i literally had a huge argument about beserk not too long ago lmao

crystal forum
#

i just need to admit i'm nostalgia biased

dusk patrol
#

gray umbra
#

What was the argument

storm jungle
gray umbra
#

I can guarantee you they all boil down to the same ones

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

opaque coyote
storm jungle

rose thorn

storm jungle
#

LOL

#

Yeah thats completely fine

#

Berserk is not for everyone

gray umbra
#

My gf liked golden age

storm jungle
#

it gets too edgy for me in some parts

gray umbra
#

Until yhe eclipse

#

The eclipse was a little too much

rose thorn
#

i loved the story of griffith and guts and cesca and their like

dusk patrol
#

Hey it’s hard to find good suffering porn ok

rose thorn
#

development

#

and understanding their sufferings and ideas

gray umbra
#

Rape as a backstory is usually an ick

#

Like just not good storytelling

rose thorn
#

i think cesca and griffith's made sense and was like

#

actually wirtten

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

but then after that it fell off pretty hard

arctic talon
#

It’s uncomfortable

#

But like

rose thorn
#

also the 3d movies/show was raelly bad

gray umbra
#

Yes

dusk patrol
#

I like berserk but I can get if it’s not for everyone

storm jungle
#

yeah this

#

its like GoT

gray umbra
#

After golden age it becomes revengeporn

rose thorn
#

argeed

gray umbra
#

Also horse penis

crystal forum
#

so true

gray umbra
#

Which is really weird even for me

rose thorn
#

introduce new young pretty girl
Intorduce villian

dusk patrol
#

Rape is a thing which happens irl, you just have to treat it with respect for what you’re writing if you want it to not become suffering porn

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

you can also not write about it

#

there's a choice

gray umbra
#

I appreciate that guts learns to let go a little bit later

#

But the early parts are like

rose thorn
#

you can, just dont be weird about it

dusk patrol
#

It’s ridiculous to say people can’t write about rape

gray umbra
#

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN

dusk patrol
#

They can and there’s tons of amazing stories which feature it

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

It’s just something you have to do well

opaque coyote
#

And if you screw it up

#

Uhh

gray umbra
#

Agree

opaque coyote
#

You're gonna get torches and pitchforks near your house

gray umbra
#

Goblin slayer fans

arctic talon
#

That’s just suffering and gore porn

#

Mostly

gray umbra
#

People were like "u should watch this, its just like berserk"

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

I watched the first episode and im just like

crystal forum
gray umbra
#

"Ok"

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Fair

dusk patrol
#

It’s the same as having a gratuitous torture scene or anything else awful. Or even just having drawn out sex scenes

arctic talon
#

It’s still very much suffering builds character

#

As well

dusk patrol
#

They should have a purpose

crystal forum
#

unless you have a very definitive artistic desire to use it

arctic talon
#

It’s gratuitous in violence

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Of all varieties

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

I actually like the story of it later on

#

But that doesn’t change my opinion

#

On it

opaque coyote
crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

I like Goblin Slayer for the actual character moments

#

Not the uh

arctic talon
#

It’s about an emotionally damaged person regaining their humanity

opaque coyote
#

Beginning

arctic talon
#

Not

#

💀

#

I think the author is weird still

opaque coyote
#

Goblin Slayer Abridged is funny tho

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

i dont like GRRM

dusk patrol
#

It’s a thing which happens irl and the idea that you can ever use it is silly, it’s just something you need to be careful with or should probably

gray umbra
#

I think asoif is interesting

opaque coyote
#

Lore Chat is hot take central lmao

gray umbra
#

But is definitely a story about penises

dusk patrol
#

Then I disagreed then, idk. There’s way too much great literature which uses it for a purpose and it works.

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Goblin slayer is infinitely better when it isn’t just non stop gore and suffering porn

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But the author likes those things so

gray umbra
#

Attack on titan was a wild ride

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Maybe he just got sick of it

opaque coyote
#

IT SUCKS

gray umbra
#

Every dies

arctic talon
gray umbra
#

The end

opaque coyote
#

Had to say it

arctic talon
#

Goes crazy still

#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

Especially if you’re trying to tell a somewhat realistic take on world, it’s a reality of the world. It’s only recently even we’ve even started punishing it for wars and stuff. And even then.

opaque coyote
crystal forum
opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

Its a trigger for some people

#

I dont like it as a prop but if it is used it has to be significant

arctic talon
#

I mean obviously it’s a trigger for some people

dusk patrol
#

Which is understandable, but so is a lot of things like torture and murder

#

There’s always going to be some things which people won’t be comfortable with and that’s ok

gray umbra
#

True

dusk patrol
#

Not everything has to cater to everyone.

#

In general I think describing a long sexual assault or anything like that is pretty distasteful unless there’s a very good reason for it, but I also don’t enjoy reading torture scenes or sex scenes either.

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

They can definitely easily feel like the author getting off to them

opaque coyote
#

An example of this is Metal Gear Riding: Revengeance.

They had to censor the blood for Japan

crystal forum
#

i do hate when people use dark humor as an excuse to be edgy

opaque coyote
#

In Japan it's white just like MGS4. (Insert joke here)

But in America it's just red.

arctic talon
#

It’s like

#

A bluish white

crystal forum
#

like no john you're not coping with abuse you're just trying to sound edgy

arctic talon
#

Bcs of the weird spines

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

I do think the whole “I cope with bad stuff with humor” is so cringe when people are making jokes about someone dying they don’t know

crystal forum
#

the internet is absolutely full of edgy humor

dusk patrol
#

It happens on Reddit a lot

#

Someone dies in a ridiculous way and everyone starts making jokes

#

“Oh it’s just how I cope”

#

Cope with what?

#

You have nothing invested here

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Tbh I don’t even mind that

#

Jsut like don’t make an excuse

#

You just wanna make edgy jokes

#

And that’s ok

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Just say that

crystal forum
#

you'll see this shit all the time on twitter the millisecond somebody famous dies

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

The way people react to people dying online in recent years has

opaque coyote
#

The US healthcare system can drive off a bridge and into the firey pits of hell

dusk patrol
#

Really made me jaded

crystal forum
#

everybody has to always be super cynical

opaque coyote
#

"You can't even die right"

crystal forum
#

like you're not norm macdonald shut the fuck up

dusk patrol
#

I’ll always respect Norm for sticking to his guns with never telling a soul about his cancer

#

Not even his family

#

Idk if that’s really a good choice but goddamn

#

That’s some conviction

opaque coyote
#

Also the fact that almost immediately after Etika died.

People started making "I CALLED EKITA AT 2 AM"

Literally RIGHT AFTER HE DIED BY SUICIDE.

#

They couldn't even wait a fucking week

#

Literally the day after

#

What’s new

gray umbra
#

There was some chicago lawyer in 2005 who basically predicted the internet turning into a cesspool and he was pretty much spot on

opaque coyote
#

Ok that sounds like I have rose tinted glasses

#

And yeah I definitely do

#

But for me it was like

#

The right amount of wild west

#

And established

gray umbra
#

Before people figured out the internet was the best gaslighting chamber ever

crystal forum
#

can you believe people actually thought having access to most information ever created would make people more informed instead of overloaded

crystal forum
#

turns out the whole time it wasn't a lack of access that was the problem, it's that untrained people can't tell the difference between real and fake

arctic talon
#

I love being asked insane shit

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

that's why experts exist

#

you can't know everything

dusk patrol
#

Pfft

#

Maybe you can’t

crystal forum
#

i'm not an iron hand with brain implants ok

#

not yet

#

you've got the chin of knowledge

arctic talon
#

Jokes aside the internet is a great tool

#

When it’s not being used by someone who just believe everything they read and see

I cant wait for neuralink

Boring

you know you hit the jackpot when you start dissociating with reality when you're sober

gray umbra
#

Oh i do that at work

opaque coyote
#

Essentially, if you don't know, it is a library that contains books with every word combination ever

#

Usually gibberish

#

But occasionally, it has an actual book

#

Like Monkeys' on a typewriter

#

Writing books forevermore

#

That is what the internet is

#

You can find what you want

#

But be careful on whether you find what you're looking for

#

Or gibberish

#

Either way, it is the biggest library

crystal forum
#

theoretically the library contains your date of birth and the exact way and date you will die

#

but this is philosophical bullshit which should be kicked in the shins

#

i hate having to think in a non constructive manner

plush mason
#

almost 300 years later and they still infect American culture

dusk patrol
#

I don’t think that’s a totally accurate take tbh, there’s reasons besides

#

It’s not like puritans were super cool with hyper violent stuff

crystal forum
#

how good is this guy

Well he’s basically your only option

I haven’t used him yet but I’ve heard people like him.

crystal forum

#

dusk patrol
#

This is my favorite kitbash I’ve seen for him

#

I’d personally do without the comb

#

But it works imo

crystal forum
#

funny since the helmetless version is prob one of the only exposed heads i tolerate

hallow plover
#

Housing prices is also insane

dusk patrol
#

I like how grungy he made him look

crystal forum
#

i like how thicc HH astartes are

dusk patrol
#

He’s about the same size as the MkIII models too which is nice

#

Fits in well

#

Doesn’t stand out too much

crystal forum
#

thankfully

#

means he'll fit in my mkIII army

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

also there's a typo

#

on the website

#

"reorganised survivors of Isstvan V into an effective guerrilla fighting force"

#

did he reorganize

#

or is it telling us to reorganize the survivors

#

also that's not how you spell reorganized

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

still a typo

#

in multiple ways

dusk patrol
#

It’s probably the Brit bonger way to spell it

#

Cause they’re silly

crystal forum
#

and it's not a proper sentence

#

i didnt have english classes and i know this

#

ok apparently reorganised is british

dusk patrol
#

It’s just a bullet point list

#

It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence

crystal forum
#

if you're under 15 you will DIE

#

it will KILL YOU

dusk patrol
#

Probably

#

Hopefully

rocky gale
#

Reorganised is right

arctic talon
#

Mmmmmm resin

dusk patrol
#

It’s not but it is how the Brit’s spell it

crystal forum
#

no reorganized looks fancier

rocky gale
#

Z's are not fancier than S's

#

S's are far more elegant

crystal forum
#

im sorry did you say ZED or ZEE

dusk patrol
#

Rumor has it they are

rocky gale
#

I think I say both

crystal forum
#

as a canadian i mix both

#

and i like saying colour because it looks funny

#

ArmouBLEHr of contempt is right

Petrol and diesel

crystal forum
#

i KNEW it

rocky gale
#

It's technically still Petroleum, we just shorten it to petrol

crystal forum
#

yeah and pétrol means crude oil

dusk patrol
#

Disgusting

crystal forum
#

it's not crude oil you're putting in your car

rocky gale
#

I'll put you in my car

crystal forum
#

hell petroleum is crude oil

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

i need a relevant analogy

#

it's like uh

#

calling plastic petrol

young pecan
#

I can't stop drinking crude oil

#

I can't stop

dusk patrol
#

I can

#

But I won’t

crystal forum
#

or calling literally any crude oil product petrol

#

the billions of products

rocky gale
#

Okay but the thing is Petroleum is crude oil for us and Petrol is it's refined product

crystal forum
#

no it isn't

rocky gale
#

Too bad

dusk patrol
#

You knew the one thing I do kinda like, even if it’s a huge waste of words for a faster one

#

They call sprinkles “hundreds and thousands”

rocky gale
#

That's an old thing

dusk patrol
#

Super wasteful word economy

snow fern
#

Can't you just call it gas or diesel like nothing else matters

rocky gale
#

Boomer thing

crystal forum

#

By the queen... pensive_twerk

crystal forum
#

the worst is when a word was taken from french like 500 years ago so has a completely different meaning in english

#

but they sound exactly the same

#

and there's so many of these

#

petrol like we just said

#

fuck even essence

#

it means gasoline in french

#

like???

viral halo
#

Did someone bring up the French

crystal forum
#

no not the french just their clown language

rocky gale
#

So vanilla essence is vanilla petrol?

hallow plover
#

Vanilla gasoline

crystal forum
#

which i guess gasoline is an essence of oil

#

there's also

#

i cant even say it

#

i got blocked

#

it means being late

#

and has no connection to mental faculties in french

hallow plover
#

We do use it as an insult...

#

Just add an é after

rocky gale
#

I mean that's kinda different though

crystal forum
#

so it's common for early french english learners

#

when they want to say they're late

rocky gale
#

the medical term comes from the french term because it was seen as being like "Late to develop"

crystal forum
#

they say they're r*tarded

#

i have heard this more than once

This makes me wonder if ritardando (to slow down) in music terminology also comes from French

Don't care about anglicisms

crystal forum
#

all the french colonies and belgium + switzerland crying rn

#

anyways my brain makes me very confusing to listen to for french speakers

#

like i once used the word delapidated in french

#

that is not a word

#

lapidé is a word

#

it means stoning

#

as in, throwing rocks

#

so you can lapidate something

#

but you cant delapidate

#

sorry dilapidate

#

i know this is riveting lore discussion

celest dome
#

Délapider is a word though.
Mean to spend money recklessly

crystal forum
#

it's dilapider

#

so spelt the exact same way

#

and yet

#

completely different word

#

so again not even close to what i intended which was a run down structure

celest dome
#

I'm too sleepy to do that.

crystal forum
#

wait it also meant squandering in english before

#

so it comes from latin

#

so what the fuck is it doing in english

#

i guess the correct way in french is délabré

#

which has no connection to dilapidate

#

people get degrees to study this stuff

#

insanity

Hey sidenote: when the Militarum plays "mix-n-match" between their regiments, which regiment has the "WORSE" coherency with other regiments?

young pecan
#

Kriegers are pretty stubborn in their ways so I think they would be up there in that way

arctic talon
#

Worst coherency?

#

There’s uh

young pecan
#

But they would still stick to duties

arctic talon
#

One regiment made up of nobles

crystal forum
#

thank god i didn't waste much money on an expensive resin piece

#

so apparently all forge world stuff is shit

#

alright guess i'll print then

young pecan
#

Krieg medics mercy-killing wounded people and harvesting their organs and such to use on people with better chances of survival while the other regiment looks on in horror:

crystal forum
#

and looking up threads on this i see people coping so hard about resin being for experts and shit

arctic talon

I mean

Resin is nice to work with

Not GW resin

FW Resin is the fucking worst

arctic talon

Because as the name implies

#

They’re nobles lol

crystal forum
#

krieg fucking suck to talk with

crystal forum

also cadians

arctic talon

even in 40k cadians are annoying

That’s not a fun fluff rule

but tbh they are the best the astra militarum can provide

arctic talon

That’s a dogshit fluff rule

wraith quartz

I suppose they could just not allow commissars with catachan like ethereals with farsight

arctic talon

There’s a reason GW did away

they just really like fighting for the imperium

actually they REALLY hate orks

dusk patrol

Valhallans or Vostrayans

tough haven
arctic talon

In which that case

crystal forum
#

their origin story is mostly fighting orks

#

so they're really good at it

#

they can out attrition orks

#

they're that based

dusk patrol

Vostrayan Firstborn have a pretty cool concept imo

#

Also drip

crystal forum

i might be biased

as you can tell by pfp

Do they hace a little bit of a Norse thing going on too?

#

Considering the name

no

Less reasons for people to get dogwhistle tattoos anyway

plenty of slavic mythology that GW is too much of a pussy to use

since when

rocky gale
#

Since War Crimes have been a thing

#

You can't shoot them in the air

#

You have to let them land first

crystal forum
#

that only applies for people escaping from a plane

#

you can absolutely shoot paratroopers

rocky gale

Paratroopers typically do escape from a plane

you're fighting a losing battle here

you looked it up and you realized your mistake

Not while I'm parachuting

With the Oerlikon Ahead® Air Burst Munition, a cloud of sub projectiles is thrown towards the attacking air target. A short burst of Ahead rounds produces a high density cloud of subprojectiles in front of the attacking target, so that even the smallest targets are hit by a sufficient number of subprojectiles to achieve a mission kill.

did you guys know that fully automated anti air weaponry has been available since the 90's

that shit always blows me away

arctic talon

I can belive it

dusk patrol
#

Doesn’t surprise me, considering what they shot down the SR Blackbird with

crystal forum
#

it's not very complicated machinery compared to modern systems but it's still amazing

crystal forum
#

not a single black bird has ever been shot down

dusk patrol
#

I’m thinking of a different spy plane then

crystal forum
#

you might be thinking of the U-2 incident

#

the SR71 is like

dusk patrol
#

They were getting close though which is part of why we stopped using it

crystal forum
#

so ridiculously high altitude

#

that a missile cant even reach it

dusk patrol
#

Plus satellites obviously

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

oh right anti satellite missiles are a thing

dusk patrol
#

I know there was some close calls before they finally stopped using it

#

Same thing with spy planes in general

crystal forum
#

still it served a long time before they got anywhere close

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

it's such a cool plane

dusk patrol
#

It was a wild piece of engineering

crystal forum
#

fun fact the air force actually contemplated a combat version lmao

arctic talon
#

that seems

#

impractical

crystal forum
#

yep

#

air force contemplates many things so dont assume much

#

they have a lot of money to waste

dusk patrol

One primary issue was weapons which it wouldn’t slam into as it was going forward

Probably

arctic talon

but I'm not a military expert lol

General personnel maintenance and upkeep
