lmao

he sees the light in the end

[surreal nest]

Oh my god my job interview today brought up warhammer

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

[surreal nest]

I was geeking

[crystal forum]

wait this reminds me i saw jesse's mom in another movie rexently

wtf was it again

[lament shoal]

Guys do you think pizza survived all the way to the 42nd millennium

[daring creek]

I think he began taking charge in his life when he told his boss to fuck off

Trying to remember..

[crystal forum]

no joke it was a topic during a job interview that landed me a job

[daring creek]

HUH

[surreal nest]

God please let this be me

We talked about darktide

[crystal forum]

the boss interviewing me played it as a kid

and i mentioned it because i did 3d printing

[crystal forum]

making connections is good

not too chummy though

[surreal nest]

My last job had neo nazi warhammer fans in it

[crystal forum]

you just have to stick out from the rest but not to the point where you seem too casual

[surreal nest]

[crystal forum]

lmao

[surreal nest]

Dude asked me why I painted my cadians like cadians and didnt paint them like ww2 Germany

[crystal forum]

nobody likes talking politics in the jobs i had

[crystal forum]

granted it's mostly engineers who are experts at not talking

[surreal nest]

God I wish mine refused to

They were oldheads

[crystal forum]

oh my last job they would still manage to find ways to shit on me without politics

[surreal nest]

They listened to debates out loud and would lean over to me and be like "can you believe theyre trying to make fent legal" and i was like what the fuck are you talking about go do your job dog

[surreal nest]

I relate I got bullied out of my job

[daring creek]

Why..

[lament shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/mgs-mgs-2-snake-scared-turning-gif-12085753621535732280

[daring creek]

Does anyone

Atleast not with like minded folk

[daring creek]

Huh those guys just take what they see and go about it huh.

[crystal forum]

it really hurt me since one of them seemed cool af until he started randomly nitpicking me and shitting on the way i present myself for no reason

[surreal nest]

My job wrote me up and threatened me on my last 2 days there and tried to scare me into staying by shoving me into a room with the director, manager, and supervisor

[surreal nest]

Absolutely terrible im sorry

[crystal forum]

i was taking the time to be more social with him and talk during break lunch it was really shit

[daring creek]

40k, the setting where everyone is confined to a constant hellscape none can hope to be free of even in death.

[lament shoal]

My boss at my first job was a total bitch. Nobody liked her. She'd get on my ass over every little thing and even went as far as to blame me for mistakes that I wasn't even responsible for

[crystal forum]

they were starting to do that with me because they were realizing that i really did not want to do the manual job that they hired me to plug without telling me initially

they promised me different stuff and expected me to be a data gathering monkey

[surreal nest]

I had to work almost 2 months with about 3 days off because this one supervisor kept calling off last second and when I mentioned burnout and my mental health they called me out for being a bad worker

[daring creek]

Fuck would they do? Physical assault in the work place?

[surreal nest]

No just bullying through intimidation

Forced me to sign a paper acknowledging im quitting because they denied my 2 week notice

[crystal forum]

when the boss is friends with the toxic coworkers it can be bad

[surreal nest]

Absurdly so

[crystal forum]

since they all just agree to treat you like shit

[surreal nest]

My entire old management got purged for being sex pests in the workplace

New ones yelled at single mothers

[daring creek]

What is your work field exactly

[surreal nest]

I worked at a hosptial

[crystal forum]

hospitals are bleak

[surreal nest]

Sadly my chosen career

[crystal forum]

i don't know any country with good work life balance for hospital staff

[surreal nest]

You should see EMTS in CA

[daring creek]

Yeah no 12 hours a day

[surreal nest]

There is a borderline monopoly of ambulance companies in CA and the CEO lobbied to considered EMTS not technically medical personnel

[daring creek]

I never wanna work more than 40 a week

50 tops

[crystal forum]

oh god and yeah in the US it's so much worse

[surreal nest]

So when health care got a minimum wage increase EMTs were excluded]

[crystal forum]

hospitals being bought out by private equity

and gutted

[surreal nest]

I made 23 dollars at my job EMTs make 16

[crystal forum]

and YET

[surreal nest]

Well the 12 hour shifts are typically 3 days only

So you work 36 hours a week

[crystal forum]

our doctors still emigrate to the US

because of a higher pay

completely ignoring the fact that as a beginner doctor you are overworked so hard

[surreal nest]

the medicaid cut fucked up my industry i dont know why anybody would want to be here

[daring creek]

That sounds optimal tbh

[surreal nest]

It's really really smooth

3 days on 4 days off typically

[daring creek]

Still anxious about dropping out...

[surreal nest]

I'm not a nurse tho my partner is. I was a supervisor in the kitchen/patient care department

[daring creek]

Ooh.

Yall got any tips for working retail

I'm not the best at socializing

[surreal nest]

Patience

You will be a brickwall for people to dump their unsolicited issues on and you just need to be able to pretend that you're listening

[crystal forum]

it's actually gotten to the point where the government is adding laws forcing doctors to stay in the province for a number of years after finishing their studies

[daring creek]

Ah so Dissociation

[surreal nest]

Literally yeah lol

[daring creek]

I'll master that

[crystal forum]

which imo is fair like we pay so many taxes for low cost schooling

[surreal nest]

I had a white 40 year old woman accuse me of racism against her and I just had to sit there and act sorry

(i am white and have never interacted with her before)

[surreal nest]

Good for them tbh

i dropped a waterbottle on my keyboard i did not mean to type 1/4

[crystal forum]

it's not like we're some third world country either like it's pathetic

they go to the US and work in a private hospital that treats them like shit

[surreal nest]

wild guess

Poland?

[crystal forum]

until they manage to specialize wayyy down the line

[crystal forum]

fucking canada man 😭

[surreal nest]

WHAT

[crystal forum]

yeah

[surreal nest]

thats WORSE WHY ARE THEY LEAVING

[crystal forum]

pay

and it's super easy to get a visa as a doctor

[surreal nest]

God if i could work medical in canada just to get out of here i would

[crystal forum]

it's bad here too because everybody is overworked due to an overused public system that keeps getting cuts

more cuts coming too with the new pm

[surreal nest]

god its so fucking absurd

[crystal forum]

suck my shlong carney

[crystal forum]

i was friends with a burn ward nurse in college lol

coincidentally she was also very based

[surreal nest]

burn ward is actually insane unlimited respect

[crystal forum]

yeah

the pay is good at least lol

it was like 40 an hour back in the mid 2010's

but that shit is like a warzone

[surreal nest]

DAMN is she a full RN??

[crystal forum]

yeah she's an older french woman

she was in her 40's or so

she worked in france as a nurse previously

[surreal nest]

40 aint bad thats respectable

[crystal forum]

she was getting a new degree to get a job that doesn't involve treating third degree burns

i ended up working with her a bit after we graduated at some small company

[surreal nest]

I couldn't deal with burns despite everything else I have seen

They are so gnarly I feel so bad for the victims of it

[crystal forum]

the pain too

[daring creek]

I hope the average doesn't go beyond 40 a week...even though people are still struggling doing 40 a week

[crystal forum]

constant screaming probably

the type of pain that pain meds can't fully get rid of

[surreal nest]

Oh yeah I sobbed when I burnt my finger on my airfryer I can only imagine what someone would go through

Working at a hospital for how traumatic it is really connects you more with your existence

[crystal forum]

it's canadian money so less than you think

and anyways plumbers and mechanics make more

[surreal nest]

everybody wants a mechanic too

[crystal forum]

tradie friends have many benefits

[daring creek]

I'd imagine.

[surreal nest]

me forcing my trade school welding friend to build me a custom dice tray and random doodads

[crystal forum]

i remember a friend in highschool who had it all figured out

he had great grades and everything but he would only talk about welding

he knew that he was immediately going into welding after highschool

he would talk about the art of welding for hours

[surreal nest]

we should all be so lucky

[crystal forum]

my logic for my career was purely that i didn't want to get replaced by a robot. so far it's proven true but i was also very wrong for thinking the trades are getting replaced anytime soon

literally my whole choice can be traced back to a newspaper about automation replacing people i saw when walking to my class in 2015

[daring creek]

I'm doing cis

[crystal forum]

that's when i was like yup i guess that's what im doing now

[daring creek]

I'm basically done

lmfao

With AI being so big and no one with a compsci degree is getting hired and how much AI is being priotized by big corporations

[crystal forum]

i always wanted something more physical than coding

[daring creek]

Coding is fun

But

[crystal forum]

just because i need something in my hands

i could have done trades tbh

i like using my hands

[daring creek]

I'm not sure if I want to do it as a job or academically. Because it's exhausting

I mainly have ptsd from my last professor

Hated her old ass

by old I mean in her 70s.

[crystal forum]

i dont think AI is replacing you in any meaningful way yet

maybe in the flashy jobs that barely required a degree in the first place

[daring creek]

Which are entry level jobs

[crystal forum]

nah those jobs are the silicon valley ones where you'd spend all your time doing backend work for some website

industrial sector still needs tons of data scientists

and IT is still way on the rise as a profession

getting the first job is the biggest hurdle though

[daring creek]

Which is why it has the highest unemployment rate...

I think

[crystal forum]

mostly because the current job market is completely fucked by AI and trashy jobs

[daring creek]

one of the highest*

[crystal forum]

IT?

[daring creek]

Basically, hold on

Eh I'll just send it

https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market#--:explore:outcomes-by-major

[crystal forum]

that's generic CS though

not IT specifically

and yeah CS is just oversaturated because of people drinking the tech industry kool aid

this was bound to happen eventually

[daring creek]

Either way

I'm not sure if I can do any more college

[crystal forum]

physics being so high is the more worrying part. it just shows how science is starting to stagnate

which really pisses me off

[crystal forum]

specialize, no need to do it in college

do personal projects

about very niche stuff

[paper haven]

There's just no love for the chaos factions

[opaque coyote]

I swear people misunderstand the importance of philosophy and art and that's why we have so many people being fucking stupid

Because I swear some people don't understand the basic

BASIC

Sense of trying to be aware of other people

[crystal forum]

anthropology being at nearly 10% unemployment rate should be the thing that represents the early 21'st century

just put that in the history books

[crystal forum]

this quote could go hard depending on the context

not from him though

if it's even a real quote

[daring creek]

It is

[paper haven]

There's an interesting thing happening in the sciences where it is getting hurt because scientists aren't good at politics and so the institutions that publish their work aren't very hospitable for them.

[daring creek]

Just saying thats how academia works most of the time. to prepare you for work

I just realized that was the entire point of my highschool

We had trade classes

[paper haven]

I can't think of a better argument for being more philosophical than it being necessary to function in society

[crystal forum]

my crackpot theory as somebody who is too invested in this:

first, this is a long time coming. science has been eating itself for decades now. neoliberalism kicking into full swing has really started the real downfall though.
essentially, results are placed so far above anything else that science is losing its entire purpose of poking around in the dark. the tech industry has only made this worse by taking the throne as the real frontier science pushers (it isn't)

[winged jacinth]

Bonds are always linear barring some weird weird stuff so a pair of double bonds is a good way to make a linear chain yeah

[crystal forum]

now all research money is being shoveled into a dying tech industry while politicians are kicking it and going "cmon, do something"

i've seen this first hand in the tech industry both big and large

[opaque coyote]

Scientists when they release a result that doesn't align with ideals

[paper haven]

Oh God I didn't even consider the tech sector

[crystal forum]

government grants for tech go to the wildest claims instead of proven results

[winged jacinth]

That example has an expanded phosphorus octet i think its antipyramidal?

[opaque coyote]

"WORKERS DOING BETTER WHEN YOU TREAT THEM BETTER??? INCORRECT!!"

[daring creek]

I think my biggest fear is being seen as illiterate

[paper haven]

Uhm... Source?

[paper haven]

Being illiterate isn't so bad. I can't read and I do alright.

[crystal forum]

i've worked in both big and small tech companies. they are not pushing science at all despite what leaders claim

and schools are only gutting even more their research

[daring creek]

I have a deep, despise for the regressive boomer mentality.

[winged jacinth]

Not a reliable way to make a profit sadly

[daring creek]

You're reading

[crystal forum]

the value of profit over science is what will doom us

[opaque coyote]

Isn't even a boomer mentality.

Just something that is unfortunately timeless

[paper haven]

Oh shit, really?

[crystal forum]

because you just can't treat science as an investment

[winged jacinth]

Its a trained response on dylans part

[crystal forum]

it cannot work

[opaque coyote]

Warhammer 40k fans be like

[daring creek]

I say boomer because I get a fucking lot of it from my father lol.

[winged jacinth]

If you manage to deviate from the script it will rapidly degenerate

[opaque coyote]

Does he also tell you to demand a job

[crystal forum]

it's like healtcare. it cannot be viewed as an investment yet people still do it

god i want to strangle neoliberalism. thanks reagan

[paper haven]

While boomers do exemplify this mentality, it is unfortunately not limited to them

[crystal forum]

boomers are dead

it's all gen X now

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/PidAAOdwa0M?si=2fUiN-79-yPNYw7z

[daring creek]

gen x is 60 yeah?

[paper haven]

And millennials.

[crystal forum]

nearing 70 yeah

[daring creek]

Careful posting that here

Oh

My dads 60

[crystal forum]

boomers are on their deathbed

[daring creek]

Are boomers not gen x

[crystal forum]

the problem is passed along

[plush mason]

it is and its his stated goal for the public education system he made and that is still in use today in the US

[paper haven]

Uncle ruckus, no relation

[plush mason]

so its very bit as bad as it sounds

[crystal forum]

no

[paper haven]

They are not

[crystal forum]

boomers were born post WW2

during the baby boom

yeah it has an actual meaning

[paper haven]

Baby boomers, if you will

[daring creek]

Baby boomers were born inbetween 1946 and 1964...my dad was born in 65

so basically!

[crystal forum]

it's why they heavily outnumbered younger generations

[paper haven]

You dad's Gen X

[plush mason]

it goes boomers>genX>genY aka millennials>genZ

[daring creek]

But he's so old and annoying..

[crystal forum]

baby boomers were the last generation of 5 kids per parent

gen X are your parents

[daring creek]

Makes sense why I got so many fucking uncs and aunts

[paper haven]

This is a bit hilarious because a lot of behaviors associated with Boomers are done by Gen Xers

[crystal forum]

it's also why there's suddenly problems with healthcare. it's being clogged by a shit ton of old people

[opaque coyote]

Explains why it fucking sucks

[plush mason]

yup

[opaque coyote]

Tbf kids are terrible at sitting down and listening

But how the system is built doesn't help either

In fact, that's partially why kids are terrible at sitting down and listening

[paper haven]

https://tenor.com/view/grampa-simpson-gif-19674842

[crystal forum]

gen Z are terrible too. my generation is just freely drinking the internet slop

[plush mason]

the system is built to train them to sit at an office or stand on a factory floor for 8+ hours a day

[daring creek]

Why is gen z called zoomers anyway

[opaque coyote]

Skidibi toilet

Sigma rizz Ohio!

[daring creek]

Maybe but I will never be as stupid as he and I will make a point of it too.

[crystal forum]

it scares me since gen z is just completely manipulated by the algorithms

[plush mason]

just a nick name similar to millennials

[crystal forum]

not that. the fact that right wing bullshit is shoved down your throat on every social media

[opaque coyote]

And Tiktok is being bought by the US Government

So we are

Cooked

[plush mason]

the fucking Murdocs are a possible buyer last i heard

[paper haven]

Basically because it's a play on Boomers.

You got Boomers, Gen X, Millennials/ Gen Y, and then Gen Z.
Now we've circled back to Gen Alpha

[crystal forum]

it didn't hit me until i saw a guy jokingly make new tiktok accounts to see what it's like and him literally immediately getting alt right propaganda as his first videos every time

like it's so fucked

[daring creek]

Sometimes I worry I am. but then again I always avoid using social media like insta, tiktok and the like. Sometimes I use Twitter but I heavily limit my use of it.

A lot of people my age has instagram. No one really exchanges numbers anymore huh.

[opaque coyote]

Oh boy can't wait for my 6 year old to be told that Trans People are a cabal of nihilistic terrorists looking to burn down America

[daring creek]

My main ultimate, and most addictive social media is discord

I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY YOUTUBE

DO NOT SPEAK

[crystal forum]

it's ok to realize that you aren't the norm

i'm not the norm either

[paper haven]

https://tenor.com/view/we-got-him-we-got-em-gif-21922291

[daring creek]

Youtube ain't even social in the true sense

[plush mason]

facts

[crystal forum]

im pretty sure youtube shorts have overtaken tiktok in metrics too

which is funny

[daring creek]

Have they

[crystal forum]

lemme check

[daring creek]

I sometimes watch youtube shorts, but only the same few and sometimes from specific channels I like

Everyone, please watch Andylands.

[plush mason]

just shows how shit tiktok is imo, YT is shit and tiktok is somehow worse

[daring creek]

He's an amazing animator

What else..

Oh yeah

Fire department chronicals

[crystal forum]

i think it's only in the US that youtube shorts have a little advantage

[daring creek]

That guy is hilarious.

[crystal forum]

anyways it's all garbage

[daring creek]

Beyond those two I don't know much else

[plush mason]

i love his shorts

[crystal forum]

i just wish i could permanently disable youtube shorts since those are an attention black hole

[paper haven]

There are people from the Silent Generation in congress

[plush mason]

mainly because you just know they are all true

[paper haven]

It is nuts

[daring creek]

I mean I'm phone addicted but at least I can put down my phone when I'm speaking to someone lol

[crystal forum]

wild

[daring creek]

WIth others....it can be hard sometimes.

My mother is beyond phone addicted

it's really bad.

[crystal forum]

im phone hooked if i start

especially talking to people

[opaque coyote]

I am phone addicted

[crystal forum]

adhd and shit

[opaque coyote]

That's it

I have no excuse

I need brainrot

[crystal forum]

i need interaction

i get hooked to talking to people irl too

so it's not just because phone bad

[daring creek]

I'm mainly addicted in that sometimes I'm having a really fun conversation I don't want to miss out on and want to share my thoughts

sometimes I'm just lurking..

Other times

the phone is just to make bus rides go faster.

[crystal forum]

if i talk to another adhd i can spend 5 hours like that

in fact i have done that

at work

[rose thorn]

Thank youuu

[daring creek]

Originally, I uninstalled discord from my phone so I use it less and pay more attention to the world around me...but I still wanted the social engagement.

As I distance myself from twitter further, I notice I have a few compulsory habits

[crystal forum]

i dont even understand the concept of lurking

[daring creek]

Such as clicking like, repost, etc.

[daring creek]

Convos can just be fun to read

[crystal forum]

im unable to not interact in stuff i watch

i have to fight myself to not interact sometimes

but that's another adhd symptom

[surreal nest]

no scary stories before bed time

[crystal forum]

just remember that this is the generation that saw FDR's new deal

they directly benefited from a pro wealthare state government

[surreal nest]

these mfs lived through reagan and said oh yeah lets do that again

[crystal forum]

which coincidentally gave them the biggest golden age of the US?

how weird

[crystal forum]

they voted in reagan

[daring creek]

Maybe the issue is the voter

[crystal forum]

because that's how it always ends when good things happen under capitalism. eventually somebody gets greedy and wants the good times to keep going for them no matter the consequences

[daring creek]

Maybe.

How has it only been a year?

no

How has it been less than year?

[surreal nest]

less....

[daring creek]

So much has happened.

[surreal nest]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-40k-psyker-explode-perils-gif-10586129510772702813

[daring creek]

lmao

Anyway

Randomass topic but I want to play omori..I miss the game sm

I couldn't play it cuz I had a dogshit computer

Now I have an awesome computer..

[rose thorn]

OKAY LAS

I NEED EQUILIBRIUM

AAAAAAAA

[crystal forum]

i made a powerful computer and all i play is indie games

at least i got a 4070 super before the 50 series came out

im afraid GPU's will be god awful from now on

[daring creek]

Lol I did too

[daring creek]

Whats wrong with 50?

Too expensive?

[crystal forum]

you're not getting anything near your money's worth

[daring creek]

Yeah.

[crystal forum]

and the marketing is straight up lying

[daring creek]

Especially with these games having only 8 hours of story lol

Shit I get more gameplay out of playin Dead Space and Yakuza Than I would out of most today.

[crystal forum]

plus it will only incentivize even more horrendous optimization in the future of games because the card is straight up making up most frames out of thin air

[daring creek]

yakuza 0 is 40 gigs im p sure

[crystal forum]

like your card is just doing a third of its job

[daring creek]

Better to play already released games than run for the newest thing

Like for example...Space Marine 2...That game looks so uncertain

I feel uncertain about the game

I don't think I'd get the same combat fun I do in Darktide.

[crystal forum]

in the future gaming will be just a few pixels and the rest is all interpolated

and you wont be able to run anything without an AI chip on your card

[daring creek]

Yeah

Not even sure how AI imaging works with Frames

[crystal forum]

it just makes up pixels

the image received is full of holes that the gpu doesn't have to process because the AI chip fills the gaps

and captain chipman acted like this was revolutionary during the 50 series reveal

saying that a 5070 outperforms a 4090

(because it's only processing a fraction of the workload)

[nocturne crest]

Would it make sense for something like gun belt buckles to exist in 40k, but with some extra sci-fi weaponry packed in.

[rose thorn]

wish i coudl use the ai chip thing in my computer for ram or something i literally never use it

[nocturne crest]

Ai chip?

[vital ginkgo]

Is there any space marine in the present period that can beat kharn in a 1v1? Imperium or chaos

[unique bronze]

Maybe Abaddon..?

[arctic talon]

Abbadon(almost certainly)
The other 3 major god marked champions(maybe)

Lucius, typhus and ahriman

[vital ginkgo]

Is it likely they'd beat him or they just have the highest chance?

[arctic talon]

Abbadon would beat him

The other 3 have the highest chance

I’d say Lucius if magic isn’t allowed

If Psyker bullshit is allowed then typhus and ahriman can “cheat”

[vital ginkgo]

I see

No one in the imperium?

[unique bronze]

I think Abaddon even beat demon Angron when he was establishing his claim to be warmaster of chaos

[vital ginkgo]

Dang lol that's badass didn't know that

[unique bronze]

I'd like to think Asterion would, considering how his chapter specialises in fighting other space marines, but thats just me

[arctic talon]

Moloch has a terrible record 1v1

[unique bronze]

Mephiston also comes to mind

[arctic talon]

He usually jumps people

Mephiston is a Psyker and also his books are absurd so yeah

[vital ginkgo]

Lol

[arctic talon]

Him probably lol

Cato(probably not), helbrecht(probably not)

There’s less emphasis on honor duals for marines nowadays

They don’t do that stuff as much now

[unique bronze]

Well I'd like to think its cuz he cares about results, rather than the showy duels

[arctic talon]

Well yeah

But we don’t see him actually stick it out in many duels where he actually wins

If it’s an actual 1 on 1

Anyways Kharn is very good at melee combat

I’d say Lucius probably has the best chance to kill or defeat Kharn by far

Excluding abbadon

[unique bronze]

Well I wouldn't say molloc would win yeah, considering Kharns abilities too

[arctic talon]

The main issue being Lucius doesn’t ever lock the fuck in

Unless something really gets him interested

And I’m not sure if Kharn classifies as interesting in Lucius’s brain

[unique bronze]

Didn't Kharn mention how to beat Lucios specifically as well

To just lob off his limbs so he doesnt come back

[arctic talon]

That was to prevent him from reviving

[unique bronze]

Yeah

Since thats kind of Luciu's thing kekw

[arctic talon]

Not really

It’s a curse for a reason lol

Lucius is the best duelist in the legion of being the best at doing something

The main issue being he never gives it his all because he’s a hedonistic overconfident asshole lol

When that inevitably leads to his death his subsequent revival is pretty much just slaanesh mocking him lol

Because the can never fix the error that led to him dying

The eternal isn’t a title he chose, it’s a title everyone else in the legion chose to make fun of him

[unique bronze]

I thought he always just viewed his curse as a sort of gift cuz of his ego

[arctic talon]

He doesn’t

He hates it, he would have rather died the first time it happened

But at this point he utilizes it to the best he can(when the chance presents itself) because what else can he do

But yeah slaanesh literally laughs at Lucius whenever he dies

[unique bronze]

Morbid

[arctic talon]

But lucius is eternally cursed to never be the best duelist he possibly can, he doesn’t fear death anymore as he can’t die.

So why try your best constantly there’s no reason to analyze every movement your opponent makes, because they’re beneath you. Except you died, so now you want to know what went wrong, you figure it out but it’s already over. You never get the chance to properly learn because the person who killed you is dead.

Ect.

This is the funniest shit for slaanesh though and Lucius is their favorite toy

[crystal forum]

lucius is proof that if the gods find you funny they can do whatever they want with you

[lament shoal]

If he got killed by a blank would said blank be immune to his curse?

[crystal forum]

gods can ignore any rules

[lament shoal]

Man they cheating

[crystal forum]

the direct attention of a god is literally game breaking

like they get to write the rules

[green loom]

Goading the gaze of Slaanesh for some cool wings and bio heels

[pulsar stump]

Yes.

Gods may Ignore Rules, but Blanks simply exist to spite Gods.

Jurgen could Obliterate The "Eternal" with surprising ease.

[arctic talon]

Probably not

Slaanesh would revive him regardless

You do not require a soul for Lucius to spawn from your body

[sacred ginkgo]

He also just gets back up anyway

[arctic talon]

And even then slaanesh can just revive him normally

Rather then use the curse

[sacred ginkgo]

Because slaanesh finds him funny enough to keep around

[arctic talon]

Lucius is Slaanesh’s favorite toy

The same way Typhus and Kharn have died before

But Nurgle and Khorne brought them back anyways

[sacred ginkgo]

If they set up the "perfect" plan to kill him and he died to it she would probably mock him for a bit and then send him back

[arctic talon]

Kharn and Typhus have both died before and gotten revived

Though it’s only happened once for typhus

There’s no way to kill one of the gods 4 favored marines

Not unless you become the favorite instead, obliterate their soul sufficiently somehow or the gods grow bored

[rose thorn]

anyone looked at malifaux yet?

4th ediiton i mean

[celest dome]

Or maybe use the same principle as Deamon killing maybe?

[arctic talon]

Which why I said obliterate their soul sufficiently

That uses the same process as perma killing a daemon normally

[opaque coyote]

The Chaos Gods are just

Four kids slamming figurines into each other

"Hah! I killed your guy!"

"Shut up! I can bring him back if the enemy feels good about killing him!"

"That's not fair!"

[lofty mason]

How exactly does the Imperium coordinate defense and attack of a world? Considering that you need a lot of manpower to do that, does the Imperium coordinate attack or defense with guards from other worlds?

For example, the Imperium is going to invade planet A and IoM has soldiers from planet B and C, do they just set up a central command too coordinate those troops from B and C?

Basically does the Astra Militarum operate like NATO forces—independent armies from different worlds but fall under one big central command.

[arctic talon]

Yes

They always have an overall commander assigned for warzones

[queen laurel]

And for each commander how do they compose their armies

There is like a billion guard regimens

[celest dome]

Pretty much how ever they're able to do so

Either by having to pick local (Eg: Moebian, Sabbath), being sent troops by the Administratum, or being able to federate troops (Eg: Macharius)

[queen laurel]

[unique bronze]

Think they designate a High Command right? The one that sets the overall strategy, while theater commanders coordinate between multiple regiments

[arctic talon]

yeah

[shadow plover]

A Warmaster is appointed for an overall command of a full theater of war who then has a retinue of lord generals / lord militant generals

[queen laurel]

[queen laurel]

No laati it's just unfortunately like this

I'm telling you his brainwave pattern is less consistent than The shots spread of an ork shoota

There is no point in trying to understand anything behind it it only does what it does because it can

[arctic talon]

Is swaggers affiliation still listed as Male

[celest dome]

Swagger is part of the patriarchy

(Is this new stuff ? Or part of the new campaign ?)

[arctic talon]

It’s part of the new campaign, this screenshot is from launch day though

[ivory umbra]

Sorry

[iron mural]

So what’s up with tyberos is he loyal is he traitor what’s his deal?

[hexed orchid]

Traitor

Where did you get that from?

[celest dome]

Tyberos is "loyal", but he isn't good or working in the normal Imperial system

[dapper gyro]

Oh well.

Big shark boi

Was their first appearance during the Badab War actually, or were there earlier mentions of them

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/KZBtmhQbpAg?si=3yDUUqCedaYNxsHz

[arctic talon]

Their first modern interpretation was Badab. But they existed in 2e as a random lore blurb + color scheme

GW I GET IT

The Crux Terminatus Battleforce will be coming to pre-orders soon, with individual releases for the new kits arriving shortly afterwards.

[rocky gale]

It's a Monday, which means Space Marines need 5 new units pronto

[celest dome]

Year of the Ultramarine

[rose thorn]

[sacred bluff]

You are wearing an armour that makes you into a walking tank why are you leaving your head exposed

[rocky gale]

They get everything, they get literally everything

[rose thorn]

gw really ripping off liberators

/j

[rocky gale]

It's not even a special occasion, or an event or anything. They just randomly get two new units and a boxset, when last week they got three new units

[rose thorn]

the funniest part is the ancient model was already new

[sacred bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pa1KLXuW0Y

[rose thorn]

it was just in the warhammer heroes resell pack thing

they could have saved hte new shit for 11th guys

[rocky gale]

Oh they'll get more

They always get more

[queen laurel]

new rhino

[median star]

aura farming

[rocky gale]

Rhino is hard to replace because the same kit is used by like 3/4 different factions

[queen laurel]

Marine exclusive rhino

[rose thorn]

775 points btw

[celest dome]

In fairness, who would you trust in Chaos as a doctor

[rose thorn]

this is less points than alot of age of sigmar spearhead boxes

[queen laurel]

OK but like with other chaos characters you can expect them to tolerate you because while you can expect treachery they are often smart enough to tolerate each other skaven

[rocky gale]

Drukhari get an Archon and a named character, while losing the rules for different 4 kits. Meanwhile Space Marines get 5 updated units in the space of a week.

[queen laurel]

on the one hand

[rose thorn]

what 4 kits ?

[queen laurel]

They are literally hard coded into being bastards

[rocky gale]

Beastmaster, Court of the Archon, Grotesques and Urien Rakarth

[rose thorn]

bruh

Urien Rakarth reallly?

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure

[rose thorn]

a soul for a soul i guess

they cant have more than 1 named character at a time

hey does hadn of the archeon have rules yet lmao

[queen laurel]

Also to answer this

the guy covered in diseases of course the putrid blight king

[rocky gale]

They gained rules in the new Codex

[rose thorn]

FINALLY

IT TOOK THEM LIEK 2 YEARS

[rocky gale]

Yep

[celest dome]

I think Medicine is taken very liberaly here

[rose thorn]

now gw give brood brothers rules

[queen laurel]

Hey I would trust the God of diseases to know how to get rid of bad Boo boos thank you very much

[rocky gale]

You gotta wait until 11th for that

[rose thorn]

and idk hte legionares upgrade sprue?

whats the other upgrade spues

OH THE VOTAAN ONE

I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THATS NOT ITS OWN UNIT

[rocky gale]

Votann get enough

[rose thorn]

this shit should be its own unit

[ornate ravine]

quick question, is it okay to theory crafting 40k lore here? I'm a new casual fan of 40k for a few months now.

[proven needle]

I find that a boring complaint. You get helmet options and it's just for cinematics. Imagine a photo captured in a moment with the helmet off...

[queen laurel]

i mean it's my personal complaint i'm not asking you to find it like it's the generational complaint of all time, be lucky I'm not complaining to the even more boring one of them getting this unit

[proven needle]

It's a common complaint.

[queen laurel]

yeah yeah i get it it's common it's boring but like helmetless ultramarine #505 it gets boring after a while

like it's an option if you want it but like it's just always the helmetless ultramarines are the main characters again and again

[proven needle]

Can agree with. Tyranids player myself. But these do look better so they'll sell.

[queen laurel]

they just got marnus calgar

[rose thorn]

we do a tad here talking about theories

[queen laurel]

and many more

[storm jungle]

Yeah we dont look down on that stuff lol

[queen laurel]

Last week

[rose thorn]

hey witch what do you think about space marines getting 2 new kits

right after drukhari did

[rocky gale]

5 kits

Can't forget they got 3 last week

[queen laurel]

She's just gonna post the equal attention cake meme

[rose thorn]

oh yeah

[rose thorn]

i know lol

[ornate ravine]

Thanks for letting me know, cause I think I'm on crack without realizing I took crack. A few months ago, I just got into 40k through watching Luetin's 5 biggest problems in 40k lore (recommended by the algo gods).

It made my brain go "what if"

[storm jungle]

Lmao that video definitely has some "takes"

I dont agree with a majority of it but he is a pretty famous overthinker

[rose thorn]

thank you

[ornate ravine]

true, but it got me thinking. How about we do some lore development in the politics of the Imperium?

Which lead me down a rabbit hole where I think I should make a video about my rabbit hole thinking.

[storm jungle]

You'd need to do lots of reading be warned

[rocky gale]

You've got to add the new additions

[ornate ravine]

True. But I aint got that time for it, so I just google shit. (plz don't shame me)

[queen laurel]

What do you use the lexicanum or the wiki

[rose thorn]

lexicanum has actual real information

[ornate ravine]

both, but mostly lexicanum

[rose thorn]

the wiki is like 40% lies

[queen laurel]

that's good that's good you're already on the good step my friend

[ornate ravine]

anyways, one of the theories I've crafted without spoiling the video im trying to make is, there is a reason why the Adeptus Mechanicus is the way it is. And it has to relate to an AI possibly aiding the humans during the Cybernetic Revolt that survived on Mars for a more sinister and selfish reason.

[storm jungle]

We do know some AI actually helped humanity in the revolt against the more radical robots.

and to further support your point

theres a story in Warhammer Crime where a detective is trying to solve a string of noble murders.

And then he realises it was an ||AI inhabiting the estate that was behind the whole thing using servitors ||

[ornate ravine]

nice (but not the AI)

[rose thorn]

refreshing warcom hoping for a suprised aos reveal

[ornate ravine]

I am curious, can AI be corrupted by Chaos? Cause from what I could find, Chaos can corrupt materials and code based on a quick search. Hoping to find more definitive answer.

[storm jungle]

Yeah it can, since Chaos is a paranormal force

it happens in one of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels

[ornate ravine]

Don't know if it's my sleep deprivation doing the thinking or I'm going overdrive. But my theory as to way the Martian humans worship machines and became the Adeptus Mechanicus is because of an AI. An AI that's corrupted by Chaos, but is uncontrollable by the Chaos god due to gaining a soul from the corruption processes. And now it has a new goal, to achieve godhood.

Guiding the Martian humans to safety while making them think becoming fully machine is the road to salvation.

[daring creek]

I have yet again thought about dreadnoughts today. I should think about how much they suffer more.

I wonder how much it actually hurts inside of one. Does it hurt to move a limb or two? Imagine being a guardsman with a little knowledge on dreadys. I don't know. Something about their stubby movement's and them being inside of a pain box.

Or to be more specific I'm thinking of a dawn of war trailer I think

Dawn of war has dreadnoughts yeah? What hormones do I take to become a dreadnought

[hexed orchid]

That's basically the Dark mechanicum & Vashtors whole thing

[daring creek]

I read an Excerpt on a dreadnought called uh....callax I think? Idk but he fucking lost it

Must find....I need to stop reading just bits and pieces of 40k dawg

I need it in my veins

[storm jungle]

Yes.

you are literally a disembodied torso with dozens of pipes and wires embedded into you lol

[daring creek]

Oh so the mechanicus literally dismembers you? Makes sense ig

I still want to be one

[storm jungle]

Enjoy basically being dead 90% of your life i guess

[vagrant fox]

I think the pilots usually come pre-dismembered

[storm jungle]

its in the contract

[daring creek]

Masochism is a virtue in this setting

[storm jungle]

no

[daring creek]

What sort of like

Injuries to be interreed

[queen laurel]

you are arguing on a brick wall here you may as well give up

[daring creek]

Interred*

[queen laurel]

they are not right in the mind

[daring creek]

I'm correct in the mind

[storm jungle]

Ones that fucking maul you

what else

[vagrant fox]

It's usually for severely wounded border of death space marines as it's also a life support system

[daring creek]

Me who somehow became a space marine: Oh no...I'm about to step on this mine oh noooooo

[storm jungle]

[daring creek]

Do dreadnoughts count toward the number of space marines within a chapter

[vagrant fox]

Is it Malcharion from the Night Lords trilogy who can feel the stump of his arm hit the side of his sarcophagus every time he moves his dreadnought arm

it's one of those freaks

[daring creek]

Oh my god

Fucking

Hell

[ornate ravine]

From what I could find on the lexicanum, it says it's chaos align. But my idea is the AI is not align with any faction but itself. It sees things more strategically. Knowing when to hide from powerful foes, whether forming alliance with said foe will bring benefits, and what is the higher likelihood of achieving godhood without relying on Chaos. As it view Chaos as inferior to the humans it is using. Which the AI made its worshippers think the Emperor is the Omnissiah

[daring creek]

I need to read Night Lords

Fucking epubs been collecting dust in my files for ages

Me when I need to read the books I grab:

[vagrant fox]

It's a very good trilogy, obviously they're the good guys and such

[daring creek]

I'm glad you understand

<---- doesn't know a single thing beyond the fact they flay people alive

https://youtu.be/gBgXH7eyRo4

Trailer I was thinking of

I think I'm just glad the dreadys death was swift

Phew

[storm jungle]

We dont really know if it was swift

his chassis' back exploded, he's probably inside slowly dying like a husk lol

stop being a gooner about dreadnaughts

[daring creek]

Noh

There is no gooning here

[storm jungle]

"I wanna be a dreadnaught so bad bro, im gonna step on a landmine, please chop off my limbs"

[daring creek]

[shadow plover]

audiobooks

[daring creek]

I could

Maybe.

I never really tried those. It's been a while since I ever touched one

[queen laurel]

audio books if you have the attention span of a brick

sometimes i myself can't be bothered to read and I just also listen

[daring creek]

Maybe I can read and listen

Hm

I found a playlist already

Sweet

[vagrant fox]

Audiobooks are good if you're multitasking

[rose thorn]

Man I should do an alpha legion army I didn’t realize how much I like them

I need to read the book

Hey what alpha legion book should I read

[valid needle]

The one where big poppa dorn stomps Alpharius into the curb.

Jk just start at the primarch book

[storm jungle]

Do not.

[storm jungle]

Harrowmaster.

its PEAK.

[rose thorn]

Holy shit it’s 29 dollars

Oh but it’s 11 hours long

Let me finish the audiobooks I have

[storm jungle]

Ye Harrowmaster explores the idea of Alpha Legion as a chaos faction really well.

the primarch book is just Alphagoon circlejerking until you get to the ending and hes like "Lmao maybe this entire story was a lie"

which is just ugh shut up

Its their money

they can spend it however they want tbh

[wintry scarab]

Bro, what is up with you lol

[forest orbit]

I mean shes not wrong though?

lol

[wintry scarab]

Well obviously, but fomo isnt a good thing. I should be able to critique it.

[languid meadow]

the original steel legion set has yet to come back once

[storm jungle]

More Krieg slop next week

[languid meadow]

it came out 2 years ago

[storm jungle]

📢

[forest orbit]

TF2 has been doing it for almost 3 decades, the populace doesnt care and its a losing battle, I wouldnt worry about it lol

[languid meadow]

TF2 players are not to be trusted for anything imo

[storm jungle]

[forest orbit]

My point exactly lol

preaching about "its bad" isnt really gonna change anything

[storm jungle]

I quit the moment they added the CSGO crates into the game

which was like... how long ago now?

I dont even remember

[storm jungle]

Earlier

[spring cairn]

2015

if ur talking about the weapon skin stuff

[wintry scarab]

The good ol "Just give up" argument. I dont care that people are buying into it. Its not right and ill keep complaining about it untill its gone. And its not like its just something that is never going to change. So many people think like me that not having MTX in your game has slowly become a marketing strategy.

[storm jungle]

😩

[forest orbit]

Its never gonna be gone, capitalism makes the world run unfortunately and thats the truth of the matter.

[languid meadow]

firebomb

[storm jungle]

If only

[forest orbit]

Silverhand had the right idea 😔

[spring cairn]

yeah killing people is awesome

[wintry scarab]

Youre right. I should just eat the slop.

[spring cairn]

it was mym, which added the matchmaking that was broken at launch but i was in the comp bubble so i got shielded from that

[forest orbit]

You already do buying all the shit you do in your daily life

So do I lol

[valid needle]

I love slop

[storm jungle]

Yeah I just kinda was done with TF2 at the time, the CSGO stuff was kinda my "eh may as well" point.

I hate Valve.

[storm jungle]

also how much they brainwashed entire generations lol

the trick really is to make your microtransactions/MTX "user friendly" enough and people will line up with zero complaints

[spring cairn]

i can understand, personally i couldn't care less about that shit since i'm not the target audience but it's kinda upsetting

[storm jungle]

Yeah basically.

[spring cairn]

like you'll never catch me playing a game for the mtx

or the cosmetics

at all really

[storm jungle]

Yeah Valve are artists at that shit is the thing

you never really notice until they sink their claws into you

its all "nice" and friendly as you buy your first crate/key

I hated that fucking feeling years later lol

...back when keys were 5 bucks...

[spring cairn]

i legit unboxed 1 crate in 5k hours

and that was back when the unusual glitch happpend

[storm jungle]

I unboxed I think like 5 in that span, I stockpiled crates because having pages upon pages of them looked satisfying to me (i was never gonna open them)

[opaque coyote]

Valve are experts at two things.

Making good games.

Making you throw your money at the screen.

[storm jungle]

^

[spring cairn]

sold my crates for 0.7 cents on the market

[storm jungle]

Based as fuck

[opaque coyote]

Steam discounts

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/true-true-gif-27690185

[opaque coyote]

I love steam discounts

[opaque coyote]

Real

[storm jungle]

also valve are such experts at this that they literally predicted playable "hero" characters and operators in like

2008 i think?

literally pre-CSGO

Which is crazy to me

beause these concepts were applied YEARS later to games

[spring cairn]

i'd make enough cash like that to buy the shit on the community market i do the same on cs

[languid meadow]

me when people like characters that are unique have personality

[storm jungle]

YEET

[spring cairn]

medic is mecore tho

fr fr

[languid meadow]

it only got only got "old" when every triple A tried doing it after overwatch and their characters were just cardboard

[storm jungle]

Im trying to think uhhh

[opaque coyote]

Having characters with distinct personalities and charming interactions.

Although interestingly enough, despite most of the genre focusing on morally good characters with exceptions.

The TF2 characters aren't heroic in the slightest. None of them are morally upright

I mean for fucks sake, the Mad Milk isn't milk.

[spring cairn]

hey allegedly they found stuff related to a new Team fortress project in the dota2 datamines so

haters get ready

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats classic Valve

make game thats basically done/near done

scrap it

[spring cairn]

i unironically love that

[opaque coyote]

They did this shit since Half Life 1

[spring cairn]

about them

[storm jungle]

Yeah Overwatch was kinda the pillar for that, Rivals currently took over the position

which is funny

because like

[opaque coyote]

Half Life 1 was almost done

[storm jungle]

its the exact same game

[opaque coyote]

They found it too boring

[storm jungle]

but instead of OW porn you get Rivals porn

[opaque coyote]

Completely scrapped it

[languid meadow]

Rivals has shittier balancing than overwatch which is hilarious

[storm jungle]

^

Again, exact same game

[languid meadow]

also a worse community since all the bad people from overwatch went there

thank god

[spring cairn]

just look at deadlock, they re-did ALL the art that was already done when they axed Neon Prime

shit's peak

[opaque coyote]

It's gotten to the point where MR streams switched to OW

[storm jungle]

play matches
get mad because matchmaking sucks and you constantly get steamrolled
win a match, feel good, do it more
same thing happens
♻️

its the ENTIRE reason i stopped playing OW way back

[opaque coyote]

Man

It's almost like refining your product makes a good game.

[languid meadow]

OW has better matchmaking now and the devs of Rivals are lying through their teeth about theirs

[spring cairn]

there's refining and starting from scratch after being 80% done

[valid needle]

Have it there but in such a way it isn’t pushed in someone’s face but because it isn’t and seems user friendly people will eat it up

[storm jungle]

^

[opaque coyote]

Every pvp game so far honestly

[storm jungle]

People are EXTREMELY easy to convince to buy shit

they just dont wanna admit it

which is fair, no one wants to

[storm jungle]

Lmao gimme the gossip, I wanna read this

[vagrant fox]

simply uh, don't care about fomo it's that easy bozo L forehead

[opaque coyote]

I LOVE MICROTRANSCATIONS OUUUHHHHHHH

Should've been that as the name instead

How the company has their shop be pushed usually decides how much they sell. Even me, I log into cod and get 20 ads for dlc packs and click off them all but in darktide the shop is a side thing and I’m constantly spending money in it💀

ABELARD PLAY ANIMALS BY MAROON 5

[opaque coyote]

Surprisingly enough

Having shit shoved onto you 24/7 doesn't actually make people want to buy

It just makes them annoyed

[valid needle]

Yes yes we get it you like the space wolves

[opaque coyote]

Nah I actually don't

They're fine

I like the Tsons more

[spring cairn]

i hate the space wolves so much it's unreal

[valid needle]

Based

[queen laurel]

Okay the fact that they got an entire supplement to themselves on the Warhammer wrath and Glory role-playing game is f****** funny and frustrating

[valid needle]

Their younger brothers and fellow sons of Magnus, The Blood Ravens are quite cool too.

[spring cairn]

they deserve nothing

i want those furries nuked

Ok so rivals devs say they don't have EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) they say that every update video BUT it's very fucking clear that something is going on. QP matches are either stomps or getting stomped it's even worse in ranked. Either they have EOMM or their matchmaking is SO bad that it makes it seem like there is.

but every update they come out and say "WE FIXED IT !!!!" "THERE IS NO EOMM"

[queen laurel]

Also apparently there are bots

[languid meadow]

there is yeah

[queen laurel]

On quick play

Why the f***

[languid meadow]

if you get stomped too many times you could be placed into a bot match

[queen laurel]

Another point I don't like about it is the optimization for an multiplayer game it has very shit optimization

[wintry scarab]

Im somone that will buy any MTX slop as long as its a fair trade. Most MTX these days feel like a fight between you and the devs, but then you have some rare gems like warframe, DRG, Space marine 2, Helldivers where it feels like a fair transaction. No weird strategies are being used to rip out as much money from you, no random unfair fomo, no random bullshit currency exchange stuff. And then you have something like good ol halo infinite where they added cross core helmets and raised all bundle prices because of the "Added value". God. There is no other game dev that i despise more than 343.

[storm jungle]

Yeah no I can buy that 100% lol, they definitely are very shady in the way they address some stuff so you can absolutely tell they are talking out of their ass half the time.

[spring cairn]

if there's bots in ur mp game i'm not playing it

period

[queen laurel]

The only time I'm allowing bots to the game is on a dedicated bot game mode

[spring cairn]

and i mean outside of like queuing for a match against bots on purpose

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's good for like you want to try out this hero

Or something

[spring cairn]

or having a bot replace a leaver until replacement is found

[queen laurel]

Having bots on actual matches

For quick play

Is

Not good

Yeah those are the only acceptable times I would have bots

[languid meadow]

I really like playing marvels sometimes but fuck dude I just can't atm

it's so bad rn

[wintry scarab]

That fucking trend of hiding bots in your multiplayer PVP game is like a instant uninstall for me.

[queen laurel]

I was there at the honeymoon phase and until season 3 I just can't f****** do this
