arctic talon
so what space marine chapter is the biggest combi weapon fan
Dark Angels and their successors
deathwatch(not a chapter)
surreal nest
i didnt think i would actually get an answer
arctic talon
but combi weapons are popular among marine veterans in general
because you get a pocket (x gun)
surreal nest
i thought for sure salamanders would be all over that
arctic talon
though sometimes its only good for one shot
Sallies usually go for a full melta/flamer
but vets do use combi meltas/flamers pretty often
surreal nest
Oh yeah duh
arctic talon
its just a case of squad organization
vagrant fox
salamanders more like lamamanders
arctic talon
only a sgt gets a combi(outside of veterans)
surreal nest
are combi weapons like really expensive to make or something?
arctic talon
generally
Combi weapons are extremely finnicky and expensive
and also some are only good for one shot
before needing ot basicially be
dissasembled and rebuilt
lol
arctic talon
but combi weapons vary wildly
lament shoal
and also some are only good for one shot
Astartes bolt musket

based on pattern, the person making it, ect

limpid granite
Space marine 2 combi melta
arctic talon
but you don't always get a good combi weapon
sometimes you get one made by Enginseer beneificus
Who just got promoted
and this is his first super cool combi melta
(it has an internal ammo source and you need to dissasemble the gun to fucking reload it)
also its only good for 3 shots max
but like a lot of combi weapons have super limited ammo supply for the secondary weapon
dapper gyro
They need to add under barrel bolter, so I can have bolter on my bolter.
arctic talon
Well
those exist
they're called combi bolters
but storm bolters are better in lore
dapper gyro
But storm bolter is like terminator weapon only.
Combi bolter usually referred to bolter + something else.
Storm bolter is twin linked, which I find dumb as hell.
arctic talon
Storm bolters can be used by normal marines
usually only by SGTs or veterans tho
combi bolters are their own thing
Usually you refer to it as a Combi (the gun attached to it)
so Combi melta is bolter + melta
this is tabletop terminlogy though
here's an example of a combi bolter

@arctic talon so
I noticed a detail
On the NCPD database

BL3 was peak. The animations, music and gameplay were outstanding. But then the shit parts were REAL doodoo faeces.

REAL.

I tried 3 but the characters were so annoyed I just uninstalled it
I had a pretty good time reading about the world though

ENTIRELY fair reaction
also yeah the world of borderlands is great
its like Cyberpunk 2077 crossed with Necromunda

I still cant get over how good 3s reload animations are. Literally some of the best ive ever seen. There are like 100+ of them as well. All insanely creative and good. (Besides like the 7 super bugged ones lol )

But its easy to follow and and imo keeps you engaged for most of it. There isnt really a part where youre like, i dont care at all about this story. Youre always somewhat engaged. At least i was. And i liked it. Still do. Especially when compared to 3 and god forbid the new tales of the borderlands.

new tales doesnt get a pass because a literal sotry game but like 3 can have a bad story as logn as you can just mute the dialog

Its more that they went out of business because "Why would i buy game when i can watch person on youtube play game for me." Thats what me and like 99% of people did. And now they gone 🙁

its that but it was largely indeed due to the fact that they did not stop making so many games.
it stretched them to the limit, especially when there was so much slop

It got very formulaic and stale was the problem for me. I enjoyed the first TWD and Wolf but the rest felt very meh
wintry scarab
You can say that to literally any game.
Well, no. Those games are literally just a movie. Other games you actually want to play. The only reason to buy a telltale game is to see other options or chose yourself. But if you just want the story, there is no reason to buy them.
Up until like a few years ago, i had no clue that the walking dead was a show. I just thought it was the telltale game lol. That shit made me cry as a kid

Eh I dont follow the logic its like saying you can just read a book synopsis instead of reading it cover to cover

Yeah, obviously. But most people just watched the youtuber play it and never supported the dev in any other way. Unlike other games, where you watch the youtuber man play and then you want to play yourself.
surreal nest
Yeah I get you, I'm still more leaning on the side of them making too many terrible side projects but it could have absolutely been a factor
I know some indie films have problems from youtubers just "recapping" their films instead of having people directly support them

Dark Picture releases every 2-3 years.
Not always Until Dawn quality, sometimes quite bad, but they don't hire 300 people to make all mediocre.

The difference is Invincible is made by a guy who loves superheroes while criticizing the status quo marvel/DC setup at the time.
The Boys is made by a sexist homophobic racist scumbag garth ennis whos just an edgelord that cannot write normal human beings and puts awful content in every comic he makes.

Also, my theory about this face stuff is that this is what people get taught in college or uni or whatever. It just screams of that corpo vibe where someone goes to education for an art that cant really be taught and then applies the things theyve learnt into a artform and it just feels off.

Rocky 1 was about a no-name bruiser with zero chances of ever making it big taking a once in a lifetime chance to test himself against the best fighter in the world.
storm jungle
the best part about it is that he also loses in the end
legit was not expecting that when i was watching it

It was never about winning. Just to see if he could do it.
storm jungle
Yep.
Creed says it best in the sequel too on his side
"I won but I didn't beat him."
dapper gyro
Rocky 6 is very nice imo. Not a great, but the acting and the setting feel so mundane and real.
storm jungle
I kinda like the saga of the character, from the great heights to him just being brought to the lowest and just kinda going on with his life and training the next generation with Creed's son etc
dapper gyro
Stallone has range, but the older he gets, the more monotone he becomes.
storm jungle
but i also agree WAY too many movies
paper haven
Rocky and Rambo were such subversious of what you'd expect
dapper gyro
Rambo went down after 1st blood, and never go up again.
Rocky 6 then Creed made good comeback.
paper haven
Rocky lost the fight, Rambo was mostly just a terrified and traumatized vet who couldn't find a place in society
And then Rambo 2 sent him to Afghanistan to be an action hero
dapper gyro
Rambo 2 is Vietnam.
paper haven
I think Rambo 5 had him facing off against the cartel?
Oh right, he had to save some POWs
Rambo 3 was Afghanistan

you can watch the training stuff behind the scenes

Phantom Menace, if it isn't a starwars movie to back it up, it wouldn't go anywhere.
But as a starting point mainly for Anakin, it is alright.
paper haven
Phantom Menace 100 percent relied on the first trilogy to coast along.
Arguably the entire second trilogy coasted off the first
I did like Attack of the Clones though, yes I know basically nothing happens in the movie
wintry scarab
at first i assumed he just treated these things with SW as just a job
Its always cool to see actors actually take the time to invest themselves into a franchise theyre playing in. Or in his case, i think he grew up with it lol
dapper gyro
Nothing happened mostly because we know what would happen.
vagrant fox
I really appreciate Hayden Christensen throwing his whole shit into acting Anakin for the prequels at least

Attack of the clone is more of universe exposition, which is cool as fuck.

The three Word Bearers looked blankly at the corrupted magos.
‘Potential reversal of implanted host species’ gene-corruption: nil,’ concluded Darioq-Grendh’al.
‘Gene-corruption,’ murmured Marduk.
‘The machine babbles nonsense,’ growled Khalaxis.
‘Speak more clearly, Darioq-Drak’shal,’ said Marduk, ‘perhaps in words that we might understand.’
‘It is believed that the genestealers infiltrate potential prey-worlds for the tyranid xenos species to feed upon,’ intoned the magos. ‘They infect the populace, and some believe that the collective control they exert over those bearing their genetic coding acts as a psychic beacon, drawing the organic Hive Fleets to those worlds where the beacon burns strongest.’
‘And you say this… implant attack that Rhamel has suffered is altering his genetic coding?’ asked Marduk.
‘That is correct, master.’
‘The bodies of the warriors of Lorgar are sacred temples, for in them we bear the mark of Lorgar. From his genome were we created,’ said Marduk, ‘and such a… corruption is an abomination.’
The First Acolyte looked at Rhamel, who grimaced as another wave of pain shot through him.
‘You understand what must be done, Brother Rhamel,’ said Marduk. It was a statement, not a question.
‘I understand, my lord,’ said Rhamel through gritted teeth, and the warrior dropped to his knees before the First Acolyte.
‘What if the machine is wrong?’ asked Khalaxis. ‘Could not the chirurgeons on the Infidus Diabolus reverse this corruption?’
‘The machine is not wrong, brother,’ said Rhamel. ‘I can feel it working within me, changing me. Let me pass with honour, my brother.’

There should be an optional historically accurate mode if you decide to play Germany.
You constantly run out of oil
You need to spend resources to do the "final solution"
You need to attack Russia and Britain as early as possible within their approximate invasion/attack dates
paper haven
I'm pretty sure that does happen. The fuel shortage thing not the final solution thing. As far as I know, you have complete control of the actions of the government except for that.
