[nocturne crest]

Ah, so APA 2 is the standard Enclave armour then?

[arctic talon]

Its standard as of FO3 yeah

[pulsar stump]

Depends on which splinter they are.

[arctic talon]

normal APA isn't present in FO3

X0-1 is a predecessor to APA because Fallout 4 wanted APA but without the enclave directly being around ig

idk

[nocturne crest]

So does the X-01 mean it's APA 1.

[arctic talon]

No

[nocturne crest]

Oh.

[arctic talon]

X0-1 is a prewar version that turned into APA

because its in Nukaworld

on display

so it has to be pre war

[crystal forum]

grrrr

4 lore

[arctic talon]

I don't like it either

[arctic talon]

but meh

[nocturne crest]

Yay or Nay to this armour being scrapped?

[pulsar stump]

X-01 is effectively APA Mk0

[crystal forum]

i really hate how 4 ruined nuka cola

firstly by making the bottle stupid

[arctic talon]

but X-01 is totally a predecessor to APA lol

[crystal forum]

secondly by adding gay mascots

[arctic talon]

if it wasn't outright meant to be APA until nukaworld

[arctic talon]

institute not having power armor fits them, however the armor is cool

lol

[crystal forum]

a lot of what i hate about 4 is how it doubled down on making the setting wackier

[pulsar stump]

Look up "Brotherhood Of Steel Advanced Power Armour" if you want to set off your gag reflex.

[crystal forum]

like they distilled what made fallout good and only took the bullets points

power armor, vaults, nuka cola

[vagrant fox]

Well, Bethesda followed up with Starfield so arguably, they can't write

[crystal forum]

3 was fine though

i didnt mind it even if it had its dumb elements

[vagrant fox]

Not even gonna lie I don't like 3 at all

[crystal forum]

like rehashing 1

[arctic talon]

ah the game that almost killed fallout lmao

Good ol brotherhood of steel

that shit might have been the last fallout game

LOL

[crystal forum]

multiple games almost killed fallout

[pulsar stump]

And I still had more fun playing that Piece of Shit than I did with 3.

[crystal forum]

actually it was killed

like it was dead in the water before bethesda bought it

[crystal forum]

i have to give it some credit for letting the setting survive and bringing it to 3d at least

[pulsar stump]

Anyone that doesn't view 3 as the worst Fallout entry is either lying or too new to be having an opinion on the matter.

[crystal forum]

that's a huge hurdle itself. new vegas didn't have to make the engine work since it was already done for obsidian

[nocturne crest]

https://tenor.com/view/whats-the-meaning-of-this-shit-gif-26271920

[lament shoal]

[crystal forum]

i think 4 is much worse than 3

people just give 4 a pass because of "gameplay"

aside from power armor i find 4's gameplay to still be shit

especially the loot system

[vagrant fox]

To me they're on the same rung of pretty bad with aspects I like

[pulsar stump]

It's irredeemably bad.
And it doesn't have the excuse of being a goofy spinoff like BOS to hide behind.

[nocturne crest]

I know we discounted 76, but this looks a little neat to me:

[crystal forum]

im sure you'd have a different opinion if NV didnt exist

like ofc when you compare to NV it's nothing

[vagrant fox]

Probably, but I don't like most of NV either but I tolerate it for the writing and world building

Maybe I just don't like Fallout

[nocturne crest]

It's almost like Ultramarines that have fallen to Khorne vibes.

[crystal forum]

what's your fav fallout then

are you a tactics fan

[vagrant fox]

Nah probably NV

[pulsar stump]

I'm honestly surprised NV came out as well as it did with the heavily kneecapped development cycle it had.

[vagrant fox]

tbh it's the same problem with the Elder Scrolls, I only like Morrowind the most for the writing and probably nostalgia but a lot of the gameplay is kind of ass

[crystal forum]

i recommend trying tactics if any of you havent

it's a pretty decent game

you know, i think what modern fallout really fails at doing is respecting the location too

if NV was done by bethesda it would only be about making 1950's las vegas be goofy

[vagrant fox]

actually I enjoyed FO3s Point Lookout and FO4s Far Harbour quite a bit, they're up there

[crystal forum]

those are good yeah

[pulsar stump]

Point Lookout was pretty good.

[crystal forum]

i do like point lookout a lot for how desolate it feels

[vagrant fox]

The internment camp in Point Lookout is in my memory for some reason

[crystal forum]

but that's probably because the lack of NPC's means bethesda couldn't ruin it with its shitty writting

the environmental storytelling is very nice

ofc to me nothing compares to NV dlc's

[vagrant fox]

ngl the audiologs in FO76 before they added NPCs were really well done

Small stories littered around the place

I think there's one where a doctor is succumbing to a disease and does a bone mnemonic rhyme to keep track of time and on the final one she goes up the arm to the fingers and then you hear a gunshot
That one was baller

[crystal forum]

the fact that obsidian could make me cry for a skeleton in lonely hearts

which is also my least favorite of the DLC's

[vagrant fox]

People are cowards for hating Dead Money

[crystal forum]

dead money is my #1

it's peak writing and gameplay to me

[pulsar stump]

It's about letting go of Debt.

[crystal forum]

i legit do not understand why people hate it

also dead money takes very little modding to turn into a survival horror

[pulsar stump]

[Your Collar Is Emitting A High-Pitched Beeping Noise]

[crystal forum]

my fav part of fallout DLC's really is how they strip you of everything and throw you into some completely unrelated story

at least, that's when they're at their best

you'll be fighting to keep the mojave together while an incoming war is on the horizon then BAM you wake up in a sci fi story with your brain gone

[humble shoal]

have I found the bottom of the barrel 40k content?

[pulsar stump]

Reddit and it's consequences have been a disaster for Warhammer.

[vagrant fox]

What's the obsession with taking huge buff guys and making them into generic waifus with stonking huge milkers

[humble shoal]

idk tbh

but youtube decided I had to see it

[crystal forum]

because there's no female primarch

[humble shoal]

the 2nd

[crystal forum]

true

and sang is like one of two least manly primarchs

[humble shoal]

otherwise known as tyberos the red wake

[crystal forum]

but these cowards are too afraid to just be into primarchs without making them fem

[humble shoal]

honestly if gender bending primarchs...

[crystal forum]

i was recommended a femboy porn game on steam store page and i thought for once that a steam game would be gay

but no all the reviews are straight people

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/creature-commandos-doctor-phosphorus-dance-dancing-rick-flag-sr-gif-11684004299314566126

is it femboy futa?

that game hit top 10 best time sellers for a bit

suprassed D2 and almost surpassed SM2

[nocturne crest]

Probably.

[crystal forum]

nah some other game

[nocturne crest]

So odd question, but would anyone be against Sanguinus being made into a part of the Legion of the damned.

Oh.

[crystal forum]

but anyways straight coded femboys are real and they keep me awake at night

[nocturne crest]

Femboy roommate?

[celest dome]

Like officially in lore ? Yes

[crystal forum]

also i thought femboy replaced the term trap

since trap is insanely offensive

[celest dome]

In homebrew, go wild

[languid meadow]

it did yea

but I don't think the people who make fetish content care

[celest dome]

I thought they meant slightly different things

[crystal forum]

femboy isnt a very old term

everybody used to say trap

because the assumption was the femboy is doing it on purpose to deceive straight people or some shit

then i guess being gay became less bad so femboy was used instead since i dont see trap anymore

unless i go on pixiv which is still full of the most offensive terms known to man

but it's Japanese so that's acceptable to them

straight coded queer content is a thing and it really sucks

[vagrant fox]

just don't be gay 4head

[valid needle]

Yes

It makes his death and torment of his sons void

And I’m not even a ba enjoyer

[storm jungle]

Id say go for it

All the Primarchs are coming back, why does it even matter anymore anyway when its just about the profits tbh

[humble shoal]

as the #1 blood angelks hater, I am also against this

[crystal forum]

oh shit new darktide update

why is nobody talking about it

[storm jungle]

They are

you just dont look outside of lorechat

(sensible decision)

[crystal forum]

this is a darktide server?

still no melta

wtf you said we'd have melta dilara

[vagrant fox]

I was promised a power axe as well

[humble shoal]

I was promised a power shovel

[crystal forum]

im glad mortis trials got some love at least

it's the only thing in darktide i still play

[nocturne crest]

New question: Would anyone be against the introduction of Non-Astartes to the Legion of the Damned?

[storm jungle]

GW probably would

though i think it makes more narrative sense that any imperial can just be a fire-zombie so

[crystal forum]

legion of damned is too distinctively astartes

and GW wont allow any changes to astartes content

[nocturne crest]

Not evening making a Legion of the Damned Yarrick?

[arctic talon]

I'd rather GW come up with something else

for like

Imperium Daemons

[languid meadow]

also like I still bet on yarrick being brought back when GW gets desperate enough

in flesh and blood so they can sell the old model

[pulsar stump]

Imagine being jumped by 500 flaming skeletons dressed in Cadian 8th Regalia.

[vagrant fox]

space marine thing but normal humans now too is a bit boring

[crystal forum]

whenever we get armageddon part 4 im sure

gazgul is 100% coming back

[sacred ginkgo]

Yarrick is like
THE most easy to kitbash named character

[nocturne crest]

Is that the 40k version of Sharknado

[pulsar stump]

That's just what it feels like to get Tarpitted by Bullgryns.

[vital ginkgo]

Which space marine chapters have the physically strongest and weakest astartes? Does it come from the geneseed or the genetics of the natives of whatever world they're from?

[pulsar stump]

And GW won't bring back the Elysians because it'll make the Tau Mains cry.

The ability to deepstrike Ogryns is an unholy thing that's better left forgotten.

[spare osprey]

deeply so yes

[spare osprey]

no answer on such a question

it's a mix of everything

[pulsar stump]

Storm Giants.

[vital ginkgo]

Storm giants are strongest?

[pulsar stump]

The flipside of that is Primaris Marines.

[pulsar stump]

Geneseed mutation causing them to basically turn into Ogryns.

[vital ginkgo]

Oh

[pulsar stump]

Mind you, these guys are still as dexterous as Astartes despite being built like Ogryns.

[vital ginkgo]

Also do we know who the physically weakest primarch was? Not the worst fighter but the just plain weakest one

[arctic talon]

Curse of Tau flamer says explode

lol

[nocturne crest]

???

[arctic talon]

Elysians were FW

[pulsar stump]

12 Bullgryns.
Directly in the middle of your Gun Line.

[arctic talon]

so barely anyone played them lmao

Makes any gunline army cry

lol

Guard included

Elysians got discontinued by FW before legends existed

so they never got Legends rules

[nocturne crest]

Damn.

[pulsar stump]

Elysians being able to deepstrike anything and everything that wasn't a Tank made anyone not running Armoured Fist or Tanks cry buckets.

[nocturne crest]

Any demand to bring them back?

[arctic talon]

the minis? yeah

the army rules? probably not a 1 to 1 of what it was lol

[pulsar stump]

I want their special rules back.

[arctic talon]

Because its kind of comical being allowed to drop a banewolf

[pulsar stump]

I want the Competitive sweats to suffer.

[arctic talon]

But whatever

idc lol

Detachment D-99 was cool

as was anphelion project

[pulsar stump]

Back in my day we had to deal with the bullshit that was the Fish of Fury.

[arctic talon]

Fish of Fury was dead by the time elysians were out

lol

[pulsar stump]

Yeah.

[arctic talon]

They took that shit out back and blew its brains out in 4e

which was good

lol

[pulsar stump]

And it was dead before 4e because the Basilisk exists.

[nocturne crest]

Then again, has the Tempestus Aquilons replaced them?

[pulsar stump]

People often forget that the Guard has access to the biggest guns on the field.

[pulsar stump]

They're doing a Bad Job of it, and basically just come off as a direct downgrade of the Warhawks.

[nocturne crest]

So new question, but should GW add the Severan Dominate into mainstream 40k or still go with the theme of anyone who goes renegade by themselves eventually turn to Chaos?

More renegade human factions that are not a part of chaos?

[pulsar stump]

I want the Blood Pact to get any amount of Attention.

Because they're Moderate Khornates.

[nocturne crest]

Centrist Khornates.

So odd question, but can Space marines do stuff that looks like it came out of a bollywood film?

[outer wave]

What does that mean exactly?

[storm jungle]

I think he means straight people trying to appeal to queer audiences and it just not really working?

[valid needle]

Yes

Marines even have super speed

[rose thorn]

whats,,,, the context????

what did i miss?

[storm jungle]

The context is my mom

[vagrant fox]

fujoshiing out

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/muscle-man-regular-show-my-gif-26029512

[storm jungle]

In novels yes. In visual media no, because its goofy as fuck

Marines being agents from the matrix in novels is so braindead, I hate any Author that does it

https://tenor.com/view/gizmokat-gizmo-rune-bitcoin-runes-gizmo-bitcoin-bitcoin-memecoins-gif-7629012533872028868

SM1, SM2 and Astartes is basically how I picture marines

fast when needed and very durable but still mortal

[vagrant fox]

I want them to be fast and lethal but straight up matrix tier is goofy

[storm jungle]

Nope.

Banned.

[vagrant fox]

ban urself

[storm jungle]

No dice chief

this is my personal pit of Tartarus

im stuck here forever

[vagrant fox]

Suffer here for all eternity then

[lament shoal]

This is Dilara's penance crusade. To be a mod in the darktide server

[vagrant fox]

Or go to the 40k discord where kaggen is being ignored

[lament shoal]

Not an enviable fate

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

[nocturne crest]

Now I'm just picturing a Pysker just doing this for shits and giggles:

https://tenor.com/view/singham-gif-22604308

[storm jungle]

Entirely possible tbh

magic in 40k has no set rules

which is great as much as its painful lol

[lament shoal]

Lol does this answer your question?

[storm jungle]

Tbh

thats not Bollywood tier

[nocturne crest]

https://tenor.com/view/bollywood-indian-flying-fight-brawl-gif-4834697

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/go-for-it-bang-action-gif-12268827

[arctic talon]

no

Aquillons are different from Elysians

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/rajnikant-crash-accident-bollywood-southmovie-gif-9526187

[lament shoal]

You telling me they wouldn't have a normal ass dude shoulder tackle a car and live in a Bollywood movie?

[nocturne crest]

Also, what's the vehicle that's firing on the space marine?

[storm jungle]

Leman Russ

the minigun variant

[storm jungle]

See the gif above

Bollywood goes to like EXTREMELY goofy territory

in a good way that is

[arctic talon]

The minigun russ sucks both in lore and tabletop LOL

its only good against

humans and orks

[storm jungle]

tbh not like it makes any difference

if it was any other variant they'd still come up with some bullshit to not have it kill the marine

[arctic talon]

he has a storm shield

so thats the excuse

lol

[storm jungle]

thats not a stormshield

[arctic talon]

is it not

[storm jungle]

its a fucking uhhh

knight crest thingy

from the wreck

[arctic talon]

oh lmao

right

[storm jungle]

Yeah lol

[arctic talon]

I'm dumb

[storm jungle]

anyway like

a marine in this gets shot point blank i nthe head with a bolt pistol

and it does nothing

so my point stands

I made the mistake once of looking at this scene's comment section on youtube and god its dreadful

[lament shoal]

Is it full of imperium larpers

[storm jungle]

kinda, its just

"LOOK AT THE GLORIOUS SPACE MARINE"

[arctic talon]

Its marine wank

[storm jungle]

"THIS IS HOW FAST ASTARTES ARE"

[arctic talon]

which is fine but also

it gets boring

lol

[storm jungle]

"THE MIGHT OF THEIR FURY PUTS ME TO SHAME"

Yeah that lol

[arctic talon]

Larping

die

[storm jungle]

let me get an example

[arctic talon]

[valid needle]

I’m dead bruh

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if people do the same for Halo's Spartans.

[arctic talon]

They do

next question

[vagrant fox]

yes

[lament shoal]

I've seen it

[nocturne crest]

Are Spartans better than Space marines by being cheaper?

[lament shoal]

The secret level animation was great though, I've watched it like 5 times lol

[vagrant fox]

It's more or less how fast I want SM to be but I also want to see one eat total shit in that style

[storm jungle]

If its master chief and hes in a novel? Yes

Chief does some Custodian tier fuckery

its hilarious

[arctic talon]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GxdjtDdWIAA19YB.gif

[storm jungle]

Lmao GOTTEM

[arctic talon]

I like marines

Is the worst part

this is like nails on chalkboard for me

[vagrant fox]

yea

[storm jungle]

I mean I do too

i literally got 2 super detailed hmebrew chapters

[arctic talon]

No my point is like

this makes me want to

eat a glock

[storm jungle]

their fandom can be just egregious yeah you just tune it off

[vagrant fox]

Nothin' worse than space marine fans when you like space marines

[lament shoal]

To be fair, its only natural for people to be happy that marines are portrayed right, but I get your point

[storm jungle]

I mean its natural sure

but i dont need a fucking essay

[lament shoal]

After a while it can get a bit old

[storm jungle]

like they say this shit

yet ive seen about as many material where marines do the exact opposite of this stuff

[lament shoal]

Its a spectrum lol

Roommate's playing darktide again. I got him hooked

Too bad I can't play with him though

[storm jungle]

Damn shame 😔

the drugs work deep

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-ryan-gosling-blade-runner-2049-blade-runner-darktide-when-you-find-me-gif-13647306158287826208

[nocturne crest]

So when do we get the Darktide mission of riding in a truck or on a tank and we got to defend it?

[arctic talon]

Idk

I wana be in a chimera

[nocturne crest]

Something different to the train ride.

[lament shoal]

The ogryn will be the driver

[arctic talon]

LOL

if you want the real answer

as to what I possibly want

a modified tauros would be cool

goofy ATV

[vagrant fox]

Diagonal elevator section defence when

[nocturne crest]

I'm surprised they still haven't added this back to the guard yet.

Diagonal Akira elevator section defence section when?

Fuck.

I forgot what Diagonal meant.

I'm an idiot.

[lament shoal]

Did you make special names for the companies of said homebrews? I've got my own that I'm working on and I wanna do that but I'm having trouble coming up with names

[storm jungle]

I will eventually, currently im too autistic and trying to work out their insignia

[lament shoal]

Lmfao thats fair

[storm jungle]

Fucking dumbass logos

[lament shoal]

Sick

My homebrew still hasn't left my brain lol, its just been stewing up there

Haven't drawn any of their stuff yet

[vagrant fox]

Palpatine I'm too weak reaction every time I work on my shitass homebrew

[storm jungle]

^

I got like over 80+ 40k OCs as well

Guardsmen, Inquisitors, Gangers, Rogue Traders, Eldar, etc

[lament shoal]

I do know what I want the logo to be as well as how their armor looks tho

[storm jungle]

Thats always a good start

[lament shoal]

There's this artist I wanna commission to draw them but she's been off commissions for ages now

[vagrant fox]

I'm quite fond of the angular bird on the left and the upside down one

[lament shoal]

What program did you use to make these btw?

[storm jungle]

Uhh kapwing, which is a video editing software but you can just use it for images

[lament shoal]

Ty

[storm jungle]

Np, its ironically pretty easy to use

and hilarious because i literally use it for anything but its actual purpose for photo editing

[storm jungle]

That one is the top choice atm

I kinda want their logo to be something "gentle" so will see what i think, I know at least most of these unused ones ill re-purpose as Company logos

[lament shoal]

My friend's fighting a plague ogryn next to a death pit so I told him to be careful about it throwing him off, and right as I said that it fucking happened LMAO

[nocturne crest]

Would Mechancius daemons make sense?

[storm jungle]

Yeah why not.

Machine Spirits basically are just that lol

just missing a physical daemon form

theres no "is it possible" idea in 40k

just a good execution

[pulsar stump]

And those non-rules are forced to abide by the Absolute Rule of Blanks existing.

[storm jungle]

Not really

[sacred bluff]

i wanna see more of them being portrayed so fast from the human perspective

[storm jungle]

a psyker can still kill a blank

[sacred bluff]

kind of like they did in astartes

[storm jungle]

Astartes is the most balanced version you can get imo

otherwise its just kinda goofy

[sacred bluff]

to humans, custodes are so fast it's like a blur iirc

you know that scene in man of steel

when faora is fighting all the humans

[storm jungle]

yeah thats what I mean lol

[sacred bluff]

let me find it

[storm jungle]

like if that was the case Marines would never die

[sacred bluff]

https://youtu.be/UkK7_FsJE7Q?t=15

like this is how fast i would think a custodes/space marine is compared to a human

custodes and primarchs for sure

[storm jungle]

Yeah but again if this was the case they are basically all just supermen

and thats very boring

also just ends up with the issue of "only marines can kill other marines" ala superman with the kryptonians

[sacred bluff]

it's not!!!

[storm jungle]

It is!!!

[sacred bluff]

reading the constantin parts in end and the death volume 2 had me thinking that

it's been 32 seconds

[languid meadow]

Wow that scene did not age well

[storm jungle]

So much grey...

[storm jungle]

yeah but thats Valdor

and hes the Goatstandin for a reason

[sacred bluff]

he's the yellow king...

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

Only eldar should be that fast because they're goated ☝️ 🤓

and very anime

[storm jungle]

If only that was the case in lore

Marines literally get any comic book bullshit the writer of a material can come up so not like it matters at this point

[sacred bluff]

at least let Sanguinius move that fast

[storm jungle]

He did tho!

[sacred bluff]

but he wasnt fast enough 😔

[storm jungle]

Horus literally had to reach into the 8th Dimension (whatever the fuck that even means) to catch him

[languid meadow]

custodes and primarchs moving that fast seem... ok same with some eldar

but marines get washed by normal humans

trying to remember the book where the firecast warrior was fighting that raptor

[sacred bluff]

3 marines got washed by a single ghost

[vagrant fox]

It's def too fast for sm according to my tastes

[storm jungle]

or worse...

[languid meadow]

ok TO BE FAIR

[storm jungle]

FORCES ARE FEW-

[languid meadow]

those are necron scarabs they're whole thing is eating literally EVERYTHING

LET EM AURA FARM

[storm jungle]

thats the case and I love how they avoid EVERYONE here

[languid meadow]

go bug go

[storm jungle]

because otherwise they'd all be fucking vored

because reminder a few swarms of these can eat an entire hive city

which is based as fuck

[languid meadow]

the scream reminds me of DOW lmfao

[storm jungle]

dude

the marines in DoW have some HORRIFIC death screams

[vagrant fox]

The DoW voice acting remains top tier to this day

I wasn't the biggest 40k fan at the time but by the time I putthe fame down I sure was and the voice work did a lot of it

[arctic talon]

Ngl it’s so funny how 99% of the scarab’s are ignoring the marines

Like wtf are they doing lol

[crystal forum]

they fixed it

the balaclava no longer clips through the nose

[languid meadow]

review bomb

I didn't pay for this

[pulsar stump]

And in all of those cases it's a Lower-Mid Blank vs a Psyker using non-psychic methods of attack.

You throw someone like Jurgen at a Psyker, any psyker, and all they can do is have a seizure on the floor.

[sacred ginkgo]

Or they can like
Run
and shoot at you with a gun

You can't exactly sneak up on someone when your presence causes a splitting headache

[pulsar stump]

That headache also makes Wizards blind and bleed from every orifice.

[sacred ginkgo]

If they're close enough yeah

[pulsar stump]

Jurgen is a terrifying bastard when you realise he's got full control over his Null Field on an instinctual level.

The man can just turn off a Broodlord.

[storm jungle]

Not really again, no.

A blank is very much an radius based power, how do you think Culexus assassins sometimes fail in their missions? Lmao

or again just... drop a tank on em

[pulsar stump]

Because a Non-Psyker actually did their job of protecting the Psyker.

That's why.

[storm jungle]

No, a psyker did the job.

[daring creek]

Which dawn of war game should I play

[storm jungle]

This is literally a "Wizard vs Gun" argument

its still a fucking gun

it can blow the brains out of someone

[hollow linden]

lol

[daring creek]

Wizard casts anti gun spell

[pulsar stump]

And that's what the Anti-Wizard just goes and does.

[storm jungle]

Rocket

[daring creek]

And blows up gunner

[opaque coyote]

"Now then, with this device, I can make somebody's brains... DISAPPEAR!"

[storm jungle]

Artillery

[opaque coyote]

BANG

[daring creek]

Anti rocket spell

Anti artillery spell

[opaque coyote]

6 year olds in the playground be like

[storm jungle]

Countless more shooters, he cant focus on all of them and dies

Next

[pulsar stump]

That's called a Refractor Field.

[storm jungle]

Those also break and overload

even on titans

so uh

:]

[daring creek]

Multitasker god spell

[pulsar stump]

https://tenor.com/view/magnus-the-red-incorrect-magnus-tts-gif-27530551

[storm jungle]

Doesnt work that way

[storm jungle]

Correct

how do you think titans kill each other

or die from shadowswords

[daring creek]

Works that way spell

[storm jungle]

*next

[storm jungle]

Nope.

[pulsar stump]

Titans have VOID SHIELDS.

[opaque coyote]

Like we all know that Psykers could easily like

Blow up somebody's head while they're piloting a titan.

But that would be fucking boring

[storm jungle]

Okay and?

[daring creek]

Yep spell

[pulsar stump]

Not Refractors.

[storm jungle]

Same shit

its a forcefield

[pulsar stump]

No.

[storm jungle]

Yes.

its a dome

that blocks things

[opaque coyote]

I forgot if void shields block Psyker fuckery

I think they do?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Yeah

[opaque coyote]

Yeah so that explains why Psykers just don't

Blow up the Princeps head

[storm jungle]

Meanwhile

a humble ork with a bike

[pulsar stump]

A Refractor Field is a bubble of Non-Baryonic matter being used to deflect an attack.

A Void Shield is a wafer-thin PORTAL TO HELL that banishes attacks DIRECTLY INTO HELL.

[storm jungle]

Forcefield yes

we've been over this

[pulsar stump]

No.

[storm jungle]

Yes.

[pulsar stump]

No.

[storm jungle]

Yes.

next please

[opaque coyote]

Honestly imagine being a Daemon, you're just sitting around in the warp, and then you suddenly get surprised by 16 cyclonic torpedos

[pulsar stump]

That's how it works, Yeah.

[arctic talon]

You can still pierce void shields eventually

Is the whole point

Is what dilara is saying

[storm jungle]

Not according to youtube commenters

[arctic talon]

They have a failing point

[storm jungle]

oh lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah that too

[arctic talon]

We’ve seen them buckle and fail

[opaque coyote]

We all know that YouTube comments are the pinnacle of intelligence

[pulsar stump]

The emitter eventually overloads because holding open a portal to hell takes a lot of power to do.

[storm jungle]

I mean no

titan books are EXTREMELY inconsistent with it

why do you think titans have nearby support

[pulsar stump]

If the writer isn't an Idiot, they won't be writing it wrong.

[opaque coyote]

CoD syndrome

[storm jungle]

its 40k

nobody cares

all of it is idiotic

[opaque coyote]

You're assuming the writers aren't idiots anyways

[storm jungle]

LMAO

Mindlink

[arctic talon]

Void shields last until the plot requires them to break

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

Then the heirophant mauls you to death

[opaque coyote]

Etherals

[arctic talon]

💀

[storm jungle]

how do you think every Imperator in a book explodes

or dies horribly

💀

[pulsar stump]

If the Writer is being an idiot, I'm discarding their opinion on the matter and inserting pre-established lore in place of that opinion.

[storm jungle]

Doesnt matter.

they write for BL, you dont

its canon

[pulsar stump]

Some of them shouldn't be allowed to read.
Let alone write.

[arctic talon]

Imperators are the avatar of khaine/Swarmlord of the imperium

lol

[storm jungle]

Real.

[arctic talon]

They die to show how awesome/dangerous someone else is

[storm jungle]

Me seeing the humble pack of 5 Shadowswords aiming at me

[arctic talon]

Every imperator dies when it shows up

lol

Every single one

Dies in the first book it’s in

[crystal forum]

i thought they were big titans

[arctic talon]

This isn’t an exaggeration

[opaque coyote]

Tbf some mistakes are literally because either the writers wrote it while they were unfamiliar with 40k.

Or they were on a tight deadline and threw their hands up

[storm jungle]

No they are like

[opaque coyote]

"fuck it"

[storm jungle]

very small

[arctic talon]

I meant in terms of them dying

lol

[storm jungle]

about car sized

[arctic talon]

The miniature if scaled

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[crystal forum]

you're car sized

[arctic talon]

Would in theory be like

[pulsar stump]

Or some combination of all three.

[arctic talon]

Baby sized at titanicus scale

lol

[storm jungle]

This is very much not the case

some of the best writers in 40k just write stuff like that because at the end of teh day it really doesnt matter

[storm jungle]

they are here to write a story they like and get a paycheck

[storm jungle]

Nope.

[opaque coyote]

So the deadline part

[storm jungle]

anyway

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

Eh no

deadline is more obvious

[pulsar stump]

Eh, yes.

[storm jungle]

See that one guardsman sniper book

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

Nah, sorry

[arctic talon]

That ending sucked ass

[storm jungle]

It did lmao

[arctic talon]

Long shot is like

[crystal forum]

kingmaker!

[arctic talon]

Truly one of the books that’s good for 99% of it

[opaque coyote]

...what happened

[arctic talon]

Kingmakers ending is fine

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

thats... not guardsman

[arctic talon]

If slightly rushed

[storm jungle]

Kingmaker is great yeah

ironically a happy ending too lol

[pulsar stump]

@storm jungle I sentence you to 10 minutes of reading a C.S. Goto novel.

[arctic talon]

It goes a bit fast but whatever

I like it

[storm jungle]

I have read all his books

[arctic talon]

Same

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

It’s regrettable

lol

[storm jungle]

I mean

[crystal forum]

the sheer commitment

[arctic talon]

I do not recommend doing it for the bit

[storm jungle]

the man was fired over arguing over fanmail

[arctic talon]

But it does make you appreciate other books more

[storm jungle]

so

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

entire reason why I also 100% Achievement'd DOW3

because people ware like

"no no its not that bad-"

no

it is that bad

[arctic talon]

It’s bad

[storm jungle]

just shut up

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah LMFAO

[opaque coyote]

"After going through a minefield, I now appreciate being able to walk."

[arctic talon]

Turning the Eldar into Protoss gameplay wise is a choice

[pulsar stump]

Dawn of War 3 didn't happen.
All we got was a Dota/League clone.

[arctic talon]

Curse of guardian with shields

It’s Dawn of war 3

Whether you like it or not

(I don’t)

[storm jungle]

Thats life....

https://tenor.com/view/joker-thatslife-life-joaquin-phoenix-gif-24013420

[arctic talon]

But it’s what we got lmao

[opaque coyote]

I think a lot of early 40k video games are kinda just shittier clones of other games.

[pulsar stump]

They're finally making a 3rd Dawn of War and I have mixed feelings about it.

Because it's the Iron Harvest devs making it.

[arctic talon]

Anyways eldar guardians with energy shields made me feel like i was having a stroke

lol

[opaque coyote]

And also a couple newer ones

[arctic talon]

It’s quiet

[storm jungle]

anyway I cant wait for DoW4 also probably be bad

||UAARAGGGHGGHGH||

[arctic talon]

Oh hey that’s from an Ad in 2077

lol

I think DOW4 will be mediocre at worst

Like how iron harvest was mediocre lol

[storm jungle]

Hopefully, just please dont be bad.

[arctic talon]

Maybe it’ll be good

[storm jungle]

DOW3 was so bad the devs abandoned it in like three months

[pulsar stump]

That actually reminds me about something.

The Hoodweebs think Adam Smasher could win a 1v1 against Frank Horrigan.

[arctic talon]

Idrc because my eyes are on mechanicus 2

[opaque coyote]

He actually is just from the 102th Deaf Regiment from the planet Tinnitus

[arctic talon]

Tabletop smasher from 2020

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Or the bitch in 2077

lol

[pulsar stump]

Both.

[storm jungle]

Adam on tabletop is like extremely OP

space marine tier threat too

[opaque coyote]

Seriously Fire Warrior is one of those games that is dogshit.

But I genuinely wish got a remake because the idea is a banger.

[arctic talon]

Because 2020 smasher eats RPG rounds for breakfast

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

and is meant to be a TPK

[pulsar stump]

It's dogshit and I love it.

[storm jungle]

wasnt the rule if you face him is like "You all die" lmao

[arctic talon]

No

He’s meant to kill everyone though lmao

[storm jungle]

THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

[pulsar stump]

No, you can do some bullshit with a Kerenzikov and a movement aug to stunlock him to death.

[arctic talon]

His statblock is designed to one shot pretty much anyone that isn’t a full borg

[storm jungle]

yeah thats gameplay =/= lore though

[arctic talon]

That’s for 2077

[storm jungle]

^

[pulsar stump]

It is for 2020

[arctic talon]

And 2077 smasher in gameplay is pathetic

[storm jungle]

Nope

[pulsar stump]

You're obviously new to this.

[storm jungle]

Im very much not.

Nobody is talking gameplay 💀

[opaque coyote]

As somebody who uh

LEGALLY obtained it

It legit feels awful to shoot in that game.

You can't say it isn't lore accurate. Especially since the melee literally does pitiful damage

[pulsar stump]

The lasgun having better DPS than the Pulse rifle feels uncanny in a bad way.

[arctic talon]

they should give smashers sheet in cyberpunk red the Cain treatment

yes I know Cain's statblock isn't actually real

[storm jungle]

Lmfao

[opaque coyote]

There is some cool ideas and the book is actually a pretty good read

[arctic talon]

its a fucking meme

but its funny

[storm jungle]

tbh its still accurate

like

you cannot do anything to him

lol

He literally cannot die until God wills it

which he never will

because he wants Cain to suffer

[arctic talon]

Sire: God

[storm jungle]

There it is LMAO

Chronicle: Yours

💀

[arctic talon]

If only it was real

LOL

[opaque coyote]

He got better but yeah.

[pulsar stump]

I would like to remind you that a certain Black Hand was able to beat the brakes off of Adam in a stand-up fight.

[arctic talon]

anyways Smasher is designed to be a TPK unless you cheese him, which reflects how he is in lore

Blackhand is built different

he isn't part of the equation

[storm jungle]

^

[opaque coyote]

"Weaknesses: Horrible Parenting skills."

Is this just the Emperor's character sheet?

[pulsar stump]

And cheese I have.
3 times as a matter of fact.

It's a Turn-Based game.

[storm jungle]

we arent talking gameplay

again

[pulsar stump]

I am based so I will take all the turns.

[arctic talon]

I don't run 2020, I run Red

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Well

I ran like

1 campaign of 2020

[storm jungle]

I ran a few with my friend

[pulsar stump]

[storm jungle]

"dreadmill" lmfao

god damn it

[crystal forum]

[arctic talon]

I can't

unfortunately

LOL

[storm jungle]

no Forest Gump episode for this sucker

[arctic talon]

but I try to run 2-3 miles outside every week

[vagrant fox]

I knew a guy called einar who ran marathons for fun and he was freaky so all runners are freaky

[arctic talon]

to help break up the monotony of my workouts

Marathon runners are freaks

[opaque coyote]

I haven't found a good opportunity to use this so I will just post it anyways with zero context

[arctic talon]

I know 3

they're all insane

[storm jungle]

Theres no escape

That is low-key a good Absolute Batman costume

[storm jungle]

the Bane one fucked SO hard

[pulsar stump]

There's nothing "Low-Key" about it.

[storm jungle]

Love the massive fucking tits on him btw

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, I just find it funny that Absolute Batman is probably tortured because Darkseid remembers Final Crisis where he got fucking shot

[crystal forum]

weirdo

[storm jungle]

okay gayjay

[storm jungle]

Darkseid is that petty too

[vagrant fox]

He doesn't like bara bara mantitties laugh at him

[opaque coyote]

Also remember in Super Friends when Darkseid lusted after Wonder Woman for

[storm jungle]

YEET

[opaque coyote]

No reason

...and now consider how Absolute Wonder Woman actually had a decent childhood

[storm jungle]

Remember how he directly shot omega-beams at superman

[opaque coyote]

Bro got favored

[storm jungle]

then instantly diverted them from the side

and vaporized one of his closest friends

and left

💀

[pulsar stump]

Remember when Batman completely invalidated the existence of Omega Beams by simply moving crazy.

[opaque coyote]

Bro was probably laughing to himself all the fucking way

[storm jungle]

Average batman plot armor moment

tibetan monk ahhh

[pulsar stump]

That's the event that made Darkseid curse Absolute Batman with his shitty life.

[storm jungle]

He actually said a hilarious thing to him a few episodes later as Superman was beating him

[opaque coyote]

Tbf he used some poor Parademon as a shield

[storm jungle]

ALSO WHOOPS

BANE SLIP

also me when i get you

[arctic talon]

Absolute Batman with chicken and brown rice as his super power

[crystal forum]

kinky

[storm jungle]

anyway it was something like "If I knew killing one human would upset you this much, id have done to millions more."

[opaque coyote]

Bane added veggies to his rice

[arctic talon]

Is absolute Batman venomed up now

[opaque coyote]

eat your veggies kids

[arctic talon]

He is right

[storm jungle]

he is yeah

he'll prob get rid of it later

[arctic talon]

He needs that shit

lol

[pulsar stump]

He eats his Spinach.

[arctic talon]

Ngl

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah and then decided to brainwash superman to think that he was always Darkseid's adoptive son.

[storm jungle]

the neon fluid crack spinach

[arctic talon]

Why didn’t Bruce’s mom say my son is 6’9 and 400 pounds

He’s got to be on roids

[pulsar stump]

I find it funny in a cosmic sort of way that all VS debates will eventually boil down to "Is Kirby Pissed and has Popeye eaten his Spinach"

[arctic talon]

There’s no way he’s natty

[storm jungle]

It reaches a point where the fish tank eventually only gets to the characters that literally cannot be defeated yeah

its like One Punch Man lol

his entire joke is he cannot lose and is depressed over it

but thats just one example really

[pulsar stump]

Caped Baldy is the Penultimate boss of Versus debates before you bring out The Sailor and Cheeky Piece of Gum.

i like that dempsey's voice actor was the guy doing generic soldier voices

[storm jungle]

thats because hes Steve Blum

he has like

THOUSANDS of generic soldier tough guy roles

[crystal forum]

oh i didnt know it was him

[storm jungle]

yep lol

[crystal forum]

i just know he had no big role in the series before

[opaque coyote]

I hate and love the fact that JFK basically speaks exclusively in motivational quotes and one liners

[crystal forum]

which is perfect since dempsey is generic american

[pulsar stump]

And he did it because he was trying to kill himself, to stop him from killing himself, because he killed himself.

[storm jungle]

god

I hate zombies lore

MAKE THE NOISES STOP

[crystal forum]

it really did not need a whole eldritch element

[pulsar stump]

CoD Zombies lore is just an ordinary day in the Ordos Chronos.

[crystal forum]

the fucking shadow man

i remember when my cousin was trying to explain to me the plot of bo3 zombies

[storm jungle]

Ordo Chronos is more timeloops/anomalies

[crystal forum]

and i could not get over that the main antagonist was called the fucking shadow man

[storm jungle]

also everyone read The Pharisene Paradox

NOW.

[daring creek]

I can't reed

[crystal forum]

did a 6 year old write this

[storm jungle]

[pulsar stump]

Anti-Dimensional Hyperwar against Tzeentch.

[crystal forum]

it sucks since origins was such a good ending for bo2

[storm jungle]

Yeah more fitting

because uh-

[storm jungle]

well thats literally what happens

[crystal forum]

then they had to go around killing all the original characters

[storm jungle]

Actual gold.

[crystal forum]

then they brought them back

[pulsar stump]

The Ordos Chronos are the most overworked, underappreciated band of merry bastards through out all of the 26 parallel, intersecting timelines of Rogue Trader.

[crystal forum]

then everything gets a little fuzzy because of the drinking

but bo5 happens

[pulsar stump]

Because every time your Party's psyker creates a new timeline they have the job of either merging it with one of the main ones, or ending it entirely.

[opaque coyote]

Like I said

Potential Man memes are the fucking best

[nocturne crest]

I wonder which 7 Chapters they think were more interesting than IF.

[pulsar stump]

Aurora Chapter.

And they're not even Fists.

[crystal forum]

black templars and crimson fists ofc

[pulsar stump]

And let us not forget the Fists Exemplar.

[opaque coyote]

(the black Templars = 6 chapters)

[crystal forum]

pretty much

i thought it was accepted fact that the next powerful species will be cockroach-men smh

[opaque coyote]

This is why squids are the superior Cephalopod

[pulsar stump]

I've seen an octopus dismantle a water filter and throw it at a child.

[opaque coyote]

Based

[pulsar stump]

No, Squids are morons.
It's Cuttlefish you're thinking of.

[nocturne crest]

Based.

[pulsar stump]

Octopuses and Orangutangs are reportedly the two most difficult creatures to contain.

Simply because they're smart enough to figure out how to take anything apart and use it as a means of escape.

[nocturne crest]

Maybe. But have you heard about the honey badger?

[opaque coyote]

Now I'm thinking of a meme puzzle game where you try to escape as an octopus

[daring creek]

That explains a lot

[pulsar stump]

It's very simple.
Put a roof over their enclosure.

This, however, will not stop an Orangutang and is actually going to make their escape even easier.

[nocturne crest]

I see.

Praise Stoffel.

[pulsar stump]

It would not surprise me in the slightest for it to be revealed that they're literally just Uplifted Orangutangs that don't speak High Gothic simply because they don't want to pay taxes.

[daring creek]

Lmfao

Apparently they got laser rings

[pulsar stump]

They do, yes.

[daring creek]

I could swear a rogue trader used this in eisenhorn

[crystal forum]

digital weapons

[pulsar stump]

Digital Weapons have been around longer than you've been alive.

And they've been a meme for just as long.

[sacred ginkgo]

The kids book where a Jokaero builds a sonic weapon capable of disrupting Deathmark teleportation

[daring creek]

But 40k is in the future so I'm older objectively

[crystal forum]

dont let tau get hold of a jokaero

[daring creek]

Xenos together stronk

[pulsar stump]

The tau can barely comprehend Grav Weaponry.
I doubt they'll be able to make heads or tails of the insane things made by the Apes.

[daring creek]

They'll probably cooperate tho

[pulsar stump]

They can try.

But the odds are they'll spook the Jokaero in the attempt, provoking the apes into turning off a small region of space.

[nocturne crest]

Okay, if they got laser rings, then they probably have laser belt buckles.

[crystal forum]

wanna guess why they're called digital weapons

[nocturne crest]

They fire Internet gas?

[pulsar stump]

They have a Pimp-Hand full of Laser, Plasma, Melta, Grav, [unknown] & Volkite rings.

[nocturne crest]

Where is the bolter ring.

[crystal forum]

you put them on your digits

like fingers

toes

[nocturne crest]

Huh.

[crystal forum]

yes it is very stupid

so you only have 11 places to equip a digital weapon

[nocturne crest]

For some reason, that answer just reminded me of a robot chicken sketch about Green Lantern.

[nocturne crest]

What about something like a nose ring?

[crystal forum]

i dont think a nose is a digit

but im sure it could work with 40k logic

i was just making a dick joke

[pulsar stump]

They can fit like 15 on each hand.

And for some reason they can manipulate the length of their finger bones.

[opaque coyote]

Green lantern rings ahh

[nocturne crest]

That's how they end the sketch too.

[rose thorn]

Did I steal the wheel meme from here or another server

[nocturne crest]

Are digital weapons like super rare?

[pulsar stump]

Yes and No.
