[gray umbra]

i know dont judge a book by its cover but with japan

i do

[dusk patrol]

I do not trust those anime guys

They always fail me

Generally at least

[winter vessel]

The “granny but looks like a child” anime trope. I’ve seen that one

[dapper gyro]

Oh right, the Dandadan one with the "granny" thing... I put me off right the way.

[dusk patrol]

Frieren at least is a more interesting take on someone with that long a lifespan interacting with races who live much shorter

A lot of times writers don’t really bother to make that interesting

Beyond like “oh no I’m gonna be sad when you die” or whatever

[winter vessel]

I can’t tell whenever they do that is to exaggerate how Asians can “age gracefully” compared to other ethnic groups

[gray umbra]

no lol

[dapper gyro]

Frieren story is also more serious and actually focus on living a life aspect.

[dapper gyro]

No, it is 100% "sex sell".

Well, in a more politically correct term, fan service.

[dusk patrol]

Yeah anime is just waaay more overt with it

Japan has uh…different social conventions with sexualizing stuff

[winter vessel]

They have a penis festival

[dusk patrol]

Same with Europe, they’ll call us prudes but the downside is you get some actual pedos churning out stuff amongst there

[dapper gyro]

Japan is well known to be hypocrite.

[dusk patrol]

There’s good sides but people tend to

[hallow saddle]

i bet all the ppl who get outraged about female space marines also jork their peanits to nsfw female primarch coomer bait

[dusk patrol]

Vastly overplay the good

And ignore the bad

[dapper gyro]

I never see the need of female marine, or female custode for that matter, in the setting.

[winter vessel]

I was satisfied already with the SOBs. But it didn’t matter much when they made the change for Custodes. Being a Guard fan saves me that waste of hatred.

[dusk patrol]

It’s the whole meme of you know

“This thing” 😶

“Same thing from Japan”

[dapper gyro]

Put men into the Handmaidens of the Everqueen in Warhammer Fantasy... to see how people would react.

[winter vessel]

A lot of “REEEEEEEE” angry noises. Did they need to do it? No. Should they make that the center focus on their remaining lifespan? No.

Been getting more into Skitarii as of late

Speaking of, are they capable of higher cognitive function then a servitor? Like independent thinking?

[languid meadow]

The custodes change doesn't really affect anything and the fighting over it is just ridiculous

https://tenor.com/view/i-can't-have-this-conversation-again-tony-soprano-the-sopranos-gif-16274142811887245291

[languid meadow]

Yeah they're individuals but can be overridden by their ruling tech priest iirc

[opaque coyote]

Raven Guard by M_Inferna

[languid meadow]

It depends on the tech priest however

[dapper gyro]

Look cute, my bird boys

[vagrant fox]

I always forget the sable brand is a thing for the Raven Guard

[opaque coyote]

Japan in general seems to be the opposite of the USA.

They are much more hesitant about gore.

But are much more LIBERAL (gasp) about sex

[dusk patrol]

That’s how they prefer it

[dusk patrol]

Tbh there’s not much a lack of gore in Japanese stuff

[opaque coyote]

While America is the opposite.

You can have a man be bisected with his guts spilling out.

But God forbid you show a woman with her tummy out

[dusk patrol]

Japan is just, odd. Idk.

[opaque coyote]

Also true. Kinda separated towards adult stuff though especially recently.

Like DBS has much less blood compared to DBZ

[languid meadow]

I have thoughts on america and their opinions on this stuff but if I say anything I will be in trouble

the history of why they think that way is insane and I believe all people involved should be shot into the sun

[dapper gyro]

I think America was quite open about nudity, but not so much with violence.

Especially with the usual "videogames cause violence" speech.

[opaque coyote]

Tbf that was more a weird double standard since movies had a ton of gore

[dapper gyro]

Meanwhile, stuff like God of War and Dante the Inferno are completely fine.

[vagrant fox]

Do we know how the ever sensible raptors deal with it? I can't think of anything honestly

[opaque coyote]

...because they came after that whole debacle

Doom, MK, and Postal did have ppl argue about it tho

[winter vessel]

Never played the latter.

[opaque coyote]

Although.

Older anime generally has much less sexual stuff in general

Well less compared to recently

So maybe America and Japan kinda did an inverse

Fuck if I know tho I wasn't alive back then

[dapper gyro]

A lot of nudity

Without much gore

[winter vessel]

I guess that tracks

[opaque coyote]

That released in like 2010 tho

And most people stopped really focusing on the video games cause violence

I think it only really flared up in the 90s with games like Doom and MK

[dapper gyro]

Nah, there are several wave of that speech.

It didn't happen only once.

[opaque coyote]

True but I generally think it waned since then

[languid meadow]

kind of

[dapper gyro]

When GTA5 was released, they starts to blame the game again for the violence in the USA.

[opaque coyote]

Popped up it's head sometimes but generally wasn't as bad as it was back then.

I think it completely died out now since Video Games are like

Solidified now

[dapper gyro]

Which is funny since it only happens in the US...

[languid meadow]

Boomers and Gen Xers still get on the news to complain about video games every now and again, but dw guys it's videos games and not the systems we put in place

[winter vessel]

Heh, I remember watching on TV how “No Russian” made the news headlines

[rose thorn]

Quoxk question

Can beasts and cav move through terrian?

[opaque coyote]

GTAV literally takes place in Los Angeles

[rose thorn]

In combat patrol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly as somebody who lives in the hell state known as California. It is genuinely accurate map wise

[languid meadow]

I think so?

[opaque coyote]

It's actually impressive how much detail GTAV has

[languid meadow]

at least beasts I think so

idk about cav

[opaque coyote]

Like I recognized a lot of buildings

And it gets how hellish it is to live there too but that's obvious

But seriously though GTAV is impressive due to how almost 1:1 it is for Los Angeles at points

[dapper gyro]

You say "hell state"... I see it as normal minus the amount of violence and drug. I'm a maple syrup drinker.

[opaque coyote]

Now if only they'll fucking release GTA6

[opaque coyote]

True.

Idk why house prices in Vancouver are so high

Seriously you somehow beat us

[dapper gyro]

China...

[languid meadow]

No matter how bad it gets here in Canada I will always be thankful I'm not a yank

[opaque coyote]

Violence and drugs still happen

[viral halo]

God bless America

[opaque coyote]

Though in Cali it's less violence

More drugs

Weed's legal here

I also find it funny that

Weed is still a drug. And it still has negative effects for sure.

But it's also less harmful than alcohol

[dapper gyro]

Canada is a weird place, but I definitely love it here.

[opaque coyote]

So

Yeah

Idk why we hated weed so much when alcohol is technically worse in effect

[languid meadow]

80s politics

I will leave it at that

[opaque coyote]

Sure there's the chance to get psychosis but literally every drug has a chance for some mental damage

[winter vessel]

Working in retail, people always gave me a look whenever i asked for ID for cough medicine

[opaque coyote]

Lean moment

Idk who the fuck decided to mix cough syrup with soda

[winter vessel]

I would kill the individual behind making strawberry flavored cough syrup.

[opaque coyote]

I like to think that they originally did that to get through the taste since

Jesus Christ does cough syrup taste vile

[viral halo]

association with hippies and crime

[opaque coyote]

Same but Cherry

[viral halo]

Cough Syrup fucking sucks!

[vagrant fox]

it's because alcohol might have ruined my family for nigh on a thousand years but it's based

[viral halo]

lmfao

[opaque coyote]

How the fuck does weed enable crime. You literally become relaxed to the point where you don't want to do it.

You literally cannot stand up straight

[green loom]

Siggy do you remember that

Kill team Hungary dude

[winter vessel]

I switch to Lemon and honey tea as my primary soother for sickness

[opaque coyote]

I guess poverty and addiction?

But like

So does alcohol??? And painkillers???

???

[viral halo]

Well, it was illegal, and it was trafficked in illegally, and was sold by drug dealers, which is what I mean

[dapper gyro]

Ginger too! Don't forget about hat.

[viral halo]

And in the 1920s weed was associated with wanting to erode traditional family structures

[opaque coyote]

Huh??

[green loom]

We keep coming back to that for a lot of stuff huh

[opaque coyote]

TF did people think? That weed made you homosexual?

[viral halo]

look up "reefer madness"

[languid meadow]

Some still do though it's a very rare thought process

[sacred bluff]

Not everyone has the same reaction to weed

Some get anxiety

Not just relaxed

[dapper gyro]

Hey, let change subject... this starts to get depressing and ugly.

[viral halo]

lmfao

[green loom]

I randomly recalled that dude, so funny

[opaque coyote]

True. Bad trips do exist

[viral halo]

Weed makes me angry therefore I no longer smoke the reefer

[winter vessel]

I mean, I do see the benefit of weed assisting with poor health. But recreational use can be unpredictable with bad trips

[viral halo]

haven't since college

maybe did it 4 times

[opaque coyote]

And also brain chemistry is different

[viral halo]

now cocaine, that's something I CAN GET BEHIND

[opaque coyote]

For each person

[winter vessel]

Honestly my biggest fear is CTE

[green loom]

I got used to it once so it mostly just calmed me down but after nothing for like 3 years

My eyes literally started spinning

[sacred bluff]

Don't do MMA

Or boxing

[opaque coyote]

I would rather piss myself than use Datura tbh

Seriously why do people use it

It literally sounds like an actual nightmare

[jade holly]

I’m thankful to be clean my entire life

Besides sugar

[opaque coyote]

At least with cocaine the short term benefits sound interesting.

[jade holly]

[opaque coyote]

Me fr

[green loom]

New and interesting high

It's like how the more porn someone consumes the weirder shit they'll be into

[winter vessel]

Yeah. I ran into a pole because I was struggling to stay conscious on an XC high school practice run. Been four years since then. And I’ve been fortunate to not have any side effects

[vagrant fox]

Isn't datura used by a bunch of inner city office hippies who want to clense themselves of original sin or something before going on a high they can't possibly comprehend

[green loom]

Idk I don't play divinity

[vagrant fox]

you should it's good

[jade holly]

Why use drugs? Just cast Cure Disease smh

[opaque coyote]

Bro I don't want to fucking go into the warp

[winter vessel]

I honestly thought datura was fictional because I played new Vegas. Had no idea it was real

[opaque coyote]

[green loom]

I need that +2 STR boost dude

[opaque coyote]

A lot of the drugs in NV are actually real.

Hell Chems are basically just renamed drugs

[vagrant fox]

I should destroy my mind with datura and piece myself together again to become stronger, I'm sure it'll cure me of my mental illness

[green loom]

What's Jet

[jade holly]

Breaking news:

Man mauled to death by hairless radioactive bear after ingesting over 10 lbs of numerous drugs and engaging the bear in a fist fight

[green loom]

Isn't it just manure fumes

[languid meadow]

yeah

which is a real drug

[winter vessel]

“Brahmin shit” fumes

[green loom]

Damn

That sounds pretty awful

Then again the druggies I do know have kinda lost their ability to reason so

They'd probably try it

[vagrant fox]

Jenkem is real and it's cool

[opaque coyote]

Jet (before it was retconned) originated from Brahmin shit.

A real drug exists that actually parallels this called Jenkem

Which was originated from human shit

I wish I was joking

[jade holly]

Why do drugs always have such stupid names?

[dapper gyro]

For me, caffein and beer are enough.

[opaque coyote]

"Jenkem is a purported inhalant and hallucinogen created from fermented human waste. In the mid-1990s, it was reported to be a popular street drug among Zambian youth, created by placing feces and urine in a bottle or a bucket, sealing it with a balloon or lid and leaving it to ferment in the sun; afterwards they would inhale the gases generated"

[languid meadow]

You don't fw with krokodil?

[opaque coyote]

Literally smelling shit to get a high

[dapper gyro]

The Russian thing that was the hot thing back in 2010.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah sounds like Jet to me.

[languid meadow]

hmmm yes the drug that melts my skin that would be a good thing to put in my body

[vagrant fox]

Yeah krokodil is the thing that'd melt your flesh and skin

[dapper gyro]

I hear that it is obsolete a few years ago.

[languid meadow]

yeah idk what they're doing now it's just a drug that stuck with me throughout the years

[jade holly]

Tbh I’ve never understood the idea of ingesting something actively harmful to your body just for a moment of feeling good

[opaque coyote]

Although since FO4 retconned Jet's origin. It's probably Meth.

Especially with the "focus"/slow down effect you get

And the "reenergizing" in earlier games

[jade holly]

What if we gave Jet to Space Marines?

[opaque coyote]

Nothing happens

[jade holly]

Bruh

[languid meadow]

that's the thing addictions make no sense from an outside perspective, but the user it's the only thing they want. Because the human brain is really bad with some things

[jade holly]

Don’t tell me Space Marines are immune to drugs

[opaque coyote]

They have high resistances to drugs and already have inhumanly fast reflexes.

Although they're not immune

So I guess better reflexes and

That's it

[dapper gyro]

Nah, they are full of drug inside them.

[opaque coyote]

Well even better than they have before

[jade holly]

I know the Space Wolves have to brew essentially super beer just to get drunk

[opaque coyote]

Somehow

[languid meadow]

it just needs to be really high doses/concentration

[vagrant fox]

Their suits often dispence one thing or another, they're just resistant to weaker doses

[languid meadow]

like the stuff marines take would kill normal humans

[green loom]

It's less beer, more just outright poison

[jade holly]

So, beer

[languid meadow]

eh not really

[green loom]

Nah it's like

Straight alcohol

[jade holly]

Non alcoholic alcohol

[green loom]

Mixed with actual deadly poison

[languid meadow]

maybe modern day but in ancient history beer was better than most water sources for an actual safe drink

we made beer before writing iirc

[dapper gyro]

Just add sugar to alcohol, bamm

[vagrant fox]

It's alcohol but it has something in it that neutralizes their oolitic kidney for a while

[jade holly]

Yeah cause water was very dirty back in the day

[green loom]

That's a myth as it turns out

[vagrant fox]

whatever it was

[jade holly]

Entire reason why the story is Jesus turning water to wine and not the other way around

[opaque coyote]

So in general

Psycho is PCP

Mentats are probably Adderall

Med-X is Morphine

Jet is a Jenkem/Meth combo of sorts

[green loom]

It was cleaner than it is now

Iirc though that's a myth

Born from the age of sail

[jade holly]

Next thing you’re gonna tell me is Nuka Cola is soda

[green loom]

Although they still would've devoured beer anyway since people would likely get bored of drinking just water

[jade holly]

Prohibition be like:

[languid meadow]

it also wasn't as alcoholic as later iterations

[winter vessel]

I had this obsession of collecting bottle caps from glass soda I purchased at my grocery store when I was 14 which was my fallout phase

[languid meadow]

The history of beer is cool and fundamental to our development as a species

[jade holly]

Beer is liquid bread

[languid meadow]

which means drunk driving is a right

[jade holly]

[green loom]

Have you ever been ghetto moonshining

We have a guy with a trailer with a distiller(?) stuck to it

[lament shoal]

What's the reason for Magnus' fall to chaos?

[green loom]

He goes around town just making moonshine for people

Or rakija or whatever

[winter vessel]

No charge?

[green loom]

Fruit spirits

[green loom]

Small charge

I think

Never asked

[winter vessel]

Long as he gets something out of it

[opaque coyote]

Weirdly enough about Nuka Cola. It's actually a fruit flavor blend, so it's probably closer in taste to like Dr. Pepper or something than Coca Cola

[green loom]

Also he overestimated himself and was played very easily by the god of trickery

[jade holly]

Or Pibb Xtra?

[dapper gyro]

Root beer

[jade holly]

Dumb name but goated soda

[winter vessel]

Sunset Sarsparilla

[storm jungle]

It doesnt help that like half his brothers hated him too tbh

[languid meadow]

Zim

[storm jungle]

average Russ and Magnus interaction

[green loom]

Nah more that his sons would randomly mutate into monsters

[jade holly]

Pibb Xtra if you don’t know, is just spicy Cherry soda

[storm jungle]

Yeah but that goes without saying

[jade holly]

Not super spicy

[languid meadow]

me when I see another shovel joke

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

[jade holly]

Enough to give a slight tang to the taste

[winter vessel]

Me after seeing Leman breaking Magnus’ back: “DO IT AGAIN I WASNT LOOKING”

[lament shoal]

"I PUNCHED OUT ONE OF HIS LUNGS! WHY DOES NO ONE REMEMBER THAT?!"

[storm jungle]

Nahhhhhhhhh 💀

the slander is WILD

[jade holly]

“Hey bro have you checked out that show Invinci-“

[hallow plover]

Redpill me on Russ

[storm jungle]

okay but to be fair peak show

I need Conquest next week!!!

[hallow plover]

is he a dumb wolfman like the avg space wolf?

[opaque coyote]

I think Vim is actually related to a British soft drink known as Vimto. It's still going today actually

[green loom]

We're told he isn't but he kinda is

[dusk patrol]

*hearts

[jade holly]

Wake me when we get a Tech Jacket spinoff show or something

[jade holly]

[arctic talon]

Yes

Latest episode

[lament shoal]

He acts that way but its actually just a ruse to get people to underestimate him. He's actually very smart

[jade holly]

Well give him a spinoff smh

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes super smart

anyway

[arctic talon]

They got the big ones from the comics

Except for spawn

[storm jungle]

wet leopard growl

[arctic talon]

But spawn was

A like 2 page cameo

[opaque coyote]

Spawn dying was insultng as hell

[green loom]

How many heroes bit it this episode

[arctic talon]

I should be allowed to use this in the cyberpunk sequel

[storm jungle]

🫡

[storm jungle]

damn Marvel Snap is still a thing?

[opaque coyote]

Genuinely wonder why didn't Mark just say ||"Yeah this is what I did. I'm in the middle of conquering the planet. Please come back in 10 years."||

[dusk patrol]

You know what’s more annoying than the times it’s in one book?

Redditors not shutting up about it for almost 15 years

[jade holly]

New season just started, prehistoric avengers

[dusk patrol]

[languid meadow]

he was emotionally fucked and not thinking straight

seasonal card is Agamotto and he introduced a new type of card: Arcana

[rose thorn]

Killl meeee

[storm jungle]

No.

[arctic talon]

Why

[storm jungle]

Actually fuck hold on i gotta make a meme real quick

brb

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though I don't understand why they didn't do wolf growl

Like

[storm jungle]

feline

[jade holly]

For what reason?

[storm jungle]

close to wolf idk

[dusk patrol]

Because Abnett thought it was overdone in other books

[opaque coyote]

They literally have wolf iconography spammed everywhere.

[dusk patrol]

He talks about it in a little interview

[languid meadow]

No man you don't get it! It had to be wet to get the message across

[spare osprey]

spawn died? i thought the invincible just said he killed his spawn

[arctic talon]

Spawn died in the comics to that invincible yeah

[opaque coyote]

Kinda stupid considering Spawn is OP as shit

[dusk patrol]

Its not even a bad description tbh

[opaque coyote]

And would mop the floor with Invincible back then

[rose thorn]

Figuring out all the rule exception to combat patrol

[winter vessel]

Mmm

[dusk patrol]

Spawn gets very goofy

[arctic talon]

Welcome to hell

[jade holly]

Does it make you want to formulate an escape plan?

[storm jungle]

Its not bad

its just said

over

and over

and over

and over

up there with fucking "bolters roared" for the 10th time

[opaque coyote]

It's like the most 90's edgy comic thing ever

And I fucking love it

[storm jungle]

definitely not as good as KRA-KOOOOM

[rose thorn]

Going from spearhead to combat patrol is like drinking water and going to drinking water with gravel in it

[dapper gyro]

Koom?

[arctic talon]

I prefer CHOOOOOM for volkites

[storm jungle]

Choom?

Cyberpunk?

[arctic talon]

Die

[dusk patrol]

Apparently he uses it 19 times in the book

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

honestly

its at least not like

you know

"the end and the death"

holy fuck

actual trauma

[arctic talon]

I’m not some trashy NC poor person, I went to college/hj

[dusk patrol]

Samus

[winter vessel]

Someone once texted me “coomba” and I didn’t want to correct them

[dusk patrol]

Samus is the

[arctic talon]

“I am the end and the death”

[storm jungle]

WATCH OUT GUYS

HES RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

https://tenor.com/view/deepfriedwoomy-gif-20893284

AAA-

[opaque coyote]

The funniest joke in that comic is that Spawn tries to change his body to make himself look like his old human self.

But Malebolgia fucking trolled him to transform into a white guy whenever he tries

[arctic talon]

Are you the end and the death

[vagrant fox]

I'll never forgive the Irish

[dapper gyro]

Have you read Darkness?

[dusk patrol]

Samus is the man whacking off next to you on the bus.

[arctic talon]

Horrid

I did not need that imagery

[opaque coyote]

Rebecca would definitely call somebody that

[dusk patrol]

Samus is the homeless man yelling racial slurs at people on the sidewalk

[rose thorn]

[winter vessel]

The best ride or die gal in the series, 10/10

[jade holly]

You know all this talk of trauma and death makes me wonder

[vagrant fox]

Samus is the guy who shat directly away from the toilet in a public bathroom

[rose thorn]

I love her but why does the shooting phase make me eat glass

[jade holly]

Did a Space Marine ever shoot themselves because they couldn’t handle chaos anymore?

[arctic talon]

No

[jade holly]

Or are they just immune to trauma

[arctic talon]

Suicide is a cowards way out

[jade holly]

I call it:

[arctic talon]

Also yeah they’re pretty trauma immune

Aside from warp stuff

[vagrant fox]

They deal with trauma by becoming more based and unhinged

[opaque coyote]

Genuinely a gal you want by your side

[arctic talon]

Everytime we see a marine with trauma

[opaque coyote]

Respect

[rose thorn]

I suggest spears of the emperor if you wanan read something about psychology…

[arctic talon]

It’s usually related to daemons

Or warp shit

[sacred ginkgo]

An orphan a day keeps the nightmares away

[dapper gyro]

hmm...

[dusk patrol]

Can’t have PTSD if you’re the traumatic event

[jade holly]

I love this image so much lmao

[winter vessel]

Are those the ones that ritually eat their dead battle brother?

[dusk patrol]

[opaque coyote]

They just do the old human tradition of stuffing it inside and never acknowledging it until they die

[rose thorn]

No

It’s a book

[dapper gyro]

The cannibalism is kind of outdated for SM, they still have the ability, but no one talks about that anymore.

[opaque coyote]

I think they usually only eat like the brain anyways

To get the actual memories

[jade holly]

“I have been accepted by grandfather Nurgle”
“Grandfather’s blessing engulfs me”
He is currently being eaten alive by an immeasurable amount of diseases that discard his humanity

[dusk patrol]

There’s definitely cases of it and chapters who do it a lot

[opaque coyote]

They rarely do it for their enemies.

Mainly because they don't like doing things like

Feeling guilty.

[jade holly]

World eaters

[dapper gyro]

Not even. Otherwise, Titus could have done that instead of running around.

[languid meadow]

I have cyberpunk brainrot lined up and I'm debating on posting it

I wonder if a SM can get corrupted by eating a chaos worshipper.

[vagrant fox]

I'm reminded of that Iron Warrior eating some ork brain to learn how to fly an ork plane

[dusk patrol]

Mostly loyalist tbh

[opaque coyote]

Do it

[jade holly]

Would you eat a chicken leg that someone else vomited on?

[dusk patrol]

Mortifactors are infamous for cannibalizing their own

[jade holly]

Why the Hell would you eat a chaos marine?

[dusk patrol]

After they die

[winter vessel]

Oh wait now I remember, it’s the Dragon Spears who do ritualistic eating it remember their brother in honor of them

[arctic talon]

Potentially

Tbh a good chunk of marines

[tough haven]

'ungry

[dusk patrol]

[arctic talon]

Have cannibalistic rituals

[nocturne crest]

I was thinking more along the lines of a cultist.

[arctic talon]

Flesh eaters

[winter vessel]

Damn choice of song, gonna make me cry again

[arctic talon]

I hate how I can understand it, I hate even more I could understand it pre 2077

Im ngl

[nocturne crest]

Also, you could probably figure out what the chaos warband/legion is doing.

[arctic talon]

David’s crew getting slaughtered was funny as shit

Peak cyberpunk campaign

[languid meadow]

Yeah It's bad how I can understand it

[arctic talon]

Biting off more they can chew lol

And dying horribly

[opaque coyote]

Edgerunners can be summarized as a campaign gone wrong

[jade holly]

Adam Smasher was in there for like 5 minutes and stole the show

[opaque coyote]

(well right lmao)

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-edgerunners-rebecca-cyberpunk-adam-smasher-youre-ruining-our-moment-here-smash-gif-26854687

[arctic talon]

Nah, it’s just a campaign gone normally lol

Aside from smasher

LOL

[winter vessel]

I do like how they never make them have time to grieve for the viewer to see. It’s just “they’re done, move on to the next”

[dusk patrol]

Smasher showing up is a sign your DM is a dick or you pissed them off

[arctic talon]

RED and 2020 are both absurdly lethal

If anything more of them should have died

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Julio was a DMNPC lmao

[nocturne crest]

Then again, if one Flesh tearer can give a CSM the black rage, maybe the same could happen in reversem

[arctic talon]

Julio is hilarious

[opaque coyote]

Homebrew rules

[winter vessel]

It was them saying “no more after this”

[languid meadow]

"Go on kill the boy!"
"Who the fuck are you?"

[opaque coyote]

David was like

"Wait for just a seco-"

Julio fucking dies

[arctic talon]

just lucky rolls lol

Lucy could have died from black ICE

[jade holly]

I bet Adam Smasher is how normal Imperium citizens view the Iron Hands

[rose thorn]

Sorry quick question, are invuln saves the same as ward saves???

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-know-falco-cyberpunk-edgerunners-shrug-meh-gif-26919458

[arctic talon]

Falco rolled lucky on bleeding out

[arctic talon]

Yes

[languid meadow]

Falco fans stay winning

[dusk patrol]

David is the one dork who keeps rolling way too good

[arctic talon]

David rolls absurdly well for humanity loss

LOL

[winter vessel]

Falco was the lucky one, despite losing an arm

[arctic talon]

Keeps on getting all 1’s

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though, the scene where Adam literally rips out the fucking hack is terrifying

[arctic talon]

Roll 3d6

For humanity loss

Rolls all 1’s

[dusk patrol]

[storm jungle]

his demon avatar helps 💀

[arctic talon]

Tbf

It’s just black ICE

[rose thorn]

ITS DIFFERENT?!??

[arctic talon]

No

Invuln can’t be modified

[dusk patrol]

Dudes ICE is probably second to none for Arasaka

[jade holly]

I can’t find the image of it but I love the shot of him cocking back his arm for the heaviest punch in anime history

[arctic talon]

You pick invuln or normal save

[winter vessel]

Isn’t it there’s a tolerance for how much you can modify based on your humanity or something? I don’t remember what it’s called

[arctic talon]

Yeah

But you roll

[dusk patrol]

The funnier joke is she thinks she can pierce it

[arctic talon]

Whenever you install cyberware

Or take the average

[opaque coyote]

Genuinely kinda wish like

When you're hacking, some bosses have unique "Cyberspace" forms

[arctic talon]

Rolling is more fun

[opaque coyote]

Like you quick hack and you just see Adam as a fucking demon

[winter vessel]

I suppose

[arctic talon]

Tbf it should only be the voodoo boys, Sasquatch and smasher

Most people don’t have ICE that sophisticated

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. Would've been a terrifying detail tho

[dusk patrol]

Smasher as a boss fight is sadly super lame

[arctic talon]

Smasher has black ICE since he’s a full Borg

He can fit that shit

Net runners also should have black ICE

Tbh

But insta death

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/black-ice-key-and-peele-gif-10524919

[arctic talon]

Isn’t a fun mechanic lol

[winter vessel]

Yeah. It peaked at Oda for me, Smasher was pretty mid

[arctic talon]

Kind of lame

The lack of

[opaque coyote]

Honestly wish Netrunning would be developed more in the sequel.

[arctic talon]

You fuck up and die in the video game

Ngl

V isn’t a net runner

Ever

[dusk patrol]

The issue is Netrunning is

[arctic talon]

He’s a solo with a cyberdeck

[opaque coyote]

Yeah he basically just uses a program

[dusk patrol]

Super hard to balance

[arctic talon]

It’s also super boring lol

Yeah

Net runners are

Absurdly strong

They’re usually sitting in a chair

[winter vessel]

I kinda wish we had a physical small deck like the one Murphy uses

[arctic talon]

Several miles away

[dusk patrol]

V netrunner build is pretty boring tbh

[arctic talon]

Those are only for actual net runners

[dusk patrol]

You just press the win buttons

[arctic talon]

V isn’t one

[winter vessel]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

Which is a shame but it makes sense

They’re a Solo

[winter vessel]

Which is why I always do a Solo build of pistol and sword

[opaque coyote]

V's like Gerald in Witcher 3.

He can use spells, and focus on them, but can't do some of their crazier shit that Yennefer can do

[winter vessel]

With a sandevistan

[jade holly]

“In Nurgle’s name our pestilence spreads”

The humble Iron Hand marine:

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Net running is also a nightmare in the tabletop lol

Netrunners basically have turns that are 2x as long

If they’re doing both meat space and cyberspace stuff

[opaque coyote]

Netrunning would be interesting as like

A side video game.

Not like a dedicated sequel

[arctic talon]

I agree

[winter vessel]

I remember a DM describing how a Netrunner views cyberspace when they perform a manual link to a port. Something along the lines of a dungeon or forest

[jade holly]

Iron Hands are the most cold and calculating of the Loyalist marines right?

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

[arctic talon]

Of the first founding chapters

[storm jungle]

they are one of them

[arctic talon]

I guess

[storm jungle]

theres very much even worse and colder ones out there lol

[jade holly]

How about inhuman of the first founding chapters?

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

Nah

MM are just assholes

they arent even cold

Minotaurs

Most evil first founding chapter?

Idk

[storm jungle]

yeah Minos is closer

[arctic talon]

All of them?

Lol

[storm jungle]

LOL

[winter vessel]

They’re a chapter of High school jocks is what I refer to them

[storm jungle]

yeah lke remember

they piss off so many people

[jade holly]

Salamanders when they see an unaccompanied Xenos child and they have a flamer in hand

[arctic talon]

Minotaurs literally have moms credit card

[storm jungle]

they cant even get proper logistics

[arctic talon]

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Night Lords ig

[storm jungle]

THEY STEAL FROM OTHER CHAPTERS

[arctic talon]

Replace xenos child with child

Who doesn’t hate heretics enough

Child violated rule #1919e53

[arctic talon]

BURN THEM ALL

[jade holly]

Mfw I learn firefighters use water and not fire

[winter vessel]

I think my favorite interaction between a Salamander and an Iron Hand was how the former schooled the metal head on the meaning of their war cry “flesh is weak”

[jade holly]

I like Iron Hands cause cybernetic tanks are always a fun archetype

[opaque coyote]

Iron Hands game when

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/i-know-better-now-gif-23447520

[opaque coyote]

Add technology as upgrades

[arctic talon]

I mean

The flesh is objectively weak

Augmentics are better

[opaque coyote]

Unless if boosted by Psyker juice

[jade holly]

Nurgle’s funny juice can wear away even inorganic stuff right?

[winter vessel]

Getting more and more into the Skitarii. I do like the look of their Vanguards.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah he's the god of decay. Although Iron Hands also still need to do things like breathe

So

W either way

[jade holly]

Admech and Iron Hands are my favorite “human” factions

[languid meadow]

Rangers and Vanguards are so peak

[jade holly]

Take a wild guess my favorite chaos faction lol

[vagrant fox]

Wrong

https://youtu.be/wgN1sLcAQnw

[storm jungle]

Iron Warriors?

[opaque coyote]

The Darktide Rejects should've fucking died to 10,000 diseases in their very first mission

[jade holly]

Yeah, I like heavy machinery

[opaque coyote]

Well if they're lucky

[jade holly]

Battle engineers are always sick

[arctic talon]

Praise the omnissiah

[dusk patrol]

Tbh the issue with people always bringing that up is, the Iron Hands know the origin and Ferrus’s thoughts.

They just don’t care, cause he’s wrong and they can prove it mathematically

[dapper gyro]

Raven Guard is very calculating, probably 2nd to iron hand, but they are not cold.

[jade holly]

Iron Hands will beat you with LOGIC and FACTS.

Iron Warriors will just do the opposite cause fuck you

[opaque coyote]

They are one of the few chapters who can admit that their dad had flaws

"Yeah Ferrus was great but he should've made his neck out of steel."

[arctic talon]

RG hate tyrants(ironic)

[jade holly]

If Ferrus was right why isn’t he here now?

[winter vessel]

“I’m a disappointment and I don’t care”-IH

This is a cool render of a Skitarii Vanguard when I searched on Arstation

That does look cool

Although how does bro even see

Inb4 the Iron Hands just become these later on

Funnily enough they’ll still hunt mutants

[dapper gyro]

Necron Iron hand

[arctic talon]

Average Archmagos/j

[opaque coyote]

Considering that some of their dreadnoughts don't even have the remnants of their body anymore

(Like they're literally mechanical goo or whatever)

They might already be there

[languid meadow]

pretty sure it was just a brain

[arctic talon]

It’s nothing

[jade holly]

Someone should find Ferrus’s head so we can get Master Mold in Warhammer

[dapper gyro]

Brain in a jar

[crystal forum]

modern day medusan immortal

[arctic talon]

It was silica animus

No flesh

[dusk patrol]

They have his head

[opaque coyote]

They grab Ferrus's head.

Put it on a new mechanical body.

Wake him up.

"GET FUCKED DAD!"

[jade holly]

I still really want an Admech class in Darktide ngl

[dusk patrol]

Or skull

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

Everyone does

I want it

[languid meadow]

Oh yeah I found it

[dusk patrol]

It’s somewhere on Medusa in a landmark called the Eye of Medusa, being perpetually watched by an Iron Father

[languid meadow]

the only cool thing they have going on

[crystal forum]

it's also a skull at this point

no skin left

[dusk patrol]

It was a skull during the heresy

[arctic talon]

Screams slurs in binaric

No one else can understand it

[dusk patrol]

Horus had a shrine to it on the VS bridge

[jade holly]

Ferrus commanding the Iron Hands as a head be like what Hermes did in that one Futurama movie

[dusk patrol]

And it has a X carved into its forehead

[crystal forum]

it's more accurate to call it a skull

[opaque coyote]

It would be funny if the way we got was like

"Hadron here. I want a vacation from work for a bit.

So I will be joining you."

[crystal forum]

doubt there's brain matter in there

[dusk patrol]

Because of like it is

And yeah some are completely machine although we haven’t seen many examples of this

[jade holly]

I like how alienated Iron Hands are from other chapters

[crystal forum]

brother lugmar still has one eye left so he's clean

[jade holly]

Even techmarines wear the colors of Mars as their main color in other chapters

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside.

A punishment for tech priests (besides servitorization) is literally getting their technology stripped away.

I can imagine a Tech Priest getting their technology stripped away in humiliation, sent to be executed, but managed to get free.

Would also explain how they're stripped of their upgrades

With level 30 having them have most of their parts back

[arctic talon]

They tore out my fucking mechadendrites those assholes

[jade holly]

Or have an expansion story where Admech become more involved and send in their own recruits or something

[crystal forum]

this sanctum of knowledge be breached by low quality jokes

[arctic talon]

Mechanicus politics are full of violence

[languid meadow]

That parliament must be insane

[opaque coyote]

Also Hadron is like

A nice tech priest

[arctic talon]

It is

[jade holly]

Mechanicus debates are the most philosophically thought provoking arguments. But to us they just go

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at each other until one yields

[arctic talon]

It devolves into violence often

[opaque coyote]

Like literally she is nice by Mechanicus to Meatbag standard

[arctic talon]

Now granted no actual weapons are allowed inside

So it’s just people bludgeoning each other

But people still die

[opaque coyote]

So a Tech Priest Reject would act 100% like a bitch

Just fucking insulting your teammates all the time

[jade holly]

Isn’t there one Priest who calls us “pre servitors”

[arctic talon]

Yes

Kayex my GOAT

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. I think Hadron also did but got warned about it

[jade holly]

Honestly there’s a Hell of a lot of horrible ways to go in 40k

[storm jungle]

Hadron is a complete cunt

[jade holly]

Becoming a servitor is up near the top

[storm jungle]

[languid meadow]

Holy shit canning of Charles Summer reference

[storm jungle]

Kayex is much nicer

[arctic talon]

The personalities for tech priest rejects epilepsy be, a massive asshole/bitch, cold emotionless, nice

[jade holly]

Who’s the one that speaks in poetry?

[opaque coyote]

100%

But in the Mechanicus that might as well be Kindergarten teacher friendly

Especially to disgusting reject meatbags

[arctic talon]

Nah

Hadron is just rude lol

[storm jungle]

Laati this is me @ you 24/7

[opaque coyote]

I am at least 95% sure he's high let's be fair here

[storm jungle]

oh yeah also spoilers

whoops

[jade holly]

Mod aboose

[storm jungle]

[jade holly]

Mods, send em to the servitor maker

[opaque coyote]

Like Kayex is literally the coworker that is high on the job

[arctic talon]

Hadron has 0 reason to be a bitch

But she is

to be fair he isnt high

[dusk patrol]

Yeah their whole clan structure really drew me to them

[arctic talon]

Ordo reductor my GOATs

[dusk patrol]

I like the idea a lot

[arctic talon]

Literally reducing everything to ash

Rather then surrender

[jade holly]

Iron Hands to me are the coolest faction because they are the logical extreme of what the Imperium stands for

[opaque coyote]

Because the Heresy would ruin their fun

[dapper gyro]

I would love to see a cloak made of human skin (sanctioned of course).

[jade holly]

and then also the really cool cybernetic arms and weapons

[storm jungle]

Hmmm

Them holding onto nukes and phosphex artillery to fire on themselves the moment they get overrun by traitor mechanicum forces

Everyone will die

Nah i meant in current day

Seriously though why does Admech of all human factions have the cowboy guns?

[storm jungle]

Its not just admech

[storm jungle]

also they arent really cowboys

[opaque coyote]

YEEEHAWW

[jade holly]

I know

But it’s weird they have lever actions

[storm jungle]

Do you

also its not weird tbh

its archaic

it fits the aesthetic

Their guns are more like las musket.

The Mechanicus literally says that innovation is a sin.

Ofc they'd use lever action

Dilara is choosing violence today, eh.

[opaque coyote]

Also their technology probably had to focus more on being rugged

[storm jungle]

Every day

[opaque coyote]

Since y'know

Mars

[vagrant fox]

That's inherently what I like the kriegers for. Each soldier is just a number, trained and indoctrinated to kill and die gloriously for the Imperium of Man and little else

Then there's shovel memes

Mfw people hope cybernetic advancements will make us all super soldiers

Me, knowing we’re going the path of the Admech

[opaque coyote]

happy gas mask noise

[jade holly]

PRAISE UNTO THE TOASTER

[arctic talon]

Also serbrys raider guns are lever actions

Because they’re meant to be simplistic

[storm jungle]

Jes Goodwin was cooking with that shit

[arctic talon]

They go long periods without proper maitnance or resupply

[storm jungle]

you know if you read the developer notes

it would be some shit like

[arctic talon]

They need something that’s like

[storm jungle]

"idk i was watching a western"

[arctic talon]

Long term

And doesn’t break easily

Galvanic rifles are pretty complex

[opaque coyote]

Tech Priest Clint Eastwood when

[arctic talon]

Galvanic carbines simplify the whole weapon heavily

And shorten it

[opaque coyote]

Actually a Western styled story in 40k sounds interesting

[jade holly]

That’s sick

[rose thorn]

Ah okay

[arctic talon]

But yeah the bolt action of the transuaranic arquebus and radium jezzail is

Not necessary

[vagrant fox]

I always imagined frontier worlds as cowboy esque

[arctic talon]

It cycles on its own

Also I love how most admech guns have scopes or even proper irons often

Augmentics can do the job

[dapper gyro]

Too bad bolt revolver is with the LoV, and the Ad Mech refuses to make it since there is no STC.

[arctic talon]

Phosphor revolver better

Smh

I like how phosphor and phosphex are inverted

Phosphor they can make the ammo but not the guns

Phosphex they can make the guns but not the ammo

[jade holly]

That’s more like a cyborg knight if anything

[arctic talon]

They have revolvers smh

[dusk patrol]

One thing that annoys me is when people act like augmentations are somehow a step beyond what marines are.

Part of it is people think it’s not an improvement or the same when it is way better, but like

You’re already taking kids and brainwashing and mutilating them

I don’t think making them cyborgs is much worse

[jade holly]

For me it’s not the augmenting it’s why they augment

Becoming a machine means less weaknesses that organics have

[storm jungle]

Depends on whose book it is.

[jade holly]

I was mainly referring to weaknesses like stamina, hunger, sleep

Those guys still do stuff?

[opaque coyote]

No

But they exist

Also Killer Instinct literally has Black Orchid flash people as her fatality.

And apparently the shock of seeing her tatas LITERALLY kills any male.

The females just give up in frustration

The 90's were weird

Although I can't help but wonder.

Would asexuals just be immune?

Although considering that her uh... killing move also kills a character that's a pirate skeleton. I'm not sure about that

[dapper gyro]

Don't need to overthink about that.

I love how nearly every warhammer crime book is just “the noble did it”

I wonder if he'd be able to tank a Bolter shot using his belly

[dusky scroll]

Are Primarchs also castrated? (Like Space Marines)

[shadow plover]

pretty sure neither are

just any libido they might have is suppressed

[queen laurel]

aren't they made Sterile

[shadow plover]

castration implies a medical procedure where the organs are removed or destroyed

but sterilization might be the case, not sure how well the topic is even explored in the setting

[opaque coyote]

No

Fulgrim is known to have multiple wives

[shadow plover]

to be fair having wives doesn't automatically mean they're boinkin'

[opaque coyote]

True, they were political marriages

Also

fun fact

Dorn had an adopted grandfather and is rumored to have an old blanket of his grandpa that he slept with every night in his bed.

[opaque coyote]

Also he did mention that he did actually love some of them.

The issue is that uh

He outlived them all.

'A wise man, your husband.' Fulgrim sat back. 'I was betrothed, once,' he continued idly. 'Several times, actually. Political marriages, of course. Made to seal binding agreements, or open negotiations with certain executive dynasties.'

Pyke didn't reply. His tone had become sombre. A rare thing, for Fulgrim. The Phoenician seemed to always be smiling, laughing at some joke only he understood. But now, he seemed tired. He rubbed his face 'I outlived them all, one way or another.'

'Did you love them?'

Fulgrim smiled slowly. 'Some. I think. At first. After a time, I stopped. Love was a weakness I could ill afford in those days. A billion lives rested on my shoulders, and any hesitation on my part would have doomed them all irrevocably.' He laughed softly. 'Or so I told myself then.'

Of course it didn't specify whether it was platonic or romantic or whatever. But judging by the fact that he genuinely seemed to be somber and tired when thinking back on them.

I do think he genuinely did love at least some of them.

It also didn't help that due to Chemos being a hellhole that the average lifespan was like

40 years old
