It’s from construction

According to the article

Sediment buildup

And other crap

[crystal forum]

these are issues with california being california

we shouldn't be blaming the datacenters for problems that already existed

even though the datacenters do suck

[rose thorn]

sorry bad gif

[rose thorn]

"see its not bad because poeple dying are due to whats powering/building it"

MY GUY

literally datacenters serve 0 purpose to anyone

except the ultra rich

[arctic talon]

That is false

But this many yes

Data centers are actually useful lol

[crystal forum]

ofc the software engineering student would say this

[rose thorn]

biology studnet vs software engineering studnet

[crystal forum]

datacenters do pollute a ton with sound

which is bad for the environment

and ofc they drain the electrical grid a ton

[rose thorn]

yes, and light pollution

[crystal forum]

which also means these shitty states will build more fucking coal plants

[rose thorn]

i dont get why they dont build this shit in teh desert

[outer wave]

Tbf light pollution is a society wide thing, not just AI centers

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/clint-eastwood-draw-gif-19805060

[crystal forum]

because they go where they get the most incentives

[rose thorn]

burn bot

[crystal forum]

cities literally beg these datacenters to come to them

[outer wave]

<@&735928989146939404> @foggy cradle I believe we got a bot spamming shit

The account pinged is likely the bot

[rose thorn]

the bot got 1 tapped

by the auto mod

[cerulean wagon]

got a screenshot?

[outer wave]

Sadly no

[cerulean wagon]

oh automod?

[crystal forum]

ye

[rose thorn]

they messaged and the auto mod stopped it

[outer wave]

Mhm

[arctic talon]

Computer science but yes, I’m not saying they don’t negatively effect the environment t

[rose thorn]

i twas 4 jpegs

[arctic talon]

But to say they’re useless is false imo

[crystal forum]

i think for the average person they have very little use

[arctic talon]

We are literally using one rn

wtf do you mean

[rose thorn]

i literally hav eno clue what datacenters do beisdes store the info that got scraped off me

[crystal forum]

what we use is a small percentage of what datacenters do

large companies shift so much fucking data around

[arctic talon]

I agree

[cerulean wagon]

sorted

[arctic talon]

But again saying they’re useless is false

[outer wave]

Thank ya!

[rose thorn]

yay thank you TOTS

[arctic talon]

Unless you don’t use the internet

Then yeah data centers are useless to you

[crystal forum]

still better than crypto mining

[arctic talon]

No shit lol

[crystal forum]

literally wasting electrons for this shit

[rose thorn]

i suspect someone in my building is mining crypto

the wifi gets really really shitty at erally weird points of time

and the power keeps cutting out

[crystal forum]

that's just peak time

[rose thorn]

its not hto lmao

[arctic talon]

Sounds like a big download

For the internet

[crystal forum]

could also be the provider being shitty and throttling

[rose thorn]

i have a really weird easy schedule, so im usually at my dorm when eveyrone else is in class

and at like, 10 am, 2 pm, and 10pm to 12 the wifi is really really inconsistant

[rose thorn]

ah

it goes out every 20-90 seconds

for like 2 seconds

[crystal forum]

im pretty sure these sorts of dorm wifis have limits per user so one person isnt hogging up all the bandwith

[arctic talon]

There’s a lot of variables as to why your internet is shitting itself tbh

[rose thorn]

also this is the freshmen building

so i suspect htey do something stupid

[rose thorn]

fair

[crystal forum]

that sounds like peak time to me

too many users on the network

[rose thorn]

yeah the 10-12pm makes sense but the 10 am and 2pm is weird since htats common class times v

ill track it today

[arctic talon]

Honestly college schedules are weird lol

[rose thorn]

i mean tomroorw

but its consistently shit

[crystal forum]

you can always rely on it being terrible

[rose thorn]

or its always bad and that the oly time i use the wifi

to do like, homewokr before class

yeah nvm that sounds like perosnal bais

tis porbbaly bad wifi

[crystal forum]

"homework"

[rose thorn]

evn then it was really bad during my fall break

[crystal forum]

you just want to watch anime before class

[rose thorn]

online physics

[young pecan]

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.06288

[crystal forum]

why are you doing physics in biology

[young pecan]

Wrong on the count of "horrific" diseases depending on your view

[rose thorn]

i have to take a physics class

[young pecan]

But still very quantifiably harmful to people living nearby

[rose thorn]

its a requirement

[young pecan]

Certainly not comparable to the 5G tower outrage either way

[arctic talon]

That’s so weird ngl

For biology

Then again I had to take a chem class for computer science lol

[rose thorn]

Met loads of computer majors being suicidal in chem class

Mi was also suicidal

Also alot of…. What’s it called

[arctic talon]

💀

[rose thorn]

The biology major for technology

[arctic talon]

Idk chem isn’t that bad

For me

[rose thorn]

To use like MRI machines

[rose thorn]

I hated chem it was the worst class I’ve ever taken after physics

And I like math

[arctic talon]

Medical tech?

[crystal forum]

fuck chem

[arctic talon]

Bio tech?

[rose thorn]

Yeah

Medical tech

[crystal forum]

fuck both chemists who use this channel

[rose thorn]

Chem majors are terrifying

[arctic talon]

lol

To think I almost majored in it

[rose thorn]

I imagine they just live their life like a 2004 point and click adventure game

[arctic talon]

Dodged a bullet on that

lol

[rose thorn]

Chem is like the moon logic of science

“Of course it would be 9.12 but you see it’s actually copper so the answer is 7.65”

[crystal forum]

things just work in chemistry because they do

you just have to trust it

[arctic talon]

The inherent laws of the universe

I TA’d for an AP chem teacher in high school lol

Was fun

[rose thorn]

Everything in biology besides biochemistry and microbiology makes sense to me

[arctic talon]

I got to set up labs

[rose thorn]

Microbiology is nonsensical to me but there seems to be logic

I don’t know trh logic

[crystal forum]

biology is way too much memorizing for me

[rose thorn]

People post a string of 14 letter and numbers and go “oh yeha that’s my favorite cell function molecule”

[rose thorn]

?

What’s there to memorize

[crystal forum]

where's the math

the logic

[rose thorn]

Individuals/Area

Ez

[young pecan]

Isn't the logic in how everything interacts with each other

[rose thorn]

“The brown bunnies are brown because they shouldn’t be white”

[rose thorn]

Yeah and it’s beautiful

[crystal forum]

when i think of a biologist i think of somebody pointing at an animal, knowing its latin name and going "cool"

[rose thorn]

Yeah?

Tahts like 60% of it

[arctic talon]

That’s a lot of memorization

lol

Then again I can’t say shit

[rose thorn]

Like a solid 70% of biology question you can just reverse engineer

[young pecan]

When I think of biologists I think of someone pointing at an animal, saying its name in latin, then giving you the most horrific fact possible about them that no one else knows

[storm jungle]

genuinely so weird how Militech gets left out of the entire plotbeats of Cyberpunk minus a few bits lol

[crystal forum]

in engineering you're not even expected to know anything. just to be able to find a way eventually

[rose thorn]

In biology it’s kinda similar, every person usually specializes in a specific thing except for medical biologists

they are lame and save human lives and make advances that make human live longer

[arctic talon]

The entire militech storyline got cut

lol

Their corporate plaza building is modeled

[crystal forum]

they also make the most amount of money in biology by an astronomical amount so fuck them

[arctic talon]

There’s a dummied out ending for them as well involving Meredith stout

[storm jungle]

BRUH

WHAT

[arctic talon]

And also two others involving the voodoo boys and Netwatch

lol

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

Oh my goddd im gonna crash out 💀

[rose thorn]

Yeah, no honor among thieves or something like that

[arctic talon]

Also other fun fact River Ward was originally gona be the one who pulled you out of the dump

They switched it to takemura at some point for

Reasons

[crystal forum]

also idk why people dont realize that medicine is just human focused biology

it's the same field basically

[arctic talon]

What’s more cyberpunk then a games development being fucked by corpo rats

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH lion l Johnson would be the sickest fucking stormcast kitbash

[arctic talon]

Lion El celestial prime

lol

[rose thorn]

I need to see but sizes

[rose thorn]

FR

[arctic talon]

He should be about right

On paper

Def oversized

[young pecan]

Props to those people who sit in the same spot for days and days just to capture evidence of a species that was previously thought to be extinct

[arctic talon]

But he’s around the same height

As the celestant prime with all the stuff holding him up

[rose thorn]

Lion l lord commander

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/militech-cyberpunk2077-logo-mega-corporation-graffiti-gif-26400725

[arctic talon]

Okay

Well the base is correct

LOL

I’m ngl I’ve not seen the celestant prime in ages

I forgot how high he was flying

[rose thorn]

he is perfecct size wihtout terrain for a lord commadner

shield is all good hte sword is alright

legs need work

the chest needs scraping

[arctic talon]

Power pack maybe needs work

[rose thorn]

yeah thats a full removal

maybe use

somethign liek ont his guy

or put a shield back there

also

one fo these

[arctic talon]

Good god forgot he had a fake powerpack lol

[rose thorn]

lmao

[arctic talon]

Does it even have a name

[rose thorn]

ill cehck

[arctic talon]

As for what he’s wearing on his back

I’m not big on stormcast lore

I only know Sylvaneth, chaos warrior and cities of sugmar lore well

lol

[rose thorn]

its a reliquary container i believe

[arctic talon]

Huh

Guess it tracks

[rose thorn]

i wonder if there is a local DA player who would buy my left over bits

wasnt there a sacrosanct unit hat had osmethign ont eihr back

[arctic talon]

I think so

But it was like a bunch of fuckin scrolls sticking out it

[rose thorn]

ah

i thinkt eh ahrd part is the chest for lion l stormcast

gotta scrape alot of stuffo ff

even then it doenst have the sicko abs

OH duh throw abig lion on it instead

yeah

[arctic talon]

Beast mark time

[rose thorn]

What the deer doing

[rose thorn]

THE CHILDREN OF KURNOTH RISEEEEEEEEEE

CHAOS WILL BLEEEEED

cant believe i will haev a nurgle amry lol

[opaque coyote]

Y'know something that I'm surprised is that

When Hadron says her typical complaints like

"Data stream ceased. You certain you installed the interrogator correctly?"

I kinda wish there was a voice line where the characters just shout out

"KINDA BUSY HERE!"

[rose thorn]

would black deers look better o gazzel with star pattern

[opaque coyote]

Or

"OH REALLY I HAVEN'T FRAKKING NOTICED!"

I think it should be a chance type of thing so they don't say it everytime Hadron shouts at you

[rose thorn]

i hope the deer are reavealed soon

[opaque coyote]

Deer?

Hey if sigmar made a puzzle what would it be

[arctic talon]

A riddle

He seems like a riddle type of guy to me

[rose thorn]

True…

Probably a reference to a kids book

AOS chat says grungi would do it instead which makes sense

Iiii got it, I’ll do the old gemstone puzzle

Have them be carved into the shape of fern leaves on a wall

[opaque coyote]

Ogryn: "Uhh... I think I did it right?"

Zealot: "The Emperor gives us our toughest battles to test our character even in inopportune times..."

[sour hornet]

lmao

[languid meadow]

Ice tea and meal team six are in Chicago rn

Bleak days ahead

[crisp heath]

Somehow it becomes even more religious

[dapper gyro]

The 2077 we got is a shell of what was planned. In the game, there are still so many relics of that vision.

Weapons were supposed to be more modifiable, with several more variants.

The D5 rifle has smart and power variants that are the same gun, but you can mod it instead of being 2 different guns.

[storm jungle]

[wintry cloud]

So i watched one of the tithe episodes i think and like a generic low level necron gauss gun just atomizes you?

One touch and you’re dust?

[shadow plover]

it do be like that

[storm jungle]

Yes.

Unless you are a marine which you can sometimes "tank" it but still removes anything they touch layer by layer, its why they are referred to as Gauss Flayers in some bits.

Its also why your average fodder necron infantry can just melt tanks

[shadow plover]

someone pinched his nose

[sacred bluff]

stewpid beakies

[near wasp]

Not a real space Marine, no Marine would be caught dead using a stock

[crystal forum]

yeah i was about to say

do bolter stock enthusiasts not realize that there's nowhere for the stock to even rest on

because of the shoulder pads

[storm jungle]

Lmao

destroyed

[rose thorn]

i didnt even send the obvious answer because they are in phobos armor lol

[storm jungle]

Double destroyed

[crystal forum]

lame

[storm jungle]

[crystal forum]

what even is that alpha legion gun

[storm jungle]

Sniper rifle

[crystal forum]

guy's pointing at it like he's showing it off

[storm jungle]

Hes reloading

fucking nitpicker

[crystal forum]

i'm not

[storm jungle]

You are

Death.

[shadow plover]

he's pointing at the knob telling how it goes to 11

[storm jungle]

Lmao speaking of that actually

The Instrument was a unique sniper rifle used by the Alpha Legion's assassin Exodus. The weapon was of unknown design and origin, and seemingly used a combination of advanced bolter weaponry and gravitic accelerator technology.[1]

literally to 11

[shadow plover]

[crystal forum]

it's a funky looking gun

in a good way

[shadow plover]

it's cool

would get the model if it weren't AL specific

[storm jungle]

Im glad it is

no fun allowed for loyalists inşallah

🙏

[crystal forum]

wdym it's alpha legion

they're loyalist

[storm jungle]

how about i blow out your kneecaps

[shadow plover]

As if I'd collect loyalist heresy models

[crystal forum]

do it

[wintry cloud]

Only heresy model id get is Ka’bandha

[shadow plover]

they've got no sauce

[wintry cloud]

If he wasn’t 400 dollars

[shadow plover]

Ultras got some

[storm jungle]

i met up with a guy last weekend who hadn't touched the hobby since 2018

i showed him modern prices

[shadow plover]

US tax

[wintry cloud]

Bruh

[crystal forum]

he thought a combat patrol was below 100$

jokes on him

[wintry cloud]

Poor guy

[crystal forum]

now im trying to sell him half my leviathan box

[shadow plover]

he was probably thinking the old Start Collecting! boxes which were a lot smaller and cheaper

[crystal forum]

no he was thinking combat patrol

[shadow plover]

2018 didn't have combat patrols

[crystal forum]

idk then

just punch me in the face why don't you

[raven stone]

But that's the thing - with the sole exception of that ONE Consul character, even Alpha Legion named characters don't have fixed alignment in HH 2nd Ed rules

So yes

[raven stone]

Even Alpharius can be declared a loyalist by the controlling player

[wintry cloud]

Considering votann and space wolves have those heavy norse vibes do they get along well?

[storm jungle]

We have no idea but likely not.

Space Marines are turbo-racists and Kin dont give a shit about humanity or their affairs unless it benefits them.

The norse connection is also not really there that much since space wolves are so monolith in one aesthetic.

[crystal forum]

i heard you like wolves

[rose thorn]

if i had a nickle for an originally human race thats now xenos who hates the imperium id have 2 nickles

[crystal forum]

what's the other race

[rose thorn]

gsc

[crystal forum]

GSC isn't inherently human though right

like there could be tau GSC

[rose thorn]

theres a wierd lore thing for why only really humans are gsc

tau have eugenics to assure gscs arent a probelm

and everyone is immune or can easily detect it

except humans

[crystal forum]

you got it here folks

diversity bad according to 40k

so called woke setting

[vagrant fox]

there was that one craftworld that had a full blown cult but it was kind of on purpose for bad reasons

[rose thorn]

if anything diversity means that you are naturally immune to the infection

[crystal forum]

why

[rose thorn]

phantom cannoncisity

[crystal forum]

imagine being called guy

what a horrible fate

[sacred bluff]

juy the guy

[vagrant fox]

In what way? That the Ynnari novels were kind of dropped and unfinished?

[rose thorn]

GSCs thrive in shitty over populated cramped areas with abusive power dynamics and with species that quickly and easily reproduce

[crystal forum]

ye populations with diversity

where mutants are kinda normal

GSC just hide as typical hive scum with birth defects

[rose thorn]

Wiat that was in ynnari book

[rose thorn]

I don’t think the crab people and the birds can reproduce

I sssure you hive worlds are not diverse

[vagrant fox]

Yea, I think the first one. I mean Eldar usually destroy the cults quickly this one's just an exception

[crystal forum]

we know that there's specific variants of humans on some worlds so i'd say they can sometimes

we're not talking about any realistic mutations here anyways. it's not like you could sprout a beak suddenly irl

although that would be cool

[vagrant fox]

the furry would say that

[crystal forum]

shut it clown

[rose thorn]

You know mutants in hive worlds are still treated horribly and are shoved to the literal worst corners of the hive world

Rat skins in necromunda baiscally get purged

[crystal forum]

they still exist

[rose thorn]

Because they were the natives of the planet

[crystal forum]

tau dont even have any

[rose thorn]

Tau have hundreds of species

Hundred

[crystal forum]

not really mutants though right

[rose thorn]

mutation doesn’t mean they are diverse omfg

They can reproduce with humans still

[crystal forum]

it does when it's about control

[rose thorn]

[crystal forum]

you think tau don't heavily control mutations

[near wasp]

[rose thorn]

I do think so but they don’t have mutants

Because they don’t live in literal inches of nuclear reactors

[crystal forum]

human mutants dont come from industrial only

they pop up everywhere

also warp

[rose thorn]

Mutants are a consequence of the low diversity they aren’t the cause of diversity

Imperium literally linches mutants

[near wasp]

Tau probably kill mutants or sterilize them

[rose thorn]

And are the bottom of society

[crystal forum]

well anyways the reason there's no tau GSC is because GW doesnt care about xenos

[remote wadi]

It's hard to make mutations on perfect mixes

[rose thorn]

They don’t do it because it also makes no sense

[crystal forum]

why

[remote wadi]

Tau are splitted by castes and characteristics

The being earth caste is the mutation itself

[crystal forum]

would you not buy a tau GSC army

[remote wadi]

But it was the intended mutation

[rose thorn]

Yes

[remote wadi]

They breed it

[storm jungle]

^

GSC's whole appeal is secret imperial cults that wanna topple the imperium

[rose thorn]

I want to play the terrorists

[winged jacinth]

The castes are pre-civilization subspecies for the tau iirc

[storm jungle]

^^^^

[crystal forum]

tau GSC would be so funny since both factions get so little attention

[storm jungle]

GSC get plenty tbh

also this is coming from a guard fan

[rose thorn]

Tau get plenty

[storm jungle]

someone kill this guy

[crystal forum]

we barely know of tau auxilia

[rose thorn]

Gsc are like half an army

[vagrant fox]

wasn't there a ork freebooterz genestealer cult thing once

[crystal forum]

and GSC tabletop is just guard with extra steps now

[winged jacinth]

The gsc would probably have a tough time on tau worlds, decent standards of living and constant effective propaganda probably hinder them a lot

[rose thorn]

We… we… literally ahve a detachment specifically for that

[rose thorn]

Exactly

[crystal forum]

where

[rose thorn]

The detachment called tau auxiliary

[crystal forum]

ye but we rarely get to see tau aux

especially humans

[rose thorn]

There is an entire subfaction of tau specially for aux

The kroot

And now vespids

[crystal forum]

no i meant human aux

[rose thorn]

Humans are almost on KoS orders

[vagrant fox]

ok it's from 1991 but they should definitely bring this back

[winged jacinth]

Also ai
Cant genesteal the automated crisis suits exterminating your brood

[crystal forum]

GSC could infiltrate tau i'm sure

it's not impossible

[rose thorn]

“Oh yeha we barley have tau auxiliary”
“What about the literal tau auxiliary we have”
“No I just mean human auxiliary”

[winged jacinth]

They could but its a terrible proposition compared to an imperial hive

[rose thorn]

Guard players smh

[crystal forum]

forgive me for forgetting the kroot

the most forgettable faction

[rose thorn]

The best part of tau

[storm jungle]

most forgettable
literally get featured everywhere

someone kill this guy

[vagrant fox]

I would like to see the tau auxillia explored more instead of ever more boringass mechs

[queen laurel]

When I'm in a challenge to be not knowledgeable about other factions and my opponent is Jay

[vagrant fox]

this is my cool and wise take

[winged jacinth]

Now that they've named like 10 auxilia races they should give us models for like, some of them

[crystal forum]

sigsen gets it

this is why i like sigsen

you should all be sigsen

[wintry cloud]

They’re front and center in a new game coming out

I will kiss her

[rose thorn]

Me too

I love kroot

[vagrant fox]

I should remain unique and cool and a solitary wolf lion hybrid

[rose thorn]

I hope the end of edition rumors are true and kroot are getting a new box soon

[crystal forum]

is it an rts game

[wintry cloud]

Tactical turn based

[rose thorn]

It’s an rpg

[crystal forum]

🥱

0/10 ragebait

[rose thorn]

Fr

[winged jacinth]

Tau could just get a human aux ruleset and apply it to a guard box or something they don't even need new molds lol

[crystal forum]

i hope the game is fun i truly do

[winged jacinth]

Upgrade sprue with pulse weapons

[crystal forum]

i'd kill for that

tau upgraded guard

i dont think there's any rules for tau aux tho

[winged jacinth]

Human auxilia don't make too much sense from a model perspective though because what would they be besides fire warriors

[crystal forum]

cooler

they would be cooler

[winged jacinth]

They should make an upgrade sprue you can buy standalone and run a guard unit just as fire warriors

1 small mold no balancing or new rules

Free money

[crystal forum]

i want more guard stuff

krieg was not enough

[vagrant fox]

I just wanna read more about the Nicassar or Vorgh or like, uh, dang ol' Morralians

[crystal forum]

2026 will be the year of the guard

[rocky gale]

Tau should get a rework so 90% of their models are humans and then 10% Tau

[crystal forum]

larmoth coming in with the cold hard truth

[winged jacinth]

I haven't heard the line in DT about pulse rifles in the magistrati lockup in forever i wonder if they removed it because we're never getting pulse weapons

[vagrant fox]

What do we even know about the Morralians, they're xenos and they fight for the Tau. Not a whole lot more than that

[crystal forum]

tau would actually get lore if they were human

[rocky gale]

Only the elites and hq should be Tau, make all the rest humans

[crystal forum]

replace all the tau mechs with knights

it's what the people want

[winged jacinth]

The tau have the biggest gap between writing frontiers and attention out of all the factions i think

You could write a hundred angles on tau that haven't been covered

Tau knights should be the knight sized auxilia aliens armored up

That would be awesome

[crystal forum]

bricked up knight

[vagrant fox]

I mildly like them but mechs bore me to tears. Pacific Rim being the exception
I want more fluff for the Tau that explores more of their whole deal

and the various aliens

[crystal forum]

i like exosuits

i wish 40k had more of that

[vagrant fox]

you should be furry vored

[winged jacinth]

Mech is such a broad category japan doesn't even use "mecha" as an anime genre lol

[crystal forum]

i like the invictus warsuit

ye i said it

fight me

[winged jacinth]

Theres a bunch of subgenre like real-robot that get used instead

[storm jungle]

Mid opinion

someone disembowel this guy

[crystal forum]

nooo my bowels

[storm jungle]

🫡

[winged jacinth]

Real robot is best when getting in the robot is a regular job and also really unpleasant

[vagrant fox]

either way more tau genestealer experimental facilities thanks

[winged jacinth]

Wack: getting in the super robot and fighting monsters with friendship and fighting spirit
Jacked: getting in one of 100000 regular robots and all your friends dying

[storm jungle]

talking about wacking and jacking?

🤨

[winged jacinth]

That's something super robots might do for you

[crystal forum]

i like exosuits because they aren't a disproportionate amount of power

it's just a big dude you control

or sometimes just an exoskeleton

[near wasp]

What the hell

[crystal forum]

especially when in the setting they're super shitty

[winged jacinth]

Cracked: G Gundam

[tough haven]

You mean just kroot and vespids

[crystal forum]

like in edge of tomorrow

[tough haven]

all the other cool species they have get one throwaway mention once

[wintry cloud]

My love
My anger
And all of my sorrow

Goated

[vagrant fox]

what in the got damn netherlands

[near wasp]

The windmill should be on its back so it can punch

[winged jacinth]

Yeah this is nether gundam representing neo-holland

[rose thorn]

Just saying if we got the space worms and the crabs people instead would be like “yeha but gw threw away all the cool ones like the kroot and vespids and now we just have these lame aliens”

[crystal forum]

wouldn't neo holland just be the ocean

[winged jacinth]

The design process for g gundam was getting 5 japanese guys in a room and asking them if they know anything about a country

[near wasp]

The Netherlands is a myth perpetualated by big ocean

[tough haven]

I'm saying have both?

[winged jacinth]

All the countries are in space now don't ask

[crystal forum]

mfw my entire country is below sea level

[tough haven]

Alien coalition faction with a total of three (3) alien types

[crystal forum]

is that a fucking space sumbrero

[winged jacinth]

Like i said

[near wasp]

The legendary space mexico

[rose thorn]

The auxiliary isn’t the main tabletop appeal of tau it’s the mechs, we’re lucky kroot got the love they deserve

[crystal forum]

you're lucky

[rose thorn]

Yes I am

https://tenor.com/view/evil-superman-gif-632723218522114279

Guess who won?

@queen laurel

[storm jungle]

man thats a sexy model

[wintry cloud]

His lore caught me off guard

Thought he was just some cool generic guy but the dude has realmstone burning in his veins. He can enter a fire-enraged state

Cool stuff

[storm jungle]

reincarnated kruber my beloved

[queen laurel]

i know from the start he would win anyway

the guy is genuinely just appeals to the most

[wintry cloud]

Very true

[winged jacinth]

The art looks like a grim dawn press release background lol

[rocky gale]

He's so fucking cool

[winged jacinth]

This man is about to slay so many aetherials

[wintry cloud]

Wonder what it feels like to have ancient fire rocks flowing through your blood

[queen laurel]

see I told you he was gonna win

but you didn't believe me

[wintry cloud]

Wonder who’s runner up

[queen laurel]

bro is also basically a human Fyreslayer

[winged jacinth]

Where did winged manticores even come from

[wintry cloud]

Hell yeah, a great duelist with a raging fire install super

[winged jacinth]

Did that get absorbed from gryphons or something

Actually i bet is the fault of like, one piece of AD&D art

[queen laurel]

warhammer always had winged manticores

[winged jacinth]

Yeah but manticores were wingless for about 3000 years before that

[storm jungle]

maybe they asked and borrowed em

[winged jacinth]

9th century bce is the first recorded mention apparently i knew they showed up in pliny but i forgot who he got it from

So they got wings at some point

[queen laurel]

Popularized by DND it's like how in pop culture Vikings shouldn't even have those stupid horn helmets but they look cool so people keep them around

[winged jacinth]

Kobolds as lizards is also a d&d invention lol

Look at my manticore bro

I need an mf knight to slay it asap

Cut its head smoove off

The british thought manticores lived in india up until colonization lol

[prime seal]

still need a mexican gundam gunpla

[spring cairn]

they actually do I've seen it

[winged jacinth]

Tequila gundam is something special

A great example of my theory for how the design process went

[prime seal]

its goated

[winged jacinth]

They for sure just got like 5 japanese guys in a room and asked them if they knew anything about the countries

Mexico: sombrero cactus
Canada: lumberjack
America: football player boxer surfer cowboy
Germany: ninja in pickelhaube

[prime seal]

the malaysian gundam

[winged jacinth]

Did they ever explain how domon's brother's robot clone learned german ninjutsu

[prime seal]

i dont remember much of mobile fighter its not really my favourite gundam series

[winged jacinth]

I remember a lot but nothing important

How could i forget fuunsaiki

[prime seal]

the best ones for me are the Original and Turn A

[winged jacinth]

Im a Z and ZZ head

Ibo was good too

[wintry cloud]

Kyyyoooojjjiiiii

[prime seal]

that would make soo much money

[storm jungle]

Mr Kojima?

[prime seal]

make him a Master Grade

[storm jungle]

Tau already make enough money as is from their mechs, so not really needed

[winged jacinth]

This guy... has aquired abilities of the dark gundam.... with the helpofKYOOOOOOJJJJIIIIIIII

[storm jungle]

why do you think their entire faction identity has been reduced to mechs

[prime seal]

the joytoy tau mech's suck

[storm jungle]

its pretty good

[prime seal]

they're worse than rare grades and cost more

[storm jungle]

i kinda wanted to get it but i dont like toys

also i dont wanna be like those star wars guys whos bedroom is covered in merch, its sad

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-red-letter-media-mike-stoklasa-anxious-anxiety-gif-16960754

[prime seal]

im talking grades

[winged jacinth]

Im a zeta boy but the og was on sale

[forest orbit]

I really should get into gundam...

[prime seal]

i have a perfect mass production zaku that took me a decade to build

[forest orbit]

Ive been kinda wanting to watch its animes

[prime seal]

WHAT GRADE WAS IT

[winged jacinth]

Oh they're RGs i think

[storm jungle]

Arent there like 10 of them

[winged jacinth]

Littleish

[prime seal]

high grade is the beginner stuff

[forest orbit]

Uh probably, idfk

[prime seal]

but they're not hard to build

at all

unless you go into perfect's

[winged jacinth]

Literal snapfits its nice

[prime seal]

as long as you don't start with either a perfect or a special more complicated variant you'll be fine

[storm jungle]

They're talking about stuff to watch

[forest orbit]

^

I aint getting those toys

im broke as is

[raven stone]

Well

Soft 2 days in office mandate

[prime seal]

that's what everyone says

then they get a rx78-2

or a unicorn

and never look back

[storm jungle]

Hes already broke from having an entire space marine army

[prime seal]

anyways just start from the beginning

[forest orbit]

What Dilara said

[prime seal]

don't bother with the summary movies they suck

[storm jungle]

He'll be fine, anime sucks in general

lots to choose from still

[forest orbit]

🤔

[prime seal]

i wouldnt know

[forest orbit]

Alas not wrong 😔

[forest orbit]

[raven stone]

I have seen some madlads doing Zaku Marine conversions

[prime seal]

what they said

[forest orbit]

?

[raven stone]

Aside from the obvious Tau Gundam

[prime seal]

how

[storm jungle]

Its that nutjob on theorycraft from awhile back who had a crashout and started insulting you

[forest orbit]

Oh that weirdo lol

[prime seal]

shit they look dope

[forest orbit]

what was that even about

I cant even remember

[crystal forum]

what is theorycrafting even for

[forest orbit]

I remember being attacked for my pfp which was funny

[storm jungle]

Basically same as here

[queen laurel]

honestly it has just kind of become a hangout spot for people

like here

[storm jungle]

but you get random schizos like that guy

its like secondary lorechat

[crystal forum]

i thought that was book channel

[queen laurel]

they talk about theories of course but randomly they also talk about random topics

[queen laurel]

book channel stays on topic most of the

time

unlike us

[crystal forum]

it's not the same without clad

[storm jungle]

Tbh

he was a literal imperialist

i think we'll be fine

[crystal forum]

he hid it well

[storm jungle]

ikr

that mask-off moment was funny

[queen laurel]

Bro was using his hatred for legion to hide the fact that he's actually an imperial officer

[storm jungle]

Real.

[crystal forum]

book channel is far less entertaining mow

[storm jungle]

Tbh its fine

Clad wont be missed

[crystal forum]

well ofc you hated his takes

[storm jungle]

"you"

[queen laurel]

it's entertaining but would you want to have a guy that advocates colonialism

[storm jungle]

literally all his takes were called garbage by everoyne

[crystal forum]

dilara he actually read the books which is more than 95% of the community

[storm jungle]

He hasnt

he literally dropped Legion at Chapter 1

also cant read rulebooks and calls them "slop"

[crystal forum]

oh yeah because it started with a phrase or smth

[storm jungle]

Yep lmao

[crystal forum]

i remember asking why

and his reason was hilarious

[storm jungle]

yeah it was like

"its this exact arabic word THUS CRINGE"

and had an entire episode over it

it was REALLY bizarre

[queen laurel]

he also literally confessed this himself he only reads 30K books and not 40K books

and don't read rulebooks for lore

like

[storm jungle]

His takes were terrible in general its fine

[queen laurel]

yeah he was just as a person not someone you would take seriously

literally everyone in book chat

makes fun of him

Especially for his rather very specific hatred for legion

[crystal forum]

it brought character to a rather bland channel

[storm jungle]

I mean its a book channel

tf do you want character for

💀

[crystal forum]

it's funny since i rarely see people actually talking about books in depth in there

it's mostly suggesting books

[storm jungle]

well yeah thats what the channel is for

[hallow saddle]

is clad banned or something

[storm jungle]

Yeah he is

[queen laurel]

yes

[storm jungle]

had a full mask-off moment

[hallow saddle]

lmao

[storm jungle]

which was extremely sudden

[crystal forum]

also wow scouring series is almost her

[queen laurel]

Yeah it was so sudden even I was caught off guard

[crystal forum]

we really hit the scouring

[queen laurel]

I thought he was just an idiot that no one likes

[crystal forum]

isn't it wild

hard to believe HH is technically over

[crystal forum]

he never cropped his pfp correctly

[hallow saddle]

I always miss the good shit dude istg

[storm jungle]

actual sociopath lol

[hallow saddle]

[storm jungle]

"The west would never let minorities in the middle-east suffer"

💀

[hallow saddle]

wtf lmao

[storm jungle]

Aged like wine lol

[crystal forum]

i doubt this russian ever even met a non white person

[rose thorn]

what the fuck

[queen laurel]

This is like a well executed NPC in a TTRPG campaign revealing they are a villain

[storm jungle]

Entire city is a fucking grey rubble

[vagrant fox]

clad was right no one should read legion
mostly because it's part of the horus heresy not because of some random words

[spring cairn]

I'm preparing my mask-off moment, get ready

[hallow saddle]

the loan words thing was fucking weird at the time and it's still weird

[storm jungle]

i just assumed he was a pedantic idiot before this ngl

[queen laurel]

same now i understand why he doesn't think he is ever wrong

[crystal forum]

my mask off moment is revealing i'm actually straight this whole time

[storm jungle]

catastrophic

[spring cairn]

banned

[vagrant fox]

would be extremely boring

lamest mask off moment to date

[wintry cloud]

This is hilarious

[queen laurel]

If you do that I'm pretty sure the fabric of time and space itself would actually blow up

[rose thorn]

my mask off moment owuld be buying a guard army

[crystal forum]

cope

[vagrant fox]

There's some people where that "I know what you are" meme applies so strongly but I thought Clad was just a bit slow

[hallow saddle]

I think he's slow as well

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/doakes-dexter-dexter-doakes-gotcha-found-you-gif-14688017774431904057

[rocky gale]

My mask off moment is revealing I'm actually like this all the time and its not an act

[queen laurel]

right a lot of people here thought he was just a slow legion hating idiot that can't accept any other type of content besides 30K slop

[storm jungle]

THE WEST

[wintry cloud]

What if he really was that slow. And he wasn’t a nazi

[spring cairn]

thine west hast fallen

[wintry cloud]

Just snail level slow

[hallow saddle]

a Nazi being actually mentally slow irl - it's never happened!!

[crystal forum]

what if he was just roleplaying as arch warhammer

[vagrant fox]

idk the politicans suck and I have falaffels the west can fall for all I care

[wintry cloud]

I hate arch.

[queen laurel]

My mask off moment is I would still be the same person but now I am 1% taller

[outer wave]

Jesus Christ I thought he was just the dude that everyone got annoyed by (jokingly, least I thought) in book chat, not a weird ass

[crystal forum]

it was very unexpected

[wintry cloud]

Yeah that guys a weirdo

[crystal forum]

to me at least

Why am I getting roasted at 9 in the morning with no brekkie in my stomach 😔

[vagrant fox]

The only americans I knew who weren't a little exhausted of the political climate also argued that public transport is bad because it'd let black people into white communities to rob and steal which was a very ?? arguement

[crystal forum]

this channel is my favorite parasocial relationship

[queen laurel]

I heard their barbers are pretty chopped

[crystal forum]

early onset baldhood

same for algerians

[spring cairn]

you don't get it...

[crystal forum]

baldhood is a curse

[vagrant fox]

wrong

[crystal forum]

im so glad i dont have it

[vagrant fox]

the bald brotherhood is of the strongest and you are clearly of the weakest

[crystal forum]

if you're bald dont even like talk to me

ick

[vagrant fox]

having hair like some sort of dumbass caveman

[crystal forum]

ye like ancient warriors

[vagrant fox]

the cue is the only acceptable hairstyle

Wait we've got a siggy and a sigsen, that's too much

[crystal forum]

did you only now notice

[vagrant fox]

so it goes

[rocky gale]

Yea

They must fight to the death

[vagrant fox]

I used to go by Siggy a few years ago as well, good thing I changed

[crystal forum]

i often feel like im the only person in this channel who realizes other people exist

[spring cairn]

who's this guy

[queen laurel]

We must make a hybrid called Siggen

[vagrant fox]

I'm not fighting no gunned up yankee all I've got is a whaling knife

[queen laurel]

to counteract the effects

[vagrant fox]

we are not compatible he's of german stock and i'm of nordic stock

[crystal forum]

when you first arrived sigsen i thought you would be a poor imitation of siggy

[queen laurel]

i didn't say it needed to be a stable hybrid

[crystal forum]

but you grew into your own character

and you're well written

congrats

[vagrant fox]

thanks I try to be irritating

[spring cairn]

Sigsen was well written but there was a lot of pacing issues in act 3

[vagrant fox]

That is how you get the Baltic crusades which is pretty cool, a lot of people died

[crystal forum]

the gay arc really made him better

[crystal forum]

is this real

[rocky gale]

Big Sig

[crystal forum]

holy shit baltic crusades were real

[vagrant fox]

the Danish king Valdemar Victory crusaded in Estonia and the Germans butchered around the place as well

[spring cairn]

sorry

[vagrant fox]

I would sign up for being Venom Sig

[queen laurel]

is that just you but now you have a symbiote

a symbiote with your personality

hmm

oh well that would be funny

[vagrant fox]

I don't really know what that is but I heard Tom Hardy was gay about the black goo

[queen laurel]

symbiotes are what's venom's races is called

[spring cairn]

I don't think that's actually the case sadly

[vagrant fox]

I was thinking this venom tho

[queen laurel]

Venom could mean many things that venom hell it could even mean venom the same drug that bane uses

[crystal forum]

a guy being gay for black goo is a different setting

a much better setting

[vagrant fox]

the mahvels eternally torture me 😔

[rocky gale]

I acknowledge only the worthy

[queen laurel]

i keep like a pretty comprehensive list of people here

[spring cairn]

I think I get it, sadly

[crystal forum]

your list is deficient

also my list is in my head

because i REMEMBER WHEN OTHERS SAY THINGS

[queen laurel]

Well yeah because you're a gay person you're kind of good at doing that

And I mean that as a compliment

[spring cairn]

straight ppl be like

[wintry cloud]

This implies straight people have worse memory than gays

But tbh my memory is a nightmare.

[spring cairn]

i forgot

alzheimer

[crystal forum]
