storm jungle

LMAO

I still like it tbh

#

tho i do love how upset american viewers get at the blunt political commentary

#

"we are nowhere this bad, its so goofy and ridiculous"

#

💀

outer wave
#

Yeah its super on the nose with its parallels

storm jungle
#

Its hard not to ngl

#

western politics is crazy

outer wave
#

I hate western politics

#

But Im sure we all do here

storm jungle
#

Minus the actual americans i guess

#

I learn all my western political information from trustworthy sources. Like Metal Gear Solid

outer wave
#

I unironically use reddit for that stuff

#

Anyway yeah Boys focus on cycle of violence and revenge and shit is kinda neat

green loom
#

Brb I have to get my 40k opinions from r/HorusGalaxies

outer wave
#

Its nice they wanna focus more on character stuff rather than making a Glorious Bastards tromp

storm jungle
#

Boys is atm pretty much HotD'ing itself atm, questionable scenes you mostly gloss over because the acting is spectacular.

outer wave
#

But yeah I almost want more of that tbh

#

Yeah I heard season 4 has some weird shit

storm jungle
#

It does but im so uncaring of edgy shit i just didnt care so much about it. I dont really get why people are so upset over them either.

#

Like S1, 2 and so on had even worse shit lol

green loom
#

Internment camps!

storm jungle
#

I mean

#

not the first time the U.S did that

I just know of the ||pedophile supe that hits on some teenager and admits it to the crowd||

storm jungle
outer wave

Yep

storm jungle

and people go "thats not realistic"

Oh yeah they absolutely do

green loom
#

Where's Siggy with his list of unpunished celebrity crimes

storm jungle

wow its almost like HE IS going through puberty

storm jungle
#

Why do you think i am saying it as a turkish person

#

Love paying 50000 bucks to buy some water

dusk patrol
#

But yeah the shows ok I’ll finish the season

#

But goddamn I’m so bored of like

#

The weird sex stuff

storm jungle
#

KEK

dusk patrol
#

And it takes up half the fucking episode sometimes

storm jungle
#

ıts mostly fine as long as it serves the plot, the Tek Cave stuff was um

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Yes it is gross that he inserted the thing in Spider-Nots web hole, thank you writers

#

Really shooting for the uprights there

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

It’s a whole thing

#

Last episode was just weird

#

And kinda tone deaf

storm jungle
# outer wave The what now

||Tek Knight basically has a sex dungeon under his manor, also admits his ancestors were slave catchers... which uh, yeah checks out||

rocky gale
#

The bit that gets me is the show runners being like "This is the funniest thing we've ever done" and then it's just ||a rape scene||

dusk patrol
#

The shows becoming a bit like the comics now and not in a good way

viral halo
#

The memes from the tek knights thing are killing me

#

NO NOT THOSE PEOPLE

storm jungle
#

DUDE

#

THAT SCENE LMFAO

viral halo
#

I don't watch the show anymore but that scene destroyed me

dusk patrol
#

It’s so goofy

green loom
#

The boys is like if the like 3 incest focused episodes of Rick and Morty where a full series instead

storm jungle
#

I mean

viral halo
#

Garth Ennis fucking sucks btw

storm jungle
#

Hes a sack of shit

#

but i still prefer the show

viral halo
#

except for his punisher max run

#

generational

dusk patrol
#

I liked the show because it wasn’t like the Ennis version

storm jungle
#

people who complain about the content of it has no idea how bad his stuff is.

shadow plover
#

oh the show is infinitely better than the comic, the show is pretty average

dusk patrol
#

And it’s slowly become more and more like it

storm jungle
#

they are awful

#

both ennis and non-ennis ones

dusk patrol
#

The worst part

rocky gale
#

Garth Ennis is the worst thing my country has produced tbh

dusk patrol

Is the ennis ones are the best

||"Lets have some cannibal-rapists tore open a child apart while her parents get ass-raped"||

dusk patrol
#

The others were somehow worse for me. I didn’t finish them all

storm jungle
#

^

dusk patrol
#

It was just goofy

storm jungle
#

the only good one is Wish You Were Here which is actually great and has proper storytelling

#

and the focus is more the people than gore

viral halo
#

The worst scene in crossed is the comic book store lol

dusk patrol
#

He literally made it betting with a friend who could make the most fucked up comic

rocky gale
#

Wish you were here is the only one I've read

storm jungle
#

I really liked it

#

it feels like a good mid 2000's zombie movie

rocky gale
#

The most fucked up part is that someone recommended it to me as a porn comic

storm jungle
#

LOL

rocky gale
#

and I read it like staregryn

storm jungle
#

Came for the porn, stayed for the scottish people shooting naked infected hooligans on the highlands

dusk patrol
#

With jiz bullets

viral halo
#

Man crossed is so bad lol

dusk patrol
#

Don’t forget those

green loom
#

The best part of this HotD season is just

dusk patrol
#

“I do not wish to hear it”

storm jungle
#

Otto is a mood

rocky gale
#

Otto facing the consequences of what he's spent the last 30 years planning

dusk patrol
#

Although he did make his own bed

storm jungle
#

^

#

he just lost control of the situation

#

"This.... PRANK."

dusk patrol
#

He should have tried helping his daughter and grandsons be you know

#

Competent

storm jungle
#

Okay but

#

that requires spending time with kids

#

who the fuck wants to do that

dusk patrol
#

Trueeee

green loom
#

Like what does he even do

dusk patrol
#

Especially those white haired freaks

storm jungle
#

KEK

dusk patrol
green loom
#

At least Robert was just a shitty dad and was having fun but like what does Otto do, fkn eat grass outside the city?

storm jungle
#

Okay but

#

Robert was legit an awful guy in every aspect

#

lmfao

dusk patrol
#

Tbf they’re not the worst kids

storm jungle
#

tho i approve of domestic violence when its against Cersei

dusk patrol
#

They’re not good but

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

If they didn’t turn them on each other

#

They’d be fine enough

storm jungle
#

Also yeah this is why i like HotD/Early GoT in general

#

you can just talk about everyones flaws

#

or how cool they are

#

they are actual characters

green loom
#

Do you like Green Daemon or Black Daemon

dusk patrol
#

It’s not like Rhenyra is surrounded by the best dudes either

storm jungle
#

^

#

its why i hate when people go

rocky gale
#

As in like Daemon Blackfyre?

storm jungle
#

"this decision of hers makes no sense"

dusk patrol
#

Daemon is a psychopath

storm jungle
#

Me when people are irrational and make bad mistakes

green loom
rocky gale
#

Oh

dusk patrol
#

The Seasnake is pretty cool but his wife is kinda fucked up too

#

Also ffs Rheanyra

#

Could you not

rocky gale
#

Wonder if they'll make a show about the Blackfyre rebellion

green loom
#

"I will murder 5000 peasants on holy ground but I draw the line at Regicide"

dusk patrol
#

Have one fucking kid with him

#

Not once

rocky gale
#

I need more Targs to simp for

storm jungle
#

How can i care about Targs when the Blackwoods and Brackens exist

rocky gale
#

Brackens better

storm jungle
#

BORDER VIOLATION

green loom
dusk patrol
#

WHO TOUCHED THE STONES?!

rocky gale
#

I was waiting for the two of them to kiss tbh

storm jungle
green loom
#

Just like in Season 1

#

Willem showed that Bracken what for

storm jungle
#

LOL

#

fucking gutted him

green loom
#

What was he like

#

7?

storm jungle
#

YEAH

dusk patrol
#

I’m sure that helped relations

storm jungle
#

its fiiiiine

#

a few dead sons

#

can always make more

dusk patrol
#

They got a lot of those

storm jungle
#

Omniman was spitting with that logic

dusk patrol
#

The problem with Omniman is he didn’t just do that

#

What a bitch

rocky gale
#

He kinda did

green loom
#

Unfortunately it's very one sided because the Brackens always lose since George likes the Blackwood's colour scheme a lot more

dusk patrol
#

Well yeah but he did it wrong

#

He made a gross bug kid

rocky gale
green loom
#

Blackwoods tick too many of my boxes

dusk patrol
#

I liked Omniman until I saw him tonguing the bug lady

storm jungle
#

LMAO

rocky gale
#

I liked him more

storm jungle
#

I do love how later on Thragg is like

#

"bro this planet's women are a literal infinite soldier glitch"

#

smartest antagonist ive seen

dusk patrol
#

Churn em out

storm jungle
#

He really did that RTS grindset i can respect it

dusk patrol
#

I need to just read the comics

rocky gale
#

Doesn't he buy an entire apartment complex for all his families?

storm jungle
#

Uh no thats another viltrumite iirc

dusk patrol
#

I read a bit, Battle Beast showing up in season 1 was fucking hilarious

#

Literally one of the most dangerous dudes in the universe

storm jungle
#

Battle Beast showing up is like a underhive ganglord hiring a custodian to kill a vigilante

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Showing up for like, a street level villain

soft thunder
storm jungle
#

Like theres some bumps

#

but the plot/story itself is great

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

YEAH

rocky gale
storm jungle
#

he literally fucking destroys everyone

#

Mark is all "WHOS NEXT"

#

"Lol you."

dusk patrol
#

Get bored of how easy it is, leaves

storm jungle
#

literal 40k-tier villain

#

theres a later on scene where he fights ||with Thragg and uh, since hes injured, Battlebeast also disembowels himself to make it a "fair fight"||

#

what a fucking trooper

dusk patrol
#

I wish they’d explain how the fuck the dude got him there

storm jungle
#

Same but not gonna lie

#

the fact that its not explained

#

makes it more hilarious imo

dusk patrol
#

It’s funnier if it’s not yeah

rocky gale
#

He put an advert on Craigslist

dusk patrol
#

Or if he jsut like

#

Called someone

storm jungle
#

both of what you guys said prob

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Legit he’s the kinda guy who would show up if there’s a good enough fight, he’s probably easy to find

queen laurel
#

How the hell did he wonder up with some low level street

#

Thug

dusk patrol
#

Space Craigslist

queen laurel
#

Yeah it's funny

#

I will admit but a bit confusing

dusk patrol
#

It’s very out of left field

#

Cause everyone else is pretty normal earth villains

#

And then Thanos shows up

rocky gale
#

He was bored and had a free day

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Maybe he really likes tacos and needs a good supplier

queen laurel
#

Ghaz

#

You need to really make up a lot of explanations to even explain why he was there

#

But i think promise of combat is good enough

#

He is a very simple guy

dusk patrol
#

That’s my thing too, Invicible did the concept of superheroes being bad or having flaws and the dangers of their powers way beyond the boys

#

Because they’re not all pricks

dawn dune
#

blood axe could show up anywhere.

dusk patrol
#

It’s much bette execution

dawn dune
#

half of his boyz are mercenaries anyways.

dusk patrol
#

Irredeemable is also a better done execution

queen laurel
green loom
#

Just don't let Dr Disrespect near her

queen laurel
#

That's funny

sacred ginkgo
#

Holy shit that is really funny to like 6 people

arctic talon
#

Lol

fallen plaza
#

Amazing, another pedo influencer, wowie.

cloud flame
#

fuckin ell

winter vessel
#

I never much found the guy to be entertaining

dense lynx
#

agree

arctic talon
#

I’ve never seen any of his content lol

dawn dune
#

Idk why it is in almost every skin attempt they've made for lore accurate armor designs they seem to always mess it up. The chest Icon is wrong, the colors are only half correct, and the overall armor design only the helmet is right

fallen plaza
#

I mean, look at it

#

If they made the enforcer a 100% accurate a lot of stuff would clip

dawn dune
#

it looks like a cheap replica of the armor.

arctic talon
#

Btw

#

The palanite enforcers have an aquilla because that’s what palanite(the hive) on necromunda uses as it’s symbol

fallen plaza
#

Tbh i never liked that aquila kek

arctic talon
#

It’s not the imperial aquilla

#

I believe lol

fallen plaza
#

I am aware

#

Its a skull and eagle morph

arctic talon
#

I don’t know necromunda lore well

#

Tbh

fallen plaza
#

But yeah, personally i find the armor an improvement to the original model

#

But im biased so

arctic talon
#

I think I like both of them in a dif way

#

also I think its fine it looks different

dawn dune
#

I bought the armor. I am just confused as to why they always seem to do something different.

arctic talon
#

Idfk

#

It not being the same as the palanite armor makes sense though imo

#

since 2 dif hiveworlds

fallen plaza
#

With the enforcer i can understand

arctic talon
#

It being similar is a bit odd

#

but w/e

#

Palanite armor is prolly the bulkiest flak armor we've ever seen in the setting lol

#

either that or the Macabrian armor

dawn dune
#

Even when they made the krieg armor they got the proportions of the helmets wrong, and they didn't have a tube that connected from the helmet to the oxygen bag.

fallen plaza
#

The chest plate in the model is like one piece so in game it will clip a lot

arctic talon
#

the krieg helmet idk lol

#

I get why there's no connected tube

#

but the shape is goofy lol

#

its based on a British gas mask

dawn dune
#

There are ways to make the tube not clip, but it'd take a bit of effort. They seem to be putting in almost the least amount of effort in their model designs is what I am noticing.

arctic talon
#

While the DKOK minis have an american gas mask

arctic talon
#

imo

dawn dune
#

They could make it to where it has an alternate design for if you are wearing the chestpiece or not.

arctic talon
#

ye

#

either way I find the gas mask cute tbh

dawn dune
#

like the tube is connected if you have the chestpiece and isn't if you aren't wearing the full set.

fallen plaza
#

I can see it work with a tube without the need for alternate options

dawn dune
#

Considering how expensive the krieg set was, it should've been designed better.

arctic talon
#

I don't disagree

fallen plaza
#

Make the tube just dangle there, no connections just a physics object

arctic talon
#

but also I think most of the non pennance cosmetics

#

look like shit anyways

dawn dune
#

I just don't know why they think going with custom designs is better than following the actual designs. Some of them look alright, but none of them have been god tier imo. They are all bad in some way.

fallen plaza
dawn dune
#

as for the palatine armor bulk, I personally don't think it'd clip that much, and personally they just need better model designers and animators if they have an issue.

fallen plaza
#

I mean, the chest and shoulders are like one piece

#

Idk how well that would translate in game

dawn dune
#

yeah, but the shoulders are elevated enough that clipping wouldn't be that bad.

#

like unless your arms are able to go upwards enough to clip through the shoulder.

fallen plaza
#

I mean, if your arms move back and forth like with melee, that might be an issue

#

Think the pickaxe overheads or the crusher

dawn dune
#

might be an issue, but not a bad one considering how no one would really pay attention to that.

fallen plaza
#

Yeah fatshark is just kinda apathetic to cosmetics, been this way since the vt days

dawn dune
#

either way, I just find it weird. I personally think it could work, and making the armor a bit malleable to stretch mildly during certain movements wouldn't be bad.

dawn dune
#

IT'S A DICTATORSHIP

fallen plaza
#

Literally millennium 84

dawn dune
#

That's actually kind of sad af that he said that. Considering that when this game was first coming out the owner stated how much he loved warhammer and wanted this game to be as lore accurate as it can be while still be a video game. It's like the owner sold out or something.

#

I watched all the darktide videos where the devs wanted this game to be something good.

arctic talon
#

I mean the game is good gameplay and "feel" wise

#

so to speak imo

dawn dune
#

Now that the game has come out it seems they've just 180'd.

arctic talon
#

aesthetically they hit the fucking nail

#

and tonally

fallen plaza
#

I still think they are passionate, its just that with how they work its hard to get anything done so cosmetics are probably a chore to them, not that im condoning them.

#

Took them two fucking games to add a loadout system officially

dawn dune
#

Well look at the mod "Extended Weapon Customization" they promised customizeable weaponry, and stated they didn't have the funds and then they didn't want to do it in general. Dude made the mod by himself and it works pretty good. They could easily pay the man for his assets and add it to the game, but they don't.

#

I mainly just want the option to add a bayonet to any weapon.

fallen plaza
#

Stack bayonets on top of bayonets

dawn dune
#

The game is fun, and I enjoy it that much is certain, but I can't act like they haven't just 180'd on some things or sometimes mildly lie about things.

fallen plaza
#

cough dan abnett cough

dawn dune
#

I griped way too much in this lore channel. I really wish they'd make a sequel with orkz. Despite their numbers and efficiency in combat, we are taking down mf beasts of nurgle which are known to kill space marine squads by themselves. I personally think a mob of sluggas would be childs play.

#

it is kind of funny though that nurgle is like the only chaos god we can fight considering the others have easier conditions for summoning demons while nurgle has to wait for the plague to spread to a certain degree until nurgles garden pops up and even then things like Plague Bringers are usually evolved poxwalkers and can take up to 100 years to evolve, or depending on how fast the plague evolves to a very high degree to be able to summon them.

#

I am curious if the plague will spread far enough to be able to bring lesser daemons into play.

#

Considering the Beast of Nurgle is an abberation and is 100% required to be summoned.

#

or at least I think that's the case.

arctic talon
#

Yeah no someone is summoning beast of nurgles

#

Somewhere in the hive

sacred ginkgo
#

Wolfer mentioned ''Witches"

outer wave
#

Wytches*

#

Or wyches idk he spelt it with a y

sacred ginkgo
#

I would say close enough but those are vastly different in 40k

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

Something probably happened behind the scenes that caused it to get removed, modders dont exactly work under NDA either.

forest orbit
#

Didnt one of the devs confirmed GW was the one that said no to the shirtless cosmetic option because it wouldnt be "lore accurate"

storm jungle
#

Yes KEKW_ogryn

forest orbit
#

Christ

dusk patrol
#

It would look pretty dumb

storm jungle
#

Ehhh that depends. 40k has much goofier cosmetic options than just being bare chested.

#

But the underwear/tank top doesnt help

#

💀

dawn dune
#

GW finds a way to ruin things it seems.

dusk patrol
#

More like they made sure it wasn’t smh

storm jungle
#

Yeah remember we got no idea whats going on behind the scenes half the time lol

#

that shirtless top correction is just the tip of the iceberg

dawn dune
#

no barechested shit, meanwhile the field chirugeon from a feral world who were similar to indians be like.

dusk patrol
#

I’m very ok if they keep the cosmetics to in universe stuff only. Don’t need people to run around as Anime girl head marines and have infinity gauntlets or whatever

dusk patrol
#

And it’s their thing

dawn dune
#

also wasn't there an ogryn one that was pretty much barechested it just came with a shoulderpad?

dusk patrol
#

Oh wait we’re not talking about Space Marine

storm jungle
#

LMAO

dusk patrol
#

Ok now re read it for funnies

storm jungle
#

Because again they arent a huge studio and are also probably spread across 3 games at this point

#

and the enforcer armor is probably THE most accurate set they released so far, its not 100% mini-accurate but its at least 90% there, ive never seen driptide users for once not be unhappy about something and it kinda scared me

dusk patrol
#

I don’t love all the cosmetics but mostly their fine, my issue is more the price

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much same

dusk patrol
#

And how they’ve reduced the sizes of the deals too

storm jungle
#

i forgot the last thing i bought before the enforcer set dropped lol

#

well that and like

#

the penance gear slaps way more in some cases

winter vessel
#

Last thing I bought from the store was the Elsyian Drop Troop cosmetic set for the Vet.

storm jungle
#

ironic because the accatran lasguns are finally fixed

#

and almost perform too well KEKW_ogryn

green loom
#

"lore accurate designs" smarf

#

Like, the Death Korps mask looks slightly different

#

(Not like it hasn't already gone through like 7 different iterations)

storm jungle
#

the death korp mask is definitely awful

#

but like

#

i hate krieg so i dont care 💀

fallen plaza

Reddit regiment

sacred ginkgo
#

Seeing a full krieg outfit in a game with a helbore and shovel and knowing full well I am going to have to carry their ass

arctic talon
#

I have met a grand total of 3 people who like krieg + play the army

sacred ginkgo
#

Guard is cool

#

but other regiments are cooler

arctic talon
#

I don’t like catachan

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

Most expensive army + the worst army

fallen plaza
#

Dont you fucking dare

arctic talon
#

They’re literally the worst army in HH rn

#

Because of what GW did to AP lol

fallen plaza
#

Ive heard it all

#

It hurts so bad

#

I try to deny it

arctic talon
#

The horde of AP4 in question

#

Solar Auxilia paying premium prices so they can get 4+ saves vox

#

Oh also pretty much every source of AP3 in Solar Auxilia died

fallen plaza
#

The new starter box is so laughably small

#

You need like 3 of them to start a proper army lmao

arctic talon
#

playing Solar Auxillia is literally self flagellation

fallen plaza
#

Its not shattered legions though at least

#

That is death

arctic talon
#

Shattered legions are absurdly good

#

if you build that one stupid strat

#

You see its lore accurate Iron Hands

#

I have like

#

one morbillion dreads

fallen plaza
#

Fury of the ancients spotted

arctic talon
#

Simply play mechanicum

fallen plaza
#

Unleash the grav guns

arctic talon
#

and bring less minis

#

then the Custodes player

#

and then watch the custodes player cry as you beat him to death with Robots

#

(you can also do this but worse in 40k)

fallen plaza
#

An acceptable death

fallen plaza
storm jungle
#

"Wait i dont like Krieg, im a Steel Legion fan."

arctic talon
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

its worse since you can't spam as many robots

azure knoll
#

alpha legion is a xenos puppet instead of a chaos one, the iron warriors are creepy, bitter, evil men, the night lords are creepy, evil men, huron blackheart is a bitter man and fabius bile is a creep

arctic talon
#

and you never could in 40k lol

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Kastellans have never been battleline or a troops option in 40k

storm jungle
#

now they are chaos puppets in 40k

azure knoll
#

are they?

arctic talon
#

however in 30k

#

its castellaxing time

azure knoll
#

ah yeah okay i get the reason

arctic talon
#

Yeah Alpharius drank theu h

#

Cabal?

#

whatever they're called

#

koolaid

dusk patrol
#

They didn’t care about the Cabal

azure knoll
#

gw hates designing gray character models for humanity

dusk patrol
#

They just used the info for their own ends

fallen plaza
azure knoll
#

it's either regular space marine or a chaos corrupted one with horns and spikes

arctic talon
#

30k 1st edition?

#

guh

azure knoll
#

can i please just have a regular dude man renegade space marine

arctic talon
#

you just use marine minis

#

for that

storm jungle
#

I got like 5

dusk patrol
#

Skorr?

arctic talon
#

maybe some chaos bits

storm jungle
#

you can make em for free

fallen plaza
azure knoll
#

yeah lemme use primaris marine models for alpha legion characters

#

yes absolutely

azure knoll
#

well... it's alpha legion

dusk patrol
#

Neat concept

#

Execution though….

azure knoll
#

that would not be that far out of the realm of possiblity

fallen plaza
dusk patrol
#

It does not

#

It’s an old old model anyways

storm jungle
# azure knoll are they?

Basically "realistically" speaking the Alpha Legion would absolutely have loyalist and traitor elements.

The issue is; this isn't a lore game. Its a tabletop game.

And Alpha Legion are a fully Chaos faction. Its why every representation they get in modern 40k is them destroying/fucking over Imperials, thats their entire gimmick. And any person who says these acts are "secretly loyalist actions" are on giga-tiers of copium.

azure knoll
#

if i can't have fluff in a game, i'm finding a person that allows me to have fluff to play with

storm jungle
#

Its more or less factoring in your normal AL fan who wants them to see guerilla/spy warfare tactics against the Imperium instead of being "noble hero spies".

#

you WILL drink your cyanide pill

fallen plaza
#

Or the erabus model, which i think still is gorgeous

dusk patrol
#

There’s a couple, Skorr is quite a bit older and his model just wasn’t the best

arctic talon
#

I won't stop anyone from playing LSM painted as AL

#

tbh

#

anyone who does stop someone from playing over that

#

is a dickhead lol

fallen plaza
#

Im curious

#

What would stop you from playing with someone purely based on models

dusk patrol
#

Lore wise it’s not impossible I just push back when people act like it’s at all normal

dusk patrol
#

That would be a line for me

arctic talon
fallen plaza
#

Cant top that

chat how do i explain gulliman is my favorite primarch to my freind

#

his favorite is vulkan

azure knoll

reliable

#

it's his thing

#

people say it's spreadsheets or plot armor but he knows his shit

soft thunder
#

idk the lore but my impression is that they both care about the common person.

Vulkan would die to save a commoner's life. Guilliman would devote his life to improving the commoner's quality of life.

azure knoll
#

that would be a thing of all loyalist primarchs i fear

#

while vulkan would die to save a single person's life, and i think he'd do it even if he wasn't a perpetual, and others wouldn't, it's not a good enough distinction for why people would like guilliman

#

i genuinely just think guilliman makes reliable systems that, if operated correctly, create and sustain empires

#

and the best way to sustain an empire is to 1. have a well supplied army and 2. to have happy people

and do i have the wrong impression of ferrus being a very "i give those that wish to help themselves a way forward" kinda person?

arctic talon

Sort of? I guess?

azure knoll

which in my mind is caring about the common person

He wanted Medusa kept the way it was

And Medusa is a right proper hellhole

soft thunder
#

I mean most of the loyalists still left their home worlds as death worlds. 'hard times breed hard men blah blah blah'

as long as the primarch won't literally stomp a capable human dead to go kill a heretic (e.g. the lion), i consider them to be nice to people

# dusk patrol Most of these people are addicts or severely mentally ill

So I work at a psychiatric hospital as a nurse, and whenever we get people from prison who are on psych meds or rehab they just get locked in a cycle since apparently these prisons can’t be bothered to give their psych meds on a regular basis or their regimens to help get clean, so they just come to us after their all fucked up from their delicately balanced psychoactive drugs get unbalanced

Like 80% of our patients are homeless or in a shelter

There’s no substance abuse recovery inpatient settings near us, so we become the de facto one

And frankly a lot of these people don’t actually want to get clean and would have to be forced to

Or are just mentally off their rocker

It’s rough, especially seeing people change so much after coming off it

It’s also fun seeing what people think will hurt you if they say it

It doesn’t, and even if it did, you leave the part of you that takes things personally at the door, cause these people aren’t giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time

I dont think random laypeople can help directly lol

What I find interesting is most of the crackheads I see at work arent directly and knowingly doing crack, they get it because they decide to get weed from unverified sources because its cheaper or whatever reason, and to the suprise of no one, its laced with shit, and then they get hooked on it

which is why I beat it into people's heads, if you're gonna do cannabis, fine, but fucking get it from a verified dispensary

or keep them in a farm where you feed them the bones for harvest
