[near wasp]

Lol

I should stop talking before dilara throws Ross at me

[storm jungle]

lmao id never

do wanna see more of him though

alas i aint no Black Spiral stan

[near wasp]

"he's nothing now, the earth will choke on him"

[storm jungle]

god literally was thinking on that line

wish i could go to cryo-sleep and wake up for new episodes 💀

[near wasp]

Fucking same

[storm jungle]

[near wasp]

Anyways I'ma start rewatching htp again

[nocturne crest]

Just go into a coma.

[near wasp]

For like the tenth time

Comas are expensive

[storm jungle]

Yeah bruh whos gonna take care of me for 5 years???

[nocturne crest]

Good point.

I was going to say NHS, but, might not be an option.

Also, from my understanding based on the new article for white scars new character, the White Scars don't have an active 1st captain or chapter master anymore?

[storm jungle]

wait they dont? Damn lol

[near wasp]

Tragic anyways

I forgot how fucking sad the a life well lived episode is

"shine on" literally cracked my soul

[storm jungle]

It does a good job of showing much of a shitty life vampirism is

And hers had just started

[proven needle]

The chapter master relays instructions to the 1st captain. Kinda like Grendyl and Rannick 😆

[vagrant fox]

that's me fave that's the best one no exceptions

[near wasp]

My favorite is the probing of kevin

[vital ginkgo]

Are all primaris marines equipped with mark x armor or do some still use the older variations?

[storm jungle]

all use Mark X

older armor pieces are generally add-ons, the core armor remains X

[vital ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[storm jungle]

🫡

[vagrant fox]

or do they

[winged jacinth]

They're literally too large for older mks afaik

Primaris are like an extra foot tall so none of the relic armor fits lol

When you see unarmored titus right after the rubicon in sm2 he looks so goofy

[daring creek]

Akira wasn't that good

[near wasp]

@storm jungle I just realized Kevin might be a kind of stand in for malcador

[storm jungle]

Thats not a far assumption actually, huh

[storm jungle]

Nah that isnt the case

as per SM2, GW actually stops sabre from using armor variants that arent "lore accurate" with the Mark X

so we very much know they can user older armor pieces since you can put em on in the game

(yes this is asinine but its whats said lol)

[winged jacinth]

Thats... technically a chain of confirmation yeah lol

[rocky gale]

and on the models they sell you can get new firstborn helmets in primaris kits and the intercessors kit has one of the old fashioned studded shoulder pads in it

[near wasp]

Gw always controls stuff like that

[winged jacinth]

Idk how it would work
Put it it the ceramite stretcher

Only relics from the tallest marines can still be used

[shadow plover]

Which really doesn't make sense because we know older marks can be retrofitted on primaris gear

[vagrant fox]

Yea that was a good htp episode

[near wasp]

Yes it was

[storm jungle]

Trust me, the GW "checkup" routine goes deep, I say this as a once-tester

again NDA and all that shit though

its why I always remind people the "no shirtless cosmetics" incident, thats like an inkling of how stupid the GW lorecheck guys are

[shadow plover]

I mean I don't doubt that they do but the fact that we know the armour can be retrofitted to MK X makes it weird that they'd disallow it

[storm jungle]

Thats what im talking about

[near wasp]

You should see when that expires

[storm jungle]

what you refer to as "weird" has even worse examples lol

[storm jungle]

Beats me tbh, i quit testing since im just way too busy to play dorktide for the last few months so i was just kinda occupying space mostly

https://tenor.com/view/cat-work-in-progress-progress-gif-6698056592000242882

[near wasp]

I mean you should probably have a copy of the contract somewhere

And if you don't damn

[storm jungle]

yeah i didnt save that email rip

[near wasp]

Oof

[vagrant fox]

It's a little puzzling, you get bits and one of pieces but you can't get the whole set for some reason

[surreal nest]

Its MY decades of detailed armor to sit on and do nothing with

[rocky gale]

GW legal contract, so probably expires in 160 years

[near wasp]

Probably

Tbh I don't know when my NDA expires

[outer wave]

I leak info on my deathbed and GW lawyers break through the windows to kill me

[rocky gale]

They resuscitate you and place you on life support so that the can sue you

[outer wave]

LMAO

I willed all my money to my family and friends, so they make me a wage slave for the next 200 years to pay it all off

[storm jungle]

NDAs are always made in a way that by the time they expire anytihng you say will be generally meaningless

[near wasp]

Yeah usually

[storm jungle]

[near wasp]

But I work at a security company so I know a lot of stuff and I bet my NDA is like 20 years or something

[storm jungle]

yeee

[crystal forum]

i had to sign NDA's for every company i worked for

tech industry just does that

though im pretty sure pretty much all engineering related companies do it

it's mostly about not revealing internal company information

[arctic talon]

Pretty much any tech company that does something remotely proprietary has that lol

[crystal forum]

and technology

yeah even if the tech itself isn't that special

[surreal nest]

all companies that require an NDA have super villain things going on in the background and I will not ever think the opposite

[crystal forum]

it's just standard legal stuff

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure I signed an NDA for my company

But like who cares

[surreal nest]

ok luthercorp

[crystal forum]

it's mostly there just to scare you i bet

that's the impression i got

[rocky gale]

I think it's a thing to reasure customers tbh

Because we test their products and give them the results, so it's to say to them "Don't worry we won't tell anyone else"

[crystal forum]

i have never been in a position where i had access to enough vital information that i could just verbally sell to another company so the contracts were meaningless

and if i were to take information on like a hard drive then that's intellectual theft which is not NDA related

[rocky gale]

For us it's like test results, so if we're testing a sample for one company, we can't then tell their rival company that their sample was 3x over the legal limit on something etc

[wintry cloud]

in eisenhorns book (legit like 5 minutes in) he starts talking about "custodians" clearly not the adeptus custodes but like who are these guys?

[rocky gale]

Janitors

[crystal forum]

yeah that makes sense

[rocky gale]

We also have disclose if we have any family or financial relation to any such companies.

[celest dome]

I think in the case of that book it is more about "Care taker" than Janitor

iirc

[crystal forum]

i know that some engineers actually have to sign non compete agreements where they can't even work somewhere else in the same industry because they hold so much knowledge about a specific company process

but that's definitely way higher level than me

[surreal nest]

I hate how much you have to treat customers like fucking babies and pat them on the ass

[surreal nest]

like yes gerald the receptionist with piercings is a threat we will get rid of her

[dry epoch]

NDAs make you feel like you’re part of some greater conspiracy. I always enjoy the moment I’m allowed to talk about stuff!

[rocky gale]

Our customers are companies rather than people, so like it's not to that level.

[dry epoch]

My favourite NDA was the one I signed on Marvel letterhead, it was SO EXCITING.

[surreal nest]

I've heard thats even worse but ive not experienced that thankfully

[crystal forum]

i can attest that companies can be terrible customers

[rocky gale]

and our department never has to interact with them, so not my problem

[crystal forum]

northrop grumman sucks

[rocky gale]

That is either Marketing, reception or the Office staff, I'm just a lab rat

[surreal nest]

i am never leaving healthcare I think I would start screaming if I had to deal with company relations

[crystal forum]

i had to deal with it second hand

the senior engineers got the orders from the NGC engineers

who set the requirements since they're the customers

and i had to deal with the shitty constant changing of requirements

because defense contractors love doing that

[rocky gale]

I only have to deal with customers when they walk past the sign which says "Chemical Lab: Staff Only, hazardous tests in progress do not enter" while looking for Reception. (Reception has a sign saying Reception on it)

[crystal forum]

once i was working on the 3d printers in the lab and one of the managers i recognized walked in talking to a bunch of asians i didn't know at all

so i started pretending to be working on something important

i learned after that those people were south korean military officials

[surreal nest]

I've had to stop like 7 people a day from walking THROUGH an employee area, into an EMPLOYEE ELEVATOR, into the morgue

like what the fuck

[crystal forum]

i think the south korean minister of defense or whatever was also there lol

[surreal nest]

@spring cairn What rank are you after the rank changes

[rocky gale]

My only major annoyance from customers was when one of them sent a sample in for SO2 testing, turns out there were chemicals in the sample which reacted with the phosphoric acid used in the test which made and then flooded the entire lab with Chlorine gas.

[crystal forum]

see this is why i can't do chemistry

[surreal nest]

Me when incomptency just caused terrorism

[celest dome]

I once was questioned by a customer of a client about how the medical procedure they were going to have was going to go.
While wearing technician work clothes, which did not look like doctor or nurses clothes

[rocky gale]

In my defence I did say "I don't think we should test this" before testing it and even said "I think this is going to have a negative reaction when tested" and was told to test it anyway. So it's not my fault.

[crystal forum]

were you told to by senior chemists

[rocky gale]

Yep by Head of the department

[crystal forum]

classic

i started wearing respirators when 3d printing because i read up the safety information and was told to stop by the health and safety person because it was making people feel uncomfortable in the office

[near wasp]

For your star Lord book I assume

[crystal forum]

i'd be more scared of violating a disney NDA than a defense contractor's NDA

[celest dome]

Fair

[near wasp]

Unless it's Boeing

[crystal forum]

boeing will have you killed just for filing a complaint

no NDA required

[rocky gale]

Go Silence Suzuka, build speed and level her special ability. Never lose.

[arctic talon]

she's not that bad

the way she acts makes me feel uncomfortable tho

[rocky gale]

Pair her with legacies that give her abilities that allow her to speed up when someone is going to overtake and just never lose

[young pecan]

She just doesn't perform at all ever for me

[arctic talon]

Frontrunner == Big stamina requirements

[young pecan]

Triple double rings, number one favorite, sixth place

[arctic talon]

if you're entering her in Longs

[young pecan]

Or 17th a couple of times

[arctic talon]

her unique skill is bad

like, its prolly the worst out of all the frontrunner uniques

she sucks to train if you don't have good stamina options

you need 600+

[young pecan]

She constantly mood downs, constantly sleep deprived+night owls, keeps proccing night owl energy events, keeps horrifically underperforming to the point where I need to do like fucking five races for the amount of fans that two should have sufficed for

[rocky gale]

Does it upgrade to a decent version at lvl 3 atleast?

[arctic talon]

Well Mood down/sleep deprived +nightowl is just RNG dif

[young pecan]

And she's not even likable on top of all of that

[arctic talon]

Its better at level 3 but its requirements are awkward

[young pecan]

People shit on Rice Shower as the black lamb but Mayano's the real evil

[young pecan]

For sure but atp it feels personal

[arctic talon]

RNG hell

[young pecan]

Even her support cards keep scattering to avoid her

[arctic talon]

"Increase ability to break out of the pack on the straight after engaging in a challenge toward the front on the final corner."

[young pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-funny-reaction-meme-stan-twt-horse-gif-5445268815333743861

[young pecan]

The predicament is that I had a cracked Air Groove run, but Air Groove is one of my sprinters because she's easy to sprint with, but the new Air Groove didn't get sprint legacies, so now I need another sprint stand-in to put her on my team

Mayano can be forced to make her aptitudes better for sprint, I'm not even trying to build her for sprint outside of aptitudes, I just want someone in that slot who doesn't suck so the new Air Groove can be used

[spring cairn]

i'm reading this blasted

[young pecan]

I think that's the best way to read this tbh

[spring cairn]

i think he's talking about shoes

[lament shoal]

I've been struggling so much to complete a gold ship career 😭

[arctic talon]

Uma musume is pretty much just a sport manager game disguised as anime honse gacha

[young pecan]

Gold Ship gave me a little resistance but not a lot

[arctic talon]

as like

idk

Gold ship is just hoping you don't get training locked at the worst time possible lol

[spring cairn]

oh it's the gacha horse game

-10

[arctic talon]

yes

[lament shoal]

Mobile horse gambling

[arctic talon]

lol

tbf it is gambling

like all sports managment games

[lament shoal]

Umamusume really brought the gambling and weeb communities together

[young pecan]

Love the gambling

[outer wave]

Y'all be playing Horse game, meanwhile Im playing Ass game (Nikke)

[young pecan]

I just don't like when it uses two days' worth of tp plus two tp supplements on abysmal dogshit over and over

[arctic talon]

I'd just take a break

and go lose in the cancer cup

[lament shoal]

Crazy how an entire generation (myself included) was psyoped into liking horse racing because of cute anime characters

[young pecan]

It almost feels like Mayano has meta awareness that I don't really care how she turns out as long as she turns out at all

So she is scraping my balls against sandpaper

Over and over

[outer wave]

The Japanese are best at making people fall in love with morally ambiguous stuff like gambling

[spring cairn]

Toxoplasmosis

[lament shoal]

I finally completed a haru career the other day with the good ending and I was so proud

[rocky gale]

Your first Good ending is such a peak moment

[young pecan]

Vodka was my favorite and she just happened to be the first I won with

[outer wave]

I should continue watching that Umamusame anime

[rocky gale]

It annoys me to no end that I can never get a Good end with Biwa, I've tried so many times and just keep letting her down

[lament shoal]

Look at her go 😭

[young pecan]

Tough to say whether her or Fukukitaru is my favorite though

she's a horse

Chudposting Dilara

[storm jungle]

Real.

[arctic talon]

this is what makes me think its a joke

but also I don't watch flashgitz

so what do I know

[storm jungle]

they are literally riffing on femtodes

[crystal forum]

god i hope that dying industry doesn't get revived

[outer wave]

I wouldnt be surprised if it started out as a joke, but the people that gathered around made it into an echochamber of sorts

[storm jungle]

so i dont really see it

[arctic talon]

idk then

[storm jungle]

Uhh I got bad news

[spring cairn]

dilara has always been the number 1 ranked chud worldwide

[arctic talon]

I don't watch their stuff

lol

[storm jungle]

people are already using that one "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" thing in unhinged warhammer posts

[vagrant fox]

flashgitz

[storm jungle]

remember that guy who was like "no women should be allowed to be in warhammer"

[outer wave]

Oh I realize, but I meant more on the creator's side of things

[spring cairn]

i'm bf6'sing rn and people are already losing their shit cuz you can't choose the gender of ur class

[storm jungle]

they even added the "You're not canon." line

[outer wave]

They probably meant it as a joke, but the fanbase may have created an echochamber

Bruh

You know

[arctic talon]

does it fucking matter lol

[lament shoal]

Thats how I view it

[arctic talon]

genuinely

💀

[outer wave]

If it leads to people like them leaving 40k, I dont care

They can go jerk off to Space King's men or whatever

[lament shoal]

I honestly like space king and I've never interacted with its fanbase so

[spring cairn]

everytime they try to justify why they say that"the female voiceactor's voice bothers me", sure

sure it's just the VA

sure

[arctic talon]

yeah and I hated how half the voices sounded in BF1

LOL

I just dealt with it

[lament shoal]

Oh yeah I'm aware of this lmao

[storm jungle]

😩

[lament shoal]

Hence why I don't interact with them

[outer wave]

Wait, you didnt shit and piss yourself online and went on a rambly tirade against women and their detrimental effect on society?

I cannot believe it

[lament shoal]

Love the animations tho

Their merch is cool too

[outer wave]

I just think Space King is cringe

[arctic talon]

I mean BF1 only had male voices till like the Russian thing I think

idk

anyways half the voices annoyed me but whatever

[crystal forum]

i did a deep dive on flashgitz creators socials and i couldn't find anything more than average chud level

[arctic talon]

its a fucking battlefield game

LOL

[outer wave]

Fair fair

[arctic talon]

Flashgitz are like a mix of ironic and actual standpoints

[outer wave]

Define average here?

[crystal forum]

i don't think they're ironic at all

[arctic talon]

idrc

I simply do not interact with anything they make lol

[lament shoal]

We got fucking James Doakes over here investigating the Bay Harbor Chud

[storm jungle]

I mean you dont have to, their effect spreads to this fandom

[languid meadow]

flashgitz is just annoying and on the edge of full blown chuddo

[storm jungle]

^

[languid meadow]

their bluey freakout was super childish

[storm jungle]

this relaly isnt that hard to get

they just do a good job of hiding their stuff under humor

90% of their fanbase are chuds too

lol

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

not outright racist but they hang around with a couple alt right people 100%

[storm jungle]

100% yeah

[lament shoal]

Yup

[storm jungle]

they likely just see racism and go "Eh who cares" which is lol

[outer wave]

Again, if this leads to a legit rift where alt right fellows go over and make their own 40k and stop bothering other people, I dont care until they do some really fucked up shit

[outer wave]

I see I see

[storm jungle]

they're 100% transphobic though i bet my ass on it lol

also still stuck i nthat 2010 era where everthing is "gay = bad"

[crystal forum]

that goes with being british

[languid meadow]

my meds kicked in

holyfuck

[lament shoal]

Did your friends disappear

[outer wave]

The more things go on like this, the more it feels like everyone's reverting to a child

[storm jungle]

Accurate

[outer wave]

Like dudes, grow up

[storm jungle]

anyway they basically make space king prosper because they appeal to things that alienate 40k fans

like hatemonger literally murdering a "female space marine" and saying "you are not canon"

$$$$

[crystal forum]

and ofc using the older space marine design

[storm jungle]

Also how girls apparently ruin hobbies because companies cater to them

[languid meadow]

the only joke I liked despite not even watching it was hatemonger just being a big child

asking high command like how a kid asks a parent for something

[outer wave]

Im pretty sure all the space marines in that show are just big children tbf

Legit, they just have space marine balls inserted in

[crystal forum]

it's just millenial chud fantasy fiction

[outer wave]

Its very weird

[crystal forum]

yeah the ball changing was a weird sequence lol

[storm jungle]

^

[outer wave]

Space King looks like something I would've maybe watched as a kid or a teen and the vibe fits to that time to a T

[crystal forum]

that's exactly what it is

[storm jungle]

tbh the entire reaosn it exists is because Flash got caught selling 40k merch lol

and like, got extremely mad at it

[outer wave]

What a baby

[near wasp]

They are child soldiers I try not to think too deep into it it's just kinda a dumb thing to turn off the brain

[storm jungle]

Accurate.

[outer wave]

True

[storm jungle]

You do, most people dont

like, these things literally advocate everything wrong with more public 40k fans

i dont really care for it but its unfortunate lol

[crystal forum]

anyways the biggest sin is i find none of it funny

[outer wave]

True!!

Its nicely animated at least from what I saw

[crystal forum]

and the moment it got to big tiddies i just turned it off

[storm jungle]

Name checks out

[lament shoal]

I think that's part of the reason why I like it, its got that nostalgic feel for me. Also the characters being manchildren both literally and figuratively is funny lmao

[near wasp]

Ok hate monger

[outer wave]

"Hahahaha, big tiddy tyranid mommy, hahahahhahaha! Bi--Big milkies, hahahahhaha!! Sucky sucky!!"

[lament shoal]

Idk I just like stupid humor

[outer wave]

No thats fair

[crystal forum]

i like stupid humor too

[outer wave]

^

[crystal forum]

this just isn't humor

it's all jokes you'd hear a million times like 20 years ago

[surreal nest]

See the problem is outlandish drooling humor can be humor unless your actual worldviews are aligned with your average joke

then like

[near wasp]

As if 40k fans aren't famous for using the same 4 jokes for twenty years

[languid meadow]

Just saying the word boobs is funnier than that

[arctic talon]

20 years might be an understatement

[lament shoal]

Just spamming "heresy" in every comment section

[surreal nest]

its like someone who jokes about "haha dont let me get my keys after I have a beer!" and you are like haha ok man but then they reveal to you they have 3 past DUIS and you're like why man

[arctic talon]

some of these jokes are from the fucking mezezoic era

[storm jungle]

I really do not trust flashgits to be like that tbh.

They are very much either legit chuds or use chuds/humor akin to it to make money. Both are not exactly helpful in any capacity lol

[surreal nest]

No im saying they are just chuds and their jokes dont work because they have those opinions irl

[storm jungle]

also continously provides munition to the grognards in this fandom

which is even worse

[crystal forum]

the post ironic age has people thinking cringe humor has to be intentional

[outer wave]

Im just gonna continue liking that artist that does the maid marines and magical girl sisters of battle art

That shit goes HARD

[near wasp]

Maid knight

[outer wave]

MAID KNIGHT

TRUE!

[lament shoal]

Maid marines are funny. Makes me crave curry rice

[surreal nest]

people cant even say seperate the art from the artist because flashgitz is just a chud

[crystal forum]

also every furry 40k player used to constantly shove flashgitz in my face when i was in highschool

if furries find something funny then you failed man

[near wasp]

Ok furry

[surreal nest]

we gotta start tazing people more

Turned my engineer in drg into an arbitrator

[rocky gale]

Damn I would have started watching Downton Abbey sooner if I knew it had Tyranids in it

[celest cedar]

they still tweaking out over the female russian in BF1 too back then 💀

[arctic talon]

I forgot about that

💀

[celest cedar]

or black people in the game

like

they take issue with those

but not the totally fucking anachronistic way of doing warfare in WW1

like everything from tactics and weaponry are more akin to WW2 style of warfare than WW1

there's no such thing as combined arms warfare taking place in 1914-1915 middle east

[lament shoal]

Lets be real, most people would be bored with a game that just makes them sit in a trench for 5 hours

[rocky gale]

Everyone running around with SMG's and assault rifles during WW1 is fine, but a black person?

[lament shoal]

Thats probably why bf1 was made the was it was

[queen laurel]

The only way in hell I am staying in a position for an extended of period of time in a game is when I'm giving a machine gun

[rocky gale]

Na, the funnest thing you can do in BF1 is play with only snipers and bolt action rifles.

[lament shoal]

Or a sniper

I always liked playing the lmg dude with the ammo supports

[celest cedar]

like the combined arms warfare combat is only accurate in maps set in late war 1918 (which is why most maps in the game are set during mid to late 1918)

even then there still wont be SMGs and fucking hip carry heavy fucking machine guns running around in the battlefield 💀

[lament shoal]

Again, accuracy isn't what always makes money

That's just the unfortunate truth

[vagrant fox]

simply uh

don't play battlefield

[arctic talon]

BF1 only be bolt action on god

Also there's a bunch of prototypes in that game

that never got turned into actual guns that were used in war

[languid meadow]

the bolt action only gamemode that was popular for 2 weeks then never got played

so sad

I loved it

[celest cedar]

80+1 mag

stupidly fast RoF

💀

[rocky gale]

The joy of seeing the glint of a sniper scope across the map and then blasting their head off with an iron sight bolt action rifle

[languid meadow]

the only gun it worked for was the BAR

since that was it's intended use

hip firing while walking

[celest cedar]

BAR my beloved

[dark moon]

I wish BF1 had more long range artillery emplacements

I want to shell the enemy team from afar with a stupidly large artillery piece dangit.

[arctic talon]

not that sort of game 💀

ironically

No one wants to play an actual world war 1 game/hj

[storm jungle]

boooo

[arctic talon]

where its boredom for 90% of the time and absolute terror and horror for the remaining 10%

lol

[dark moon]

This may or may not be why I lowkey loved losing on one of the French operation maps, I got to use the big artillery for a brief minute (Before getting domed by a sniper across the map )

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think like

An "actual" WW1 game would be interesting.

Only if it was similar to like XCOM or something in gameplay

[arctic talon]

not as an FPS

tbh

[lament shoal]

I mean its not really wrong for most people to want an action focused game

[arctic talon]

I mean I never said it was wrong

I just said people don't want to play that

[opaque coyote]

True, although BF1 does capture how fun it is to bayonet a motherfucker

[rocky gale]

Field Guns are my favourite weapon in BF1

[opaque coyote]

Especially on a horse

[lament shoal]

Nah I wasn't referring to you specifically just in general

[arctic talon]

its why every RTS to exist ever makes turtling weak

[rocky gale]

I think they are the vehicle I have the most kills with

[arctic talon]

Field guns are ufnny

[vagrant fox]

verdun was good fun

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think the funniest but also most depressing part is that even on the scenes in the trenches

They don't capture how fucking loud being constantly shelled would be.

Then again, I think it's because they want the dialogue to actually be heard.

And for the audience to not get tinnitus

[dark moon]

I loved the (likely unintentional) bug where you could mess with the reload animation and fire “early” and die because of a misfire or something

[rocky gale]

I see a guy in the distance, eyeball it and then launch an anti tank shell into his chest

[languid meadow]

I've played so much BF1 that playing assault on 6 feels weird

[opaque coyote]

Like imagine hearing this shit for like 50% of the movie

https://youtu.be/we72zI7iOjk?si=taYYHAQRB9pIaT8n

[languid meadow]

I try to pull out AT instead whip out a ladder

[vagrant fox]

The most fun parts of Hell Let Loose is when you're dug in holding a position and getting constantly shelled it was so cool and cinematic and you died a lot

[opaque coyote]

"MAN THE DIALOGUE IS SO GOOD!"

"WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE ACCURATE SHELLING NOISE!!"

"WHAT??"

[dark moon]

Hearing loss is peak, wym? Lmao. My tinnitus would definitely go brrrr, however.

[surreal nest]

Verdun was pretty gas but they kept making new WW1 games and ignoring fixing their current one lmfao

[languid meadow]

still sad that beyond the wire failed

it was so fun

[opaque coyote]

I'm just surprised nobody has tried a Vietnam FPS in recent times.

I think it's mostly been like world wars, the cold war in general, or modernish

[surreal nest]

Rising storm?

[opaque coyote]

Probably because it would be controversial as fuck

[lament shoal]

Imma go watch the new hunter the parenting episode brb

[languid meadow]

rising storm

and also the people who make HLL are making a vietnam game

[opaque coyote]

2013 is not recent

[surreal nest]

2017

[opaque coyote]

[surreal nest]

Are we ok?

Brother

[opaque coyote]

Cool, I hope they don't abandon it like HLL

[surreal nest]

Rising Storm 2 Vietnam

HLL changed developers all of a sudden didn't they

TOTALLY 2019

[queen laurel]

Lovely

[opaque coyote]

Y'know I just realized that

Like during the 1980's-1990s gaming had so much slop

Then it lessened until the 2010's

And now we got so much slop, but this time heralded by companies worth more than my entire town probably

Most of gaming history is slop

It's just that we forgot most of the old ones

Why did we forget the shit games so easily before

But not now

[storm jungle]

NOOOOOOOOOO

Also ive never watched or seen anything from Solo Dickleveling

what even is it

[lament shoal]

@storm jungle watching the new hunter episode from the start, I think I missed who Togo is 😭

Who tf is togo

[storm jungle]

Nobody

thats the joke

[languid meadow]

hype moments and aura the anime

[storm jungle]

[languid meadow]

no substance

[storm jungle]

Accurate.

[storm jungle]

Basically its a play on that one trope

where a funny character appears

and one questions who is this

and everyone is like "its that guy, hes our closest friend, you forgot???"

[lament shoal]

Ah gotcha lol

[storm jungle]

and its brushed past lol

[arctic talon]

||wyrm||

[storm jungle]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

also ||the fact they're working with the wyrm is gona go horribly wrong||

[lament shoal]

Wernon Chadigue will be missed

[storm jungle]

Oh you just wait

:]

[storm jungle]

Space Slopmarines

in MY trench setting

[arctic talon]

we already had machine armor

smh

[lament shoal]

His dad was such a cool villain. Awesome way to merge the evilness of British colonialism with fantasy horror. I'm a big sucker for mediums that explain irl history in that manner

[arctic talon]

Also are these a new group of crusaders

or the same crusaders descendants

lol

[rocky gale]

They done Primarised my Trench Crusade

[arctic talon]

New antioch moment

new antioch is for people who like spesh marines

[storm jungle]

One of the top comment puts it really well, explains Philippines history really good too

[arctic talon]

Because mech armor

[storm jungle]

also Fatigue saying he left just before japan invaded the philippines as well

just fucking oof

[vital ginkgo]

Why were the thunder warriors betrayed and wiped out? Wouldn't it have been more convenient to simply stop producing them and let the remaining ones die off in the Great crusade?

[storm jungle]

They were unstable genetic monsters and psychopaths.

they were not made to conquer anywhere beyond terra

[languid meadow]

mech armour are cooler than space marines imo but that's because I like the idea of armour itself is the character and not the bearer

[queen laurel]

They are my pic because I could go for the religious maniacs with the even bigger Mech and communicants

[lament shoal]

Knowing what the Japanese did there, it hurts to think about what likely happened to his new family

[storm jungle]

^

especially after spending 20 years there

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

then coming home to the Blitz

[arctic talon]

bad things

[rocky gale]

The Emperor is a dick and wanted to cover up the fact they were a failure

[storm jungle]

yeah that too

[arctic talon]

They were meant to be disposed of

The emperor didn't want to keep them around as they were a failure

and they were designed to be disposed of after the fact

they were doomed from the start

[storm jungle]

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

@vital ginkgo

all your questions can be answered here

goes really into detail

if you are still curious you can ask anything related to it tho lol

[rocky gale]

The Emperor thinks of Thunder Warriors the same way we'd think of the plastic knife and fork you get at a food stall

You could wash them and put them in your drawer, use them until they aren't useful anymore but you won't.

[arctic talon]

the emperor sees things as 1 of 2 things

Tools
tools I like

[storm jungle]

You're a tool

[storm jungle]

So true oomfie

speaking of

[lament shoal]

Kinda bummed that filthy frank guy got banned because now I can't make fun of him anymore but ik it had to be done

[celest cedar]

i was gonna ping wardens but not sure if they like went mask off

that answers it ig

[celest cedar]

what happened to him

[lament shoal]

He got banned lol

For being an annoying asshole

[languid meadow]

the fucking mpreg

[lament shoal]

Yesterday

[sacred ginkgo]

Dude was literally capable of accepting any degree of inferiority for whatever reason

[queen laurel]

Okay look if everyone in lore chat gets reincarnated and we are forced to save a world together I am immediately bracing myself for the amount of stupid shit we will do together

[sacred ginkgo]

Pretty sure if you wanted to make him belive you are older than him you needed your ID as proof

[storm jungle]

^

he literally

could not

stop

going: "Yall are so young fr"

motherfucker im 31 shut the fuck up 💀

[queen laurel]

Oh he got obliterated

I was wondering why it was so peaceful

[storm jungle]

As if age equals wisdom or something, genuinely coudlnt stop saying how everything we say is incorrect apparently.

[sacred ginkgo]

I like how proper punctuation is consistently a red flag

[celest cedar]

figured, filthy frank guy gives off moments where he's close to saying something bigoted went I read his messages

[queen laurel]

If age equals wisdom then politicians would be actually good people

[lament shoal]

Going off what bulgur said, imagine being forced into an inquisitorial strike team with someone like that lmao

[sacred ginkgo]

No they'd just be competent at being evil

[queen laurel]

I hate how true that is you win funny centipede pokémon

[celest cedar]

Loner

[lament shoal]

Well at the very least the loner acts that way for the love of the game. This fucking guy was being dead serious about everything

Also the loner is actually likeable

[plush mason]

ngl its kinda funny to me how a fairly small myth about angels mating with humans has lead to a name with such staying power

[sacred ginkgo]

Loner also has redeeming qualities and can agree on things

[queen laurel]

SHIT @storm jungle THEY COMMITTED TO THE BIT I REPEAT THE COMMITTED TO THE BIT

https://youtu.be/pp-f--sloe8?si=ZC1_a5tOU_NuaJDn

[plush mason]

its Flashgitz

why wouldnt they?

[queen laurel]

I thought they would at least try to be sneaky with it I didn't expect to do this much pandering

[valid needle]

Frank was hating on ward and Primaris in 2025. Absolute cringe.

[plush mason]

this whole spaceking stuff was born out of their furry crusade with the black templars

so no subtly is not something they understand

[storm jungle]

My favorite trope in fiction is people like that speaking shit then this is them when they deploy to their mission:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786208719200583710/1375161407351292034/rekt.gif

[queen laurel]

That is true but you know what for you I have another spell

Garth Ennis room

[storm jungle]

Yeah posted it a bit ago

[plush mason]

huh

[sacred ginkgo]

I still love this specific gib because they become a perfect red sphere for about a frame

[queen laurel]

I hit you with a spell

But it didn't work I guesd

Better ingredients next time then

[plush mason]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8PbOgJ-MMmU?feature=share

[lament shoal]

LMAO

Also I just discovered you can be a fucking kelermorph in this game 😭

Hip firing with double stub revolvers makes your character pull out an extra pair of hands to hit the hammers on the guns lmao

[storm jungle]

Lmao reminds me of that Battlefield secret reload

where you take out a magazine

and a 3rd hand gives you a mag offscreen

💀

[celest dome]

What would the ingredients be for the Garth Ennis room, and would it not be more effective to throw the ingredients at the target

[rocky gale]

It's one of my favourite bits at the start of the Game of Thrones in the books, Waymar Royce talks a big game and puts people down like a noble jerk and you totally expect him to be a little bitch when shit hits the fan because that's the trope, but then the absolute chad witnesses the settings version of a Demon murder his friends and he just draws his sword and says "Dance with me"

[celest dome]

The colibri one where you make it disappear and then reappear is so clean

[queen laurel]

Well let's see

Tears of a racist

Hair of an incel

Bottled up hatred

And liquid muck from the sewers

[crystal forum]

we love an asshole yapper who can actually back their words

[queen laurel]

Combine it together and you got to spell that allows you to trap people in a dimensional room where their only way of gaining nutrients and living is reading stuff made by Garth Ennis

[lament shoal]

So much for Nurgle's resilience huh?

[queen laurel]

Hard to resilience a literal anti-material round going through your body

[sacred ginkgo]

Sounds like someone didn't hit the 16.667% chance

[plush mason]

ok those ingredients make me even more curious about who this Garth Ennis is, in a morbid kind of way

[queen laurel]

Oh he's a very horrible comic creator who has made some of the worst comics in mankind

[celest cedar]

yea

[queen laurel]

You know the boys

[celest cedar]

like fucking Crossed

[celest dome]

Crossed and thr Boys

[queen laurel]

Yeah he made the original comic

Yep also that one

[celest cedar]

I hate reading Crossed

[plush mason]

i see

[celest dome]

The Boys series has nothing on the comics

[storm jungle]

ironically the entire reason people loved the show as well

[plush mason]

also just wtf was the intended effect of that spell then?

[rocky gale]

Why does it always come back to Ennis

[storm jungle]

Because hes an edgelord

and a supreme one

[storm jungle]

Which spell

[queen laurel]

Trap you in a dimensional room and the only way for you to survive and live in that room is you read every comic he made

[plush mason]

the one @queen laurel tried to cast on me

[storm jungle]

lmao

tbh

go try reading any of his comics and you'll see

Its sexist, homophobic and racist as fuck

[queen laurel]

Yeah my signature spell Garth Ennis room

[plush mason]

ok tbch i likely deserve such a hell so cant complain

[storm jungle]

he very much prospered in the early days of the mid 2000's because people loved that kind of thing

now society largely sees that shit as garbage edgy nonsense

"What if zombies but they mutilate and sexually assault people"

ah yes

signs of a very normal individual

[celest dome]

Counter-comic culture is when he started to really grow

[queen laurel]

This is coming from a guy who hates superheroes for no reason by the way

He says superheroes are a dumb piece of writing when he does shit like this

[storm jungle]

^

then fell off fast

[vagrant fox]

the panel with the pink womans father talking is really funny though

[storm jungle]

Yeah but its not really meant to be funny

its meant to be "scary"

to us though its hilarious

because like wh othe fuck talks like this

lmao

[celest cedar]

or have an underaged character having sex with an adult

[surreal nest]

Garth Ennis after a character hasn't been sexually assaulted in two comics

[storm jungle]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hes a fucking scumbag

[rocky gale]

Like I'd understand Crossed a bit more, if it didn't focus so hard on the regular humans being such fucking deranged weirdos themselves

[celest cedar]

bro is too much into fucking non con 😭

lost in the fucking sauce tank

[surreal nest]

I hate the braindead easy way out of making a universe dark by including as much sexual violence as possible

[storm jungle]

Hold on

[surreal nest]

Like oooo my universe is so dark!

[queen laurel]

Superheroes are garbage he says when his comics are this

[rocky gale]

Like okay the zombies are deranged weirdos who is our protagonist in this arc? Oh a deranged rapist who murders women and tortures them to death.

Right

[storm jungle]

lemme share some anectodes of his works people consider "masterclass comics"

[celest cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-superman-smiling-superman-punk-rocker-david-corenswet-gif-18148950362455480157

[celest cedar]

I need superman to smile on me after reading that

[queen laurel]

@plush mason now you know why I cast Garth Ennis room

It's my most potent arcane weapon

[celest cedar]

supreme leader hug me

[surreal nest]

Garth Ennis might not understand what its like to be a black guy but he sure understands what its like to use that word

What a freak

[rocky gale]

The worst thing about Crossed is that there's actual interesting stories being told when Garth doesn't have a hand in it.

Any of Garth's work is so bad it's basically parodying itself

[surreal nest]

Jarvis, write a minority character but make sure to include all of the slurs I cant use without being beat up in public

[arctic talon]

@storm jungle btw whats your opinion on Matilda being a ||red talon|| for her tribe lmao

[plush mason]

its like that damn eye thing from naruto, just yeet someone into a pocket dimention of torture and suffering

i aprove

[surreal nest]

Its a miracle that the boys show has highlights

[queen laurel]

Now you get it

[storm jungle]

Wish she was a Bonegnawer

but im fine with it

[arctic talon]

Its

[storm jungle]

i really just wanna see what her tribe is up to in an audiolog

[arctic talon]

an interesting choice

[storm jungle]

Yeah exactly since it largely doesnt make too much sense

[arctic talon]

I have a feeling they're not all ||red talons|| mostly because uh

[surreal nest]

Who up gnawing on they bones

[arctic talon]

you know

[storm jungle]

im sure they'll explain it later

[arctic talon]

the whole thing they do

maybe she's a whelp lol

and thats why she's not

yknow

The other thing

and not about what every other sub group of them does

[plush mason]

what are yall talking about?

[storm jungle]

Hunter the Parenting

[plush mason]

ah

[celest dome]

I was thinking she would be a ||Forsworn||
But Big D imply that the Werewolf in Nordfolk are in a ||Beast court|| do Red Talon usually accept those ?

[arctic talon]

||sometimes, but its more rare||

||if Matilda is a whelp then it makes sense that she'd be allowed in considering they're the only group of Red Talons who aren't 100% ALL ABOARD THE GENOCIDE TRAIN||

also the fact ||she's working with a glass walker||

[plush mason]

i am still waiting for a bloodlines style rng but with werewolves not vampires, maybe the reworked lore for them will make that more of a possibility

[storm jungle]

best i can do is Skyrim

[rocky gale]

We need another Oblivion remake

[plush mason]

sadly that is still one of the best werewolf takes in an rng, and its what 13 years old now?

[queen laurel]

Well he was certainly a father all right

Been meaning to ask, a contrast paint won't be too thin for a base coat?

[rocky gale]

Depends what you mean by basecoat and depends which contrast paint

[lament shoal]

Dark angels green contrast over the armor parts which have been primed in a color like zandri dust

I'm looking to replicate this paint job on my kasrkins

[rocky gale]

In that case yea, pretty sure dark angels green has pretty good coverage but I've never worked with it myself

[lament shoal]

Ty

[rocky gale]

Some of the contrast paints can leave pretty patchy results on large areas, but from what I remember dark angels green is one of the better ones

[lament shoal]

Gotcha, ty

[rocky gale]

But I'm not a paint master like some of the others here, building is my speciality.

[arctic talon]

No

It’s a very rich green

It covers well

[lament shoal]

Got it, thank you

Hmm

Not a fan visually of mephiston red

figured out that i can just take art and tint it green

[rocky gale]

Too light but also too dull

now i jsut need a nurgle aligned city name

It’s perfect for admech robes for that reason lol

You can glaze over it with something brighter and it looks great

[opaque coyote]

Alright so

[paper trellis]

god i wanna go to warhammer world. looks like a blast

[opaque coyote]

I will talk about a topic that will likely give Dilara a seizure

So...

Yippee...

[vagrant fox]

banned

[opaque coyote]

So could it be plausible that there is like

A tiny miniscule fragment of the virtues of the concepts the Chaos Gods embody.

This is for story writing. I know this isn't canon. I get that.

Because the Chaos Gods embody all of their chosen concepts. The more morally acceptable parts must go somewhere.

Because I have thought that because the Chaos Gods are chaotic. I kinda want to make designs and write about the parts of the Chaos Gods that are more morally upright.

But they would also be tiny compared to the monolith that is... the literal rest of them. And growing weaker in power because of it. The dying remnants of their "good". So to speak.

Is this weird?

[misty vector]

I think its a neat idea to explore

[opaque coyote]

Because generally the Chaos Gods embody concepts. Including the extremes.

This also includes any virtue as a result.

It's just I can imagine that part is usually overpowered by the murder

The murder

The [++REDACTED BY ORDER OF INQUISTION++]

And the murder

[paper trellis]

i second that

[opaque coyote]

I can imagine the ""better"" parts would embody these concepts:

The "better" part of Khorne would be the embodiment of fighting for something else. Family, friends, even country. They would still be violent but unlike 99.99% of what you'd think about Khorne. They wouldn't instantly try to shred you with a chainaxe.

For Tzeentch, it would be solutions. For every puzzle, trick, and story, there is an answer. There is an ending. There is some way to solve it. After all, how else are you going to scheme eternally, if you don't take into account ways it could end? Hope for an eternal journey to finally end, and for the ability to look back and see what you have done.

For Slaanesh, it would be beauty, even somebody that is aroace can acknowledge if a person is beautiful after all. There is an aesthetic to everything, and in the eye of the beholder, each has their own sense of beauty, and therefore their own idea of perfection. One man's trash is another man's treasure after all. I can imagine them still being pretentious and snobby, but with a genuine motive and care to help and improve.

For Nurgle, relationships like friends, family, etc. etc. They help keep people stable. Ideally, even if life is turbulent, and there is too much change in the world. There is always somebody waiting to give you a hug. Somebody to keep you stable and remind you of your place. That somebody that cares about you truly exists in the vast galaxy.

These beings would be equivalent to Greater Daemons in power. They barely have an influence, for much of the universe is miserable, but it is in the nature of Chaos to be self-sabotaging, and to have an opposition. On some level, that includes themselves.

[storm jungle]

Banned.

[young pecan]

thank you for your service dilara

[vernal yacht]

How much protein does corpse starch have?

Is it similar to a can of tuna?

[near wasp]

Canned pork would be more accurate

Yes I did infact grab canned pork out of the cupboard just for this

[arctic talon]

It’s super heavily processed human meat(with cartridge and organs) and some additives

So prolly high

[storm jungle]

yeah we do know they add some stuff to the human meat

[near wasp]

It's American pork

[arctic talon]

Canned ground meat of bad quality

[near wasp]

So still probably accurate

[arctic talon]

Is prolly the best like

Calorie comparison

[near wasp]

I just mean cause additives

Also the terrible regulations

[arctic talon]

My grandma has canned pork products banned by the Taiwanese government

Due to additives in them

[near wasp]

[arctic talon]

Anyways corpse starch is likely incredibly calorie dense

Humans are quite a few calories lol

Especially since we know offal and less edible organs are used

[dire loom]

[arctic talon]

Yummers

[dire loom]

[arctic talon]

Anyways slab is likely even more comically calorie dense

Which is the more common foodstuff

And even more gross sounding tbh

[dire loom]

But does it taste good?

[arctic talon]

It tastes like almost nothing, vaguely of grox meat

lol

It’s been processed so heavily it’s basically a gray slab of solidified grox meat slurry

[dire loom]

Then it tastes like spam then.

So it's confirmed corpse starch tastes like spam therefore it tastes good.

[arctic talon]

Nah

Spam has salt

Slab has no salt

[dire loom]

That's a huge W for the Imperium IMHO

[arctic talon]

Also slab isn’t corpse starch

Slab is slab

Slab rations usually do have a “flavor” packet

[dire loom]

I almost thought it would be bad.

This is huge. Especially within a Warhammer 40k setting.

[arctic talon]

Which is usually required by most people to make it palatable

Corpse starch in universe tastes horrible

It tastes like chemicals almost, and is pretty salty

[dire loom]

Because of the memes, it seemed so much worse.

Then again some IRL military guys I know liked the MREs and some didn't. Just picky eaters are more vocal.

[arctic talon]

Slab in universe tastes pretty good after you add the flavor

[dire loom]

At least it doesn't taste like your eating rubber or a literal boot. Lol

[arctic talon]

It actually tastes like real groxmeat lol

[dire loom]

[arctic talon]

There’s other fancier rations tho

There’s also other flavors for slab

There’s an example of a ration where it’s a tinned extremely fatty meat along with peppers

[dire loom]

Sodium rich, delicious.

Much proteins

[storm jungle]

Its not even memes, it does taste like shit.

also like

Trust the Emperor's chemicals.

[storm jungle]

you cannot have a monolith type of starch

in a setting that spans the entire galaxy

lol

[arctic talon]

Yeah corpse starch actually tastes bad

From most depictions

[dire loom]

They're good for you.

[arctic talon]

Slab seems to taste

Not horrid

Most times we see it

Though the texture of slab is awful

It’s thick, gluey, almost like chewing clay lol

It can be shaped like plastic explosives as well

Honestly I’d assume slab tastes better once you cook it

Or has a better texture

[dire loom]

Regular corpse starch seems good. But Ogryn grade corpse starch is basically grox? Lol

[arctic talon]

But in its out of package form it tastes like nothing

[arctic talon]

No, slab is not corpse starch

[dire loom]

Well at least the normal stuff is salted

[arctic talon]

Ogryn corpse starch would be the same as normal corpse starch

Just more

[dire loom]

Or sodiumed

[arctic talon]

Slab is its own foodstuff

[dire loom]

True, different varieties of rations. This is true.

[storm jungle]

Why are you trying to make food made from human fucking corpses be "good"

💀

[lament shoal]

What types of battlefields are kasrkins most commonly deployed to?

[storm jungle]

the entire joke is that its cannibalistic slop

[storm jungle]

Any.

They are elite troops

[lament shoal]

Ty

[dire loom]

It would help the starving.

[arctic talon]

Any with Cadians

lol

[dire loom]

Lots of people

[storm jungle]

it goes with the cadians just being able to fight anywhere in the galaxy

[arctic talon]

Which is basically every battlefield

[storm jungle]

so training them for a few select terrains would be weird

[arctic talon]

Kasrkin usually get sent to shittier chunks

lol

Since they’re stormtroopers

And therefore must deal with shittier environments

[dire loom]

Melk runs a corpse starch business. I wonder if there are jerky options too.

[arctic talon]

No

[storm jungle]

no

[arctic talon]

Ironically cannibalism is heresy

Most people do not know that corpse starch is actually made out of humans

Beyond jokes and suspicion

[dire loom]

Damn shame

[arctic talon]

Though the rejects seem to know

As do the arbites

lol

The schola progenium corpse starch is likely made from the dead kids

lol

[lament shoal]

Also I'm looking to try some zenithal highlighting. Do I have to use a black base primer before applying the white one or can it be any color?

[arctic talon]

I don’t do zenithal

Srry

I’d watch a guide for that

[lament shoal]

No worries

[dire loom]

Well, they're Inquisitoral Acolytes now. So I'm sure they read stuff sometimes and have access to some stuff.

So what is the potato and the cow in the Mobian domain? Do they have any grains?

[arctic talon]

We dunno

Prolly

Algae seems common

I’d assume the cow is the grox

"9 months holding this child... Only for THEM TO LOOK LIKE THEIR STUPID MOTHER!"

• Guilliman (real trust me)

[dire loom]

Wasn't there a canon story with that stuff smeared all over the ceiling and walls? As a warning or something to remind what happens if you fail?

[arctic talon]

They cement kids in the walls who fail yes

[dire loom]

Aren't there like actual real human skulls used as decorations too?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[dire loom]

[arctic talon]

But that’s normal

[opaque coyote]

Genuine question.

How much "wrong" do you have to do to get fucking killed

[arctic talon]

The imperium is a death cult

[opaque coyote]

Like if you're a student

In the schola

[dire loom]

I'm telling y'all

[arctic talon]

Depends on the thing you’re doing in the schola progenium

[dire loom]

Classic grim dark

[arctic talon]

Live fire obstacle course

Failure means you get fucking shot to death

lol

[dire loom]

Lmfao

[arctic talon]

Scions, comissars, arbites and SoB in training have a test known as “the wall”

[opaque coyote]

Yeah like idk for example.

If you do the classic case of "I have to go to the bathroom" during class. Would you be fucking murdered for even asking that

[dire loom]

Has anyone seen Billy?

[opaque coyote]

Do you get murdered for getting an F on a test?

[arctic talon]

No

Yes

If you’re the bottom performer

[opaque coyote]

And this test is like a writing one

[arctic talon]

You often get disciplined

If you’re the bottom performer constantly

You get killed

[dire loom]

Not much honestly IMHO

[arctic talon]

If the drill abbot is in a bad mood
