Fair

[opaque coyote]

Either way I like chipless for the tragedy of the clones

But I also like the chip for how tragic it is that they turned

That they essentially lost any sense of individuality forcefully

This scene is fucking awesome tho

https://youtu.be/Ijci7NisEgQ?si=c4Bl-7QtHZCS6psa

[shadow plover]

chip or no chip I actually don't see much of a difference if the line in the Episode II was "We modified their genetic structure to make them less independent than the original host. They are totally obedient, taking any order without question."
Chip just makes it so it is removable whereas genetic manipulation would be not

[spare osprey]

chip in the fact of the tragedy of it, but i liked the willingly follow for how grim it was

[opaque coyote]

It is tragic that for Rex, that his last thought before the chip fully takes over was how Fives was right all along

[spare osprey]

those old republic commando books did that whole period really well

like the fact a bunch of the 501st who attacked the temple weren't born on kamino

that was neat

🫀

[paper haven]

I miss the imperial commando game

[soft thunder]

Honestly deserves a remaster/remake/whatever

early 2000's squad controlling games are primed for a revival

The aged adolescents YEARN for solo play squad games

[green loom]

[opaque coyote]

I honestly just wish for Battlefield 40k done well

Especially since they can go all out in terms of being as dark as possible

You want war crime weapons?

We got war crime weapons

[dapper gyro]

Clone Commando really does have the cool factor.

[plush mason]

the chip+ the genetic modification is why they followed order 66 afaik

the chip also had other override orders

basically the chips could override their free will but only because they where made with a reduced amount

thats why the non clone troopers never had chips

[languid meadow]

Im glad you agree

[opaque coyote]

I think the idea in mind was to keep up in the themes of dead space in general

Basically how the Ishimura looks like a decaying corpse with it's ribs exposed

So the soldiers look like skeletons

I think the newer design is trying to make that more evident? Like the body has much more boney looking ridges

Honestly if they didn't have the weird grin

And instead just made it black

It could be much better

[dapper gyro]

I like the Ventura suit the most. Just my taste.

Nah if it was realistic he would have shot himself before then

or had his venmo or cashapp on a piece of cardboard

[opaque coyote]

Clones age 2x as fast

So this man might just be 30

He just looks old because of the faster aging

[crystal forum]

star wars nerds trying everything in their power to make storm troopers cool

[sour hornet]

It's not gonna happen.

GW isn't a good enough company to let it happen

The best Battlefield entries happened when EA let Dice do mostly what it wanted, GW is so hands on about what goes where and who's allowed to show up when, it would never get off the ground.

[dusk patrol]

There hasn’t been a lack of good games under GW, the issue is more convincing DICE or whoever to do it

And Dice also hasn’t made a good game in a minute

[gray umbra]

I would prolly play the shit outta a battlefield 40k clone

Imperial guard vs orks or something

But i guess ig vs traitor guard makes more sense

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I was thinking Imperial Guard vs Tau

[tough haven]

Would make the best fit I'd say

but it'd probably be guard versus traitor guard

cause its always gotta be imperium vs chaos

[tough haven]

This would be fun, but it would be crazy asymettrical, guard players would be playing a battlefield game, whereas orks would be playing a bullet hell/beat em up

[opaque coyote]

I mean it'd be cool

Especially since well

If there's a campaign (probably not but I can hope)

Then I think a cool one would be at the Tau side and Imperium side

And having both sides have

Such an overwhelmingly biased view that it's just funny

But the T'au actually have things like

Consistent food

You could actually just play up the virtues of the Tau and have the tyranny be subtle

While for the Imperium

Just have it be fully fucking awful

[tough haven]

Sounds cool, will never happen though

[opaque coyote]

I know

[tough haven]

There’s no space marines on either side in that matchup

[opaque coyote]

I am imagining a funny mission where you literally defend what's essentially

A concentration camp for xenos

[tough haven]

AND it’s xenos? It’s never getting off the cutting room floor

[opaque coyote]

Like it's the equivalent of being a Guard and you're defending Auschwitz

For the glory of the Imperium

Meanwhile you send a mother and a child off to be worked to death

Just the most reprehensible actions imaginable

[tough haven]

You gotta defend the conveyor belt that shocks the tau prisoners and feeds them into the volcano

[opaque coyote]

Yeah basically

[tough haven]

it serves no strategic or economic purpose

but its funny

and its a big middle finger to the T'au

God I really want T'au content describing in detail their first contact with each faction and their opinions on it

[opaque coyote]

Also if we ever have a scene where we get out of the trenches in a classic war

Have it so that if you try to go back you just instantly die

Blamed by a Commissar

[opaque coyote]

In contrast, the Tau version will have them actually be defending somewhat reasonable

Idk like

A military base

[winter vessel]

When they saw a hive city for the first time “Damn bitch you live like this?”

[opaque coyote]

While in the Imperium campaign. You get to defend the Volcano Conveyer belt

[opaque coyote]

I still find the Necron first contact funny as shit

And also the Deldar

Reading the fluff about their first contact with the Deldar I was basically like

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-wait-wait-wait-gif-23893070

At least they learned quickly

Idk if they ever met craftworlders tho

Although I do know that Tau are absolutely fucking confused about Wraithbone due to it

Basically being magic

[winter vessel]

For me it was them making contact with the Tyranids, funny as hell. which I think they tried, diplomacy more than once?

[opaque coyote]

Tbf there are hive mind races in their auxillaries

So maybe they were like

"Maybe they didn't hear us?"

They just didn't understand that the Tyranids just

Love eating

[tough haven]

Is it detailed much or is it the classic xenos 2 paragraphs

Like where are these detailed

[tough haven]

'ungry

Like I want them to all be as detailed as their first battles with the imperium

[opaque coyote]

There's been two instances of necrons and tau fighting together against tyranids, one time the necrons just left after the fighting was done and the other the necrons wiped out the tau too.

The T'au sept world of Uan'voss is almost overrun by a sudden onslaught of Tyranids, only to be rescued by the most unlikely saviors. Several legions of Necron from the Atun Dynasty fall upon the swarming bio-horrors, their Monoliths and Annihilation Barges laying down a crippling bombardment of fire while a spearhead of Triarch Praetorians cut their way deep into the monstrous horde. Though the swarm fight back with the fury of a wounded beast, the Tyranids are caught between the attacking Necrons and the firepower of the surviving T'au. As the last chitinous horrors crash down dead, the entire Necron army turns on its collective heel and departs without a word of explanation. The bewildered T'au can do little but give thanks for their mysterious rescue, little knowing they have just witnessed the servants of the Silent King.

When Hive Fleet Gorgon attacked Ka'mais in 075902.M41, an unexpected Necron fleet emerged from Ka'kais' dead moon and set about destroying the now outnumbered Tyranid ships. A day of celebration was declared on Ka'mais and Aun'taniel greeted the Necrons with great ceremony as they landed. Despite the welcome, the Necrons quickly slayed Aun'taniel and went on to harvest the planet.

Also

Uh

This

976.M41 THE FEAST OF STEEL: The Sautekh Dynasty expands into Tau space and invades the Kroot-held world of Caroch. Though the Kroot win the first engagements, their attempt to dine upon the living metal of their victims has hideous results as a nano-scarab plague sweeps through their ranks

[tough haven]

Yeah but where’s that from

Like I wish these were like actual books or short stories like on par of when they first encountered a dreadnought, not like just a random paragraph from a codex once

[opaque coyote]

The first story came from the 8th edition of the Tau codex

No idea where the feast came from

Also if there was a case of darwinism, those Kroot fucking proved it by trying to EAT NECRODERMIS

WHY??

[tough haven]

Unfortunately xenos, so no details, but imperial factions get down to what officer Sand Anuvverwave ate for breakfast on the morning of the 16th mutant uprising that month on the backwater world of Whogivesashit

[tough haven]

‘Ungry

[tough haven]

Also the exact manufacturing specs of the floodlight on the outer walls

[opaque coyote]

I also had the idea of a tech priest saying this

"It isn't magic. It's simply applying electricity to soothe the machine spirit along with prayers! See, not magic, perfectly logical."

"...that sounds like magic."

"I will servitorize you."

[plush mason]

that honestly reads like a convo between one and a menial

[opaque coyote]

Yeah basically

Either that or a Tech Priest is stranded on a Feudal world

The machine god has blessed Steve with his wisdom

[tall plinth]

Alright I need to get this straight

Are the ogryns in darktide lore accurate

[storm jungle]

Yes

Why wouldnt they be

[tall plinth]

I had one tell me that ogryns are much less smart than portrayed in this game

[storm jungle]

Yeah those people are grognards lol

Basically the issue stems from the fact that ogryns barely have had any proper lore/media coverage in 40k before Darktide, it very much doesnt make sense for an ENTIRE sub-species of humans spread across the GALAXY to have the same mental traits.

Ogryns at large go between either being mentally stunded or kept dumb as to be compliant to manipulation by Imperials, thats more or less the entire point of their existence as an abhuman in the Imperium.

The ones ingame also display about as many moronic tendencies as much as smart ones, theres a lot more to explore with an archetype like this beyond "haha they cant count" or "haha they are so stupid they are scared of tight places". People just assume all ogryns are braindead morons and expect it to say that way lol

[storm jungle]

Also another thing, if it wasnt lore accurate it wouldnt be in the game. GW meticulously still oversees any addition that gets put into the Darktide, Fatshark doesnt have as much free reign as people think they do lol

This game also had 8-9 Black Library writers make its dialogue/script

[tall plinth]

Wow

[storm jungle]

Yeah if they ask for a source tell those people to look at the credits lol

[queen laurel]

Honestly ogryns having similar mental faculties to an ork is a good one though of course they are not that smart

[tall plinth]

I mean the argument I got was:
“it wouldn’t be fun to play as a brain dead idiot who needed to be pointed at which button to press so they had to embellish a little”

[storm jungle]

Ogryns got the mental faculty of children, people just basically cannot cope with the fact that not every single ogryn across the galaxy is a braindead moron.

like again, we are talking about an entire sub-species of humans here in possibly the quadrillions

This is like saying every autistic person is inept and cant do anything lol

[tall plinth]

they’re that numerous???

[storm jungle]

Its humanity.

we are literally cockroaches

we breed like crazy lol

[queen laurel]

yeah it's like saying that black people can't swim because they are black people

You know damn well that's false

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

am i wrong?

[tall plinth]

if ogryns are that numerous why do I always feel like the only ogryn playing, I so rarely meet other ogryns

Half joke

[storm jungle]

Thats just luck so beats me

but yeah even as we speak a person across the planet dies and another one is born per second.

now spread that across the entire galaxy

[queen laurel]

you're playing a warhammer game centered on the Imperium which is literally the human supremacist

Ogryns are also falling into the category of acquired taste

[tall plinth]

Really?

[queen laurel]

some people like normal humans some people like big monsters

[tall plinth]

It was my first class and when I got it to level 30 I tried every other class and couldn’t like it

I want to be able to smack pox walkers across the room!!

[queen laurel]

Well because you like it there are also many other factors because well people like the look of humans you know stuff like that

[tall plinth]

I also got used to seeing the game from higher up

Felt weird to change

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats on purpose

they talked pre-release that after doing a almost to the floor POV character with bardin they wanted to try a giant lol

[queen laurel]

yeah it would be weird to be giant size and you know have the POV of a runt

[tall plinth]

@storm jungle thank you for your input : )

[storm jungle]

👍

Overall darktide ogryns are a touchy subject for some lore-numbskulls because they cannot see ogryns as anything being "morons that cant count"

[queen laurel]

me when i tell a lore numbskull that just like in real life that no two individuals are the same

[tall plinth]

Granted two ogryns from the same planet (as in the one they developed on) are more likely to have the same or similar level of intelligence, but like you’ve said the galaxy is a big place

[storm jungle]

Yeah and these ogryns arent from the same place either

All of them got also varying degrees of intelligence, none of them are exactly geniuses

[tall plinth]

And they have bonehead implants

[storm jungle]

Nope

Just the most stupidest one the Brawler does

and his is cooking his brain lol

[tall plinth]

Ohhh

[storm jungle]

remember Bonehead implants also dont make ogryns smarter, they just give them "enough" cognitive capabilities without rising above their station.

[tall plinth]

i see

[queen laurel]

even when his brain is cooked because of his implant he's still pretty smart when it comes to combat

After all he's not called a brawler for nothing

yes he is definitely the dumbest of the three

[tall plinth]

Sometimes it certainly feels like I’m the smartest one on the team

[storm jungle]

thats just your average darktide team comp

[tall plinth]

Brawler is my favorite because he’s the most endearing

He likes food

I like food

We’d get along

[queen laurel]

the wolfer watching as a homeless crack addict, a mentally unstable bomb, a crack shot and a literal giant pile of muscles overpower some of his finest man in nothing more than a span of 30 minutes

[tall plinth]

I’ve only ever played brawler, so I thought they all had bonehead implants

[queen laurel]

only he has the implant

Bodyguard and Bully is just that naturally smart

[storm jungle]

Yeah they do also talk about wanting an implant on and off

the other teammates usually reply with saying either thats a bad idea or that they dont need one lol

[queen laurel]

Yeah bodyguard wants one bully doesn't think he needs it

[tall plinth]

I had no idea the other two were “smarter”

[queen laurel]

Bully

he is pretty smart but he usually acts like this tough brute guy

because this is the imperium you say your mind it usually ends in the floor

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes also unlike most ogryn in media not really a good person lol

[queen laurel]

Yeah like staying on his good side is easy as long as you respect him but he will not hesitate to flatten you like a pancake the moment you say something he doesn't like

[tall plinth]

I could get along with the bodyguard and the brawler

The bully not so much

Grut me I’ve been playing so much darktide that whenever I discuss warhammer I read it in the brawlers voice

[queen laurel]

I sometimes speak in orkish

There's just something fun about their speaking

[tall plinth]

Oh I can’t speak with any good accent

I just hear it in my head

Whenever I try to speak an English accent I end up with fisherman/sailor from cartoons

[queen laurel]

Oh i don't do the cockney ork accent i just have the words

[tall plinth]

[shell barn]

I’m not sure how to completely ask this question or word it but it’s just a random thought

Slaneesh is excess. Khorne is their rival

Khorne is all about taking everyone’s skull. And blood. However they spill unending blood and take unending skulls. When does that border into Slaneesh territory?

[tough haven]

When you start prolonging the killings because you enjoy causing suffering

Khorne is about the moment, the killing blow, quickly and simply killing your foe in combat

They dont really care about the in between

Slaneesh is about doing everything perfectly, or about causing excessive harm to your enemies

[dusk patrol]

Intent matters for one to some degree

[tough haven]

It would be about perfecting every bladestroke or carving a poem to slaneesh into their flesh with each strike before they die

[dusk patrol]

But yes the fact that Slannesh is a broad concept is part of its power

[tough haven]

Intent is huge yes

[dusk patrol]

And a concern for other gods

There is a crossover of issue there

Chaos gods work on metaphysical concepts, even if you're killing in the name of the emperor, even though you're killing, so long as you devote it to the Emperor, or dont relish the violence too much, you arent feeding khorne, at least as little as you can

Thats why melee weapons affect daemons better, because its more symbolic striking an enemy down with your blade, than firing a gun from far away, it makes it more personal, more intentional

[opaque coyote]

It's why they're rivals.

Because their domain cross over with each other a lot

[opaque coyote]

Slaanesh Territory is like Imperial Inquisition said: Mainly about the martial mastery and/or the pleasure of tormenting your foes

Basically to put it in perspective

A Khornate Warrior will just kill you.

It doesn't matter how, they will if you stand in their way.

It can be brutal but it'll always be relatively quick. It will be skillful, but it will always be simple. They don't care about how perfect a chop is or even how quick. As long as you're dead, and blood pours out, it will be good enough.

And your skull will be taken for his throne.

A Slaaneshi Warrior won't just kill you. They will dodge gracefully, each parry perfectly timed.

They will make it a point not to get a single hit. Bragging about their skill. They will intentionally embarrass you. Making you look unskilled.

They will destroy your confidence, your ego, destroying you mentally before physically.

If they don't succeed, they will get frustrated.

And once you can't fight anymore

...

Well you better hope you can die before they torture you.

Or even worse than that.

Either way

They will have their fun.

[opaque coyote]

Honestly makes me wonder

And I am being completely unironic here.

If having a sword cannon would be more effective

Like... A cannon that shoots swords

Would that be better against a Daemon?

[storm jungle]

This yeah, its a point the codexes also actually covered to some degree since its a common question.

[plush mason]

wait was there a literal petition to get Abaddon killed off and replaced with literally any other character?

[storm jungle]

No?

Where did you hear this

[plush mason]

ofc i assume if there was it was just another one of those reddit petitions

[storm jungle]

I THINK you might be mixing it up with someone like Captain Tycho

aka someone who doesnt matter

[dusk patrol]

There’s probably been a petition to have Abbadon be given a bigger ass if we’re just taking any petition

[storm jungle]

and its probably in r40klore

[plush mason]

likely true

internet "petitions" like that dont mean shit

[storm jungle]

Yeah they dont.

The only "your decision matters" stuff GW does atm are those warzone tourneys where you decide the fate of some random ass planet that doesnt matter.

because as they learned in the past letting players choose bigger lore events is a disaster lol

[plush mason]

literally in a Weshammer video about the 10 most hated characters in 40k lol

[storm jungle]

God fuck off with that shit

LMAO

fucking weshammer

[plush mason]

the underlying theme of it is "the hate is mainly memes and people that only read the codex fluff"

[storm jungle]

Correct.

Abaddon is very much "hated" to some degree but its largely from the moronic mix of both sides of the playerbase (tabletop/lore-goers) who just dont read his lore.

Like hes not a deep character but he has about as much depth as most other loyalist characters people like to jerk off.

"I love kharn hes such a badass omg he says one liners and kills people!"

[plush mason]

yeah Wes even said he is only in the video because it fit the spirit of the list and that the hate is stupid as hell

[storm jungle]

Okay good.

My small respect for Was has been lifted

[plush mason]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPDK-7nOOEo

yup, TTS is very much the main source of the Cato hate

[storm jungle]

Its also important to remember TTS was made in the mid 2000's 40k era where Cato was very much an arrogant dickhead.

[plush mason]

yeah

[storm jungle]

the image they made of him from that through memes unfortunately stuck with the popularity of the show

[plush mason]

it was before he got fleshed out

[storm jungle]

Yeah exactly

they thought at the time making fun of Ward constantly got people to clap (it did)

[plush mason]

its actually similar to Abaddon's situation, really badly writen at first and later fleshed out and improved

[storm jungle]

yeah at the end of the day hes basically the Diet-Megatron of the setting post-30k with Horus so there isnt too much you can do with him aside from that lol

[plush mason]

yup

ofc the internet never forgets

and thats how we end up with characters like Cato and old Abby

[storm jungle]

Yeah its mostly just whatever at the end of the day, people are stupid and parrot shit

[plush mason]

yup

[dapper gyro]

To the last 10 years we have as many renditions/editions as the 20 years before that.

So many stupid things happened and many retcons were done.

At the moment, the SM people are trying to argue with specialist/subclass that each chapter should get since no one seems to agree with Saber.

[storm jungle]

That is largely just a GW thing

theres a deleted twitter thread where one of the devs listed almost half the shit GW didnt allow them to do for various reasons

(you can guess why said thread was deleted lol)

[dapper gyro]

Like IF gets to be tactical while UM gets heavy...

[storm jungle]

Yeah it just gets messy.

At the end of the day SM2 is a vehicle to sell Primaris

they dont want to muddle it up

[dapper gyro]

Salamander wankers are all pissed because they get an Eliminator instead of literally anything else.

It is honestly funny.

[storm jungle]

Cant make anyone happy alas

[plush mason]

ok, i had no idea they just dropped Erda like half way into the HH with 0 build up

[storm jungle]

Yeah read her lexi page

thats basically it lol

She appears and dies the next book or so

[plush mason]

yeah thats so lame

[plush mason]

wait but she was a perpetual

[storm jungle]

Yeap.

[plush mason]

so she cant be truly killed

[storm jungle]

She went like full jojo and fought 4 greater daemons at once lol and had some super magic power not tied to the warp lol

[storm jungle]

She was killed by an athame blade

so shes dead-dead until the plot wants her back in the future prob

[plush mason]

wait so the word bearers all just happen to have a blade that can perma kill a purpetual?

[storm jungle]

Look just dont question it

[plush mason]

lmao

[storm jungle]

[plush mason]

fair

[storm jungle]

Its... just convoluted

the entirety of the Siege is a mess

[plush mason]

i can see that

between this stuff with Erda and this John dude it sounds like a real clusterfuck

[storm jungle]

Yeah any confusions just skim the lexi

[plush mason]

and like, why the fuck was she the maiden mother and crone?

[storm jungle]

because motherhood symbology

or some shit

[plush mason]

ofc that specific goddess has been used in many fictions

[storm jungle]

yep-yep

[plush mason]

so not too surprising on second though

[storm jungle]

yeah 40k loves basic mythological symbology stuff

like how Amar Astarte made the Astartes lol

[plush mason]

the purpetals themselves are just weird and confusing

[storm jungle]

they go DEEP

probably one of the most universally hated parts of the Heresy by some people

[plush mason]

they are nether human or xeno nor warp being

[storm jungle]

No they are human

just "evolved" lol

[plush mason]

evolved to the point of not being human lol

[dapper gyro]

When in doubt, blame Tzeentch.

[plush mason]

when in doubt stop thinking about it

[storm jungle]

Both of these are very true

[plush mason]

this Wyrdmake guy is on the other end of the spectum, a character made to be hated and done very well

[pine wedge]

yeah it was an extraordinarily dumb decision to add a different group of super important immortal people into the mix of the HH/siege books

just focus on the primarchs like goddamn

[dusk patrol]

Saber's going for the unconvential choices for the chapters, kinda respect it.

Also: Redditors learning chapters don't just use the stock stereotype preferred tactic all the time and can branch out.

[plush mason]

how dare you imply redditors can learn

[dusk patrol]

Truuuuuuuuuue

Also people keep saying the Imperial Fist should be heavy, mfer Imperial Fists would definitely be Tactical marine if any.

They’re the most “standard marine chapter” of them all.

Also there’s more chapters than classes, they can share

https://tenor.com/view/only-game-heff-be-mad-gif-5038541

[plush mason]

people thinking that likely only know of the meme imperial fists

aka, fortify fortify fortify

[dusk patrol]

These people probably don’t even know that Raven Guard deploy terminators and full frontal assaults when they need to and often

A preference for something is just that, a preference. Chapters, for the most part, obviously not all, use all options we know of if needed

They just have tendencies and preferred choices

[plush mason]

yup

[storm jungle]

Thats about as worse of a trade but lol

[dusk patrol]

I was trying to explain to a dude the other day who was trying to tell some new guy how Iron Hands wouldn’t have Reivers

Like, yes they would mfer

There are sneaky boy iron hands

[plush mason]

well i mean, they wouldnt if you go by TT :P

[dusk patrol]

It’s just not their main thing and it’s not the typical approach

[plush mason]

but thats because no one sane uses the Reivers on TT

[dusk patrol]

This was a lore question but yeah TT Reivers are

Well at least they’re ok in KT

That’s something

[plush mason]

i know it was a joke

[dapper gyro]

Infiltrator is the must for any SM TT.

IF is a legion focus on firepower, but they need cover and protection, which is why, on TT, IF army with bladeguard are stronger. They have mobile cover to actually shoot at things.

However, the SM game players want to combine the two, so there is the Gravis Intercessor...

[pine wedge]

It wouldn't make the worldbuilding all kinds of stupid, at least

Everything I know about pre-Imperial Terra and people has been against my will

That information and those characters shouldn't exist

[plush mason]

lmao

[scenic bolt]

give it a decade before we get wh20k

[plush mason]

oh lord, going back to the DAOT would be wild

and possibly a mistake

[tough haven]

I don’t know, how does that work metaphysically?

Maybe the user would have to really truly think that it’s the best weapon against daemons?

[celest dome]

Just do 1k

[tough haven]

I had an idea for a nightclub/art gallery in the lower hive that’s an old repurposed diamantine mine, for the wealthy who are “slumming it” and for a select few commoners who’ve earned an invitation either through money or attention, but I’m struggling on how that might look, I want it to look fancy, but like underhive fancy, as in “holy shit the walls aren’t rusty”

And trying to find a good mix between its original architecture and its new purpose

[celest dome]

Rough hewn walls, with accented golden pillars, the arts range from Servitor Sculptures to paintings

[tough haven]

My vague floor plan is you step down some stairs, past the guards into the entrance, which leads you to a large statue gallery of anything from stone statues of the emperor to human bone carvings and Aeldari bas-reliefs, directly connected to the gallery is a spa area and nightclub section

And then through a secret passage behind a banner in the staff passages opens up to an elevator that takes you down to a xenotech auction house in the actual mine section

[tough haven]

This is a really good idea

Like carved out quarry walls with like gilded marble pillars and flooring?

[tough haven]

Generally speaking Would a Ranger willingly die trying to recover a soul stone? Or would they attempt to flee and try again if things get dire?

Not really sure if rangers display the same willingness to throw their lives away for soul stones as some craft worlders

[storm jungle]

Depends on the Ranger, they are outcasts first and foremost.

No use to really lay down your life if you can get another chance to retrieve it in a future oppoturnity either

[tough haven]

What if it’s about to change locations or go missing?

[storm jungle]

Same deal.

Theres excerpts where Eldar groups/hosts sometimes wait almost a century or more to recover some artifact lol

[tough haven]

That’s true

They can just kinda wait for whoever has it to die

[storm jungle]

Yeah basically picture yourself a upstanding smart human trying to recover your stuff from a den of gorillas

your main thought would be "well maybe they will lose interest" or "I can wait and get it later" lmao

[tough haven]

I’m just trying to determine how urgent it should be for this character to recover a soul stone of a close comrade

[storm jungle]

Always put yourself in their shoes first, rushing ahead and dying needlessly wouldnt really help his cause at all

[tough haven]

Trying to kinda use the outcast in wraithbone Phoenix as a template

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats what i was also thinking

(even if the ending of that book was dogshit)

[tough haven]

What was their motivation for moving to get it at that time and almost dying?

[tough haven]

Eh it was ok

Rest of the book was peak though

[storm jungle]

All that just to get eaten by a daemon out of nowhere, it was terrible

Yeah I know, its what pissed me off

the book was great until that point

[tough haven]

True but grimdark and all

[storm jungle]

[tough haven]

Was not expecting that

[storm jungle]

Yeah but its a gutpunch with no setup

[tough haven]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

why does the eldar character need to go through that aside from "womp womp"

anyway that aside

[storm jungle]

It was an ancient heirloom/artifact

probably important to whichever craftworld she hailed from

[tough haven]

Wish it would have been like some rich noble instead to establish it’s dangerous

[storm jungle]

Same

[tough haven]

Yeah but like what you said, why did they move on it now, compared to waiting

[storm jungle]

Because some humans discovered it in a lot less fortified space (a literal junkyard of a ship)

its like hitting a bank truck in transit

the "perfect oppoturnity" kind of thing

Otherwise it'd probably end up in some governor's case or somewhere harder to get compared to the slums

[tough haven]

That’s sort of what I’m dealing with, the soul stone (and accompanying armor) is up for auction rn at a relatively low security xenotech auction, with several nobles from the spires present, so if they don’t recover it now it could be far harder to recover

Along with other Aeldari artifacts

But the stone is the main concern as the loss of their comrades from their previous aspect was the driving force for this ranger to become an outcast, to find each one of their stones to return them to the circuit

But like if four homeless people (the party) attack her, she’d probably be like “yeah I can take them”

Or maybe it would be the opposite? Like “I’m too superior for this shit”

I suppose I could determine their reaction on a check, like if their resolve is strong enough to put up with this bullshit

[storm jungle]

Again the easiest way to think about it is putting yourself in their shoes lol

always take the smartest route when dealing with what are essentially a pack of racoons

[rocky gale]

Yoo just watched the 40k Secret Level

https://tenor.com/view/astarte-secret-level-warhammer-40k-space-marine-2-headbutt-gif-1103015128000497689

Me trying to get to the food at the family gathering

[plush mason]

the rejects being raccoons implies they wash obsessively :P

[storm jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaLI2A5CklU

Fixed version

[rocky gale]

Not watched all the Secret levels though, just 40k and D&D

D&D one was better

[dapper gyro]

Psyker gets carried by the Orgryn bros. Accurate.

[plush mason]

oh lords the secret level intro has a gamecube homage

[tough haven]

Yup, more coherent

[rocky gale]

Dunno what they put in the D&D one but it had me getting all misty eyed

[plush mason]

yeah that was good, and a good way to start off imo

also a Goliath paladin is a horrifying concept

boarder line immortal

[tough haven]

A actual story, though basic, characters with connections

The 40K one was just “look, big guy shoot little guy” except you can’t see shit half the time

Like I know it’s supposed to be bolterporn but I literally had no clue what they were doing or why for half of it besides “Look! It’s the guy from the video game!”

Couldn’t imagine someone who doesn’t know 40K

[plush mason]

ok yeah the SM episode is just pure powerfantasy

Titus shoulderchecking through a whole ass buggy

[rose thorn]

Realized they might tie Beasts of chaos into the chaos dwarf faction when it releases

With characters like shator

[plush mason]

that daemon whatever it was looked like something right out of Diablo lol

[rose thorn]

Lmao

I think it’s people mutated by the bull god of industry or something

[plush mason]

not that

[rose thorn]

Oh sorry

[plush mason]

the secret level

[rose thorn]

The cow level?

[plush mason]

nah the amazon show

[rose thorn]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/age-of-sigmar/images/f/fb/Shar'tor_the_Executioner_Zharr_Goroth_Forge_World_miniature.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170212122418

[rose thorn]

Sorry

Lmao

[plush mason]

the 40k short

[rose thorn]

The blood letters?

[plush mason]

it was good but pure SM powerwank

[outer wave]

Its pure bolter porn but its basically what Astartes was so

[plush mason]

yeah

ok the pac-man short is not at all what i expected

[rigid dune]

So what is stopping mechanicus from just making thier own space marines?

[arctic talon]

Laws

[dapper gyro]

Inquisition and high lords.

[arctic talon]

also they do have equivelents

in lore

Mid ranked Myrmidons > marines generally

Thallax are a marine equivelent

[storm jungle]

Literally every reason under the sun

read the lore you fucking weeb

[dapper gyro]

Even among themselves, many of them think of creating biological being as insult to the machine god.

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

but yeah Myrmidons are like

better then marines generally

there's just a lot less of them

[storm jungle]

The funniest part is

my first reaction reading that was

[arctic talon]

and also myrmidons are like

very unhinged

[storm jungle]

"They's say space marines are cringe and big robot servitors better"

[arctic talon]

they love murder lol

I mean the techpriest smh

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Big murder servitors good

as well

but too dumb to do what marine do

they no have the brain power smh

[storm jungle]

the other thing is like

space marines contrary to popular belief are not the peak form of waging war lol

they are literally tankman commandoes

[rigid dune]

There is no limit to how much a ork can grow correct?

[storm jungle]

Yes

[rigid dune]

They just get bigger from fighting?

[arctic talon]

yes

[storm jungle]

Yeah orks grow gradually the more they fight

the problem is

they die

a lot

only a few warbosses actually properly survive constant campaigns

[rigid dune]

Are they farmable? I've heard that they are based and spread around due to spores?

[arctic talon]

yeah most warbosses die

in their first WAAAAAAAAAAGH

[rose thorn]

Ignoring when they did

Of course

[arctic talon]

Orks could be farmed for food theoretically

ork meat just sucks

to eat

Squigs are tasty

but if you have squigs you'll have orks

[rigid dune]

Would tyranids care about that?

[arctic talon]

only one hive fleet engages in "farming"

[rigid dune]

Like why don't the tyranids just farm orks?

[storm jungle]

Because why would they

[arctic talon]

^

[storm jungle]

orks dont provide all the shit the ywant

[arctic talon]

The galaxy is an all you can eat buffet

lol

[storm jungle]

this is like asking "why dont we just infinitel farm tomatoes and nothing else"

lol

would you like eating 1 kind of food that provides largely nothing to you all day

also what fucking hivefleet is gonna sit on a single planet for years waiting for orks to grow

[arctic talon]

Tiamet

but they have a lot of worlds for "farming"

[rigid dune]

Isn't that what they are doing with the cults tho? just sit and wait?

[arctic talon]

no

the cults infiltrate a world

and they send out a beacon

they ring the dinner bell

[storm jungle]

^

Cults are a literal corrosive parasite to help their invasion

they arent about cultivating or feeding them, they are just extra help

[dapper gyro]

Tyrannids consume the organic material, assimilate to be more precise.

So do the Orks.

Eventually, the raw organic materials will run out.

[storm jungle]

Its not even that tbh

its just not viable

Tyranids absolutely consume every single biological thing a planet has, down to its atmosphere and multi-process that to all the stuff they got as units/can make

Orks would provide basically almost nothing aside from base "meat"

[dapper gyro]

Yes, however, there is that Kryptman? story...

[arctic talon]

They also consume a lot of like

non organic material

mmmmm tasty metal

and some rocks

[storm jungle]

Thats less consumption and more the Nids trying to kill the Orks continously

and it completely backfired as the Nids won the campaign

its an entire can of worms

well that and they also consume the planets they defeated the orks on too so lol

[arctic talon]

Warzone Octarius

is my favorite self inflicted shitshow

[dapper gyro]

That's what I meant above. Eventually, everything are consumed, there is no forever farming.

The tyrannids got a fleet, while the orks got less than a world.

[plush mason]

the imperium has a long list of self inflicted shitshow lol

[arctic talon]

Warzone octarius is my favorite one though

lol

because if the imperium didn't start poking at it

it would have been fine LOL

[dapper gyro]

Because it is dumb

[plush mason]

agreed mainly because its an unmitigated nid W and nids are my fav faction

[dapper gyro]

(not from a narrative pov)

[plush mason]

ah the Armored Core episode

[tough haven]

Which one is that?

[arctic talon]

Tiamet

[arctic talon]

the one thats not canon to any AC continuity

[plush mason]

they are just sitting on one world and doing something and collecting biomass from near by systems to make it

whatever it is has the imperium worried iirc

[plush mason]

still more faithful than the pac-man episode

[arctic talon]

oh I don't have an issue with it

I just think its funny

[tough haven]

The pac man episode was at least interesting, a cool twist

[plush mason]

agreed

did not expect them to do anything like that

[dapper gyro]

The AC looks like the one from 6. So I think it is just a story of some random merc fighting in a random planet.

[arctic talon]

Its not from AC6

because the booster is from AC4

or rather For answer

[storm jungle]

Its like me making my farm on minecraft

and all my friends raid it and eat my crops

guh

[plush mason]

yeah no evidence of coral

[arctic talon]

Also iirc via Word of God its confirmed not to be in the AC6 continuity

[plush mason]

makes sense, AC has many continuities

[arctic talon]

Found it

its its own continuity

[plush mason]

yeah

[dapper gyro]

Oh well

[plush mason]

i have heard that the president of Fromsoft is planning to leave the souls games to other directors and focus on AC for now

[dapper gyro]

AC has like 4 continuities already.

[plush mason]

ye

[dapper gyro]

Between AC4 and AC5, there is a blur line of same/different continuity

[arctic talon]

AC4 and 5 are the same one

[dapper gyro]

Because of the Spirit of Motherwill

[arctic talon]

also the final boss is literally a NEXT

[plush mason]

i wonder if the next AC game will feature the NEXTs of ACFA

[arctic talon]

this fucking thing lol

imo without a doubt cements it as the same timeline

[dapper gyro]

It is just that there is so few dots of that connect the 2 before then.

Aside from some of the code names like Raven, Nine-ball/Nightfall, etc.

[arctic talon]

yeah thats true

tbh AC1 and 2 are def the same timeline

and 3+ all its sequals is its own I think?

[dapper gyro]

AC1 and 2 are the only true direct sequence.

[dusk patrol]

Uh I’m pressure sure all the AC games are in sequence.

[plush mason]

from what i know Raven has been used as the name for all AC mercs and the callsign for specific mercs a few times across the games

[dusk patrol]

Assassins Creed is a series

[arctic talon]

[dusk patrol]

Although they’ve basically given up on the modern day element

Thank god

[plush mason]

the Etzio saga would like a word

[dusk patrol]

I mean they technically all are

[plush mason]

they are more of a spin off really

[dusk patrol]

Even for Ezio it’s chronological

[spare osprey]

INCORRECT

cause now we know why the episode was like that

with that new pac man game they showed off at the game awards

[plush mason]

oh

[dusk patrol]

Smh not calling it Pac Man

[plush mason]

ikr

[dusk patrol]

Cowards

[spare osprey]

so it's acksually pretty accurate

[plush mason]

oh yeah that was

[dusk patrol]

Unironically biggest surprise of the awards to me

That and Statler and Waldorf

[plush mason]

but the rest wasnt but thats only for the original games

[dusk patrol]

Who killed it

[spare osprey]

loooooved statler and waldorf

[plush mason]

damn, makes me regret not watching it

[spare osprey]

as was snoop dogg and twenty one pilots

strange line up

[dusk patrol]

They showed up a couple times

Honestly very solid lines

[spare osprey]

wonder how much they paid harrison ford to be there lol

[dusk patrol]

Props to Geoff for letting them roast him like that

[dusk patrol]

Probably through Bethesda

But he also does like Indy

[spare osprey]

true true

[dusk patrol]

Indy and Bladerunner were his two things he loved the most

He doesn’t like Star Wars cause all he got ever asked about

[plush mason]

gods, i have missed these too hecklers

[dusk patrol]

They really should show up at more things

[plush mason]

ikr

[storm jungle]

Good, fuck him

[dapper gyro]

Imagine EA paid for an episode of Secret Level for Dead Space.

[storm jungle]

N E E D

But knowing EA they'd go "nah cant waste money on a bad IP"

[plush mason]

.....

[dusk patrol]

They’ll dig it up again for a sequel eventually here

[storm jungle]

Hopefully they do

Dead Space is goated

idgaf if it doesnt sell enough

i need DS content

https://tenor.com/view/isaac-clarke-skate3-isaac-skate-dead-space-make-us-whole-gif-27485812

[plush mason]

its in the "in case of emergency break glass" box

for when they need to make bank quickly

[storm jungle]

way too close to reality lol

[dapper gyro]

They have that and Mass Effect

[plush mason]

lets face it, most of the major publishers have a chest of those just laying around waiting to be open

[dapper gyro]

After the Dragon Age this year, that one is gone.

[plush mason]

ME is the last hope for Bioware

[storm jungle]

for EA its above the trophy cases of all the studios they murdered

[plush mason]

yup

if ME tanks like DA did bioware will be the latest addition

[storm jungle]

but

then WHERE will i get my alien NSFW

[shadow plover]

Didn't Andromeda tank already

or was it so forgettable you already forgot it existed

[plush mason]

that was a spin off

so ME4 is the make or break for most people

and i liked VG, but i do not doubt that it lost money

[crystal forum]

message me any time

Have you heard of Diesel knights?

[shadow plover]

You can just look at the Halo Wars or Halo 2 Anniversary cinematics, those are made by the same studio

[spare osprey]

well no duh

they even had captain cutter's actor from halo wars 2 in the unreal tourney episode

[rocky gale]

Halo's unfortunately probably got an exclusive deal with Paramount

[dapper gyro]

Me on my Halo channel, we all lost hope for Halo.

[spare osprey]

heard, haven't seen much

[tough haven]

There’s not much to see yet besides a decent technical beta, but I think it’s got potential to be the titanfall content we’ll never get otherwise

[opaque coyote]

Still a movie that unironically scares me

[tough haven]

Its terrifying and amazing

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I know the ending is debated about to this day

Whether one of them is the thing or both of them

But personally I actually prefer none of them

Like The Thing is dead

But the both are so paranoid

So afraid

That they just sit there and die

Unsure and unknowing whether The Thing is dead

It cost them everything to defeat it

Their friends, their sanity, their sense of safety

[arctic talon]

It’s neither iirc

[opaque coyote]

And in the end, their lives.

[arctic talon]

You can see both their breaths

[opaque coyote]

Also the 2011 prequel

Wasn't bad

Not close the original but it isn't like

A blight to it

I also really liked the ending sequence since it's a smooth transition to the beginning of the original film

[soft thunder]

So in SM2 is ther any lore on MAgos Galeo? I have a lot of questions

Like is he the big machine chair or the generic techpriest sitting in it

[arctic talon]

Magos Galeo is the dude

Though he might be fused to it

[opaque coyote]

Maybe both

Maybe the machine chair is like

A storage of his memories

Like he sits there and basically stores what he did day to day

[soft thunder]

external brain hard drive

and gamer chair

I like him he's a homie

[opaque coyote]

Literally just this but mechanical:

[young pecan]

Was that a tell of the Thing?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

They were really cold so no breath

[young pecan]

I thought I remembered seeing one of them without their jewellery (earring) but I could be wrong

[arctic talon]

Or weren’t breathing

[opaque coyote]

The fact that it's still talked about to this day

Proves that they did someTHING right

ba dum tss

Seriously though

[soft thunder]

great practical effect tend to have that effect

[opaque coyote]

Also the fact that the transformations are fucking horrific

[young pecan]

I do not understand how publishers are so surprised that when you let a team go wild and actually be creative, that audiences love it

Why is it so... alien to them :^)

[opaque coyote]

Although tbf The Thing was actually panned by critics when it released

Too Nihilistic

But considering the things that happened afterwards. Now it's considered to be a masterpiece

Reminds me of that one quote

"You guys might not be ready for it, but the kids will love it."

[dapper gyro]

Most of the horror movies at the time are so bad.

The critics back then were following the trench of what was popular, not what is timeless, since The Thing is one of the very few films of that era to hold up well.

[rocky gale]

Unfortunately the prequel movie was butchered by the studio during the edit

[plush mason]

its a horror movie
