'What the fuck i thought i hired the rhino'

[opaque coyote]

I love Andrew Garfield's Spiderman.

The movies themselves weren't bad

[rose thorn]

'where the fuck are my space marines supposed to go'

[opaque coyote]

I liked Spiderman 1 but 2 kinda was too messy

And also the Rhino literally appears for like two scenes

No Way Home mentioned Andrew Garfield Spiderman basically going off the deep end for a while.

With him in that movie only recently recovering

Basically he went Red Hood for a bit

And honestly

[gray umbra]

I want to watch no way home purely for tobey and garfield

[opaque coyote]

I kinda want to see it

[opaque coyote]

No Way Home is a good movie in general

Like genuinely the BEST product out of Post Endgame MCU

[gray umbra]

Yeah i subbed to disney + just to go through the shows i care about

[rose thorn]

i love my broken ass school wifi lmao

[gray umbra]

Also to rewatch punisher

[opaque coyote]

But I honestly advise you to watch the previous MCU spiderman movies

Yes I am actually suggesting that

[gray umbra]

I watched homecoming

[rose thorn]

i cant access the world wide web btu at least i can take notes on fucking discord

[gray umbra]

Or do you mean the other ones

[opaque coyote]

Good enough I think

[gray umbra]

I watched the older ones

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/frankcastle-punisher-thepunisher-thumbs-up-gif-18953897

[opaque coyote]

I think it goes

Homecoming

Then Far from home

Then No Way Home

[gray umbra]

Oh didnt realize there was a second one

[opaque coyote]

Yeah No Way Home builds off of Far From Home

So

Y'know

Watch that

Or don't

I don't control you

[gray umbra]

Yeah probably will

[opaque coyote]

[gray umbra]

I watched homecoming with my gf and she went down the rabbit hole of like "how does this relate to avengers" so now we are going to go thru the lore

Far from home is after he gets distintegrated right

[queen laurel]

pasqual

how much of A waterproof system do you have

[rose thorn]

fucking fixed my school wifi by ignroing it's whack ass DNS

[opaque coyote]

yes

[kind hedge]

question: is Catachan pronounced

Catakhan: kah-TAA-kahn
or
Catatchian: kah-TAA-chee-uhn

[bold rampart]

katačan

next question

[kind hedge]

the 'chan' sounds very lame

[dusk patrol]

Cat-a-CHAN

[kind hedge]

doesnt it sound weak and soft?

[dusk patrol]

Idk

[kind hedge]

the 'kh' sounds harder

truly like a menace

[storm jungle]

Catakan sounds like you dont know how to spell it

its Cata-chan as per the audiobooks

[bold rampart]

i dont think those walking human tanks care how you pronounce it

[storm jungle]

They deffo do

Catachan people are like huge assholes and got a big dick complex

[kind hedge]

i just cant take cata-chan seriously

lol

[storm jungle]

I mean thats just you then

its been said as Cata-chan since forever lol

[bold rampart]

[outer wave]

Man, I love Cata-chan, she's so cute!!!

Kawaiii~❤️

[kind hedge]

HAHAHA

[dusk patrol]

[kind hedge]

its joever

[outer wave]

Obmamna....

[outer wave]

[gray umbra]

Yrliet chan

[hallow plover]

Catachans are bland, generic ||and no good models|| people

[bold rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-the-boys-soldier-boy-soldier-boy-jensen-ackles-soldier-boy-gargle-gif-4182327534484782068

[arctic talon]

Don’t insult the actual good minis they have smh

[bold rampart]

they look so fucking goofy lmao

[arctic talon]

Smh

[paper haven]

Sergeant Johnson?

What are you doing not in the Halo series? Master Chief needs your help.

[bold rampart]

the predator blood lol

[paper haven]

I guess you could do a 40k remake of Predator with a Lictor and a squad of catachans

[dusk patrol]

Pretty sure it’s been done

[gray umbra]

Terminator with necron pariah arnold schwarzenegger

Sarah connor is a radical ordo xenos inquisitor

[opaque coyote]

Cata-Chan would basically just be a muscular woman wearing a Rambo outfit

So

Basically just a regular Catachan

[outer wave]

Hot

[opaque coyote]

Fr

I find it funny that Rambo is like the term for a macho badass

When Rambo was originally a parody of that

[arctic talon]

Ripper Jackson gaming

[opaque coyote]

Like the actual movie is only partially awesome gun shit. But a good chunk of it is literally just him suffering from PTSD

[opaque coyote]

Yeah like that basically

[storm jungle]

Post-First Blood movies are basically what people associate with Rambo now

the first movie is legit depressing as shit

[outer wave]

Yeah that movie is pretty sad

[low gazelle]

why is nurgle and his follower odly adorable

[opaque coyote]

Exactly.

Ironically Rambo is a parody of itself

[low gazelle]

Nurgling bro 😭

[storm jungle]

Him saying he came home and couldn't even find job as a mall worker was just awful

[outer wave]

It somewhat reminds me of prisoners that have been in a sentence that was so long that them coming back into society is impossible

[arctic talon]

"adorable"

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I remember a story from a veteran after WW2.

How he couldn't go to a therapist for his problems because he lives in a tight knit community.

So everyone would know he would've gone to a shrink, and so everyone would've kept him away from jobs and the like

Thinking he was crazy

[storm jungle]

Yeah not much has changed

💀

[low gazelle]

ku-gath just wanted some of grandpapis stew 🥺

[opaque coyote]

Ironically that type of shit ACTUALLY makes people crazy

[outer wave]

Isolation is awful

Funnily its also why the Moebian 6th defected

They couldnt talk about their experiences with anyone

[opaque coyote]

Hell, the term "Going Postal" referred to a mailman who got underpaid and mistreated. Who then snapped and went fucking crazy

He was a Vietnam Veteran

[outer wave]

Christ

[low gazelle]

holy sh

[opaque coyote]

Hell Postal 1 is based on this.

The protagonist there is directly implied to be a Veteran

[low gazelle]

Yeah isolation for creaturs who're naturally sociable

is dangerous

[opaque coyote]

To be optimistic for a moment.

We actually have increased awareness of psychology and mental issues now

Although there are still plenty who ostracize and belittle

There are also plenty of those who now care

[outer wave]

We're alot better with dealing with mental illnesses than 60 years ago

[opaque coyote]

Due to the advent of information and education we have

[opaque coyote]

Basically, yes. We still have a long way to go, but we're 100% making progress

Hopefully we'll keep on the path of knowledge and

Not fall into 40k

[low gazelle]

The probblem iis if you share certain thinggs then in a fit of rage or for their own amusement some sick "friends" will use that against you.

so althouggh we may bbe aware

optiions are limited

[opaque coyote]

Yes. That type of situation is awful

[low gazelle]

I did not mean to dampen the optimism thoo

sorry

[opaque coyote]

Nah it's fine

[gray umbra]

Im a little on the cynical side

[opaque coyote]

Being truthful about the problems we have as a collective and as a individual are the first step to solving that.

Although it is hard to stem human nature

[gray umbra]

Not necessarily a problem with people being more cognizant but the means to get there

[opaque coyote]

Because part of the reason why we ostracize is merely due to primal fear

"man does strange behavior"

"Man must be driven away from tribe"

[gray umbra]

Oh i mean like we are more understanding now but the people in power to change that are mostly bought and paid for

[low gazelle]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[opaque coyote]

Me watching the presidential debate:

[low gazelle]

In most places therapy is considered normal and a need. Having an emotional outlet is necessary

[crisp heath]

One time I put a cool rock I found in my mouth but it turn out to be the knucklebone of an unknown hooved mammal

[low gazelle]

"we have no active armed forces anywhere in the world rn"

"SO WHERE TF ARE WE??"

that clip lives rent free in my head

[opaque coyote]

In first world countries anyways, and even then only some.

Asian countries are kinda behind on the mental health side. Especially China, S.Korea, and Japan.

I mean just look at their suicide rates

But it's better than

Nothing

Or

"SHE'S A WITCH. SHE DID SOMETHING STRANGE. LET'S DROWN HER"

"bro I just sneezed what"

[low gazelle]

Yeah that has more to do with their culture. Thats due to pressures of their social circle to do well and if they dont then they might as well not exist.

[gray umbra]

Yeah we are in a better place

[opaque coyote]

The immigrants eating dogs clip still makes me laugh

Like

Bruh

[gray umbra]

:))

[low gazelle]

RIGHT?

I just wish we'd focus on policies

but no

we gotta have a screamin match over defaming

[green loom]

Uh oh

[storm jungle]

Idk man im pretty unsociable

[green loom]

I've managed to redirect my loneliness into mass art development

I think

[opaque coyote]

Well at least I'm Chinese so it's a two fold of stereotypes

[green loom]

That or I'm just that used to it

[opaque coyote]

[low gazelle]

Yea i left out a passion outlet is used to occupy the mind

[opaque coyote]

Grab two racist stereotypes

Make a delicious sandwich

Uhhh

[low gazelle]

A mind left to wander on its own is dangerous. Peoople go crazy

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

I saw some of your art btw

Pretty good

[low gazelle]

Im pretty sure that those spikes are usually around exams to 💀

Oh got a C? welp yknow what timee it is

[gray umbra]

Guess ill just die

[opaque coyote]

Although I wonder

SM beak helmets

[arctic talon]

at least they don't beat students for scoring low anymore

[opaque coyote]

Is there any SM that just like

Sharpened the beak part

And headbutted people

Like come on that would be funny

[green loom]

a year apart

[gray umbra]

Prolly some raven guard tried it at some point and nose dived a ork

[storm jungle]

TRAUMA TEAM

LETS FUCKING GOOO

[languid meadow]

nice Trauma team art

[gray umbra]

Very nice

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/landing-cyberpunk2077-trauma-team-first-person-gameplay-gif-26400333

[low gazelle]

p sure most if not all wh40k fans are cynical. Its griim dark soo

[arctic talon]

looks nice

[storm jungle]

Me rolling into lorechat

[languid meadow]

God I love TT so much

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the most depressing parts of 40k are the ones that are based on things that happened in reality

[storm jungle]

same

they are such a realistic idea too

[languid meadow]

they're concept is both horrifying and cool

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/trauma-team-cyberpunk2077-gun-being-gunned-down-trying-to-escape-gif-26400919

[storm jungle]

literally medic mercenaries

[arctic talon]

Trauma team morally is like

[low gazelle]

We're so close to that rn

[arctic talon]

one of the least terrible corporations

[opaque coyote]

USA healthcare taken to the next level

...

At least they're fast

[arctic talon]

Whic his fucking hilarious

[storm jungle]

Its literally that yeah

[arctic talon]

They're fast and they'll save your life

Like

[opaque coyote]

To be fair they're probably the only corporation that saves lives.

Even if it's for monetary gain for elites

[storm jungle]

like their concept is so old it actually predates how bad the U.S healthcare system has gotten i think?

[arctic talon]

Trauma team jokes aside are very good at their job

It is

[low gazelle]

There is a premium medcare already. that offers spec services

[arctic talon]

it predates it

LOL

[storm jungle]

LMAO

yeah was gonna say

[low gazelle]

soooooooooo

[arctic talon]

Trauma team was pre Cyberpunk 2020

lol

[low gazelle]

We are cooked

[storm jungle]

I love how they charge you down to like

every bullet and equipment they use

fucking crazy

[low gazelle]

WE GOT TRAUMA TEAM BEFORE GTA

[arctic talon]

Trauma team in Cyberpunk Red is more dystopian lmao

[low gazelle]

BBRO 😭

[arctic talon]

Considering the employees get charged for "collateral" lol

[rose thorn]

According to YouTube shorts they aren’t evil

[arctic talon]

They aren't that evil

compared to other coporations

again

[gray umbra]

If you have arasaka insurance, they deduct 80 percent from your out of pocket costs

[arctic talon]

They will save your life

[gray umbra]

Amazing

[rose thorn]

Anyway they are an amazing I love them

[arctic talon]

They'll also gun down anyone stupid enough to get in their way

[opaque coyote]

As long as you have their plan

[arctic talon]

Well

thats a given

no shit

💀

[rose thorn]

It’s such a good idea

[arctic talon]

Fucking split a trauma team card

remember

[green loom]

And the client, sometimes
And then charge them for the revive

[arctic talon]

its allowed

to split the fucking plan

At least below platinum lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah they arent evil they are the peak thing of "jus tdoing my job"

[arctic talon]

because thats when they shove a monitor into your heart

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I wonder the alternative timeline where they actually did save David's mom.

But now David has to pay like a 20000 Eddies debt

[arctic talon]

I mean

[storm jungle]

LOL

[low gazelle]

HOLY SH what tf happened to ubisoft?

[arctic talon]

David's mom was absolutely savable

lol

[storm jungle]

Actually what does happen if you get in TT debt?

[arctic talon]

nothing

[storm jungle]

i swear it was explained

[opaque coyote]

It's dying and everyone's dancing on their grave

[arctic talon]

they cut your plan

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

and they shave your cash

[green loom]

Hostile takeover they barely avoided

[storm jungle]

oh right they just leave you for dead

LOL

[arctic talon]

If you can't pay for it after treatment

they pretty much just shrug their shoulders

[rose thorn]

Someone is making a trauma team themed Necromunda gang

[arctic talon]

and take a chunk of your wage lol

[low gazelle]

the ubisoft logoo is a top view 🤣

[arctic talon]

Or you can work for them

And that works it off faster

because jokes aside Trauma team pays well

assuming you have the skills

[rose thorn]

I think they are doing uh, the tech guys

[opaque coyote]

...

You know honestly that's literally just USA healthcare

[arctic talon]

to you know

[rose thorn]

I can’t remember thier name

[arctic talon]

stich someone who got blown in half

back together

[opaque coyote]

Like they literally just charge you even if you don't have the money

/insurance

[arctic talon]

Again, the main way traumateam makes money

[rose thorn]

VAN SAAR!!!

[arctic talon]

is from the subscription

[low gazelle]

You can always ask for a itemized list of everything used so its not 500$ for a band aid

[rose thorn]

Van Saar trauma team

[arctic talon]

you're paying for that service

even when you don't use it lol

[low gazelle]

ALSO NEVER MENTION INSURANCE

[dusk patrol]

The Platinum members have something absurd like a 15 second respond time guaranteed

[arctic talon]

yeah

[languid meadow]

500 a month for silver doesn't sound so bad wth

[arctic talon]

mhm

Trauma team is like

[low gazelle]

Thiinggs are more expensive througgh insurance that as an indiviidual

[arctic talon]

somewhat reasonable at the lower tiers

cost wise lol

[green loom]

It's 5 minutes

[rose thorn]

Where’s that Amazon package delivery meme

[green loom]

I think

[arctic talon]

2077 doesn't even mention the bronze and lower packages

[green loom]

Which is absurd tbf

[arctic talon]

lol

Again they literally break the law

to get to your that fast

they ignore traffic law

and they shoot people

[dusk patrol]

3-5 minutes yeah

[rose thorn]

But they are first responders

[arctic talon]

The AV has a mounted minigun

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think Faraday literally had a Trauma Team Platinum membership with how fast they got to him after he got crippled

[low gazelle]

Are we late stage capitilism?

[green loom]

Corporate ones

[arctic talon]

Technically they aren't

[low gazelle]

societal collapse comes next

[arctic talon]

they're a mercenary protection corporation

lol

[languid meadow]

well for medical companies it's either biotecnica or trauma team international (one sells drugs that melts your brain)

[opaque coyote]

Like David crippled him, and then 15 seconds later, Trauma Team came in

[arctic talon]

tbf

[rose thorn]

Yeah but like, you still have to adhere to park rangers

[arctic talon]

In Faradays case

Trauma team HQ in NC is like

[rose thorn]

They have the authority

[green loom]

Trauma team is a hospital with a military

[arctic talon]

literally a stones throw away lol

Trauma team legally

is a military force with a hospital

[dusk patrol]

They eventually removed themselves from the corpo wars because it was getting ridiculous

[arctic talon]

but in terms of how they actually work its like a bunch of paramedics

[dusk patrol]

Not that it helped

[opaque coyote]

True.

They probably have to save like a bunch of Arasaka employees that got a heart attack from overwork daily

[arctic talon]

armed with guns

[opaque coyote]

[dusk patrol]

They refused to help active military personnel but it didn’t prevent attempts to get around it

[arctic talon]

Cyberpunk Red has fullborg Trauma team members

which is

horrifying

and cool

[opaque coyote]

Makes sense

[storm jungle]

Luv me cyberpunk lore

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think it would be funny if there was like

[arctic talon]

they can perform onsite surgery with the fullborgs lol

[low gazelle]

Me starring at the happy couple knowing what must bbe done

[arctic talon]

assuming the full borg doesn't want to just

kill people

[opaque coyote]

A "Perma-death" mode for Cyberpunk's sequel

[arctic talon]

instead of doing their fucking job

but hey

[opaque coyote]

You have to buy Trauma Team insurance to get a respawn basically

[arctic talon]

At least its not an Arasaka corporate death squad

[dusk patrol]

Trauma Team is a double entendre

[opaque coyote]

Once you do, you get charged

[arctic talon]

oh also the funniest thing is in Cyberpunk red

[opaque coyote]

If you die with no money. They literally just take your guns and shit

[arctic talon]

if one of the characters is a corpo rat

they get trauma team coverage for free

and you can "jailbreak" the card

[green loom]

There's apparently a short lore blurb in one of the older rule books where trauma team gets sent to save a guy choking on noodles
The dude then pulls a gun on them for charging
So they shoot him
Then they revive him
And charge him for the bullets and the revive

[arctic talon]

Yes

its from the 2020 book

lol

[opaque coyote]

I'm just imagining those stupid like

2009 Movie Maker Text tutorials

But in cyberpunk

[arctic talon]

lol

[opaque coyote]

"How to get cracked trauma team membership working 2078"

[arctic talon]

I don't even think it would work

with how the cards are designed in 2077

in RED they're these big bulky things

In 2077 they just look like a credit card

yeah they look like this

[opaque coyote]

clicks on video
shows 30+ year old card from Red
Trance 009 plays

"helo chooms, 2day we're going 2 crack a trauma team paltinum membrship!!!!!!1"

[storm jungle]

Props to the design team for making a paramedic symbol look hostile as shit

[opaque coyote]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKfS5zVfGBc&list=PLpoYz7tii_gj5EA1RV99A9ZOR4OD5W0LS

[arctic talon]

fun fact they got in trouble for this

Because redcross

[low gazelle]

I would love a show where we see trauma team witnessing these tragedies gets to them, then they just go postal

[storm jungle]

LOL

I mean its good that they did

[opaque coyote]

To be fair, I don't think Red Cross wants to be associated with a corporation that leaves people for dead

[green loom]

NGL i like the newer logo a lot

[storm jungle]

the new logo is os much better

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

^^^^^^

its sharp

its hostile

it looks cool af

[green loom]

Same brainwave

[arctic talon]

the newer logo is way better

most of the logos 2077 changed

are for the better imo

[green loom]

I don't think I showed u the earlier sketch

[opaque coyote]

looks more like cuts from a weapon rather than a medical symbol lol

[low gazelle]

Yeah we can re use the deads parts - some admech

[arctic talon]

Biotechnica basically didn't change at all

lol

[storm jungle]

i love this too

[storm jungle]

it looks so gentle

and unassuming

then you read the shit they do

💀

[arctic talon]

Lol

fun fact

Raven microcybernetics doesn't have a logo in 2077

[low gazelle]

That onee soong about the girl findiing out the medicine killed her mom

[green loom]

Is Kang Tao being in like, the Supreme font intentional

[arctic talon]

despite having multiple of their products

[arctic talon]

Yes

[green loom]

That's funny

[storm jungle]

Also you can find like

a sidequest i think

[low gazelle]

LET YOU DOWN

[storm jungle]

where a guy saved some pregnant women from a biotechnica lab?

or something

[arctic talon]

Btw if you're wondering why its in Traditional chinese

its because Taiwan invaded and took over China in Cyberpunk 2020

Or I guess between 2020 and Red

[low gazelle]

cant wait foor the irl versioon 👀

[arctic talon]

this is literally mentioned in a single line about Kang tao in RED

[gray umbra]

cp is pretty cool

[arctic talon]

and never mentioned again

please don't call it that

[gray umbra]

u dont like cp?

oh

[low gazelle]

I love CP

[green loom]

I keep forgetting that Europe is an actual place in Cyberpunk

[arctic talon]

I do think its funny Kang tao in lore did not export to the US

until like

2045

any Kangtao equipment found in the US was blackmarket goods

or uh

"donations"

[low gazelle]

HANK DONT ABBREVIATE CYBERPUNK HANK! HAAAAAAAANK!

[green loom]

Their SMGs look cool as fuck though

[storm jungle]

I love how Pondsmith just looked at the Middle-east

and went

"nah im not dealing with that"

[arctic talon]

they nuked themselves

[storm jungle]

nukes it

[arctic talon]

I don't care

fuck it

[storm jungle]

like

im a muslim

and i approve

fuck it

[low gazelle]

[arctic talon]

Turkey didn't get nuked

🤓

[storm jungle]

well it didnt

[gray umbra]

we'll get there soon enough

[storm jungle]

but it got massive rad sotrms

[arctic talon]

(I'm joking about it being in the middle east)

don't kill me

[storm jungle]

I MEAN

[low gazelle]

Average american response when we dry all oil

[arctic talon]

ITS NOT REALLY

[storm jungle]

its technicalyl half in europe

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

and half in the middle east

[arctic talon]

Its like half half

[storm jungle]

so you arent wrong

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

yeah pretty much

[arctic talon]

Either way Europe is

[green loom]

Did Turkey conquer the Balkans

[arctic talon]

just as much of a shithole

soviet union never broke up

in Cyberpunk

its just a capitalistic hellhole now as well

Glory to SovOil

[low gazelle]

Wait is our earth... headed towards grimdark?

[gray umbra]

boringdark

[storm jungle]

I love how like

[arctic talon]

I really like the SovOil logo ngl

[storm jungle]

these guys own a half of russia

as a company

lol

[arctic talon]

Russia claims its still communist btw

its "Neocommunism"

[storm jungle]

I never got like

how that works

[arctic talon]

look at China

[storm jungle]

since the USSR still exists but doesnt

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

OH LOL

[arctic talon]

Its sort of what happened to Chinas communist party

[green loom]

Yeah as opposed to irl where half of it is owned by like Gazprom or something

[arctic talon]

but applied to the USSR

[dusk patrol]

What’s the term

[arctic talon]

There's more then one Soviet Corporation in Cyberpunk tbf

[low gazelle]

iisnt communism on paper goood but in practice leads to coruptiion

[gray umbra]

most leadership styles are

[low gazelle]

"I enjoyed, the idea of it"

[green loom]

All systems are probably not bad until you put humans in them

[dusk patrol]

I don’t get why anyone hasn’t tried Utopianism yet

It’s literally about making the best society

Why can’t we just do that

[gray umbra]

there is no war in ba sing se

[low gazelle]

So what your saying is... flesh is weak...

[storm jungle]

Its basically too hopeful and doesnt work with a species like ours lol

like even in the perfect society

people will create wars/conflict over nothing

its kinda pointless

[arctic talon]

communism requires everyone to have everyone elses best interests in mind

which is uh

[storm jungle]

It would only work in say small communities or whatever

[arctic talon]

not how animals work really

[storm jungle]

Also yeah that

[low gazelle]

Starting to understand japans suicide rates...

[arctic talon]

it works on a small scale

[storm jungle]

LOL

[arctic talon]

it does not expand properly

Korea is literally a corporate hellscape already

lol

[storm jungle]

^

[gray umbra]

it would probably be like good at first and then get stagnant and will refuse to acknowledge that its not a utopia anymore

[storm jungle]

Korea is legit like

[arctic talon]

Glory to samsung

[storm jungle]

horrifying

[gray umbra]

because we're dumb like that

[storm jungle]

its actually Night City

[arctic talon]

Chaebol

moment

[storm jungle]

not even a meme

[dusk patrol]

More reason why lottoocracy is the best system

[low gazelle]

I really need to be careful with some of these jokes in public discord servers 🤣

[storm jungle]

have yall looked up Pornocracy

(yes this is real)

[low gazelle]

Filter is cranked to 1000

[dusk patrol]

I think your mom is a key figure in that movement

[gray umbra]

what is the right to rule in a pornocracy

[dusk patrol]

[gray umbra]

the fattest cock

[storm jungle]

💀

[arctic talon]

Glory to Samsung

[storm jungle]

thats Dicktatorship

also

[gray umbra]

the porn economy

[low gazelle]

ayo?

[dusk patrol]

That’s just a lame domination fetish

[arctic talon]

Gary Gygax is that you

[low gazelle]

Slanesh?

[arctic talon]

I think its funny how in cyberpunk

literally every single place is terrible

in its own fun ways

[dusk patrol]

False, some places have Panem

And her ass

[storm jungle]

LOL

i love how you say this

and those places are the outlands

[gray umbra]

true

[low gazelle]

TRUE AND REAL

[storm jungle]

aka the best places

[arctic talon]

Nomads have it the best

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/panam-200iq-head-tap-smart-cyberpunk-gif-26709006

[arctic talon]

overall tbh

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

It’s not fair

[gray umbra]

causes a emp blast and not afraid of anything

[dusk patrol]

I didn’t even know I had that type

[arctic talon]

MetaCorp is literally a nomad nation

that is also a corporation

how does that work

I don't know

[low gazelle]

If you guys want irl CP then go to detroit

[storm jungle]

I think the cringiest moments i nmy life

[low gazelle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[storm jungle]

or at least one of them

[arctic talon]

but they make a smartgun rocket launcher

[storm jungle]

was when Panam turns you down

[arctic talon]

so fuck it

[storm jungle]

I LEGIT

sunk into my chair

💀

[green loom]

Nah it's literally just south korea

[dusk patrol]

[arctic talon]

also they make this shotgun abomination

[dusk patrol]

Phrasing

[arctic talon]

this makes metacorp the best Nomad group

[dusk patrol]

That’s what you get for being a women

[gray umbra]

okay am i crazy but uh is that corpo lady from the prologue kind of fine

[dusk patrol]

I hope you learned your lesson

[arctic talon]

Meredith?

yeah she's hot

[gray umbra]

yes

[languid meadow]

Militech my beloved

[green loom]

River quest line as fem V

[gray umbra]

shes got that like overstressed middle manager vibe with a marlboro gold addiction

asfdjkl;ajfwhl;la

[green loom]

Fem V really gets the worst rejections huh

[arctic talon]

Metacorp is the weirdest corporation

[dusk patrol]

River does have a cool gun

[arctic talon]

because its a nomad group

lol

[dusk patrol]

I’ll give him that

[low gazelle]

One of my friends is obessed with astarion. She just loves his voice

[arctic talon]

River is such a bad like

romance thing

💀

[low gazelle]

We agree on shadow heart tho

[arctic talon]

Astarions voice is top notch

[low gazelle]

cause karlach is #2

[arctic talon]

Astarion himself is kind of a piece of shit lol

[low gazelle]

to shadowheart

[arctic talon]

but he gets over it assuming you don't you know

fucking destroy his soul via ascension

[dusk patrol]

Shadowheart is the best romance partially because she’s obviously the writers pet

[languid meadow]

Speaking of nomads, frostpunk 2 has made me realize how fast I would cave to becoming a dictator.

[dusk patrol]

Karlach is the hottest though in both ways

[languid meadow]

Annoying ass pilgrims

[arctic talon]

SH/Astarion both feel like

The writers pets

which is fine

but also lol

[gray umbra]

i like karlach and minthara

[arctic talon]

its pretty obvious

[low gazelle]

The needs of the many justify the deaths of a few

[dusk patrol]

But yeah Astarion and Shadowheart are like

[green loom]

Shadowheart is forbidden romance bait for selunites with how personal her quest line gets

[dusk patrol]

So hilariously “overwritten”

[storm jungle]

They legit made the rejections in cyberpunk so realistic, it is SO fucking awkward when they say they dont dig you.

[arctic talon]

Rejecting river is so awkward 💀

[dusk patrol]

Compared to like Wyll

Who is there

[arctic talon]

Wyll

[green loom]

Wouldn't know

[arctic talon]

got rewritten like

[low gazelle]

Who needs childhood when thats a resource wasted

[arctic talon]

three fucking times

LOL

he suffers from that

[gray umbra]

Wyll the giga virgin

[arctic talon]

can't belive they removed the early access scene where Mizora interrupts you and him having sex

[storm jungle]

was Wyll uh

the white beard guy

[arctic talon]

funniest fucking scene ever

No

[gray umbra]

the warlock guy

[arctic talon]

wyll is the warlock

[storm jungle]

who

[gray umbra]

lol

[storm jungle]

whos the warlock 💀

[low gazelle]

Getting rejected virtually and irl...

[dusk patrol]

The horny guy whose boring

[arctic talon]

this dude

[storm jungle]

oh

i forgot he existed ngl

[low gazelle]

There is no winning :sobb

[languid meadow]

I love gale

[gray umbra]

the guy who's personality is

"my father"

[low gazelle]

THE BOMB U WALK AROUND W

[gray umbra]

or "i am the BLADE"

[low gazelle]

HES HOLDING YOU HOOSTAGE

[arctic talon]

Gale has the bomb

[dusk patrol]

That’s why I fucked his patron

[arctic talon]

Wyll is just

Wyll

[dusk patrol]

Establish dominance

[arctic talon]

LOL

Mizora being a Cambion is weird

ngl

would have expected her to be like

idk

something else lol

[green loom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1112741233631182989/1286038248510066821/RDT_20240912_104153.mp4?ex=66fd9773&is=66fc45f3&hm=49148685c2adafd0b73888a722f7881caaa659f1a35817601827256bebbac8f5&

[arctic talon]

BG3 really likes Cambions

like really really really

[dusk patrol]

“Oh no you fucked her and it like made souls feel bad” yeah wyll they’re in hell they’re gonna feel bad

[gray umbra]

bg3 is partial to titties

[dusk patrol]

At least I got something out of it

[storm jungle]

Lmao him fucking almost breaking

[dusk patrol]

Not all of us are dumbasses who sell our souls to daemons

[languid meadow]

Devils

[arctic talon]

would have expected Mizora to be a Brachina ngl

not like

[gray umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-monkey-look-and-leave-yikes-monkey-look-and-leave-gif-14895670

[arctic talon]

a fucking cambion

[languid meadow]

neelrd emoji

Fucking

Graaaaah

[arctic talon]

oh also the only incubus/succubus in the game being polymorphed into a cambion is fucking hilarious as well

[green loom]

I'd sell my soul to a demon

[languid meadow]

I hate this phone

[arctic talon]

Why demon

💀

[gray umbra]

my hexblade warlockpaladin nuking everything in the game be like

[green loom]

Well who else am I going to sell it to, Elon?

[arctic talon]

Mizora is a devil 🤓

Devils are a lot less evil

[low gazelle]

BG3 gives players to much freedom instead of a dm that says "Gods may have died but their influence still remains" as a trump card when a player does something off of reddit to ruiin ur entire campaign

[arctic talon]

you just get sent to beuracracy hell

or war

[gray umbra]

arent they like pathfinder where devils are super order

[dusk patrol]

Tfw if you fuck the one succubus person they use your body and give you free orgasms as you’re running around and its supposed to be a bad thing smh

[arctic talon]

Yes

Devils are Lawful Evil

super hard

which PF took from DND

but w/e

Demons are chaotic evil assholes

[gray umbra]

yeah

[dusk patrol]

That’s why they have to follow pacts and shit

[arctic talon]

Yeah

ngl

[dusk patrol]

They’re just tricky fuckers

[arctic talon]

Wyll prolly could have taken Mizora to court

[languid meadow]

Demons being hated by everyone is great

[arctic talon]

over some of the stuff she pulls later

lmao

but that would require him to go to Court

in hell

[arctic talon]

Literally the one thing Devils and Celestials can agree on is keeping Demons shoved in their hellhole

[dusk patrol]

Iirc there’s a case where some random dude takes a high ranking arch devil to court and he wins because the arch devil never expected him to read his contract properly

[low gazelle]

fun fact in dnd yoou can infinitly replicate yoour self usiing wish.

[arctic talon]

Wish literally stops working

if you roll badly

[dusk patrol]

Who would have thought wish could be abused?

[gray umbra]

Wish is a good meme spell

[arctic talon]

It was belial the dude who literally runs the Court

LOL

which is even fucking funnier

[low gazelle]

Well thats if your character lasts as a wizard for that long

[green loom]

Was he angry about it

[low gazelle]

Takes 1d4 oof aiir and dies

[arctic talon]

High level dnd 5e sucks

[arctic talon]

No

He was surprised someone actually bothered to fucking read it

he was kind of annoyed but like

[dusk patrol]

Tbh I prefer DMs not do the lame shit with wish and just make it clear what won’t be allowed

[arctic talon]

oh well

^

yeah this

[dusk patrol]

Or don’t allow it at all

[arctic talon]

lol

establish actual boundries

with your fucking players

big surprise

everyone has more fun

[green loom]

I like the funny bit with

Eh

[dusk patrol]

Make it a one time use for all I care

It’s a huge investment

[green loom]

What's Laezel again

[arctic talon]

Gith

[languid meadow]

Gith

[arctic talon]

*githyanki specifically

[green loom]

The gith queen

[arctic talon]

Vlaakith?

[dusk patrol]

Yeah she uses wish to kill you

[green loom]

Ye

[dusk patrol]

Cause she’s not really a god

[tulip sand]

Has fartshart ever explained why none of the non-paypig helmets are fully enclosed? You either get a face covering or full helmet but never both

[dusk patrol]

She’s just a powerful lich

[arctic talon]

thats not really a lore thing

thats just a cosmetic thing

[languid meadow]

Githzerai are peak

[tulip sand]

Even the stormtrooper helmet doesnt have a visor for some reason

[arctic talon]

githzerai can have kids normally still

unlike Githyanki

who need to do the egg thing

[tulip sand]

True

[low gazelle]

OOH questioon

so why dont people leave the universe of wh40K?

[arctic talon]

because

[low gazelle]

like travel so far away

[arctic talon]

they can't really

[gray umbra]

like to another one

[green loom]

I wish they'd explain why they haven't given vet a fucking beret

[arctic talon]

There's also the potential the galaxy is surrounded by Tyranids

[arctic talon]

Flak beret

[dusk patrol]

I can’t recall doesn’t the egg thing end up proving githyanki are naturally assholes?

[arctic talon]

No

[gray umbra]

or like to another setting

[arctic talon]

if you give the egg

they literally torture the baby

💀

[low gazelle]

not another setting

just leave the area of space

[arctic talon]

if you let Lae'zel raise the egg assuming she doesn't ascend

she lets the child pick their career path

iirc they end up becoming like a scholar

[dusk patrol]

Lame

[green loom]

Laezel can kinda grow out of it and isn't there a gith in the creche that's kinda chill

[arctic talon]

yeah

and they kill him

[dusk patrol]

There’s a few

[arctic talon]

💀

If you're talking about the kid

the egg caretaker is also pretty chill

[green loom]

Probably

[languid meadow]

The only thing githyanki have over zerai is the dragons imo (I love dragons)

In terms of coolness

[arctic talon]

I just feel bad for the Githyanki as a species more then anything

they went from being enslaved by mindflayers

[dusk patrol]

It’s fun learning but I remember playing the game early on I had no clue about the Gith so I was super confused as to what the dynamic was

[arctic talon]

to being enslaved by a bunch of facists leading up to a Lich

[green loom]

Well Szarekh did try tbh

[arctic talon]

ngl

I'm very surprised Larien used gith

they aren't PHB

[dusk patrol]

They’re super out there

[low gazelle]

Ohh the astronomicon is the reason.

[arctic talon]

They're also just sorta generally speaking Evil assholes

[low gazelle]

And they dont alloow ai to guide ships

[arctic talon]

I do like how the underdark

isn't just

[dusk patrol]

Even for DnD they’re a pretty wild concept

[low gazelle]

that makes since

[arctic talon]

drow drwo drow drow drow

nice change of pace

[low gazelle]

I love the raciism it causes tho

[arctic talon]

from BG1 and 2

where its just

Drow drow drow drow drow

[gray umbra]

mushroom people

[green loom]

Gith are really funny

[low gazelle]

Like the underdark is a character defining experience

[dusk patrol]

Wish we got more of the gnomes in Baldurs gate

[arctic talon]

shame Viconia ended up being an asshole but whatever

[green loom]

I bring word of gnomes

[arctic talon]

she was going to die unless you romanced her

so uh

[green loom]

Gnomes from the sea

[arctic talon]

we get Evil viconia instead lol

[green loom]

Mer-gnomes!

[arctic talon]

gnomes > halflings tbh

I just like Gnomes more

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

Halfings look weird

[arctic talon]

halflings are also just kind of boring

lol

[dusk patrol]

“Oh boy berries and forests and shit”

[arctic talon]

I've never wanted to make a halfling character

I've def wanted to make a gnome character before

for RP reasons

[dusk patrol]

I think I did an artificer gnome once, but the best gnome I’ve ever seen is a dude did a barbarian one

[low gazelle]

do salamanders have like human servants that washed out of being a space marine

[dusk patrol]

And I was a normal human fighter and he would ride me into battle before I’d throw him or he’d leap off me

[green loom]

Most chapters do

[dusk patrol]

Serfs yeah

[arctic talon]

iirc yes

Not all chapters have serfs who are washed out marines though

[dusk patrol]

Most chapters use washed up aspirants as serfs

[low gazelle]

ebst joob in the verse right there

[dusk patrol]

But not all are

[low gazelle]

bbeing a salamander serf

[dusk patrol]

Debatable

[arctic talon]

there are certianly worse jobs

[dusk patrol]

It’s ok though

[arctic talon]

lol

[dusk patrol]

Being a serf in general is generally pretty chill for most chapters

It’s hard often but you have food and lodging

[arctic talon]

Gnome barbarian specialized in Grappling

is so fucking funny

[dusk patrol]

And depending on your job can be fairly respected

[dusk patrol]

I can’t recall his build, I think we hand waved a lot of issues with the concept

[arctic talon]

tbh

[dusk patrol]

Like he was given a magical axe which was basically the stats and weight of a normal bigger axe but it was his size and could be wielded by him.

Eventually he got a bunch of ways an stuff to be strong enough where it didn’t matter also

He had some massive axe taller than him and he would swing it around and let the momentum of the axe fling him around

It was funny, and pretty good

We had a lot of moments with like “surprise we have a super deadly and armed gnome hidden in this chest!”

[arctic talon]

ngl Fairy as any martial class

is really fucking funny

[dusk patrol]

He won a lot of bare knuckle boxing and wrestling contests too in towns and tavern brawls

It’s very amusing

[arctic talon]

because a small martial who can fly

is conceptually hilarious

only downside is no medium or heavy armor but w/e

[dusk patrol]

I always like trying to make unconventional classes work

I wasn’t in the game but some friend had a Goliath artificer and he basically made giant siege cannons he could wield

It’s just based around the DM letting you do it and also making sure not to take too much advantage of some unconventional allowances or combos

[arctic talon]

yeah

Also it looks like they're just releasing 2077 supplements for RED now?

I won't complain but weird lol

[thick cedar]

Warhammer 40k is about the emperor building a bunch of minis and giving them to his sons and then one of his asshole sons decides he wants more minis and stabs his dad

After a stranger introduces him to cocaine

[green loom]

Utini

[thick cedar]

Can I get ageneral idea of just how powerful an Alpha level psyker is? Like what are they capable of?

[gray umbra]

world ending

there's not a lot of defined examples but they're really dangerous

[gray umbra]

damn blade dancer is kind of op

[low gazelle]

wh40k show was scrapped?

is that true?

all i can see is rumors

[storm jungle]

Wait for actual news from GW

these "rumors" are the same ones that kept insisting Cavill is leaving production due to female custodians lol

[low gazelle]

was anyone actually mad about that?

Also I hoope they dont fumble this by trying to make a stoory around political ideologies froom our world

[storm jungle]

Uhhh without getting into it yes a lot.

[low gazelle]

why?

im like genuinly curiioous

[storm jungle]

• Transhuman women in power armor
• Retconning lore (even though this is literally nothing)
• Not giving attention to other female factions like Sisters of Silence (which is actual cope bullshit)

[outer wave]

Partly because we've been over this topic many many times in this chat, and its a pretty tiring topic to talk about even months later.

[low gazelle]

I thought space marines dont have reproductive organisms

[storm jungle]

Custodians arent space marines

[low gazelle]

except

slanesh

bbecause

[storm jungle]

[low gazelle]

ykknow

[storm jungle]

[outer wave]

Nah SM Im pretty sure are just sterile

[gray umbra]

the sister of silence from tithes was cool as fuck

[outer wave]

They still have gonads

Nuts and balls

[crystal forum]

keep in mind the reasons stated by dilara are literally reaching beyond infinity to get any reason

[gray umbra]

its a lot of mental gymnastics

[crystal forum]

people are just mad because women it's really not complicated

[outer wave]

I find the last reasoning particuarly stupid because if they wanted to add something to SoS thats on the same level of impact as this was, it would also be a nothingburger

[storm jungle]

Its not even that

[outer wave]

"Oh its actually Siblings of Silence and now theres male blanks"

Okay

[storm jungle]

literally nobody gives a shit about the SoS

but now apparently the entire vocal fandom does

okay buddy lmao

[gray umbra]

lol

[outer wave]

Lmao

[storm jungle]

where were you 10 years ago

[gray umbra]

brothers of silence wouldnt get a second glance

tbh

[storm jungle]

^

Its literally just "we dont want pseudo-astartes women in our setting"

so lol, whatever

[crystal forum]

like all hate wagons go it started with dumb people not realizing that custodes arent space marines and the talking heads took advantage of this for free money

[storm jungle]

^

Also like, side-waying for a second

its not even just this

they also go mad when a space marine isnt white

or just a causian man lol

just the same old shit

[low gazelle]

isnt the whoole point of a shoow is to present too a wider audience on a new medium? So to attaiin that audience to get into the hobby wouldnt adding female custodes just briing in a new demographic?

[storm jungle]

Its not really that.

[low gazelle]

bback then the demoggraphic was less skewed i thiink primary target bbeing male

[storm jungle]

We already got demographic representation in the last few years

its just expanding it like any smart business would

[low gazelle]

I am sligghtly worriied

cause yknow

amazon killed a lot of things

by adapting it to a show

[outer wave]

Ehhh I wouldnt be

Its not like Warhammer suddenly dies because the Amazon show does shit

[gray umbra]

its not hard to fuck up 40k

at least i dont think so

and im sure gw is super autistic about it being presented in a show like they are in any other media where 40k is depicted

[low gazelle]

no bbut i want my friends to get into it and ive seen what ggood shows can do to a franchise

Ex ffallout, last of us

Halo legends

[gray umbra]

ironically enough the first two are not bad

[low gazelle]

THE HALO TV SHOW RUINED MY LIFE

[storm jungle]

Amazon has made as many good shows as bad ones

again, dont listen to the internet

consume the media you want and make your own judgement

[arctic talon]

I’m glad Amazon didn’t adapt the Boys one for one

That show would be dogshit lol

[low gazelle]

they did invincible right?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Invincible the show is paced better

then the comic imo

[low gazelle]

They adapted that super well

[arctic talon]

The Boys genuinely sucked

regarding the Comic

like genuinely just 💀

[low gazelle]

they did

[arctic talon]

the Boys tv show is like

[low gazelle]

I remembber a few years bback at comic con

[arctic talon]

actually decent

[low gazelle]

I was a teen

and saw the bboys show

and not caring for it
