Seal clubbing is
Something interesting to me
I get why they do it but also
Baby seals are so cute
It is needed to cull the population
i never truly considered seal clubbing
Yeah
Maybe it’s your real calling Jay
because seals live very far away from me eternal
Maybe you’ve been missing out this whole time
I knew a Canadian who said he had, but he also smuggled drugs and did cocaine while we played csgo
IM BREAKING THROUGH
ok
Join the Canadian Rangers and you get to seal clubbing for free.
It does feel like something where it would get annoying and I’d be thinking “why can’t we just shoot them?”
Just do fly bys with a chopper
It’s more humane prolly
Even the perfidious Inuits in Greenland just shot the seals smh
Clubbing them to death?
Because if you bash the poor things skull in with one swing it presumably dies instantly
Big IF
Yes, they do.
They use like a pick axe, it is a 1 hit kill.
You need to make sure you get your stealth bonuses though
What? The inuit club seals too
Honestly it was more or less that and then he would ace 1-3 rounds yeah
Yes
They have a special club/hook made for it
Hey how do udnerwater guns work????
Idk who to ask
I’m such a pussy, I couldn’t
They have specialized ammo for it
And aren’t normal weapons
Ugh
The APS underwater assault rifle (Russian: Автомат Подводный Специальный, romanized: Avtomat Podvodny Spetsialnyy, lit. 'Special Underwater Assault Rifle') is an underwater firearm designed by the Soviet Union in the early 1970s. It was adopted in 1975. Made by the Tula Arms Plant (Тульский Оружейный Завод, Tul'skiy Oruzheynyy Zavod) in Russia, ...
Yea but when I lived in Greenland they just used rifles instead

God it’s so comically sinister looking
Ohhh probably more humane but tbh I would think the club would be a faster kill
It uses a cylinder of gas as recoil spring and use needle bullet because it flies better in water.
The fish seeing that be like:
It's for the hunters to not feel bad
Idk a round to the skull
Lmao
Probably does the same job
Good for digestion
It's illegal in Nz some guy went to prison for doing it not long ago
I remember living in an apartment building and the guy above us was a hunter who'd hang his seal kills out on the balcony
The blood would drip down on us
It’s only done in Canada for population control reasons
That’s awful lmao
seal tastes good btw
i tried some prepared by inuit buddies
Neat
Is it comparable to any meats you’ve had before
Or is it special
The blubber and stuff is really good
Better than shark for sure
TIL I taste good
idk how to describe it
Greenland sharks are just full of piss
We taste like pork
We do
also like 7000 years old
We are the most similar to pork
You guys tried it?
Too many chemicals
Elite
Human I mean
You monster
My grandmother forced me to
you can just eat a person who's going to stop you
And then I cried
Nah but iv read interviews w that jappenese guy who ate his backpacker roommate
It was really funny
lol
i eat guys all the time

Ah, they keep that tradition alive.
how could you tell
Idk it’s subtle
I vaguely recall seal tasting similar to whale, kind of like ocean flavoured game
I’m a real detective
Not that long ago, Japan was a savage land.
They’re gona be talking about your murder victims like this
Samurai used to practice bow and arrow on stray dogs and had the right to behead anyone on the street
I tasted dolphin before...
Whale was pretty good yeah. I’ve had that.
They also are pediphiles
Probably Gator?
(They were wrong)
you are a certified southerner
If I could I'd try every animal
Alligator meat is not as good as crocodile from my experience.
The gifs hate you tonight
they walk slow until they sprint
Man
and they run so fast
Yeah Crocs are fast
Gators aren’t so bad
Don’t look as cute
I do as well! Do you want to volunteer to be my human taste specimen?
Idk why
Saltwater crocodiles are awesome
Crocs are really cool but
no eat french women like a normal person
I like how in Tokyo ghoul human livers are considered ideal solid food for baby ghouls
Because it’s soft
In aussie they eat people
Well they do that here too
They dont want to volunteer...
I think it would be easier to name
What group of people historically have never eaten people
Because it’s prolly like almost none
A kid will go missing for like 3 weeks and they find it under a bank rotting , crocodiles are awesome
I dont see that as awesome I just mean cos there dinosaurs
It worked for that one Japanese guy, not that it was voluntary
I respect consent.
Fear makes the meat taste better/j
Genuine thing btw that some people believe
Lol
I want what I’m eating to know they’re prey
My autism flavour is dinosaurs and transformers lmao
Kind of want to watch the Hannibal cooking scenes 🤔
Wot?
It’s funny cause
i wish hannibal had a scene of eating a testicle
He’s having an old friend for dinner
No no no, you guys get it all wrong.
That bit off the movie where he's eating the guys brain while he's still alive 
On the whole people think animals taste better when they’re afraid
Dude that show made the meat look so fucking good
U want a relaxed kill imo
remember to boil animals alive so the meat tastes better
Shame he was cucked before he could do it in the show
Interesting
Honestly I think eating human would be disgusting
I watch it like every other year because it pops
There was a article about how they got a 3 star chef to make the meals
You'd have to be starving
Hannibal was a good show
They had to figure out how to make them sinister looking and delicious
I feel hungry now...
It’s bad for the body
Fk
was the actor eating real human
No
Crazy I know
Prion disease is an anti cannibal myth
It's makes you sick
You know how cows get mad cow?
Nah Like it actually fucks w your body
They’re just trying to horde all the best meat for themselves
That's how you get mad human.
big money involved in the anti cannibal trade
Yeah makes alit of sense
Cannibals get a bad name and it’s all propaganda
wolf do you know how many animals are cannibalistic
Just Big Non-Human Meat
The cost of steak would go down if we ate human meat
Kicking down on the little guy
Yes, and they’re not as fragile as us
Lol
Theres a huge supply to meat the demand
I want to call in the FBI now, but then I remember that Im part of this............
Those Papua New Guineans were just fine 💯 💯
I’d try human meat if it was lab grown tbh
They are all emaciated w massive stomach swelling
I’d try it if the person consented and nothing wacky was done
And I knew it was safe
i will lobby my local government representative so we can have some more pro human meat into politics
Someone call mods, this chat get weird.
We can solve the homeless crisis
Why can’t I sign “Cannibal donor” on my license huh?
I think I'd pass because I'd think about guy who consented to being eaten and they just annihilated his dick on the pan
You can do that on insurance card where I live.
No no that’s a terrible way to prepare them
they overcooked it too
Smh
funniest shit ever
Only if I get to choose my cannibals
Blowing it up
I don’t want uggos eating me
Do u reckon coma patients sometimes go missing so their organs can be donated
Only sexy cannibals please
Honestly yeah I could see it
Yes
There has been cases in some countries
There was a big scandal in uh
they should donate organs to my stomach
I think a Latin American country
you should donate your organs to me so I can sell them
But yeah it happens yeah
Like it's disgusting
If my career fails and i get laid off, i will become an organ harvester
Latin, South Asia, China, Africa, etc.
i'm an oregon harvester
I love oregano
i live in oregon and im a farmer
I wish that I'm joking.
There's a massive black market for it
Also China and its prisons….
It's not a joke people waking up in tubs of ice with organs missing
“Glorious CCP has no organ donor waiting lists! Do not ask why!”
I heard, but don't know, that Falung Gong members are organ harvested in China because they're a weird cult and an enemy of the state
When I was young, all of the adult around me talk about that and that I have to be careful go playing alone.
healthy childhood
Denji is the #1 cook tbh
The Organ Wars

why does japanese meat look so different
even their steak is weird
Hehe
I was told stuff like this too
The Ghibli effect
they eating sludge over there what the fuck
also sushi is a meat?
Fish is meat
A lot of it is fish for one
aren't there sushis that dont have fish st all
Yes
Yeah
Anyways the joke is
Also some that aren’t raw
It’s human meat
It varies
They do things like put a patty on rice w some sauce and that's a meal from a restaurant 💀
oh
Hamburg steak is good
Anything that is animal are meat.
does it taste good
Don’t you slander it
Did he know
Yes, considering he gave some to someone to try
Yes
It looks so unappealing I have not tried it tho so I can't talk
Based
A lot or japanese food is kind of meh. Its their "americanized" food that amazing
japanese food is like 8000 ways of cooking rice
Rice is love
i knew an american who never ate rice in his life
Dude asian cooking is like the same few ingredients
Rive is life
With slightly different ways of using them
Yeah and it’s great
Yeah
That applies to a lot of types of cooking tbh
Now that I think about it
Same with Italian food
Many of the French food are evolution from poor people food.
italians eating nuts and olives before they got the tomato from south america
Real Italian food compared to the American stuff is so different its not funny 💀
Everything's raw or mixed w raw stuff
Learning how to make fried rice was a fun time
Your telling me a shrimp fried this rice??!
if i try boiling something i will end up burning the water
I do find it funny Denji is actually a good father figure
Hahah same I'm useless in the kitchen I have a few meals I can do and that's it 😂
My friends partner managed to set pea soup on fire
Whattttt
I put the fire on low one time while boiling some dumpies and went to bed forgetting it was on once 🙂
It is, everyone is baffled
I learnt how to cook because... well... absent of parents.
Well that makes sense
that's an achievement
Pea ham soup is godlike
All night on low
You burned your pot
Its actually okay
But I have the tastes of a medieval peasebt
Peasantcore food fucks good
I eat porridge for breakfast in the morning 😂
I am the cook
Hey, at least we are moving away from eating human!!!!
But im also lazy as shit
We did it chat.
The stalker diet
Instant noodles are life
Too bad, I think stir fried human wouldn’t taste bad
Porridge with butter makes me a happy man
I probably have heart problems from the Sodium
Soy milk is good
Never tried soy milk I can have milk tho so its not really a problem for me
Some people just can't have dairy feel bad for em man
Soy milk isn’t milk
I've been watching an excessive amount of Julia Child recently I'm boutta make a ton of coq au vin
lactose intolerance is God's way of showing your sins
Imo the name soy milk sucks
Tbh
Soy milk is best enjoyed as it’s own beverage lol
No I know it's not milk it's for people that can't drink milk
Nah but the name is still bad imo
It is white so it is milk... (Not my definition, don't quote me)
Gonna turn this bad bitch into some dinner, that’s what you guys have done with this talk
Looks good
Coconut milk is the same thing.
I've a dairy problem, I'll buy blocks of cheese and just eat it
Have fun cooking it
hey dont insult your mother like that
And you cannot call it coconut juice.
Coconut milk goes amazing in Thai green curry
I’d make a joke about being short because of me drinking soy milk when I was a kid
But I’m just short because my parents are
Lol
whoever invented swiss cheese needs to be sent into an asylum
Hahah I'm short too
Swiss and emmenthaler, I'm munching on it straight
I'm short because I'm born in Asia...
you are no longer on my good list
I fuck with any cheese
I'm like only 165ish cm
even maggot cheese?
Maybe 170
Im 1m70/5'7, not much better...
I dont know that in feet
I am 3/4 of a foot taller than Elite
you're all tiny
Give or take
Not maggot cheese it doesn't count its liquid
manlet chat
Lol
Twinks in the chat
I'll never forgive the Irish for poisoning my bloodline around the year 1000, I'm marginally shorter than I should be
How do women deal with it
When i hear that word I think of a level 20 pvp wow charecter w best in slots 😂
LOL
Not wrong
I don’t get why they even like wearing heels
Ask Dil for her experience
I don't really get it either
She ain’t the heel wearing type
6'3 which is taller than my whole family so skill issue
I'll never forgive the crown for what they did to ireland
My GF likes wearing them because they’re fashionable
I don’t think it’s worth the pain though lol
There’s an upper limit to height where it starts to cause health issues
my back already kills me
Rip
People think the troubles was the start no no no after Ireland fought for the crown in Afghanistan or around there they all came home to the famine because the lords stopped farming there lands they took from the irish
My dad is ridiculously tall but my mother is genuinely at the threshold for being a legal midget and I'm right in between
At least my back works tho
take estrogen
Human genetics don't support much bigger size.
There's still shit going down there over the 6 counties
What
i just want him to take estrogen because it would be funny
I don’t get it
i would find it funny
there is not much sense to it
No more joke privileges Jay
i spent 30 minutes today laughing at a screwdriver
This is in the vague area of femboy 1ksons so I'm allowed
Now observe this bad boy
Steak
Did u render the fat first
Cow

Steak is one cow mince is like 20
Gonna cook it for 15 now
It's the bacteria from it
Yeah my cousin has a farm
And we buy parts of the cows from it
I think we got half a cow this time

Bacteria is actually bloody scary damn nice real meat is so much better than supermarket
It’s awesome

I miss having farm friends
Yeehaw 🤠
Wholeass sheep just for free
Human farm when?
Oh wait
What
I was kind of raised in the country untill we moved to the city

We are farmed for labor.
No it’s in the oven
Vest way to cook steak
Yeah pan sear
Get a nice crist and put in the oven
I can't cook much but I'm very good at steak and roast vegetables n that
Sadly I don't own a skillet
And kumera
But tonight I’m just getting steak
Yeah
Get some Sour cream going mixed with some Sriracha sauce
why not use 4140 steel like a civilized person
I do mayo and sriracha
You'll have to try Sour cream sometime w roast veges it goes well
And lemon and stuff if I have it
Yeah I do sour cream with veggies
It goes well with most stuff
Indeed
Umm 42crmo4 is the civilised option 🤓
I will always argue, there’s very few sandwiches which aren’t immediately improved by adding chips
Fries or chips
Adds some nice crunch
Don't hate untill you try it tbh
It's good
It's funny Watchung rich people make these struggle meals and are like wow! So good 
I remember swapping raw packets of noodles at school for like proper sandwiches
suckers
Ah yes
Instant Noodles. The classic fucking College Student diet
Combined with alcohol
And coffee
Extremely healthy

No money
Oh yeah
My mum sent me to school w usually just a packet of noodles and a apple or something we didn't have much
I ated it all
I used to pour the flavoring over the raw noodles and eat it like thar
i will fucking attack you
I tried eating yakisoba for a week straight in college
It was not a fun time
You know its fucked when a mcdonalds big mac makes you feel 10x better
Yakisoba?
Ramen
Instant yakisoba is not good for you
Ahh
Stir fried noodles
Heart problems
It was experimental to see how cheap i could be
Sodium problems
Holy shit you can feel yourself dying
Goes on
Yes
Okay
Doesnt do jack lol
We have this really spicy brand over here called bul Dak or some shit
Literally people put like 1/4th of the spice in cause its to much
Oh i have buldak in my pantry
They literally look red when made
I never eat it though
Iv never tried it
I recommend it
I'll have to give it a go sometime i also enjoy spice
I’d you don’t like spicy food don’t
The carbonara one is probably the best one
But I love burning my tongue
In a good way
I don’t like pain for the sake of pain lol
I accidentally bought the 2x spicy pack
Yeah there's a point where it becomes to much
Its sitting there for a rainy day 🫠
Feel all light headed and dizzy n shit 
College budget moment/hj
Fake fictional food is always fun to see
Because it either looks tasty
Or it looks evil and gross lol
The food of starwars makes me feel uncomfortable
Genshin has like
The fucking tastiest food pictures and I hate it
Why
Ff15 moment
If it looks good what’s the problem
Tbh nothing to me mentally beats monster hunter food
In terms of comically large quantities of good looking food
Makes me hungry
That show Cooking in dungeons food looked good
Yeah
And the cooking animations
Although tbf it's more typical choices
I love cooking anime
Funny ass animation
Yeah he fucking dies.
Also new video: https://youtu.be/Md8EsYvt0vs
#monsterhunter #monsterhunterfreedomunite #monsterhunter3ultimate #montage #kitchen #monsterhunterkitchen
Dungeon Meshi has good looking fantasy food
Kinda has to after all

In real life that thing tasted so bad for me.
I hope if something’s focus is on food
It’s food looks good
love monster hunter food scenes
Foods like the one thing that brings everyone together
Pancake with spray cream on top
While the mainline stuff
Is always like actual meals
I think it’s a cute touch by the dif teams
Gunlance>>>
Here I eat pancakes with maple syrup, which might also be the reason I think other taste worse.
FF15 food tech is still the best.
Does anyone remember the ff7 movies
Yes
Avent Children is nice
Comically large lobster
And remake being the continuation is great.
Ff used to be undefeated when it came to lore and story line
I wouldn't say undefeated.
But it's a v old game so that likely to happen nah I mean when it came out people were amazed
There wasn't anything like it at the time
There were a few.
I dont really remember any 9f them being as big world wide as ff was tho
Monster hunter wilds is missing the comically big meals
Chrono trigger and Zelda are pretty deep, but not everyone cared enough.
I want them back
Zelda is a really good game
I played one of the Gameboy games and was pleasantly suprised
Chrono was huge back in the day.
Oh yeah that was the main one up there w ff hey
Dragon quest is another
Kingdom hearts was a cool idea I kind of lost interest tho
Couldn't understand wtf was going on
Was like 10 tbf
The 3rd game is a money grab
I played the one where u start on a island
Then you go to like Disney world or someshit
Idk that game was wild
1.2 or 1.3 something
is kingdom hearts the game where you commit warcrimes in Kurdistan
In the west, there is Daggerfall, a cult classic.
Game bigger than great Britain
what kind of kitchen knife is serrated
The best
that's a steak knife
Yes and it goes in the kitchen
for consuming not preparing
kitchen knives are ideal for penetrating the sternum
If you say so
People think you need a chefs knife that costs 500$ u really don't my freind works at 5 star hotel that serves like politicians and shit and he told me aslong as it's sharp it doesn't matter
Yeah my aunt got me a nice set of knives for Christmas and
Legit I basically just use the same two
He prefers to use ones that are cheaper and he's comfy w I think it's mainly thar whats comfortable for you
At the end of the day
KNIFE?
UGG NEED NO KNIFE. UGG NEED R O C K
i use a 5 inch bowie knife
Knives aren’t complex technology
my claymore is sometimes too cumbersome for cooking

The good ones from what iv heard just blunt and get damaged to easily
Man fr, my exact replica of Gut's Dragonslayer Blade (More like a hunk of iron than a sword) might be a bit too big for cutting steak
Idk though
I want to have the highlander Saber for cutting my steak
But I’m I haven’t had to sharpen a knife for kitchen use in a long time
THERE CAN ONLI BHE WON
i want to have an oversized meat cleaver that i can cut cheap cutting boards in half with
to feel manly
Tbf most knives last a while if you're like
Using it just for cooking
Unless if it's made out of like literal plastic
Isn't it funny how we thought plastic was a more sustainable idea
Now we all have 10% microplastics in us
Yeah generally they last a long while
Eh I'd prefer to be away from all of it
can't have that in industrialized society
that gun is bigger than the fucking ogyrn jfc
Finally
I've found another person that agrees

multi barreled guns are cool
always
Those come on valkyries don't they? Or are those even bigger
bigger
Sheesh
Bigger. Rotor Guns are mainly just miniguns
And also considered to be outdated
Dark age tech?
rotor cannons are essentially rotory stubbers
Ah got ya ty
"Rotor Cannons are commonly carried by a Voidsman-At-Arms to augment the firepower of their squad. These weapons have earned a variety of nicknames such as: whirgun, deck-clearer, and the Emperor's chainsaw.[3]"
Dark age tech is pretty controversial Iv heard it's mostly banned or people are scared of what it does / no idea what it does
this would make sense since the morningstar is a rogue trader ship
Basically, they weren't good against armored opponents
But were good against a bunch of fleshy people/xenos
i dont think the assault cannon is actually a replacement
the heavy bolter def. is though since its whats a flat upgrade when the two appear
the assault cannon is much more exclusive i think
Oh yeah nvm it replaced the Autocannon for SMs
I would also assume the Cannons for people who can't weild a bolter?
nah the assault cannon is just a strict heavy bolter on crack
besides all this, please fatshark I want bulldog heavy stubber for veteram
its too expensive to see much use out of the space marines
Apparently both the Auto and Rotor cannon were used on SMs
Got ya got ya
yeah that sounds about right
So basically the same thing just uses different ammo types
But it's still used by other subfactions
Bigger and on crack
Basically
Rotor Cannon had the issue of not penetrating armor
Ah OK ok
Assault Cannon fixes that
I like how I can ask questions here
the assault cannon can essentially do both the things the autocannon and the rotor cannon can do at once
while also being better than both
Although canonically apparently Rotor Canons are used by Voidsmen At Arms who prevent enemy boarding actions and put down any uprising by the large numbers of indentured workers on Imperial Navy vessels.
The US army also uses rotary guns on their gun ships
Problem is that it probably cannot be used by a regular person
But who fucking cares if you're a big dick space mairne
It has a warning not to spin the barrels cause it shoots
"It is not uncommon for Voidsmen to be requisitioned by the Inquisition or even Rogue Traders."
Rotor Cannon for Guardsman class
come on
we can get it

yeah, even normal space marines normally can't use them hand-held
they need the suits or mount them on vehicles
The naval aspect of wh40k and the immaterium are my favorite things about 40k.
Someone was telling me their ships are so big they have a mixture of cultures
Basically a moving planet
if you like RTS's i recommend getting Battlefleet Gothic: Armada
its all about the naval sphere
I have been looking at that game alot on youtube
As far as I understand, Big E has a strong presence in Warp. With that he performs miracles and whatnots like Saint Celestine...
Then there's mention of 2 things in warp, Star Child and Dark King. Both ties back to Emperor. I don't understand. What is what?
They sacrifice 1000 unstable psykers a day to keep the astronomican up so humanity can use it as a navigation system in the warp however if u go to far out u won't be able to see it
If the astronomican fell the empire would fall
So cool
There's been in books where the warp spits them out in dead space where thus is no stars and they can't find the astronomican
Dark King is ||what the Emperor would have become during/at the end of the Heresy if he would've let go of any limits he imposed on himself with the powers from the Warp. Had he forgone those limits he'd beaten Horus easily but would've lost all the meager parts of humanity he had left in him.||
Star child is ||what they call the Emperor's soul or the Emperor reborn during the current era of 40k, it has been expanded little so there's not much concrete information about it beyond what you can read on Lexicanum||
nah, its not really relevant
and theres no name they could give that would be satisfying
I know but they kinda wrote themselves into a corner on that one
Define... name.
From what I understand, what people call you is your name. For the Emperor, everyone calls him Emperor. So that's who he is.
Legally speaking, what name was put down in the papers by the government to identify you. In 40k universe, he is (or was) the government.
Just my unpopular opinion but for someone so important there's really fk all lore for him
I'm assuming it was kinda' by design.
From what I know, there used to be some lore about his past life (before he revealed himself as the Emperor). But those were retconned or shoved under the rug.
But before he became ruler of Terra n that is what I'm interested in ahh that's a pity
Like how he was born and what he did.
I guess it would be hard to please everyone doing that
Half of the fans will hate it
I myself am a total noob in 40K universe. Most of what I learned is from Lexicanum, youtube videos and just annoying people here with questions.
I've come across some very old stuff (considered outdated afaik).
I love the old art we used to get
And yeah same here I don't know much about anything haha
the less we know about the emperor the better
born name presumably
But I enjoy learning stuff 😎
his ancient mesopotamian mother presumably didnt name him "emperor"
what we know the emperor wasn't probably born the old fashion way
Maybe it's german 
He's got something to do w the chaos gods
Made a deal w them or something close
Or tricked them or something like thar
Explains why he didn't tell his children about them
||Apparently, Emperor was created by sacrifice of all the earliest psychers (Shamans) in Neolithic era to deal with warp-gods and whatnots. ||
||Dude actually spawned a bunch of biological children called Sensei (stupidest name ever). These Sensei are kinda' immortal and roam around the galaxy doing fuckall. By doing good deeds, they can gain favor of Big E's warp version by doing good deeds for humanity. Favors comes in flavor for special powers. And also they are kinda' immune to demonic influence. ||
Yeah he's a related of all the shamans and wise men that lead humanity in the past
I think his power deffs was a gift from the gods of chaos
Idk tho 😐
I'll just shhhhhh 🤫 sorry guys
I personally like the idea of him not being born, but created.
Because, birth generally involve a father and a mother (except Jesus, depending on your religion). This kinda' complicates things with further questions.
it's pretty cool, but he actually was born the old fashioned way per canon
the mass sacrifice from the shamans did happen, but it manifested in a reincarnation, not a spawning
he has an uncle who killed his father
"The Emperor was born to mortal parents on Terra in the 8th Millennium BC[3b] in a primitive proto-Hittite village along the banks of the Sakarya River[14c] (in Anatolia),[31] manifesting his powers as a youth. While a young adolescent, the Emperor's father was murdered by his uncle. While preparing his father's body for a primitive funeral ritual, he received a vision of his murder. Later, the boy who would become the Emperor calmly approached his uncle and stopped his heart with his psychic abilities, displaying neither sorrow nor malice."
Must've been difficult for the mother to push out all the golden armor and swords and halo and stuff through the birthing canal.
this IS 40k
More info on Erda would've been nice.
But she's disliked by fans (probably) for some reason. Anyone care to explain why?
People dislike her late addition to the story, I don't really mind it at all
and I suppose people don't like the idea of the emperor having needed help in the creation of the astartes
plus some really don't like the idea that the astartes are named after her
i ultimately think that there is no telling of that story that would've been satisfying, but there's lots of reasons. some people perceive that she indirectly caused 40k while that doesn't seem to have been the intention when writing her
even though Astarte is a known name irl
among the reasons Jerk 0 Matic said
for my part, i think horus heresy should've never been written about in the first place because of its inherent demystification
but it is what it is
so i dont dislike the erda lore more than any of the other HH lore
I tend to agree to an extent but I've really really enjoyed the setting as well
I liked the time when we knew less but I didn't mind getting the opportunity to explore the mystical past
What the others said, also I guess, in a in universe reason, she's the reason the primarchs scattered.
And shes pretty unapolagetic or unwilling to admit maybe it was a bad idea, as the daemon primarchs are literally descending on Terra.
tbf she probably didn't know of their daemonhood
Which I personally think works out, shes basically just a different side of the Emperor's coin
She did
She was a vastly powerful psyker.
And she was aware of what was happening
She just wasn't willing to say she may have been wrong.
I can't really recall her mentioning that she knew of their ascension, warp fuckery and increase of power sure
Which is a common theme with perpetuals
She doesn't say it directly but she's aware of the rebellion, the collapse, and they've been on the planet for months at this point.
This is deep into the siege we first see her, and daemons are swarming the entire world.
oh that for sure, I was just referring to the deamon part directly
And she's a powerful enough psyker to take on four juiced greater daemons at once
as in Mortarion, Fulgrim, Angron or Magnus being full fledged deamons at that point
There's just no shot she isn't aware
Even the less psychic primarchs were able to feel their brothers presence.
Anyways, I don't dislike her inherently but yeah shes a super late addition.
in other news, at least someone here might appreciate that Iron Hands are objectively the best chapter in the Battlefleet Gothic campaign
their ships start out at level 3 instead of 1 when you control Medusa, which nobody else gets
Of the marine AI’s they’re also the most helpful tbh
Since they’re into Orks lol
It was nice to see them show up.
Also ngl
The Medusa intro goes hard
It’s easily the best or second best intro to a system imo
Medusa isn’t even my favorite sector in game
Tbh
But the intro is very good
Yeah its a really cool intro
Which hilariously doesn't mention the Iron Hands directly at all lol
It also has I think some of the most if not the most bonuses possible on a planet.
“YOUR ARE TRESPASSING THE TERRITORY OF THE IRON HANDS STATE YOUR PURPOSE”
Yeah Medusa is very good to hold
It’s also immune to getting destroyed
I just wish I enjoyed playing Astartes more in BFGA
They’re
Quite odd play style wise
It makes sense lore wise but god it’s weird lol
Tbh they’re by far one of the strongest imperium fleets
They’re up there with imperial navy
it's always fun to land a big red button on an enemy ship
I always like to do the biggest ships too if I can.
it's just a shame that ork ships are notoriously hard to maneuver
Mechanicus sucks because their play style doesn’t work with imperium ships
They play like chaos
But worse
I just use mechanicus stuff as the backline
Marines almost play like eldar lol
Abuse novas and rad fields and all that.
Yeah the campaign is great
Since you can mix and match
Really let’s you get creative with comps
space marines are one of the few factions where just bigger is always better
Yeah its nice
I always try to bring one battlebarge.
ordinarily you want a balanced fleet comp but with space marines all their ships are dogwater except the battle barge
Just ram and board the enemy.
and the battle barge is SCARY good
Abuse the shielding
nothing like turning 2k worth of the enemy into drifting hulks
Marines play like eldar almost lol
just never put them against tyranids
Yeah they're like
More meaty Eldar
they're an all-in faction for sure imo
Yeah
they want to get in as close as possible and offload as many marines as they can
There’s some irony to chaos being
The boarding spam is great for whittling guys down too
By far the most passive faction
What 
With how you want to abuse range and use lances
Even if you can't hit them, you can slowly tear them down with boarding.
Chaos ships are lighter armored then imperial ships
And have a fuck ton of lancers and bombers
i basically do not even consider the guns on space marine fleets
They want to play back
i see them as gigantic delivery vehicles for space marine boarders
Before closing in for the kill
There all mostly heresy ships hey
to that end, the best ships are the ones that can deliver the most marines
The guns are basically there to do damage as you're ramming or trying to board
Yeah
Its almost passive damage.
Imperial navy is like the all rounder tbh
Don't they in the lore try to board
its all about getting marines and killing the enemy
Yes
Like there ships have teeth
Yeah
But chaos in BFGA isn’t the best at boarding
