Looks like all individual releases of the old Dominion stuff to me

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/eomz7man/sunday-preview-the-orruk-warclans-get-ready-to-unleash-their-waaagh/

[dusk patrol]

Idk they have their main baby face Guilliman jobbing way too much imo, they need to book him stronger.

Now the Lion, that’s some proper baby face booking.

[storm jungle]

He needs some better Heels thats for sure

"IT WAS ME GUILLIMAN"

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mc-mahon-its-me-stone-cold-steve-austin-wwe-raw-gif-16769754

[dusk patrol]

He’s got all that history with Lorgar from the 30k Era but they won’t re-sign him, like come on. We all know you’re gonna do it eventually.

[humble shoal]

Re-sign magnus

[dusk patrol]

They better let him at least fued with Fulgrim

You can’t have the big of an acquisition and not use that history

[humble shoal]

I was thinking sign magnus as a baby face, wolf as a heel

Subvert expectations

[dusk patrol]

I dunno they already did that during the Heresy Era

Magnus is with the Tzeentch faction now so it’s kinda hard to give him a face turn

[humble shoal]

Hence why the audience wouldnt expect it a second time

[dusk patrol]

The chaos vortex strikes again

[humble shoal]

have the founding grey knight man become good magnus

[rose thorn]

They got the kruleboyz grots hero

[rocky gale]

Which one is that?

One of these guys?

[tough haven]

yo @storm jungle yout got proof of yarrick dying of old age, trying to argue with someone saying that angron really did kill him

[storm jungle]

Lmao the angron shit is meme lore

also yeah hold on

[vagrant fox]

Is he even confirmed dead, rather than just not being mentioned in the codex?

[storm jungle]

Hes only "told" to be dead

but the account on the guard codex is EXTREMELY propagandified

literally "Oh he DIED we WEEP for our great hero"

[storm jungle]

TLDR: We got no idea how he died, this is THE only thing saying hes dead from the 10th Guard Codex and its extremely propaganda'd

its very likely filler and he'll return with a new model at some point with a "my death was great exaggerated"

[rose thorn]

first

[arctic talon]

God the new dude looks so ass

[rose thorn]

but kruleboyz are gonna be so fuckin bad lol

[arctic talon]

I’m sorry I just can’t with his pose lol

[rose thorn]

i know, i lobve him

[arctic talon]

GW had the pose figured out back in 2015 and then they made the pose worse

[arctic talon]

I like the sculpt and stuff aside from the pose but he seems like a total nightmare to repose

[rose thorn]

its such a bad model i adore him

[arctic talon]

Every day I thank god I’m not a kruleboyz player/j

Instead I play sylvaneth and suffer a different cruel fate

[rose thorn]

lmAo

[rocky gale]

Meanwhile

[opaque coyote]

My headcanon is that Cain faked his death.

...

Mainly so that he can actually retire.

[queen laurel]

Yep they only got that guy as already said but they did get new cool towers

And of course the endless spells

[outer wave]

Big Orruk Toes...... as an endless spell....

[queen laurel]

That's foot of gork

You absolute psychopath

[dusk patrol]

Foot stuff magic

[outer wave]

Foot smell magic

[raven stone]

wait so do Orks have literal foot fetishes
/MondayMorningShitposts.

[outer wave]

Nah, the most they admire about the foot is its capability to stomp on people's heads

[plush mason]

Nork's last name is pronounced dedd-og right?

[crystal forum]

ayo shrodinger new custom pfp?

somebody in this channel with actual original pfp holy cow

[outer wave]

Yeah a friend drew it for me!

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1262794796418728016/1321410993552887821/rinwoo.png?ex=67731223&is=6771c0a3&hm=8e06b0a93c46e85beca2eaf9ec8858cab2505798a1b9aadc4a058bafe75bb356&

She is so cute.....

[crystal forum]

adorable

a little serial killer

[outer wave]

Sadly not an OC

She's from a Chinese gacha game and she's very cute and terrifying

[opaque coyote]

You most likely know who fucking drew this

But if you don't, Vanripper.

Literally just this photo

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-meme-tired-bored-jaded-done-with-this-gif-16361914

[outer wave]

Was it him? I thought it was someone that impersonated his style well?

[green loom]

The artist is called Lazer Groove

That's just mimicking the van ripper style

Mostly for faces

[opaque coyote]

Oh

[crystal forum]

nothing wrong with inspiration

[green loom]

Didn't say as such

Just not van ripper

[opaque coyote]

I might be stupid

Cause Vanripper also did 40k stuff

Give me a sec lemme double check

[green loom]

I know a Disney artist that did 40k stuff

[opaque coyote]

Nah yeah it's Lasergroove

[green loom]

This was an actual Disney artist

Dylan Ekren, worked on Big Hero 6 iirc

[crystal forum]

i want the after image

[rose thorn]

the terrain rules are unironcially amaizng btw lmao

the krule boyz one is utter insanity

[austere kernel]

Lore tidbit-The reason we worship the machine god is because the god emperor was not powerful enough during the golden ages to destroy him. so instead the last remaining C'tan was imprisoned by our emperor underneath the sands of Mars.

To which we worship to this day as the Omnissiah.

The reason we dont use Ai is also during this era.
when warp storms appeared the first beings to turn were the Ai created beings. as they were never designed to fight against anything internally changing.
The Ai slaughtered the people of mars all while the atmospheric generators failed, soon to be destroyed. causing the planet to fall into its pre-golden world state of a wasteland.

Over time, the survivors after the massacre spent time learning "ancient" secret in order to alter themselves to be able to survive mars, and defeat its Ai enemy.

In time they would become the cult of the machine. As we know them today. Believing that all flesh is inferior due to the direct events on mars.

Thats all ^~^ Happy Holidays!

[queen laurel]

Damn at least the Kruleboyz got a tower W

[rose thorn]

Yeah. But they made the rules worse

For the whole army

[soft thunder]

Is there a difference between a tech-adept and tech-priest? Like are adepts imperial-based and basically a lower level tech-priest? not finding any clear answers online

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's seems that tower will be a must bring

[dusk patrol]

Tech adept is a step lower yeah

It’s a step to becoming a Tech Priest and eventually a Magos

[soft thunder]

ok trawling through Dark Heresy 1st ed to get some answer and ya FS and the BL writers are spot on w/ all the stuff being pulled from it.

[thick cedar]

Heres a random question

How many space marines would it take to liberate the half life universe version of earth from the combine?

[dusk patrol]

Idk it doesn’t seem that hard

Some random MIT nerd does a pretty good job by himself

Iirc the actual combine presence on earth is pretty small

[storm jungle]

Also its literally a skeleton crew.

like the Combine forces on earth are essentially servitors on a janitorial duty making sure everything runs smoothly.

its why Eli says if actual Combine forces arrived through the portal in EP2 "We wouldnt last 7 minutes."

[storm jungle]

Also probably no dice.

The Combine are like the Imperium and Tau on steroids, the fact that they took over earth with the most minimum of military forces in 7 hours should probably tell you something

Epistle 3 also makes clear in the grand scheme of things we largely do not matter and are just some "backwater world" to them.

[thick cedar]

The Combine only really showed up after earthw as getting swarmed with aliens though

earth wasnt in the best of shape

[storm jungle]

Its not really "swarmed", the Xen wildlife was largely an hazardous inconvenience to them, we werent on the brink of destruction.

[thick cedar]

https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Seven_Hour_War

[storm jungle]

the game very much makes it clear the Combine won through their own military prowess and left a skeleton crew to run things themselves, the 7 Hour War is kinda suppose to more or less show that

[thick cedar]

it was a severely weakened earth though, is what i mean

[storm jungle]

I mean yeah but also:

defeated all of its armed forces

even that would realistically take months or a year

7 Hours is hilariously small to show you the opposite lol

[thick cedar]

Honestly the combine is what the tau shouldve been lol

[storm jungle]

the Combine like I said are just Imperium-Tau so that checks out lol

[thick cedar]

got back into half life lore and theyre extremely brutal

[storm jungle]

the problem is they run shit better than the Imperium

since their faction is one massive "organism"

its what makes what they did to Earth absolutely terrible

[spring cairn]

the combine is on a whole other level

they're incomprehensibly powerful and vast

[storm jungle]

Yeah they are literally called the Universal Union for a reason

but we are also largely left with guesses/assumptions

[spring cairn]

uhm actually

that's a fan name

they have no actual name in our language

[storm jungle]

Wait didnt Breen say that shit in a broadcast

🤔

wait he did but he uses it as a word

And only the universal union that small minds call 'The Combine' can carry us there.

Lmao

[spring cairn]

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

[storm jungle]

Yeee thats the one

okay i didnt misremember, the context is just different

[spring cairn]

Mark Laidlaw said they're not called that in a tweet too

it's mostly used by ppl who larp in gmod

[storm jungle]

Eh close enough

[spring cairn]

but yeah basically the combine is so big that the organisation itself became self sustainable in term of leadership with no other purpose aside from expanding just to maintain their own G I R T H

[storm jungle]

Yeah its why I like the angle Laidlaw mentioned of how they are so big that they could lose Earth and not even care at all for the most part lol

Epistle 3 had some real doomer shit 💀

[plush mason]

the funny thing is many scientists say that any alien civilization able to reach earth would have the power to do this in even less time

[thick cedar]

Its why its so funny reading schzio theories about how clouds are actually alien ships indisguise and are in our government to control us

like bruh

come on now

[storm jungle]

Pretty much, unless its a coverup trust me if aliens want us to know they're coming we will know lol

we literally send "HEY, WE ARE HERE" spouting probes out into deep space

[plush mason]

ye

[storm jungle]

which idk if its a good idea but fuck it I guess

[plush mason]

the simple fact is earth and humans are just not worth the time of any type 2 or 3 civilizations that may exist

[storm jungle]

Yep that too lol

[tight stratus]

I had a dream about playing darktide last night. We had 3 grimoires to get and the entire team had all 3 grims and I was super happy. But then my teammates wouldn't stop fighting the trash mobs on the way to extraction,

And they kept getting trapped / immediately downed but they'd respawn exactly where the netter got them ready to be upped.

I was using the new relic sword to take on the endless horde but somewhere along the line it turned into a giant pair of scissors with a special alternate fire to snip enemies in half which was slow

I managed to get them up and we extracted albeit without the grims.

...

Is there anywhere in the warhammer universe were giant fucking scissors are used as weapons? Sounds like it'd be a Dark Eldar thing

[queen laurel]

I mean not really the closest i can think of to this is an ork power claw which is a giant power field coated hydraulic shears

[tight stratus]

bad ass

I love the orc checkboard design, I'm really happy the mastery skin for the laspistol for some reason features that checkboard design

[queen laurel]

Yeah it is very cool but on another note a giant power scissor can happen

Power weapons can literally take every shape you can imagine

[tight stratus]

I'm new to the lore but I still cant get over noisemarines and them using guitars

so scissors doesnt seem quite so silly in comparison

[dusk patrol]

Power shears are a thing one sec

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Bulkhead_Shears

also these although idk if they’re powered but

Also breaching augurs are power weapons

[lofty mason]

It’s funny because I saw a lot of people on the Internet saying that the Combine shouldn’t be able to conquer Earth in the first place with an army that can be easily beaten by a single man with a crowbar; not knowing that the force present in HL2 are just malnourished cops larping as military.

Like, do you even play the game, or understand anything Eli said?

[celest dome]

There is also these

Rock Cutter

[dusk patrol]

I’m pretty sure there’s Orks with power cutters too

Not quite there but. I’m fairly certain in books there’s some mentions.

https://tenor.com/view/toy-story-buzz-lightyear-i-dont-believe-that-mans-ever-been-to-medical-school-gif-10225146

[queen laurel]

Oh those are Power Snappas

They are basically weaker power claws

They're used for surgery

Mainly

[dusk patrol]

Yeah it’s not the same thing like I said, but it’s another example of less conventional uses

Especially with Orks and GSC we see more improvised or Jerry-rigged stuff a lot.

[storm jungle]

Yeah like its funny at first before you realise that yeah the "force" on earth is essentially a glorified servitor contingent lol

its something a lot of people miss since the narrative doesnt grab your neck and go "HEY LISTEN"

[storm jungle]

[tight stratus]

and its gene stealers my beloved

[dapper gyro]

Well, if you are brave enough...

[dapper gyro]

To use that thing

[sharp pollen]

is there a power electro-shaving machine?

[storm jungle]

honestly probably

[tight stratus]

I mean theres a code in the imperium for everything right?

why not a power everything

[storm jungle]

expensive

💵

[sharp pollen]

^

actually yeah, otherwise zealots would put jelly on their bread with relic kitchen knifes

[storm jungle]

Hmm

[tight stratus]

Dentists love the free cash they get after those pyschos choose to use these things

[storm jungle]

for real

[sharp pollen]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749799445478244393/1265479387571159182/crackbert.gif

power crack-pipe*

[storm jungle]

[dapper gyro]

Force Bong

[queen laurel]

Why the f*** do you need chopsticks with monomolecular edges

At that point those are just throwing knives

[dapper gyro]

Get high with the warp

[sharp pollen]

not gonna lie - chain knife goes too hard

imagine slicing pizza with it

[dapper gyro]

Cutting the steak, half of the steak gets stuck inside the knife

[sharp pollen]

but regular chain swords dont get stuck in meat during fights

(exept the one in the very first darktide trailer)

[queen laurel]

Imagine taking a bite on a thunder spoon and just going

[dapper gyro]

There are meat inside of the chain sword, doesn't mean the chain sword is stuck.

[sharp pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/cereal-ryangosling-yum-breakfast-gif-5160683

[dapper gyro]

Somewhere in the imperium, there is a relic blender.

[sharp pollen]

im sure orks make things like this

and throw grots in it

[arctic talon]

There’s prolly a fucking stove that’s a holy relic lol

[sharp pollen]

and the fire is the warp-fire like psykers's stuff

[sharp pollen]

pin

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

All right this is pretty funny

Deserved pin

[tight stratus]

i wasnt expecting a pin, think if you search my history i draw all kinds of things that make me laugh in this server

you guys are funne

[queen laurel]

Yeah we are a psychologically a funny bunch

[tight stratus]

#ogryn-class message

[sharp pollen]

yeah this one is good as well

[queen laurel]

All right that is pretty good

[tight stratus]

I honestly think twice about going to Gloriana when I see it pop up

[sharp pollen]

dont think

[queen laurel]

Everytime when i'm feeling hard in a game i just activate my brain and go f*** it we ball

Mentally speaking i am no longer well because of that but hey

The price to pay for being such a dumbass

[sharp pollen]

[tight stratus]

Its kinda why I hate leavers and people that disconnect, despite the horrid odds and things going wrong. You kinda want to see a bad story potentially come out to a good ending even if slim. That's the exciting part about it

And if it all fails, then you have a great story to tell others later on about how shit your games were today for people to laugh at

[queen laurel]

I'm not correcting that i'm

Because i do not f****** care

[queen laurel]

I always love it well i was able to clutch up because i was the last to leave and find new players that are actually good compared to the people that left

[tight stratus]

yes, though I do feel like I cheated a bit (even if it was out of my control) by rotating out my team like that. But can't force people to stay

[dapper gyro]

People giving up at the first sigh of trouble are really weak.

[queen laurel]

I mostly play solo so i just do my best to try a salvage a situation and just hopefully wait for a new player to join

But yeah what can you do people are people

[sharp pollen]

i had 4 people cycling in my last auric maelstrom

2 left, 2 came

then 2 left again

and 2 came

[queen laurel]

Man

[sharp pollen]

a lot of them came

[queen laurel]

Average auric am i right

[dapper gyro]

I literally played with 9 different teams in a 33min game.

[sharp pollen]

85 deaths

how

morrow be like - send 2 more... aaaaand... 2 more.... aaaaaaaaAAAND... 1 singular....

and like this for 33 mins

[dapper gyro]

When they are down/death, they quit, then a bot replacing them is death and needed rescue.

Rinse and repeat a few times.

[queen laurel]

This is war and a win is a win

[storm jungle]

FINALLY

I GET TO USE MY MEME

[sharp pollen]

i fkin cant

[storm jungle]

was originally gonna make it so that its like a dozens of players with different cosmetics etc

but i realised that would take too fucking long

[queen laurel]

Thank goodness crime is a constant

[sharp pollen]

you drew them?

[queen laurel]

Because we would run out of meat shields sooner or later

[storm jungle]

Nah yoinked em

i dont know the source unfortunately

i just wrote "darktide rejects" on google

[sharp pollen]

they look good

[queen laurel]

No credit?

To the black ship you go

[storm jungle]

nope was randomly posted somew-

AAA-

[sharp pollen]

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

[dapper gyro]

Sending in a company worth of troop yet keep 1 guy alive. And they asked why I have PTSD.

It is 1 death every 20 seconds... typical lifespand of the imperial guard troops.

[queen laurel]

Oh new genestealers?

[arctic talon]

Celebration mini

We got new genestealers already

[queen laurel]

I will say for a celebration Mini this one isn't that bad but it's not good either just a bit basic

[proven needle]

I'm just about to finish the void shadows DLC and the writing for the broodlord is so good. I'm honestly scared of it even though I know Heinrix will handle it.

[rocky gale]

Hmm they put a disclaimer at the bottom of the warcom post to say the models may return later

[arctic talon]

Good

I think GW should do that with all the limited time minis

[rocky gale]

Finally another Stormcast exclusive lady

I can put it next to my other 2

[queen laurel]

Okay that's pretty nice

[storm jungle]

Women?

in MY Wokehammer?

[queen laurel]

That makes me unnecessarily violent and unfortunately i can't take out my anger on zombies in dark tide right now

[gray umbra]

We all know women dont have the muscle density + other arbitrary reason to be elite troopers

Why do you think the primarchs are all men

Checkmate

[storm jungle]

skdlfklsfsd

[queen laurel]

This is doing numbers

[gray umbra]

Dont forget, how else will the astra militarum get all their MALE soldiers ftom?!?!

[queen laurel]

And this one as well is also doing numbers

[dusk patrol]

The storm is stored in the balls

[crisp heath]

but "she"´s not HOT and has SIXPACKS that´s GAY and WOKE

[hallow plover]

Wasted opportunity to make her custodes

[tough haven]

People who say this when women beat the shit out of them for being misogynistic

[tough haven]

Kitbash

Gaslight your local GW store players into thinking GW added a new one, see who goes insane over it

[hallow plover]

Based

[crisp heath]

omg

you think that would work?

how are tabletop players

[tough haven]

Definitely

[crisp heath]

as people?

[gray umbra]

Would it be tournament legal if i kitbashed eldar female heads onto my primaris

[crisp heath]

i havent met any yet

[tough haven]

It’s a mixed bag, depending on region and just luck, like anything with humanity

[crisp heath]

mmh that´s true probably

[tough haven]

This is a good way to test if you’ll want to play with those people

[gray umbra]

Some players definitely got the tism

[celest dome]

As stupid as any warhammer fan...

[gray umbra]

Last time i went to a store i was like oh inquisitorial agents look so cool

[hallow plover]

It's a wide spectrum. From the "i just want to roll dice" players to the tournament metalist grinders

[gray umbra]

And some guy gave me shit about them not being meta

"Just play sms lol"

Not representative of everyone of course

[hallow plover]

Warhammer truly is for everyone

[tough haven]

The bad kind you mean

[queen laurel]

Yeah just like the lore fans the table top community also has a few nut cases

Sometimes they are combination of both

An insane lore fan and an insane table top guy

[dusk patrol]

SMs aren’t even meta half the time

Also it’s the most boring way to engage with the hobby

[hallow plover]

Some people are diehard sm fans

Knows every bit of heraldry and such

[dusk patrol]

I mean I like them a lot and I know a lot too, and I’d definitely recommend them as a starter faction for a lot of reasons

[hallow plover]

Do chaos space marine enjoyers (including the 4 gods legions) count as space marine players?

[dusk patrol]

But the idea that you should play them cause your overly concerned with the meta is

Hilarious

[crisp heath]

The one time i went into a store, the employee was nice to me at least

I cant see myself going into the stores much though. I feel like i SHOULD be interested in the tabletop but

To me it's like "why does this even exist"

[dusk patrol]

It’s up to you if it interests you or not

[crisp heath]

I like the lore and the videogames, the tabletop seems like such a random thing

[queen laurel]

It's not a mandatory requirement to get into tabletop but just you need to get this one thing always

All of the stories and games and stuff revolves around selling those things

[hallow plover]

It's an excuse to socialise for some

[dusk patrol]

Lots of people engage with the setting only through lore

[crisp heath]

I just cant figure it out lol!

[dusk patrol]

They’ll definitely teach you the game if you ask

And give you some free shit

[queen laurel]

I love warhammer lore and stories but i have to always keep in mind that it's always to sell those plastic things

[crisp heath]

Maybe once i'm a full time state prosecutor and the paychecks are rolling in

[hallow plover]

Personally, i like the lore, the games, the books. I enjoy painting my models but I don't play at gamestores. Only kitchen table 40k with friends

[crisp heath]

You know who that sounds like? Heroin dealers

[dusk patrol]

Nah too expensive to be hard drugs

[queen laurel]

It's called plastic crack for a reason

A good chunk of gw money comes from their miniatures after all

[crisp heath]

I could see myself with a celestine and maybe some entourage on my desk definitely

[hallow plover]

You can also play alternative 40k games such as kill team

[crisp heath]

But actually playing doesnt seem that much fun, just play dawn of war

[crisp heath]

Is that a pen and paper?

[hallow plover]

It's smaller in scale and takes less time to get into since you don't have to assemble and paint a full army

[queen laurel]

Yeah you just need to grab one squad

And your set

[hallow plover]

It's squad fights

[sly ivy]

I would argue that with black library the lore has become its own thing now

Those books sell really well

[dapper gyro]

It is a War game type after all, it is not easy to really get into the table top without spending a big big sum.

[hallow plover]

Kill team is the cheapest i think

[crisp heath]

I was going to play Only War i think it was called at university but everyone cancelled out. I feel like that would have been lots of fun actually

[queen laurel]

I mean yeah but i'm saying that a good chunk of it still is like still advertising those cool looking plastic models, that's always the core of warhammer

It's like league of legends where the stories the characters and staff are cool but the game is a completely different thing that they completely prioritize

[humble shoal]

Im too lazy to paint them

[crisp heath]

I do hope people keep buying the minis so i can get more books/games/lore

[humble shoal]

Codexes have pretty art in them though

[queen laurel]

Trust me there are a lot of people spending money on gw miniatures

So you don't have to worry on that department

[celest dome]

Mini painting had a boom with covid

[sly ivy]

Yes definitely. But such a large company is obviously distributed internally and so it’s not just “they” — the black library division, the story division, etc. absolutely care about the setting first and everything else second. Never mind the subcontracted people who make the pen and paper rpg and so on.

[crisp heath]

Need to find me one of those to gift me a celestine

[dapper gyro]

Make an Onlyfan account...

[humble shoal]

Take out student loans

Use them to buy figurines

Then you are halfway there

[sly ivy]

It’s a little different from League of Legends in that the story was pretty integral to the origin of the game, with Rogue Trader etc. Which was more of an rpg.

[crisp heath]

Would you subscribe 😏

[sly ivy]

Oh no I’ve become a tldr bot

[dapper gyro]

Depend on the content.

[humble shoal]

You have great knowledge, may I interest you in servitorship

[queen laurel]

Of course yes it's their own section but like, that's the core of warhammer it's a war game, all of its stories and games and stuff still come from one thing, those cool looking models

[crisp heath]

100€ to kick your balls

[queen laurel]

I'm not saying that the lore and the games are completely tied down by the models i'm just saying that

You have to always keep in mind that gw will almost always prioritize their models

[celest dome]

Somewhat is though, for the most part. Like modelled character rarely get deleted

[queen laurel]

Yeah that

[sly ivy]

Yes that is true.

[dapper gyro]

I don't even have money to spend on official mini... So that's a big NO.

[sly ivy]

Which in some sense is why things like Eisenhorn and Gaunt work best bc they’re just away from the Main Modeled Characters

30k is interesting here too because the books outpaced the minis by a lot

[potent orchid]

Eisenhorn has a model though right?

[sly ivy]

So there the mini releases are to an extent guided by the books

[crisp heath]

Maybe we should create an account and make content together then. We could become entrepreneurs

[sly ivy]

Well…

Sadly it was transient.

Eisenhorn himself was one character in their small scale Inquisitor game but everything and everyone else in it is far from the tabletop

[dapper gyro]

But who knows, considering how many weird asses in the WH community, you might find a whale with allowance for that kind of stuff.

[sly ivy]

||until the last Bequin book 😬||

[sly ivy]

Incredible business sense.

[crisp heath]

Honestly it's much easier to find a sugar daddy than i think many people realise

[potent orchid]

[sly ivy]

[dapper gyro]

Absolutely! Sugar mommy, on the other hand.....

[crisp heath]

I'll be your sugar mommy once the paychecks are coming in 😏

[dapper gyro]

When it is too good to be true, [...].

[gray umbra]

Ayo

[sly ivy]

Lmao perfectly timed random drive-by ayo

[queen laurel]

[potent orchid]

My headcannon is that all sororitas have a rock hard core with well defined abs

Each muscle has a tiny aquila tattooed on it

[rocky gale]

Ab crunches and Hail Marys

[spare osprey]

I legit saw someone in the comments complaining that she has a six pack. Worst rage bait I’ve ever seen

[crisp heath]

wahahah

i knew it

[spare osprey]

“Werl sigmar gets the best of the best, so why are all the women strong, shouldn’t they be agile”

Dog wtf are you saying

[outer wave]

I mean, Im cool with both

Why cant they agile and strong?

[spare osprey]

Exactly

[humble shoal]

To be fair they should both be agile and strong

[queen laurel]

Warhammer fans when i tell them to try to be neutral with gender ( just the thought of trying is enough to mutate them into chaos spawn )

[outer wave]

I think that guy was thinking more agile-fast-assassin kinda fantasy, which isnt what Sigmar is about really

[humble shoal]

Sigma does not care from where the abs flow

[queen laurel]

In the first place sigmar doesn't really care about your body as soon as you do good

[outer wave]

I can see that

Similar thing with Emperor and all that

Plus Sigmar was a barbarian so he wouldnt really encourage that sort of fighting style

[crisp heath]

you guys have been triggered by female space marines and female custodes

now let me introduce you to my fresh idea

MIXED GENDER SPACE MARINE CHAPTERS

[outer wave]

Honestly I thought that would go in hand with female space marines

[spare osprey]

Yeah if anything

That would be preferred

[queen laurel]

Well to be fair the Knight-Zephyros are a thing which specialize in assassinations as like champion hunters, an example is Neave-Blacktalon, but even the guy could have said something less dumb

[crisp heath]

it´s the only way any of this makes sense

[spare osprey]

And like I said, it wasn’t an actual issue of his. Was just being purposefully obtuse

[queen laurel]

Does he not know the concept of people can train their bodies to do different things

[spare osprey]

Apparently not

[queen laurel]

Well what can you do some people are stupid

[spare osprey]

Mhm

[outer wave]

Erm, no, acktually, women can only know agility and nothing else!!

[sly ivy]

I mean, am biologist.

1. Women are on average way less strong/fast and way less adapted for strength then men. In the current real world. See eg Bartolomei, S., Grillone, G., Di Michele, R. and Cortesi, M., 2021. A comparison between male and female athletes in relative strength and power performances. Journal of functional morphology and kinesiology, 6(1) and thousands of other references.

2. The Age of Sigmar universe is literally a world made from magic.

3. In 40K humans have technology that allows us to live forever and burrow through other realities.

That is all.

[sly ivy]

On average with virtually nonoverlapping distributions in the absence of teratology or pathology I should say.

[crisp heath]

spell it out though

you mean because magic and tech women can be fighters too

?

[sly ivy]

That with magical intervention and/or gene editing or god knows what the modern biological differences are irrelevant?

[charred jewel]

Don't like female custodes, fucks up the yin and yang of sisters of silence to custodes

[sly ivy]

I mean that is legit

Also

I likewise enjoy the yin yang

[charred jewel]

Like, if people saw brothers of silence/brothers of battle, they'd go "ahhh hell no"

[sly ivy]

Likewise the interesting male female dynamics between eg space marines and various female mortals in say ADB’s books.

[crisp heath]

what happens if a sister sororitas turns out to be a trans man 🤔

[sly ivy]

But that’s an aesthetic preference.

still sister what problem

[crisp heath]

would they want that though

if feel like if a sister turned out to be trans they´d maybe wanna leave the sisterhood and go be somewhere with the boys

[charred jewel]

eh. well, considering the sisters of battle are supposed to be tyrannical and non-understanding and have strict rules and shit, I think in lore the sister-superior would punish the trans-sister

[sly ivy]

Edge case tbh.

As far as overall aesthetics, the interesting thing about m/f segregation is the social dynamic.

Ohh sorry I misread

Also

[humble shoal]

Sisters are super tolerant and loving so they wpuld accept the trans sisyer with open arms

[crisp heath]

;_;

[sly ivy]

right I think kicked out of sisterhood bc the whole thing with sisters is the age of apostasy restriction

And they’d have the inquisition after them

[humble shoal]

(In reality how would they get through the schola as trans)

[charred jewel]

But like, irl for a BL author I don't think they'd want the shitstorm of leaving everyone angry over showing either a sister going trans, and the dogmatic superiors going "okay whatever" which is immersion breaking or show a trans sister getting her shit kicked in, which, you know, would not sit well with a large group of fans

[humble shoal]

like the surgery would probably be seen as a waste of resources

[sly ivy]

As soon as they have a man in the ranks, for violating the ministorum can’t have men at arms thing

[charred jewel]

excellent point they completely go through people in there, no way you could hide your whole mental-gender in there

[sly ivy]

The whole existence of sisters is predicated on a slightly silly satirical “I am no man” joke haha

[charred jewel]

Okay I don't think they're sending a whole ass inquisitor over it

[sly ivy]

Fine fine a junior interrogator

[humble shoal]

From what happened last time, they would

[charred jewel]

Inquisitors come over when weird shit happened with Ephrael Stern

[sly ivy]

Before he gets his soul patch of rank

[charred jewel]

Nah bruh that's just an in-house thing to deal with

[humble shoal]

Like hereticus would be on that shit like jam on toast

Especially because its a power play against the head exclesiarch

[charred jewel]

they ain't sending rannic over to twirl his mustache being transphobic

[crisp heath]

in my mind they scan the brains of those sisters with dark age tech and if they turn out to be trans men they get sent to the guard or somewhere. everyone is happy 🌞

[charred jewel]

Yeah that works

[sly ivy]

Guard is truly inclusive

[humble shoal]

Schola is closer by the the local inquisition than tertium isnt it....

[sly ivy]

Only gender is meat

[humble shoal]

There is also penal meat

The other gender

Aka "give them some sharp sticks and tell them to go fight the nids"

[sly ivy]

Go feed the nids

[charred jewel]

Penal legionaires still have flak armor and lasguns

[humble shoal]

Its a joke

[sly ivy]

Jokes aren’t allowed MODS

[humble shoal]

But also some penal legions are mine sweepers

So they dont get flak or lasguns

[charred jewel]

Goes to show how ubiquitous and masterfully created the lasgun and flak armor when the absolute meat shields of meat shields can still afford flak and las without hurting an industrial/hive/forge world's production quotas

[charred jewel]

Which written work can this be seen?

[humble shoal]

No idea

Closest is this dude

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Penal_Legion_Human_Bomb

But he looks like he got flak

[outer wave]

Wait, but isnt there a trans sister in one BL book?

I thought someone mentioned a character that was implicitly trans a while ago here

[charred jewel]

Which one?

[outer wave]

Not sure

Might've been a short story

[charred jewel]

in the armageddon steam game they use autopistols

[humble shoal]

Isnt that because thats just the cheapest thing they had?

[charred jewel]

...I'm not sure, the game is...basic

It has voice actors and cutscenes but its, listen

It's a good game, but it feels like it came out of the early 2000s, or late 90s. not a 2010s game as it is

aka: the game doesn't get into the equipment of infantry. It doesn't even let you use plasma or melta equipped steel legion, only flamers

[humble shoal]

Oof

[charred jewel]

It does let you every single fucking version of leman rus's and baneblades

[humble shoal]

As the steel legion needs

[crisp heath]

i faintly remember there was something about either unity or armageddon mod for dawn of war

that was super cringe

something about either the vraks or armageddon steel legion being added

[storm jungle]

Shut up

[crisp heath]

and something about nazis and communists

could have been death korps being added too

[storm jungle]

also bro I MISSED ALL THE ARGUMENTS

[hallow plover]

Just start another one

[storm jungle]

I cant im eating soup

[rocky gale]

You know what they say, people eating soups shouldn't start arguments

[storm jungle]

[hallow plover]

Soup is raving madman food

You can spill it everywhere

[outer wave]

Dilara, you know that short story or whatever that had a trans sister?

Or did I gaslight myself into thinking that was real?

[rocky gale]

I think there's one that's possibly implied

[storm jungle]

^

[rocky gale]

Where a guy mentions someone taking another sisters name when she "transitioned" but that's also a term used within the church for another meaning

[storm jungle]

One of the sororitas writers also said on her blogpost that she wanted a f/f sororitas relationship in one of her recent books

but GW shot it down because "they are nuns"

[outer wave]

But they arent chaste

[viral halo]

Heard there was an argument brewing in here

I return when I am needed most

[storm jungle]

you missed it Siggario

u_u

[viral halo]

I took a warhammer hiatus for a month

best time ever

[outer wave]

Nice, what did you do?

[storm jungle]

kill homeless people i assume

[viral halo]

Murdered multiple homeless people and hid them in national parks

[celest dome]

Make sense

[outer wave]

Damn

[viral halo]

oh great dilara you posted my joke as i was typing it

I mean how the fuck

did you know

[queen laurel]

Yeah also probably fought the Hulk

[rocky gale]

The fact both of you instantly went to murdering homeless people

[queen laurel]

F****** clown to clown communication

[outer wave]

If I had a nickel for every friendo/acquantince I knew that went on a homeless murdering spree and hid the bodies in national parks....

[viral halo]

How was everyone with an intact family system's holidays?

[outer wave]

Okay, not the best christmas ever

My dad was passing a kidney stone

For like a few days

[queen laurel]

Pretty basic besides my pc getting absolutely railroaded

[humble shoal]

The smokies are a good spot

[charred jewel]

No, they suck

I gambled so much on hockey this past week

Made like 100 bucks then put it all back in

Did you win anything

[viral halo]

lost it all

#lockedin

[storm jungle]

No they are great

stop being afraid of women in power-armor so much

its pathetic

[outer wave]

😎

[storm jungle]

mfers going "omg what about the sisters of silence"

bitch you literally barely even remember they exist lol

"I love their dynamic"

Yeah the dynamic of being mute and doing kung fu hand gestures

[queen laurel]

Yeah like people only remember they exist the moment that custodes had women

[storm jungle]

[viral halo]

Oh we're still fighting about femstodes

It's been half a year

[storm jungle]

We just need Eternal coming in to complain about "who cares" and we are golden.

[queen laurel]

Well how are we supposed to forget about it if every single time we try to it gets brought up

It's like trying to kill wolverine

[outer wave]

Actually, it was about AoS women in armor being trained in strength rather than their best trait, agility or something

[queen laurel]

It's practically impossible

[charred jewel]

bro they aren't real, they can't kick my ass

[rocky gale]

It's also ironic that the only mentions I see talking about the "Yin-Yang dynamic" of Custodes and SoS are from after they added femstodes, it's almost like no one talked about it beforehand

[storm jungle]

Who said anything about them kicking your ass

want something you wanna tell to class?

[humble shoal]

SoS are cool

[storm jungle]

🤨

[humble shoal]

10/10 want to be hunted down as a blank by them

[outer wave]

Dilara, I'll confess: I want muscular women to kick my ass then kiss me.

[queen laurel]

Why do you think when i saw them talking i immediately just ignore them and just wait for it to die down

[storm jungle]

SoS were so forgotten IRL this literally became in-universe lore, people acting like they care about them at all is so funny to me.

[queen laurel]

With that pfp i am not surprised

[outer wave]

HEY ITS TRUE

ALSO DONT DISS THE PFP

My friend drew it and its cute

[rocky gale]

Yea the Yin-Yang dynamic just wasn't a thing before they added Femstodes, it's not something people talked about, when people mentioned Custodes it was never a talking point, It wasn't a thing.

[queen laurel]

Oh i'm not dissing the pfp i'm just saying that i'm not surprised you would say that sentence

[charred jewel]

a You implied I'm scared of "women in power armor" I'm not scared about something that don't exist

[rocky gale]

It's a fake thing people have came up with after the fact to complain about it

[outer wave]

Okay thats fair

[storm jungle]

You definitely sound like you are, I suggest setting up a therapy session with your doctor immediately

📋

we need to get you committed stat

[humble shoal]

I cared about sos because blanks are kool

[storm jungle]

they still take way too much of a backstage thing with custodes that they may as well be glorified kitchenwives.

the new addition is better

[humble shoal]

Yeah thats gws fault

[viral halo]

Dilara is anti woman confirmed

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

i´m gonna blow your mind when i show you my sororitas cosplay

[storm jungle]

No broke no woke.

[hallow plover]

SoS should stay in the black kitchen ships

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

No she would paralyzed Minthara leg down for 5 months if she could

If you catch my drift

[storm jungle]

speaking of

I sitll dont get why people like most of the companions in BG3

[viral halo]

Wokehammer 40k

[storm jungle]

WHY do people like Gale

I dont get it

[viral halo]

I hate gale bc he's an addict

[hallow plover]

Coomers?

[storm jungle]

FOR GALE?

HOW

[viral halo]

He's a white man with medium hair and fuzz

[hallow plover]

I play DU just to chop his arm

[viral halo]

Not every one wants to fuck an orc

Contreversial take I know

[rocky gale]

I didn't mind Gale at first, but then I did a run where I was slightly rude to him and he became so unbearable

[hallow plover]

He's the marvel character

[queen laurel]

The amount of passive aggressiveness the bastard has if you're a sorcerer

Bro

[hallow plover]

Always quipping

[viral halo]

I played 50 hours of BGIII and didn't get out of act one

[queen laurel]

I'm sorry i'm born with magic

[crisp heath]

is it the slightly chubby looking guy?

[queen laurel]

And you have nothing

[charred jewel]

Is this suppposed to be funny

[viral halo]

No idea I hate fat people

[celest dome]

Would you rather date Gale as a human or date him after the Ceremorphosis ?

[viral halo]

Filter them out etc

[rocky gale]

Like he straight up lies to you and then when you say "I think you're lieing to me" he gets really upset and angry at you and then when you expose the fact he was lieing to you he makes out like you're the bad guy for exposing the fact he was lieing

It's just so ugh

[viral halo]

Dark Urge is funny cause you can just fucking uhhhh kill everyone

[queen laurel]

This guy

[viral halo]

I wanted to play a druid in BGIII but they suck so fucking bad

[hallow plover]

I don't like his whole backstory. It's pretty much a typical power gamer character.

"I dated a god and I have a nuke in my chest"

[storm jungle]

No man im trying to help you.

Why are you so mean to me

[queen laurel]

Yeah this guy canonically slept with one of the gods of bg3

[viral halo]

You're getting WOKED

[queen laurel]

And not just a minor one at that but the literal god of magic

[storm jungle]

anyway like

again

[celest dome]

Druid are fun with other players

[storm jungle]

WHY does anyone like this Gale guy

its insane

[viral halo]

he's a caster at an early level

[crisp heath]

oh you´re talking about some other game again. alright i´m outtie, nerds

[viral halo]

where you may be short on casters

[celest dome]

They can enable quite a lot of focused playstyles

[queen laurel]

I guess people that have like taste for smart guys

That are nice

[storm jungle]

Casters? Bitch ill just bully him

[hallow plover]

Sounds like hate-love, Dilara

[charred jewel]

What?

[viral halo]

what's the most OP class in BGIII

[rocky gale]

TBF Mystra is a bit of a hoe

Even Elminster's been there and done that

[queen laurel]

That is facts

[viral halo]

Dilara is an agent of the demiurge and is trying to get you to submit to wokeism

I have no idea what I just said

[queen laurel]

I hope you go through the trauma of wolverine for that

[viral halo]

I'm just copy pasting out of the politics channel in my discord

I believe its gnosticism argueing that dilara is the false god hiding the truth to keep the custodes gay

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[viral halo]

Maslow's hierarcy of needs says
Dilara woke
Warhammer broke
Bulgur stinky

Lmao real talk tho memes aside

Philosophy is garbage

Kant was like oooh ahhh don't kill people oooh ahhh

[humble shoal]

Gnosticism isnt philosophy

Its theology

[queen laurel]

Wait you can't get how people like a gale but you understand why people like wyll?

[storm jungle]

No?

who the fuck is Wyll

[viral halo]

What does this have to do with Gnocci

[queen laurel]

That's good one

[storm jungle]

Gnocci? Gnome Chompsky

[storm jungle]

WHO IS HE

[humble shoal]

Its like a proto-kaballa thing

[hallow plover]

This

[queen laurel]

Are you actually serious

[rocky gale]

Wyll is just a case of Larian abandoning a character halfway through development

[storm jungle]

Yes who

[hallow plover]

The BLADE OF AVERNUS

[vagrant fox]

Gale? The guy who keeps going on about his ex while trying to fuck you after repeatedly being told no?

[humble shoal]

Where in the bibble the god in the garden of eden is just hermes

[storm jungle]

is he that bald kraotos looking guy?

[viral halo]

is that that jewish baby sacrifice thing with the red arm band that madonna and arod used to do

[hallow plover]

Ironically his theme is based

[queen laurel]

This mf damn

[storm jungle]

bruh who the fuck

[queen laurel]

Is he really that basic

[hallow plover]

That's Mizora

[queen laurel]

That you forgot about him

[humble shoal]

Its basically saying the serpent is the antihero and god is the bad guy

[celest dome]

Wait who is the Bald Kratos looking guy in BG3

[hallow plover]

Minsc

[storm jungle]

Minsk?

Minqks?

[celest dome]

Oh

Make sense

[storm jungle]

whatever was his name

[viral halo]

They watched too much anime hope they catch an AWACS

[storm jungle]

I mean he is

why cant God just let Adam and Eve have fun

[storm jungle]

have SEX

[queen laurel]

You seriously

Do not know him?

[storm jungle]

Hes so mid

its not my fault

[celest dome]

I killed him

[storm jungle]

LOL

CACTI

[queen laurel]

To be fair he is a chaos cactus

[celest dome]

Hey he is a High Born

[queen laurel]

What did you expect him to be

[vagrant fox]

Wyll was around for act 1 then became an NPC, there's not much to him

[celest dome]

Noble deserve nothing more

[viral halo]

Are there any good companions in BGIII other than my character's wife shadowheart

[humble shoal]

Ironically eva has tons of gnistic shit in it

[queen laurel]

Look my prickly norscan friend you do not have to tell us you brutally murdered him

[celest dome]

Laezel is quite good story wise

[viral halo]

Memeing aside, my minor was in religious studies and I am familiar with all the stuff you are referencing and yea Eva is full of that shit lmao

[storm jungle]

You date Shadowheart because shes a hot domineering dark elf

I date Shadowheart because I know her from 40k Audiobooks

We are not the same

[humble shoal]

[storm jungle]

✋

[queen laurel]

It takes a while to build up their character

[storm jungle]

WAIT

[rocky gale]

Eva mentioned

[storm jungle]

I MIXED UP SHADOWHEART WITH MINTHHARA

FUCK

Im actually okay with the rebuilds

[rocky gale]

My favourite scene

[outer wave]

[hallow plover]

Does Minthara even gets development

[outer wave]

She was so happy to get her happy meal :)

[viral halo]

he's a history teacher canonically too

I'm much taller

[hallow plover]

You loose so much content wise if you side with her

[queen laurel]

If only you had metal bones poisoning you and metal claws

[rocky gale]

They fixed that

[queen laurel]

Sigh

[rocky gale]

You can knock her out now and recruit her in Act 2

[queen laurel]

Yeah

So you can do a relatively good play through

But just hitting her head

[rocky gale]

Yea the handling of Minthara is odd

[viral halo]

I just want to throw it out there that I did not care for Evangelion

[rocky gale]

Like you can do a redemption path with her, but like you could only originally get her in an evil playthrough

So like you had to be evil, lose half your companions due to being evil and then switch to being good and redeem her and it's just like.... why?

[queen laurel]

Even then the redemption path doesn't fully redeem her because she still has the lotlh sworn paladin tendencies, but you know you can't really change the nature of how someone grew up in

So i will say its serviceable

[humble shoal]

I went in thinking it was gonna be like transformers

[rocky gale]

Minthara was another character that was only half developed by Larian, she's just ahead of Wyll though because atleast the half of a character is fun

[viral halo]

I haven't had an anime that I've found interesting in quite a long time

Don't like anime. Characters don't got noses, don't get how they breath

[queen laurel]

Let me tell you 10 out of 10 times it's incredibly f****** funny how generic it is

[charred jewel]

seriously landscaping while listening to the elysian audibook series kept me from like, really getting out of it

[rocky gale]

Funfact, it was originally planned that if you slept with Minthara at the Goblin party she would get pregnant and it would be an ongoing story point throughout the game

[queen laurel]

Oh really

So that's what it was for

[vagrant fox]

No Argenta romance, no Minthara preg, gamers are truly oppressed

[rocky gale]

Yea, it was going to be be a potential part of her redemption path and explore the whole "What kind of person do I want to be for this child"

[potent orchid]

I mean, seeing how the drow treat their young

She probably would have been okay with being a horrible parent

[charred jewel]

I wish I could bust a nut over cassia's face. Developers need to get on the ball with cutscene making

Infinite's story was ridiculous, it reminds me of that episode of family guy where Brian gets invited on Bill Maher's show, and when bill maher starts shitting on his shitty book, Brian immediately starts begging for acceptance and Bill just says: "If you're going to write a piece of shit, at least stick with it"

and that's how it felt with halo infinite, they had a stars-tier story going with 4 and 5. And then they completely dumped it to have chief deactivate another ring with melodrama with cortana

Halo's supposed to be military sci-fi, master chief isn't supposed to have internal struggles or whatever, he's a soldier, he do objective, he's self satisfied

[hallow plover]

Who was the actual villain at the end of infinite? I can't remember the plot

[shadow plover]

5 pretty much threw anything good 4 had going on in the trash, Infinite did a whole lot of good to salvage it from that

[hallow plover]

Time travel shit

[dusk patrol]

Society

[charred jewel]

squid-woman

[hallow plover]

Was she a fore-forerunner?

[charred jewel]

They didn't salvage it, they just...didn't have a story

[potent orchid]

Idk what you guys are talking about the last halo game was 3

Wait no odst

[charred jewel]

member of a species EVEN WORSE than the flood

[shadow plover]

nah, Infinite was great

[charred jewel]

no bruh, halo 3 ODST mogs it

[dusk patrol]

Reach was great

[potent orchid]

Infinite had good multiplayer

[hallow plover]

Halo 3 odst is overrated

[charred jewel]

What made halo great were how every level was different and fun to explore

infinite was the same open-grasslands, and geometric-forerunner ruin over and over again

[shadow plover]

ODST is moody and fine with great atmosphere but the story itself is pretty whatever

[charred jewel]

The story was good!!!!!!!

[hallow plover]

You WILL scale the hexagons

[vagrant fox]

I know sweet fuckall about Halo except Oni are the good guys and from what I understand, it's not worth getting into it more than that now

[charred jewel]

you WILL collect the collectables

[shadow plover]

Oni the good guys..

[hallow plover]

Oni are the baddies

[potent orchid]

Oni are the exact opposite of good guys

[vagrant fox]

I've made my decision about who's the good guys for being mean to aliens

[hallow plover]

The good guys are actually the ||grunts||

[charred jewel]

Making colors cost money was fucking evil

also the armor looks butt-fuck ugly

halo reach's armor all looked tacti-cool and fit the game asethetic

halo 4-infinite had....just fugly armor

[potent orchid]

Odst armor was sweet too

[hallow plover]

Halo reach was the last game without overdesigned shit

[charred jewel]

warframe-tier armor

destiny-warframe looking shit

[shadow plover]

I don't know what you played but Infinite armour is on par with 2/3

[charred jewel]

HELL NO

[charred jewel]

halo 2 literally just let you change color

[hallow plover]

This is peak halo

[charred jewel]

look at this fugly ass thing

I don't want to see that shit in a game

Trump voice: Get him out of here! GET HIM THE HELL OUT!

[hallow plover]

The cat ears in infinite

"Tacticat"

[shadow plover]

also isn't that Halo 5, the ugliest halo

not infinite

[hallow plover]

Idk 5 is the only one i haven't played

[spare osprey]

Looks like MCC actually

[shadow plover]

mm yeah could be one of the 'new' sets for MCC

[spare osprey]

Infinite had fantastic art direction. One of the best things about it

[hallow plover]

My 5th xbox 360 dying and making me switch to pc gaming was a blessing

[charred jewel]

No. The best thing was the engine

[spare osprey]

God no

lol

That was one of the things that made the game struggle in the first place

[charred jewel]

Slipspace actually felt really good and I liked how things maneuvered around

[spare osprey]

Infinite and halo wars 2 is some of the best looking halo

[charred jewel]

Eh….

[shadow plover]

Splipspace was great to play with but it is the root cause to all the other problems the game has had

it is a notoriously hard engine to work with

[charred jewel]

I’d argue halo 3 ODST. reach. and other contemptuous games beat infinite in art

[hallow plover]

Halo 2 had the best art direction I feel

Lots of variety

[charred jewel]

It’s notoriously hard because the engine was built entirely by groups of constantly moving in and out developers. For a non-open source engine that’s a nightmare

[shadow plover]

Halo 2 was also very ugly at times

[charred jewel]

And with mass contractors

[spare osprey]

Halo wars 2 is basically just better halo 2

[charred jewel]

Game engines that are non open source inherently require their founders to continue teaching and educating new developers on it

[shadow plover]

yes but the engine was still a bad engine, hence any new projects they're doing are going to be UE5

[charred jewel]

Without it. You get the chimps in 2000 staring at the obelisk

you can’t just leave notes. The guys who made it got to lead the developers around it. Else they might as well be translating hieroglyphics

[spare osprey]

And then blur came back for the cutscenes

[charred jewel]

Liked halo wars 1 more

[spare osprey]

I will cook you

In like seal fried rice

[charred jewel]

Campaign was better. Had you doing different things in great set pieces

Halo wars 2’s campaign didn’t have the elephant transporting. Refugee covering

Felt kind of samey

[storm jungle]

Damn i missed jerk's awful fucking halo takes again

gonna shoot that guy one day

[shadow plover]

Your takes have no power over me

you like cod

check mate

[charred jewel]

Yes. Other features were prioritized

[humble shoal]

I too am a fan, I prefer bass pro fisher more though

[storm jungle]

Yeah up to BO2

[shadow plover]

doesn't help your case

[storm jungle]

It does

literally the best cod games were up to that point

what ARE you smoking

[shadow plover]

liking beyond 4 is a yikes from me

[storm jungle]

Jesus

what are you 1000 year old?

go back to WW2

👨‍🦽‍➡️

[shadow plover]

I said 4 was fine

[storm jungle]

"fine" is also crazy

bro someone shoot this man

I CANT DEAL WITH THIS

[shadow plover]

🫡

[gray umbra]

Cod isnt really bad at its core

[storm jungle]

well it is now
