into cyberpsochois cause no one cares

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Max Tac is partially made up of reformed “cyberpsychos”

snow fern
#

Now, Adam is a legit Psychopath, he didn't really have anywhere to fall when they installed all his stuff

dusk patrol
#

Not clear how many but they take anyone who has effective combat cybernetics

#

Adam is just a high functioning psychopath

winter vessel
#

Its funny because I wouldn't mind cyberware to my limbs or my body, but I draw the line replacing my eyes, both eyes even, can't stand that. and that's one of two implants you get at the start of the game.

radiant lance
dusk patrol
#

And he gets to go on killing sprees so he’s happy

#

Yeah

paper haven
#

I think it was specifically mentioned that Adam was a monster before he got the implants

dusk patrol
#

He was

#

He was kinda nuts then he got himself blown up

#

Arasaka basically gave him the only offer

#

Let us rebuild you and work for us or die

#

And they’ve kept upgrading him since and he follows orders

queen laurel
#

Yeah people who are naturally just good with dealing with their mental health usually last long with cybernetics no matter how much they install

winter vessel
#

the humanity stat

dusk patrol
#

He also has other bodies which helps

snow fern
#

I do say I love games like VTM or Cyberpunk Red where there's just a character that is a walking tpk Kaine or Adam etc. "You fight them, and you lose"
They need to do a Pre Episode 4 Star Wars RPG where Vader is that

paper haven
#

I keep forgetting that David was a teenager.

queen laurel
#

Adam he's just so deranged that he doesn't even start being psychotic because he just accept who he is

dusk patrol
#

He had a fling with the one Araska daughter

winter vessel
radiant lance
queen laurel
snow fern
radiant lance
#

The tabletop lore gets weird

dusk patrol
#

Yeah one of his other bodies looks like Elvis with Blonde hair

#

So he fuck

snow fern
#

Skinny Johnny Bravo then

dusk patrol
#

He’s got that fuckable piece of meat rizz

radiant lance
#

Also, Yorinbu is the good guy

paper haven
#

Johnny Bravo.

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

Yorinobu was basically trying to bring down the company down for a good cause yeah

queen laurel
#

So they just keep it somewhere and like bluetooth it to a body

dusk patrol
#

Probably

storm jungle
#

hes 98% bionic

dusk patrol
#

It’s changed as time goes on

storm jungle
#

its very likely its just his brain and maybe frontal "face"

snow fern
#

Now if Yorinobo bothered to tell anybody the plan instead of what went down in 2077

dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t be shocked if he comes back too tbh

paper haven
#

Wasn't Yorinobu the kid? Killed his dad?

#

Main enemy of main game?

snow fern
#

yes

dusk patrol
#

Arasaka 100 made copies of Adam

snow fern
#

Good think I killed their immortality machine

dusk patrol
#

Pictured: Adam before he rails his bosses daughter

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

His cyberizz is unstoppable

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

its fucked up

queen laurel
#

So i'm pretty sure they made multiple constructs of him

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

radiant lance
dusk patrol
#

If David became as cybernetic as he is

queen laurel
#

That is also a fair point

#

But then again this is a universe where an implant can make you fast enough to basically slow time around you so personality cloning isn't that far of

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

It’s Cyberpunk “You got moxie kid I’ll give you that.”

paper haven
#

So which of the two is more fucked up?
Adam or the Arisaka daughter

snow fern
dusk patrol
#

She’s fucked too

#

But Adam is jsut

#

Completely irredeemable

snow fern
#

High Functioning Psychopath vs Open Psychopath

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

She’s more just like

#

Irony tower awful

#

Doesn’t care about the peasants

queen laurel
#

He gives a mechanicus a run for their money

dusk patrol
#

But she doesn’t get off to killing people

radiant lance
#

Tbh, I kinda want CD Red to make the cyberpunk sequel first before the witcher sequel they're working on

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

Adam actually loves mass murdering and he does it a lot

#

He loves unnecessary collateral

arctic talon
#

Wonder if it’s gona be post 2077

#

Or before it

snow fern
#

Maelstrom are the worst, it makes sense Adam's mechanic is one

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

radiant lance
arctic talon
#

Neat

snow fern
winter vessel
#

but they haven't specified what kind of game it will be?

arctic talon
#

It’s gona be in the style of 2077 prolly

#

Would be weird not to be

#

If it’s a crpg that would be funny as shit

dusk patrol
#

Curious what city it’ll be or if it’ll be multiple

snow fern
#

Orion would be a mostly original story then? Not that 2077 isn't but it has a bit of grounding in old lore

radiant lance
#

There's a lot of really good writing in cyberpunk 2077

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Night City is obviously a pretty ideal spot but it is weird how like everyone special is there

arctic talon
#

I doubt it won’t be

paper haven
#

Hey Adam, you know how in most cases it's a bad look if one of our agents levels half the city trying to stop a thief?
We're gonna hire you specifically to do that.

snow fern
#

I mean I guess you could do Cyberpunk outside of Night City

arctic talon
#

Would be weird

#

But meh

snow fern
dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

^

dusk patrol
#

He’s there to send a message

#

He’s basically an Eversor

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

Arasaka has subtle assassins

#

He is not that

paper haven
#

Oh I know

snow fern
#

Well the Nomad start is still mostly in and around Night City

#

Not that I'd neccessarily mind a Mad Max esc game

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

The best start is Corpo or nomad

#

Streetkid blows lol

#

Like genuinely dogshit

paper haven
#

Cyberpunk Mad Max would be pretty sick

dusk patrol
#

It does suck how no matter what you basically end up street kid

snow fern
#

King of Wands goes so well with Nomad V

dusk patrol
#

But corpo was the most interesting for me

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

paper haven
#

All the starting backgrounds just wind up being Street kid anyway.

arctic talon
#

Doesn’t matter that much

#

It’s the way it’s presented that matters

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Streetkid is lame + you share no real connection with Jackie

snow fern
#

I outa reinstall the game and do a corpo run at some point, maybe Gorilla arms melee stuff

arctic talon
#

Lol

winter vessel
paper haven
#

Gorilla arms and Sandevestan. David build for revenge.

radiant lance
#

Oh Project Orion has a full dev team that split off from Poland, and they're in full production as of this January

#

I need more dystopian future depression. Pls

snow fern
#

You could play Deus Ex?

#

The first one

#

Or the new 2 they're alright

David cage game

Absolute dogshit

All I know is the VA for Mr.Krabs was in it

arctic talon

The android rights thing isn’t related to black rights mother fucker you put multiple MLK quotes in

arctic talon
#

God

David cage is such a fucking hack

snow fern

I still can't believe I did all the boxing stuff with un-augmented arms

Imagine a tech nerd wins a fist fight against an MMA Heavyweight champ lmao

winter vessel
arctic talon

Simply don’t get hit

dusk patrol
#

Looking at you Marvel

paper haven
#

"Androids aren't human though and the events of the game sort of justifies their treatment. What was David Cage trying to say here?"

arctic talon
#

And then directly quotes

#

MLK

dusk patrol
#

It’s so cringe

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Like 4 to 5 separate fucking times

#

Like oh my god lol

#

David Cage is just shit at writing

#

Tbh

#

It’s insane

paper haven

Wait, David Cage said it wasn't a civil rights allegory?
