You know what I’d love to see? Variations of the imperial cult and cult Mechanicus that worship less common aspects of their respective deities. Like a planet who’s faith is based around the emperor in the aspect of the savior, and is unnaturally concerned with the well being of its citizens (as in very very basic, rudimentary human rights), with the logic being that without the faithful, they have no faith, I think things like that might be more interesting to explore vs the same old zealotry

it's related to a bunch of gaming news sites republishing a discovery of a couple of engineers who found a way to increase bandwidth by an insane amount yet all it boiled down to was using the frequency bands which arent normally used in fiber optics due to having tremendous amounts of losses. what they made was just a series of optical amplifiers which obviously consume a ton of energy and degrade the shit out of the signal quality
