40k-lore-chat

[humble shoal]

I think I got the worst option

[storm jungle]

its funny because people were like saying this exact same thing with arbites

[humble shoal]

void whale

[storm jungle]

"how would this even work"

then they just get nuked the moment it came out

[hallow saddle]

look at literally anything from necromunda

[hollow lantern]

Arb is more defined tbf

[storm jungle]

Nah

[rocky gale]

Ganger sounds dumb

[hallow saddle]

only if ur dumb

necromunda baby

[humble shoal]

My hope is my favorite slavers

[rocky gale]

[hallow saddle]

it's where all the coolest shit is????

[storm jungle]

Anyway whatever the new class is im sure yall will explode either way so i win in any case

[dapper gyro]

Combat Servitor

[storm jungle]

[humble shoal]

void whale confirmed by dilara

[hallow saddle]

I want them to have talents to affect stimms, that's be cool

[storm jungle]

Exactly.

[hollow lantern]

I'm almost entirely sure its some sort of techpriest tbh

[humble shoal]

but I asked for the worst answer

[hallow saddle]

it's not cause the class name is Broker in the code

[storm jungle]

^

Manto is onto something

but its deffo a gangster ogryn

[rocky gale]

Controversial move from Fatshark making the new class be an Enslaver

[hollow lantern]

Broker could be any sort of thing tbh

[dapper gyro]

Morgryn

[humble shoal]

cold trader

[storm jungle]

God okay

i gotta stop talking

this chat is making me cringe in like "fuck i shouldnt say anything"

[humble shoal]

heh

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

you could be saying things

[humble shoal]

anyway what would be the wrost option

and why is it void whales

[hallow saddle]

sure but also being brokers is not something the mechanicus tend to do

[dapper gyro]

Nah, it is Halo Spartan crossover.

[hallow saddle]

so it's looking less likely to be mechanicus

[storm jungle]

A cog-broker perhaps

[hollow lantern]

I took broker as "information broker" tbh

[humble shoal]

I... want that emote

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

somekind of "water broker" from a certain water cartel

[dapper gyro]

Mouscanicus?

[humble shoal]

the new class is swagger

[storm jungle]

Dick Broker more like

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-space-kamikaze-explosion-gif-15875063139611313358

[rocky gale]

It's named Broker because that's what we're going to be after buying the next DLC

[humble shoal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yYxOuHUpDI

[dapper gyro]

Ah, yes, Cyberpunk implant

[wintry cloud]

Insanely heavy.

[tough haven]

Bro I’m gonna be so upset cause I know it’s not an admech related class

[rocky gale]

[dapper gyro]

Toilet seat logo... Might as well get a toilet seat on it.

[tough haven]

Biggest reach ever

[rocky gale]

It's got broker in the name

[dapper gyro]

If you go to the toilet, that means you are not killing.

[hollow lantern]

I think a xenos class jumps the shark for me personally

[storm jungle]

its peak

[hallow saddle]

ya I think thats probably right. but also the codenames aren't literal. for example arbites was Adamant in the code

so it's still open ended

[hollow lantern]

I think adamant is wildly literal for arb

[humble shoal]

its a tech broker

a jokkaero

[rocky gale]

Monke would be pog

[storm jungle]

Jokaero is the next class

[hallow saddle]

but ppl who're most associated with being information brokers are found in the underhive

[storm jungle]

breaking my NDA to tell you guys this

was nice knowing you folks

[hallow saddle]

yeah I guess haha

[wintry cloud]

Farewell

[dapper gyro]

I will revive you using some of my black magic.

[humble shoal]

pass me mechanicus rat before you go

[hollow lantern]

They like saying it enough

[storm jungle]

it sfrom the dawn of war unification server

[humble shoal]

anyway the real new class is a skaven slave

[hallow saddle]

could be data-broker

which might be more mechanicus

stil seems kind of specific tho

[humble shoal]

could be storm vermin

[hollow lantern]

Do you remember the original original marketting for DT, it was a video that ended with the rejects looking out from a cliff esque thing over the hive?

[humble shoal]

broker of overheads

[crystal forum]

the fatshark?

[rocky gale]

Must be a big jump

[storm jungle]

that was the first promo image, there wasnt a video

[hollow lantern]

Sure, if you find it more appealing like that

[tough haven]

OAAAAHH BANNANA!

[hollow lantern]

Do you have it?

Ive been looking for it literally forever

[rocky gale]

Took 3 seconds

[hollow lantern]

Thanks

[storm jungle]

That one yeah lmao

still very good

[hollow lantern]

I swear there was a 5th class in that

[vagrant fox]

there's a servo skull as a 5th one there, what could it mean??!

[storm jungle]

nope

it was always 4 characters

[crystal forum]

servo class

[storm jungle]

I remember when people were analyzing the shit out of this

and saying the ogryn was gonna have that charonite backpack

[rocky gale]

Servoskull class would be peak

[hollow lantern]

I like hardcore remember a techie being in one of the promo images but ig I'm playing tricks on myself

[crystal forum]

playing darktide as flight simulator

[humble shoal]

cherub gaming

[languid meadow]

damn they have better cosmetics than we do

[tough haven]

Servitor class, you sit and watch through vacant eyes as your character performs the tasks the party demands, while your consciousness is locked away in a corner of your lobotomized brain, just conscious enough to recognize your suffering, but not enough to act against it

[storm jungle]

thats your brain mixing it up with the guy in the robes there

[daring creek]

Hell yeah

[storm jungle]

which is normal tbh

[hollow lantern]

Maybe, its possible

I havent seen it in like

3 odd years

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/chipi-chipi-chapa-chapa-chipi-chipi-chapa-chapa-cat-boom-gif-16673156326901780299

[storm jungle]

Im autistic af, believe me it was always 4 characters

[hollow lantern]

It might be robes+the skull being in it

[tough haven]

Give me the technomat class

[storm jungle]

^

the mind plays tricks

[humble shoal]

when will zealot get a funny pope hat

[storm jungle]

never because thats reserved for big shot popes

[hollow lantern]

I think it was the robes

[storm jungle]

deffo the robes/hood

[hollow lantern]

Cause iirc everyone was speculating on the robes at the time

[daring creek]

Can't wait for meowskulls to be added next month 🙏

[humble shoal]

I mean couldnt we just... find one i nthe cathedral

[daring creek]

So huge

[storm jungle]

it was mostly like

"is that a sniper class?"

due to his staff lol

[celest dome]

Zealot, Ogryn, veteran and Psyker

[hollow lantern]

In retrospect ig thats just psyker with cooler cosmetics than what we have now

[rocky gale]

Can we get the Vermin Supreme head cosmetic?

[daring creek]

Dilara it's impossible for it to be an Xeno right like. Given the actual setting

[rocky gale]

No

[daring creek]

Its 90% gonna be admech right??

Right??

[rocky gale]

Inquisition works with Xenos all the time

[humble shoal]

dilara cant say nothin

[celest dome]

Number of people who argued it was an Eldar Ranger 💀
Like who in their right mind would hold a sniper like that

[crystal forum]

hot

[languid meadow]

Holy shit im so stupid that I just saw the vermin supreme in that model

[daring creek]

Dilara I will give you half a million.

[hollow lantern]

All the time is an overstatement tbf, more likely justifiable via the RT

[rocky gale]

All the time

[tough haven]

It’s gonna be neither to piss people off

It’s gonna be underhive scum

[daring creek]

Mmmm probably!

Yeah

[crystal forum]

it wont be admech

[hollow lantern]

It the new class is literally Swagger I'm gonna be very disappointed ngl

[humble shoal]

its a noble

[crystal forum]

if it's admech i'm eating a shoe

[tough haven]

No guys trust me it’s definitely gonna be GSC

[tough haven]

Spyrers would be insane

And broken as fuck

[tough haven]

Then prepare to be disappointed

[hollow lantern]

You can't prove any of the classes we currently have are not GSC as long as they have a helmet on

[daring creek]

Yo can time go faster

[hollow lantern]

I normally am, life does that to you.

[daring creek]

I gotta see it

Please

[tough haven]

Not if you keep asking

[crystal forum]

just play darktide

[daring creek]

Play....Darktide?

You're telling me

[hollow lantern]

Play other games instead of DT for a week

[celest dome]

There have been cases of Xenos working inside or alongside the Inquisition before, and soon will happen in Dark Heresy by Owl Cat (both Eldar and Kroot).
So lorewise, not impossible.
Narrative wise, not impossible, Grendyl seem quite particular.
Gameplay wise it is strictly the weapon aquisition and modification system that would not work as is (but could easily be made to work by introducing a specific NPC for them

[daring creek]

To play video games? To have fun in video games?

[crystal forum]

it wont be admech and it wont be xenos

[daring creek]

I'm punching you

[crystal forum]

and everybody will be disappointed

[humble shoal]

it will be clonegrim

[daring creek]

Space marines

Its gonna be space marines

Trust.

[hollow lantern]

You die as soon as you load into the mission

[humble shoal]

clkonegrim technically lives

[hollow lantern]

My bad, thinking of Clorus

Clone Horus

[crystal forum]

clorox

[daring creek]

It'll be a korpsmen trust

[humble shoal]

yeah your thinking of ||whoreus supercock||

[daring creek]

You play as a krieger and your class just fucking dies

[hollow lantern]

Real Fulgrim is trapped in a mirror or something right?

[daring creek]

Lmfao

[dapper gyro]

You are a Korpswoman.

[humble shoal]

clonegrim was just given to trazyn

[rocky gale]

Na

[hollow lantern]

Right right right, thats it

[daring creek]

That could mean immense potential for doomed yuri between fem krieg and fem vet

It will happen

Trust

[hollow lantern]

Idk

I simply hope new class is fun

[dapper gyro]

Fem krieg won't talk.

[hollow lantern]

And a little more balanced than release Arb lmfao

[dapper gyro]

Just moans

From getting hit by the heretics I mean.

[daring creek]

"For the Emperor, guys"

"We sure shot em up, huh fellas"

[humble shoal]

slaaneshi cultist class

[dapper gyro]

Still sounds wrong, wtf with me today...

[hollow lantern]

Its the entire server most days ime

[rocky gale]

6th class will be Noblewoman with pretty dresses

[hollow lantern]

Thats one of the Munda Bounty Hunter models, right?

[dapper gyro]

15+, so it is good to go!

[storm jungle]

god still cant get over the thigh

UAAGH

[storm jungle]

Shes a rebel leader of the Outcasts

[rocky gale]

Lady Credo

[storm jungle]

^

[dapper gyro]

Better than yours?

[storm jungle]

Cunty as fuck

[celest dome]

Hired Gun

So narrative characters

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-catstor-gato-castor-cerebrito-sabiondo-gif-12002557139688614332

[hollow lantern]

Gotcha

[celest dome]

Why is there tape on the glasses

[hollow lantern]

The outcasts are a new gang i imagine?

[daring creek]

Broken

[storm jungle]

They have been around for a long while

[hollow lantern]

Whats awhile?

[storm jungle]

they are basically anyone who opposes the simple social stratas of Munda

basically like Edgerunners ala Cyberpunk

[hollow lantern]

Anything newer than like, 4 years is "new" to me

[storm jungle]

Ever since House Helmawr has been in power

so like centuries lol

[celest dome]

Narratively they've been there the whole time

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah narratively nah

lemme check the lexi

[hollow lantern]

Nah I mean model wise tbh

[celest dome]

Miniature/relevance wise, kinda new

[rocky gale]

Now she's like actively challenging Helmawr's power

[storm jungle]

And actually succeeded

[hollow lantern]

Like they as models are relatively new or not released in the first 2 or so waves

[storm jungle]

which is peak

[celest dome]

Tbf, there is just Lady Credo, and maybe the Prophet that are models that are part of it

[queen laurel]

she won the succession right

[storm jungle]

Yeah

[rocky gale]

Releasing important prisoners which they've locked away for centuries

[storm jungle]

Helmawr died around the time the entire starting phase of the succession crisis

well "died"

[dapper gyro]

Killing the upcoming competitors...

[storm jungle]

more like placed in cryo

[celest dome]

Do you think we will get a model of Munda's Psychic Colossus ?

[daring creek]

I really want new missions icl

[storm jungle]

100% likely

[hollow lantern]

Not pulling a Vect?

Shame

[storm jungle]

Munda is really good at like

making random ass badass minis

[hollow lantern]

Munda is probably the best GW game no one plays

[storm jungle]

No one?

everyone plays Munda lol

why do you think they have a fuck ton of miniatures

[hollow lantern]

Not ime

[celest dome]

Munda is quite popular in Europe

[storm jungle]

Your fate is meaningless

[hollow lantern]

I can neither find Munda players nor a league around me, regrettably

[dapper gyro]

You are everyone?

Are you me?

[storm jungle]

Helmawr has been pulling a Vect ever since hes been in power

aka bidding everyone against each other

[dapper gyro]

We alpha legion now?

[celest dome]

Worst character arc

[hollow lantern]

I mean specifically faking your own death to gather your political rivals at your funeral and then to kill them all in one fell swoop like the master tactician you are

[storm jungle]

The thing is hes not that smart

hes always been an fat arrogant fuck

[hollow lantern]

Love Vect

[storm jungle]

Vect is peak tyrant

[hollow lantern]

One of the most amusing characters in warhammer imho

[storm jungle]

i love him

[queen laurel]

i also read bastion of law the policemen are in shambles

[storm jungle]

Hey mate i got you this coffin as a gift

opens coffin

blackhole

[hollow lantern]

Hes such a funny bastard

Emphasis on bastard

[celest dome]

Vect has skills, Helmawr is just the last Nepo baby to have taken the throne

[storm jungle]

^

its why his daughter instantly takes over

[rocky gale]

Love the fact she invited all her siblings to come swear allegiances to her and then slaughtered those that showed up, then because of it had no one to help her when her succession was actually challenged.

[celest dome]

And she lost it all
And nearly died to her ||sister or cousin, not sure what the deal with Hawk lady is again||

[rocky gale]

Killing all the people willing to support you isn't the best way to solidify your rule

[wintry cloud]

Who is this?

[queen laurel]

i mean she's a helmwawr

After reading in their family tree she doesn't seem to be from the smartest family line you know

[rocky gale]

Haera Helmawr

[celest dome]

One of Helmawrs kid

Loved her old model

[rocky gale]

13th recognised daughter of Gerontius Helmawr

[celest dome]

Despise her new one

[hallow saddle]

do we know whether Fatshark are sharing resources with Owlcat like with Arbites

[storm jungle]

Haera Helmawr, one of the successors of Governor Helmawr, she goes through a HUGE story arc in the necromunda codexes which are packed with lore

[hollow lantern]

All of the intelligence in the Helmawr family was siphoned by Kal Jerico

[dapper gyro]

Bad decision is the real theme of 40K.

[hollow lantern]

Unironically yeah

[rocky gale]

It's the sort of bad decision that gets played off as smart for some reason, thankfully this time it was shown to be incredibly fucking stupid

[storm jungle]

^

i love how they establish that too with Haera

where like shes literally been a Joffrey tier cunt since she was a child

so shes very much not that smart lol

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-applause-game-of-thrones-joffrey-good-job-gif-18266180

[hollow lantern]

What a good actor tbh

[crystal forum]

reminds me of the calebcity bit

https://youtu.be/3pJwua1DwAI?si=cpA4_8qrGIKR9V2J

[storm jungle]

such a shame he quit actor right after this lol

[winged jacinth]

Man jokaero being the next class is a funny joke but i would instantly pay $20 to play the monkey

[storm jungle]

no ironically yeah it would sell like crazy

[hollow lantern]

I cant imagine he needs money anymore

[winged jacinth]

All the voice lines
"Those karkers have us pinned!"
"OOH OHH AAAAHH OOOOOHHH"

[storm jungle]

god imagine

[crystal forum]

i would just make ape noises all day holy shit

[storm jungle]

all their dialogue is just "[sapien noises of confirmation]"

[hollow lantern]

They'd just construct the life disintegrator 9 million before you can blink

[humble shoal]

Mine would be named harambe

[crystal forum]

ogryns being best buds with the funny monkeys

[humble shoal]

My hive gangers name would be Tony-TightTush

[winged jacinth]

I think eldar is the only xenos class with any chance just because of how much alaitoc teasing they've done but i don't think its likely

[crystal forum]

if admech is added i'm naming him
C0CK-50 or something unoriginal like that

[humble shoal]

fairly certain the eldar that are referenced are probably drukhari

so hameonculus class

[winged jacinth]

Crescent moon and sword its alaitoc

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/brad-pitt-deal-yeah-right-agreed-i-would-make-that-deal-gif-15679299

[crystal forum]

larmoth you're not getting anything

[queen laurel]

Imagine they talk like the Hammond from Overwatch where they go oh oh ah ah and their translation devices go

no you armor headed idiot that's not how you configure a auspex

[rocky gale]

Or Ynnari

[winged jacinth]

not being able to translate jokaero speech is a really key aspect in pretending they're not real xenos

it might be possible but no one wants to try

[humble shoal]

the new class is an evorsor avatar of khaine

[celest dome]

Alaitoc match way more

[winged jacinth]

yeah sefoni literally says "crescent moon and sword"

which is a pretty definite description of the alaitoc sigil

[rocky gale]

Ynnari which is also a crescent moon and a sword

[remote wadi]

And a wow/dota character

[winged jacinth]

no its a horseshoe and a patriarchical cross lol

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-sure-jan-sarcastic-brady-bunch-gif-11590179

[winged jacinth]

i think the design process was stylizing a Y anyway

[humble shoal]

its a cross for genestealers

[winged jacinth]

but like
the ynnari symbol is just that symbol, the alaitoc is a sword and crescent moon explicitly

[storm jungle]

its literally a stylized egyptian ankh you fuckstick

you know, like most eldar symbols

[humble shoal]

no its a genestealer cross

[crystal forum]

no this is patrick

[storm jungle]

nah its the cross im gonna crucify you on

[winged jacinth]

i can see that now but its a pretty far departure to get at a glance lol

[humble shoal]

do the tiny ones

[storm jungle]

its really not, and i say this as a huge eldar nerd

[humble shoal]

itll be funnier that day

[winged jacinth]

makes symbological sense

[storm jungle]

its where all their rune iconography comes from

also you're dumb so

[crystal forum]

since when are you an eldar nerd

[storm jungle]

[winged jacinth]

i just mean the glyph itself is changed quite a lot, opening the top loop entirely and adding another crossbar

[storm jungle]

For like the last 10 years of my life

[crystal forum]

you have never shown any particular interest in eldar in this channel

[remote wadi]

I bet u skirmish nuubs at night

[crystal forum]

that's wild

[remote wadi]

[celest dome]

Did you never see her Elf profile picture before Sylvana or what ever

[crystal forum]

i didn't even know dilara had a favorite faction

[crystal forum]

no

[humble shoal]

you mean sylvanas

[storm jungle]

I only do when some grognard doesnt know anything about eldar starts spewing shit

[humble shoal]

[storm jungle]

otherwise I like all factions equally

[crystal forum]

you hate them all

[arctic talon]

She’s stuck doing Maw dailies

[remote wadi]

I don't love horde factions

[humble shoal]

I like all factions that use slavery

[remote wadi]

Besides that I like them all

If you need a horde to work Ur just flamer food not a faction

[crystal forum]

i like the guard. the secondary factions are fun too

[arctic talon]

So, Tyranids, craftworld eldar and Tau(if you don’t consider prison slavery), and uhhh

Leagues of votaan

I think that’s it

[humble shoal]

all but those

[clear sail]

Does anyone know what the lore reason for lucky bullet ogryn is?

[arctic talon]

Oh

[crystal forum]

nids dont use slavery tho

[humble shoal]

[arctic talon]

Lmao

[winged jacinth]

saying it should be instantly recognizable as an ankh is like if i posted this and went "are you stupid thats clearly ||"R"||

[arctic talon]

That stuff is just for gameplay

The infinite bullet stuff

[clear sail]

[humble shoal]

ogryn forgot he had an extrav bullet i9n pocket

[winged jacinth]

they took the two things about an ankh and changed BOTH of them lol

[remote wadi]

Hey lore wise the Psykers from darktide are very stable

Like heretic amounts of stable

[clear sail]

I like this

[storm jungle]

Mid.

Next

🗣️ 📢

[humble shoal]

any psyker that isnt savant is a heretic

by existing

too weak to be cuck chair food

[remote wadi]

True that's why I play tzeetch cultist psyker

And it makes sense lore wise since tzeetch hates nurgle

[queen laurel]

the savant it's not sanctioned by the way they are just enforcer trained

which is better than nothing but she isn't officially sanctioned by the imperium

[winged jacinth]

darktide psykers are pretty weird in terms of mapping to lore and tabletop psykers

[humble shoal]

close enough tbh

rogue trader psyker is stronger than the emperor

[queen laurel]

basically out of every single cycle they are the most professional but they are still far from sanctioned

[humble shoal]

and tzentch

[winged jacinth]

sanctioning is a whole process that makes you less vulnerable to posession, etc

becoming a sanctioned psyker is a ritual process not an administrative one

like becoming an astropath but not so hard it burns your eyes out

[remote wadi]

All it does is make u a cultist of the big E

Instead of some chaos god

[humble shoal]

eh

[winged jacinth]

i dont think we know the metaphyiscs for sure but thats as good a general explanation as any

reinforcing the emperor's claim to your soul to resist other entities that try and claim it

iirc the process is called soulbinding?

anyway if i have to name an admech i'm gonna get really mad about the character restrictions on names

the alphabet and hyphens come on i want to name my admech !:q or something

[vagrant fox]

p1-55 take it or leave it

[winged jacinth]

no numbers sorry

they'd HAVE to allow numbers for admech right?? people would riot

[vagrant fox]

my stupid dog has numbers and admech are basically just two legged dogs

[winged jacinth]

yeah and i don't know any database system with a field type that allows hyphens but not other nonletter characters

[hallow saddle]

i dont get why they cant just allow spaces either

[winged jacinth]

yeah i legitimately don't know of any character set that doesnt at least support the subset of ASCII members

there might be some technical limitation regarding spaces, a few ways that can happen but mostly by mistake

[crystal forum]

i've seen another game where devs updated to a newer version of unreal 4 and then any player who had a steam name with chinese letters didn't show up at all

i will always attribute this stuff to technical ignorance

or even better, when websites have a fucking character limit on passwords

[winged jacinth]

oh if you're expanding to like UTF 16 you are in hell

Meeting the unicode standard is one of those things you'd think would be like, doable

Its up there in terms of the hardest easy sounding tasks

[crystal forum]

well idk i'm not a software engineer but i'm sure those guys can figure it out

they have to be good at something right

RIGHT

[winged jacinth]

You have to understand unicode was insane from its inception
They wanted one text encoding for every character ever written in any writing system ever used

Heres the code block for toki pona, a toy constructed language no one has ever been a native speaker of

[celest dome]

Is there Klingon and Elvish ?

[winged jacinth]

It has a quenya block at least let me check klingon

This character is used in one phrase in a set of 15th century cyrrilic bibles ꙮ

All of this is completely ignoring that unicode supports ligatures and compound accents

[storm jungle]

holy shit dragon-tongue

[winged jacinth]

Doing one language is hard Doing every language ever is insane

If a fantasy or scifi series actually fleshed out its writing system you can write it in unicode

There's characters in it people don't know the meaning of they just wanted to be encyclopedic

[celest dome]

Oh do you need those hexadecimal num pad ?

[arctic talon]

Unicode is an evil clusterfuck

[winged jacinth]

⍼ might mean azimuth but no one has ever found a source document that actually uses it

[arctic talon]

lol

[winged jacinth]

I don't know how you type much of unicode

Alt codes will get you somewhere but once you start getting stuff like surrogate pairs?

[arctic talon]

Ultimately it’s not the worst

It’s the best that exists

The issue is it’s also a pain to work with sometimes

[winged jacinth]

It does work just don't roll your own unicode renderer

Or if you do cut accents and RTL

Lol

[crystal forum]

i just know the unicode for the war thunder emojis

[winged jacinth]

Emojis being part of unicode is pretty funny

[crystal forum]

also french " looks identical to english " when coding which is not fun

[winged jacinth]

It makes sense but the phrase "Emoji Consortium" always makes me laugh

[crystal forum]

the double "

whatever the name is

[winged jacinth]

Parentheses in English

Er fuck

Im fried

[crystal forum]

i thougt that was (

[winged jacinth]

Quotation marks

[languid meadow]

yes it's quotation marks

[crystal forum]

it legit took me many years to realize how coding works just because as a kid with french canadian keyboard i could never figure out how to do commands in minecraft

that could have been a good start at programming

[winged jacinth]

We actually have a pair of nonequivalent alternate quotation marks some programs (WORD) will "helpfully" switch you over to

The kind that's like double commas with one side inverted

Completely different characters that render identically in most places

[crystal forum]

there's also a unicode character that's just empty space but doesn't count as a space

which is very fun to prank people with in their code

[winged jacinth]

There's actually many of those with a wide variety of behaviors lol

Like the character that says DONT break the line here

[crystal forum]

and this is why machine language is superior

[winged jacinth]

A whole universe of invisible control characters

[crystal forum]

skip the whole human language part

[winged jacinth]

Also this shit

different characters in unicode some programs will "helpfully" switch for you

a throne is a coin

it's kinda neat in a weird way

They're weird square coins

with holes in them lol

[urban spire]

maybe thrones is just like

what's it called, the segmentum from dark heresy

local to that area anyway

[arctic talon]

yeah Thrones is what its called in Dark heresy

[arctic talon]

Solars might be vaguely based on coins with holes yes

but the fact they're squares is funky lol

[urban spire]

fun fact about coins with holes: it's so you can put a string through them

or it was anyway, these of days it's aesthetic

[languid meadow]

avatar has such cool world building

looking at each currency is cool

[urban spire]

i gotta play more wuxia games

[arctic talon]

yeah its fun

[storm jungle]

its kinda insane for a kids show ngl

[languid meadow]

yeah it is

[arctic talon]

earth kingdom money is like

literaly just chinese coins

lol

[urban spire]

we have two coins in norway with holes in them, but it's the smallest denomination of coin so basically nobody uses them, and the holes are too small for a cool string anyway

[arctic talon]

The fire nation ones are angular iirc

they're like

[arctic talon]

pentagons or something

yeah thats it

[languid meadow]

Air nomads dont have money and republic city uses notes

pretty sure the 3 nations still use coins during that time but I could be wrong

[arctic talon]

actually wait

[arctic talon]

the fire nation money

[languid meadow]

at least the earth kingdom does since they just refuse to do anything

[arctic talon]

is also based on chinese currency

lol

[tough haven]

I LOVE ATLA!!!

[arctic talon]

i couldn't find the actual part of it that was journey to the west, only prefaces and annotations talking about how cool and influential journey to the west is

[tough haven]

Such as?

https://www.amazon.com/Journey-West-Revised-Edition-Volume/dp/0226971325

Try this

if you want

I recomend this

[urban spire]

maybe, idk, i think i probably enjoy derivative works more lol

[arctic talon]

I can read chinese so I've never actually read it in English

[urban spire]

i am genuinely struggling to remember the titles of stuff since it's been a minute since i watched any

by which i mean about a decade

[arctic talon]

Dragon I think its called in English

is excellent

as in the movie is literally called Dragon

[urban spire]

and i don't want to just say house of flying daggers or w/e

[arctic talon]

ot that its name in chinese was creative

because it was just fucking 武俠 which is wu xia

[arctic talon]

look sometimes the popular/generic answer is good lol

[vagrant fox]

watch dragon gate inn

[urban spire]

fair

i watched a fun wuxia detective story a long time ago but in googling for it i'm learning that that's a pretty popular genre lol

might have been xianxia though tbf

which is another can of worms

(extremely good looking worms)

[wintry scarab]

Anyone seen that new halo. Oof, looks rough lol

[raven stone]

So I was reading the Shattered Legion rules and I noticed something really interesting in terms of bonus stacking which even has Lore implications.

For Horus Heresy.

Consider this: The Imperial Fist’s shattered legion rules allow even your basic Boltgun to just volley fire.

Then, you have the Alpha Legion: Their shattered legion rules is that all Volley Fire gain Precision (6+) I.e. if you luck out, you get to pick who dies.

Now, doesn’t this oddly stack very nicely with each other?

Now, didn’t the AL face off with IF as a “pre-Siege” of sorts?

And remember what happened to the Traitors when they reached the doors to the Throne in the Siege? They just lost all command chain coherency.

So, my daring, daring headcanon assumption: during their earlier attack, the AL didn’t just probe IF defences for weaknesses for Dorn to shore up/to report to Horus

They also took the opportunity to reverse seed loyalist members into the IF ranks

and so by the time the Siege proper rolled around, every time thr IF were blasting away with their Boltgun volleys

they were also assassinating Traitor officers by the dozen

[winged jacinth]

Xia novels if authors weren't paid by characters written

[urban spire]

i do like a xianxia novel

sometimes it's hard to find good translations though

[winged jacinth]

Me too (reading star gate now) but holy shit it shows how the authors get paid in china

Which i wasnt kidding is essentially per word

I use wuxiaworld

But i sub when im in a xia phase

I do have like 800 keys now

[urban spire]

i ask my girlfriend who knows this shit better than me, and she tells me if a good translation can be found or if i should go to hell

[winged jacinth]

Wuxiaworld has staff translators which is nice

If something gets picked up there's a bare minimum quality level and at this point i've probably read something else the translator has done

Those guys are something else

They'll be doing like 2 chapters each for 3 series every day

Star Gate is interesting in that the world WAS wuxia but with more technology 20 years ago but something happened and it's been becoming xianxia

[urban spire]

girlfriends have been bugging me to read a few things lately, but i don't remember off the top of my head

something called virgin road i think?

[winged jacinth]

The main characters teacher was like a classic rogue martial artist type who became a professor after his biggest rival became a supernatural

Not familiar

[urban spire]

oh no that's an isekai manga lmao

also light novels

[winged jacinth]

If somethings not licensed by WW i don't really keep track, they're the ones who negotiate legal distribution licenses

Ah for that i have a pirate feed of jnovelclub

[urban spire]

sky pride, that's the xianxia one

[winged jacinth]

A friend mirrors every upload onto an ftp server my public key is on

Yeah not heard of it but the name could easily be retranslated

I've basically given up on fanlations after my 1000th dropped webnovel lol

I used to be a novelupdates fanatic but shit just dies and no one ever picks it back up

Idk your tastes but as far as light novels im a big D-genesis shill

I like power scaling, within a limit.

[remote wadi]

Ok the more I read into Abaddon the more I believe chaos undivided arent that bad in comparison to the imperium

As in they kinda just trying to claim the rewards of their work

[low vault]

It's chaos

[remote wadi]

Eventho the meanings are atrocious the reality is the emperor used and abused aestartes as tools and the black legion sees throught it

They just said enough is enough if I did the hard work I get the reward

[remote wadi]

Yes but chaos undivided aren't slaves to gods

The whole point of it is humanity is their god

No emperor,no primarch,the warp gods are just tools
Their true god is humanity itself

Evento their definition of humanity is aestartes and strong willing not just the regular person

[low vault]

Word bearers?

night lords just skin people for fun

[remote wadi]

Word bearers aren't the black legion

They are also chaos undivided

[low vault]

they are undivided

[remote wadi]

But different believe

[low vault]

so is the black legion

[remote wadi]

Undivided is not exclusive to the black legion

Iron warriors,word bearers, night lords and the black legion are distinct

Evento they all chaos undivided

And all csm

Iron warriors believe in perterabo as the supreme leader
Word bearers whatever the gods want is our will
Night lords just want raw chaos
Black legion wants to rule over the empirium of man

[storm jungle]

They are.

Chaos is bad.

The Imperium is bad.

EVERYONE.

IS BAD.

https://tenor.com/view/orange-kitty-dancing-joust-memes-de-gatos-memes-gif-15564981694074768734

[remote wadi]

They are bad but they are the type of bad that was conditioned to be bad

[storm jungle]

just pick your flavor of evil and enjoy it my guy

[low vault]

???+

[storm jungle]

its genuinely not that deep

[rose thorn]

except gscs were peak

[storm jungle]

we enjoy our revolutinaries

kill the rich

also eat them if possible

[low vault]

and then they jump into the genepools

[storm jungle]

yeah its based

[remote wadi]

Abaddon would have been one of the best loyalist aestartes if the emperor wasn't abusive

[storm jungle]

remember people, its always morally okay to slaughter imperials

[low vault]

?XD

[storm jungle]

I mean

that part at least isnt untrue lol

Pov you hear the call of the star children:

Lmfao

god damn it

[unique bronze]

The fonie

[rose thorn]

when gsc get good rules ill buy some more gsc adn some necromunda stuff ot kitbash more dudes\

[remote wadi]

But since Abaddon went throught all the shit he did due to over powerful beings he couldn't beat he ended up saying fck the superiors we are the actual workers

[storm jungle]

It really wasnt that

well ok it kind of was

but it was also his love for Horus as a dad

so he'd follow him anywhere really

[low vault]

but they are still all CHAOS

[remote wadi]

At first yes

[low vault]

they serve the gods

[remote wadi]

After Horus heresy he was done with it

[rose thorn]

kill all primarchs

[low vault]

be it willing or not

[remote wadi]

Nah the gods serve abaddon

[storm jungle]

Agreed.

[remote wadi]

They all want him but he keeps rejecting them

He is the last golden egg in the chaos basket

[rose thorn]

whats that rebellion thatkilled like 80% of chinas population

[remote wadi]

Bile does serve slaneesh organically by being himself

But Abaddon legit is a god on his own right in terms of ideology

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

isnt that like

all of them

💀

[remote wadi]

Since gods represent ideas and he has his own

[rose thorn]

fair i mean the armed revolution that was like near the end of the warlord era

uhhh

[storm jungle]

Found it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion

[rose thorn]

oh eyah tahts it

[remote wadi]

And tbh legionaires and chosen kinda treat Abaddon kinda like a god

[arctic talon]

My favorite brother of Jesus

[remote wadi]

They plege their life's for the warmaster

[rose thorn]

i rmemebr yeah it was clsoet ot ehstart of eth warlord era idkchinese history that wlel

[arctic talon]

It’s like 40 years before it

[rose thorn]

jeuss christ lmao

[rose thorn]

yeah i thought he warlrod era was like 300 years long

i ddint realize it was like 20

i wanan make my gsc chinese dragon themed, the idea is basicallyt he there be dragons scenario for stellaris except the imperium came in

[remote wadi]

Ok the irl lore is wild

[storm jungle]

Chinese lore goes crazy

literally 40k tier shit

[remote wadi]

True

Mongol world conquest

(Chinese were the force that resisted)

[rose thorn]

i haev no clue how the gsc would spread

but using a nail stamper to put chinese dragons ons uff wiull be fun

[hallow plover]

Chinese cultivation stuff 💀

[storm jungle]

Whenever in doubt

read the cult lore pages in the 8th codex

theres some REALLY cool shit

[rose thorn]

lol

ill do that now

[storm jungle]

yeah remember

the codexes literally add that shit specifically to inspire folks like us for homebrew

so its not simply just aimless flavor text

[nocturne crest]

So you can play Calgars in two ways?

[rocky gale]

Yep

The new model isn't a replacement, it's a variant

You can either play him in Terminator armour or in Gravis armour, both have seperate rules

Only restriction is you can't use both in the same list

[rose thorn]

what baout his side bitches

[arctic talon]

Side bitches are only with gravis

So we’re back to the 8e codex

In essence lol

[rocky gale]

Yea Termie version rides solo

Well it can still join units, it just doesn't have them by default

[arctic talon]

We have 2 Calgar sheets in the codex again

lol

[opaque coyote]

Y'know I find it funny that Valve accidentally caused more morale damage from Russians than the USA ever had throughout the entirety of the cold war

[rose thorn]

holy shit gsc are just the fucking coolest

[storm jungle]

I was reading their 8th codex at work today can confirm, love the lore.

[rose thorn]

i completley forgot all of the cults you play, even the ones that are paupers princes etc etc

aer splinter cults

[nocturne crest]

So I know I was joking a while ago about a different gulliman model coming, but would GW actually do something like Calgar for Gulliman?

[opaque coyote]

Russians have mazlow hierarchy of needs go like this (from bottom to top)

First layer is Vodka
Second layer is Counter Strike

Then it goes to things like food and water

What

[rose thorn]

thank you pdf view for having no spaces

[storm jungle]

PROBABLY not? Primarchs are like single centerpiece models

[arctic talon]

A new Guilliman mini? Not for a while

They still have new loyalist primarchs to make

[storm jungle]

Told ya so, codex lore is peak

[arctic talon]

Cato has been due for a replacement since 6e

[opaque coyote]

GSC are nice since unlike Chaos Cults where they have to follow some aspects of the 4 gods

[arctic talon]

New calgar is really fucking weird

But it’s likely the current calgar mould is getting worn out

Which means he sold really well

lol

[opaque coyote]

GSC have their unique brand of absolute Tyranid caused insanity

For each different faction

[rose thorn]

OMFG THERES MORE CULTSSSSS

THE PYROPURGEEE

the last hierarch of the evergrid

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if there is a tierlist for GSC cults.

[rose thorn]

cult of the satr saviors

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/opening-one-eye-splinter-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-peeking-taking-a-peek-gif-7244381757658653244

Splinter you say

[opaque coyote]

Although I kinda wonder how the hive mind reacts to how fucking wild some of the cults are .

If we're being serious, probably no reaction because it is an Eldritch hive mind.

But like...

[storm jungle]

It doesnt care in the slightest.

[opaque coyote]

It would be funny if the Hive mind does a mental double back on some of the wacky ass cults

Huh, neat.

[rocky gale]

Although tbf we had Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles instead of ninja, so maybe our version was different

[opaque coyote]

Hero Turtles wtf

[storm jungle]

UK censorship

[rocky gale]

Yea Ninja was seen as too violent

[storm jungle]

"Ninja" is too dangerous

[opaque coyote]

huh

How the fu

Did they at least censor things like

Pirates?

[nocturne crest]

I need to see if Nunchucks are legal in the UK.

[opaque coyote]

To keep consistency

[storm jungle]

They arent i think?

or back then the ywerent

[rocky gale]

https://youtu.be/uVFuNrjKk2A

[nocturne crest]

Yep. They're banned.

[rose thorn]

i comlpetelty fuckiung forgot how does imperiums telecommunication work

[opaque coyote]

...yeah I now feel sorry for whoever lived in the UK

[raven stone]

Cult of The Four Armed Emperor.
Just because of the ironic name.

[rose thorn]

ive bene told 5 times and i never remember

[arctic talon]

Normal telecommunication for vox/phones

There’s more advanced stuff with noosphere

But it’s all wired or radio based

[opaque coyote]

Honestly now I'm wondering how their renditions of the Emperor looks

[arctic talon]

Like irl internet

lol

We use a fuck ton of cables

[nocturne crest]

Wait, I'm wrong. They're legal to own, but they can't be carried in public.

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/cable-underwater-shark-yummy-underwater-cable-gif-10935550427068792581

Kinda imagine like a fucked up mixture of the Emperor with Tyranid features

[rocky gale]

Yea in Hero Turtles Mikey wasn't allowed his nunchucks, so he had a grappling hook instead

[opaque coyote]

Maybe doing the Baphomet gesture

[opaque coyote]

...

Wow the UK was fucking lame

Good god

[rose thorn]

uuhg i love this unit so much

[opaque coyote]

What next? They censored Raph's Sais? Leo's Katana?

[rose thorn]

is there a sound based genestealr cult?

[opaque coyote]

Actually they probably did

[rocky gale]

Nunchucks were like the perfect combination of seemingly harmless and easily makeable, so lots of kids were making their own nunchucks and then injuring themselves using them

[arctic talon]

No

[storm jungle]

I dont think so no

[arctic talon]

There’s a propaganda heavy one

But no sound

[opaque coyote]

Seriously.

That's the reason.

I

Okay

There's a thing called WATCHING YOUR FUCKING KIDS

[arctic talon]

Remember

[rose thorn]

welp time ot rip off a love craft story- is the one where the guy hears voices in radio static love craft?

[arctic talon]

A Glock is a traditional Kung fu weapon

(On some lists)

[storm jungle]

Speaking of, man i should read the 9th and 10th GSC codexes

[nocturne crest]

Blame Thatcher and the conversatives.

[rose thorn]

heard 10 has even less than 9th

[arctic talon]

It’s got more

[rocky gale]

You forget that Boomers needed PSA videos to remind them that they should hug their children

[rose thorn]

oh fr?

[arctic talon]

By like 3 pages 💀

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

It’s not a lot

[rose thorn]

lmao

[storm jungle]

ELITE

[arctic talon]

8e is still better

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

LOL

LOOK

I gotta correct misinformation

Also it’s got a big fat painting/hobbying section

[rose thorn]

1 page for the new unit, 1 page for the narritaive

[arctic talon]

If that matters to you

lol

[rose thorn]

wahts the 3rd new page? art?

[storm jungle]

Yeah ill likely skimread, im mostly looking for some new-ish cult homebrew inspo-text like ones Maggie was reading

[arctic talon]

I meant 3 pages of lore

Sorry lol

[opaque coyote]

Y'know despite it all, I actually want to visit London.

It sounds nice. At least for a short vacation. Exploring all the ||stolen|| art pieces and shit.

And now I want to add "piss on Thatcher's grave".

[rose thorn]

9th does have the make yoru own cult section

which 9th's guard had too

AND SHOULD BE THE STANDARD

BECAUSE ITS COOL AS FUCK

[storm jungle]

codex writers that add tha tshit never get enough credit

Literally

BECAUSE CODEXES DONT CREDIT PEOPLE ANYMORE

[rocky gale]

I miss the rules 9th had for making custom detachments

[rose thorn]

ME TOO

[opaque coyote]

...

Why

[storm jungle]

Ward.

[opaque coyote]

Who decided that

What the fuck

[arctic talon]

Matt Ward

[opaque coyote]

Oh

[arctic talon]

Got death threats

So GW stopped lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that makes sense now

[nocturne crest]

London's nice if you got the cash.

[storm jungle]

He got harrassed to shit, so GW reclined from ever crediting people that worked on codexes.

[arctic talon]

Also he wasn’t the only codex writer

Who got death threats

[rose thorn]

whow as mattw ard again?

[arctic talon]

Ward just got harassed the most

[opaque coyote]

Still weird to permanently take away credit though.

[arctic talon]

The 5e nid codex

[opaque coyote]

Instead of a temporary measure

[arctic talon]

Was really poorly received as well

And the dude got a ton of them

[rose thorn]

also they credit them sometimes mostly for art and credit them sometiemsi n white dwarf interviews

[raven stone]

If you aren’t avert to meeting IRL drop a note lol

[rose thorn]

idk if its in book yet

[storm jungle]

Hes a GW old guard, wrote tons of lore alongside people like Gav for GW codexes and other stuff. Hes also the main writer behind Vermintide 1, Vermintide 2 and Dorktide still working closely with FS, like to give you an idea he was also very much involved with the lore stuff for the Arbites DLC as well, hes a really cool dude.

[opaque coyote]

God I fucking hate fanbase sometimes.

Can't even say it's exclusive to Warhammer because like I know fandoms who have done similar shit

[arctic talon]

He also has written some shit lore but whatever

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH THAT MATT WARDDD

[arctic talon]

He’s written more decent to mid stuff

Then not

lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes just a normal guy

[opaque coyote]

I think he wrote most of the Newcrons stuff

[storm jungle]

he did

[arctic talon]

Yeah

And necrons are peak

[raven stone]

He…messed up with Ultras and GK, but yea, got blown out of proportions

[storm jungle]

hes soley responsible largely for the Newcrons we got now

[rose thorn]

thats waht happens when you have to write space mariens

[storm jungle]

I think that codex had like 3 writers, Ward just got top credit too

[arctic talon]

He’s written non shit marine lore as well

[arctic talon]

Codex UM was just him

[opaque coyote]

It seems like he just fucked up on some things but succeeded in a lot also.

Also he once made fun of PETA

So

[arctic talon]

GK was 3 writers

lol

[opaque coyote]

6/10, needs more sister blood

[rose thorn]

IM THINKING OF TWILIGHT ZONE

[arctic talon]

Codex UM got turned into codex space marine last minute

Lul

[rose thorn]

not love craft

[storm jungle]

The Sisters thing he openly admittedly he simply did to make the GK seem even more evil "end justify the means"

he has admitted his mistake and that iwas just a hiccup on his behalf

which is fine imo

people REALLY got bothered by it incessantly tho

[opaque coyote]

I still find it funny that the guy who kinda popularized cosmic horror as a concept, along with being severely problematic in terms of race, is named

Lovecraft.

Actual Kojima tier irony

[rose thorn]

welp time to make a genestealer cult that hears the voices of the void in radios and shit, their primary goal is to spread the sounds of tehir god which sounds like utter insanity to everyone else

[arctic talon]

The moment he started becoming less racist he got sick and died

[rose thorn]

easiest pen of my lfie

[arctic talon]

💀

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the fanbase definitely overreacted. I think everyone did know what Ward was intending.

Make the glorified CIA but for Daemons be the...
Glorified CIA but for Daemons.

[rose thorn]

didnt the imperium use psykers for long range communication?

[opaque coyote]

Still stupid but definitely an overreaction

[opaque coyote]

Still do. It's just inconsistent

[arctic talon]

Yes
