Depending on the sauce, baked beans can go way above 100 Celsius, which can kill.

just obliterate the hive spire

This is actually why it isn't always a good idea to kill the leaders straight off

it says pinpoint strike

which may or may not be orbital bombardment related

how do you even do a pinpoint strike when you cant even know where the patriarch is

but yeah killing the patriarch there went horribly

oh i thought it means like an elite team

I've seen what a patriarch can do. Anything short of an orbital strike is navy propaganda

yeah nvm lol

so maybe pinpoint means they deleted and entire hive city

which would be fucking hilarious

that would take hours

not gas lighting it, chat bots are designed to always agree with the user if you push it enough

because the way they've structured the LLMs is to please the user

It just kept spamming old memes at me so I'm not sure how effective I was

i just refuse to interact with them at all

never prompted anything never will

even though the google AI results keep trying to give me stuff i dont want

paper haven

Ai is pretty wild with how people are scrambling to make it profitable before it implodes under the energy cost

crystal forum
#

i looked up if i can hunt mice with a BB gun, which i've seen people do, and the google AI started telling me it's unethical to hunt

#

didn't fucking ask

paper haven
crystal forum
#

it isn't

#

if you know what you're doing

#

the BB stuns them or kills them immediately

paper haven
#

Why not use a 22?

crystal forum
#

cant shoot a 22 willy nilly

#

where i live at least

paper haven
#

That should also apply to a BB gun powerful enough to kill mice

crystal forum
#

thats what i wanted to look up

#

but the AI just defaulted to talking about hunting bad in general

#

like i dont need a moral question answer by a fucking LLM

paper haven
#

I've learned to completely ignore the ai suggestions

crystal forum
#

the idea that somebody might have their whole perspective of the world dictacted by a message bot

#

because that's what AI does, it always wants to give answers no matter how conceptual the question is

#

simple answers to complexe problems

jade holly

#

That too. The moment copyright catches up to ai, it's gonna get messy

young pecan
#

I'm not educated on if BB guns are actually effective but at least it's not glue traps

#

Those are actually horrific

paper haven
#

Yeah, I don't like glue traps

#

As for BB guns, I know that they can be because you can use air rifles to hunt deer

#

But that's like, high end stuff

dapper gyro
#

Mice is very small, you can definitely kill them with bb.

crystal forum

but a steel BB can kill a mouse easily

i used to watch a british guy who would do it

So what would happen if Kirby ate the Emperor?

opaque coyote
#

Kinda like that but bigger and flaming

Also long hair instead of the green hat

Very important

Besides that, pretty much the same since Kirby already eats Gods for breakfast

The Chaos Gods stand zero chance against kirby

Would the Imperium be fucked though since daddy Emps stepped off the throne

Yes.

Emperor is eaten

So probably

Going for 100% completion makes me want to cry

opaque coyote

He wouldn't want to

#

He is basically your friend

#

Kirby's universe outside of him and his friends is actually pretty miserable tbh.

Each boss has some sort of tragedy in it. Including things like a literal fucking Death Cult.

#

Where they literally sacrifice each other to summon the essence of Chaos and negativity itself: Void Termina. To cause the death of the entire universe.

#

Kirby is basically the power of friendship personified into a being.

#

A God of Hope.

A God of Love.

A God of Good.

Would Kirby be corrupted if he ate chaos

I feel like he's be fine

And somehow just absorb the power of chaos

And still be complete poyo

Basically for Kirby, the universe is dark.

He legitimately just doesn't care. He wants his god damned cake

#

It's a situation where the protagonist definitely doesn't care about his game's own lore

#

He literally cannot read anyways

#

He just wants to make everyone he loves safe and happy.

And to beat any meanies that want to ruin that.

If they are high on that Khorne juice and currently tweaking out

Definitely a melee though

xenos weapons would even include an ork club

I mean, you could get around it by adding some pointing bits to end of a pulse rifle.

Alternatively, turn into something similar to the lancer the guard use.

why wouldn't they though

use xenos weapons

the thing is though that chaos makes the stuff that you need

it can make really powerful weapons

they're generally more traditional/conservative

the DPP is arguably more left leaning

also the KMT claims they're socdems

both major political parties are sorta socdems

i just know china wont ever do it

nothing to gain from it except a bombed out island

because a naval landing just wont happen

paper haven

Yeah, they can't really manage it

#

Also the US will for sure bomb the semi conductor factories if they do try it so there isn't much they would gain, aside from like. Nationalism stuff

#

Ukraine really put the brakes on aggressive land grabs. Not because of fear of international retaliation, if anything it showed that the world won't really do much, but it did show that a few determined defenders can really embarrass you if you're not careful

even without the help of outside powers

it would be incredibly costly to invade taiwan

it being an island and all

paper haven
#

I agree. Amphibious assaults are a logistical nightmare even when unopposed

While I believe that the Chinese military is on average much better run than the Russian military, a ton of their equipment is Soviet and they possess very little in the way of large ships capable of moving troops and equipment.

Don’t worship me but also get on your knees and worship me

speaking of

#

I was reading the Black Book sfor 30k recently

#

and man its amazing how fucking askew the narrative in them is

#

then again i guess they DO say at the start its written by a glazer

#

dont get me wrong though still very kino books

near wasp
#

Honestly valid crashout

storm jungle
#

the amount of jokes they put in these is great

#

"HORUS WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING."

#

Its so good dude

Entire book is about my favourite loyalist chapter and my favourite traitor chapter

I couldn’t say no

Fuckkkkkkkkkk

#

It's my 5th day of ten hour shifts man

valid needle
#

Were the black books written before the original Horus heresy trilogy or after?

#

As in did the black books come before the 100 odd HH books or during

storm jungle
#

During it.

#

Tons of the stuff in them parallels the first few books, Bligh was close with the writing team, its why Black Books are so dense.

#

but a big portion of them was written from recollections in the novels

#

and largely covered more precise battle-stuff the writers themselves didnt fully cover

#

Betrayal came out in 2012, same frame as Know No Fear then went from there

valid needle
#

I wish I could get the physical black books but no chance

#

Same with arks of omen

#

I’m forever stuck with PDFs

storm jungle
#

Arks is somewhat possible but the actual Black Books themselves is like finding lost treasures, its essentially impossible unless you're a billionaire.

#

which is an absolute shame because the Black Books are legit works of art

#

the new HH rulebooks got nothing on these

valid needle
#

Yeah I love DA and NL but not enough to pay 1k pounds on one book

storm jungle
#

Yep lol

valid needle
#

My girlfriend would fucking execute me💀

storm jungle
#

yeah stick to PDFs, safer that way

Dunno about gender, but mushrooms do have like 30000 sexes

in the context of warhammer thats funny

remote wadi

Look I may not agree with the Warhammer main community at everything

But you can't just change 40 years of a franchise that Ur community doesn't support randomly

That's corporate suicide

no you'd have to make it a retcon

not out of a "fans of the ip we own don't want this change, fuckkk lets not do it" it's a "ay we're gonna lose money if we go ahead with this, fire all our writters and let the janitor write the new drukhari codex"

remote wadi
#

I mean yeah any company is trying to make money

#

Eventho we gotta point out valve is kinda showing a different policy

#

I mean they literally crashed their market for the community

#

But that pays in the long term

prime seal
#

primaris marines are a retcon too btw

remote wadi
#

I know

#

But primaris marines are 50/50

#

As in they are cool for tabletop gamers but hated by the lore community

#

But the tabletop gamers are the ones paying

prime seal
#

the other isnt even publicly traded

remote wadi
#

Yep

#

But the valve leader is a very smart old man

#

That was a gamer with ideas at first

#

Not gonna say he never made bad decisions

#

But he clearly is showing growth

prime seal
#

people need to stop thinking gaben does 100% of the decision making at valve

celest dome
#

Primaris are introduced in the narrative, not really a retcon, the Primarch are retcons.

prime seal

the guy eats borgar and plays dota, and buys 20 super yachts

no time for steam

And the Primaris are just there to introduce a new SM miniature dimension

He earned it tbh

I've had nightmares about fem custodes

where they had 0 chance of not being the underdawg forever

I see them teasing and making fun of me

#

One once took off their helmet

It was horrifying

I hope GW do an upgrade sprue in 11th Edition with female Custodes heads and enrage the chuds once again

Her skin was only slightly tan. The horror......the unbearable horror.....

I'll never understand how people were upset about nine ft tall muscle women

That's scary

daring creek

Why would you be scared of a 9 foot woman but not a 9 foot man.
Both are equally scary

daring creek
#

Well firstly

#

One is a man

#

The other is a girl

celest dome
#

And how does that play in the "scary factor" ?

daring creek
near wasp
#

I just hated how GW went about the retcon and the terrible story they released along side it

#

Like that's what I have an issue with. Not the fact that femstodes exist

prime seal
#

"they've always been there"

#

that was funny as fuck

daring creek
#

Why? Femstodes throw off the setting entirely. With the existence of them the setting pretty much lost any and all meaning.

celest dome
#

How ?

daring creek
#

Every event in warhammer literally no longer matters

celest dome

I remember a time where Custodes were basic human

I know that's bait but still pisses me off

Actually? Lmfao

Nothing matters in 40k anyways

Oh

Sad

prime seal

You know those Shirtless Custodes ? That's from a time where they weren't the Custodes that were hand crafted

#

Just human companion to the Emperor

prime seal
#

tell me this isnt written like something you'd say specifically because you know it would make people mad

daring creek
#

Yeah

#

Lmfao

#

Thats a little too on the nose lmao

celest dome
#

It was ripping the band aid
Cause the Custodes codex had leaked

I hope it is written to get chuds mad

Also the story they made to go along side the femstodes reveal was absolutely some of the dumbest most brain dead writing ever

I hate Grummz

Tbh even if it was true custodes were originally fem only

It still would not matter

near wasp
#

Yes!

daring creek
#

At all.

celest dome
#

I quite liked that one tbh.

daring creek
#

I would like to see how female astartes would happen. Like a mutated gene seed or whatever?

near wasp
#

Its like they entirely fucking forgot the palace is warded against teleportation

Didn't she use encripted code to by pass those wards ?

remote wadi

Female custodes are fine but pls don't make them shirtless

prime seal

#

I mean what

remote wadi
#

Slaneesh doesn't need more propaganda

Shirtless Custodes are from before the current Custodes appeared

remote wadi
#

I buy a subscription and minis and expect my investment to be paid in quality

near wasp
#

I was mostly joking dude

remote wadi
#

But yeah femstodes issue was it wasn't well written

#

In terms of introducing it

celest cedar
#

the femcustodes model looked exactly the same as the malecustodes no

near wasp
#

I actually loved the tithes episode with that femstodes

#

It was awesome

remote wadi
prime seal
remote wadi
#

Mostly cause the tabletop gamers do vote with their money

near wasp
#

I'll probably buy a few when I get around to my stores army

#

Day 352 of asking GW for more sos

prime seal
#

now people calmed down so gw has 2 choices, make the models, re-retcon women custodes again

#

and give us the Brothers of Muteness

celest dome
#

Seeing as the women Stormcast models are selling quite well, I really don't think they would do differently in the Custodes

remote wadi
#

Im not gonna buy the models just cause I'm a chaos gamer

#

I have no reason to buy custodes

celest dome
#

Hell, I've seen quite a few kitbash of Custodes using the Stormcast's part

remote wadi
#

Also let's be honest we have demonetes

near wasp
#

I'm a gamer who likes a bunch of factions and I'm single so I don't have to spend money on a lot so I buy models

storm jungle
#

and it was not made to "go with it", it was just a random codex blurb thats in every rulebook

#

if it wasnt a lady doing it i dont think anyone would care that much KEKW_ogryn

celest dome
#

The 2 that we saw about did very on brand stuff for the Custodes

#

The 2nd is jumping from ships on grav bikes with her company

storm jungle
#

^

near wasp
#

I haven't read that one

storm jungle
#

also we got a literal example of a custodian attempting to stab the emperor before being stopped

#

and he has to have 4 spears aimed at him to be told to stand down

#

trying to sneak a nuke thats never gonna be detonated to the palace isnt that weird lol

near wasp
#

Wasn't that valerian

storm jungle
#

That was Amon

#

all that matters is this female custodian was also stopped

#

so she basically failed the Blood Games like all before her, its not a big deal

shadow plover
#

and it's always nice to get new blood games attempts lore, quite literally the only really interesting part about custodes

storm jungle
#

^

#

I wouldnt say only but yeah lol

shadow plover
#

there are other interesting things but that's the only really interesting one

storm jungle
#

that short story is only infamous because people were debating for 2 days before the codex released about how its totally a typo and that its a Sister of Silence, an editing error or whatever

celest dome
#

Or a fake

storm jungle
#

That too lol

near wasp

yeet

also secondly theres nothing to disagree, this is a goofy ass setting

#

if you think sneaking a nuke to the throne room is "over the top" I got ices to break for you

#

this is the same faction who has terminator armor that can survive being shot by spaceship shells

#

or who solos an entire splinter fleet somehow

queen laurel
near wasp
#

That's some fucking glazing

storm jungle
#

It gets worse than this believe me

#

but yeah its basically just harmless codex fluff

vagrant fox
#

glazing? You mean cool asf

#

Every codex does some hardcore glazing to be fair but that might've been a little overboard but w/e

near wasp
#

True

storm jungle
#

gay staregryn

storm jungle
#

so i cant wait for the reaction to that 💀

shadow plover
#

We're supposedly getting a Heresy Custodian refresh soon so might get some then already

storm jungle
#

Yeah thats the one.

#

They will be compatible with 40k apparently

shadow plover
#

most likely

#

as they were when they originally released

storm jungle
#

I THINK its just the classic unisex head options treatment like all the mini ranges rn tho he said they will be getting female specific torsos if the players wanna use them which is very interesting as the Tithes one just used a default model for that femtodes

#

Im not really a fan but w/e

shadow plover
#

he?

storm jungle
#

Guy in a server im in, sometimes gives us miniature leaks which end up being correct.

shadow plover
#

And yeah I'd prefer an unified torso look

#

I see

#

they're pretty chesty already

storm jungle
#

Yeah lol so will see

#

im dreading the reaction so time to prepare my "Ignore this post" click skills again

#

🫡

queen laurel
#

Seriously they could have just ignored the woman part and complained about the bad rules but Nope

storm jungle
near wasp
#

Honestly titty armor is dumb I hope they aren't doing that

#

Ah yes let's make bullets and attack go the the center of my chest instead of outwards

storm jungle
#

Stop trying to apply realism to boob-armor

#

it looks cool and thats what people care about

near wasp
#

Only reason to do it is to exentuate the female form but practically it's dumb and the stodes are utilitarian so it'd be dumb

#

What!

#

Just let me mald dilara

storm jungle
#

Never.

#

also at the end of the day if its just a toy part, nobody is forcing you to put it on em unlike the Sisters for an example staregryn

vagrant fox
#

time yourself out dilara, for your stinky take

#

GW forces us also

near wasp
#

I don't play sisters of battle

#

I want sos to go with my stodes

#

But they have like four fucking models because gw doesn't fucking care

storm jungle
#

Its not GW

#

nobody gives a shit about SoS thus no investment

#

they've always been a sidepiece to Custodes and will remain so

tough haven
#

I like ASL characters

near wasp
#

A multi million dollar company must bow to my personal tastes

storm jungle

Anyway im sure they'll get some mini updates for 30k at some point

near wasp
#

Maybe

#

If they don't literally get forgetten again

storm jungle
#

: )

near wasp
#

That would probably get me into hh if they gave me good sos

vagrant fox
#

I do wish they would elaborate on the SoS a bit more, add some cool bits

near wasp
#

Wright give me more watchers of the throne and my life is yours

storm jungle

That would require people for them to be interested in them first

near wasp
storm jungle
#

they were so forgotten it was taken into official llore

#

where everyone also forgot about them somehow lmao

vagrant fox
#

Yeah it's very funny

storm jungle
#

And custodians just allowed them to get pogrom'd

#

because ???

#

even when they try to explain it its just so goofy

vagrant fox
#

There's not enough for me to be fully interested so I don't really care and if a lot of people are like me they'll just languish I assume

storm jungle

Yeah they've always existed as "they're just there"

the fandom makes a thing of "loving" them when they in reality never care

Is this what it's like to be an elder fan

Im waiting for my dipshit necronphile friend to finish it for a review, it better be good

But you see proportionally it's the same because at least a few people care about the Eldar and no one cares about the SoS
