DON'T

[viral halo]

Love berserk

[opaque coyote]

WHY

[fallen plaza]

Not worth it

[green loom]

They're just like me fr

[opaque coyote]

NO

[celest dome]

While I mostly dislike Isekai
I really like Otome Isekai

[opaque coyote]

It did have some genuinely funny moments. But in general, it's alright

[viral halo]

My college roomate was a weeb and I used to sit there and watch shit with him when I was coming off whatever stimulant cocktail I was taking

[opaque coyote]

Fairly inoffensive

[fallen plaza]

You know what was an anime i never expected to like and was surprisingly mature in its approach?

Mysterious girlfriend x

[green loom]

I like feminist stories like world of warcraft where all the traumatized women are portrayed as horrible people and written by serial abusers
I mean what?

[viral halo]

Yo fuck My hero academia

what the fuck hapepend with that ending

[opaque coyote]

I read the Manga before the show came out

[outer wave]

Thats an old one damn

[viral halo]

deku doesnt get the girl, works at mcdonalds, and has no powers

Fucking sucks

[opaque coyote]

I watched My Hero Academia. Thought it was mid

[queen laurel]

Deku got the Siggy ending

[opaque coyote]

Honestly seeing the ending being shit made me laugh

[outer wave]

I read that after watching the first few episodes and I couldnt wait for more episodes

[viral halo]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[fallen plaza]

Shonen stuff is beneath most people

[arctic talon]

Fujimoto managing to shove this in Shonen jump still goes crazy

[opaque coyote]

Dungeon Meshi is generally pretty cool.

[queen laurel]

Is that the denji

[viral halo]

Hope none of yall are into one piece

[queen laurel]

No

[green loom]

Fun fact there was so much weird stuff in WoW that back in 2013 someone was able to make like a 60 page document about the sexism

[fallen plaza]

Heres a show that people love for some reason

[opaque coyote]

...

[outer wave]

I love how they handle the monsters as part of an ecosystem and how their lifecycles are discussed or ecological niche

[fallen plaza]

Bungo stray dogs

[queen laurel]

F****** no i don't have the life of an ancient dragon

[arctic talon]

It’s Denji after he gets ||raped|| 💀

[opaque coyote]

Welp guess I'll die then

[fallen plaza]

Ive waited for so long to say how much it sucks

[queen laurel]

Yeah fuck

[viral halo]

Only thing I like about One PIece is they got a mf named Chopper and that goes hard

dude is named after an AK

[rocky gale]

Like, MC has terrible stats, Megumin has only the most powerful explosion spell but no stamina so can only cast it once and then collapses, Darkness is a master Paladin with high strength but has 0 accuracy so can't land a single hit, then Aqua a Goddess who's powers all basically only relate to purifying water.

[queen laurel]

I don't like one piece but that gear 5 transformation is fire

[viral halo]

I gotta stop posting things that are getting taken down by the automod

[dusk patrol]

One Piece seems like a fun series which has far too much content I’ll never get into

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also Megumin is the highest leveled character, Darkness is a literal Masochist, and Aqua is literally useless

[queen laurel]

Oda himself says that the wiki is a god sent because he can forget a lot of the details

[arctic talon]

Denji literally having the worst year of his life in csm part 2 tbh

Which is saying a lot

[dusk patrol]

There is an amusing amount of authors who experience this

I know GRRM says this too

[queen laurel]

Spider-man writers and the creator of denji having a who can make their characters suffer most challenge

[opaque coyote]

It is genuinely a really good series. But the only way I even had the time to read it is due to COVID

[dusk patrol]

He used to have a superfan he would call if he forgot details

[rocky gale]

Oh yea and because of Aqua's holy aura, all undead within like a few miles radius are innately drawn towards it and will charge at her.

[fallen plaza]

As obvious as this should be, that still is very funny to me

[opaque coyote]

It is genuinely well written

The problem is that again, too fucking long

I watched the anime

[dusk patrol]

Abnett does this but instead he doesn’t call or talk to anyone and does what he wants

[opaque coyote]

That was a mistake

[celest dome]

I still think Spider Man win (or lose I guess) in this contest

[arctic talon]

At least Denji reacts in a pretty sane way to all his trauma

[green loom]

It helps that the book wiki is run by pretty good folks

[dusk patrol]

Yeah it seems fun but

Ugh wayyyy too much content

[queen laurel]

He has that going for him

[arctic talon]

Also he literally lobotomizes himself to not think about his trauma

When someone tries to use it against him

[queen laurel]

Trust me yeah he unfortunately won

[fallen plaza]

You know whats the greatest anime of all time?

[dusk patrol]

Spider-Man suffering porn is so boring

[opaque coyote]

Do yourself a favor. I know I sound like a nerd. But if you ever somehow in god's green Earth. Actually have the time.

[fallen plaza]

Ouran highschool hostclub

[opaque coyote]

Start with the Manga

[fallen plaza]

Best anime of all time

[dusk patrol]

I might

Idk

[queen laurel]

The creator of the entire marvel multiverse even came up to him and said

Yes you're suffering but you're saving people

[opaque coyote]

The One Piece Anime has so much filler

[queen laurel]

Like bro at least give him a W

[opaque coyote]

The first few arcs are actually fne

[celest dome]

Honestly has driven me away from reading Spider man issues

[arctic talon]

It has as many episodes

As chapters

[opaque coyote]

But after Alabasta, it just gets way too long

[dusk patrol]

Like fuck at least let him have MJ

[arctic talon]

[dusk patrol]

God that annoyed me

He can be kinda happy ok

[queen laurel]

Man that plot where she gets stolen by that guy on another universe because apparently she thought she got abandoned

Made me want to grab my phone and break it in half

[celest dome]

Oh right that one

[dusk patrol]

He can still have his girlfriend and maybe kids or whatever and still have it rough

[opaque coyote]

I found it more interesting when Spiderman was actually... progressing in his life? Getting a marriage, having a child, etc.

[dusk patrol]

It makes no sense he’s poor anyways

[opaque coyote]

Like

Come on that was a unique thing

But nope

[queen laurel]

Unfortunately he is the punching bag

[celest dome]

Or the one where he give away his marriage to revive an elderly woman

[opaque coyote]

Gotta make a deal with the devil to save your fucking 95+ YEAR OLD AUNT

💀

[queen laurel]

Bro it's even canon across his varianta that they have to suffer if they become spider-man

[arctic talon]

The nuclear weapons devil not existing making the USSR not collapse is fucking hilarious

[dusk patrol]

Dude is best friends with all of the richest dudes on the planet and is a super genius

[queen laurel]

What the f*** do they want to do with him

Like you become spider-man and someone in your life is going to die

[arctic talon]

Suffering

Builds

[queen laurel]

Like that is literally a canon event

[arctic talon]

Character

[dusk patrol]

Canon

[opaque coyote]

• Gav Thrope

[dusk patrol]

Event

[shell mason]

Shout out to Animal man

[opaque coyote]

Tbf, the movie's message is that Miguel is actually full of shit

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/miguel-o'hara-run-chase-crawl-fast-gif-2951267545227055562

Mfw a Spider-Man is gonna be happy

[arctic talon]

Miles mom is gona die

Instead of his dad

Mark my words

[queen laurel]

Yeah miguel is wrong in the spider-verse film though because you know canon invent already happened because of miles uncle dying

[queen laurel]

I will mark them so that when they get safe i will laugh at you instead

[arctic talon]

It’s gona be like the comics

[dusk patrol]

I am very curious to see where they go with that

[crystal forum]

suffering builds character aaa moment

[opaque coyote]

Also Spider 2099's portrayal was pretty awesome

[crisp heath]

Is deathwatch an honor or a punishment?

[celest dome]

I understand that suffering build character, but other character do show that yes the path is hard, but their hard work does give them relief in the end

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside I think Miguel has a point

[dusk patrol]

My problem was, Miguel is so fucking cool

[opaque coyote]

Especially since it has a lot of comic related things.

[arctic talon]

I think he’s genuinely correct to an extent

[celest dome]

Little bit of both, depend on the Chapter

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-spider-man-spider-verse-spider-man-2099-miguel-gif-7933341265675607024

[arctic talon]

Even if he’s a piece of shit

[crisp heath]

Fuck that doomer shit

[arctic talon]

In this depiction

[dusk patrol]

Like this shit

Holy fuck is that cool

[opaque coyote]

Like they even included the fact that Miguel doesn't have Spidey Sense

[shell mason]

of?

[arctic talon]

Miguel is sick

[queen laurel]

Yeah but does it call for slamming someone by the neck and telling them their a failure?

[opaque coyote]

Which is an awesome detail

[queen laurel]

Not so much i think

[crisp heath]

Work toward fixing things even if you know it will end poorly

[crystal forum]

titus treats it like a punishment but like only the really best space marines survive the blackwatch

[queen laurel]

He is definitely cool he is

[opaque coyote]

I'm just sad that they made Ben Riley a caricature.

[dusk patrol]

In his defense, it looked really cool when he did that

[queen laurel]

He uses physical strength to climb because he doesn't stick and he uses his clause

[crystal forum]

or deathwatch whatever

[opaque coyote]

Because his story was actually pretty interesting

[queen laurel]

And he has venom

[arctic talon]

It’s def intentional

[queen laurel]

Not the f****** symbiote but literal venom

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

He has fangs

Lol

[queen laurel]

He's more spider than actual spider

[dusk patrol]

Spider-Man 2099 is wild

[queen laurel]

Spider-man

Like he straight up the most primal i think

[opaque coyote]

I know. They have to focus more on the main story

But I'm still kinda sad by it

I like Ben Riley

...before he got revived

[dusk patrol]

I like how his vampiric tendencies were barely important

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

Miguel is correct in that you can’t save everyone, you literally can’t

[shell mason]

yee

[arctic talon]

You can try your hardest but sometimes it’s not enough

[opaque coyote]

But at the same time, it's worth trying rather than just...

letting them die

[arctic talon]

Mhm

But his point still matters

[crisp heath]

This

[arctic talon]

He crosses the line by not letting miles try

[queen laurel]

Honestly though if i'm going to have a power in marvel i would love to have this

[dusk patrol]

Miguel issues is doing so destroys everything, which may not be true but it’s why he’s so adamant about it

[queen laurel]

The anti venom symbiote

[dusk patrol]

Anti venom is so goofy but I love it

I want agent venom

[opaque coyote]

He basically made a group filled with traumatized people

[crisp heath]

https://tenor.com/view/stay-strong-you-got-this-youre-the-boss-you-rock-beat-negativity-gif-7650512615184753285

[opaque coyote]

And basically made a cult around him

[dusk patrol]

Agent venom is such a kickass idea

[gray umbra]

Symbiote is the coolest thing

Even if it gives u super cancer

[queen laurel]

It has the powers of venom and has healing abilities, yes it has a weakness but compared to the average fire and sound it's only weak to mr negatives negative energy

So i want it

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/2099-spider-man-slam-spiderverse-miles-morales-gif-27384806

[queen laurel]

Also it's not sentient

[opaque coyote]

Also Hobie was a really great character in Spiderverse

[queen laurel]

You have complete control over it

[opaque coyote]

I loved him

[queen laurel]

I love shapeshifting

[green loom]

Is that USAgent

[queen laurel]

And turning tentacles into guns

[opaque coyote]

The cancer thing was actually the symbiote lying to Brock initally

[arctic talon]

No

[dusk patrol]

No but that would be a great crossover

[opaque coyote]

But because Brock was so miserable

...

it became real basically

[queen laurel]

That was venom lying to brock

[dusk patrol]

Agent Venom is basically exactly what you think

[gray umbra]

God damn

[queen laurel]

And anti venom cured that

[opaque coyote]

And then the Symbiote LITERALLY abandoned him as soon as he actually got cancer

[queen laurel]

I love the fact that he can just absorb like rocket pods and have infinite rockets

[opaque coyote]

Eddie Brock is what I wish Peter Parker would have. Actual character development

[queen laurel]

Symbiote shape shifting is funny

[dusk patrol]

Yeah they get so overpowered

[opaque coyote]

Like he genuinely went from a villain to an anti hero in a belivable manner

[crisp heath]

I wish the writers would be nice to spider man

[dusk patrol]

God I’m so mad still what they did with Carnage

[opaque coyote]

Also the 90's spiderman show was goated

[dusk patrol]

Literally the point of Carnage is him and Cassidy as so perfectly in sync they are one

[queen laurel]

Thing is though i don't stick with them, like i would love to have one but if i'm going with a symbiote i may as will get anti venom, can't have something whispering and talking to me 24/7

[opaque coyote]

Too bad it never got a good ending

[queen laurel]

And the weakness to fire and sound

[dusk patrol]

There’s no them it’s a single person

[arctic talon]

I think fujimoto maybe doesn’t like the Japanese government

Just a hunch

[queen laurel]

Yeah i think that

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I am scared of getting a Symbiote since current lore basically has it so that they take the good and bad parts of your personality

The problem is that they also exaggerate your bad parts

[dusk patrol]

Just gotta get a nicer symbiote

[opaque coyote]

Because a Symbiote is like a child

[queen laurel]

That's why i go with anti venom if i have the choice to be completely safe because it doesn't have a personality and you have complete control over it

[opaque coyote]

That taps directly into your brain

[dusk patrol]

Unironically it would be kinda cool to have someone to talk to all the time

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

Problem is feeding the damn bastards

[opaque coyote]

Honestly yeah it would be cool

[queen laurel]

They need a special f****** formula that you can only find in brains and chocolate

[opaque coyote]

They literally eat brains

[green loom]

Just develop multiple personalities

[opaque coyote]

Imagine Eddie Brock robbing a Candy Store

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-why-im-here-obi-wan-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-gif-18535648

[arctic talon]

Give it a nibble of a prefrontal cortex

It’ll be fine

[opaque coyote]

"WE NEED ALL THE CHOCOLATE YOU CAN FIND. NOW."

[queen laurel]

They eat phenethylamine

[dusk patrol]

He does do this at least once

[arctic talon]

The brain and chocolate diet

[queen laurel]

Which is found very abundantly on brains and chocolate

In certain fungus

[green loom]

I've had no meaningful interactions in years and I've developed like an "audience"

[queen laurel]

I don't know how many chocolates i need to feed the bastards but i don't want to try

Certainly won't find any criminals soon

[celest dome]

One day we will have Vampire/WoD games aren't text based and are good

[green loom]

I'm exaggerating but I'm stir crazy a lot

[gray umbra]

Bro i am still waiting on vtmb2

[dusk patrol]

Somehow I think it would be harder to find a bunch of morally awful bad guys within a decent timeframe and also not get caught murdering them all like it is in the movie

[queen laurel]

Symbiotes can turn invisible so i have my chances but i feel like them finding decapitated bodies is going to not help me

Maybe just eat the whole damn thing

[dusk patrol]

Vast quantifies of chocolate seems easier to explain too

[queen laurel]

Yeah just tell them that you have a sweet tooth

They also feed on your adrenaline apparently

[gray umbra]

What about my hopes and dreams

[queen laurel]

So getting yourself In dangerous situations should be helpful as well

[dusk patrol]

Lucky for me I get adrenaline from watching a good movie

[dusk patrol]

They don’t feed on things which are fake

[gray umbra]

[dusk patrol]

Unironically I’d be a terrible host, idk what I’d even aspire to do with that kinda power

[opaque coyote]

I wonder if Symbiotes can eat anything with chocolate or Cocoa in general

Like does coffee work?

Hot chocolate?

[arctic talon]

Idk have friend

[dusk patrol]

It’s chocolate in general iirc

[gray umbra]

Idk what good would come from a super parasite and blade arms n shit

[arctic talon]

Chocolate in any form should work

[dusk patrol]

In some comics they basically make a paste or whatever for them to consume

[queen laurel]

Most of the time symbiotes just want perfect symbiosis and just live in peace or something

[dusk patrol]

Honestly it’s not a huge rock block

[gray umbra]

Self defense maybe, protection when doing stupid shit

[dusk patrol]

Yeah venom is kinda a little shit

[queen laurel]

Yeah he bonded with spider-man and deadpool

He is going to have some issues in the head

[opaque coyote]

Originally, the reason why Peter threw away the symbiote wasn't because of it corrupting him.

He basically just found it terrifying that it used his body while asleep. It also made him tired.

So he decided to get it off

[gray umbra]

But hard to explain to a cop why this mugger no longer has limbs

"Skill issue"

[queen laurel]

And also a murderous alien

[opaque coyote]

Later adaptations would actually add that the Symbiote adapts the Host's flaws and exaggerates it

[queen laurel]

If a symbiote bonds with you

He will be pretty adapted to your personality

And you two can get along i'm pretty sure

[gray umbra]

Wait what if youre perpetually lazy

Is the symbiote also a couch potato

[dusk patrol]

This symbiote is gonna become one helluva electrician

[opaque coyote]

Symbiote helps you get the soda

[dusk patrol]

That would be a hilarious comic

[opaque coyote]

Venom literally just becoming high

[dusk patrol]

Some blue collar worker getting a symbiote and it just becomes really good at like roofing

[opaque coyote]

"WE NEED MUNCHIES"

opens a bag of toblerones

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I'm just wondering how you'd explain to the symbiote what privacy is

[gray umbra]

Actually though

[opaque coyote]

"Okay listen. When I sleep. Don't look into my mind."

[gray umbra]

Bob the symbiote

[opaque coyote]

Like imagine if you want to do something private

[queen laurel]

If we're talking about like symbiotic living organisms or technology though i would also like to get my hands on a scarab beetle

[opaque coyote]

You have to get the symbiote off somehow

[queen laurel]

But i would probably prefer this less

[dusk patrol]

The Beetle is pretty dope

[queen laurel]

They aren't exactly friendly compared to symbiotes

[dusk patrol]

Also kid friendly

[opaque coyote]

Considering it's purpose is to invade

I probably wouldn't want to get mind hijacked by aliens

[queen laurel]

That's why i said i prefer it less

It's a lot more dangerous compared to the symbiotes

[dusk patrol]

I can’t even remember why does Blue Beetles not do that with him?

Is it broken or something

[queen laurel]

I think the one he got was defective yeah

[opaque coyote]

I think it was defective

[queen laurel]

It's violent but most of the time you can reason with it

[opaque coyote]

"I WANT BLOOD. TO RIP THE ENTRAILS OFF OF OUR ENEMI-"

"Have you ever tried pizza?"

"..."

"Come on, it must taste better than blood."

"Fine... I will try this... Pee-zzaas"

[gray umbra]

I cant think of any fictional parasite that actually empowers the host other than like the spiderman symbiotes or blue beetle

Do daemon swords count

Frostmourne

Idk

[opaque coyote]

Tbf Symbiotes aren't actually parasites

I mean it's in the name

[queen laurel]

Going back to anime there's parasyte but you wouldn't want that

[arctic talon]

If we aren’t talking literal parasites the devil hybrids in chainsaw man

Though that’s more so your heart being replaced

[gray umbra]

Yeah not literal parasites

[dusk patrol]

Parascyte is a very interesting series

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah there is also the black light virus

If you're lucky

[opaque coyote]

There was a girl who literally embodied the fear of knowing everything

So of course she got the knowledge of everything

[queen laurel]

It isn't alive but you have complete control of your biology

[dusk patrol]

“Lucky”

[opaque coyote]

And now she can only say "Halloween"

[arctic talon]

Cosmo is a fiend

Not a devil Hybrid

Fiends are weakened devils who take over dead bodies

[opaque coyote]

Ah

[arctic talon]

A devil hybrid has the host still alive

[dusk patrol]

Prototype was a wild game series

[opaque coyote]

Still tho that is a disturbing idea

[gray umbra]

Oh yeah i forgot about prototype

[arctic talon]

And they don’t exhibit traits of the devil outwardly

Until they activate

[queen laurel]

Technically having a hulk personality can count but i think it's only really apparent with banner

[opaque coyote]

Like literally getting so overflowed with knowledge that you basically only say one word

[queen laurel]

And i'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to deal with a giant raging green monster

[dusk patrol]

Yeah Banner it’s more he’s

Got some huge trauma from his childhood

Which manifested from the gamma radiation

[queen laurel]

Yeah he also has multiple split personalities like joe fixit

[rocky gale]

Oh hey, apparently there was a Prototype/Infamous crossover game in development that got cancelled in order to fund Concord.

[dusk patrol]

True

[opaque coyote]

Pain

[queen laurel]

I will tear down the entire world

[gray umbra]

What is concord

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/concord-sony-it-z-gif-4305971096299954212

This

[opaque coyote]

Literally the worst timeline

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's so cold hero shooter that's like very very very very very woke apparently i don't f****** know

[raven stone]

Concord did create a concord…for how bad the game is lol

[queen laurel]

I don't care about it

[opaque coyote]

That design actually isn't too bad

[rocky gale]

It's one of the better designs tbh

[celest dome]

Honesty look like something from Guardian of the galaxy

[arctic talon]

my favorite devil hybrid activation method is either the bomb hybrids or crossbow hybrids tbh

[raven stone]

The real issue is “not being too bad” is the best design there is in the entire game…

[opaque coyote]

Bootleg Pharah is the shittiest

[arctic talon]

Bomb hybrid pulls a "pin" on their neck and their head explodes

[raven stone]

That’s the other issue. Everyone could tell it was Guardian of the Galaxy with serial numbers filed off…

[queen laurel]

What's the power of the terrorist devil again

[rocky gale]

Yep, the game really does feel like it was trying hard to rip off Guardians

[arctic talon]

and crossbow hybrid pulls a crossbow bolt out their eye

[queen laurel]

Because chainsaw devil like erases anything he eats

[opaque coyote]

Basically generally the reason why it bombed is simply because

The gameplay was generic and it had like zero style

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/concord-lennox-shooter-alien-scifi-gif-4555792696943972423

[opaque coyote]

It was boring

[rocky gale]

Like this guy

[arctic talon]

Just normal bomb stuff

[rocky gale]

That's Starlord, but painted Green

[arctic talon]

Chainsaw devil is weird

pochita is odd

[queen laurel]

So exploding got it

[queen laurel]

I really expected his power to be like super cutting

[raven stone]

Supposed Woke politics is the least of Concord’s issues.

[queen laurel]

Not erasing concepts and the f******laws of universe

[arctic talon]

whip hybrid prolly has the least notable like transformation

just snap your fuckin fingers

[queen laurel]

Does gun devil make you transform by putting a shotgun on your mouth

[arctic talon]

idfk

prolly by pulling a trigger

[queen laurel]

I will take it

[arctic talon]

flamethrower hybrid transforms by pressing down a molar

[rocky gale]

Yea woke is just the buzzword idiots use, the real issue is it's gameplay wasn't great or anything new, , there's only like two maps, the UI is awful, the character designs are lazy and mediocre at best and it tried to complete in an oversaturated gaming market where the standard is free to play and expected people to pay $49 for it.

[opaque coyote]

It was boring

[arctic talon]

the designs are just bad

[queen laurel]

The is sony released astrobots and used the main character of f****** infamous

[opaque coyote]

Arguably worse than being a trainwreck like 76 or Redfall

Cause at least both of those were funny in how shit they were

[dusk patrol]

Concord had a lot of issues yeah

[rocky gale]

I saw a video review someone did and the thing that stuck out to me is they said "I don't know how they've done it, but they've somehow made every character in the game feel underpowered"

[queen laurel]

Like they know they have this old ips but they just go

[dusk patrol]

It was a super bland aesthetic and concept which was overdone and didn’t bring anything new

[queen laurel]

You have a trove of collection of gaming ips use them

[outer wave]

https://tenor.com/view/gwimbly-smiling-friends-gwimbly-gun-gif-14385041144818393966

[raven stone]

Nah, they will just end up trashing them.

[dusk patrol]

And new it’s getting a secret level short lol

After it was turned off

[raven stone]

Wut

[arctic talon]

ye

[dusk patrol]

It’s one of the games in there

[storm jungle]

As long as its good idc admittedly

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

It’s Blur so it’ll be pretty

[storm jungle]

its my same relationship with League

awful IP, awful game

but the animation is PEAK

[crystal forum]

the best way to change the general opinion of a game is to make a good movie or series

[dusk patrol]

I used to like the game but yeah

[arctic talon]

the loreis good fuck ou

I will shank you

🔪

[storm jungle]

Everyone did in its earlier days tbh so no shame there

[crystal forum]

case in point: cyberpunk

[storm jungle]

I DIDNT SAY THE LORE IS BAD

[arctic talon]

I still like League

YOU SAID THE IP WAS BAD

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[arctic talon]

THAT INCLUDES THE LORE

[queen laurel]

Well he ain't wrong

[arctic talon]

I'm not sure if I'm stockholme syndromed

[dusk patrol]

I’m talking Apex I’m not some dork who played a MOBA ever hahahaha

[arctic talon]

or if its the only MOBA I like

[dusk patrol]

Losers

[storm jungle]

I remembe rwhen it first came out and i legit got tired of people overhyping the shit out of it

and im like

"Fine, ill watch the first 5 episodes"

[dusk patrol]

(I played Dota 2 a bit)

[storm jungle]

then i was broken

💀

[rocky gale]

It's so good

[queen laurel]

You interact with us so you lower you lower yourself enough to interact with losers i guess

[rocky gale]

It deserves all the hype

True tbh

[crystal forum]

i used to hand out with a group of league players in highschool and they treated me like shit constantly

[arctic talon]

I like how Ambessa wears gold

because she's "older" noxian nobility

[storm jungle]

Ambessa is peak female character design

[arctic talon]

When gold is like

[storm jungle]

and not just for the bath scene

[arctic talon]

not popular at all in noxus

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Gold is like the least popular precious metal

because its soft and weak

[rocky gale]

I badgered one of my friends to watch it for ages and then when she finally did her reaction was "It's alright, not a fan of all the music though. Didn't feel like it fit" and I almost died

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

i was the weird kid who played games like civ 5

[storm jungle]

Love that animation for the shit mobile game where uh

Darius melts that golden crown in a pot

its so fucking good

[storm jungle]

LMAO

one of the most "LETS FUCKIGN GOOOO" moments in the show

[arctic talon]

also I'm excited for Fortiche's own project

tbh

[storm jungle]

including the child murder

stupid fucking kid

[arctic talon]

mfw the factory is laid out like a MOBA map

there's 3 fucking lanes

[hallow plover]

I was a Brood War fiend

[queen laurel]

https://youtu.be/OkscEokV238?si=_piGISNLIkyMxIKp so you're telling me your friend straight up watch this and called it mid

[dusk patrol]

I never noticed that

[arctic talon]

yeah

its pretty funny

[storm jungle]

the best part is it was 100% intentional

[rocky gale]

Like the scenes and the music are literally crafted for eachother to be perfect complements

[storm jungle]

the amount of artistic care that goes into almost every scene in the show is crazy

[arctic talon]

I cannot belive imagine dragons is fucking canon

[storm jungle]

like i legit dont understand how they could do this

[arctic talon]

LOL

[storm jungle]

LOL

SHUT UP

[arctic talon]

because fortiche

[gray umbra]

The esports music is my only gripe lol

[arctic talon]

and also money

$$$$$$$$$

[storm jungle]

also my favorite thing about the show was uh

[rocky gale]

Speaking of, have yous seen the music video for that Imagine Dragons song, it's got extra scenes in it

[arctic talon]

Also having tons of pre existing lore to work with

[storm jungle]

when it came out 40k fans were like "we are never gonna get a underhive show like this and i hate it"

[arctic talon]

is useful

[queen laurel]

Them korean popstar skins fuel the riot industry

[storm jungle]

GOD

fuck kpop

i knew i was right in hating it when i discovered what "slave contracts" are

💀

[arctic talon]

None of the Regions will have any sort of pop music except for Piltover lol

(hell)

[storm jungle]

You're a snakeYou're a snakeYou're a snake
You're a snakeYou're a snakeYou're a snake

[arctic talon]

ngl

[rocky gale]

Like unique scenes only for the music video that are also considered "canon" apparently
https://youtu.be/D9G1VOjN_84

[arctic talon]

PnZ are prolly my least favorite regions

I don't dislike them

[storm jungle]

Amazing video ruined by some dude's rap segment, love the one where the fans edited it out LMAO

[arctic talon]

I just prefer other ones

[arctic talon]

[rocky gale]

Wut

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

[rocky gale]

J.I.D's segment is so good

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Give me noxus animated show Riot and my life is yours

Noxus is prolly the most fleshed out region by far

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah what's the largest capital city in runterra

[arctic talon]

Noxus Prime

not even close

[queen laurel]

They're just that much egotistical that they need to also have the largest city

Of course they do

[arctic talon]

Its huge because

[storm jungle]

basically its like the fashion industry a bit, the managers/bosses basically control every aspect of your life an dyou cant leave or "quit" the band until a certain amount of time aka literal years in some cases.

South Korea is legit one of the most dystopian countries in existence under the surface.

[arctic talon]

its built on top of itself

4 fucking times

Along with expanding outwards

[queen laurel]

Damn

[arctic talon]

Noxus is built on the bones of dead empires

[storm jungle]

Symbolism.............

[arctic talon]

Also literal bones

[queen laurel]

Do you think they will hire iron jaws

[green loom]

And whatever was left attacked that citadel

[storm jungle]

now they wanna also eradicate furries too 💀

[arctic talon]

there's a mountain of fucking skeletons

in Noxus's capitol lol

[rocky gale]

The scene after the rap segment with adult Jinx where "Spare the sympathy" and syncs with her eyes changing colour, muhhhhhhh

[arctic talon]

everyone is too scared to fucking touch it

[opaque coyote]

South Korea is literally just Cyberpunk 2077

[arctic talon]

its mordekaisers mountain of corpses

[storm jungle]

Literally

[green loom]

Thank you subtly named Mordekaiser

[arctic talon]

Everyone is terrified of it

[storm jungle]

theres a reason their birthrates are going down

its insane

any korean that leaves the country does a graet favor to their children

[opaque coyote]

Except there's not even any cool technology to go insane with

[hallow plover]

This is some weyland-yutani shit lol. We truly live in the future (wrong timeline)

[gray umbra]

Dont worry us is getting there

[arctic talon]

Noxus doesn't do mercenaries who are not Noxian

[queen laurel]

South and north korea being part of the same coin but both evil

[storm jungle]

Yep. Its the "realistic" kind of dystopia, none of the "fun" just simply crushing the soul.

[opaque coyote]

If we're gonna become Cyberpunk 2077, at least give us Mantis Blades

[arctic talon]

Noxus is like

nationalist as hell

[queen laurel]

Really?

So samira actually works for them

[storm jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahl1lexWxbM&pp=ygUVU09VVEggS09SRUEgQ1lCRVJQVU5L

[arctic talon]

Samira is Noxian

[gray umbra]

Wait until every facet of your life is owned by private equity indirectly

[arctic talon]

she isn't a Shuriman

[opaque coyote]

What happened to South Korea in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe anyways

[storm jungle]

nothing

[queen laurel]

Nothing still the same

[arctic talon]

she may be from Shurima but she speaks Va-Nox

[storm jungle]

they unified tho

which is based

[arctic talon]

she uses noxian armor and weapons

[storm jungle]

fuck north korea lol

[queen laurel]

I thought she's like a hired person

[arctic talon]

she is culturally noxian

[queen laurel]

Like she gets paid to do this stuff

[opaque coyote]

North Korea should be gone

[queen laurel]

Like a mercenary

[arctic talon]

She was part of the Trifarian Legion originally

she's "retired"

[storm jungle]

Its more or less gonna be soon. Its basically dying out, all their lifeline is China and Russia lol

[opaque coyote]

But unfortunately China wants a border state between western influence

[rocky gale]

Damnit, guess I'll rewatch Arcane again after I'm finished with Gokudolls

[opaque coyote]

However North Korea is quickly getting too bitchy even for that

And their relationship with China is getting worse

[queen laurel]

All right that's like the third country i've heard about that's asian in his losing more people because of their declining birth rate

[storm jungle]

Yep.

Like i said they wont last lol

you can only leash a country in this day and age for so long

[arctic talon]

she is a mercenary but she is a Noxian mercenary

being Noxian matters

[opaque coyote]

For China, it's mainly because of the one child policy

[outer wave]

I feel awful for NKers that just wanna live and be left alone

[arctic talon]

One child policy is dead

[outer wave]

^

[opaque coyote]

Ik

[outer wave]

Thats been gone for a while

[opaque coyote]

It's effects however

Are long lasting

[arctic talon]

yeah

[queen laurel]

I think with japan it's also their culture and stuff

[opaque coyote]

Even long after it's gone

[arctic talon]

a lot of sons

[opaque coyote]

Japan is just xenophobic

[queen laurel]

So there's japan korea and china

[opaque coyote]

And Korea is miserable

So

[queen laurel]

They also have a lot of laws that like very much favor elderly so there's that

[outer wave]

Workaholic lifestyle and what women want from men and vice versa are disconnected

[opaque coyote]

Also working there is hell

[queen laurel]

Yep it is incredibly depressing

[arctic talon]

The young do not like the old

in Japan

at all

or most east asian countries

[outer wave]

Its awful in general

[arctic talon]

its like a fucked up parasitic relationship

in a lot of families

[opaque coyote]

I remember a story in Japan that is literally just a woman that scams lonely men out of their money

So that she can go to a brothel and get scammed out her money by men

[arctic talon]

sounds about right

[outer wave]

Is it the whole "You must respect what the eldars say!" and all they do is just berate the younger generation?

[outer wave]

Jesus

[gray umbra]

Japan is a great place to visit but would not want to live there

[arctic talon]

No

you're expected to support your parents

[opaque coyote]

Yeah she got thousands

Spent it all to fulfill her own personal loneliness

[arctic talon]

and your grand parents

forever

[outer wave]

Yeeesh

[queen laurel]

They also like use a lot of traditional stuff

[arctic talon]

Also laws are in favor

of the Old generally

[brisk agate]

It's like the same as anywhere else truthfully
It's alot worse being a women in japan being of creepy uncles

[opaque coyote]

It's an Asian thing in general.

China and Korea have the same expectation

[arctic talon]

the young feel disenfranchised

[queen laurel]

Like making ink sticks

[arctic talon]

mhm

[queen laurel]

Like they are using some ancient methods to make those

They are very attached to tradition

[arctic talon]

the government in Japan doesn't give a shit about the young

because its all old people

its less so in Korea and China

but in Korea

its uh

[opaque coyote]

Well if there is one benefit

At least they aren't doing shit like Banzai charges

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/cyber-logo-glitch-cyberpunk-gif-17862314

[arctic talon]

[queen laurel]

I love being blamed for killing the leader of arasaka even though i didn't do s***

[queen laurel]

What country where politics isn't a shit show

[gray umbra]

The imperium of manki

Oh wait

[queen laurel]

I'm filipino and i will admit even here philippine politics aren't any better

[opaque coyote]

Tbf in that situation. You and Jackie were literally in the room.

Yorinobu was actually surprised lmao

And then was like

"...Uhhh yeah they assassinated him. Totally part of my plan."

Like the Job was already shit

[queen laurel]

You would think the advanced cybernetics the so-called guard of the royal family would notice the choke marks but no

[opaque coyote]

But we somehow managed to get the actual worst possible outcome

[queen laurel]

I had to be blamed for it

[opaque coyote]

Tbf Saburo was so old that the wrinkles probably hid it

[gray umbra]

Jackie wouldnt have needed to die if he kept the chip in

[queen laurel]

He was bleeding out from gunshot wounds

[opaque coyote]

He was shot multiple times.

The chip only heals the brain

[queen laurel]

He wasn't going to make it

[gray umbra]

Dw johnny silverhand gotchu

Believe in the reeves

[opaque coyote]

Would be funny to see Silver hand Jackie tho

[queen laurel]

That it is

[opaque coyote]

Also Jackie made me wish that Dual wielding was a thing in 2077

SMGs are actually kinda dogshit in 2077 tbh

Which I mean lore accurate

But also it kinda sucks that an entire weapon class sucks

[arctic talon]

Smart smgs

Are good

The kang tao one

[brisk agate]

Itssss complicated

[opaque coyote]

So I thought that you should be able to dual wield pistols and smgs

[arctic talon]

When is it not

[brisk agate]

It's because it's the whole Family will always support you™️

[opaque coyote]

At the cost of a second weapon slot. You can use two pistols

/smgs

[brisk agate]

unless you're sticking out

[queen laurel]

Get me a power revolver and a power shotgun anytime of the day

[brisk agate]

I'm Asian too my friiend

[opaque coyote]

I also thought you should be able to combine some cyber ware

Like imagine having Gorilla arms and Monowire for example

[queen laurel]

And i'm going to crack open so many skulls

[opaque coyote]

Or like combining the two

Like imagine a Gorilla Mantis combo

[arctic talon]

Didn’t say you aren’t

[opaque coyote]

Come on, wouldn't bladed punches be cool?

[brisk agate]

I know that it is complicated

[opaque coyote]

Like Wolverine

[brisk agate]

I mean I know

[arctic talon]

Guh

Nevermind

[brisk agate]

You just said it isn't complicated as someone who's

[arctic talon]

Did I?

[brisk agate]

Oh sorry you said when it's not

It can be yeah sure

It can be simple

[arctic talon]

My brain is too cooked for this

I need caffeine

[opaque coyote]

It's supposed to be a "fair" thing basically

Parents take care of you when you were weak

You take care of them when they are weak

[gray umbra]

The kenshin is the coolest pistol ever, i just wish it wasnt burst fire

[opaque coyote]

And of course

[arctic talon]

My parents and grandparents take care of me

So I can’t complain

Tbh

[opaque coyote]

I would support them in a heartbeat

[queen laurel]

Family is a good one man

[opaque coyote]

Like if my dad got drunk, I would probably drive him home

[tough haven]

Sounds like a little bit like the US, US cares a little more, but anyone with any power or influence to change things is above the age of 40 so the status quo can continue

[opaque coyote]

At the same time though.

Not everyone has a good family

[tough haven]

And the young are not doing well in the US

[opaque coyote]

And yet you're expected to take care of them

Even if they were abusive

When you'd much rather shove them off a cliff when they're in a wheelchair

In short

It's complicated

[tough haven]

Yeah I understand supporting your family, but support and respect is a two way street, at a certain point it’s not support, it’s manipulation/abuse

[opaque coyote]

"Every generation gets problems that are entirely unique to them"

WHEN WILL WE GET A GENERATION WHERE WE JUST HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE PREVIOUS ONE

[brisk agate]

Well and to be fair japan is rooted in keeping with the status quo

[opaque coyote]

[brisk agate]

Political leadership roles are people

Have people who have been clawing their way ul for YEARS

To get power and remain the status quo

[arctic talon]

I’m half Japanese half Taiwanese funny combo tbh

[opaque coyote]

Basically this

[arctic talon]

Yep

[opaque coyote]

Ah yes

So that means I will be racist towards you

[tough haven]

Every problem just gets shoved to the younger generation because “eh it doesn’t effect me yet and I’ll die before it’s a serious problem” is the mindset of most people in power

[arctic talon]

[opaque coyote]

This is why we need longer lifespans

[queen laurel]

Taipanese

I should write a word document of nicknames i have given to people here

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside. My dad's friends literally celebrated when Japan got that huge Tsunami back in

2011? I think.

They're all chinese

[tough haven]

No this is why we need to make political seats have term limits or make them decided by deathbattle, so most of the extremely elderly get rooted out

[opaque coyote]

When my dad told me this

I have found it

Disturbing tbh

[gray umbra]

Hell no. It only makes the mitch mcconnell being a power lich meme even more apparent

[tough haven]

Who’s bright idea was it to have no term limits

[arctic talon]

💀 it is what it is

[spring cairn]

I agree with this but just for me

i should live forever tbh

[gray umbra]

[opaque coyote]

[spring cairn]

no just for me

[opaque coyote]

Nah

[spring cairn]

sorry

[arctic talon]

Both sides of my family get along well, except for my grandparents

In which that case

Uh

[gray umbra]

Share some of that immortality pal

[queen laurel]

Wolf does that mean that you want the muramasa of jetstream sam from mgr

[spring cairn]

i eated it all

[opaque coyote]

You have infinite life

Give some

[arctic talon]

No

[queen laurel]

All right i will take it then

[opaque coyote]

My parents and grandparents get along well

My best friend's parents are shit

And they also have a half sister

...

Said half sister is constantly on drugs, homeless, and are basically a parasite

I can't possibly guess why

SARCASM

There needs to be a parent test or something I swear

Well okay TO BE FAIIR,
Japan has a unique issue is that it is rooted in maintaining the status quo, it is also cultural concerns on how places operate because I mean the complex issue is,
Who's in power, old people, who makes changes due to societal pressure, old people.
Least that's how it happened in the US

[snow fern]

I’m not going to forgive boomers for putting climate change on us. It’s been known about since the 70s, and those pricks will be dead before the worst of it

Should I try Total War: Warhammer

Or HOI4

[viral halo]

Try Hoi4 and you'll never have a meaningful interaction with a sexual partner the rest of your life

And also develop a hatred for marginalized communities

[arctic talon]

I have known only a single person who’s played HOI4 and is in a relationship

[rocky gale]

The HOI IV modding experience, every major mod has two competing versions one is made by transphobes, the other is made by trans people, you will be judged based off which version you prefer.

[gray umbra]

Stellaris went from me feeling sad whenever i lost battles to going full hive mind and eating every civilization in my way

10 out of 10

[snow fern]

My biggest problems with Stellaris are the GenAI content, and war fatigue,
If I conquer every planet in the system in totality, I did not “lose” despite what the game says

[arctic talon]

Me kidnapping people to feed into the synaptic lathe

Liquidating a planets population in the middle of war is funny

[wintry scarab]

It just hit me how depressing it is that darktide has no campaign.

[crisp heath]

i was there

[storm jungle]

It doesnt really need one and never was gonna have one.

you are again under the spell of SM2

Horde shooters dont really work with a set-in-stone plot unless you want something simple and basic like L4D.

[wintry scarab]

I think space marine just reminded me of how good darktide could have been.

[storm jungle]

Eh, its still good tbh.

A good campaign is good but passes away like a chocolate bar you ate.

its better to pad it out with more maps/content than just dropping it in the player's lap and have it be an ongoing thing.

[viral halo]

Darktide slaps

The gunplay is like heroin

I feel the guns kick in my hand irl

gives me a chub

[wintry scarab]

I mean yeah im not saying its bad. Ive got 500 hours in it. Just a massive missed opportunity. Especially as so much of it is so good yet so much of it is so bad.

[storm jungle]

Still the better decision imo.

Ours has nothing to do with spectacle or big wars. While Titus is fighting greater daemons and chaos marines we are in the shitridden underbelly of the Imperium

also Sabre has like 2000 employees, so no wonder the story is a sparkly lightshow.

FS barely has like 150, you can only do so much

[wintry scarab]

Its not even the spectacle thing. Its just sad that time was wasted on things like those dumb lvl 1-30 cutscenes when we could have had something else.

[dusk patrol]

It’s how it goes, I agreed they dropped the ball especially compared to VT2s narrative but I still enjoy it.

[storm jungle]

Because the cutscenes are not even the main story.

Again, i got no idea why people were expecting some massive campaign.

even the Abnett blog was more just "yeah hes writing some of the stuff in there"

[outer wave]

Are we sure they're still around 180 employees? With Darktide having probably made alot of bank and with how they wanna expand support to it and VT2, you'd think their team would expand even a bit.

[storm jungle]

No idea, they are still pretty small

also entirely stretched across like 3 games

darktide has people working on it in double digits since its launch, and prob pre-production

and even half of that double-digits is people that actually do the game stuff

[dusk patrol]

Worth noting Saber St Petersburg made Space Marine 2 not Saber as a whole. Saber as a whole has about 1000 employees but it was just one studio which made SM2

[storm jungle]

Still a very big team is my point.

Fatshark barely has any of those numbers, its one of the reasons why their games come out so badly along with extremely obvious and cringe studio interuptions.

buggy launch with bad content my beloved

[dusk patrol]

Maybe idk how big their St Petersburg division is, but I still think they dropped the ball with the story for Darktide, especially with what we’ve seen them do with VT2

[outer wave]

I think they shouldnt have made levelling a story beat tbh

[wintry scarab]

And price as well. The game imo was way too expensive for what we got. Especially with how they went about with mtx. (Im still super pissed off how they are handling mtx to this day.)

[dusk patrol]

It’s gotten better and that’s good but largely they release games which are super unpolished and it takes a year or so to get good

[crystal forum]

i had my money's worth

[dusk patrol]

I’m happy with it but I was also always gonna be happy with like, a good enough 40k product

[storm jungle]

Agreed yeah

like the game was always gonna be progressing plot wise with updates

the level up cutscenes should have at least had no traitor subplot lol

[outer wave]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

still tho we wouldnt have gotten memes

its become integrated to the game's history now lmao

[outer wave]

It is a funny nod that no amount of work will ever be satisfactory throughout your leveling/trust plotline

[wintry scarab]

Pretty sure we all did considering we are chatting in this server lol. Im just saying it could have been so much greater.

[crystal forum]

rogue trader was like the only 40k game to actually impress me

[storm jungle]

Rogue Trader is legit great

even with the bug-ass launch

one of the msot fun narrative 40k experiences i had in a long time

[crystal forum]

the only issues i have with it are minor compared to other things

[wintry scarab]

God, rogue trader was really fun. I just hate how much god damn reading you have to do. Its like constant bibles over and over again.

[storm jungle]

TO BE FAIR, it is a CRPG

also 40k and politics go hand-in-hand

[scenic bolt]

it'd have been hailed as one of the greatest crpgs of all time outside the 40k community if it hadnt had come out so close to BG3

[dusk patrol]

I’ve been very happy with most recent 40k games

[storm jungle]

we are eating good

[tough haven]

Me too, they’ve been hitting the nail on the head

[storm jungle]

and as someone here said awhile ago these games should co-exist

the comparisons are not needed, they are all here to scratch different itches

[tough haven]

And since they are good, it brings more outsiders into 40K

[scenic bolt]

aos needs some good games

[storm jungle]

one day lol

i dont trust anyone to really get it done

[scenic bolt]

aos is too good to languish with bad games

[wintry scarab]

Dont they have that something of war game. Im pretty sure its like a huge game.

[scenic bolt]

that dawn of war light

[wintry scarab]

yeah, that

[scenic bolt]

it didnt sell well and wasnt good

[wintry scarab]

oh lol

[scenic bolt]

like think dawn of war but made for mobile

it legit was actually made for useability on touch screen devices as a primary design feature so all the rts mechanics were dumbed down to accomadate but not in a good way like halo wars

[wintry scarab]

What was it actually called? Im trying to find it but idk what its called

[scenic bolt]

realm of ruin I think

[wintry scarab]

No, i was thinking of total war 3

[scenic bolt]

oh the total wars, thats different thats set in warhammer fantasy not age of sigmar

[wintry scarab]

Oh, thats the one that had like 30 players at launch lol

[scenic bolt]

yea the total wars are good though

[wintry scarab]

Oh. Idk fantasy. Its all confusing to me, theres so many of them.

But from what ive seen from Aos it just looks kinda bad. Like i hate the vibe of the stormcast.

[storm jungle]

Stormcast are great

you just need the right presentation for them

they are more or less just more morally grey paladins, they got evil actions here and there but they arent full on fascists (mostly) since their god is actually a pretty good guy

Sugmah....

[snow fern]

Sigmar seems pretty chill

for a barbarian

[storm jungle]

sigmar is basically a barbarian himbo trying to do his best

he sometimes fucks up but owes up to the shit he does

[viral halo]

He's so fine

[storm jungle]

his followers are uh

yeah thats a different thing

[viral halo]

I am desperate for a good Age of Sigmar game

[storm jungle]

[viral halo]

Please somebody make an age of sigmar game that's good

[snow fern]

Ah yes the Empire of Man, totally sane

[viral halo]

PLEASE

[storm jungle]

its even worse in AOS

now they got like even more cults

[snow fern]

Something something summon the elector counts

[storm jungle]

like peasants who are obsessed with getting hit by lightning bolts

[wintry scarab]

Considering im like a full space marine dick rider and stormcast are supposed to be the fantasy space marines, idk. If i was to paint/play fantasy, they would be my last choice.

[scenic bolt]

sigmar actually saving the lives of his people unlike the emperor more trying to save his empire

[storm jungle]

They arent really suppose to be space marines

they are suppose to be Order chaos warriors

[viral halo]

Stormcast are so fucking cool

especially the recent designs

[snow fern]

yah, stormcast are their own thing, but it totally feels like they're trying to get space marine fans into fantasy

[storm jungle]

^

its like before AOS

people kept saying chaos warriors are just chaos marines

[scenic bolt]

sigmarines for a reason

[viral halo]

Chaos warriors are extremely barbaric and awesome in AoS too barring archaon's weirdos who are like pragmatists

[scenic bolt]

aos has sea elves

[snow fern]

Chaos Marines wish they were as interesting as the slaves to darkness

[scenic bolt]

40k and fantasy do not

[viral halo]

Godeater's Son was such a good book

[scenic bolt]

and fuck it, dark elves are order

[viral halo]

Dark Elves are my fave fantasy faction
