I guess they might just be saving her to die for later

crystal forum
#

aren't all the original super heroes hinted at still being sorta alive in season 1

arctic talon
#

#

Only the Immortal survived because he's uh

#

immortal

spring cairn
#

Kate and Immortal

crystal forum
#

immortal is a bit of a wasted character rn imo

arctic talon
#

Unless they change it from the comics

#

Kate wasn't part of the Guardians

#

I'm assuming Jay is talking about ominimans

#

original killing spree

spring cairn
#

when did she "die"

crystal forum
#

he doesn't seem to have much wisdom for somebody who literally freed the slaves of america

spring cairn
#

i forgot

languid meadow
#

yeah S2 with the lizard league

arctic talon
#

Against the Lizard league

#

So unlike the comics no one died lol

#

since Rae didn't fucking die

crystal forum
#

speaking of which doesn't rexplode kill the guy with the gun

spring cairn
#

tbh, with her powers

crystal forum
#

after being shot

spring cairn
#

you'd have to try to die

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

Rexplode beats him to death

#

lol

crystal forum
#

that was such a cool scene man

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

yeah

#

Rex's moral framework is different

#

He doesn't care about killing people LOL

languid meadow
#

Tbf rex got fucking shot in the head and watched two of his friends "die"

crystal forum
#

still the show just glosses over that fact

arctic talon
#

he's also much weaker then someone like Black Samson/Robot

#

well yeah because that wasn't the focal point

#

of that season

crystal forum
#

that's what i mean by season 3 hammering the morals more

arctic talon
#

the morality stuff is happening now

#

ah

#

I get that

crystal forum
#

season 2 had the ending ofc

#

which is a big moral thing i guess

spring cairn
#

also idk anything about the comics but

#

mark is gonna have to fight the purple guy

#

100%

arctic talon
#

which purple guy

#

Oh Oliver

spring cairn
#

#

why he ourple

languid meadow
#

bug

crystal forum
#

omni man fucked a bug

spring cairn
#

bug sex

#

man go lucky, he could've gotten more bug features than just a paintjob

crystal forum
#

and since viltrumite DNA is so strong he looks mostly human

arctic talon
#

Viltrumite DNA moment

#

yeah

#

Viltrumites are a eugenics program gone crazy

#

pretty much

crystal forum
#

viltrumites dont even know the concept of recessive genes

spring cairn
#

yeah they killed everyone who had those

arctic talon
#

💀

#

mfw half of the population

crystal forum
#

which is not how evolution works but it makes a good story

spring cairn
#

it sets them up as completely evil

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

literally eugenicist totalitarians

arctic talon
#

Gene pool moment

spring cairn
#

they killed him because he could only throw a car 100 meters instead of 103

arctic talon
#

Skill issue

spring cairn
#

at 8

crystal forum
#

i love how mark keeps getting stronger every season but the villains do too

arctic talon
#

thats the implication

#

lol

storm jungle
#

LOL

languid meadow
#

Yeah he's smiling and looking back at him iirc

storm jungle
#

Immortal is basically Big E which helps

arctic talon
#

Immortal is more moral then Big E

storm jungle
#

(personality wise especially)

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

He also has a pretty big inferiority complex

crystal forum
#

he's just so strict for somebody who lived for the entirety of humanity's existence

spring cairn
#

immortal is turkish

storm jungle
#

No hes not

storm jungle
#

he has no mustache

arctic talon
#

you can tell that he doesn't feel comfortable when he isn't the strongest person in the room

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Yep

#

lol

storm jungle
#

hes talking shit when no viltrumite is around to fucking rip him in half KEK

arctic talon
#

Mark would never

crystal forum
#

he's pretty weak this season tbf

storm jungle
#

I mean

#

he barely did anything

crystal forum
#

he was capable of denting omni man

storm jungle
#

its been 3eps

arctic talon
#

His fight against the Maulers is fine

#

imo

spring cairn
crystal forum
#

like that alone puts you way above others

storm jungle
#

yeah like the issue with the Maulers was like

#

they legit went gigabrain

#

and said

arctic talon
#

They're smart

storm jungle
#

"lets just paralyse them"

#

most realistic genius supervillian

spring cairn
#

they realised even viltrumites have nervous systems

crystal forum
#

also i do like that the excuse for why it worked is mostly because they were under strength since members left

dusk patrol
#

Battle Beast showing up season 1 is still hilarious

arctic talon
#

arctic talon
#

Machine Heads voice is so good lol

storm jungle
#

arctic talon
#

crystal forum
#

he's doing side quests

#

arctic talon
#

hm says I need viltrumite blood

#

where the fuck am I finding that

dusk patrol
#

It’s literally like if Black Mask called in Darkseid to tussle with a young justice league or whatever

storm jungle
#

Or like some underhive criminal mastermind has a Eye of the Emperor as one of his goons

#

its like "wait who is this person-"

#

gets demolished

spring cairn
#

that's what it means when ur parents tell you you need to build connections

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

Okay true

storm jungle
#

battle-beast is like a primarch-tier threat

arctic talon
#

not a huge spoiler but he's from a eugenics program

crystal forum
#

ah a common thing in this setting

arctic talon
#

I mean yeah

#

Allen is also from one lol

crystal forum
#

even allen the alien

dusk patrol
#

He looks for better fights

#

That’s it really

arctic talon
#

After the Viltrumites did it everyone else caught on

storm jungle
#

Yeah hes literally fucking around

languid meadow
#

the true moral of the story is that eugenics creates demi gods if done on aliens

spring cairn
#

i think the moral of the show is eugenics are awesome

arctic talon
#

💀

crystal forum
#

i'll bet you the mauler twins are a result of some kind of lab shit too

storm jungle
#

the moral of the show is get a mustache

arctic talon
#

tbf

#

all dogs are a product of eugenics

storm jungle
#

well yeah

crystal forum
#

not mutts

storm jungle
#

but still

arctic talon
#

anyways point being Invincible is weird about Eugenics lol

#

it treats it like a monstrous thing but also

#

like

crystal forum
#

arctic talon
#

you know

gray umbra
#

Bang a bug

crystal forum
#

the fact that it works in the setting is weird

gray umbra

Purple human baby

crystal forum
#

since irl eugenics just doesnt

spring cairn
#

this is an awful thing but everyone does it and it works everytime

arctic talon
#

the ability to fly

gray umbra
#

Heres the real question

#

Did oliver come from an egg

#

Like a laid one

arctic talon
#

also I can't believe they got Peter Cullen for Thaedus

spring cairn
#

he hatched from Omniman's left ball

arctic talon
#

This shit is going to go hard as hell

spring cairn
#

gray umbra

storm jungle
#

i legit had instant 40k PTSD

crystal forum
#

i cant wait for allen to kill a viltrumite

arctic talon
#

its so weird

spring cairn
#

I liked when that guy revealed to Allen he's a viltrumite by just showing him he had a mustache and not a beard I liked it a lot

arctic talon
#

like what is wrong with Kregg

crystal forum
#

i want to see seth rogan kill a god like alien

#

and then do his laugh

spring cairn
#

the council dude

languid meadow
#

I keep forgetting Allen is voiced by Seth

spring cairn
#

forgot his name

arctic talon
#

Thaedus

#

is peter cullen

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

which is crazy to me

storm jungle
#

i do like how convincing a beard disguise is for a viltrumite too

spring cairn
#

Like what happens if Allen goes to earth and finds some slightly ripped guy with a mustache

crystal forum
#

the show will never explain why viltrumites look identical to humans

arctic talon
#

lol

#

like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay later in the comics

crystal forum
#

as like a side thing?

#

something about parallel evolution

spring cairn
#

Viltrumites are the results of a eugenic program done on earth 100 years ago

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

they then eugenized their eugene again

languid meadow

Eugene Krabs

#

Interesting lore excerpt for the Iron Hands.

arctic talon
#

iirc its like something about a lost colony + common ancestor or something

#

Its like so minor and doesnt' even matter

#

I'm not sure why its even mentioned lol

crystal forum
#

alright yeah

spring cairn
#

all that because the author was too scared to make Omniman look like a freaky alien

crystal forum
#

i wonder if they have weird quirks like they piss from a different hole

opaque coyote
#

‘‘Well, I reckon that depends on the manner of your death,’ said Jathrac. ‘You’ve a progenoid tucked away in there too, friend. If I get it back to your brothers, that’s you passing on the torch. You can dine at the All-Father’s table with your head held high.’

‘Negative. My flesh was found wanting.’

‘That’s not the way it works, old timer. Now open up.’

‘Status of sarcophagus clasp unit: disabled.’

‘Disabled, eh?’ said the Wolf Priest with a sigh. ‘Well, I’ve seen this done more than once.’ Jathrac pulled out his plasma pistol from its holster of walrus hide, pressing the maxis-node on the gun’s underside whilst intoning the chant of unbinding.

‘Do not open the sarcophagus, brother Wolf,’ said the Dreadnought sombrely.

‘Why not?’ growled Jathrac impatiently.

‘I am not worthy of the rite.’

‘For Russ’s sake. There are billions of voydwyrms out there, Radamarr. I have no time to play confessor. Let’s get you flasked.’

‘No!’ shouted the Dreadnought, its vox so loud that dust shook from the vaulted ceiling above.

Jathrac tucked the fat barrel of the plasma pistol under the lip of the sarcophagus. He shielded his face to avoid the blast of energy and the subsequent burst of amniotic steam that would leave the Dreadnought’s crippled pilot naked inside. Gritting his teeth, he pulled the trigger. The sarcophagus flew open with a deafening bang.

Nothing came out but a blast of warm, stale air.

Jathrac sniffed once, nose and forehead wrinkled in confusion. His horror mounted as he turned back to the yawning sarcophagus that had swung open before him. The Dreadnought’s interior contained a mass of wires, a few pitted bone cogs… and nothing else.

‘What in the name of Russ?’

opaque coyote

#

i want to see the immortal showing off his strength at some point

#

i think his powers are cool

arctic talon

I love it

spring cairn

crystal forum
#

yes and i like that

arctic talon
#

unless

#

they slow down really hard

#

in which that case yeah idfk

crystal forum
#

you dont see a lot of super heros who just have regular stuff

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

bulletproof maybe

#

i'd be happy with just super strength

#

it's like the most generic power

opaque coyote
#

Although, it does make me wonder whether the Dreadnought was transferred into being completely metal

Or simply an AI masquerading as the person who was meant to be placed there.

arctic talon
#

Bullet proof is generic mc genericman

arctic talon
#

is the implication

crystal forum
#

isn't he just hard to kill

spring cairn
#

i like not batman's powers

crystal forum

not batman's power of the SHADOW REALM

All that junk

did they show bulletproof fly ?

spring cairn

crystal forum
#

how can anyone fly

#

eve is like the only one that uses powers to fly

opaque coyote
#

Similar to how Cawl made a simulation of Gulliman

arctic talon
#

its never really explained how in the comics

#

but he doesn't need to eat

crystal forum
#

oh interesting

arctic talon
#

as long as he gets the shit beaten out of him

#

he can sustain himself on kinetic energy lol

crystal forum
#

that's pretty interesting

#

so he can fight forever

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

he eats because he enjoys it

#

which is neat

opaque coyote
#

Like imagine the wind like blowing on your face

#

Constantly

arctic talon
#

the goggles

#

lol

spring cairn
#

guy never shits

crystal forum
#

flying in the show is treated as being able to push yourself on space itself

#

like there's actual kinetic impact

opaque coyote
# arctic talon the goggles

True but there is the possibility that if you go fast enough it just

Does not work.

Like if you're going Superman type fast.

Then again, if you're going that fast, you probably have some type of invulnerability

crystal forum
#

and they sometimes "step" in the air

opaque coyote
#

But if you don't

#

Uhhh

arctic talon
#

don't worry

#

become an ace combat protaganist

#

become the first bloodless human

#

able to resist infinite Gs and never suffer from G loc

crystal forum
#

the show does address that humans can't be carried too fast or their skin would rip

languid meadow
#

I mean that's how viltrumites do it which we can assume is biological? But the immortals stuff is like space magic or something idk I'm pulling shit out of my ass

crystal forum

from the air drag

arctic talon

They made Rex much more likeable

#

Immortals is magic yeah

better than average

Hopefully the show fixes some of it's flaws.

#

Because the comic is a bit ass at times

#

Generally I think the show actually improves on MOST of the comic

arctic talon
#

I agree

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

The only exception being Amber

arctic talon
#

Its much better paced

#

Amber stuff dragged on

opaque coyote

But that's because she went from being a non-character to being a bitch

arctic talon

and was weird

#

yeah

crystal forum
opaque coyote
arctic talon

It would have made more sense if she thought he didn't care about the relationship

I've been reading red rising and when a certain character had sex with another character I almost stood up and cheered

opaque coyote
# arctic talon He suffers less

Like when Mark fights the Viltrumites when Omni Man gets freaky with the bugs.

Originally he gets his shit kicked in.

But he actually wins against one of them in the show.

crystal forum

i want him going ape shit more often

arctic talon

since he's actually winning against Thula

#

okay enough of me ragging on multiversus

#

its genuinely a shame it died

spring cairn
#

the best fighting games are the ones you don't play and just watch the cpu beat the shit out of each others instead

arctic talon
#

platform fighters need more competition lol

#

i quite like smack studio

#

Super smash didn’t add eggman it’s dead to me

SF6 has a new function where there's CPUs based on pro players

i heard its good

but im taking a step back

but modding 10 billion characters in and hosting a cpu tournament is where it's at

arctic talon
#

so shrugpriest

#

my favorite fighting game literally looks like this on Steam lol

spring cairn

I went with a random faction in tww3 for my campaign and rolled bretonina

I hate them because I hate cav

Not that fun to micromanage 30 billion horsemen

they don't even have good cav until t4

Human torches team up is crazy

arctic talon

💀

#

I don't even hate them because of the usual stupid memes

#

they're just boring

spring cairn
#

they need stuff badly

#

it still shows they were not intended to be playable at the very beginning

arctic talon
#

Norscans and Bretonia are both genuinely

#

I gotta rewatch tithes

storm jungle
#

minus the first episode the other two are very good

#

or well about as good as you can get i guess

languid meadow
#

I've been getting back into custodes and talons in general, and got reminded of the second episode of tithes and the awesome lictor fights

its very neat stuff

Mustard does a lot of videos on these wacky and important vehicles in history

which is not surprising from the US military

it's like the 3rd time they've played with the concept/tried it

crystal forum
#

and they'll probably try out railguns again in a few years when they forget the amount of money they've wasted

#

don't have to be very smart to get government funding

languid meadow
#

Nah they skipped railguns lmao

crystal forum
#

they did not

#

navy tried so hard to make railguns work

languid meadow
#

I know of the testing raaaaaaaaaah

crystal forum
#

i hope powered exoskeletons dont end up being a funding scam as well

languid meadow
#

I'm talking how they just skipped over railguns and are committing to lasers fully it seems

arctic talon

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

those lasers are for those cruise missiles

arctic talon
#

Tbh the lasers are also like

#

Probably not bad at hitting another ship if the need ever arises

crystal forum
#

ships dont even shoot eachother in visible range

#

cruise missiles have that much range

languid meadow
crystal forum
#

plus a laser wont melt steel from kilometers away

#

certainly not a ship hull at least

#

we're not even close to that level

arctic talon
#

Nah it clearly will

#

Jokes aside the laser is cool

crystal forum
#

it's a cost effective solution to drone/plane/missile spam

#

lasers win yet again

#

did you know a laser can fuck up a tank

#

you can fry all the sensitive sensors the crew uses to see outside with a powerful laser

arctic talon
#

Neat

mystic frost

Kropp was shot in the gut by a sniper, as he bled out he pleaded for someone to help him. His cries were cut off by a high powered lasgun discharge to the forehead.

Early into a mission Dachslaus engaged with a horde, however he underestimated the dimensions of his surroundings and slipped off the edge of the ruined hab zone. He managed grab the ledge. Dachslaus begged not to fall. Helpless and dangling for his life; a team of armored heretics equipped with two handed chain axes emerged finding an easy kill. Using their weapons like hammers they mauled each of his hands, and he fell long and far into the abyss of the underhive.

Herker rounded a corner and encountered a patrol of heretics at least two dozen strong. She was caught in the open and failed to react to their fire. She was killed instantly.

This is just like the time when GW retconned the Femboy Inquistion sect

smh

Havent seen this format in a long time

# opaque coyote

Gonna take a note from the folks that hate femstodes and just ignore the last couple retcons (yellow las and wraithbone)

#

Then go about my day

sharp pollen
#

please tell where was the yellow las

outer wave
#

According to Elite, in some of the older art

sharp pollen
#

oh its not so rough then

#

i thought its from something recent

outer wave
#

Ive just been hearing a bit about GW doing some retconning on stuff, and I thought the yellow las stuff was also relatively recent

dusk patrol
#

It works

opaque coyote
#

Default settings is red

#

Higher power makes it piss yellow

outer wave
#

Thats a fair way to interpret it

opaque coyote
#

Same thing with the laser

#

or maybe it's just dependant on "pattern"

arctic talon
#

thats about it

sharp pollen
#

oh yeah maybe ive seen it in some arts you send here

#

thats why

#

alright thx

arctic talon
#

alright I think I've posted enough

#

point being it does exist its just like

#

weirdly absolutist lol

green loom
#

Can we retcon anyone that complains about retconning

arctic talon
#

Anyways war com is like

#

terrible at lore anyways

#

they've gotten a lot of stuff wrong before

#

so I just ignore it

I just know some people already saved this thing and getting ready to link it in an argument

Which Xenos race is the biggest threat to Humanity? Tyranid? Orcs?

ornate estuary
#

nids

#

imo

modern rapids
#

also "Xenos" is High Gothic, so would the casual world/Low Gothic word used just be "Alien"?

modern rapids
#

at least you can outwit orcs, you can sow chaos, you could even trick them to start infighting

#

or you can kill key targets and wait for the waagh to cool down

#

but for Tyranids? what can you even do... are there any "queens" that you can kill for the horde to disperse or?

raven stone
#

Think the largest node organism IoM encountered is the Norn queens or something and even then that is not the actual Hive Mind.

modern rapids
#

Also a complete side note, but do the Tau not care for cooperation with humanity?

Like they are fine with the human race existing (Unlike the other way around), BUT they still want to rule over humanity?

Like I am guessing the average Joe's quality of life under the Tau would be much better than under the Empire, but you would still be under the rule of the Tau as an inferrior species?

modern rapids
raven stone
#

That is what has been theorised but never outright confirmed by lore

dusk patrol
#

Right now it’s probably Nids

#

But it fluctuates and it wouldn’t take much for Necrons to become it or Orks to build momentum and become it

modern rapids
modern rapids
queen laurel
#

Mutations or custom made by the hive mind

#

but they still obey the hive mind because well what's the use of having a tyranid that has independence

queen laurel
#

and you know incredibly funky tech

modern rapids
queen laurel
modern rapids
#

so some Tyranids do have a consciousness of their own

modern rapids
#

oh

queen laurel
#

they are basically drones that can think for themselves

modern rapids
#

so all of them are just bodies controlled by the single hive mind

queen laurel
#

this guy is smart enough to exploit the enemy's weaknesses

#

and can operate relatively speaking on his own no problem

#

he's more of an individual than your average lictor

#

but since it's still a tyranid it still obeys the hive mind

modern rapids
#

so this Death leaper has a mind of its own? Like its own thoughts that are separate from the Hive Mind, BUT at the end of the day it is always obedient to the Hive minds commands?

modern rapids
#

I am so confused haha

queen laurel
#

fulfilling the hive minds command

#

in the 1st place a tyranid is incapable of having its own thoughts separate from the hive mind

#

even the swarm lord which is the most individualistic of the bio forms is still bound to the hive mind

modern rapids
#

but there is some type of mind in there that experiences all that, like its not just the Hive Minds consciousness experiencing everything through this guys eyes?

#

like he has a consciousness, but its like 99.9% just following the hive minds control?

queen laurel
#

it most of the time it will think for itself

modern rapids
queen laurel
#

on how to do it's job

#

think of it as basically as a perfect drone

#

Can follow orders and can think enough for itself to outsmart your enemies but not enough to the point that it's its own being

modern rapids
#

in combat if its going to swipe with its left or right claw

modern rapids
#

thats up to him most of the time, right?

queen laurel
#

yes

modern rapids
#

aaaah I see

#

thank you

queen laurel
#

but not smart enough to be their own beings

modern rapids
#

Does the Tyranid hive mind work through telepathy or pheromones?

modern rapids
# queen laurel Can follow orders and can think enough for itself to outsmart your enemies but n...

I am guessing from the individual Tyranid's point of view, it wouldn't feel like some mindcontrolling overlord trying to issue you unresistable commands, but more like just pure instinct that compels you to act and nothing feels better than to obey that instinct in whatever it calls you to do (obviously said instinct is so strong to these very undeveloped brains that there is no way to even resist it)

modern rapids
queen laurel
#

they have creatures that use the warp but

#

the hive mind is a complete byproduct of the tyranid race

modern rapids
#

so psychic powers can be used without the warp too?

modern rapids
queen laurel
modern rapids
#

Also do we know at all how intelligent the Hive Mind is? Like in its actions can we see any kind of "big picture"?

Does it just want to eat any meal big enough or does it have some grand strategy of conquer?

or does even the Hive Mind work purely off of an instinct for survival and reproduction?

queen laurel
#

even seasoned commanders can struggle from it because it can adapt so much

modern rapids
#

"but instead it is a grand agglomeration created from the psychic presence of untold billions of Tyranid creatures. It is a nightmarish and unfathomable intelligence that allows Tyranids to coordinate and adapt as if every Tyranid creature is merely a part of a single massive organism, one which is utterly focused on consuming all other life"

oooh so wait... it's not some "overlord" being, like it's own physical creature somewhere, but just all Tyranids combined?

Then to goes to orange, then yellow, then white, and then finally blue which is the hottest

#

So I like to think that the yellow lasers are just the Lasguns switched to max

#

While red is just the default power setting

arctic talon
#

All of the tau’s client species are second class citizens

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

Yes

#

The average person in the imperium lives an absolutely abhorrent life

modern rapids
#

Like do the Tau have some principle in not terminating/enslaving Humanity? Do they have some principles of treating other races fairly?

arctic talon
#

Tau don’t believe in slaves

#

And they don’t like genocide of sapient species as long as they don’t do some horrific thing and exclusively do it

modern rapids
#

like would they just oppress Humanity as hard as they could, IF they could? Or would they treat all of humanity better than the Empire even if they had unlimited power?

arctic talon
#

They wouldn’t oppress Humans worse then their other client species

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

Tldr self governance(generally)

arctic talon
#

Orks, Space marines, tyranids and dark eldar

#

Are on their genocide list

modern rapids
modern rapids
arctic talon
#

The tau do have prisons and labor camps

arctic talon
#

They don’t have a place in a peaceful society

#

Which is the end goal of the tau’va

modern rapids
# arctic talon Yeah

But is slavery of other humans (excluding prison camps) sanctioned in the Empire?

arctic talon
#

So yeah

modern rapids

If you’re a dissident you’ll be re-educated

or well

arctic talon

No

They won’t

modern rapids

I mean I guess you could get servitorized for some minor work place mistake lmao

arctic talon

Worst case scenario you get resettled in the ass end of nowhere away from your family

If you haven’t done anything wrong

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

They’re still an authoritarian state

#

That practices eugenics

#

And are a heavy surveillance state

#

Have you’ve played helldivers 2? Or helldivers

#

The tau empire is like super earth

#

Except more evil

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

There’s barely any social mobility for people who aren’t in the Tau caste system

also the whole "greater good"; does that just mean "A universe with no wars, only peace and coexistence" ?

arctic talon
sharp pollen
#

had a theory from some guy in other server, that all that ELDAR ORE retconning if for Votann to go and take it

modern rapids
#

or is it just a sham for "Tau rules all"

arctic talon
#

One moment

#

Let me grab the tenets of the greater good

#

BRB

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

The greater good involves perfect harmony and the combining of each cultures strengths to counter the many weaknesses other cultures have

#

Though the greater good is essentially cultural genocide

#

The culture is subsumed and integrated and then everything that doesn’t fit in gets thrown out the window

modern rapids
arctic talon
#

That doesn’t even apply in 40k

#

But the Tau empire are pretty evil lol

#

Their evil is just more benign

#

It slowly creeps in hidden under a nice exterior

#

They’re also like

#

Still an expansionist empire who’s hungry for more land and have a dominant race who practice eugenics

A bunch of modern dictatorships

opaque coyote

They still refuse to even consider working for them for 0.01 seconds

arctic talon

Fused together

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah comparing them to super-earth is actually very accurate

#

but they are less goofy fascist about it

#

its a lot more "orderly"

In the imperium you’re not even guaranteed to have running water

In your hab block lol

Yeah their aesthetic is also a lot more utopianist

#

buildings, vehicles, devices etc

its all very good
