Modern vexillologist designs are equivalent to bean mouth animation

reviewing Doom the Dark Ages arts and concepts

#

pretty cool stuff for the Night Sentinels and Argenta as a whole

polar hill
#

This might be a hot take but I kinda hate the artstyle of the modern Doom games

#

It just feels oddly arbitrary, if that makes a lick of sense

storm jungle
winter vessel
#

It is a significant detract from its initial start of the Series. But I’m glad ID Software is expanding to other styles. And I greatly enjoy the blend of Sci Fi and Medieval themes.

storm jungle
#

time to add these to my 40k folders

winter vessel
#

Dark Ages has actually gotten me back into writing a story I started on back in my senior year. I’ll add notes here and there for inspiration or reference but haven’t gotten back into adding into the draft

Do the minis look like these for that Infinity tabletop?

sly ivy
#

Ya those are Panoceania

arctic talon
#

Yeah

sly ivy
#

It’s a great game btw. Lore is a bit sucky — was never really able to get into it. But it plays great.

#

I mean really great.

arctic talon
#

Warning that infinity is all metal and resin

#

if you care abuot that

sly ivy
#

Like maybe the best tabletop ruleset

arctic talon
#

its a very good game though

#

tbh

#

Yeah

#

its extremely good

sly ivy
#

(but I still play 40K mostly haha)

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

40k is like

#

the most popular wargame lol

sly ivy
#

Yeah I can always find a game

#

Plus the lore is way better.

40K skirmish with Infinity rules would be divine.

arctic talon
#

mfw of the 3 most popular wargames 2 of the 3 are owned by GW

winter vessel
#

Is Infinity fairly recent?

sly ivy
#

Wait wat is 3

arctic talon
arctic talon
sly ivy
#

Oh no shit

arctic talon

2005

#

iirc

sly ivy
#

Infinity is… it’s hard to describe playing it.

#

It’s like making an action movie

#

On the table

arctic talon
#

top 3 wargames are

40k
Battletech
AoS

#

lol

winter vessel
#

Looking on the website, these are some pretty cool factions. Definitely saving this as a reference

arctic talon
#

mfw flames of war and bolt action

#

are the half rotting corpses

#

shambling forward

sly ivy
#

F to bolt action that game looked good

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

its not dead tbf

#

regarding bolt action

#

its just uh

#

its just shambling along

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

Flames of war is doing better

#

but its skirmish scale

#

also bolt of action is lowkey expensive as shit

#

for how ugly/rough to put together the minis are

sly ivy
#

Yeah they don’t look very good do they

arctic talon
#

I mean the vehicles are nice

#

but I've seen worse infantry lol

#

especially for historicals

sly ivy
#

40K 10th honestly feels as good as any game I’ve played including Infinity, just in a different way.

#

I should give kill team another shake it’s just like… the games I’ve played have taken so long relative to the number of minis and what actually happened.

arctic talon
#

40k 10th is

#

very tightly designed

#

tbh

#

as much as I shit on it

#

I cannot say it is not designed very tightly

sly ivy
#

40K and Infinity so far best play experiences.

arctic talon
#

have you seen

#

the new like

sly ivy
#

And Warcry but like that’s a different kind of game. Way simpler.

arctic talon
#

weird near future skirmish game

#

its meant to be a very fast skirmish game

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

like 30-45 minutes

arctic talon
#

but this game is apparently made by former military personel

#

which could mean a lot of things

sly ivy
#

No I haven’t

arctic talon
#

LOL

sly ivy
#

Hmm

arctic talon
#

BLKOUT is a fast-paced tactical tabletop wargame. Command finely crafted 32mm scale miniatures on the battlefield and clinch victory in under 30 minutes. Each game is a test of cunning and tactical prowess. Immerse in a futuristic combat experience that's quick to play, quick to learn, hard to master!

sly ivy
#

….. ok this looks more appealing than I thought

#

But I just can’t sink a bunch of cash into something that’s prob short lived

arctic talon
#

yeah def lol

plush mason
#

i cant wait to see what kinda dialog and dynamic the new abitrator comp will bring

tough haven
#

"Fuck you pig!"

#

Guarentee this is gonna be like half of it

plush mason
#

i wonder how he will feel about the death cult

tough haven
#

Oh also "I WISH I COULD KILL YOU BUT THE ROGUE TRADER IS ABOVE THE LAW!"

plush mason
#

in fact i wonder how the arbities feel about death cults in general

arctic talon
#

Probably wouldn’t care

#

They’re legal

plush mason
#

true but surely they would want to keep an eye on them right?

#

in case they start like idk threatening the tithe shipments or something

crystal forum
#

that takes a lot

polar hill
#

Tl;dr, when gangs start killing each other, that's not the Arbites' concern. As soon as a stray bullet or a missed rock throw hits a lex-abiding citizen on their way to work, they put their foot down

#

So the Arbites wouldn't have cared when the Cult was just going after the other gangers and Water Cartel

storm jungle
#

petty crime is beneath them

#

the livelihood of citizens is also inconsequential

plush mason
#

or they kill a bunch of workers making things due to be collected

#

but yeah outside of stuff like that they would just ignore the cult

storm jungle
#

Also let me post some examples of what takes their notice regarding some high value criminals they go after for capture orders

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Its all about the Tithe.

#

Arbites will literall board Rogue Trader vessels if think something is up

languid meadow
storm jungle
plush mason
plush mason
#

it even have a council of 13 lol

tough haven
storm jungle
#

The best part is this can be do to any reason you can think of

#

for example me and my friend's rogue trader got hunted across 3 systems due to accidentally killing a administratum magistrate.

#

Literally just some nobody manager, but since he died, the production quota came to a halt, which created issues

#

(also caused a ship crash)

tough haven
#

Don’t they deal with corruption as well?

storm jungle

They’re more for surgical operations yes?

storm jungle
#

Some precints are equipped to fight entire wars.

polar hill
tough haven
#

And by surgical I mean “cut out the affected area”

storm jungle
#

What you are talking about is an Exaction Squad

#

whos job is to usually be a spec ops team that captures people for subjugation and "trial"

plush mason
#

sometimes the arbites fortress is the only thing standing when reinforcements arrive to an invaded world

storm jungle
#

^

#

Let me get the excerpt

tough haven
#

Oh right I remember that excerpt

#

I’ve honestly always found arbites boring

storm jungle
tough haven
#

Just another “oh yeah they are really brutal and efficient”

storm jungle
#

You should read more about them

#

Soulshackle does a great job

#

their job is singular but very diverse in action

tough haven
#

Like tbh I find the more micro of enforcers to be more interesting

storm jungle
#

Well yeah enforcers arent brainwashed nazi-cops lol

tough haven
#

Maybe I’ll have to include arbites in my campaign

languid meadow
#

hardworkers they are

#

love hitting homeless people

storm jungle
#

see acorn incident

tough haven
#

Though tbh they’d more than likely just shoot the party on sight (they include xenos) and they don’t give a shit about if said xenos have a rogue trader’s emblem on them

storm jungle
#

Yeah you'd need a good reason

tough haven
#

The interrogator in the party might be more problematic

storm jungle
#

for example me and my friend barely made it out because a famulous spoke on our behalf

tough haven
#

Also in the nihilus the tithe is a moot point anyways

storm jungle
#

and made it clear the magistrate was killed in a crossfire

#

not directly by us lol

#

(we still had our legs broken by powermauls)

tough haven
tough haven
#

You get it free with any interaction with the arbites

#

You were guilty of something or other at some point to deserve it

storm jungle
#

thus wasting the exaction squad's time

#

fucking hypocrites

tough haven
storm jungle
#

a lot of things

tough haven
#

Yeah honestly I don’t know how they’d work in the nihilus

#

Actually wait, why would arbites care about aroma, the tithe is still going yes?

#

Unless the cult actively is trying to remove the arbites ig

storm jungle
#

its explained in their cinematic when the update drops

tough haven
#

It’s not out yet Is it?

storm jungle
#

Nope.

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Yeah they wont KEKW_ogryn

#

If you’re a governor and your planets tithe stops due to an uprising they’re gonna go for you next

storm jungle
tough haven
#

You’re guilty of failing to stop it

#

I think margrave is going to meet a shotgun slug to the skull, express delivery

polar hill
#

He might, he might not

#

It depends on which Margraves are most culpable for the corruption

Some Barquettes may be on the chopping block, too

Man I should rewatch Dredd, good movie

#

Wasn’t there a judge dredd game about fighting zombies and vampires in the city? Seems like it’s come full circle with Darktide.
Do Arbites have psykers like the Judge’s do?

polar hill
#

Not within the Adepta itself

#

When the Arbites require a Psyker's assistance, they look to the Scholastica Psykana

snow fern
#

I imagine a diviner would be pretty useful to the Arbites.
Wonder what kind of dialogue the Arbites personalities will have with the Savant Psyker

polar hill
#

Also the Judges don't really have psykers either. Anderson was an exception

#

IIRC at least

snow fern

#

Have, not use, edited

snow fern
#

I wouldn’t expect the Arbites to use an Unsanctioned Psyker, it just seems like a psyker is a useful tool for them to have, but the Imperium being the Imperium, pragmatism is always on the back burner

polar hill
#

Something to understand is that, while there are more Psykers now that the Great Rift has been opened, they're still rare, and sanctioned Psykers are rarer still. It's why the Arbites have detectives and investigators

#

A Psyker who won't blow up into a daemon portal is nice to have, but they're a luxury, not necessarily the pragmatic approach

Do company and corporations exist in the Imperium? I’m talking about companies like Apple, Disney, or Ford.

celest dome
#

There are Guilds, so kinda

celest dome
#

But most of it has been taken over by Imperium

storm jungle
astral burrow
#

Massive

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

And on some level controlled by the state/Imperium

#

Patterns are an example of sorts.

With the planet it comes from being what the pattern is named after

#

Usually a forge world, which could be considered a company.

#

Necromunda is another example of there being guilds which also count.

#

So congratulations, there are (in lore) thousands of variations of the simple lasgun

#

With quality, design, and make differing a lot

#

Now you might be wondering "Wouldn't this be a logistical hellhole to catalogue all of the different patterns and methods?"

#

Yes.

#

Basically the only thing that you can be sure of is that if it works without fucking exploding in your hands.

It's good enough

#

Also mean that technically some pattern exists of a California Complaint Bullpup Bolter

Yea, the more radical minded ones can actually be more effective. Especially if they are only radical in doctrine and not actually corrupted by Chaos

rewatching this, its actually a pretty good parody of the eric andre show

opaque coyote
#

So I have always wanted to make a zombie story for no reason

#

Basically whether humanity beats the zombie plague or not doesn't matter as it's somewhat localized in a state.

#

Basically just a group desperately trying to escape the quarantine

#

But I wonder if the traditional vanilla Zombie Plague would be enough to have the military "lose" enough to have to quarantine a state in the USA.

#

By traditional I mean

Not airborne, it's spread through fluids and scratches and all that junk

dapper gyro
#

It would be very difficult if it is not an extremely fast outbreak.

opaque coyote
#

And by the time it's noticed, two weeks have already passed

#

And well, a lot of people drink out of the tap

dapper gyro
#

It could do with that.

opaque coyote
#

I always liked localized zombies more

#

If that makes sense

#

Like Resident Evil

#

Raccoon City is still a favorite of mine

dapper gyro
#

In RE, they decided to nuke the city within a day of the outbreak is always illogical for me.

#

But whatever

opaque coyote
# dapper gyro It could do with that.

I also thought about the plague basically having people be asymptomatic for a while.

Until they suddenly meet a non-infected person, then they just suddenly go bananas

#

Like you feel fine

#

You're just doing your normal thing

#

Then you meet somebody

#

You black out

#

Wake up

#

And you've bitten somebody in the neck

#

Like all the infected act like regular people until they see an uninfected person

#

Then they just suddenly turn animalistic

opaque coyote
#

Since it started with the virus supply accidentally being poured in the water supply

#

Also I think it's partially as a coverup

#

Because well the US military bought a lot of shit from Umbrella

#

The nuke gets rid of the zombies, bioweapons, and any evidence that the government was involved

#

It's also why Mr. X and Nemesis are sent after you

#

They're primarily there to prevent anybody who survived from getting out.

#

If the zombies didn't get you. Then the 8 foot tall bulletproof man with a trenchcoat will.

#

That's also why Mr. X specifically went after somebody in a jail cell that was imprisoned for attempting to leak info

dapper gyro
#

There was little military presence during the outbreak, as if they weren't there at all in preparation for a big boom from the start.

opaque coyote
#

Although I forgot whether the protag's like Leon are actually immune to the virus itself or if it's just a CoD type of situation

opaque coyote
#

Just fast enough to not muster up a military response but slow enough to have the government decide "Nuke"

dapper gyro
#

Someone like Leon and Claire are from outside of the city, yet they didn't know what happened.

opaque coyote
#

The police did actually try though, both in the original and remake.

#

Which is more than I can say for a lot of USA cops

dapper gyro
#

Jill was working at RCPD, and she was surprised by the outbreak.

opaque coyote
#

Unfortunately due to the Resident Evil zombies being uh

#

Fucking tough as shit

dapper gyro
#

Hence my comment of the lack of military presence if the outbreak already started for a while.

opaque coyote
#

And then, if we go with the remake, Nemesis just kinda uhhh

#

Fucking came out of nowhere

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
#

Soldiers can report that the government was making deals with Umbrella to create bioweapons

#

A nuke wipes it away

dapper gyro
#

Even though zombies in RE are tough, it showed that the military can still wipe them out.

languid meadow
#

well the nuke was dropped for 2 reasons, one to keep certain things secret and two the outbreak was genuinely out of control and made even worse when Umbrella dropped BOWs on the town

opaque coyote
#

By hunting down survivors

#

But judging by the fact that in RE4, umbrella got fucking dismantled

#

Safe to say that didn't work

#

But tbf do you expect a company that creates shit like the Lickers to be sane?

copper patrol
#

umbrella's whole schtick is being cartoonishly evil tbf

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

#

Umbrella is just insane in general and honestly?

I can't help but fucking love it

#

Like the concept itself is hilarious

dapper gyro
#

Most of the bosses never see a 12.7mm MG firing at them.

opaque coyote
#

Like the equivalent to Umbrella is like if

Walgreens made zombies and bioweapons

#

For the military

#

And they have a secret underground laboratory

#

Like Umbrella is just doing it for the love of the game

languid meadow
#

the only BOWs that was deployed to actively hunt people down were the Tyrants and Nemesis, there were more BOWs deployed which umbrella used to get combat data

opaque coyote
#

And honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that they work their employees like garbage.

languid meadow
#

but judging by RE9s trailer that nuke did jack all

opaque coyote
#

It sounds fucking fun to work there

#

Like

#

Creating Mr. X

#

Sounds fun

#

You have to admit that

opaque coyote
#

But it's unknown if there is for the remake

languid meadow
#

Yeah he's a Tyrant

dapper gyro
#

Tyrant is a classification

opaque coyote
#

I think that considering HUNK encountered one that's fully intact in his mode. I would say

#

Probably

dapper gyro
#

I think there were only 2 in the original timeline.

opaque coyote
#

Although I like to think that it's the same one that hunted both Claire and Leon.

When he got sliced by Sherry's dad, it's what caused him to mutate.

languid meadow
opaque coyote
#

With the potential mixups that could happen

#

Like for example, there should be the choice to choose between the shotgun and grenade launcher for both Claire and Leon.

If one side takes say... The shotgun, the other doesn't have it.

nocturne crest
#

Huh.

languid meadow
#

I do find it funny that a lot of the games make it seem that the US gov and Umbrella are not on good terms and it's prob the same with the remake

opaque coyote
#

Tbf imagine having a good deal with a company

#

Only for them to accidentally start a zo.bie outnreak

#

And their way of fixing it?

#

Dropping more bioweapons

languid meadow
#

no I mean like even beforehand

#

the US was spying on umbrella from the start since they didn't trust them one bit

#

no deals going bad

#

just "hey those guys are shady asf"

opaque coyote
#

It is funny to imagine like a US Government negotiator trying desperately to just

Comprehend their mindset

#

"Why would you even- what?"

languid meadow
#

they were spying on umbrella and were weary of them but just didn't do anything about them until it got out of hand with raccoon city

So odd question, but could anyone see GW letting Zen Studios make a 40k digital pinball game?

copper patrol

tough haven
#

If theres a sequel to that game thats higher quality than the first, I'd buy it

#

Also probably with more cyberware options

winter vessel
#

i'd like more addition to cosmetic cybernetics, not just my face but properly modify the full body in the base game

#

make my skin shiny

polar ridge
#

I’d rather they put all their focus on Orion than add more to 2077

tough haven
#

No I mean like creating another cyberpunk game

shadow plover
#

My only hope for a possible sequel is that they make the gameplay more enjoyable 😔

opaque coyote
#

Like the action is fun don't get me wrong

#

But I feel like the biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077 is that most of the ways you solve problems is through murder

#

and tbf that is fun.

#

But I'd like the option to NOT murder.

shadow plover
#

that too! although the action really isn't that enjoyable when the gameplay is so clunky and stiff

opaque coyote
#

The balancing

#

The game suffers from what I would like to call Fallout 4 syndrome at the hardest difficulty

#

"Great, this guy is taking 1000 shots to kill!"

#

I get that most of the inhabitants literally have metal in their body

#

But I don't think even with a chromed out skeleton, that the regular fucking Ganger should be able to take 100 bullets

shadow plover
#

I feel the closest comparison to the gameplay feel of Cyberpunk is Necromunda Hired Gun, which really isn't a high praise

#

though it's chaff enemies don't have the bullet sponginess problem iirc

winter vessel
# opaque coyote But I'd like the option to NOT murder.

i would like them to draw more on the specific career skills for each role you would play on a Cyberpunk RED run. beyond just the additional dialogue options you have for "StreetKid", "Nomad" and "Corpo" for 2077. have the player learn the limitations and advantages you can build on. Sometimes you can't come out on top of a fight, you got to run or avoid them

#

but that brings me to the topic of removing the ability to change between roles/skillsets during a playthrough. Where, once you choose a role at the start, that's it.

opaque coyote
#

a separate minigame thing with it's own complicated "world"

#

It would be cool to become more netrunner focused?

#

IDK how the fuck that would work. I just think it'd be cool

#

Y'know how Oblivion allowed you to create your own spells

#

How about that but for Hacks

#

You're not just being fed to the Blackwall, you're also gonna have your dick evaporated before hand

#

Like V will never be a netrunner, they're more just "Look I got a program that sends you to hell"

winter vessel
#

it would be a lot to unpack and keep track of. Every class has the ability to fight, just some would do well for others. it'd be cool for like a Techie they allow them to have their own personal escort of drones and combat androids that you can create and customize. the more you advance the more blueprints you can get. and they'd be the ones to tinker with the internals of a gun whereas a Solo is limited to attachments

opaque coyote
#

IDK

#

Either way I do think that generally limitations are actually necessary

#

In some regard

#

It's cooler to specialize

#

Than just

#

Being a jack of all trades

#

Although tbf that's also fun as well

#

Like I think they tried somewhat in 2077 but it isn't really enough?

#

It feels a bit messy

winter vessel
#

exactly. some roles in the RPG carry one or two skills that they share, but i'd rather they not get the full package.

opaque coyote
#

Although tbh CD Projekt Red is carried by their writers and lore to a degree.

opaque coyote
#

Netrunning could be implemented to a degree. Maybe with Cyberspace being accessible via chair and being a hub with some activities.

#

Cyberpsychosis would mostly be aesthetic though.

#

Again, if they had like a Fallout Speech System, Cyberpsychosis could be interesting. But with how 2077 works right now, it'd be hard.

winter vessel
#

I'd think Netrunners and Solo would have more vulnerability to that drawback considering one is diving into the abyss of the net where artificial horrors dwell and the latter having to keep modifying themselves just to get the edge that they lose any self-awareness

#

some kinda "damage over time"? thing

opaque coyote
#

basically they're mercs

#

although Netrunner technically is also?

#

But it requires some specialization.

opaque coyote
#

Basically by chroming up, it's easier for fight for sure.

#

But now you're scarier by looking like a Chaos Tech Priest rather than a proper human shaped individual

#

High-functioning Cyberpsychos are a thing. So I imagine that if a protagonist has to have cyberpsychosis, it'd be high functioning to keep some type of agency.

winter vessel
#

Solo: "I have become the Shawarma Grill Machine" incinerates target

opaque coyote
#

They might not be into somebody who's one step away from snapping and murdering entire groups of people.

winter vessel
#

hmmmm they have the option to write in a character who digs that kinda crazy

#

but true

opaque coyote
#

To simulate this somewhat, there would be a chance where if you're combat or even start it. Everybody just becomes a shadow. Absolutely unidentifiable even with information.

#

So you could accidentally kill some poor civilian thinking they're an enemy.

median star
opaque coyote
#

Since everybody is also marked hostile.

winter vessel
#

i had the idea of digitized silhouettes

opaque coyote
winter vessel
#

like, before you really get over the edge, you can still distinguish based on color (red or blue smth), but once your past the point of no return theres just one color

opaque coyote
#

But generally, because it's a video game, you have to do the random massacres yourself

#

Sorry

#

Still though, things like obsfucating who's an enemy and who's just a regular civilian would help with that

#

somewhat

winter vessel
#

a shame CDPR didn't have "Lawman" as one of the starting backgrounds. like, i feel that role could substitute "Street Kid"

opaque coyote
#

I thought of Immunoblockers actually helping with the social aspect though

winter vessel
opaque coyote
#

True.

#

Also Immunoblockers implies that cyberpsychosis is a biological reaction.

#

Like it's the body reacting badly to the chrome inside of you.

#

Which is why you're going crazy.

winter vessel
#

it'd be cool if there were varying categories for vendors to provide you the suppressants

#

say if it was a back alley doctor

#

the duration wouldn't last long because the quality is cheap

opaque coyote
winter vessel
#

yeah

#

kinda like, amplifies the effect of psychosis

#

rn im thinking of the three tier system

opaque coyote
#

I also thought of cyberpsychosis doing shit like making the health bar giltch so you don't know how "damaged" you are.

Which simulates how cyberpsychos literally just fight until they're either knocked out or die.

#

But it'd also buff you in combat.

winter vessel
#

damage stat booster maybe?

#

draw back is your health is dropping quick even without being attacked

#

there are multiple possibilities to explore, but sadly can't fit everything in one game.

opaque coyote
#

TTRPG being put into a video game moment

#

Probably why a lot of 40k games suck tbh

#

...

#

well ignoring the fact that GW loves putting microtranscations into them for no reason

#

well one reason

#

(MONNEYY!!!)

#

I wish for the alt. universe where 40k Fire Warrior was actually good.

Btw despite the book actually being fun, the game itself fucking sucks.

#

Feels outdated even when it released it's actually awful.

#

It is cool for a second for the novelty of actually playing as a non-human but still.

winter vessel
#

if anything, come next title "Orion", they really improve and expand the gameplay. I'd like to talk my way out of it instead of pulling out my iron and blade. and instead of just street cred you can build a reputation with a particular faction. but the cost of siding with one is, while it'll boost your SC faster, it will look unfavorably for other gangs/corps. before eventually, its KOS for you.

#

can't imagine my disappointment when they were showing off the gangs for 2077 and i was a fool thinking i could align with one

opaque coyote
#

The ability to actually talk out of situations

#

Fallout NV is fun partially because you can talk your way out

#

and if you want to, just solve everything but shooting the place up

#

options!
