This is literally just me but in life
It looks too god damn human
NORMAL TEETH
fucking human teeth
so gross
fish looking ass
I only trained in cod mw2, my multiplayer existence is cursed, its like being born in a volcano and never being able to sweat as a result
the og one
MW2 multiplayer was unironically fun, I've never been so toxic in my life
gmod
oh nice! you have some level of culture,Im surprised and pleased
RDM RDM RDM RDM
PHANTOM PAIN GAMER
I see something solid.
I spent so much time on the rp servers pretending to be an elderly italian man
Half life 2 is so good Jesus
iv played nothing but rogue trader for the past week and half
MGSV is legit great to play when you got some background stuff on, i really lik eit
i love it
i thought it had godlike details
the fact that you have 4 send in the four crackhead games
my man, only reason im not playing it is im waiting for the arbites DLC atm
very good, I'm flexing hard
also the tension in mg5 stealth is the core of good stealth for me
I gotta replay Black Mesa soon
like actually praying that child soldier doesnt see you
Phantom Pain more like Fucking Busywork Pain
is the inquisitor game any good compatibility
I wish MGSV was fully finished, but I'll take what I can get
Martyr is like super goofy but not bad, its just diablo
does it end?
tbh its only unfinished on the story department
MGSV shouldn't have been an open world
honestly, maybe
Martyr lacks a little seasoning, it's almost there for me
id play martyr if the game actually ended
I think V is still great but Kojima absolutely ruined the game by pushing the budget
he just had way too many dumb ideas and wasted dev time
lol
the fact that V adds nothing to the overall lore aside from the ending twist says a lot
then the yakuza struck konami 😔
Well, to be fair, they didn't even want him on the game in the 1st place.
yeah but sitll
It is a retaliation move.
the fucking endless repeat enemy bases, I just put the game down and never returned to it when you returned to africa and I had to do it all again but this time with spicy child soldiers
What I can't say that
that episodic structure really made kojima wanna develop the game forever per episode, it probably wouldnt have released till like last year if they let him keep working on it
although it might have been the greatest of all time if they did
get the mod where you can kill the children
dilara rectify that
based af
have also been playing a ton of arma reforger recently

He wanted to move away from MGS and do other thing, but Konami forced him on making MGS5 and then discredit him.
I don't really care one way or another about the kids, the game design just got boring
memenami
So they just tried to be one up each other by being jerks.
umami?
Yeah agreed but again its why I dont really blame Konami too much for booting him, Kojimbo always had like such a dumbass obsession with some mechanics/game stuff, you can see that a lot in Death Strading
I havent played it
MGSV game play hits just right for me but I can do the same thing over and over probably because I'm a little autistic
but i do take your word for it
I was a super rabid fangirl once before i realised he just sucks
I can’t play any other Diablo clones now that I’ve played path of exile 2
Same. Path of Exile is PEAK
is poe 2 out of ea yet
no
Keep trying to wasd and dodge roll
awww
And shoot while moving
Playing a hammer warrior in PoE2 was a mistake, it's so slow
Skip d4
Can I show you a game called Darktide?
Leaves you feeling hollow
I have over 1k hours in Darktide 
i cant skip d4, I need my dark fantasy edge
Darktide and Poe 2 and Elden ring are satisfying
I played Destiny for 3.5k hours as well
Yeah art and acting great
Do the Krieg have psykers? I know there’s awakenings
Nah psykers are assigned to regiments
I am persecuted for my vocabulary
Psykers are auxiliar.
I mean there might still be Krieg originated Psyker, but they wouldn't be on the field with Krieger (in theory)
Yeah basically you gotta go to Terra first
In theory, certain books have it work in other way
And hope that it is not going into the grinder for the big E needs of blood.
i want big e to never come back
GOD DAMN IT EVEN IN THIS GAME
i dont like how he practically showed up when morty was beating up guilly
I never want Sanguinius to come back but we're both going to be disappointed
Don't worry, he can't spend his gene seed anymore.
you'll never escape the boring dystopia that is real life
But the unquenchable power of the warp would make shoveling so quick
i bet they use a shovel for a staff too
I almost, in the depths of my despair, want shovels to canonically not exist in 40k sometimes
but that's only when I look at grimdank
Dignomancy
I want tzeentch forces to build trenches
i dunno why
just get some pink horrors and some thousand sons and have them shovel
I feel itd solve a lot of their mental health crises
Honestly I kind of like that, with how planned but chaotic trenches end up being it'd be a snug fit
If the thousand sons were mildly more like krieg, they already would have won the war
Psyker are supposed to never be placed alongside people from their own worlds/culture
There are a series of book where a Cadian Sergeant get the awakening and train on a planet that isn't Terra, and then is sent to her previous regiment to fight alongside
Does Destiny pvp still exist
Are there good first person pvp sci fi or fantasy ish games
Most likely but I don't imagine any different than what it was
Some hard sweats with weapons they had to grind for dozens and dozens of hours that give them an inherent advantage
Then some annoying abilities that 1hit
What ever happened with that eve online extraction shooter
Also wtf is an extraction shooter
It's in development last I saw
Hope the timer runs out before everyone kill you or you ignore the zone and kill everyone
It can also be a literal thing where you have to grab a package and keep it
Like ctf
But I dunno, pvp multi-player games don't make a lot of sense anymore
The only shooter I'm in interested in and it's getting very close by the day is Doom the dark ages
They probably do, I've just personally lost interest in pvp fps
This is really sad or something but you know the game that absolutely had my heart rate through the sky etc etc
Main game eve online lol
Lol
Like both one on one and big battle pvp
With a fleet
Just heart pounding despite the fact that you’re pressing the function buttons and clicking on abstract icons
And there are 1 second ticks
Also the seasoned fleet commanders are amazing
Some of them are ex military guys or whatever it’s insane
Sounds fun
I think I enjoyed dow2 like that a lot too first time I played it
Love EVE, can't stand some of the corp cultures
You don't show up to a defense fleet or a little late and you get a dumbass big brother is watching you message
Disregard everything else you have going on show up or we'll kick you
thank you warhammer youtube channel
squeaky jiblet sounds like a regional british food
Absolute Bincreature
Well I guess I'm staying on garbage
Juicy Hotsnak
Yeah I really wonder about the lives of some of these people
runty krumpet
Turbo Jiblet
Grievous Crackers...so tasty it will cause harm
We were speculating on the first emma frost alt skin yesterday
They doubled down lmao

Mfw once the hot blonde ladies release suddenly Strategist and Vanguard aren’t always solo jobs
I've always said the largest impact overwatch had on the AAA market was showing publishers how deep gooners pockets are
Sometimes there's even a hole at the bottom of the pocket if they're a true gooner
Marvel would never let them
dude she will have the fastest lord vanguards around
i can just feel it
Hopefully she’s actually good
so far looking at her she seems be pretty good
From mid range support to switching to a brawler if the situation demands
Emma Frost more like
Emma Hot
Gooners never die
say what you want about them but they fund marvel rivals because of their gooning addiction 
fair
Like overwatch
also mags did you see my reply on your lore question
hulk caked up skin
Oceanic life in the mortal realms
They did one for venom I heard
Oh yeah
Is that familiar
Yee, I saw it
My mouth (not real)
yeah unfortunately the other aquatic life i've saw are like a picture less mentions
those are like the only two other sea monsters
that don't belong on the fish heads
Not real just like the fallen not getting attention how predictable
Low blow
But yeah it’s just a rumor going on that looks like bull
i'm an Ironjaw, Honor ain't shit
but also
i guess i can see it working
but it sounds utterly bull crap
It is literally her look though in canon
hey at least my chances of going solo tanking is significantly lower
So people can’t be too mad
That’s why I said marvel and not marvel rivals
Only conclusion is that the comic artists are gooners to begin with.
They always been like this lmao
Good == good
well yeah
Legit tho
Comics have some pretty weird shit
I will open tongue kiss the devs
I appreciate their freedom though
For buffing my main
That’s fair
who do you play
Peni
yep of course you main that you absolute scumbag
i mean venom and thing
Noice
so i hate penis
I’m pretty good at thing
I’m a spidey main first, I play Bucky (not really cause he’s always banned) then I play iron man and mk
Don’t hate on penis bro
he's like hulk but better
We’re innocent
but seriously i have switched to penny out of spite on certain times
Idk about mad it’s just funny
sometimes just sometimes i want to watch the world burn
But yeah, crit dmg buff, web buff, AND more mobility when shooting
I flex to magneto and Loki if needed
I can get behind and infront of that
I've really just been playing Mantis
Imma dominate
and Starlord
You know people gonna be upset though
They’re blatantly picking hot girls for gooner bait, and making their first premium outfits the skimpiest stuff they’ve ever worn
I’ve been playing Adam and Peni right about now
I mean people are allowed to
But there was a while where I was just thing and rocket
It’s a bit much for a game marketed to kids
Yeah
I don’t care but
I fuck with every character in the game lowk
EXCEPT Spider-Man
I suck at spider man
It helps the game is solid itself
they are nerfing the thing slightly but nothing special, venom will not be touched
Also I’m a little upset it seems like the devs can only design one type of female body type
Playing him is a golden standard of skill yeah
Not by them, you’re gonna get touched by me plenty tho
we're in the 21st century man, innocence of children has been long gone for the majority of their population since the internet became more accessible
I get it, I recognize the devs got the money method
Game recognizes game
dude i'm asia i won't be playing with you
man's the whole continent, based
nahhhh, dont lie
Drifty you say one thing one more time and I will hit you in the head so hard the emperor will wake up and fix the setting
all right

to the Garth Ennis room
OHHH nooooooooooooo
and play like shit because of lag?
no thank you

mhmmm
third most favorite episode in the series
and he got it too
what if nurgle doesnt look like an exalted great unclean one
and is actually a nurgling sitting on a giant throne
What are something that was once a civilian technology but converted to military tech in 40k? I heard titans are one of them.
Imperial knights were “civilian” tech
That was knights but that wasnt even agriculture
it was just to kill hostile wildlife
^
Tomato tomato
the closest is terminator armor but it was essentially reverse engineered, so its not even a 1-to-1 copy, they were just adapted from it
Yeah
Were DAOT terminators more powerful than current ones?
No
Because they didn’t exist
Terminators are based on reactor core maintenance equipment
And a bunch of other things
All mashed together
^
and again it wasnt adapted wholesale
it was literally just "oh hey this reactor armor material is cool, lets use it for our own shit"
Boooooooooo
Boooooo
Put him in his chair
Somebody call magneto we need to put a bullet in professor x’s spine again
Still cannot get over this zesty ass Charles design
thats charles?
thats terrible
hed be great if that was charles in mass effect andromeda
Yeah it's Krakoa Charles
Charles either is in his chair and mostly act as support, or can stand and is more active
He's an asshole
always was
🧑🚀 🔫🧑🚀
and mining iirc
But Charles has been walking for years now
chainsword for logging cannon for mining and both for killing shit
why does he have like a furry x3 rawr thing
It's cerebro
Colon 3
its a fucking helmet
I lost at words
LMAO
I CANT DO THIS SHIT ANYMORE MAN
yes you can

brain rot
I love his intro too
youve got a couple of weeks of positive thought left
everyone having fun and living
"NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT."
"AND I DO."
Peaktron stay slaying
Baneblades were considered light tanks
The Rhinos/Leman Russes? Agriculture. They're tractors turned into tanks.
Terminator Armor is basically various mining and reactor maintenance exosuits turned into a weapons platform
Ultron is very close to saying the M word
He’s also hot
LEMAN RUSSES WERE NOT TRACTORS
I want some melee strategist
RAAARGHH
That is not lore for the russ and baneblade
Bruh
Meme lore
🤝
isnt most of that meme lore?
Die
Ah shit really
Laati learned all their lore from femboy nation
Fuck
guys kill em
the terminator thing is correct but like we said above it was "adapted"
so like materials/functions and shit
its not the same design
Probably some weird amalgam
Yeah it was basically
"yo look at this DAOT reactor armor, lets copy its functions"
its basically how we treat tech IRL lol
its like how the tank was inspired and based in part off of tractors
Ah yes, the Admech
Was Terminator armor "invented" during long night
Or by the Imperium
Mechanicum made it
Cause I can imagine a human forgeworld being like
"Oh we're cut off from our supply chain. What do we do now?"
"Add guns to the exosuits"
seen here
"We have interloper in our farms"
"Give the farmers guns"
...so this is the DAoT level technology that the Dark Angels have...
But the vast majority of forgeworlds
Were made during the age of strife lol
Because the mechanicum was sending out ships
Isn't the reason why the age of strife happened was partially due to warp travel being fucked
How did they even
they werent out BEFORE
Ah

The same way the Skavens managed to win the space race
By serious lack of care for their peoples
Honestly tbh I was gonna suggest that
Like
The Mechanicus would totally do that
Send out some Skitarii
"Go. Spread for Holy Mars."
ship gets eaten by daemons
"...okay we'll send another one."
Mars had the foresight to gather up a lot of resources before the long night fell, i wonder how
minecraft probably
Who fucking cares if they die

That was the mindset
...you think the reason why the Mechanicus gate keeps the Noosphere is because they secretly have video games
Yes
A Tech Priest says they're doing important research
That
wasis the mindset
In reality they're playing minecraft in their mind with their buds
"GET OUT VARLET, I'M PLAYING MINECRAFT."
Lol
its the video games the pron and the shit talking they do about the imperium
Just like me but instead of murdering heretics it's listening to the same song for hours until my ears bleed

There’s a sicarian
"Don't go to the Dark Noosphere. The traitors set up shop there."
TP: "Legion bear the blessings of our Forge World"

But yeah the whole excerpt is hilarious
The sicarian gives a pep talk to his squad
They don’t give a shit so he just mutes his vocal output and turns on his music lol
"ALRIGHT. TODAY WE WILL BE DOING A TEST. THE RULES ARE: NO SECRET NOOSPHERE LOOK UPS, NO TURNING OFF VOCAL OUTPUT, NO HACKING INTO OTHER'S BRAINS.

Lol
Imagine an Imperium Inquistor somehow gets access to the noosphere
First thing they get blasted with is just
"Skidibi Ohio rizzler sigma"
"Backrooms Ohio???"
They immediately get out
Horrified

Like the Imperium culture wise is similar to like
A medieval person using futuristic technology
So they'd probably be confused even at our modern uh
"Memes"
It'd be equivalent to a Victorian child being shown 21st century humor
And that's kind of what I'd imagine somebody accessing the Noosphere without being a Mechanicus member will encounter
Y'know. If they don't get killed instantly for finding out their secret language

There is a non zero chance that a variant of low gothic on a planet
is Gen Z slang
Also you ever wonder whether the institute should've been destroyed
like
they were genuinely
interesting
Synths were a good idea
death
Seriously though I would genuinely like a retcon that the institute is more than just
beneath MiT
like MiT is just their main base, but similar to how Shady Sands was nuked
It's a huge blow but isn't the end
yk?
Like I hate the fact that they were just
wasted
They were genuinely cool
this me after seeing any opinion on the brotherhood online
that one chart has RUINED the discussion around them
Lol
I think I just witnessed a miracle of the omnissiah firsthand
how many times does this need answering I wonder
How hard is it for people to conceptualize stealing
I just watched the maintenance guy go “it’s gonna take a few days to get these card readers working again, they’re really fucked” he did nothing for like 5 minutes beyond talking on the phone with his boss, then a loud beeping was heard, and they started working
As he looked in amazement
Up there with "turn it on and off"
Holy shit
peak will be here in 2 hours

Kevin and Guy audiolog is here
fuck it I cant sleep anyway, i can stay up 2 hours
it's real ! ! !
there's no reason to sleep on the weekend
Tbf if you're already like
low in number then stealing from a geneseed bank
which would probably be guarded heavily
would kinda be hard
to say the least
As ever it depends.
And they dont always steal, they sometimes just do it the way normal Chapters do.
just more torture lol
then again, CSMs are supposed to be more strong than regular SMs in lore because Chaos juice
True. Sometimes their Geneseed is still good enough to produce more marines normally.
Anyone else think this a reference to their last stand on Nimbosa
Although usually not
Probably.
Not the first time cosmetic pages make references like that
there are more like this? that would be awesome!
I think the spider enemies here may refer to the vespids....
Yeah the store pages sometimes got em you can read on the inspect button
and uhh the darktide wiki has a ton of them compiled
Vespids are def not spider like
Like, folks guessing what its referring to?
Oh I know that there are descriptions
For like regular augmentic implants
and by regular I mean like
"The shit you give guardsmen and not the good stuff"
are they stronger than regular
No like straight up just copy pasting what it says on the store page.
like human strength
Their brethern has been eaten for so long
now
they will eat you
wait
bright orange
bright blue
...
yeah, insect would have been more accurate.
do the t'au just like
Vespid colors vary
bright colored skin lma
^
Same with tau skin color
its to excuse you to paint them any way you want
It’s between pale to dark blue
Not the Megarachnids ?
damn, you mean there's variation??? no way-
nah they must all be the same, I mean it's not like an alien species would also be vaired
Megadicknids are like wayyyy old 30k lore
they havent been mentioned in forever
Human have stripes 
and it's not like each animal has a bunch of species and race variatio-
But it's FS, they're nerds and love those sort of references
i wonder if orange vespids are the equivalent to like
"stock white man for a royalty free picture"
for them

okay but like why megarachnids
it can just be generic spider aliens

Hey
nah thats blue
If people can point at the most random thing and claim GSC
I can do this little thing 
Blue, Green and Purple are the most common colors for vespids
But in fairness, it would at least make more sense than the Vespids
Orange, black, pink and yellow are much more uncommon coloration
A water caste member tries to do some diplomacy.
"You nuked my entire hive."
"..."
there's not any real given reason evolutionarily for vespoid like
carapce coloration
I'd assume its due to environment
or diet
I mean the reason why we have different skin colors is due to geography and environment
yeah
But I don't know how bugs work evolutionarily
for like carapace coloration
especially for such bright vibrant colors
i mean weren't the vespids space traversing
Idr
it's mainly for camouflage, attracting mates, and warning signals.
So if they traveled to different planets, maybe they evolved different coloration depending where they live
Or idk maybe it's literally just for drip
Bugs are cool evolutionarily
Like there are some soft shelled bugs that have evolved the defence mechanism of looking like hard shelled beetles so other animals don't try to eat them
I fucking love how some bugs literally have like
the brightest color combos
because it's basically them telling any potential predators
"I AM POISONOUS. FUCK OFF."
and ofc, some bugs adopt the color scheme without actually being poisonous
There are also like soft shelled bugs that have evolved to have shiny metallic shells, so that predators assume they're hard and leave them alone
I love how Ants are basically just
Playing an eternal game of Warhammer 40k
Like they're literally fighting each other in a gigantic war on earth
with colonies numbering in the trillions
each life not mattering in the slightest
No individuality
I love ants and their Generations long mega wars
(a week)
This is a certified classic
No but he deadass didnt do anything
And they were looking at it yesterday and it is missing a whole entire wire to the power supply
and they said they'd need like 3 days until the part gets here
The Omnissiah blessed it
Praise be the omnissiah
The Machine Spirit worked
Seriously shit like that is why the Mechanicus is like
totally plausible to me honestly
Like I swear to god, Printers all have demons as their machine spirits
Satan's strongest soldiers

I'd turn back to order if he asked me to :
I've read rumours that people give snack offerings to server stacks in Korea or Japan because the name rhymes with good luck
makes sense to me
Johnny Bravo would make an entertaining Rogue Trader
That's just how east asia works in general.

no worse than the endless crayon marines surely
...I like the red pauldron
the what
Wait his friend is on the right though
oh
just shoving as many colours on as possible
It’s a chapter
...wow that color scheme ks
The description is regarded, he’s mixing up his lefts and rights
Which I think
Speaks for itself
I mean I like asymmetrical designs but having like 4 contrasting chapters decals there is
A choice

Does SM2 have different Mark helmets yet
Btw
in general, people love to compete amongst each other and the public in who can make the ugliest and most obnoxious character
it doesnt matter the game
if you have customization, people will make it their challenge to be ugly
like cave diving
yea
Tbf I do that for dark souls.
Just making the most horrible faces that look closer to an alien rather than an actual human being
i rest my case
Like half of my characters are like
"He is a knight from Catarina looking to link the flame". Like actually being relevant to the world.
And the other half is just... uh lemme find some old DS3 character images
The duality of roleplay
Hold on this looks pixelated as shit
I have a question. Afaik Chaos gods are solo every other factions. What we see invading material world is 0.1% of their power. Rest of it is occupied squabbling between themselves.
The question is, why do chaos being so aggressive against material world races/factions?
I mean, if everyone in the galaxy is dead, there's no one to worship, kill, betray, rot, and involuntary sex (the grape word is banned apparently) for them (the chaos gods).
No wait nvm my resolution was just garbage back then
Eh
Whatever
Reposting the pixelated picture back ig
Chaos is Chaos
You think they work off of things like
Logic and reason?
No
I mean, things they pull of do have logical reasoning.. Like how Khorne destroyed the Choral engine using Angron.
Basically it represents both the definitions of Chaos.
Both Chaos in "what the fuck is going on" and Chaos in terms of entropy. In that disorder and randomness will eventually have the energy unable to do any work. Or in this case, eventually leaving the universe dead, with nothing happening.
In a sense, their very nature wants them to destroy each other. They simultaneously work towards perpetuating themselves and going towards oblivion
Short answer is the Black Legion. There are forces that side with chaos but have aspirations outside of the warp and use the power chaos provides to that end.
Sometimes they do things out of actual logic yes
And sometimes they do shit because it's funny
Why did Nurgle kidnap Isha? He literally just wanted to
Killing her would've probably been more beneficial to him but
Eh
Basically Chaos's only goal is to sustain it's existence, just like us.
And just like us, it sometimes does stupid shit that goes against said goal
Don't ogryns already have a grenade launcher?
For example, junk food. If we were objective. It wouldn't even be made. It's unhealthy, makes you fat, and is probably a crime against God and Nature. Our lifespans have an increased chance of being shortened merely by consuming it.
But is it delicious?
Yes
Therefore we eat it
I do like junk food
The Chaos Gods are similar.
After all, they are a lot emotions made into a God
So
Yeah
So Cadia did all of their practice exercises with live ammunition
All of them ever
But they also did a kind of practice exercise where they went to fake "war" with each other in different sectors
Why do you think the Imperium can imprison so many people
So what I'm wondering is
If they die, the God Emperor willed it.

Are there casualties just in practice exercises???
Yes
En masse, I would assume
welcome to the imperial guard
They also use prisoners as live targets also
That's stupid beyond stupid
thats the imperium
Imperium moment
also they are a horde army
Yeah but even by Imperium standards
Its an excellent way to sift out those who would be a waste of a uniform
The Imperium is a death cult
Depends on the writer but yeah plenty of training missions use live ammo and living people as the opposing forces
It's within standards
Yeah and also waste perfectly good soldiers who just got unlucky or perfectly good soldiers who were doomed in the first place by being on a frontline
you can kill a million guardsmen, there will be another 800 million on the way
Their logic is simple
If you were a good soldier, then you wouldn't have been shot

Although there are plenty of small wars and hotspots to deploy guardsmen to if they want real combat experience
I mean for Space Marines recruitment
A good chunk of planets are kept miserable
Just so that they are prime recruitment material
Despite the fact that the benefits might only be minor at best since Geneseed implantation survival is literally a dice roll
Also your recruitment pool is lowered, because since it's a shit hole
There are less children
And also those children are more likely to have mutations and are therefore unviable
Their logic is probably
"If you can survive a death world, you can surely survive our training..
maybe"
thats exactly the logic behind it
Chaos is self-defeating. Its a pretty established thing, its not much beyond that, they are just cosmic nutjobs.
"they grow up in hell so they will be tough enough to survive the trials"
Sadly that isn't how military training works. All evidence available suggests that the best soldiers come from stable backgrounds, are well educated, and had a loving childhood
What Dylan said yeah
space marine training is mostly empty macho shit
you can literally be the best recruit candidate ever and just die on the surgery table

Traumatizing your soldiers before training usually causes problems
And in the end you become a sociopath that could barely be considered a shell of what you once were
Its also not really suppose to make sense and is purposefully archaic.
40k is a satire made during the Thatcher years of the UK, a time of massive economic problems and military enlistment pushes
early space marines are big ugly brutes to mock the royal marines
tbh royal marines + cops
yeah
its why rogue trader era astartes were literally crashing sci-fi punk rallies etc
Then again
It has been proven that treating your workers well actually increases productivity, but yet companies and governments refuse to do that
nope
It's sort of funny because some of the writers clearly know that, since I've seen it mentioned that space marine training effectively wiped out who the candidates were beforehand.
Never will so get used to it.

Who cares about productivity when you can milk money by cutting every corner imaginable
Which makes raising them in hostile conditions kind of moot
Yeah its basically the same way people fantasize/mythologize spartans tbh.
"they were so badass"
literally entirely wiped out
tosses babies for deformities off a cliff
has literal slave castes
lol
||No billionaire is an ethical billionaire

Romans took the time to throw left handed children into rivers or something
Tbf at least they treated women much better than their peers so
Turns out that throwing babies off cliffs made maintaining a stable population difficult
I mean
thats not a high bar lol
Kind of a low bar but sure
The Spartans let the women go outside 🙂
I also find it funny how people that talk about Sparta being masculine as shit forget that LMAO
they are an awful society that lives through the movie 300 (which itself is suppose to be in-universe propaganda) and cool one-liners.
also their name being cool i guess
Early marines are a clear riff off of Dune's whole warrior culture thing
Real Spartans weren't even that special. Most of it came from their propaganda.
Where whoever is from the shittier planet is a better fighter.
i mean in the look
Recruitment wise, otherwise they got other police aspect.s
its pretty on the nose
they where ugly deformed giants
My favorite detail in God of War 4+ is how Kratos struggles to try to treat Atreus right. But he at least doesn't do any physical violence towards him.
Because he remembers how he was trained in Sparta
So they were a riff off your mom too.
And he doesn't want to emulate that

Unforgivable

Dilara just discovered matching colors
Where is the ketchup variant
honestly wish there was more on the uglier sides of marines in modern 40k

Lamenter core
they really are more often than not psychotic brutes but we always hear about the dignified ones
Just gotta dig a little lol
Nah they're the poster boys
Gotta glaze them
Bring back colour theory in school
Are the Lamenters the wholesome chapter that Salamanders were supposed to be?
They definitely show marines being fucked up dudes plenty
It depends tbh
most marketing kinda shows them as heroic on the surface
the books show plenty of brutality
My friend says while I reached Y level -53 and still haven't found any diamonds
It helps when they're generally fighting even more fucked up things.
yeah generic evil aliens tend to help
instead of uhhh
Joe the Factorum-Slave Worker wanting to save his planet
I like the librarian in Eisenhorn
We need more war crimes
also before i forget

Huge ass hands somehow perfectly holding a tiny tea cup and ink pen
Chaplain, but yeah
He's great
Wasn't that a subplot of the first heresy novel?
The propaganda of the great crusade vs the reality of space Marines conquering a planet?
I'm pretty sure it was a librarian
Brytnoth I believe was his name
Genocide my favorite
Yeah but the Heresy falls into the pit of making the loyalists heroic a ton since the opposing side is just Evil Chaos Dudes™️
certain marine individuals or even chapters being noble and genuinely nice people just adds to the tragedy to the setting imo
also helps that 80% of Imperial compliance actions are also against evil aliens compared to human conclaves that just dont wanna join
Well. Some of the loyalists anyway
They were loy-le to their Capo Masters
I could be wrong, its been a long time.
Fair enough
Morality in 40k has also just
Gone rock bottom
Moral ambiguity in my plastic soldier dice game? Absolutely not
And tbf even Joe the Factorum worker has probably murdered people in self defense
I enjoy my settings with no political messages.
Like helldivers or fallout
"That's why favorite game is Bioshoc-"
I can't recall if they mention his chapter
It's political now I can't believe it

Bioshock is great i should replay it again
you get to kill rich people
which is already peak gameplay
Gonna sound weird but like
I like BioShock 2 better in general.
Like BioShock 1's story is much better than 2's. But 2's story is still good and also has so much better gameplay
Is a man not entitled to tell the IRS to Get FUCKED!?
Literally Andrew Ryan lmao
Both are fun, it doesnt help that Bioshock 1 is like 50 years old
world ran by andrew ryan or a world ran by house
The funniest thing is how he initally thinks Jack is either an FBI agent/KGB agent
I choose suicide
House
if i had to choose
because the Goonhouse always wins
Which I mean
Like
Its fun. Watch it.
it's pretty good
Remember in Bioshock 2 when you play a Big Daddy and still go down like a bitch and don't feel like one at all.
Fallout fans are just fucking stupid
I didn't finish BioShock Infinite.
I'm sorry I just didn't enjoy it
this scene lives in my head rent free ever since I read that book
ludoplotoroative distancing or something idk
I liked the setting but the story just kinda
What is the best choice for the Mojave and why is it Mr House?
Sucked
I mean
Ludonarrative kissmyassinance
And the gameplay kinda felt like a downgrade ngl
Infinite is an entire can of worms
Oh man. BioShock infinite

Are we allowed to talk about that here?
I should read it...
tbh what is there to talk about
"racism is bad"
I feel like just mentioning it will start a riot
yes, deep message we know
So far it’s really really good
Like if there is one main criticism I have. It's that the gameplay genuinely feels like a downgrade due to how it changed from "immersive sim" to "a shittier version of Halo"
I barely remember infinite but isn't Columbia like confederate adjacent? Just without the slavery
Nah just confederate adjacent
It 100% has slavery
I liked how Elizabeth helped out
I wouldn't know since it's been more than I care to member
That was nice
I think the most wonky part of like the behind the scenes stuff was the head developer explaining how Elizabeth is designed to be a disney princess
which i found relaly fucking creepy for some reason
LOL
I think the worst part about Infinite is the Alternative universe thing.
Like
There is zero consequences
By the way nothing you do matters
theres infinite realities
"Oh no we failed. Time to go to another universe"
why would that matter
^
That would just create another timeline though
its peak reason of why i hate multiverses
Remember the bioshock ARG
Elizabeth, stop trying to drown me I'm not racis- Grrblblb
that made big sisters creepy asf
And also Burial At Sea.
I admit it was actually cool seeing Rapture at it's prime.
But like
