who the fuck gives a shit about Shitonian Tunnel Twats

literally a bumfuck nobody regiment made up for 8th

[vagrant fox]

[celest dome]

Every regiment has some fans

[queen laurel]

[celest dome]

As rare as they can be

[queen laurel]

Yeah like moebians

[celest dome]

Miasman Redcowls and Indigan for me

[vagrant fox]

Change lexicanum back or I'm gonna go berserk I swear on me mum

[queen laurel]

I'm a fan of Catachan, tunnel rats and vitrian dragoons

[storm jungle]

Bell of Lost Souls called for it to update it for future decades/years apparently

literally nobody liked the change but they put their foot down, its staying

[celest dome]

Is it for mobile formating ?

Only reason I could see it

[storm jungle]

Yep bingo lol

we are trying to get some features to change but god its so abysmally dogshit

every image is fucking crunched and the texts are all over the place

it messed with a ton of things

[rose thorn]

Holy shit how do the doom angels have so much lore

[vagrant fox]

ban them or something

[tough haven]

Ai is officially Techno-Heresy!

[hallow saddle]

Tech bros in despair

[rose thorn]

remember that rich guy who said ai should be allowed ot vote

[rocky gale]

Bro's got like the one job which can't be replaced by AI, he's gotta lock it down.

[storm jungle]

Well

as far as we know anyway

Robo-pope....

Robo-pope can't get sturdy like this

[celest willow]

@valid needle dont they pillage worlds on the daily loyal or not?

[storm jungle]

No thats a specific Crusade

[rose thorn]

hey is there any other space marine alliances akiin to the shield chapters of ultramar or teh adeptus vaelarii

[rocky gale]

There's the Maelstrom Warders and Astartes Praeses

[rose thorn]

oh yeahhh

thank you

[valid needle]

Marines malevolent yes

And that world was done by an overzealous crusade that’s most likely going to be purged like that last extremist crusade.

But MM do it for fun daily, it’s suspected they are traitor geneseed but officially they are unknown.

[valid needle]

Because they are emperors children

[valid needle]

There’s the last wall protocol

That was enacted and every son of dorn chapter rallied together and fought under the VII banner as imperial fists again to defeat the beast.

[rose thorn]

...?

[valid needle]

Doom eagles descend from loyalist emperors children

[rose thorn]

no/

no?

[valid needle]

Yes

[rose thorn]

they are ultra marines

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Doom_Eagles

[valid needle]

Almost every loyalist element of traitor legions were merged into loyalist legions and took on their name but doom eagles lineage can be traced to a group of emperors children loyalists.

[rose thorn]

their first chatpter master was tulian aquila

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tulian_Aquila

who was an ultra marine

are you thinking of the sons of the pheonix or something?

[valid needle]

Nvm it was the Death eagles

[rose thorn]

ohhhhh

[valid needle]

Too many eagles

[rose thorn]

lmao its all good

[storm jungle]

God

look at what they've done to lexicanum

my baby

[rose thorn]

oh yeah teh death eagles black shields is different from the death eagles chapter

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Death_Eagles

unles the original colorscheme is canon

which is superior to the new one

[valid needle]

Yeah that highly questions the legitimacy of being raven guards

[rose thorn]

i nede to read the books with doom eagles to see if i liek them

[storm jungle]

I dont get this obsession with any evil Chapter being "traitor geneseed"

loyalist marines can and will be absolutely evil when they want to

[valid needle]

I know

I’m just saying the common census is they are traitor stock

[storm jungle]

[valid needle]

Based Templars

Based Angels

[rose thorn]

every day i hate genesed more nad more lol

also

wouldnt htey end up being raven guard

when they get new geneseed

so it doesnt matter nayway

[valid needle]

Like I said the other day Dilara, people always want their faction or choice to be the good guys so anyone who shows hard evidence against their beliefs they reject.

People need to become imperium enjoyers instead of romanticised imperium enjoyers

[storm jungle]

Its a good plot element depending on how you use it

[rose thorn]

if i ever find the space wolevs box for cheap i might end up buying it and makignt hem all emperors spears

[storm jungle]

when its one thats pure and without mutation you can also just entirely ignore it

[valid needle]

Blood Ravens one is used well i believe

[lament shoal]

Is it true that the blood ravens were created for dawn of war?

[valid needle]

Yes

[lament shoal]

Thx

[rose thorn]

besides mutations and apperance why would gene seed even matter

[spare osprey]

Oh hell yeah

[valid needle]

But now the leading theory is they are a second founding of thousand sons

[spare osprey]

Corswain in the house

[rose thorn]

o h i guess psyker sutff

[valid needle]

Traits and characteristics are passed from primarch to geneseed

And geneseed to marine

[valid needle]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-handshake-handshake-meme-meme-gif-6733294716339523020

[left talon]

Would be funny if it was just a bunch of random shit put together and that’s why they steal from everyone

No reason other than they want stuff they have to be as random as them

[valid needle]

I’m with the thousand sons theory

I’ve heard the name of a specific cabal that remained loyalist but I can’t remember the name

[spare osprey]

I need to learn how the rubric works before i say they’re tsons

[vagrant fox]

Corvidae thingy wasn't it

I'm a little sick of this chapter is totally descendant from traitor geneseed but that's purely because every single homebrew, mildly exaggerated, uses the idea

[spare osprey]

But it feels the most likely

[rose thorn]

true af

[valid needle]

Imperium needs to use more Dark Angel geneseed

[storm jungle]

Its largely for political clout

and some superhero abilities/quirks

[valid needle]

Is he going to be traitor is he going to be loyalist

Let’s flip a coin

[rocky gale]

Na they got enough nerds

[storm jungle]

Also this ^

traitor geneseed is just lame ass nonsense

its basically an emo trope

[rose thorn]

imagininga space marine doing a superman jump and it mkaes me wanna puk

e

[storm jungle]

thats basically the primarchs so

[valid needle]

“Were the good guys from a super evil line and our dad is super evil and powerful but we’re good and honourable”

[arctic talon]

Geneseed doesn’t do shit

[rose thorn]

and i hate primarchs lmao

[arctic talon]

In like

99% of instances

[storm jungle]

Yeah that as well

[arctic talon]

It only directly effects you if it’s BA or SW stuff because of the other issues

[storm jungle]

it only matters if you are from a mutated line

ye exactly

[valid needle]

Or IF

[storm jungle]

you can literally just do an Ultramarine successor and make them batshit nutjobs that just do the job.

[arctic talon]

no sussy membrane?

Yeah

[storm jungle]

IF is like

doesnt even matter im gonna be blunt lol

[valid needle]

Dorns darkness

[storm jungle]

"oh they cant spit acid"

"and they get depressed"

or whatever

its not a really big thing

compared to you know

turning into a fucking werewolf

or a fucking blood ogre

[arctic talon]

Yeah the blood angels and SW have actual uh

Big mutations

[storm jungle]

Yeah IFs is like

"hey we are here too"

[arctic talon]

The fucking vampire ogre shit

Is so weird

[valid needle]

Considering it’s a mutation, why don’t the space wolves kill their marines who turn into mutant wolves?

[arctic talon]

The IF and RG issues

Are just mental ones

For better or for worse

[arctic talon]

They try to

[celest dome]

IF that has some Chaos Dwarf like thing with the stone transformation could be cool

[arctic talon]

It’s just that if it happens mid deployment

[storm jungle]

Money.

[arctic talon]

Make the best use of it

[storm jungle]

I MEAN

[celest dome]

Golem like

[storm jungle]

UH

What wolf said

yeah

[valid needle]

Because didn’t Sanguinius murder one of his sons for showing his red thirst

[arctic talon]

That’s eldar

Eldar turn into crystals

[storm jungle]

Look

just dont think about it

[arctic talon]

Sanguinus was trying to hide it as much as possible

Nowadays uh

[lament shoal]

Mmmmm blood

[arctic talon]

go my bloodthirster aspirants tear that civilian apart

[storm jungle]

Its hilarious because also like, you got an entire legion of Successors with the whole thing of "OH NO WE CANNOT LET THEM FIND OUT ABOUT OUR RED THIRST" when in reality a few Successors would fuck this up in few millennia and it would be known

[arctic talon]

The thirst is seen as both a blessing and curse now lol

[storm jungle]

meanwhile the Wulfen get find out and Dark Angels wanna hiroshima Fenris

(which is based btw)

[arctic talon]

By the BA

The thirst is literally nothing

Tbh

Aside from the horrific mutations

But those aren’t apparent at a glance

[storm jungle]

i use both curses in the same

because like idgaf

its just vampire fuckery

anyway yeah its dumb

[arctic talon]

Nah the black rage doesn’t make you turn into a vampire ogre

lol

Only the thirst does

For uh reasons

[valid needle]

DA dogging (pardon the pun) on them little wolfy wolves

[storm jungle]

Yeah instead it makes you a berserk psycho

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

“HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING THIS SHIT YOU DUMBASSES”

-Azreal 2024

[storm jungle]

They turn into like uh

mini-Hulk but red

hold on lexi had an image

[arctic talon]

No they like literally turn into an ape thing

[crisp heath]

Always been a fantastic art piece.

[valid needle]

DA always get the good art

[storm jungle]

there it is

very sexy monsters

[arctic talon]

If the thirst goes on long enough

[vagrant fox]

Weird ape bat thing

[arctic talon]

I’d fuck it

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

I mean what

[rocky gale]

Holy shit, it's a Qunari

[celest dome]

Does look like a Gorger tbf

[storm jungle]

I love how they say it looks horrific

whil eit looks like some monstefucker novel character

[arctic talon]

It’s not that horrific

lol

[lament shoal]

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

[storm jungle]

yeah lmao

[celest dome]

Same

[storm jungle]

ive seen worse

[arctic talon]

it’s more fucked up in universe

With the descriptions from devastation of Baal

[valid needle]

Bruh

[arctic talon]

But that could just be a whole they vary in terms of appearance

lol

[storm jungle]

Broaden your horizons

[crisp heath]

Indeed

[arctic talon]

Anyways your dad matters less then your culture for marines

[storm jungle]

^

[valid needle]

I will not broaden my horizons to a blood thirsty ogre

[arctic talon]

Because we’ve had some weird ass successors

Like

The Mortifactors literally skin people alive

And wear their bones and skin

[storm jungle]

It looks handsome as hell tbh

[vagrant fox]

Mortifactors my beloved

[valid needle]

So based

[arctic talon]

The executioners

also skin people alive

[storm jungle]

it literally could pass of ass that one guy in Dragon Age

[arctic talon]

And like torturing civilians

[valid needle]

Hot

[storm jungle]

what was his name

[arctic talon]

But yknow

[storm jungle]

Ironbull?

[valid needle]

[arctic talon]

It’s whatever

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-bull-dragon-age-dragon-age-inquisition-bioware-rpg-gif-21002218

[arctic talon]

I’m sure dorn would be proud

[storm jungle]

There he is lol

favorite romance option

[arctic talon]

Of his sons wearing flayed skin

Lmao

[lament shoal]

Can someone give me lore about the minotaurs being assholes

[valid needle]

He got them grips on his head

[arctic talon]

All of Badab

And Orpheus

[lament shoal]

Did they side with the traitors?

[storm jungle]

Now you are geting it

[arctic talon]

2 UM sucessor chapters are having an argument on their honor

The Minotaurs swoop in

Kill almost everyone

Steal their shit

[left talon]

Any other strange ones from other Legions

[arctic talon]

And call it resolved

lol

In Badab they were there to restore order

[left talon]

Reasonable bet the blood ravens do that aswell

[arctic talon]

(Read kill civilians and space marines)

[valid needle]

Ultra successor’s collectively ban minotaurs from maccrage

And ultramar

The entire 500 worlds

[arctic talon]

The Minotaurs notably started shitting on Sanguinius and his death

To goad the lamenters

Into attacking them

They killed 1/3rd of the lamenters

Then stole their shit

Then invaded their homeworld and killed another 1/2 of the chapter

And stole their shit

Also Moloch offered up an honor dual

The moment the Lamenters champion accepted it

[valid needle]

So just unhonourable teachers pets

[arctic talon]

He fucking ganks the dude with his honor guard

[left talon]

He shot him dead?

[arctic talon]

(Based)

[storm jungle]

Thats why they keep winning

[arctic talon]

No he just made it a 21 on 1

lol

Also he stole the dudes sword

💀

[left talon]

Did they say it would be a fair duel though?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Moloch lies like that

[lament shoal]

Sounds like the inquisition should just nuke them already lol

[arctic talon]

He also did it to an astral claws captain

[arctic talon]

They’re good at their job

[valid needle]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Which is killing marines

lol

[left talon]

Nah they fit right in

[storm jungle]

Why would they

idk why people dont realise like

marines being evil doesnt matter

[arctic talon]

They literally are the high lords sugar baby

lol

[storm jungle]

also like

as long as they do the job nobody cares

lol

[arctic talon]

They don’t do anything that heretical

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

Aside from being assholes

Like they are school yard bullies

[storm jungle]

Yeah and being an asshole isnt outlawed

[arctic talon]

Who have mommy’s credit card

[lament shoal]

I do realize this

[arctic talon]

Formerly daddy’s until his head got blown off

[storm jungle]

Do you

[crisp heath]

Lol

[left talon]

I don’t think the Inquisition cares about the Codex Astartes

[lament shoal]

Yea

[storm jungle]

no

[storm jungle]

Its not really related to that

[arctic talon]

But yeah they work for the master of the administratum

They’re her literal attack dogs

[storm jungle]

its more that Minos get the job done

[lament shoal]

Can't a man just wanna see someone dead lol

[arctic talon]

The Minos are hilarious

[storm jungle]

no

unless its me

[arctic talon]

If you like assholes

[left talon]

I know I’m just joking

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Who bully people

And are lowkey incompetent

[lament shoal]

Not fair :(

[arctic talon]

Because the Minotaurs get their asses beaten

[crisp heath]

😂

[arctic talon]

All the time

lol

[left talon]

Right and what do the Blood Ravens get up to besides stealing like 7 power axes,several important flamers from the Salamanders and mugging a guy for his armour

[vagrant fox]

Recently I was reading people getting mad about the Minotaurs on some space marine subreddit or another, it's extremely good

[arctic talon]

Orpheus; Necrons got their ass

Badab: they stopped participating after bullying the shit out of the lamenters because they were too busy stealing

Mynmera: Moloch gets shot in the fucking head and seemingly dies

[storm jungle]

Nothing that you dont see in the games

also getting Primaris reinforcements

thats it really

[arctic talon]

Moloch has also died like

4 times

Once to a necron lord

[left talon]

I can’t play the games so I wouldn’t know

[arctic talon]

Once to an eldar autarch

[storm jungle]

They are like 1 dollar

go get em

[arctic talon]

Once to a chaos space marine

[storm jungle]

or read the lexi

[left talon]

Laptop ass

[arctic talon]

And then once to his ship exploding

Moloch lived all of these somehow

[storm jungle]

Yeah a laptop can run it

[arctic talon]

So

[storm jungle]

the games are from like 1953

[arctic talon]

The real question is if it’s moloch still

Or if it’s some random dude they call moloch everytime

[storm jungle]

Probably taking turns

[left talon]

Besides I intend on getting a Hive Lord or something soon

[vagrant fox]

He's so swagged and aurapilled that custodes are afraid of him so it's the same guy 100% dude could beat abbadon 1v1

[storm jungle]

Hive Lord?

this isnt Dickdivers 2

[arctic talon]

Moloch has an awful record with actual duels lmao

Overall

[left talon]

Tyrant sorry I was in Helldivers laughing at idiots earlier

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[left talon]

They were complaining about light pen being useless on Bots

(You shoot the glowing orange bit)

Or the red eyes

And if you can’t do that with light pen that’s when you whip out the anti tank weapon

“Waaa I can’t kill the tank with a regular pistol game bad”

[median star]

bought borderlands 4 earlier instead of helldiver's hopeful right choice

[left talon]

It was very funny

[lament shoal]

The marines malevolent would've been obliterated by now if them being assholes mattered on a larger scale

[left talon]

Borderlands 4 all I’ve heard is it runs slower than a potato

[left talon]

That’s the Salamanders job

[storm jungle]

Tbh thats the thing, it doesnt

they arent really a Chapter of any renown

[arctic talon]

Borderlands 4 runs like shit

The game is good though

[lament shoal]

Yeah they got their asses beat when they invaded nocturne lol

[left talon]

They invaded Nocturne?

[arctic talon]

A few of them did

lol

[storm jungle]

Standoff with the Salamanders over spoils on the derelict Mechanicum vessel Archimedes Rex. The Marines Malevolent backed down in the face of the Strike Cruiser Vulkan's Wrath, but the vessel later crash landed on Scoria. The Marines Malevolent quickly arrived, and saved Salamanders survivors but only in exchange for the weaponry they were originally seeking. The Marines Malevolent later appeared on Nocturne to again face off with the Salamanders, resulting in Tu'Shan finally giving them what they sought but not forgetting their behavior.[4b][4c]

it wasnt really an invasion

just a faceoff

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[lament shoal]

A small warband of them literally sided with chaos marines to get revenge on the salamanders for what Tu'Shan did to one of their captains

[arctic talon]

Does the maul just abuse people for the love of the game

As in the

Darktide maul personality

[storm jungle]

Hes a fascist cop

so take a guess

[arctic talon]

Well yeah

But even more then the other 2

lol

[lament shoal]

No its for the love of the lex

[left talon]

Wasn’t that the one where Tu’Shan beat the guy half to death for using civilians as bait for Orks or something

[lament shoal]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

That was the War for Armageddon

so no thats incorrect

read the goddamn lexi

[vagrant fox]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nope-no-way-noo-absolutely-not-gif-20244171

[left talon]

No I have to read Infinite and the Divine and Ahriman Omnibus first

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-manhattan-gif-18899941

[storm jungle]

no

[vagrant fox]

Read reddit theories like a good hammerhead

[arctic talon]

Yes

Ahriman omnibus good

[lament shoal]

They literally charged at one of the fortress cities and opened fire on the salamanders what

This happens in the final book of the salamanders omnibus

[storm jungle]

Thats an attack, an invasion would be like dozens of ships attacking the whole planet lol

the wording makes it sound like they were trying to exterminatus Nocturne

[lament shoal]

The chaos warband they were with had a whole ass fleet there

[storm jungle]

THATS THE CHAOS FLEET

AUARGHHH

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-dragon-elder-scrolls-glitch-spazzing-out-gif-5404090

[lament shoal]

I'm aware

[storm jungle]

no

[lament shoal]

They took part in the invasion. Just because they weren't the main force doesn't mean you can say they weren't part of the invasion

[lament shoal]

Also by this time the MMs had already gotten the loot from the mechanicus ship

Tu'Shan reluctantly gave it to them as payment for their rescue on Scoria in the epilogue of the first book

Besides if I remember correctly its explicitly stated in that the MM's were there to exact revenge on the salamanders for what Tu'Shan did to their captain

In one scene Tu'Shan was injured and pinned under a vehicle after his fight with a daemon. The MM's later showed up, saw Tu'Shan pinned under the vehicle, and went out of their way to specifically target him

That lexi text you posted only describes what happens in the first book, not the events that unfolded in the third book during the invasion of nocturne

The omnibus also has a few short stories to give context to some of the things that are mentioned in the main 3 books, with the story of Tu'Shan beating up the MMs captain being one of them

[lament shoal]

[arctic talon]

Anyways more life paths in Orion or less

Idk

V is basically their own character which is nice

So I wonder if Orion is gona be more blank slate or less

[storm jungle]

Yeah im entirely avoiding them rn to do sidequests

I really did not want to replay it; I started 3 days ago and I cannot stop

best mistake

[median star]

i got proofed against this at a young age watching my brother play borderlands 1 and he told me he was playing through it again because he rushed it the first time and tiny me thought that was dumb and id never do that

[vagrant fox]

I didn't quite finish the DLC, I was like an hour off. Maybe it's time

[rocky gale]

What do you mean the map is the entirety of Greece with hundreds of islands each filled with side quests and collectibles

[lament shoal]

[median star]

like even after already spoiling the story for rdr2 that final ride back to camp at the end got me good

[storm jungle]

Yeah this

I knew most of Arthur's fate

but fucking hell

seeing it happen with my own limbs/eyes

genuinely awful

[median star]

cyberpunks also like that the first few playthroughs cause every ending besides like 2 is just "damn so thats that huh"

[lament shoal]

The farthest I got was back in high school during Arthur's last ride and I was super immersed and bawling my eyes out, and then my dad got home and made me turn the game off which ruined the whole moment

[crystal forum]

wait

high school?

[lament shoal]

I first played rdr2 back in high school yeah

[arctic talon]

Cyberpunks endings kicking you in the shins at best

[plush mason]

i turn 31 in a few weeks, this has to be a nightmare right?

[crystal forum]

and we're all still stuck in limbo

[rocky gale]

I feel like 30 is a worse leap than 25

[surreal nest]

i feel like at least when you are older than 25 you are more comfortable aging to begin with

[median star]

sorry they missed you on your pick up date we can reschedule them to take you to the landfill tomorrow

It's weird that like I'm in a different generation to my siblings, but the same generation as my nephew

my sister and oldest brother are millennials my other brother is a late genz and im mid to late genz

like you're not even halfway there at 30

All my siblings are Millennial, I'm Gen Z, 2 of my nephews are Gen Z and the rest are Gen Alpha

being 30+ is good so far

20s sucked shit

[hallow saddle]

yeah agreed, looking back

[crystal forum]

every time somebody tells me that i assume it's cope

for living their 20's shittily

[vagrant fox]

you're just baby you don't know anything

[hallow saddle]

dont even worry about it

[vagrant fox]

what's that one ancient greek thing or quote complaining about young people

me asf

[languid meadow]

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

not a real qoute sadly but it's hilarious

[vagrant fox]

damn

[languid meadow]

"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching,”

this one is from 2800BCE iirc

[hallow saddle]

[languid meadow]

but unironically you're still young in your 30s you just have more stuff to do so you don't get to experience it

like middle age isn't till like 45ish

[arctic talon]

Isn’t this one from Sumeria or some shit

lol

[languid meadow]

yeah

Assyria nevermind

[vagrant fox]

Nothing new in the human sphere I suppose

[hallow saddle]

nothing ever happens

[crystal forum]

see this is why i promised myself to not hate younger generations

idc how cringe gen alpha is

we're all cringe

[vagrant fox]

Yeah the kids are cringe but I also lived through the scene phase and gmod humour so whatever

[crystal forum]

i used to post flipnote studios of me saying gay ass 8 year old stuff

[rocky gale]

Yea like skibidi toilet is just a continuation of the gmod shit we did

[crystal forum]

gmod becoming popular with every generation is peak

[storm jungle]

it srelaly not

I hate when people say this shit

Old gmod was funny because there was a lot of physical comedy and violence involved

lol

[crystal forum]

honestly im glad that gmod won't just be remembered for darkrp or some shit

[rocky gale]

https://youtu.be/b8HO6hba9ZE

[lament shoal]

Its an eternal cycle. The things older generations are criticizing the younger ones for today are the same ones they themselves were accused of by the generation before them, and they don't even realize it

[storm jungle]

nope

also SFM, disgusting

[crystal forum]

you never saw that video dilara?

it's a classic

[storm jungle]

No because its not

compared to say Dr Hax for example

[vagrant fox]

Idiots of Garry's Mod was where it was at

[storm jungle]

I do

[crystal forum]

his entire style is "whatever first pops in my head while listening to a new song" and i love it

[storm jungle]

im literally older than you

while you guys werent even born I was arresting people in darkrp

[vagrant fox]

simply peak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_mbrMvuTAM

[rocky gale]

Cringe Millennial

[storm jungle]

idk what that means

stop speaking in modern-speak

[crystal forum]

i always chose police in darkrp then convinced somebody to become mayor and ban having guns in public

for some reason this was doable in every server

so i'd just shoot everybody

and mods would let me

yes everybody hated me

[rocky gale]

My go too in Dark RP was pick the most annoying role and then glitch myself into peoples base and annoy them

[vagrant fox]

I played on a tiny server called Habeebs

Then me and my friends would get into fights with the other friendgroup on the server

this lasted like six years

[crystal forum]

looking back on darkrp it was pretty lame

a lot of crying and bullshit

very little rp if at all

[rocky gale]

DarkRP nowadays is so much more going on

[rose thorn]

its basicallly rust in gmod

[rocky gale]

I played it recently with some friends and we managed to get one of our friends voted Mayor, so he made all of us his secret service members

[crystal forum]

funny you say that since i joined a big darkrp server the other day to see how it is and heard the n word not even 2 minutes in

[lament shoal]

I wish I could play gmod. Prop hunt looks fun

Also I'm a sucker for sandboxes that let you fuck around with the game's mechanics

[crystal forum]

fucking around with gmod physics will take a solid 100 hours of your time before you even get to multiplayer

it's great

[lament shoal]

I know my ass would spend an entire day doing that lmfao

[crystal forum]

the game used to be a lot more about the physics before rp took over

like prop sliding and that flood game

then it became TTT, murder mystery, prop hunt

then straight up just darkrp and all the numerous rp slop

[vagrant fox]

I remember the big serious Half Life rp one called Taco n' Banana, it was full of freaks

[crystal forum]

rp has a lot of freaks yeah

[lament shoal]

Also I loved all the gmod jokes when tears of the kingdom dropped

[crystal forum]

also super predatory microtransactions

[vagrant fox]

real gmodheads waited in the last free version, gmod 9, in a server that progressively got emptier and emptier as people moved on to gmod 10

We'd cheer for everyone who purchased a copy of 10 and left

to be like 12 again and full of wonder, I'd hate it

[crystal forum]

i just remember most of my gmod time being arguing with mods at this point

all the fun servers were already starting to die out

this was like 2015

[rose thorn]

i comepltley missed the fallout wasteladn warfare reveals

[crystal forum]

also darkrp is just gambling now

[vagrant fox]

does gmod even have sassalization anymore, it's probably another tragic loss

[crystal forum]

i just see people playing cards everywhere

and the white kids trying to talk like gangsters is so fucking funny

[crystal forum]

what's that

[vagrant fox]

you built little civilizations and commanded toy figure size units while in first person

it was so cool

[crystal forum]

why is there power armor in the ncr pack

[languid meadow]

stripped power armour

erm

fakoid

[rose thorn]

salvaged power armor-

[crystal forum]

doesn't look salvaged to me

[rose thorn]

ir is

[crystal forum]

it's just missing the pauldrons

[rose thorn]

did you see it in the game?

[languid meadow]

yeah that's what it looks like in game 😭

[crystal forum]

huh

well it's only in like 2 locations so ofc i forgot

[arctic talon]

It’s so weird the NCR can’t use power armor aside from that one dude in lonesome road

lol

Who does have actual power armor

[crystal forum]

kinda gay to give NCR the one power armor unit as a model when the faction is not known for it at all

[arctic talon]

Well

[crystal forum]

but as we all know, power armor sells

[arctic talon]

The NCR heavy troopers wear it

In FNV

[crystal forum]

yeah and they're rare af

i can only remember the ones where you nuke the NCR after lonesome road

i forgot where the others are

i think during the ending general oliver is escorted by some

[arctic talon]

They show up with the president

At the dam

And they spawn when you’re max level rarely

[crystal forum]

and anyways my point is the faction is just not known for that

[arctic talon]

Ye

[languid meadow]

I think the show might have heavy troopers

there was some pictures of stuff let me find it

[arctic talon]

The leaks have

What seems like NCR power armor

[crystal forum]

ofc there will be

[arctic talon]

Whether it’s working or not

Who tf knows

[crystal forum]

like i said power armor sells

people love it

even though ranger armour is 100000 times more iconic

[rose thorn]

boy are you guys exicted for guard to get another army box next edition

[languid meadow]

the show makes the power armour look like the shitty piece of garbage it's supposed to with some unique NCR elements to it

[crystal forum]

i wonder how that fits with the bethesda mechanics

in NV you can only wear power armor if you're trained

[arctic talon]

NV and FO3

It’s to prevent cheesing

[crystal forum]

the NCR power armor is stripped of servos and shit so it's just a heavy piece of armor

[arctic talon]

Which is lame

[crystal forum]

but in 4 raiders have power armor

[arctic talon]

Don’t need training in FO1/2 or 4

lol

It’s a weird retcon

[crystal forum]

everybody has power armor in 4

[arctic talon]

It’s a retcon they then retcon’d

[crystal forum]

which is fine since the power armor mechanics of 4 are great

[arctic talon]

Don’t think about it too hard is my opinion

It’s a game mechanic first

[lament shoal]

Dude it makes you feel so fucking powerful

I love it

[arctic talon]

FO4 power armor is great

[crystal forum]

the problem i have is everybody has fucking ppwer armor now

[languid meadow]

Ok so this ISN'T salvaged power armour it's supposed to be (S2 spoilers for the fallout show) ||NCR deathclaw hunter armor which I assume they prob got some of the tech from hidden valley||

it's a lil goofy but I like it

[crystal forum]

power armor lost all its uniqueness

[rocky gale]

In Fallout 4 Nate doesn't need training since he was in the army and was trained there...... and Nora doesn't need training because she was a lawyer and I guess lawyers are also trained in how to use Power Armour

[crystal forum]

no i dont care about the training part

what im talking about is that other factions had to strip power armor

[arctic talon]

They should have just made whichever spouse was the PC be part of the army

lol

[lament shoal]

I love pain train

[crystal forum]

but in 4 you dont need to strip anymore

[languid meadow]

I don't like raiders having PA

[crystal forum]

so the salvaged power armor of NCR no longer makes sense

since they can just use a fully powered one now

[crystal forum]

yeah it started being way too common

plus bethesda kept adding new versions of power armor that made it lose its cool factor imo

[languid meadow]

I think T60 is fine as a slight upgrade to 45 but still being ass

gives knights something

[crystal forum]

t-51 used to be the power armor. then t-45 came in 3 which was a predecessor, this is fine so far

[languid meadow]

paladins should've kept 51

[crystal forum]

discounting enclave PA of course

[valid needle]

Nate makes sense on why he doesn’t need training tbh

Nora is iffy

[arctic talon]

Point being power armor training

is entierly a gameplay mechanic

[crystal forum]

then 4 got the t-63

[arctic talon]

introduced by FO3

[crystal forum]

or whatever it's xalled

[arctic talon]

lol

[languid meadow]

you don't need it in 1/2 right

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[languid meadow]

it's been a while

[arctic talon]

you don't need it in 1/2

[crystal forum]

power armor in 1 is the end game armor

[arctic talon]

which is why the 2 get power armor ASAP and steamroll the game route

exists lol

but in FO1 its extremely hard to get

its only a thing in FO3 and NV

because you can get power armor

really easily

[languid meadow]

technically X0-1 is prototype prewar armour that turned into APA which the enclave uses in FO2

[crystal forum]

it's post war

[arctic talon]

T-65 is upgraded T-45 power armor

While T-51 is its own thing

[languid meadow]

X0-1 IS NOT POSTWAR RAAAAAAH

[crystal forum]

it is

[valid needle]

That’s T-60

[arctic talon]

I forgor

my bad

[lament shoal]

Wore this in my last playthrough

[valid needle]

T-65 is the secret service armour

[arctic talon]

fuck you're right

I'm not a big fallout lore person

I just play the games and absorb info that way

[crystal forum]

t-60 was made into the ultimate pre war armor in 4 initially

[arctic talon]

[languid meadow]

you can find prewar versions of it as advertisements in Nuka World, X0-1 is a prewar prototype design that the enclave took to make APA which is in FO2

[crystal forum]

then bethesda kept adding more armors in the shop

[arctic talon]

and then 76 retcon'd it by making it worse then 51 lol

[crystal forum]

im glad

t-60 looks like shit

[arctic talon]

Well worse in all aspects but repair costs and radiation protection

which its equal to T-51 on

lol

Its way cheaper to fix

[valid needle]

T-60 was always worse

[arctic talon]

It was not worse in FO4

it was better then 51 stat wise

[languid meadow]

The FTV shows us how really fucked T60 is and I like that

[valid needle]

T-60 was lorewise made because it was too expensive to make T51 so they just slapped more plates on T-45

[crystal forum]

i think it's funny that fallout 1's menu starts off by showing you a salvaged T-51 helmet that you cant obtain in game

anyways t-51 was just power armor

[languid meadow]

but yes X-01 is a very VERY late prewar design which the enclave took and made better into the APA

[crystal forum]

then in 2 they added the enclave power armor

t-45 came in 3

[arctic talon]

T-45 is cool

tbh

T-60 I dislike for some reason

I can't put my fucking finger on it though

[crystal forum]

yeah im fine with t-45

[arctic talon]

X-01 is fine

APA is cool

APA Mk2 is also cool

[languid meadow]

APA2 and 3

[arctic talon]

Wtf is 3

[crystal forum]

t-45 is the bethesda armor\

[arctic talon]

T-45 is iconic for the bethesda fallouts

tbh

[crystal forum]

it was added to 3 as the bethesda image

it's on every poster of 3

[languid meadow]

Hellfire armor which only hellfire squad had

[arctic talon]

Oh

[crystal forum]

it's why t-60 is just a modified t-45

[arctic talon]

you want to know something that annoys me

[crystal forum]

t-45 is iconic to bethesda

[arctic talon]

the FO3 APA is worse then T-45

stat wise

[languid meadow]

Idr where you find normal APA again

since all the soldiers wear mk2

[arctic talon]

its the Mk2

[crystal forum]

winterized t-51 best armor

[arctic talon]

its worse then T45 Power armor

[crystal forum]

infinite durability

[arctic talon]

in FO3 for some reason

[crystal forum]

i wore it the whole game

[arctic talon]

I'd assume its for game balance

but idfk

[languid meadow]

I guess? cause late game you get a billion suits

[crystal forum]

3 and NV power armors were limited by the engine tbh

it's why they're just normal armor with better stats

[arctic talon]

ngl the Enclave remenants if you get them to side with the NCR

must be fucking insane from the NCR PoV

[crystal forum]

im glad 4 added such an in depth PA system

one of the few things i think 4 did greatly

[arctic talon]

FO4 made power armor feel like power armor

[languid meadow]

titans of the new west does it well imo, mixes the styles of 1/2 with 4

[arctic talon]

aside from the fusion cores

lol

FO 1/2 power armor is absurdly OP

[crystal forum]

yeah ofc

[vagrant fox]

Nothing mods can't fix at least

[crystal forum]

you only get it at the end of the game

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/power-armor-t51-new-vegas-fallout-fallout-new-vegas-gif-15108354792146588773

look how he runs lmfao

[vagrant fox]

I installed a mod that made power armour immune to smaller caliber rounds and it got really funny

[crystal forum]

there's that perk that makes some bullets deflect off you right

[languid meadow]

the DT system in 3/NV was cool sucks they didn't bring it back in 4

[vagrant fox]

I don't recall, 76 has that one where there's a chance bullets will deflect but it doesn't matter what it is

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if the option to eject power cores will come back in future fallout games.

[crystal forum]

the gun system in NV was as good as the engine could handle at the time

im so sad 4 had to ruin it

[arctic talon]

I dislike power cores gameplay wise

tbh

but I get why they exist

LOL

[valid needle]

Just a squad of 70 year olds in APA mk1 gunning down Caesars legion

[vagrant fox]

I entirely get it, but I also removed that mechanic

[arctic talon]

putting down mutie savages just like the good ol days/j

[crystal forum]

the cores literally only matter in survival difficulty

in very hard you can wear armor 24/7

[arctic talon]

I like the enclave remenants in FONV tbh

they're a great like

dissection of the Enclave

[pulsar stump]

The Energy of a Hydroelectric Dam in a Redbull Can.

[crystal forum]

why is this guy blocked

[arctic talon]

bcs you blocked them on another server

[crystal forum]

oh yup i see why now

I was about to ask that same question.

The advanced armour from Brotherhood Of Steel.

[crystal forum]

[nocturne crest]

Sure.

[crystal forum]

t-60

[languid meadow]

I don't like APA2

I prefer normal APA over it

[pulsar stump]

I hate you for saying that, but I fully understand why you'd say it.

[arctic talon]

APA2 looks worse then APA

fr fr

[vagrant fox]

This is the only one I genuinely, truly hate

[arctic talon]

lmao

is there even lore for this

is the 76 store cosmetic stuff canon

[vagrant fox]

I don't think so and no idea

[nocturne crest]

Is APA2 the hellfire version.

[crystal forum]

unrelated but my fav ballistic pistol in fallout is the Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol in fallout 3

first off the name

secondly because it shoot indenciary ammo and that's funny

actually im stupid what am i saying

nothing beats the ranger sequoia

[nocturne crest]

Honestly, this looks like it's from Warframe than fallout to me.

[arctic talon]

Hellfire is its own thing

its APA3

looks like this

kinda derpy looking

[crystal forum]

i like it
