seems to work for him
I do not think you would want to use it for whatever you're thinking of lol
Well I could have gone with Vamp lady as a Flc LL, but I'd would have prefered Grimm Burlokson as LL
And Malakai as LH
I don't think it've ever seen on the internet someone else use a sediment shaker for them
just those shaker things in general
Ohh he does fit the look of a super range army
people are like save your money just shake yourself
A sediment shaker? Is that like a sieve or?
but my wrist hurts often man i need to ask my doctor
It's those thinks medical labs use to keep certain things from having sediments
I wouldn’t know, but google is giving me multiple names for this thing so I’m just gonna go with yours
Got a second hand one from work, so was a cheap thing that worked quite well
Nah I don't work with paint, i just used one for GW painting, then I sold it
So Darktide stuff as Skulls, wonder what itll be
I work for an Uni
So I have frequent contacts with the laboratory peoples
Medical/Pharmaceutical
Oh okay thought you may have had research labs and I would've gotten immediately jealous
Immediately and irrationally jealous
it sucks dont come here
job opportunities are plentiful but
annoying af
Wait are you in research?
I know the cons associated with the field; I just feel like having a micro major then having NO place to really go to use said knowledge suck ass
I guess medical is the best next thing but man
worked in it a bit. now i'm in private sector research if you consider that the same
R&D really
R&D?
it doesn't really apply because i was a student when i did the research job
but from what i've learned from people who work in it it's just a lot of stuffy old people
your manager could just be a recluse crazy old guy who got the job just because he's got a phd
Fair enough
Man it sucks cuz research doesnt even pay all that well, you gotta have ALOT of passion for the subject matter, and apparently other folks in the field can be bitchy
I guess any place can be a place for catty coworkers and competitiors
that's academia in a nutshell yeah
private sector just pays more on top
you can find lots of jobs in niche markets like i did if you have a specialty
I do not sadly but Im going to medical tech school next year
Something I HATE but they dont consider microbiology stuff from uni to be useable in the medical field
i don't know anything about the medical field so i wouldn't know
my case is the opposite lol i have a tech degree but i want to go to uni to get higher salary
i'm getting the job experience to not be in your situation when i'm done
I swear if I have to return to school for marginally better wages
I mean I am next year but after
It just sucks that people cant get a real taste of what work is like unless you either take a coop (which can be difficult to get) or you dedicate all your time into education to get the work (which you still dont know until you're dropped in)
Idk maybe Im just bitter
And medical here is, from what Ive been seeing, isnt great either
Maybe I should become a fisher
Live a simple life
Make a couple dollars a day, live in a cottage in the woods
if i wasn't working my way up to starting my own company i'd just be an electrician and retire at 40
Become a streamer
Hey, side note. Given how big a hive city is, they have hab sectors for like a power grid and such...
Yes
Ok
How do they power these grids? Do they have a glorified (sanctified) hamster spinning a wheel?
plasma reactors
and other semi-functioning fusion-cores etc
you repair one of these in Darktide
Often they use Geothermal
Or heat reactors
and some lostech nuclear reactors!
Oh
okok do this is a side of 40k that i personally love to bitch about
power systems are wildly inconsistent
so the imperium managed to make the most efficient source of power available to the average guardsman in the form of a lasgun magazine
it can get recharged by solar or even through heat
but somehow on a large scale things work with either prometheum (fossil fuel) or plasma (basically nuclear fusion which is a fossil fuel)
Maybe whatever fucking magic lasguns operate on only works in small scale
it's a soft sci fi plothole
you can't make these wacky gizmos work without waving away a lot of laws of physics
Hmm
like think about it. why do leman russes work on prometheum but can contain plasma ammo?
and lascannon ammo packs are cheap af
because loud engines sound cool
Unrelated but how hard is it to dm wrath and glory without any experience in the system?
Oh lol mb
Its not really a plothole
the Imperium is just stupid
Yeah like i'm pretty sure the most knowledgeable ones here would be the ones of the table top 40k or dnd
stuff doesnt exactly "work"
Its also Warhammer, which is more rule of cool and silly than hard science
This is the same people that lost technology but still have the capacity to craft guns that can shoot gravity
a lot of sci fi settings have the same issue. it's not just 40k
the disproven "science" of aerodynamics
maybe YOU got some issues
🫵


BAHAHAH
oh i love warhammer
It's just perfect for my rotting brain that has nothing better to do in life than rot
Sorry no idea, I've only played the older FFG 40k games
Haven't played any of the Cubicle 7 ones
the imperium proving that WW2 aircraft design was when we peaked
i do really like the idea that the imperium has such advanced propulsion technology that they can sacrifice a ton of weight on armour and still have good planes
I think it’s fun world building
And it shows off well in Aeronautica on the tabletop as well
Imperium planes are built like brick shithouses and hard to maneuver
it's great
i dont even think modern fighter planes would work in 40k
the imperium is fighting stuff like chaos flying demons that dont have IR signatures to lock on
and legit i think ork planes are so tough that a sidewinder missile wouldn't dent a big one
Ork planes lul
Ork planes are ironically pretty lightly armored
The horror is how many guns + how fast and maneuverable they are
oh damn
do they also win with numbers
Only eldar and imperium planes can match them for top acceleration lmao
i dont know how many ork boyz focus on planes
But yeah ork planes are suprisingly lightly armored
Enough. It is fast, it haz dakka.
They’re just covered in guns, engines, Ect
Sum speed freeks will love dem planes.
Ork and eldar planes in aeronautica ironically share some similarities
Shame GW never got to finish all the Aeronautica factions
Imperium: Launching heat seeking missiles at the Ork fighters
Orks: Entirely unphased because they painted the inside of the plane blue so they could relax in the cold.
They got close
I do also like how crons are comically strong but you’re so absurdly out numbered it evens out
tau vs imperium when it comes to air superiority engagements is funny
Mmmm drones
they talk about it in the taros thingy
To be fair like
Tau use actual sci-fi aero-tech
the Imperium is just hunk of metal WW2 stuff lol
"realistically" speaking it would be pretty one-sided
They do fine in the very very few aeronautica stuff that comes up
Especially since all 40k aeronautica stuff is WWII dogfights for the same reason Star Wars space battles are
Dogfights are boring these days and in the future that’s not gonna get any better I imagine
look at how smaller and smaller "main" armaments become over the years. it's pretty funny how the cannon on the F-35 is almost just a vestigial afterthought
Yes because otherwise it would be extremely onesided
we are talking about flying fridges going against alien VTOLs
lmao
As a WWII history nut, this painfully rings true. Same thing with Battleships
i think for what the imperium has to fight their planes make sorta sense
No like they do
its more that Tau, Necron and Eldar planes are superior
both technologically and through other means
Tau I can kinda get but Eldar/Necron planes would be more or less impossible to survive in a smaller skirmish
necron and eldar at least are nerfed by the fact that they can't just out attrition enemy planes
yep
They have jets like we do, imperium stuff look like bricks they don’t fly like them.
Soyjak mode: ONQ
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAND! THE INTRICATE SKILL OF THE IMPERIAL PILOTS IS HONED OVER MILLENIAS OF CONFLICT! THEIR OLD MACHINES NEED NO HERETICAL FANCY TECH TO FIGHT BACK MACHINES OF TAU!
There’s also just a fair amount of different flyers
Yeah but its not as advanced, I say this as someone that has read most aeronautica forgeworld stuff
again, flying fridges
they are based on WW2 craft with a brutalist aesthetic
i really like imperium bombers
compared to an VTOL which is mentally controlled
its like a WW2 plane going against a Harrier
lol
or Iraqi MiGs fighting modern U.S jets
💀
🧱
Simple as.
Imagine if there was a VTOL like STC schematic that existed
i shit you not modern jets would have a lot of difficulty trying to shoot down a prop plane
Ehhhhhh
Uh
me after two hours of war thunder
Not really
there's this story where i dont remember if it was an F-22 that tried shooting down a cessna
Jet fighters spend countless hours training dumb shit
Not really. One rocket launched 6km ahead and poof.
^
the problem is locking on for one
Battlefield moment

You can lock onto almost anything
there's this video i need to find
Picture locking is a thing.
F-35 vs balloon
Or they could just fly by it at super sonic tbh
One flyby would probably knock one out of the sky without the pilot even trying to take down-
it was an F22
GOD DAMN IT
first air to air kill of an F-35
yes
oh it was an F-22
it had to shoot above its service ceiling i think
Yeah there’s a documentary they made about it called Top Gun Maverick
drukhari have the coolest planes in 40k btw
They definitely have the edgiest
after I left the theatre a third time I bought lockheed stock
The javelin uses a picture to hone in on its target.
void raven bomber is so stupid it wraps back around to being cool
same applies to all 40k flyers
tbh
Maybe with early tech
F35 is a money laundering operation and isn't a real fighter jet
I need a warhammer pfp for in here
it's a multi role fighter
F-35 also isn’t a fighter jet so much as a platform to direct missiles
It's a government dirty money washing machine
F-35 is pretty much an electronic warfare package disguised as a fighter jet
Now, the chat is interesting.
Probably too expensive
Yeah the f-35 is a pretty amazing plane
After how much they’ve spent it better be
The f-35 makes tons of sense considering how missile/radar heavy modern combat is
america pretty much has to spend that much money on planes. it's all about power projection and shit
Unfortunately dogfighting aircraft is probably a thing of the past
Anyone who says the A-10 is a good plane doesn't understand how modern warfare works
It’ll probably become at best pilots in electronic sensor platforms directing drones
actually more money is being put into low altitude ground attack planes
friendlyfire machine 9000
100%. Everything is beyond visual range now
Yeah
american airforce is genuinely considering getting a prop plane to replace the A-10
Correct. If you watch Russia/Ukraine, the entire war has been slowed down massively because of quad copters with explosives glued on
At the end of the day humans create a huge problem
Cause we’re so fucking fragile
Drones meanwhile can go supersonic and break absurdly fast and flip around all they want
i like how russians are creating WW2 tanks again just to counter drones
military analysts must be losing their shit
The real scary thing are quad copters with explosives inho
It did but canceled cause air force wanted more fighter jet money
They're just so inexpensive that trying to fight them is a pain in the ass economically
dang
Tbh I don’t think they’re gonna be the biggest deal
bring back battleships
We’re jsut gonna develop really expensive countermeasures
Special forces loved the shit out of it when it was trialed
Let's just spend $100k per interception missile to take down a $2000 drone with some C4 glued on
the thing with drones is the operator can do his job without risking themselves at all
that's a major advantage
We got freakin lasers and shit now though
I’m sure there’s some wild anti drone shit they’ve cooked up
Also just good old fashioned jamming
As a response to them because quad copters are so ridiculously cheap
lasers can still be overwhelmed
Or you know. Dust
they're sending like 15 drones at a time
We have those on platforms too
US is switching to that new AR platform that looks interesting
In perfect conditions, sure, but quad copters pilots do tricks and other shit, and have fun getting one if it's under gun depression
3d printed suppressor is so fucking cool
My point is if you have a turret with perfect accuracy and laser or even just a flak it doesn’t matter
Russia can’t afford that shit
US army caring about hearing of its servicemen
It's still a severely economically lopsided, and we're using lasers as a hail mary
perfect is a stretch. drones have tiny heat signatures
it's very hard to lock onto a drone
You’re really underestimating tech here
can you fit the tech on the tank is the question
Also, we're putting so much work into trying to kill drones. Keep in mind, you now have to sit around anti drone defense which is going to slow you down, and it can't go everywhere
Modern strikes arent gonna not be exclusive drones and if the countermeasures can’t move on a dime it’s just a target
which cost more
Yes and they do way more
The real slowing caused by quadcopters is that infantry and vehicles now have to be inside safety bubbles because quadcopters are ridiculously cheap, maneuverable, and are generally a pain in the ass to shoot
The biggest things these drones do isn’t even the explosives
It’s recon
The grenades and shit jsut make for good montages on liveleak
i can see militaries finally putting more money into jammers. it seems to be working a bit on the weird tanks russia is making
it's not perfect but it helps
Quad copters have been one of the biggest tank hunters in Ukraine
and it's not hard to do
All the war in the Ukraine has proved is the US is even more dominant militarily than we thought
it's a view into whatever war america is going to involve itself in next
I guaranteed there’s a million and one plans in mind and things being developed for basic quad copters, the bigger issue is if countries like China have developed actually threatening mass drones. Quad copters aren’t gonna break anything force wise.
The biggest asset they provide is recon
Oh those explosive first person quad copters are less than $500
i dont think anything will ever prepare for a full scale war between two major powers
It doesn’t matter really, RPGs are cheap as fuck compared to the counter measure we make to beat them
It’s probably never gonna happen anyways
Proxies maybe
But I doubt China is that dumb
We’re too intertwined
Full scale war short of nukes’ll be I shut off your power grid, you shut mine off, who’s civvies are gonna cave first
Full scale war is just nukes
It’s that or nothing
China can’t strike us without them
If you want to know what war between near peer armies will look like, Ukraine is your best bet.
They don’t have the naval power or Air Force.
Don’t need nukes there’s responses under it
And that’s the only thing that happens when you fire intercontinental missiles at eachother
You don’t get to go below that when you do that
Don’t need a missile to shut off the power
They’re not gonna invade
Cyberwar isn’t kinetic
The logistics of invading the United States would be so gargantuan it's not really realistic
Land war in China would also be rather difficult
A pond makes everything a lot more difficult
And it'll end up in China regardless 
China would have trouble actually getting troops to Taiwan in any real numbers, let alone over to the US
So you’re assuming they can just destroy our entire energy infrastructure with cyber attacks? You realize a lot of this stuff isn’t even hooked up to any outside sources right?
Do you think the US isn’t aware its energy infrastructure is a weak point?
that's russia's strategy but it doesn't seem to have worked this time
switches to analog and unplugs the router
There’s definitely damage that they can do but like
“Cyber warfare” causing the entire US to collapse
Most High electricity control system still work with mechanical programation 💀
Who invoked the Black Ops 2 plot
worked in the chechen war because nobody gave a shit enough to help them
Yup
I work for a large power provider in the US
This stuff is not connected to some network
Just be careful where you put your fingers, it pinch quite hard
That parts not true US has committee meetings on this damn near annually
We have meetings on if aliens attack
The point is we’re anal about every possibility
Yeah and there's like a blue team who's also there to defend
We have plans to invade Canada, Mexico and England
It's like Batman having a plan to kill the justice League just in case
It’s not a non issue but the idea that it’s gonna be some silver bullet is goofy
Last I remember from DOE something like 90-95% of the grid was vulnerable to cyber attack
Every single one of those meetings sound like a doomsday event is incoming
Harder still since all the district transfer stations were
Seriously listen to any of them
that would require politicians to care
“Vulnerable” can mean there’s technically a way you could fuck it up if you got a flash drive in the system or whatever
And they never reveal how prepared we are
Yeah flashdrive drops are probably the easiest way to break a system
It’s literally someone whose job is to fear monger
A castle is only as strong as the weakest point
I’m not saying it’s not a weak point
But the idea that “oh China wins cause it might be a vulnerability”
Ignoring too how fast we can fix this stuff too
Or auxiliary systems and separations
nuclear war will do some damage to infrastructure. im not sure though
never tried it myself
tbh China is in a pretty bad situation internally rn
It's going to be a bribe war
lots of countries are
And this is jsut stuff I know as a very low level electrician working for a Midwest major power provider
Who bribes who with how much and how fast 
if we invaded canada id be first at the enlistment center
But the idea that other topics are overblown doesn’t mean we aren’t vulnerable in this regard there is a reason we increased NSA funding by 4x post-stuxnet
please don't shoot me i'll give you all my warhammer models
Okay Leafblower Nate slow down a moment
I need to liberate canadians from their shackles
And why other countries like Iran or China or NK also didn’t expand their cyberwar divisions by factors
isn't north korea's economy like only working because of cyber criminals
Basically
No food, rampant meth abuse, brownouts constantly
That's mississippi but North Korea has the same issues
It’s like a pretty large percentage of their armed forces
Those maple lovers need to be taken down a Winnipeg
yes I liked it a lot
I love the time lapses
they give me dopamine
I'm kinda debating a Darktide webcomic rn
"Madsen's Memoirs"
Following the journal of a Sixer
As in a moebian 6th guardsman
For some reason the LOTR mini lines been selling consistently well (sure as shit isn’t the show providing the bump)
LOTR is pretty crazy popular so I imagine there's a lot of people who just collect them
Just another way to enjoy the setting
Also it uses a lot of movie/movie-adjacent designs which generally look pretty cool
I think the Dol Amroth dudes are my favourite s
Hey I should draw one of those.....
I went to school with a guy who's dad was a Reverend and he had a massive collection of LOTR stuff, like an entire room of their house was just one giant Helms Deep diorama.
Dudes rock
Winnipeg doesn't have any maple syrup producing trees 
Are you gonna um ackhsually me that people in Winnipeg don’t love maple cause they can’t produce it
The 1% coming from the actual 1%
The 1% will mostly be LGS owners
Especially for bigger armies
canadians dont really enjoy maple syrup more than americans. we just produce it because of geographical reasons
Also it’s an internet poll
Every LGS store owner I know uses the Wholesale discount to build their own armies
Got em
i have tasted what passes as maple syrup in the south though
Games Workshop are cowards for basing Sauron off the movie instead of just making him a malevolent twink
what the fuck is wrong with those people
US has odd food standards
We literally do not have maple trees
This sentence applies to many things about the south
i brought a can of real maple syrup to a southerner friend once
However, BBQ --- they're doing incredibly correctly
if only they had maple syrup they could make baller briskets
What do you mean maple syrup isn’t flavored high fructose corn syrup?????
Nah. Brisket is just salt, pepper, and some apple cider vinegar to keep it moist
Anything else is heresy
Maple BBQ sauce is allowed
Like sure you can eat beef with steroids and antibiotics in it, but drinking 500 bottles of this drink a day for a month causes cancer so we're banning it.
I have a bunch of different BBQ sauces I like to do
The real issue is that it's very easy to make molasses at home so they strangled molasses out of the market to push corn syrup which was in excess in the market at the time
And the Asian inspired one is my favourite that I make
You're damn right
Corn and dairy
We scuttled the EU-NA nafta equivalent over cheese disputes
Do not start America on cheese
In our plastic too
Wendigoon literally just blew the cheese conspiracy wide open
it's food
American cheese is fucking awesome anyways
It's a guilty gear character
i like most cheese
Homemade American cheese is better imo
Europeans always just cherry pick the most mass produced basic version of something
Brisket is typically a smoked meat beef normally
Even mass produced garbage is better than my local stuff tbf
i dislike steak but i love every other form of meat
Applewood pork butt
American cheese is just an agglomeration of various other cheeses, melted down with sodium citrate, and then let to settle as slices
Kraft just fucks it up with the shittiest cheese known to man
“Oh Hans I do not into the American chocolate. What’s zat? No I heff not tried anything besides de Hershey bar, why do yoo ask?”
I've never had steak
Still malding about them fumbling the hamburger and pizza origins when we vastly improve it
Bugs are full of protein. You're getting gains
american beer sucks ass and i will die on this hill
False
Large batch sucks. Small craft brewers are great
Jsut don’t buy the shit basic brands
True in that all beer sucks ass
your microbreweries suck too
Cheap beer is gross
they all make IPA's
Yeah, I go out and purposely have to find microbrewery porters and stouts
I’ve been to Europe I’ve tried lots of different countries “best” beers
Theyre not that great
I’m more of a mixed drink kinda guy, especially mules
i dont know how people enjoy IPA's
drinking culture unironically ruins beverages
also why 21 years old that's so fucked up
I’ve never been a huge fan of anything straight from the bottle alcohol related
Like people talk about buffet Vodka types man, idk why you care
You’re drinking it to get drunk
Can join the military at 17 can drink at 21
Not for which burn tastes better
I wanted one bottle of beer
Alcohol is too vile so I only ever drink it to get drunk with friends
Which I don't have anymore
Thus I don't drink
Yea we trust you with guns and military ordinance but not a Bud Lite
Yeah the age of alcohol consumption should be higher
gives cops a reason to mess with teenages
Because America’s priorities are fucked, can go die in war and sign yourself up for a predatory school loan, but can’t drink.
Ding ding ding
which they love to do
Yeah I’m sure that’s the reason
the actual reason is even dumber
And not how bad alcohol actually is
Doesn’t help public hangout spots for teens are disappearing
i'm sure that's why the prohibition happened and not because the US was founded by religious nutcases
Uh yeah it was its jsut people wanna drink
Pivo kinda good. Sad when it goes out
It’s hilarious how much bad things alcohol causes
The founding fathers weren’t all that religious actually, but there are definitely a good chunk of zealots in this country
It’s just an acceptable drug
The Police are trying to take an alcohol test on an old gentleman that might be a little bit tipsy-wipsy...
The government decides what people are allowed to do for safety all the time
Science discussions
Alcohol has a very high rate of affecting people besides the user
and it often sucks at it so what's new here
It’s just it’s not worth outlawing for obvious reasons
The decriminalization of drugs would actually go a long way helping people recover, and reduce crime overall, a lot of studies have shown as such
Criminalization just breeds a black market at best organized crime at worst
it's literally human nature to want to escape reality. alcohol has been found as early as the first sedentary people
I don’t think the idea behind prohibition was bad it’s just it can’t work
Animals use alcohol like
It’s too easy to make and it jsut makes more problems
I am here to make vaguely inappropriate comments about plastic army men I do not have opinions on the consumption of mind altering substances
You’re not a paint sniffer?
smh
Ingesting the plastic men is a mind altering substance checkmate atheists
i just looked up if 1 beer a day was bad for you and internet tells me it's good for me
what the hell man
Not to bring this up again intentionally, but Im not sure if theyre that unpopular within Mainland China, especially with censorship and how the previous generations have been educated about their history.
They’ve been unpopular after the bank run a while ago
Oh right the bank incident
Haha nooope
they'll probably recover
I do really wonder how any of their companies are still running like Evergrande
They got like 100 billion dollar debts and shit
they just have to shift their whole economy which is not a simple task
i want to find the one country that's doing well right now so i can live there
They've been trying to become more independent from western countries
They’re probably hoping the voracious growth can offset a deficit in the long term
startup company mindset
That’s one of the big reasons for their explosive growth in the 00s-present was high levels of deficit spending on infrastructure
china's infrastructure is batshit insane too
i wish i had that problem where there's too many roads
One positive thing about dumping huge government dosh on infrastructure is if the economy goes up you still got roads
it's a good investment all things considered
It’s partly how the US escaped the Great Depression
Convert debt into infrastructure
US needs to do it with high speed rails now
It’s slowly being built
oh i thought it was cancelled
Ireland needs to do the same, we need new train lines
Just seems like it, it’s just proceeding glacially
boomers hate trains for some reason
it sounds too old school for the generation that saw them being cut apart
You’d think boomers’d be huge into trains
it's like disco. they hate it because it was unpopular 50 years ago
these people are deciding the fate of the world
RETVRN, but for trains and high corporate tax rates
Our issue is most of our railways were designed by the English to transport goods to Dublin so they could be shipped to England and when that process stopped the railways weren't needed as much, so they shut down a lot of the lines rather than convert them to passenger lines.
it's funny because britain had a good rail network but they had to ruin it
can't have anything nice
Well it's different for us
I’d fucking love cheap passenger trains in the US
Do you think protection seals of other gods exist in 40k? I mean to keep you safe and I don't mean like the seals used.
They built our railway lines to efficiently extract our resources and export them to England, rather than to be a good service for us.
Airlines’d seethe hard though
Considering the dice you roll getting on a Boeing now’s the time
We know chaos worshippers souls are “protected” from other gods on death and go straight to that chaos god
They got a space launch scrubbed
2 hours before liftoff
The DC-10 fucking things up into the far future
So it's like Lovecraft symbols or offering your soul to them only belongs to them.
we have a lot in common, our countries
i like using ireland as an example for issue happening here
Yeah unless someone sacrifices your soul to another chaos god
difference is the irish actually have balls
But it's funny considering that God actually exists in Lovecraft and is more powerful then the abyss gods.
At that point
It’s free game lol
Regarding human souls going to the emperor it seems like most just you know
Get torn apart in the warp
I mean in Lovecraft the universes are made by dreaming.
So we don't know how much influence they added.
Just that as long one God is dreaming everything as you know it will exist.
Until Azathoth wakes up and everything as you know it ends.
The void and abyss probably heavily inspired the warp and not just being space hell.
Reading this out of context between the soul debate in 40k is hella funny.
LOL
What do you think of the kroot?
In general? Alien species like any other. Killable.
I mean actually appearance wise without thinking of how killable they are.
I kill aliens doesn't mean I don't find them interesting.
Eh, the closest thing we have to predators. Look nice I guess.
Yautja society really ranges
In comparison to the kroot who are mostly barbarous hunters.
I mean the kroot build ships
You speak to a boomer who acknowledges predator movie. Barely predator 2 and nothing past it exists.
I mean the recent movie Prey was good
Fucking sphere
With the other types of Yautja.
That a kroot ship?
Yeah
Dope.
The kroot have actual heavy industry on their planet
but its hidden from the Tau
and the Tau don't try finding out more because why bother pissing off your allies
HOW XD
This is yautja space craft
its underground
I see.
Feral Predators are interesting
but the kroot's guns and ships are all "homegrown" tech
but they do "borrow" tau stuff sometimes as well
I mean they have las bows
The most recent predator movie variant of Yautja. Speaking of such already.
Who? The kroot or predators?
kroot guns can look high tech
The kroot
Alright, lets stick to 1 topic pls.
I mean they're literally the yautja as there is feral and regular bounty hunters who used advanced tech to hunt humans.
why does it look like it's a screenshot from stellaris
its from BFGA2 ig
so
void of space
and game model
i've also been abusing stellaris
since the update
also
i noticed a 40k reference
which i took a screenshot yesterday and forgot to post here
but you have a chance to talk to an alternate dimension version of yourself that tells you their universe developed warp drive instead of whatever the stellaris universe uses
and they're always being attacked by warp monsters
its also a refrence to the old ftl system + the unbidden lol
fuck
Psionic acension has the literal 4 major chaos gods as well lol
i knew it was too good to be a 40k reference
if you've done it before
Tbf
the warp drive is a 40k refrence lol
you punch through the shroud with it
The shroud is literally the warp but less evil
i have legit never done the old psionic path
current psionic has the 4 gods more likely to show up anyways
used to be much more random
i have 500 hours and i spent most of those in a handful of games i spend weeks on
i play very big maps
probably why nobody plays with me
yeah ngl I never go larger then medium
oh have you tried the new crisis path lol
The Synaptic lathe is fucking hilarious
yeah for once a stellaris update has good reviews
and people were bitching because the ad was rumoured to use AI art
sexy sexy skaven
the alien invasion is just the tyranids from outside the galaxy
theyre even psychic
The new stormcast are certified bangers
They went overkill on the stormcast in the best way possible
I NEED THE LORD VIGILANT
Me when I am praying against the sins of this world
AoS not have one single cool miniature challenge: impossible

the cursed city sigmar weirdos 

I also don't love the open faced helms on some of the Stormcast
but there's closed faced ones at least
AoS has the best models
you can't fucking beat it
Cannot WAIT to see what they do with Malekitherions delves
I like NEED that knight questor lol
Show Ulgo funny thing please
Tank you
Ooh
Heard dey tinker lots with flesh
Moulder does fleshcrafting.
Ooohh
only reason I feel they're very skryre is because of the
flamethrower attachment they got
Holy shit. All these aos minis are fucking amazing.
Meanwhile 40k with nerfgun desolators.
AoS does not miss(most of the time)
what having creative freedom
does to a modeling team
^
They also got the more better modellers apparently
which not gonna lie, really shows
They’re catering to different audiences too
I mean not really
Both the IPs are all about unchecked badass miniatures
40k is also sci-fi fantasy so theres not that much of a restriction for the most part
I wouldn’t want some of the stuff we see in AoS in 40k
I’m glad we get it for AoS but it’s whole aesthetic is very different
Yeah this also
Some of it only makes sense in AoS/a fantasy setting
Hell I wouldn’t even want a lot of the stuff we see in AoS in Warhammer Fantasy
Giant cow mountain
Eh again depends
WHF has a lot of high fantasy elements
not everything is relegated to be grounded like the Empire
well i say "grounded" when they got about as much goofy shit too
cue clockwork horse
It doesn’t fit any of the factions though

I kinda want the corebook
Get it for the lore alone then
It looks to be styled after the 40K core rulebook even more now
Which means more lore lol

Pouring one out for my elven homies 💀
It does but AoS is intentionally “more so” with a lot of stuff, there’s a big aesthetic difference even with the similarities
Cow elf aesthetic does not fit high elves smh
THEY LITERALLY HAVE FLYING BOATS

Yeah but they don’t have the same aesthetic smh
Half the high elf aesthetic is marble bullshit 😩
Not true
They also have ivory towers
Im gonna collapse two ivory towers on you in a minute
9/11 reference is insane
Mfw high elves don’t even get high
Just sneezed so hard a paper comically flew off my desk
lmfao
but basically yeah can the 40k team be a bit more creative please, whip Jes Goodwin a bit for more designs you hacks
Unfortunately it was an ins-high Elf job
My Phoenix King, Malekith has hit a second tower...
Love lethal weapon
I need whatever Mel Gibson was drinking when he left those voicemails to get through the day
His police interactions are some of my favorite work of his
Next to Alec Baldwin’s famous audio drama “The Thoughtless Little Pig”
Remember when David hasselhof was lambasted for drunkenly eating a cheeseburger on his floor but woody allen got away with fucking and marrying his DAUGHTER
I think the issue is we had hopes for Hasselhof
It’s like how you always have that loser mooch in the family who is never gonna go anywhere but if you got a B in college it’s the end of the world
Yea but he was in the spongebob movie
His career is actually insanely good ngl
I miss college every day
His Jekyll and Hyde I think it was performance is amazing
And hes got some banger rock songs too
Christopher Lees career is absolutely wild
And life in general
Beyond the wild shit we don't know about the guy basically caused the creation of metal
Was a spy during World War II, super successful actor, probably killed a few people, released a metal album in his 90s, personally met Tolkien and was his choice for Gandalf
Was the inspiration for Bond
do you see his Sarumanhood
Saruman the stupid
Also how does he look older when he was 22 than when he was in the bond movie
I always wanted a midget sidekick when I was younger
mood tbh
Because of that movie
The actor who played Knick knack also had a wild life
Dude partied hard
Iirc Peter Dinklage did a movie about him
No he just reads from the book
Goes crazy
Apparently he didn't know about the movie just agreed to sit down and read extracts in an armchair, and was then edited in 
What other wild actors are there
Mickey Rooney and not in a fun way
Dude got married 8 times
Cheated on all of them
Idk what the point was even fuck me man just go bang a bunch of women
Why would you even wanna be married that many times
Maybe he just really likes wedding cake
Bulk discount
Luv me lil uns
Luv me lil uns
Luv me Emprah
‘Ate ‘eretics
‘Ate ‘zee-nose
‘Ate ‘daemons
‘Ate shouties (ain’t ‘eretickle, just don’t like ‘em)
Simple as
ken sama would be excited as hell for that game
tragically he perished defending an traditional japanese inn in Osaka from a deadly tsunami
RIP ken sama
i hate people like that, AC has never been historically accurate
not once
hell the only thing that makes it a "historical fiction" is the fact actual historical people are in it
beyond that everything is completely fictional
even the first Assassin’s Creed was extremely historically inaccurate.
yup
idk why some people see the words "historical fiction" and assume the work will be mostly historical
most times historical fiction is 90% fiction
the only requirements for something to be a historical fiction is it includes the names and likenesses of historical figures
fucking Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter is a historical fiction
hell nowadays even including the word fiction is not enough, you really have to sledgehammer it onto people's head that it's not real
ikr
so fucking annoying
it honestly feels like if someone made a movie about Alexander the great fighting alien zombie lizards on planet X in the year 5550 there would be some people that think it actually happened
You folks are telling me George Washington didn't work with a native American man and found a mystical artifact that showed him becoming a tyrannical king.
Like that... that didn't happen?
lmao
What about Lincoln killing Vampires ?
its a movie
I can see why mutants are hated. Then we get resident evil biological terrorism.
We do not want biological terrorism added onto the list of atrocities humanity has commited do we now.
isnt one of the goto exterminatus methods literally to virus bomb the planet from orbit?
I mean that's chemical warfare.
ofc like half the imperium's arsenal are literally war crimes
nah its biological warfare, its a virus
But I mean experiments like resident evil and monster mutants.
Those are strictly banned for reason.
oh thats just the norm for the admech
yeah posthuman freaks
I mean they might have the human appearance but they just have leg extension surgeries and new organs.
a space marine is just an improved fallout super mutant
Frank Horrigan is pretty powerful
And plasma weapons in fallout are far more developed then 40k.
Which is funny to think about.
improved as in a better process is used to make them and they arent quite as insane
Frank was special.
He became a mutant but it instead made him smarter, and stronger.
A super mutant in power armor is quite terrifying.
Yes shame he died.
But that was more he died on his own terms.
I mean being hit with a gauss rifle would tear apart even a space marine.
They might be powerful but a well placed shot and bam goes your head.
Enclave had advanced power armor systems in lore maybe in game they're weak. They have a major weakspot yes, but also being a mutant adds onto his durability.
And knowing the Enclave they probably knew of such weak spots.
I miss the Enclave, which has been said millions of times now, yes
Or you end up like kat and get a needle through the head.
btw mutant and super mutant are 2 completely different things, the supers where made intentionally where as the mutant are just the result of the bombs
He was a green skinned mutant. Some super mutants were smart.
There is several examples of intelligent super mutants. Though one is schizophrenic.
Those in the Master’s army, but I believe it was successful only to those who were of pure human stock. Completely unaffected by radiation
Or vault dwellers.
supers are pre-nuke and mutants are post
Fawkes was successful because he was from a vault like the master.
Aw man, 87 was awful
where they still doing the super soldier program post war?
The pan immunity project was meant to protect against Chinese bio-weapons but the U.S military took over and made it a super human project.
Vault 87 did it as it was their instructions( also because they were massive dicks). The Institute? I forgot their reasoning but they’re responsible for the Infestation in the Commonwealth.
But the Institute, Enclave, and U.S Military all had access to super mutants.
I mean we have the master who turned people into super mutants and then Vault-Tec with 87.
It’s bad enough The Master is responsible for the creations of Centaurs. But then having seen them up close when playing for New Vegas for the first time, was the rare instance I said “Ew” out loud multiple times.
Well 2077 was the last experiments but Mariposa was after the bombs dropped.
And scientists continued after the bombs dropped so the Brotherhood dropped by and killed them all because it was awful the experiments.
Until the later projects, and in West Virginia West Tec who were early variant of super mutants. But the Institute, and Enclave are the most recent experiments with fev to make super mutants.
Fawkes was successful by sheer dumb luck
No one else in his vault ended up like him
He’s a freak accident which we’ve seen before
Erickson is another example of some sort of freak accident causing a super mutant to become smarter and more aware
Fawkes is essentially the only smart east coast super mutant
As opposed to west coast were it’s more 50/50
Unless you’re a nightkin, which will just cause you to lose all your brains and turn blue due to Stealth Boy overuse.
Why has Stealth Boy addiction never been a thing in Fallout?(mechanically)
In the original Fallout the Nightkin weren't blue or insane due to Steathboy usage, that wasn't a thing until New Vegas which was over 120 years later, so it implies that you need to be using Stealthboys for a very long time before you start to see these kinds of effects.
And by the time you get into new Vegas you developed a cure
so i'm pretty sure most of them are fine
The differing intelligence in West Coast mutants is typically due to the difference between Gen 1 Mutants and Gen 2, Gen 1 were made by the Master using a "perfected" strain of FEV and Vault Dwellers since they had the best compatibility, whereas Gen 2 were made by the Enclave using strains of FEV they recovered from Mariposa after it's destruction and regular Wastelanders which led to dumber mutants.
The world wasn't kind to him when he lost his wife
Motherfucker he wasnt kind to himself when he grabbed the fucking fancy lads snacks
What
Fat Fuck Boone
Im not gonna lie, I think this mod was like when the game was in its second year on steam
1997
2010
That feels better
It was 2010 that was og fallout
I was 4
Original fallout is 1997.
Damn
no original fallout is 1897, NV is 1997 to commemorate the 100th anniversary.
So glad that nothing came inbetween 2 and 3
know your history guys smh
of course not. nintendo was founded and released their first game, super mario sunshine, before fallout
Wait wasn’t nintendo smth else before videojames
Cards
Is super mario sunshine good? Its on my list of games i should play
The oldest video game in the world is funnily enough also has the best graphics technically
Pong
Tennis For Two
And it was rendered in Vectors instead of shitty pixels.
Mothefucker said pong
yeah it's pretty good, but I haven't played it in eight million years. no idea if it holds up
Fair enough
I literally just said Tennis For Two
Fair enough
That just sounds like pong
Pong rip-off before pong was even made smh
tennis for two
look inside
it's just tennis, which is a two-player sport by default

dumb name.
pong was better
Apple was a game dev company before becoming a rival to microsoft
and don't start with that "but tennis can also be played with doubles" shit, nobody cares about doubles.
I’ve never played tennis
Why cant it be tennis for 1
Whats the community like
Are there sweats?
There is squash
Squash?
Like the food?
OH
I remember that
I think
Thats the tennis vs ai but irl
Cuz its a wall
Im so tired
Hahahaha
Yeah but even squash is usually played with two people, using the wall as part of the playing field
Fuck
