there's more rights activists than MLK and like, 90% of these fools need to read "Letters from a Birmingham Jail" and see what mlk thought of em

dusk patrol
#

He claimed he wasn’t drawing from the Civil Right movement

paper haven
#

Because, he's wrong.

radiant lance
#

Tbh, I only know the one story about the robot wife killing their human owner/husband and taking the kid

#

I thought it would be that sort of level of interesting writing

paper haven
#

Robot maid, actually.

radiant lance
#

Close enough

dusk patrol
#

Well the problem is David Cage can only write with a hammer

#

So everyone is a caricature

arctic talon
#

He’s the one who wrote it

dusk patrol
#

Until they’re now good

arctic talon
#

Conner and the uh

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Hank yeah

snow fern
arctic talon
#

Were the only good parts

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

And that was because of improv they did

#

The whole Kara thing is terrible

#

Why is the child also an android

dusk patrol
#

I legit wanted the androids to fail so I could stop seeing the main dudes stupid face

snow fern
#

Hank was the best thing

arctic talon
#

That literally ruins

#

The whole point

paper haven
#

Isn't one of the storylines a full on terminator style judgement day?

arctic talon
#

Of the fucking message

#

Like oh my god

#

What is the FUCKING POINT

#

THEN

#

WHEN THEY’RE BOTH ANDROIDS

#

Hack writer

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

But you see Elite uh it’s uh

#

A twist

paper haven
#

Yeah, I thought the kid was also an android.

snow fern
#

I should rewatch Terminator 2, boy and his dog(death robot)

arctic talon
#

The kid being an android ruins it

dusk patrol
#

The twist was you though the plot would be decent

#

But then it sucks

arctic talon
#

It’s a David cage game

winter vessel
#

"Connor me boy"

arctic talon
#

I pirate them

#

Exclusively to stream them

paper haven
#

Which means that. The android maid murdered a man to protect... an android kid?

snow fern
#

I mean, did we forget Heavy Rain?

arctic talon
#

To 7 other people so we can laugh at it

#

Heavy rain is also dogshit

#

Lol

winter vessel
dusk patrol
snow fern
#

Did we as a collective forget his silly things?

paper haven
#

David Cage is the Origami Killer!

snow fern
arctic talon
#

Heavy Rain is dogshit in its own way

#

But Detroit says it’s not based on the civil rights

#

Which elevates it

#

To a higher degree

#

Of horrid story telling

snow fern
#

not civil rights into a mlk quote in the opening cutscene

paper haven
#

I remember trying to make the bad guy win Heavy Rain. Legit the most difficult path.

dusk patrol
#

David Cage is just happy no one ever played beyond two souls so no one ever says how shit it is

arctic talon
#

It doesn’t fucking let you

#

It’s almost impossible

#

There’s 0 realistic fucking consequences in most of cage’s shit games

dusk patrol
#

This is a metaphor for David Cage being a hack

snow fern
#

Heavy Rain but you fail all the QTE is a fun time

arctic talon
#

Detroit is the only one with actual consequences

paper haven
#

Closest I got was he made it and then some random lady just shoots the guy at the end.

arctic talon
#

Oh also the way he writes women freaks me out

#

Like

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

My god

shadow plover
#

why the fuck is there David Cage posting in here

arctic talon
#

Because someone brought up Detroit

#

Become human

paper haven
#

And chat lost it's mind

dusk patrol
#

Detroit would have been so much better if it was just about Conner

shadow plover
#

destroy them

snow fern
#

We were talking cyberpunk dystopias

shadow plover
#

Detroit had nothing going for it

#

it was shit

#

so shit

snow fern
#

correct

#

eh Hank is fun

paper haven
#

All cyber punk discussions eventually devolve into being mad about David Cage.

arctic talon
shadow plover
#

David Cage is the most awful hack in the whole industry

dusk patrol
#

Conner and Hank are good but besides that

snow fern
#

28 STAB WOUNDS

dusk patrol
#

It should have just been a detective game with Connor but the problem is

#

He already did that with Heavy Rain

shadow plover
#

which also sucked

arctic talon
#

Here, have a shitty civil rights allegory that comes off as insanely offensive

dusk patrol
#

Instead we get Armani model revolution

arctic talon
#

While the writer says it’s unrelated to the civil rights movement

paper haven
#

So the virtual detective glasses. Were those... addictive?

arctic talon
#

Uhhh

#

I don’t remember

dusk patrol
#

I hate how transparent he is too

shadow plover
#

David Cage shouldn't be allowed to make games, they're offensively bad with their shitty stories

dusk patrol
#

“This is and guy, he ugly and mean”

#

“This is good android, she hot and sexy”

arctic talon
#

Mark my words

shadow plover
#

as if Detroid wasn't bad enough

dusk patrol
arctic talon
shadow plover
#

😩

arctic talon
#

You just get

dusk patrol
#

“It’s not about civil rights guys”

arctic talon
#

A mild dose of it instead

#

David cage should never be allowed to write again

dusk patrol
#

Preorder now to get the Rodney King dlc.

shadow plover
#

just a mention of the fucking guy gets my blood boiling

paper haven
#

I just find it hilarious that the guy who made the game doesn't seem to understand what it is about.

arctic talon
#

I’ve read and watched a lot of dogshit

arctic talon
#

The stuff he makes is top tier for horrid writing

dusk patrol
#

He’s just dodging the criticism

#

Cause it’s obviously a bad look

paper haven
#

So he's just an idiot

arctic talon
#

No

dusk patrol
#

He’s a cowardly hack

#

He can’t even own what he writes

arctic talon
#

He just doesn’t want to acknowledge it

#

Or anything probalamtic he writes

#

Lol

shadow plover
#

he is also an idiot

arctic talon
#

He’s also sexist

#

Lol

paper haven
#

The game cannot not be about civil rights.

shadow plover
#

among many other awful things

snow fern
#

They literally did a back of the bus allegory like

dusk patrol
#

David Cage is the Mike Brooks of video games

arctic talon
#

No

#

That’s an insult to brooks

snow fern
#

"not a civil rights allegory" my ass

arctic talon
#

Smh

dusk patrol
#

At least Marvel for how stupid the comparison is acknowledges what they’re doing with mutants and the civil rights movement

arctic talon
#

I know you’re Brooks #1 hater eternal

shadow plover
arctic talon
#

LOL

#

I don’t think I’ve met anyone who like genuinely likes Detroit become human

snow fern
#

Okay but they point out with X-Men that it's fucking stupid only mutants are discriminated against when the likes of "the entire rest of Marvel" exists

dusk patrol
#

He’s trash I won’t take it back

bold wren
#

What even is being said.

dusk patrol
#

I’ve seen people like Detroit tbh

arctic talon
#

Death

paper haven
#

Ah yes. Mutants.
Wait what was the Will SMith magic movie?

dusk patrol
#

They’re potential dangerous as fuck

#

It’s a dumb comparison

paper haven
#

I saw it once and it was. Really bad.

bold wren
#

You mean that most people are stupid.

snow fern
dusk patrol
#

The idea that mutants who can accidentally vaporize their town are the same as being gay or being black is jsut

#

Goofy

bold wren
#

That's all I got from it.

paper haven
#

The story about the kid vaporizing his own town was sad.

dusk patrol
#

There’s a reason you’d want to track and could have concerns of random people being given those powers

#

Iceman can literally end the universe potentially

paper haven
#

Some people become gods, worshiped by their culture.
Others kill all their friends and family without realizing it and with no way to predict or control it.

snow fern
dusk patrol
#

Xavier isn’t even Omega level and he can cause untold devastation and find out insanely dangerous things

bold wren
#

I don't see what you are trying to reference.

dusk patrol
paper haven
#

Wasn't Xavier going senile a huge fucking problem?

dusk patrol
#

The allegory of civil rights to mutant rights is dumb

#

Cause mutants are insanely dangerous potentially

dusk patrol
snow fern
#

Magneto is right then?

arctic talon
#

No?

dusk patrol
#

And yeah he kinda killed the X men

bold wren
#

Wolverine casually nearly going insane.

#

And the only living one left usually.

dusk patrol
# snow fern Magneto is right then?

My point is you cannot write “Kid with ice powers that can end the universe is kinda concerning, this is literally the same as when the government oppressed black or gay people.”

bold wren
#

Deadpool is the more powerful

paper haven
#

Magneto was correct. In that, humans would inevitably try to control mutants because they're incredibly dangerous and unpredictable so his solution was... take over the world? I don't know what his actual end goal was.

dusk patrol
#

If we had a race of people who randomly had potentially world devastating or even jsut super dangerous powers then yeah

bold wren
#

Man has the power of 4th wall breaking.

dusk patrol
#

I think some concern is warranted

bold wren
#

Magneto was also naive himself why do you think he is a villian?

#

There is a reason.

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

Even on the lowest level scale, Xavier if he wanted could have done horrific stuff forever and never been caught

arctic talon
#

Sentenced to normal marvel character being written by a X-men writer

snow fern
#

||God we went from David Cage to Magneto morality discussion make it stop||

bold wren
#

You mean like the Scarlet Witch

dusk patrol
#

Xavier if he wanted could puppet governments

arctic talon
#

I don’t even read marvel comics

bold wren
#

Who is dangerous

arctic talon
#

Or comics that much in general

dusk patrol
#

Scarlet witch is her own deal of insane

arctic talon
#

We can stop lol

gray umbra
#

Magneto was right

paper haven
#

The comics get really weird.

dusk patrol

The irony of Magneto is he just proved the concerns right

Magneto was right until you get Scarlet Witch who is delusional

Leagues of votaan lore in the tau codex amiright

As time goes on, the writers are forced to make more and more elaborate moves in order to maintain internal consistency.

The Leagues of Votann worked with other xenos.

Despite they're abhumans.

Are the Leagues of Votann abhumans?

#

Who work with the Tau?

snow fern

Yes Squats are abhumans

bold wren

Yes they are believed to be based off humans.

“Charles you don’t understand they’re going to hate us anyways so I need to genocide them first. Charles can’t you see how they are, now that they hate us cause I tried to do a little genocide? Charles why can’t you understand how right I am.”

arctic talon
#

But they consider themselves not human

#

They also aren’t connected to imperial culture

#

So they can get called xenos sometimes

#

Regarding the leagues of votaan

bold wren
#

Because abhumans are still there own things despite human.

#

My favorite part of Magneto, is as we have learned how fucking hilariously overpowered Electromagnetism is, Magneto has gone from, guy tricked by wooden gun to, guy who can literally just destroy everything

storm jungle
#

Yeah thats what makes him great

dusk patrol
#

The funny thing is I don’t think he’s even omega level technically

storm jungle
#

Im PRETTY sure hes not

Magneto is hilariously powerful.

storm jungle
#

its his power that makes him OP

misty brook
#

His alpha level.

bold wren
#

I need to buy that power washing dlc.

storm jungle

his power is on the same vein as "if you get near me i wipe you from existence accidentally"

Tbh they just ignore the metal thing eventually so it’s more just

storm jungle

#

“I rip you apart”

misty brook
#

Though they recently changed the mutant power levels. So Magneto is a Omega level mutant of magnetism.

#

My headcanon is that Magneto is purposfully holding back in a sort of 4d chess move to make the X-men more able to defeat him therefore ensuring that humanity doesn't do a genocide against mutants.

question question

#

can a tech priest be a psyker?

#

or only until they decide to exchange most if not all of their parts with metal?

#

at what point would they lose psychic ability?

rocky gale
#

Psyker ability is tied to the soul, so replacing body parts probably doesn't do much to diminish it

#

But no, Psykers can't typically become a Tech Priest due to the limited roles Psykers are forced into

#

Although I guess it's potentially possible a Tech Priest could be revealed to be a Psyker/suddenly become one through some sort of Psychic Awakening, but who knows what would happen to them.

storm jungle
#

Its mostly handwaved away with "any psyker born on a mechanicus planet is given to the black ships" etc

outer wave
#

Huh

paper haven
#

A tech-psyker would be just a bit too much for the writers to figure out.

arctic talon
#

since he couldn't control his powers properly and the tech priests saw it as a "blessing by the omnissiah"

#

but it has happened regarding someone part of the mechanicus undergoing a psychic awakening. they just get treated as a tool to use lol

snow fern
#

Isn’t removing body parts also connected to your soul or something and that affects a psyker’s power? Idk, I guess if I wanted to play a tech psyker so bad there’s the first 3 Mass Effects

arctic talon
#

it makes your psychic presence seem weaker

snow fern
#

There’s also the whole tech so advanced it may as well be magic aspect of 40k, particularly when regarding Necrons or DoaT Imperium

arctic talon

but seeing as iron hands librarians still have cybernetics

#

it doesn't seem to effect casting too hard

snow fern

I suppose most psykers do have augments anyways. Either implanted psy crystals or bomb collars

#

And the tubes

Psykers love their tubes

It does kinda stink when cool ideas either get barely spoken of or otherwise not done anything with. Like imagine if an artist drew half of their magnum opus then just stopped, not to make a point on artistry or died tragically in a banana incident or whatever, they just stopped and it was never elaborated on

azure knoll
# snow fern It does kinda stink when cool ideas either get barely spoken of or otherwise not...

this happens quite a lot with stories actually. dark souls mentioned so many awesome things but never elaborated on anything. so many theories that will never be confirmed. many many things taken for granted are just popular fan interpretations (for example, what race was gwyn and the gods? was he and the other 3 original lords a giant? what was the general populace of lordran like? everything looks ginormous and there look to be giants in places, but how do we know they weren't of a god-race, same as gwyn, where gwyn just got a soul? actually, what are souls? there's the 4 original lord souls, sure, but everything seems to have a soul eventually. humans are obvious, as they are the descendants of the furtive pygmy, but wtf do we do about dogs? dragons/drakes?...)

#

we might never get to know what the emperor is, to bring it back to warhammer, but there will always be fan theories that become the defacto reality

#

shit, FNAF mentions so many different interesting concepts and has an insane amount of loose ends. we will never know what the story was supposed to be like, because of scott actually told us, it wouldn't be the fun and interactive mystery it is and has been

#

this mystery, this drive of "what is" or "what could have been" is what drives fan interest and... brings in money

#

wanna know why i started playing dark souls? because i saw videos of lore explanations. because the story was mysterious, weird, i wanted to learn more by playing the game, experience it for myself. so i bought the games. fromsoft got money because of their open-ended writing

What are your thoughts on the 40k dlc in Powerwash simulator lore wise.

#

It's interesting

#

Seeing the Ad Mech cleaning things. It's niche but interesting.

plush mason
#

tbch i see it as canon now

#

thats how they clean the blessed war mechines

bronze tinsel
#

They need to ensure the Machines are clean before they can perform rites and anoint them in holy oils and incense.

Sanctified washer to cleanse the stain of chaos

#

Me likey

snow fern
#

Being the power washer engiseer seems like the best job in the imperium

bold wren
#

It's actually relaxing?

#

Cleaning holy machines sounds pretty nice to me. At least you aren't a servitor.

plush mason
#

ye

#

and ofc the cleaning of such sacred and holy machines would be seen as a privilege to the engiseers that are tasked with it

bold wren
#

Out of all jobs it's better then approaching filthy heretics

Until you’re cleaning land raiders after a battle against nurgle

#

There is a unstoppable Tyranid fleet.

#

Because there is nids that ate daemons and gain psychonic powers.

#

Scary that they can gain powers and can even eat daemons.

#

Does the warp combine with the eaten daemons.

winged jacinth
#

I dunno how you found out about that one without reading the wiki

bold wren
#

I mean they hunt daemons probably for sport as they lack any bio-mass that can be eaten.

#

But it's a specific hive.

#

And it's a genuine risk to go after a daemon even as Tyranids.

dusk patrol
#

Kronos isn’t unstoppable, they’ve just adapted to dealing with chaos

#

They’re fairly small and have existed for a long time

bold wren
#

How have they survived

radiant lance
#

They get fed by other fleets

bold wren
#

As they usually die on worlds like that but daemonic worlds probably have bio-mass.

#

And less then daemons themselves

rocky gale
#

Yea they can't eat Daemons, so the fleet is tasked with killing Daemons, while other fleets leave them survivors on conquered worlds so they can replenish their numbers

bold wren
#

Kroot are just yautja of 40k

#

Pretty similar

#

So much so how they function on Catachan

#

Just reminds me of Predator

orchid lark
#

Space Marine Scouts are the Yautja of 40k

#

No wait, Striking Scorpions

#

No wait, The Deathwatch

bold wren
#

Eh they look more like jackals from halo

#

But jackals are probably based on Yautja themselves

#

As they're reptilian

#

But the culture of Kroot and Yautja is quite similar in brutality and savagery.

#

They love the thrill of the hunt.

bold wren
#

Yeah but Yautja are more tribal and less using junk.

#

Orks are known for scrapping things and Yautja have a set culture of hunting. Less then fighting wars.

#

Ranging from regular hunters to bounty hunters. But they like hunting things and will catch whatever they can get their hands on. But usually some tough prey, so them being insane enough to fight the most dangerous aliens wouldn't be surprising.

crisp heath
#

An ork would decimate a Yautja too

#

Yautja jump their opponents a lot, then when they wanna be “honorable” and give their prey a good last fight they get bodied lol

#

I’ve not read the comics

queen laurel
#

Or at the bare minimum at least match them at strength

#

The same cannot be said for war bosses and Nobz

thorn zenith
#

yea iirc Yautjas are just a wee bit above humans

pine wedge
#

I would say that they're pretty handily twice as strong as the strongest humans, but it varies a bit from depiction to depiction. they've alternated between lean and athletic to hulking juggernaughts

queen laurel
pine wedge
#

bears clock in at about 270kg, which is heavier than anything a human has overhead pressed

queen laurel
#

They could physically tear apart the spine of a human too

#

And that's also no easy feat

#

And of course they can break down rock walls which is pretty decent

pine wedge
#

yeah very good grip strength

#

that said I wouldn't be surprised if the average Ork outperforms a Yautja for raw strength

queen laurel
#

bare minimum even normal boyz could at least match some of the predators in raw strength

#

it's when you include nobz and warbosses that they really begin to suffer

pine wedge
#

yeah for sure

#

the mass difference alone becomes problematic to overcome

#

what I would really like to see is a predator and a lictor locked in a deadly game of hide and seek

near wasp
#

Yautja would love hunting lictors

crisp heath
#

Yajuta do kill xenomorph queens

#

Who are way bigger, stronger, faster and smarter then an full grown warrior ork

#

Faster might be not exactly right but it’s not too far

#

But this is only the most elite of warriors who can accomplish this and it’s not just pound for pound brute fighting they have a lot of powerful tools to help

#

I’ve always seen their strength as duelists and assassins

#

The funny thing is they actually have a lot of experience with psionic foes as the larger xenomorphs have psionic powers

#

They’d probably fit in with the tau as elite assassins but eh

river walrus
#

here is real lore, Ulgo love opra! bootiful voices!

crisp heath
#

The biggest weakness is that Yautja are not as cute as xenomorphs

near wasp
#

Cute?

outer wave
#

So whats the difference between a daemonhost and a normally possessed person?

storm jungle
#

a daemonhost is a daemon thats lured into a person

#

its staged and pre-planned

#

a possession is just your usual daemonic hijacking without any warning or expectation

outer wave
#

Would that make CSM possessed daemonhosts by that technicality?

#

Or any sort of heretic that allows a daemon into themselves?

#

I find this terminology a little confusing tbh

hallow saddle
#

A daemonhost has a specific daemon ritually bound to the body, it can't leave.
Possession is more temporary - the daemon can come and go. It may be a different every time.

#

That's how I understand it anyway!

outer wave
#

That does make more sense actually

#

Thank ya

rocky gale
#

Yea a Daemonhost is as much a trap for the Daemon as it is unpleasant for the host.

outer wave
#

Mhmmm

young pecan
storm jungle
#

Freeing it

#

you can see the body rise up in its death animation as the green mist dissipates off it and leaves back to the Warp

rocky gale
#

Yea you need like uber tier artefacts/psyker powers to properly kill Daemons

storm jungle
#

^

#

Daemons cannot stay anchored in realspace for long periods, so it basically flees every time

outer wave
#

Tbf it probably calms the daemon down so at the very least, they're slightly less mad

young pecan
#

Still a net positive to suffer not because then the heretics can't use the daemon, though?

outer wave
#

They could always call another one back

#

That specific daemon might not get tricked the same way however

spring cairn

#

Is there such thing as an economy in chaos controlled territory?

#

What do inhabitants on daemon worlds even do for a living? What do they eat? What's their industry?

they worship chaos

then they starve

#

and they eat rats

#

nurgle worshipers probably dont need to eat much

so do female custodes exist or not?
ive been gone for a while

rocky gale
#

Yes they exist

#

I dont remember where I saw that but it was on r/40klore like a while back

#

Id imagine as a whole, chaos warbands may barter for equipment or whatever shit they've found but dont find immediately useful

storm jungle
#

books like Daemon World go super into it

#

Chaos use horde tactics a lot but its why they leave the actual smart people behind the lines to generally handle this stuff

young pecan

noithing wrong against females in 40k

the official custodes codex was changed A LOT when females were announced......
thats why i said the chaos god of manipulation was involved ;D

I didn't like 5th gen (Verdict Day was ok, but it wasn't the same for me). I enjoyed AC6 though, even though it had hard lock which some veteran players didn't like. The designs were more back to 3rd gen with some 4th gen thrown in, though I don't think you could universally build your AC to look as good with 3rd gen (like 4th gens manufacturer specific parts that look good together but not mixed with others)
