Yea but I don't live in the US and it's not normal in my country

Oh

Idk then

Well that’s

#

Very unfortunate

rocky gale
#

My town just has really shit Public transport for some reason

#

Like everywhere else in the country is great, we're just a deadspot

#

My town is just too small for public transport

green loom
#

We have like

#

One bus

#

To the north

#

On like 2 days

#

And then one train on sundays

#

The town 15 minutes from us meanwhile has access to the entire country more or less lol

arctic talon
#

Japan has good public transportation mf’ers when I drop them in the middle of nowhere and the primary export of the town is rice

#

And there’s a train station that’s a 30 minute drive

rocky gale
#

The trainline used to go through our town, but when the industry died they closed the line and made it go around the town instead and there's no stations near enough that are worth using

arctic talon
#

Rip

rocky gale
#

Don't worry, they recently turned all the old train lines into cycle paths, that will save the day thumbsup_ogryn

arctic talon
rocky gale
#

You know, instead of just making them train lines again

arctic talon
#

Okay but what’s the cheaper option

#

That still gives good pr

#

Even if it does nothing

rocky gale
#

Yea, I think it was a tourism decision. They wanted to advertise that you could cycle across the entire country as like a holiday idea

arctic talon
#

Bruh

#

This sounds like the Netherlands

rocky gale
#

Netherlands makes sense because it's like incredibly flat

arctic talon
#

Telling tourists to cycle everywhere(there is a giant mountain)

rocky gale
#

Aye just cycle from Tildarg to Kells across the Big Collin

well, urban hills

rocky gale
#

So apparently a large portion of chuds who abandoned 40k over the Custodes lore tried to find a new home in Trench Crusade, since they saw the aesthetic and assumed it would be a good fit, turns out the Trench Crusade community is incredibly inclusive and is pretty zero tolerance on discrimination and bigotry, so the newcomers were quickly made aware that they were not welcome, so now they're seething online about that.

outer wave
#

Yep heard about that

#

I love the art in that and followed the artist before the game was a thing

#

Really cool to see his art being used

rocky gale
#

It was some insane stuff, they were doing investigations into what was happening, first they thought it was rogue mods on the Discord, server but then when they learned the Discord Server was ran by a Fan Magazine for the game they thought "They're trying to sabotage the Devs" so they got in contact with the Devs to "warn them" and the Devs told them to fuck off and that they supported the Discord Mods.

The misogynists jumping ship to a new IP doesn't sound awful for 40k though

It's all politics my guy

yeah no need to inject real world politics into it tho

Damn they arent barnyard animals?

radiant lance

I've never read animal farm ngl

outer wave
#

HUh?

radiant lance
#

Is the princess of 40k in another castle?

plush mason
#

yeah animal farm is literally just a political protest written in a way to avoid government censorship, cant really compare it to other satires due to that

rocky gale
plush mason
#

tbch i kinda wish bigotry wasnt seen as a political thing

outer wave
#

Like really, how do you get around the real life politics bit when building a world?

plush mason

you cant

but we can keep the real world crap out of it as much as we can

humen dum

plush mason
#

with 40k the problem is real world bigots see the horrible crap the imperium does and think its a goal to strive for, when GW has said time and again 40k is a just a hobby game and nothing more

#

if anything 40k is a warning about what could happen to humanity

radiant lance
#

The Imperium was meant to be a satire of fascism, so of course it'll have elements of what we have seen in history

#

Like,.are we meant to just make up a new form of an autocracy that squashes political dissent?

radiant lance
#

Massive outrage and boycotting a GW retcon again is kinda ridiculous for something innocuous just for writing "she." They've done other things like kill off the squats, sunset the old space marines, and other retcons that actually affect the lore more than a female custodes

outer wave
storm jungle
#

I mean how else can you introduce it

plush mason
outer wave
#

An actual book probably or models with the female heads

storm jungle
#

acting like its always been a thing is pretty much the best way to go about it, Custodians got no "they must only be men" rule like Marines have it outlined on rulebooks

#

tho extra head options to go with it deffo would help lol

outer wave
#

Yeah people would be at least a bit happy

#

Plus fix up their rules

storm jungle
#

People would have been mad either way tho ye

#

this fandom is filled with chuds so like lol

rocky gale
#

Yea as has been clarified many times, it's not really a retcon, it's just a clarification. "It's always been there" is how they do things, because even when they come up with a lore reason for why something changed people still complain.

plush mason
#

if only the community could do to the chuds what the imperium does to every minor alien race it finds and wants the world said aliens live on

outer wave
storm jungle
#

The process is painstakingly done gene-alchemy which would go above gender stuff, Custodians are suppose to be the peak of humanity, making them just men would be very weird with the special scientific knowledge used to make them to begin with.

radiant lance
storm jungle
#

the tradition thing is extremely stupid

#

lol

rocky gale
#

But that just codifies that there were never women custodes and they are being added, which isn't what happened.

storm jungle
#

^

outer wave
#

YO BASED I LOVE THE OGRES

storm jungle
#

Its cope

#

a really bad one

rocky gale
#

The lore never specified it had to be men, that was headcanon from the audience

plush mason
#

iirc there are noble families on terra that give like almost every child they have to the custodes

storm jungle
#

Okay but like again, theres no need to justify it. Custodians are not this blatant or discriminatory.

radiant lance
#

Old lore called them brothers, but tbf, co Ed fraternities do the same thing

plush mason
#

so if they only did the sons their lines would have long ended

storm jungle
#

Retcons are all what warhammer is about, it doesnt really matter

radiant lance
#

This is GW

storm jungle
#

especially this

#

theres been WAY, WAY worse retcons lol

plush mason
#

^

radiant lance
#

All they do is just delete old lore

storm jungle

^

plush mason
#

^

radiant lance
#

Like what happened to the star child and sensei lol

storm jungle
#

lmao

#

and then they just brought it back

#

in some random ass book

radiant lance
#

Completely ignoring old lore and making a sudden new canon is what GW does best

plush mason
#

in fact the way i know most of this "outage" is from outside the community is a lot of it is from people that think retcons arent something GW does often

storm jungle
#

Its a nothing-burger

plush mason
#

^

rocky gale
#

Explain how it's poorly handled retcon then?

storm jungle
#

Im really not

#

ive been a 40k fan for 12 years

#

so like, calling me dense for not caring about a dumb retcon is a bit lol

radiant lance
#

All of their retcons are poorly handled

storm jungle
#

^

rocky gale
#

What piece of lore specifically has been irrevocably damaged by the change?

plush mason
#

none of it

storm jungle
#

Pretty much

rocky gale
#

Name one instance in any book which now doesn't make sense because of this change?

plush mason
#

this change is so small it has next to 0 impact

gray umbra
#

Warcraft is a much bigger offender for doing stupid shit

rocky gale
#

Name one major story plot point from any novel which is lessened or ruined by this change?

radiant lance
#

Yeah it's just ridiculous that "this retcon ruined 40k" when you have shit like squats straight up being deleted in the past

gray umbra
#

Its typical in these sort of expansive universes anyway

storm jungle
#

like i said above, Custodians are the side faction OF side factions, their matters and interjections to the grand narrative of modern 40k is very small. Them having women in their ranks now changes basically nothing, they are still supremacist assholes that hate space marines and want to protect the Emperor.

plush mason

radiant lance
#

And now we have dommy muscle mommies protect daddy Emps

gray umbra
storm jungle
#

Thats kind of what happens when the subject is pretty much null

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Not really but sure

gray umbra
#

All im gonna say is its too much bandwidth to get caught on this nonsense

storm jungle
#

Also that yeah

#

again, its a nothing burger

radiant lance
#

I just love shitposting

gray umbra
#

If u wanna stress about female custodes then u do u

#

Me too

storm jungle
#

Id understand the outrage more if it was something that actually mattered lol

rocky gale
#

Aka "I've been challenged on my statements and have no defence, so I'm leaving"

storm jungle
#

Pretty much, most people wont care and will just move on basically.

#

It more or less effects nothing like i said above too

rocky gale
#

Wasn't meaning to be hostile sorry, was attempting to be humorous

radiant lance
#

There's a SigMarxism subreddit. Amazing. It's a leftist subreddit dedicated to Warhammer

gray umbra
radiant lance
#

The name is just amazing

storm jungle
#

Its an artistic one

#

Darktide shows you can armor ogryns for more heavier stuff

rocky gale
#

Ogryns can be incredibly claustrophobic, do you think they get scared if they're wearing too much clothing?

storm jungle
#

and we know this is fact because every cosmetic in Darktide needs to get approved by GW

plush mason
#

bullgryns have a shit ton of armor iirc, plus ogryns can just shrug off most damage so armor isnt as needed

#

its down to their roles

radiant lance
plush mason
#

bullgryns are mainly a defensive force so they are tanky as all hell but slow

#

the ones used more offensively will have less armor so they can move faster

outer wave
#

I'd have imagined full armor for ogryns isn't used alot due to lack of care from the users

#

Which means constant replacement which they probably don't wanna bother with

radiant lance
#

Their skin is naturally incredibly tough

plush mason
#

they kinda dont need it afaik, they are insanely tough with thick skin and few pain receptors

#

they can weather bolter fire and survive even when whole chunks of their flesh gone

outer wave
#

I think this calls for an actual ogryn faction

#

An incredibly based and ogre pilled idea

#

But yeah apparently giving an Ogryn terminator armor weakens them so that should be somewhat indicative of their strength and endurance

#

Beats me, I got that info off Dilara from here

lunar crag
#

I wonder if the return of guilliman and lion would change the imperium policy on technology

#

I feel like they would allow taking in xeno tech like the tau plasma weapons

plush mason
#

not likely becuse its the admech that rule that sphere

lunar crag
#

well primaris and new power armor

#

is a thing

#

so they kind of got some influence

#

on it

plush mason
#

because of Cawl

lunar crag
#

isnt that technically

#

heresy

plush mason
#

yes

lunar crag
#

i thought its only allowed bc of guilliman

plush mason
#

Cawl is a barely tolerated heretek

#

always has been

lunar crag
#

oh

#

makes sense

plush mason
#

the emperor himself sanctioned many of Cawl's works so the rest of the admech cant do anything about it

lunar crag
#

but the Emperor didn't sanction the ability to invent?

#

how

#

odd

plush mason
#

because he largely left the mechanicum alone

#

plus iirc the whole "no inventing" stuff is more of a mechanicus thing

green loom
#

Emps did lots of inventing

plush mason
#

the mechanicum was a bit more open to it

green loom
#

And was also gathering like minded weirdos on Terra

lunar crag
#

wait whats the diff between mechanicus and mechanicum

#

i thought they were the same

green loom
#

AdMech are all the dogmatic elements that survived the Schism of Mars

plush mason
#

^

#

the mechanicum largely sided with horus during the heresy

green loom
#

The extremes on world tore each other apart, one leaving with the traitors, the other staying

#

Whoever was left was uh

#

Pretty radicalised

#

Also the whole

plush mason
#

the mechanicus is formed from the loyalist factions of the mechanicum

green loom
#

Mass scrap code thing

#

Didn't help things much

#

What with vast, vast swathes of information and research being lost

lunar crag
#

so mass stupidity for no reason

#

at this rate im suprised they still know how to make gear for space marines

plush mason
#

it doesnt help that due to the warp any "burst of inspiration" for a new invention could be coming from a literal daemon tricking the inventor into making some nightmare device

green loom
#

Inventing is still a thing TBF but it has to go through the Admech's nightmare beaurocracy

#

It took the space wolves some 300+ years to get a vehicle variant approved

plush mason
#

because inventing is seen as a blasphemy against the ancestors

green loom
#

Cawl gets away with what he does because he has immense political pull among the Admech, a sizeable chunk of supporters, and the blessing of the highest levels of imperial authority

plush mason
#

an act of hubris and a proclamation that you know better than the great ones that came before

lunar crag
#

would he get in trouble

green loom
#

Probably not

plush mason
#

no because he is the son of the omnissia

lunar crag
#

makes sense

#

being the son of God does give a lot of pass

plush mason
#

so he was way way more pull than any tech-priest

plush mason
lunar crag
#

yeah

green loom
#

The Omnissiah is their Jesus figure yeah

lunar crag
#

the emperor pressed the on button

#

on a titan

#

orchid lark
#

Islam tries to keep up and make plans for the future

#

When space travel was possible

#

Bunch of philosophers and oldheads went ham on discussions

#

Lots of agreements on how islamic societies would behave on space and how “new meccas” for the purpose of prayer directions were established

#

Praying in ZeroG was also discussed and actually done practically in 2014-2016

#

For that one the consensus was, since youre not on land and theres no actual direction to pray toward, the sun or nearest star is sufficient and correct

#

Because thats essentially a extension of “if youre lost and you dont know the direction to Mecca, you pray towards where the sun rose

#

Transhumanism discussions are still off and on with those guys too

#

Which for the most part like current prosthesis, youre not allowed to be buried with it

#

But what if its internal augmentations?

#

Same thing, probably

thorn zenith
#

i grew up with buddhism and people in my country have general outlook that its gospels are timeless, and modern stuff are usually individually brought up to individual clerics rather than the whole thing being reevaluating and updated

#

prolly doesnt help that buddhism itself is practiced somewhat loosely even among the faithful

#

in my country that is

orchid lark
#

We kinda have to update our understanding to modernity, it kinda doesnt make sense to keep it in the context of the past

#

Problem is, 80-90% of muslims dont realise that

My biggest fear with doing that i feel, some people might just change the tone and wordings to fit their vision better.

The more people want to update religion to modernity the more dangerous it becomes when those people are in the wrong

Yeah, true. Ive never considered that before

#

Theres gonna be chaos if the vatican does it and they happen to not like the outcome

# orchid lark Good, dont fall for them salesman of salvation

I consult with others on their relationship, what it means to walk with God and their journey. but I don't consider them my teachers. I can live a good life, but without my faith, not an organization's, to keep me anchored, I would easy be easy prey to zealotry, and be like other bozos who froth at the mouth on their pews. my belief/faith, is between God and I, its why I pray for guidance from him. It's not gonna be like I'm hearing a voice in my head because we all know what that leads to.

yea honestly teaching how to work in groups was easily the largest oversight in my education

but 100% the most important when it comes to actually working

Some professors are really bad at doing it

Regarding teaching people to work in groups

Group projects always turn into one person doing it anyways

arctic talon

Depends

I’ve had some where an actual work flow is developed

Yeah it’s one person doing all the work

the dead weight guilts the rest into sink or swim

it can be structured/graded appropriately but it's more work than just assigning a group of like 4 to turn in a joint paper/presentation

Tbh joint presentation and papers aren’t bad

Joint paper wouldve made me kill myself in college

My school taught me one thing I genuinely value

And that's presentation/public speaking

scenic bolt

had one somewhat evil prof who made us do two copies of every assignment, first was done solo couple days later as an assigned group and upon turning in the group project you had to mark whether you were graded solely upon your solo attempt or group attempt

that's the actual reason

crystal forum

this is basically a reversal right?

arctic talon
#

not entierly

crystal forum
#

i see literally 0 point to changing it to this

arctic talon
#

since the new UI is "new"

#

idfk

scenic bolt
#

it's especially prevalent in the larger tech companies but if you have a stable UI that hasnt changed in 12 years and needs no major changes other than like backend maintainence then the hyper ambitious people working those jobs get stuck

crystal forum
#

i get how online media companies love to change UI to pretend like the company is working

#

but why this change

arctic talon
#

I mean the company is working

#

in a literal sense lol

#

doesn't mean its in a useful way

crystal forum
#

owning a media company is literally the easiest shit ever

#

so easy they have to pretend to solve issues

scenic bolt
#

its also derived from the bottom like I said but also from the top, cause the money wants perpetual growth and 'innovation' if they wanted stable and safe theyd've invested in an index fund

crystal forum
#

at least it's no AI generated and people are being paid i hope

somehow the only good side i can think of

some of the code is prolly AI generated lol

then again borrowing code is so prevelant in the industry meh

#

it's kind of funny that in some chinese animation and game companies specifically theyve fired a lot of their artists to use AI cause its cheaper, AI companies now have a large portfolio of clients and proceeded to jack up their prices so much that it became cheaper to breach contract and rehire artists

#

why does khorne kill psykers if he needs psykers to make into demons

celest dome
#

He doesn't need Psyker to make into Daemons

#

Though they do use them to summon Daemons in real space

#

So they are used, but aren't celebrated like the normal people

#

Also it's starting to go away, like it's kinda stupid lore, hating Sorcerer should remain though

snow fern
#

Khorne thinks magic is for nerds, but summoning people to the murder party is a okay

orchid lark
#

As long as the blood flows and skulls are taken

celest dome
#

Psyker and Magister of Khorne should exist, but they should have rules where if they cast from "safe" distances they get punished and stuff

raven stone
#

Also Khorne does not hate psykers enough to overlook opportunities, pretty much.

#

Like if a psyker randomly started to worship him/picked up a Khorne artefact, Khorne is more than happy to say “eh, you will do”

#

It’s just Khorne slowly corrupts said individual into a non-psyker, ironically enough.

#

(Biggest example: Azariah Kyras)

#

Also also, if a non-aligned psyker turns into a warp portal, Khorne demons aren’t picky about the breach either.

celest dome
raven stone
#

No and yes and no?
GW has not been fully on either side of that. But Blood Ravens do show up in the codex and other media with their post DoW2 war cry

#

(Or motto)

#

But ultimately I just feel it makes a bit more sense

#

Demons may be picky but they are not…well, stupid.

celest dome
#

Eating Psyker is always fun, and different from using or allowing Sorcerer to pledge themselves to Khorne

raven stone
#

Yea, it probably doesn’t help that (until very recently with Dark Heresy publications) the line between psyker and sorcery is not well defined by lore

#

Probably more accurate to say Khorne dislikes sorcery in particular.

celest dome
#

The line has always been very well explained

raven stone
#

Summoning Demons is the weird middle ground between the two.
Ok fair, yea. Morning brain moment.

celest dome
#

Psyker and Magister use the Raw Chaos, Sorcery depend on using deals with "sentient" Warp Denizen

#

Faith magic is Sorcery but Psyker and Magister isn't

orchid lark
#

I always thought that Khornate psykers could exist but because of who they worshipped they decided to just constantly cast hand axe and sword instead

#

They become indistinguishable from any other khornate worshipper

Oh hey potential reveals today?

sacred wadi
#

Hey guys, can someone give a me quick run down of what happened to Cadia?
last time i looked at the table top, 6th edition ruleset had just released and Abbadon's 13th Black Crusade was happening for years (irl) at that point. Cadia was still holding. But i noticed Cadia is like, destroyed in darktide.

#

also second question: i noticed in character creation 2 eye colors are only available to Cadian homeworlders - can anyone explain the lore behind that?

green loom
#

Cadians have purple eyes due to their proximity to the eye of terror

sacred wadi
#

ah i see, so just warp effects

green loom
#

Also you just about missed the Gathering Storm campaign

#

That concluded 6th/started 7th

#

I think

#

Might've concluded 7th idr

sacred wadi
#

did cadia fall when 7th ruleset was introduced?

green loom
#

It was destroyed during Gathering Storm

gray umbra
#

Cadia exploded and the eye of terror split the universe in two

sacred wadi
#

this is also before the whole Dark Imperium arc and Roboute Gulliman was ressurected - does Darktide occur with Guilliman alive?

green loom
#

Leads directly into it

#

Guilliman is revived in Gathering Storm 3

sacred wadi
green loom
#

No there's a literal scar across the galaxy

sacred wadi
green loom
green loom
#

Since the Indomitus crusade is ongoing

sacred wadi
#

ok so Darktide takes place after Gathering Storm/7th edition but before Guilliman is revived?

green loom
#

After

#

The characters mention guilliman being back sometimes

queen laurel
#

Yeah one of the voice lines is talking about his return we

#

We're basically at the beginning of the indomitus crusade

sacred wadi
#

Oooohhh ok, so Darktide is set during the Dark Imperium arc

green loom
#

We dunno the exact timeframe

#

Just vaguely after The Crusade starts

sacred wadi
#

is everything in the Imperius Ninhilus on that map, just like lost to chaos?

green loom
#

Nope, but it's cut off

sacred wadi
#

jeepers, that must suck, how do those worlds survive without a direct line to Terra etc?

green loom
#

There is a line to Terra but it's contested

#

The Nachmund Gauntlet

#

Otherwise theyre just trying to hold on

#

Biggest holdout is probably Baal and the surrounding systems

sacred wadi
#

the homeworlds we get to choose in darktide, are they all part of the same solar system? Moebius or soemthing?

gray umbra
#

Its like when the roman empire started to fall apart. But you have dante and lion el johnson on the imperium nihilus side iirc

They're mostly all part of the Moebian domain yeah

they ever reveal any information about the "conversation" gulliman had with the emperor? i have not kept up with 40k lore in several months

green loom
#

They were tagging along with Luther

Got teleported around space and time

sacred wadi
#

thats enough questions for now, i appreciate the lord keepers 🙏

sacred wadi
#

fans have copiumed that the Emperor, having been clinging to life and trying to hold the Warp Travel stuff together (for over 10k years), barely had the time to take a moment and even address Guilliman

#

whats the warp stuff called? the path way that the emperor keeps open?

#

ah "The Emperor's Tarot"

He is said to still guide His race through the psychically-reactive divination tool known as the Emperor's Tarot, which select psykers can consult to gain a glimpse of the future and the Emperor's will.

#

Wait nevermind, im thinking of the **Astronomincon **

The Golden Throne is also connected to a massive psychic beacon known as the Astronomican, which makes faster-than-light travel possible for Imperial starships outfitted with a Warp-Drive by generating a telepathic signal by which the specialised mutant psykers known as Navigators are able to navigate through Warpspace.

#

basically: The Emperor is wearing a lot of hats, and stretched very thin. so when Guilliman met with him, he was just like "do this and this, no go" type vibe

green loom
#

I dunno about the throne room proper but we get a full scene with Bobby and Emps in godblight

crisp heath
#

The Emperor is literally insane

#

He spoke in a thousand voices and they all had different emotions and he basically alternated between calling Guilliman a failure and trying to convince him he loved him

#

Guilliman walks away from it deciding the Emperor is a monster

tough haven
#

But the thing is, there’s literally no substance, it just says a ton of emotions but isn’t like “hey, here’s what I want you to do”

#

If he gave a bunch of conflicting commands after that exchange, I would think the interaction was cooler
