I literally said narratively I didnt even say aesthetics

crystal forum
#

who tf cares about the narrative it's a guard regiment. none of them have good backstories except cadia

#

because cadia is the only one with any actual lore

surreal nest
#

catachan are cool as shit

#

still one dimensional but i like the aliens vibe

crystal forum
#

wdym one dimensional it's the guard dude 😭

surreal nest
#

being in the guard doesn't mean you just exist as a trope they can have good and engaging stories

urban spire
#

i don't like death world shit

valid needle
#

Mf has never heard of The Calibanite Jaegers

urban spire
#

it feels like aping fascist "hard times make hard men" rhetoric too uncritically

#

the guard is the numbers faction it's meant to be faceless!!!

celest dome
urban spire
#

i know the reasoning i just don't like it

#

it's fremen shit

surreal nest
crystal forum
#

it legit isn't

crystal forum
#

just because they literally cover their face doesn't make it different

valid needle
crystal forum
#

you're a nobody who will die in 5 minutes as a guardsman

surreal nest
#

I am not saying krieg are faceless because they wear masks oh my god

crystal forum
#

any main character story is already ruining the whole vibe of the faction

#

which is why i always say the tanith series is a space marine series disguised as guard books

#

cadia stands does this perfectly. lots of perspectives and most of the characters die

urban spire
#

actual humans make for much better reading than hypno-indoctrinated super soldiers

dapper gyro
#

Krieg is a death world, btw.

crystal forum
#

cadia stands is S tier guard book

surreal nest
#

krieg are literally drones i dont care about them narratively its completely different from guard and their humanity and their interactions

urban spire
#

i kinda like kriegers better because they legit are traumatized to shit

crystal forum
#

krieg aren't drones

#

they literally do talk and do normal shit

#

you've been ruined by meme lore

urban spire
#

they are trained to see themselves as worthless, that doesn't mean they are

#

they are humans with all the associated complexities

surreal nest
#

I have literally read some dialogue and interactions between them but yeah i read meme lore! shovels!

dapper gyro
#

Krieg is already broken, which should make them more vulnerable to chaos.

urban spire
#

i want better krieg stories, i want them discovering their own worth and having to deal with that in a setting as bleak as 40k

dapper gyro
#

But plot armour is thick, especially with a certain audience.

crystal forum
#

oh hey i have a hardback version of krieg which i'm selling rn

surreal nest
crystal forum
#

coincidentally

#

only a 15% markup

#

it's a good price i swear

urban spire
#

i feel like this conversation is a bit more hostile than it needs to be

dapper gyro
#

Funny enough, Cadian stuff are good because their troops express more emotions.

urban spire
#

i like gaunt's ghosts because of the focus on the characters

crystal forum
#

emotions like "the planet fell before the guard did" and "man i miss cadia"

#

a whole range of emotions with those cadians

urban spire
#

the story itself is often kinda silly, especially with how often dan abnett just makes shit up

surreal nest
crystal forum
urban spire
#

more talking about how he writes enemies

crystal forum
#

yeah im saying that too

urban spire
#

i don't think characters having arcs and personalities is a space marine trait, i think humans often have those in stories

crystal forum
#

nah they do get arcs sometimes

urban spire
crystal forum
#

im just saying tanith have massive main character syndrome

#

like annoyingly so

urban spire
crystal forum
#

the whole world revolves around the tanith in their books

#

it's like they're not even part of 40k sometimes

urban spire
#

often to their detriment i think

crystal forum
#

but that's just how abnet writes

#

barely fucking caring about the wider setting

surreal nest
#

me when the gaunt's ghosts show up in the middle of my 40k game and fucking explode my captain

urban spire
#

i love him for it, i think he makes the setting better when he writes about it

#

his inquisitor novels especially

crystal forum
#

i think his approach to 40k is he just has his own plans laid out for a story then goes with it

surreal nest
#

i hate that gaunt's ghosts actually have a ruleset it feels like a marvel crossover

urban spire
#

every planet in the inquisitor novels has a personality, he bothers to characterize cities and social classes

crystal forum
#

it often feels to me like 40k is just a side project to his marvel stuff

surreal nest
#

I did not know he did marvel too

#

That makes so much sense

crystal forum
#

YEP

#

now you know why primarchs act the way they do

surreal nest
#

maybe krieg are goated

crystal forum
#

anyways yeah abnet is an actual rock star in the pop culture world

#

he's done stuff for everything

urban spire
#

there's a planet in one of the inquisitor novels, i don't remember which one it's been a long time. ravenor i think? it has carcinogenic acid rains, gampers (fellas with big umbrellas) sell their services to people who get caught in the rains, and folks who can't afford them stick bits of blessed paper to their burns, hoping it'll stop them getting cancerous

#

none of that is relevant to the story but it makes the place feel so much more real than if he'd just not bothered

crystal forum
#

yeah he makes normal day to day imperials feel alive

urban spire
#

some of the entries in the crime and horror series did this too

crystal forum
#

which is just a flashbang to you if you come into eisenhorn after only reading space marine books

urban spire
#

that kind of writing is why i still like 40k

crystal forum
#

like wtf how is this hive scum acting like a human being

#

i also like how he makes all the planets feel very unique

urban spire
#

i think that stuff is so much better than anything with space marines in it, it's also why darktide is so good to me

crystal forum
#

darktide is pretty boring aesthetically sadly

#

it's just generic hive

surreal nest
#

its my generic hive

urban spire
#

gaunt's ghosts is military fic but it still sweats the small stuff, planets, cities, swamps and farmland all get characterized

crystal forum
#

a lot of abnet's planets feel more unique to me

#

especially in eisenhorn

urban spire
#

darktide has its moments

#

i love whenever i spot inspirations from stuff like blame! or, idk, knights of sidonia

#

less so the latter

#

tsutomu nihei is a huge artistic inspiration for some parts of tertium though

crystal forum
#

because of the megastructures right 🤨

urban spire
#

there's a specific panel that other works with megastructures love to reference, i'm tryna find it

crystal forum
#

ok but blame! didn't invent the concept of megastructures

#

that's kinda annoying when i hear it

urban spire
#

it's hugely influential, that's not a secret or anything

urban spire
# urban spire here

like the start of one of the missions has us passing through this space, lightning and everything

urban spire
crystal forum
#

it is my life goal to inform weebs that the japanese have never invented anything

#

even their fucking language is copied!!!!

celest dome
#

And it is a Quebecois that say that KEKW_ogryn

urban spire
#

they invent cool things from time to time

crystal forum
#

😤

surreal nest
urban spire
#

i'm normal, it's a normal post

crystal forum
#

see this is what they do over there

#

somebody brings them new stuff

#

and then they go crazy on it

#

50's western animation getting turned into anime

#

and then henta

#

the cycle of life

urban spire
#

idk feels like kinda a narrow view of japan

crystal forum
#

they never invent shit because they're an insular culture

#

and also literally isolated

#

pisses me off when some weeb starts talking about how most western media is inspired by anime or some shit

#

they copied us!!!

urban spire
#

that wasn't really where i was going with it at all

#

and i don't think it's super productive to think of it in terms of us vs them

#

like who is even "us"?

#

i'm from norway, am i part of us?

crystal forum
#

non japanese people

#

i just hate weebs

#

in general

#

and japan

#

broadly

urban spire
#

no need to hate things for being from a culture

crystal forum
#

there absolutely is a need if that culture is xenophobic as fuck

urban spire
#

that trait is hardly unique to japan

crystal forum
#

japan is very much unique in their blatant xenophobia

urban spire
#

you seen america lately?

crystal forum
#

even by east asian standards

urban spire
#

the uk?

crystal forum
#

which is a wild bar to cross

surreal nest
crystal forum
#

japan already had that legalized 😭

#

if you think america is bad japan is just worse in every way lol

surreal nest
#

they have concentration camps?

urban spire
#

it was really bad when japan invaded three iraqs at once

crystal forum
#

yeah just forget what they did to china and korea

#

something they still have never apologized for

urban spire
#

that's the type of shit empires do

#

which is not a defense of it in any way

#

i think empire is disgusting and should never be practiced, but i'm getting sidetracked

crystal forum
#

if you were to give japan anywhere near the world power that america has they would be doing way worse shit

urban spire
#

a culture can have bad things and good things at the same time

#

i don't think every american is bad because the government is putting children in cages right now

surreal nest
celest dome
#

Do we have to do a "worst country" competition ?

surreal nest
urban spire
#

i just don't think we should write off an entire culture because the government sucks

crystal forum
#

im also very annoyed at how weebs will excuse blatant racism as just cultural differences

surreal nest
#

america regularly plays with the global economy just because they want to its weird

crystal forum
#

im not even talking about the japanese government which is WAY worse

urban spire
#

i'm trans and gay, i'm very familiar with weebs telling me that japanese culture is just naturally superior in the way they oppress people like me, and that anything japan does to improve a little as a culture is just "western corruption"

#

do you see what i'm saying here?

crystal forum
#

oh i could talk hours about how much i hate japanese governemnt

#

the ultimate late stage capitalist regime

urban spire
#

the worst weebs will tell you that if a manga is in any way kind to a trans girl it's either an evil translator or it's the west corrupting their glorious culture, but nah, there's just people in japan who are cool with trans people existing

celest dome
valid needle
urban spire
#

you shoulda seen the steam forums when bridget came out as trans in guilty gear strive, that shit was outta control

urban spire
#

yeah grummz, captain breastmilk himself

crystal forum
#

most weebs i've seen just thinly veil their shitty beliefs by liking the conservative japanese culture

urban spire
#

good example

crystal forum
#

because yeah if you're a shitty right winger you'll like japan

#

wonder why

urban spire
#

there are people trying to improve the culture too, like gay marriage was recently legalized, which is a huge step in the right direction

crystal forum
#

recently!!!!

#

also japan's view of queerness is weird

urban spire
#

yeah? should we dismiss the culture because it's struggling?

#

yeah it's different from ours, they're largely indifferent to trans people and WAY more harsh on gays

crystal forum
#

they're much more open to it then it would seem from the conservativeness

#

and more open to kinks

#

i find it odd

urban spire
#

they didn't get the full christian colonization breakfast

#

just the american economic colonization effort

#

though not for a lack of trying

crystal forum
#

they got major hit by catholicism back in the day

urban spire
#

it was REAL BAD for the catholics

crystal forum
#

yeah later on

#

it's still a pretty big part of their culture now i think

#

lots of catholic japanese

#

wait no nvm

urban spire
#

still a minority, doesn't help that hiroshima was kinda the christian capital of japan

crystal forum
#

holy shit only 0.34%

urban spire
#

that's still a lot of people

#

but yeah, minority

crystal forum
#

that's tiny man

#

america is like over 60%

urban spire
#

american christians are funny with the numbers, they count all the sects as christian

#

it's not like it's 60% fundamentalist bible thumpers over there, it's mostly folks who go to church once a year at christmas

crystal forum
#

anyways i hate weebs

#

really is the main point here i guess

urban spire
#

yeah that's fine

#

weebs largely hate weebs too

crystal forum
#

and i'm only interested in japanese swords for NON WEEB reasons i swear

urban spire
#

not as good as norse

crystal forum
#

is there a term for norse weebs

#

neebs

urban spire
#

same smithing techniques developed from adversity, no access to better materials from trade

urban spire
crystal forum
#

because there very much is a viking equivalent to the samurai lovers

urban spire
#

i'm norwegian, i get to be a little enthusiastic about my deeply problematic ancestors

crystal forum
#

see i'm lucky

#

nobody gives a shit about colonial new france so my history isn't diluted by pop culture

urban spire
#

I DO

crystal forum
#

but like everybody thinks your ancestors were nude vikings

urban spire
#

i read up on that shit i know what france did

dapper gyro
#

France did a lot of shit to either of the places I live.

crystal forum
#

known for:

  1. destroying rome
  2. pillaging
  3. destroying rome
dapper gyro
#

Funny country

urban spire
#

see i'm proud of them for destroying rome

#

sacking rome was great, they should have done that way more

dapper gyro
#

They waged war against everyone, even themselves, no discrimination.

crystal forum
#

i feel like the british hold a grudge against vikings for it

#

and i genuinely dont know why

urban spire
#

pff nah most modern brits have viking ancestry

#

loads of places in england literally named in old norse

surreal nest
crystal forum
#

lmao

urban spire
#

hey i already made that joke

surreal nest
#

🙁

urban spire
#

:C

dapper gyro
#

Saxons are more norse than central Europe.

#

But France changed the gene pool.

crystal forum
urban spire
#

kinda yeah, it's complicated and involves the english branch of nationalist racism

#

and i don't want to explain it but basically yeah

crystal forum
#

like there were so many similar cultures around the world

#

gauls and shit

#

but nah just vikings get the spotlight

#

i only know of gauls because of asterix comics

urban spire
#

basically my take is that i hate it when the vikings raided but i love it when they traded peacefully

#

trading culture from the 800s with massive reach like that is cool as hell, but people focus entirely on the raiding

#

and so did some of the vikings so, shrug

crystal forum
#

i think the raiding is cool because rome deserved to fall

#

hot take right there

#

might get me assassinated by a fascist

#

i only wish we could still be living in an era where the world's biggest empire is directly threatened by communities of independent fighters

urban spire
#

i think it'd be cool to have an era without empire

crystal forum
#

ikr

#

what if no world superpower

urban spire
#

anyway that's why i like 40k

crystal forum
#

part of me believes that we might be nearing that point since the world is getting actually incapable of supporting empires anymore

urban spire
#

nah empire just looks different, it's still very much active

crystal forum
#

not like they used to be at least

#

nothing will compare to the power that peak UK had

urban spire
#

we need fundamental changes to how economies and nations work to get rid of empire entirely, i reckon

crystal forum
#

absolutely yeah

#

but it's always a good start when there's no world police superpower stomping a boot on your face

urban spire
#

yeah

#

well it looks like we're entering the chinese century so that'll be interesting to see

crystal forum
#

i really think china will collapse the moment the US does

urban spire
#

even if their government wears socialism like leatherface wears a skin mask

crystal forum
#

my other hot take on that

#

the world is way too into globalism rn

urban spire
#

nah china has a solid industrial basis they are a lot less vulnerable to american collapse

crystal forum
#

everybody is supporting eachother

crystal forum
urban spire
#

they already do

crystal forum
#

the US and china are linked together so closely that one can't fall without dragging the other i'm sure

urban spire
#

maintaining trade relations with china is an embarrassing dance pretty much every nation on the planet that considers itself modern does on the regular

crystal forum
#

and china is also facing its own major economic issues

#

i might just be coping anyways

#

i dont want a superpower

urban spire
#

i mean we'll see right

valid needle
crystal forum
#

but i do want america to become the poorest country on earth for karma

urban spire
valid needle
#

Yes we’re talking about Vatican rome

urban spire
#

that one's not really related to the empire is it?

crystal forum
urban spire
#

i'm no catholicism expert but i thought the empire moved to constantinople

crystal forum
#

fascists believe this a lot

urban spire
#

oh yeah they do

crystal forum
#

goes with their fucking cycles of empires thing

#

hard men hard times and stuff

urban spire
#

functional empire is when your bridge breaks and a guy comes along to fix it, failing empire is when the bridge breaks and the local official tells you to cope

#

and that didn't happen because of immigrants or the dole or whatever

crystal forum
#

no you dont understand

#

america can directly be compared to 2nd century rome

urban spire
#

it's exactly the same

crystal forum
#

because uh brown people

urban spire
#

american empire failing because americans don't like how the people maintaining it look is kinda poetic i guess

crystal forum
#

there has to be a bell curve meme about "history repeating itself" where the end part is realizing that empires follow historical trends of devouring everything in their path until all that's left to eat is themselves

urban spire
#

nah infinite growth IS possible and in no way violates thermodynamics, economics is the one field to which basic physics don't apply

#

chemists just aren't as smart as shareholders

#

simply create the AI good, upload all the smart rich people to computers and then go do empire on mars, EASY

crystal forum
#

surely nothing can go wrong if every social service is removed so the 1% can be richer

#

there is no historical precedent to this at all

#

sad part is the human psyche has been so destroyed by late stage capitalism that i don't even expect americans to do anything about food stamps being cut

No

#

He is from some sad British boy animation studio

#

Named Flash Gitz of all things, an I am REALLY surprised the channel name still hasn’t been nuked

#

By GW’s legal team

#

But anyways, they started off doing fan animations, but saw GW doing their thing

#

So they made parody marines (the weird designs)

#

And just decided to turn the satire into even more played straight satire

#

No don’t ask me how that works

daring creek
#

Anyone else find it so fascinating how the arbitrators signature line "I am the Lex" to be so uniquely distinct despite it being nearly the same as saying "I am the Law!"?

Maybe its impact is due to the setting itself. Oh yes. That also implies they're encouraged to go mad with power.

I forgot I typed this in my phone last night

Parody hatred or vehicle hatred through smoothbrain fans?

storm jungle

their latest video literally riffs on female custodes being canon lol

storm jungle
#

Flashgitz are also schroedinger’s chuds, where the parody is so irony poisoned that even if they were serious you’d never be able to tell. These guys very obviously do not like the modern state of 40k lol

Doesnt help that they also knowingly appeal to the chuddiest portion of the fanbase.

#

Ive seen countless assholes use space king as a sockpuppet for being dipshits.

daring creek
#

I never took the "no girls allowed" thing seriously though. Also wasn't it female space whatevers they made a joke of lol

storm jungle
#

They made fun of the fact that companies like GW do mass-appeal to everyone which is "bad"

#

like... their latest video literally says women ruin everything lol

#

i very much doubt these are jokes, they just written that way as to save flak, these guys were open trans/homophobic years ago

#

idk why anyone thinks these are satire

You guys know ICE is just a police force

Enforcing laws that Ur gov already had

Regardless of the fact those laws are valid or not that's a whole different thing

I'm just saying if youre agaisnt the ice enforcing it's Ur government u gotta fight against not ice itself
