Wow coward

arctic talon

40k has a lot of narcotics

lmao

#

I wonder what happens if you give a normal human Drukhari combat drugs

storm jungle
#

I literally only keep pronouns in my name because sometimes people get upset over it, its the perfect bait KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon

#

more in a friendly spirit kinda way though

arctic talon
#

probably?

#

I'd assume its the dose that matters lol

#

though I feel splintermind would be incredibly unpleasant lol

#

for you know splintering your mind into multiple different ones

queen laurel
urban spire
#

who knows though, maybe humans can scarf down eldar combat drugs by the bowl like they're eating cereal and feel nothing

arctic talon
#

lol

#

incompatible biology

#

whats a drug to the eldar is like water to a human

urban spire
#

humans are also just really omnivorous, we eat lots of things that make other animals freak out or die

#

not to be too hfy

#

it's true of great apes in general

outer wave
#

I wonder if the Imperium ever uses hallucinogens to induce visions for religious purposes

urban spire
#

i don't think it's mainstream religious practice but there's almost certainly cults who do that

outer wave
#

Would be cool to see subcults do that

urban spire
#

death cults definitely dabble in drugs for various purposes

outer wave
#

Death cults are the ones that are egregiously fanatical or is there something more to the name? I think I've only read up on them once and it was a while ago

arctic talon
#

it happens in Rogue Trader

#

death Cults are the fanatical ones that like murder and blood

#

but its okay

#

because its sanctioned

urban spire
#

death cults worship the emperor through the medium of death in one way or another, the empire tolerates this to a point as long as they don't kill the wrong people

queen laurel
outer wave
#

Huh, ngl that just sounds like the typical eccliarchial shit

arctic talon
#

yeah but they really like it

#

like more death culty then the normal ecclsiarchy stuff

urban spire
#

the ecclesiarchy does a lot of different things, death cults are laser focused on their one field

outer wave
#

Ahhh gotcha

#

It's only about death and blood for them than incense and scrolls

urban spire
#

death cultists like to rock up in skin tight body suits and covered in knives, they're not much for the inspirational preaching

Sorry ain’t gonna happen 🦅

Cuz cigarettes are supposed to be calming

storm jungle
#

Nah they are narcotics

#

I was telling to the j guy that hes wrong lmao

#

A mild narcotic, each stick contains dried and cured plant leaves that release a scented, stimulating smoke when ignited and inhaled through a cheap tube that burns away with the drug. As the leaves vary with the planet, Lho-Sticks can vary from world to world as well, often making them useful trade items."

#

from Dark Heresy

merry flower
#

so a cigarette - ok got it

humble shoal
outer wave
#

Yeah, Lho are just cigarettes

#

Stimulant and a bit of a narcotic from what it sounds

storm jungle
#

yeeee

outer wave
#

Or the other way around

#

A bit of a stimulant and a narcotic

storm jungle
#

it literally tells you what it does

merry flower
#

next he's gonna tell me a lumen is something other than a lamp...
or a plastek is something different than plastic...
and they just make up words for their stuff to make it sound different, for difference sake

A narcotic is just something that alters your mood, so both stimulants and depressants are narcotics

You better not waste it

The thing is you are t killing them because they killed cows

sly ivy

that’s basic morality

queen laurel

And i thought i was heartless

humble shoal

But because they poached all of the cows

crisp heath
#

But it's a doggo

urban spire

destabilizing an ecosystem because it's funny is vile enough to earn someone a bullet i reckon

you wouldn’t kill a dog to save a person

#

And what experiences happen to them

yeah a lot of the stuff about certain breeds behaving certain ways is down to the owners buying into it

storm jungle

But that’s also not their fault

humble shoal
crisp heath
queen laurel
#

Okay the dog is now gone what is the person going to do with their life

#

Because that dog is family to them

crisp heath
#

But that's why it's upto the owner to correct them properly

queen laurel
#

Did i save them or did i just prolong their suffering

storm jungle
sly ivy

#

dogs can be bred to be aggressive, but anyone who's seen a dachshund knows aggression doesn't have much to do with the dog being good or not

Just facts

queen laurel

I'm willing to save them both if i have to

Oh 100% that's why not everyone should have dogs

queen laurel

Because that's the right thing not the easy thing

storm jungle
#

Mmhmh, lumbago

sly ivy
#

It’s if there has to be a choice

urban spire

ok but some hypotheticals are pretty pointless

queen laurel

Obviously if you have the choice to save a person and a dog at great cost that is not a life it’s a good thing

there's a new guinea bird that's covered in neurotoxin

#

pitohui

Man it's alot more chill here

#

Everyone's PISSED about the decal change on the arbite

urban spire
#

just a little guy

#

i think it's the only poisonous bird

arctic talon
#

That’s cool

#

Is the neurotoxin dangerous for humans

urban spire

makes your fingers numb, that's about it

Because I saw it and it looks fine?

Widely scattered

crisp heath
sly ivy
#

They sequester and concentrate it from food

#

Unclear to what extent their cell physiology is actually specialized for it. Not enough comparative work.

crisp heath
#

Someone said that everyone had American mindset buying food eating it then wanting a refund that was good

sly ivy
#

But it seems to work for them. I wouldn’t be surprised if all birds were somewhat resistant to batrachotoxins. They are very alien animals.

crisp heath
#

Birds don't feel spice

sly ivy
#

And there are lots of low-read genomes right now but the reference genome, the chicken, is really shitty.

arctic talon
#

Capcasin isn’t poison tbf

crisp heath
#

Yeah it's just interesting

arctic talon
#

As in the jungle fowl

sly ivy
#

Constant pain in the ass for bird molecular biology

arctic talon
#

Not the domesticated one

sly ivy
#

No they’re great

#

The assembly is just old and badly annotated

#

The reference sequence that everyone uses.

crisp heath
#

I like chickens there cool and they taste good

sly ivy
#

Bird genomes are tiny. They pooped out a bunch of excess dna

#

Happens in pterosaurs too. Something about flight. Might literally relate to lighter tissues. Cell size scales with nucleus size which scales with genome size.

crisp heath
#

Reckon a pterosaur would be good eatin

sly ivy
#

we know indirectly with pterosaurs bc we know their cell sizes from empty cavities in bones

#

Yes but not a lot of meat

#

It would just be breast and wing they don’t have the big juicy thighs

#

Chickens are great models for birds. They’re pretty similar to the ancestral bird.

crisp heath
#

Is it true chickens are related to the t-rex

#

Or is that false

arctic talon
#

As much as humans are related to a fish

crisp heath
#

Ah

arctic talon
#

Very distant

sly ivy
#

Way more closely

crisp heath
#

Oh

outer wave
#

Yeah, reptiles are closely (relatively) related to birds

sly ivy
#

Birds are reptiles.

crisp heath
#

I hear alot of people saying dinosaurs had feathers lately

sly ivy
#

And they are dinosaurs.

#

All dinosaurs had feathers. So did pterosaurs.

#

Possibly some lost them but I think not.

#

Even the giant ones probably had little bits sticking out like elephant hair.

crisp heath
#

If you look at the cassiuary and the behavior in birds it does make sense

arctic talon
#

People just like

#

Don’t prefer them aesthetically ig lol

sly ivy
#

The killing kick is ancestral. All primitive birds do it. There’s a fossil of a literal velociraptor in combat with another dinosaur and the raptor is doing it to the other one’s neck.

languid meadow
#

Again when it comes to prehistoric Dinosaurs when most people talk about them being related to birds they are talking about theropods

crisp heath
#

I think giant birds are way more scary tbh

queen laurel

#

In the same pose chickens use when they fight.

#

Thomas Henry Huxley and OC Marsh saw the bird relationship in like 1865 tho

languid meadow

sly ivy
#

Sauropods are the sister taxon of theropods

queen laurel
#

It's almost always going to look like a featherless reptilian monster nowadays

sly ivy
#

The common ancestor looked like a small theropod.

#

All dinosaurs are stem birds in modern evolutionary parlance.

#

Triceratops, sauropods, stegosaurus

#

So are pterosaurs hilariously

#

So that one branch of the reptile tree produced two of the three flying vertebrate clades.

languid meadow
#

bring back flying reptiles

#

the real ones

sly ivy
#

I wonder whether they got flat outcompeted by avialans or what

languid meadow
#

They still semi exist

sly ivy
#

I bet they did.

languid meadow
#

I mean their Genus is called Draco which is cool

sly ivy
#

Draco respectable lizards

#

And there are the gliding snakes

#

That steer by slithering through the air

sly ivy
languid meadow
#

I do like how recently Troodon went from being real to not being real, back to being real

sly ivy
#

I hate dinosaur taxonomy arguments lmao those guys are always yapping about stupid shit

#

Phylogeny more interesting depending on

#

what it is

crisp heath
#

There was a dinosaur that apparently early humans may have been around that was incredibly dangerous I'm trying to remeber the name

sly ivy
#

A bird? Titanis?

crisp heath
#

It would follow them home at night

#

I think you may be right

sly ivy
#

That’s one of the giant terror birds

#

Prob encountered people. Got into future southern us

crisp heath
#

Ohh no it's not that

languid meadow
#

Humans have been around giant birds for millennium we just killed some of them faster than others/they got out competed by other animals then we killed them

crisp heath
#

It was a very big bird tho

sly ivy
#

There’s also a very early stem human skull, the Taung Child, who has possible eagle talon holes in its head

languid meadow
#

Moas are cool I wish they were still around

Me too

Kiwi have to be very old

Also the rifleman

Little unobtrusive bird but it’s sister to all other songbirds

#

very silly thing and I love how you have to live in fear your favourite dinosaur can just be obliterated

crisp heath
#

I feel like tui are quite old too

#

There kinda a parrot I think

#

They bully the other birds slower than them and get drunk off certain trees

sly ivy
#

Inside of where riflemen branch off but still old.

crisp heath
#

I get to hear them in the morning and everynown and then we get moreporks

#

Tiny little owls very cool birds there sound is literally more-pork

Like a whistle that sounds like that

Back on my Halo binge and I just gotta bring up that I love every ship design in this series

#

Halcyon-Class light cruiser my beloved

normal light

Reminds me of Killzone ones

#

Used by non-helghast faction (i forgot their name)

rocky gale
winter vessel
#

but Frigates were more of my alley. Paris

languid meadow
#

Yeah I just about to say I love the Paris class

#

I love how blocky UNSC designs are compared to the Covie designs

#

also the Banished designs

winter vessel
#

and seeing the Dawn making her landing the first time on 3.

#

chills. literal chills

languid meadow
#

I need an official space RTS set in Halo

winter vessel
#

interesting enough. The Long Night of Solace is, so far, the only in-game appearance of the Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier. One of the largest known vessels during the Covenant's time. dare i say bigger then the Kerel-pattern assault carrier

#

But all this is academic we all kno there is only one best ship

Banished Dreadnaughts being very Brutish is so cool

I think Infinite's campaign was great besides the endless stuff, all the new Banished stuff we got is so cool

#

also them bringing back T'vaoans

winter vessel
#

it was cool seeing them again

terse blaze
#

I asked general but this seems more fit
what's the year in DT?
between 000 and 005M42 I guess but no idea

winter vessel
#

and sadly, newer content related to lore is only being given in brief updates in excerpts. Hell, WE LOST the academy and don't get a special type of mission event to defend it

#

Least Jun and Rosenda are okay

languid meadow
#

I have yet to year any voiceline mentioning the lion are we sure it exists

also, in the intro Brahms says "it is the 41st millenia" wich is... a lie?

languid meadow

tbf

#

GW does that

"Darktide happens in a Warp-time fuckery" - Fatshark

even tho they themselves know it's 42M

they just don't like to change the catchphrase from 41st to 42nd

Time and dating is weird and annoying due to the warp

If* it start from the 41'000, it is still the 41st.

shadow plover

it's the start of 42'000 actually

terse blaze
arctic talon
#

its like 5-10 years after

#

since its the very start

arctic talon
#

technically

#

Just 999.M41

dapper gyro
#

Cadia went boom in 999.

arctic talon
#

a lot of things happen in 999.M41

#

hell even gman wakes up

terse blaze
#

didn't they say something about Roboute being alive again?

dapper gyro
#

So still one more year.

arctic talon
#

so it is around 3-5 years into M42

terse blaze
arctic talon
#

The Lion is still sleeping

#

in Darktide chrnologically

shadow plover
#

has there really been a lion mention in the game?

celest dome
#

The Rejects have mentioned his return

arctic talon
#

as in him being back?

#

what

shadow plover
#

that's pretty fucked up

dapper gyro
#

Also, it is the start of Brams going to Atoma, not when the reject actually gets recruited.

languid meadow
#

wouldn't matter anyway since I don't think son of the forest doesn't have any dates?

arctic talon
#

"that one of the Primarchs returned, the brother of Guilliman himself!"

languid meadow
#

I can't find shit

arctic talon
#

No

#

Sons of the forest is like

#

15 years into M42 lol

#

give or take

#

we know because of arks of omen

languid meadow
#

I HATE YOU BLACK LIBRARY

dapper gyro
#

Remember, Wolfer gets captured before the game starts.

arctic talon
#

also "that one of the Primarchs returned, the brother of Guilliman himself!"

could mean the fucking traitor primarchs

#

lol

#

its so vague it could mean literally anyone

#

it could be morty for all we fuckin know

winter vessel
#

angy

celest dome
#

To note that those voice lines appeared like a couple of month after the Lion's book appeared

arctic talon
#

morty, Lorgar and magnus are the 3 big active ones

arctic talon
#

lol

arctic talon
#

well

#

unlikely they'll ever be brought out of the box

#

but yes

winter vessel
#

bit of a stretch that one

arctic talon
#

I'd say that

shadow plover
#

I did always think DT does take place well into Indomitus for they've already got Primaris statues all over the place

terse blaze
arctic talon
#

and as far as we know the lost primarchs were male

#

bcs Malcador still brings up his stupid sisters idea to "temper" the primarch

terse blaze
#

and for 20 years and lots of books, custodes were bois too, but

arctic talon
#

not that long

#

lmao

terse blaze
#

It's GW lore and they'll fuck it up as they want

arctic talon
#

Custodes

#

have not existed in their current form

#

for over 10 years

celest dome
#

Custodes never had lore outright saying that they couldn't be/have female in their ranks

arctic talon
#

Custodes didn't exist until the very end of 7e

#

At least not in their current form

languid meadow
#

they just

#

existed

arctic talon
#

I'm not sure where people get the 20 years thing for custodes from

#

lol

#

They've not existed properly until late 7e

terse blaze
arctic talon
#

That

terse blaze
#

but got the codex at 2018

arctic talon
#

is not the current iteration

celest dome
#

From the oiled Custodes probably

arctic talon
#

I do not count them as a real faction

#

that old lore was also not canon

#

starting 2e lol

#

2e retcon'd everything in Rogue Trader

celest dome
#

At that time they were still human iirc

arctic talon
#

and yeah

#

they were normal humans back then

#

just like marines

languid meadow
#

also but ass naked

arctic talon
#

Well

languid meadow
#

bring that back

arctic talon
#

not that naked

#

they had underwear

#

And a cape

#

and helmet

celest dome
#

Auramite having a different meaning

arctic talon
#

if we want to go by the earliest lore

#

necrons are actually chaos androids

#

and the imperium, eldar and squats actually get along

#

Gw chucked it all into the fire for 2e in any case lol

terse blaze
#

"there have always been chaos androids"

arctic talon
#

and then 3e is what is properly identifable as modern 40k

normal light
arctic talon
#

they're just not related to necrons now

normal light
arctic talon
#

When back in 2e and 1e they were the same thing

arctic talon
#

mentioned in the 9e CSM codex, 9e daemons codex and the bile books

terse blaze
#

in the end, 40k is just "fantasy in space" joke that gave way more money than GW actually anticipated

normal light
languid meadow
#

Genefather also mentions them

arctic talon
#

yeah

normal light
#

Whaaaaaa.....

arctic talon
#

They're like

#

not releveant at all

normal light
#

I need to take a look at it

arctic talon
#

but they exist lol

#

They genuinely have negative quantity of lore

normal light
arctic talon
#

mhm

#

but I think my point is custodes didn't exist in their modern form

celest dome
#

Didn't the TSons get some Chaos Androids ?

arctic talon
#

till 2016

celest dome
#

Like this year

arctic talon
#

not the chaos androids faction

celest dome
#

Different in what way

arctic talon
#

Chaos Andorids are xenos robots

winter vessel
#

I do like the Sagittarum guard squad custodes despite little info on em. think they're the only ones i've seen that doesn't have the banana helmet

normal light
arctic talon
#

also they look like necrons

#

lol

#

like explictly

normal light
#

Ah

arctic talon
#

Less skeleton more bulky

basicially they look like the old ass mini

arctic talon

but in black metal

custodes are almost 8 years old regarding their first actual modern depiction
