40k-lore-chat

[hollow lantern]

I really, really wish we got more Infinite and Divine tier books

[storm jungle]

Same

[arctic talon]

Rath can cook hard

Shame he writes so slowly

But I get it

[hollow lantern]

Infinite and Divine isn't just a good 40k book, it's genuine literature.

[opaque coyote]

"I have trained for thousands of years. AND THIS IS HOW I DI-"

[storm jungle]

its hilarious how InfDivine took over the 40k sphere for like months, and ironically still kinda has.

its insane how popular it got

[arctic talon]

Its an actual good book if you remove all the 40k stuff

Which is rare as hell

[hollow lantern]

Because it's genuinely some of the only true literature 40k has ever gotten.

[wary fulcrum]

As much as I agree, I do find myself quoting ‘bad boys sit at the back’ from Last Chances whenever I get to pick my seat.

At the front obviously. Because i’m too tight to pay for glasses

[storm jungle]

Thats because Thorpe has wrote most modern 40k lore

[hollow lantern]

Yeah, InD and TDK are some of the only 40k books like that

[arctic talon]

It’s still one of the top selling books on the WHW shelf

[storm jungle]

so thats fair lol

[arctic talon]

Tbh

[storm jungle]

YEET

[hollow lantern]

I hope GW takes this as a sign

[storm jungle]

also its a very gay novel

[hollow lantern]

And has more real books written

[storm jungle]

i feel like Trazyn and Oricunt should kiss

[plush mason]

that just makes it even more peak

[hollow lantern]

40k book tricking bigots into liking a gay book is amazingly funny to me

[storm jungle]

thats why I love Voidscarred

the main pairing is two male eldar lol

some people got so mad at that shit

when like the book treats it like its extremely normal

and makes nothing of it

which is even funnier and better

[arctic talon]

If only

[hollow lantern]

Imo its the single best portrayal

[arctic talon]

I hope Rath’s next book is insane

[hollow lantern]

"This is a thing, it's normal"

[storm jungle]

100%, Brooks is like EXTREMELY pro-queer so it makes a lot of sense.

its why I love when reading his navigator book a male character just offhandedly mentions if he can take his husband along on his new job t oteh navigator palace

and its just that lol

[wary fulcrum]

My favourite was the tech priests not having genders because genders are fleshy and the flesh is weak making people flip out

Or the kick off over black space wolves despite Fenris being equally a volcanic burning hellhole that’s too close to the sun

[storm jungle]

To be fair that also entirely depends

every techpriest is their own person

binary ones are a lot more tho in some cases

[hollow lantern]

"No you can't make the space marine black"

[arctic talon]

Dawn of fires first book cover still makes me feel dread whenever I see it on shelves💀

lol

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah, so why get annoyed that these ones aren’t?

It’s mental

[hollow lantern]

@arctic talon which book had the two techpriests and ones a solid gold femme body and the other has a voice modulator the tweak how they sound to their own tastes through the entire convo?

[storm jungle]

40k "fans" when they see a black space marine on a book cover

https://tenor.com/view/peacemaker-running-run-leave-quick-gif-25686144

[near wasp]

Cognito hazard

[storm jungle]

bigots gotta be bigots, if it isnt gender its then racism and os on, always gotta hate something

[hollow lantern]

If i had my way we'd make every unhelmetted BT Black for the next 10 years

[wary fulcrum]

Insane isn’t it?

Ultramarines have 500 planets to recruit from

“Every person who is strong fast good better enough to be a space marine from all 500 are white and look exactly like me”

[arctic talon]

I know what you’re talking about

Fuck

I can’t remember the title

💀

It’s a short story iirc

[hollow lantern]

That was a cool portrayal of tech priests imo

[valid needle]

Their geneseed was irreversibly changed to reject all psykers. The last black templar librarians went down defeating the psyker. Its death caused irreversible change to the geneseed. Somehow.

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[near wasp]

Honestly who give a shit if a space marine is black

[storm jungle]

I legit cannot get over how big of a crisis that was, it makes sense since GW has never bothered showing off diverse non-white or female characters in major roles in ANY capacity so thats likely why so many people were weirded out by a black space marine being on a novel cover.

Like its insane to me we only got a named black space marine character with a mini JUST a week ago in 35 years

[hollow lantern]

A lot of people with no greater problems in their lives

[hollow lantern]

Is it actually that long?

[near wasp]

Either that or they have too many problems like not having a father

[hollow lantern]

Thats fucking insane

[storm jungle]

Yeah lmao

because like black marines existed here and ther ebut never a major one with like an actual miniature

which is actually nuts

GW has been doing a bangup job with it though so cant complain too much

nowadays you cannot find any army without male/female heads

[hollow lantern]

Nah they're a lot better lately

I agree

[storm jungle]

Its been that way since post-2018 setting shakeup yeah

[opaque coyote]

"Guys, my new homebrew SM chapter is called the KKK.

Kool
Kids
Klub"

[hollow lantern]

God, remember uhh, whats her face? The female ordos xenos inq people lost their minds over?

[storm jungle]

OH MAN

[storm jungle]

Draxus yeah

[near wasp]

Be really funny if the helmetless ones all were black and the ones with helmets were all beakies painted white

[storm jungle]

before her it was that Inquisitor lady in that dark angels comic wearing terminator armor that everyone bitched about

when Inquisitors could wear them ever since fucking rogue trader

40k fans not reading lore moment

[hollow lantern]

No you don't understand she has to be frail and dainty

[storm jungle]

And big tits please

[hollow lantern]

And a form fitting body suit

[storm jungle]

thanks Abnett you damn old gooner

[sacred ginkgo]

Forgot about that model and how cool it was

[hollow lantern]

Thanks Dan

[hollow lantern]

Lmfao

[near wasp]

I mean tits are nice but they aren't needed

[wary fulcrum]

I don’t want to defend GW for this because they had a decent scheme for the AoS Blood Reavers, so there’s no excuse for the last decade

But prior to that, I used to shit myself trying to paint non-white people because A - I wasn’t very good at skin, and B - it came out bad. Like, I don’t want to say ‘like a racist caricature’, but…

So I can relate with a reluctance to make that kind of goof

[storm jungle]

I respect a man's game

[arctic talon]

Ngl my one issue with Draxus is her power fist

It looks way too long on her mini

[hollow lantern]

I think it's funny he puts a bodysuit redhead in like iirc 80 percent of his books

[arctic talon]

Compared to her art

[storm jungle]

Yeah i was watching Arbitrator Ian's video on this subject and he mentions something similiar where he was half-sure most GW studio guys too never bothered diversifying because they just couldnt or were scared especially considering their audience at the time

[opaque coyote]

"guys a lot of ppl are telling me it's racist??? idk about that it was just meant to be a bunch of cool space Marines"

[hollow lantern]

Heroic proportions bit?

[near wasp]

Speaking of which y'all getting yt shorts of that chick 3d printing out life sized Marines and sob

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also

[wary fulcrum]

Getting mad at lore they’ve not read which predates the hobby is a key part of the hobby these days

[arctic talon]

Def but it’s not like how it usually is where power fists are way wider

Her power fist is heroic in a “long” way

If that makes sense

[hollow lantern]

Tbh I'd have to see her model irl

I understand what you're saying

[storm jungle]

Real.

also speaking of

[hollow lantern]

But my sense of scale is always borked when looking at models online

[storm jungle]

NOT TURKEY NOOOOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/turkish-homelander-gif-26852393

[plush mason]

why is the US not in that gif?

[storm jungle]

Turklander save me

[opaque coyote]

Because a majority are actually white so it isn't that funny

[arctic talon]

I really like this art of her ngl

[near wasp]

Is it bad I still sometimes refer to instanbul as Constantinople because I play too much crusader kingd

[opaque coyote]

Okay it's still kinda funny

[vital ginkgo]

If sanguinius fell to chaos which god would he likely have devoted himself to?

[queen laurel]

Well this is just funny

[arctic talon]

No because video game brain rot

lol

[hollow lantern]

I do too, its cool as hell tbh

[storm jungle]

Its the same shit tbh so i think its fine

i say this as a turk too lol

[storm jungle]

Khorne was the one that wanted him the most

[opaque coyote]

HoI4 after censoring Hitler with the fucking Jojo shadow unironically made me think he looked cool for a split second.

...

Until I realized that it was Hitler.

[hollow lantern]

Didnt every chaos god want sang?

[arctic talon]

Have you seen how persona 2 censors Hitler

[arctic talon]

Aside from Nurgle who put up a token effort

[storm jungle]

Probably, he was pretty hot. Id want Sang too.

[arctic talon]

But the other 3 really wanted him

[near wasp]

Honestly your opinion was the one I was looking for.

[hollow lantern]

Yeah im not sure how nurgle weasels his way in

[opaque coyote]

Been meaning to play the persona series after I got into a family share with a friend

But no I haven't show me

[plush mason]

funny because true, an frankly yeah the US is such a special little snowflake it has to be in it's own special white supremist club fucking hell i hate American exceptionalism so damn much ok rant over

[hollow lantern]

I remember Sang being very desired tho

[valid needle]

Far right Racist Tommy Robinson supporter🫵 .

[wary fulcrum]

I love how Nurgle anti-vibe checking champions is a regular thing ( see Talos)

[arctic talon]

Behold “fuher”

[storm jungle]

I say it because people sometimes try to bait me either seriously or as a joke with the constantinopolis thing and im like

"I mean its just a city lol"

[opaque coyote]

HAHAHA

[near wasp]

Who

[opaque coyote]

WHY DOES HE HAVE SUNGLASSES

[hollow lantern]

Bro what is this

[sacred ginkgo]

Persona 2 hitler

[arctic talon]

Because that’s what got him past censors

[valid needle]

Like the Charlie Kirk of the UK.

[arctic talon]

In the US

[sacred ginkgo]

Who they censored with aviators and a shit eating grin

[opaque coyote]

He's relaxing in a nice Argentina beach ig

[near wasp]

That's always been my take on it but I'm a stupid American so idk shit

[hollow lantern]

It feels like "agent hitler, fbi"

[arctic talon]

It’s Hitler revived from the dead and becoming the avatar of all evil due to enough people thinking he didn’t die in WW2

[hollow lantern]

"Somehow, Hitler came back"

[arctic talon]

I’m not even joking

[sacred ginkgo]

The reasoning makes some sense in the setting

[hollow lantern]

Tbh I'm not gonna poke holes in a setting i do not understand

I just wanna make my dumb Palpatine joke

[wary fulcrum]

English bloke on the Epstein list who complains about ethnic SA gang am awful lot for someone who has a knack for hiring White ones

[opaque coyote]

By my surface level knowledge of Persona

I actually thought for a second it was due to the rise of Neo Nazism making Hitler being revived as an idea and having him

Look like that

[sacred ginkgo]

Given how the world is massively affected by the collective subconcious

[arctic talon]

nah he only looks like that in the US/European release

the Chinese/rest of Asia release censors the rising sun flag instead

lol

[hollow lantern]

You kill him in game right?

[sacred ginkgo]

Uhhhh

[arctic talon]

well

[sacred ginkgo]

Soo about that

[arctic talon]

you impale him with a spear

so yes

sorta

[sacred ginkgo]

Oh I thought he won

[arctic talon]

I mean the thing controlling him "wins"

at the end of the game

even if you kill hitler

[hollow lantern]

Tbh I simply believe every game that let's you kill Hitler is as least good.

[valid needle]

Skibidi Dee
Skibidi doo
Skibidi rizz cannot be contained

[arctic talon]

but yeah Persona 2 is like

[arctic talon]

weirdly critical of Japan's involvement in WW2

for a japanese game

not that its bad

[hollow lantern]

Thats very rare tbh

Nah I'd say that's good tbh

[arctic talon]

I'm just surprised ATLUS did that back in fucking 1999

[hollow lantern]

A lot of Japanese media I've consumed is weirdly okay feeling with the ww2 stuff to borderline glorifying it?

[valid needle]

I feel like this is poking at the fact the US hired Nazi officers and scientists and brought them into nasa, and military branches.

[hollow lantern]

Everyone did

The Soviets did too

[arctic talon]

the Allies loved getting Nazi scientists

[sacred ginkgo]

Oh yeah elite did you see theres going to be another Metaphor VA in DT

[arctic talon]

Yep!

Gordon Cooper iirc

[near wasp]

They did push pharmaceutical knowledge alot from the awful experiments they did

[arctic talon]

yeah well thats because they don't really teach it or gloss over it so people in Japan who don't dig deeper into history don't know

So it ends up being seen as a "glorious" war sometimes

[hollow lantern]

I'd comment on that but apparently teaching it doesn't stop history from repeating either.

[arctic talon]

that sort of deal

💀

[opaque coyote]

When people learn about history, they want to emulate it

When people don't learn about history, they want to emulate it

But at least the first one allows people to notice when the signs are happening and prepare

[sacred ginkgo]

Also plays the BG3 Oathbreaker and a bunch of other stuff

[hollow lantern]

All ik is sometimes i watch anime and go "damn this is really glorifying those funny accent uniform dudes"

[opaque coyote]

I think the only one that kinda did that was JJBA

And even then it dropped it after Part 2

[arctic talon]

nah

there's a lot of stuff that def does that

lol

[opaque coyote]

I need to watch more then

[arctic talon]

Attack on Titan

[hollow lantern]

Jin Roh, which has a lot of anti fascist sentiment, still does it

[opaque coyote]

I think the only Japanese media that I saw that really criticize the Japanese part of the war was

Godzilla (GMK and Minus One)

GMK had Godzilla be made out of all of the victims of the Japanese War

So Chinese and Korean civilians

[hollow lantern]

I gotta see Minus One

[opaque coyote]

Dude

It is so peak

[hollow lantern]

I'm a sucker for Godzilla stuff tbh

[opaque coyote]

How do I say this

[hollow lantern]

Saw one of the old movies on TV when I was a kid

I've heard it's amazing

[opaque coyote]

Even if Godzilla wasn't there, it would be a good movie

But Godzilla is there, which makes it a great movie

[hollow lantern]

Lmfao

I've heard its one of the better Godzilla movies flat out

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though, it does something that very few Godzilla movies have done

Make you care about the humans

I'm not joking

[hollow lantern]

I'll get to it eventually

God I have such a long movie list to get through

[urban spire]

that's not a japanese media thing, that's a japanese media exports thing

[hollow lantern]

Elaborate

[urban spire]

anime is a big part of japanese propaganda, funded by the government for that explicit purpose

[opaque coyote]

It also criticizes WW2 Japan heavily

In fact one of the main themes is how callous Imperial Japan was to waste lives

And how it unintentionally brought Godzilla into light

[jade holly]

Who’s in charge of Godzilla now?

[urban spire]

so if you watch a lot of anime you're gonna catch a lot of that

[jade holly]

Is it Toho still?

[opaque coyote]

For America, Monsterverse

For Japan, Toho

Weird partnership type of thing

Like marriage

[jade holly]

Monsterverse Godzilla is like WWE, Toho is more serious

But we love Monsterverse lmao

especially that tag team fight against Mecha G in KxG

[hollow lantern]

Of like, making ww2 involvement seem normal?

[opaque coyote]

Monsterverse Godzilla is still good in its own way

The worldbuilding is genuinely fascinating that's for sure

I do wish Toho allowed Godzilla more character though

Because it's part of their mandates to literally never show him smiling

[jade holly]

Monsterverse is more than just Godzilla which I like

[urban spire]

among other things. the main push is remilitarization afaik

[hollow lantern]

Iirc Godzilla historically is a kinda recurring theme for "the callous nature of war"

[opaque coyote]

They almost freaked out when he chuckled at slamming Mecha Godzilla

[jade holly]

I honestly want a standalone Kong film filmed like how the middle part of New Empire was

That shit was awesome

[urban spire]

but also yeah just general war crimes denial has been the policy of the japanese government basically since it was rebuilt

[jade holly]

No dialogue yet you understood everything

[hollow lantern]

Iirc Gate was literally propaganda for the JGDSF

JDSF?

[urban spire]

YEP

japanese self defence force

jsdf

[hollow lantern]

There we go

[opaque coyote]

I doubt it would've decreased the racism that much if they acknowledged it.

But like

My Dad's friends literally cheered when Japan got flooded by a tsunami back in 2011

They're Chinese btw

[urban spire]

yeah everyone else in east asia remembers

[jade holly]

Don’t Japan, South Korea and China have a big rivalry with each other or am I remembering wrong?

[opaque coyote]

Borderline vitriolic hatred

For

[hollow lantern]

I defo know this bit lol

[urban spire]

japan war crimed the absolute fuck out of china and korea

[opaque coyote]

OBVIOUS REASONS

[near wasp]

They all hate each pther

[arctic talon]

Yes

Rivalry is incorrect

Hatred is more accurate

tbh

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I can't even fault them that much.

Because what Japan did during WW2 was uh

[hollow lantern]

Awful

[arctic talon]

The only East Asian country thats remotely friendly with Japan is Taiwan

mostly because they didn't get warcrimed

[valid needle]

Mutual racism

[opaque coyote]

Alliance of convenience also

[arctic talon]

as they were already under Japanese occupation

[urban spire]

communist china doesn't get along with south korea for ideological reasons, but their mutual dislike for japan is way deeper and way more intense

[jade holly]

South Korea I need to learn about more culturally

[urban spire]

that shit's cultural, people on the street fucking hate the japanese government

[jade holly]

The main thing I know is the absolute goat Yi Sun Sin

[hollow lantern]

Post ww2 China has some fascinating history that I will butcher if I try to articulate tbh

Tbh

China has some fascinating history

[opaque coyote]

That is true

[urban spire]

those fuckers are still, to this day, actively working to like undermine war crime memorials and shit

[opaque coyote]

Literally everyone respected him

Including Japan

[jade holly]

Bro was held back by his own nation and he still pulled through

Smaller armada, and still came out on top

[urban spire]

it's fucked, worst developed country to live in in the world

completely ratfucked by turbo capitalism

[opaque coyote]

Also due to the lack of babies being made

Unless if something drastic happens

Yeah the country is gonna be empty

[urban spire]

the lack of babies is caused by the ratfucking by capitalism

[jade holly]

Isn’t that a larger issue with Japan as well?

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

But S.Korea is even worse

[hollow lantern]

Samsung is iirc the closest thing we have to Saka irl

[urban spire]

you know how japanese has a word for working yourself to death? south korean work culture is worse

[near wasp]

Birthrate world wide are generally stalling put

[jade holly]

With Japan isn’t it more so people just work for so long and don’t get much free time?

[opaque coyote]

Also true.

[opaque coyote]

Same for S.Korea

[near wasp]

It's not just Korea and Japan it's everywhere

[opaque coyote]

Including America!

Seriously why the fuck is maternal leave so low

[urban spire]

people stop having babies when life starts to suck too much, it's wild

[near wasp]

I like Warhammer so I'm probably not having kids let's be honest

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it's more like we're well educated enough to just

Stop.

Like beforehand, life sucked a lot, so we made a lot of babies to compensate since a lot of them died.

But now we are actually smart enough to realize that we should be treated better

... mostly

[urban spire]

yeah i mean i'm not exactly an expert on the subject, admittedly

[opaque coyote]

It's weird

[valid needle]

What is it?

[urban spire]

but we really don't need to have 14 kids with the expectation that 9 of them will die and the rest will have to work the farm from age 3

[jade holly]

Only 14?

[opaque coyote]

There is no national maternity leave

But it's 12 weeks guaranteed...

Unpaid

[valid needle]

Bruh

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[valid needle]

Ours is 1 year maternity leave and 2 weeks paternity leave

[wary fulcrum]

Absolutely insane

[urban spire]

anyway globally humanity is still above the replacement rate, so it's not like it's an existential threat

more likely it's just gonna stabilize at some point

[opaque coyote]

You mother fucker

[jade holly]

Globally aren’t we still growing in numbers?

[near wasp]

This whole convo just hitting me with the depression rn.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but it's slowing down

[jade holly]

Makes sense

[opaque coyote]

Looks like overpopulation isn't a problrm

[urban spire]

the folks who think a downward trend means it's going to continue to drop FOREVER are the same kinda dipshit who thought accelerated tech development would continue to accelerate forever and result in DA SINULARITY

[urban spire]

yeah that's what that means

[jade holly]

Brain no work good

[valid needle]

America is highkey falling

[urban spire]

right there with you brother

[jade holly]

Honestly it feels like nearly every nation is these days

[near wasp]

^

[urban spire]

this is the american century of humiliation, bet

[opaque coyote]

Either we balkanize

Get several reforms (the preferred option)

Or a "permanently" fascist dictatorship that collapses within like 3 years

[urban spire]

"permanent" fascist dictatorship

lmao

same brain

[jade holly]

Tbh with how recent presidents treat the position it’s like that every time lmao

Executive Orders be executive ordering

[opaque coyote]

I miss Joe Biden

He wasn't a good president

But

[jade holly]

I don’t lmao. I want new blood

[opaque coyote]

At least I could sleep without worrying about the fucking gestapo kicking our doors in

Sorry ICE

[jade holly]

Tired of being given all these old folks who just need to retire and rest

[near wasp]

No I want somebody who isn't fucking older than dirt

[opaque coyote]

Also true, and that is ideal.

I just more so miss the peace

And not worrying about being deported to some African country

Because it's not like ICE cares even if you're a citizen

[valid needle]

The question is what are the common reasons among them all.

[jade holly]

Poor leadership

[urban spire]

look kinda foreign? not carrying ID? off to the blacksite!

[jade holly]

Horrible management

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I still wish that reforms would come and that some of America's most severe problems get fixed

[tough haven]

It’s just a way to remove political dissidents

[tough haven]

I agree

[opaque coyote]

But honestly I would just settle for sleepy Joe

Because I could fucking sleep at night

[tough haven]

Might have to flee the country eventually

[opaque coyote]

Christ please no

[urban spire]

i have a lot of people i care about living in america, i don't want it to become the fourth reich

Did yall see this

Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee)

My official statement.

X · Nov 22, 2025, 1:07 AM

[opaque coyote]

America sucks but it's my home

It's everything I know

[jade holly]

America’s issue is we have 2 parties that want more power than the other and use us to do so without actually caring about what we want

[opaque coyote]

Also our voting system doesn't really care about the majority

Thanks gerrymandering

You fucks

Corporations lobbying the shit out of every layer of government

So even if someone WANTS to make change, they get blocked

[jade holly]

The biggest problem imo when it comes to politics is politicians get paid

They get rich

lobbying, insider stock trading

[urban spire]

gerrymandering and voter suppression woo

[jade holly]

All that needs to go

[opaque coyote]

Also we don't vote separately about issues

For

[urban spire]

turning my chair backwards like a youth pastor

[opaque coyote]

Some reason

[urban spire]

you ever hear of this little guy called mao?

[jade holly]

We make one giant bill of random crap, all or nothing

Like bruh

[urban spire]

lmfao

[opaque coyote]

Man I hope he has a little red book...

[jade holly]

If he’s a little guy is the book even littler or bigger in his hands?

[median star]

were at the point now and this goes for both sides were voting doesnt get results all im saying interpret as you will

[opaque coyote]

I feel like banging pots and pans against sparrows, surely that won't go wrong

[jade holly]

Okay I don’t get this one

[urban spire]

america is at the bottom of a hole holding a shovel named voting

you cannot simply dig up

[opaque coyote]

The Chinese Great Famine was partially caused by driving away sparrows so that they didn't eat crops.

But they also eat insects as well... and the insects also ruin crops

[near wasp]

I don't get why people are still voting for the same fossils who've been in office 30 years

[jade holly]

Our representatives are more loyal to a paycheck and party than the people who vote them in

[opaque coyote]

You can see where this is going

[urban spire]

vote blue no matter who!!! :) :) :;) ::) :)) :):;==)

[near wasp]

No

[hollow lantern]

If voting changed anything it'd be illegal

[median star]

we shouldve voted in vermin supreme he couldve fixed this

[near wasp]

I agree

[urban spire]

vermin supreme woulda fixed this

[jade holly]

Vermin Supreme would give me a nice boot to wear on my head

Best deal ever

[near wasp]

Honestly I'd run if I was 35

Ten more years

[opaque coyote]

"If you vote blue, nothing substantial changes and we're stuck in a period of stagnation. Praying that the status quo will change and that you get paid enough to live another day.

If you vote red, everything will change... in terms of being ruined. Socially, politically, and economically we will backslide hard."

[jade holly]

I’d run but I know my ass ain’t honorable enough to stay impartial on things

Especially in the gaming industry

My first act would be to sign an executive order to end first party exclusives

[near wasp]

Vote libertarian they haven't won since before Lincoln at least then it'll be different

[jade holly]

Make a new party and get no traction cause the media is either allied with one side or the other

[opaque coyote]

My first act would be worker reforms since crunch time ruins video games

[jade holly]

Actually now that I think about it how influential could making a new party and spreading it via social media like TikTok be?

[urban spire]

no more taxes! also no more roads or public services of any sort ever! age of consent lowered to 14!

[jade holly]

[opaque coyote]

Most failed

[jade holly]

Rip

[urban spire]

never let the libertarians live it down

[opaque coyote]

But still, it does cause an ever so minor change

[urban spire]

at least the other parties have the decency to pretend not to be pedophiles

[opaque coyote]

"Also new island resorts, sponsored by Trump and the Epstein estate!"

[near wasp]

Roads don't get fixed anyways. Public services don't get funded anyways. Some taxes are needed. And also nah keep at age of consent at 18 (personally it should be 21 given how much more we know about brain development)

[urban spire]

age of consent needs a bunch of caveats for late teens but generally yeah, the older you get the less you should date down in age

mind

[jade holly]

Looking at you Leonardo DeCaprio

[urban spire]

yeeeah

[near wasp]

Yeah I agree.

[opaque coyote]

The age gap thing is weird.

Like what is theoretically okay?

20 and 18?

How about 21 and 18?

Where is the line drawn.

It's fucking weird.

Obviously this doesn't include things like

40 and 18 like that's obviously wrong

[urban spire]

also you just cannot stop teenagers from fucking around, attempting to do so does more harm than good, just teach them how to be safe about it

[opaque coyote]

Just teach them more than just "DON'T DO IT"

Which is

Aprox. American sex education

[near wasp]

If your over 25 age gap shouldn't matter. Who gives a fuck if a 25 year old dates a 60 year old. But also yeah sex Ed needs to be taught better

[opaque coyote]

Especially in southern states

[near wasp]

Abstinence only is stupid

[urban spire]

abstinence only sex ed is so much worse than it sounds, which is amazing because it already sounds fuckin bad
they teach shit like "condoms and pills don't actually work and can make you sick"

[near wasp]

Brain dead

[opaque coyote]

I thought it was religion based

But countries like China are arguably worse than America in terms of trying to teach sex ed.

There was a couple in China who couldn't have a baby for 20 years. Very sad.

...

It turns out they were doing it in the wrong uh "hole" the entire time

[jade holly]

If you even look at someone without abstinence in your mind, you will explode

[urban spire]

and they have all these fucking weird, intensely sexist rituals like passing around a cup and asking everyone to spit in it, and then comparing that cup to a woman who has had sex with more than one man

[opaque coyote]

South USA moment

[urban spire]

lesbians need this, the younger lesbians will not survive an elderly domme drought

[opaque coyote]

And also the way my dad learned was by

Watching animals. But this was back in the 1980's in communist China.

But he never actually learned the facts until he read about it

...

In college

IN COLLEGE

[near wasp]

What the fuck

[urban spire]

lmfao

[jade holly]

Did we learn anything more about Hive Scum?

[urban spire]

what? like that new class in darktide? nobody here plays that

[jade holly]

Nah I mean in the new free game Verimintide 2

Free to play, free to keep

[opaque coyote]

I unironically haven't played it in a while but that's mainly due to

College

I LOGE ENGINEERING

I LOVE ENGINEERING

I LOVE ENGINEERING

[jade holly]

Quick is it better to bolt or weld?

[urban spire]

i loge laying in bed all day reading webnovels

[opaque coyote]

COMPUTER ENGINEERING

[jade holly]

Damn I thought you were cool

[opaque coyote]

IDK

[jade holly]

[near wasp]

Welding generally

[crystal forum]

no they're the useless kind of engineer not the practical kind

[opaque coyote]

I have thought about going for mechanical tbh

[jade holly]

What’s the funny phrase again?
An architect’s dream is an Engineer’s nightmare?

[urban spire]

welding is generally better for building tanks, but if your entire industrial base is based on bolting together trains, it's better to start out with bolting rather than trying to retrain the entire workforce on welding at the same time

[lament shoal]

I've played it a few times but I don't own the game unfortunately

[urban spire]

lmao

[lament shoal]

I have a save file on my friend's pc lol

[urban spire]

how did you even end up here

[jade holly]

I named my Zealot Judas… for some reason lmao

[near wasp]

[jade holly]

I think I made him really short

[lament shoal]

Cuz I like the game and 40k

[crystal forum]

wildest reveal

[opaque coyote]

Also apparently Chomsky is implicated to be more related to Epstein than we thought.

Which makes me feel better about hating the Chomsky hierarchy

[crystal forum]

what's the chomsky hierarchy

[urban spire]

chomsky keeps saying weird shit, i don't trust him

[near wasp]

Bro what

How

[jade holly]

People liking 40k?

Impossible

[lament shoal]

Discrete mathematics.

Essentially grammar is divided into 4 types

[near wasp]

How don't you own it dude

[lament shoal]

[crystal forum]

you made it sound like there's a hierarchy of chomskys

the one chomsky to rule them all

[jade holly]

We have to fight each Chomsky to reach the next one

[opaque coyote]

That would be funny but unfortunately no

Very sad

[jade holly]

We must become the new Chomsky

[crystal forum]

he's too strong rn

the older he gets the stronger he becomes

[opaque coyote]

It's about grammar and how it's somehow related to computers

...

I

I don't really get it tbh

[jade holly]

Probably about programming syntax or something

[opaque coyote]

Definitely that

How it recognizes strings

[crystal forum]

well he's not a computer scientist

[opaque coyote]

But also AAAAA-

[crystal forum]

but he did lay out the groundwork for an entire field of study

[jade holly]

I don’t even know who this Chomsky fella is, I heard Chomsky and immediately thought of the gnome from Left 4 Dead 2 for some reason

[opaque coyote]

I asked my dad who is a computer and electrical engineer

He uh

Never fucking learned it

[crystal forum]

gnomsky is named after him

[urban spire]

you never have to listen to anything noam says

[near wasp]

Joseph will remember this

[opaque coyote]

Overall

AAA-

[crystal forum]

gnome chomsky

[opaque coyote]

Maybe I should get into mechanical engineering

[jade holly]

Learn to weld

[opaque coyote]

But I ain't strong either

[jade holly]

Learn to weld

LEARN TO WELD

[crystal forum]

he wrote manufactured consent

[jade holly]

LWANE TO WELD

Fuck

[opaque coyote]

Is welding in mechanical engineering

[crystal forum]

and was a big anti vietnam war guy

[jade holly]

I think?

[urban spire]

ok fair you should listen to a few things noam says

[crystal forum]

and he pretty much created the field of language studies or smth

[lament shoal]

And even I could afford it rn, its not available on any of platforms I own

[crystal forum]

i have

[urban spire]

but like

[crystal forum]

i havent read his works though

[opaque coyote]

What platforms do you own

[lament shoal]

Hopefully I can grab a steam machine next year

[near wasp]

You got steam?

[urban spire]

anyone can be anti vietnam, even george lucas pulled off being anti vietnam

[opaque coyote]

Mobile??

[lament shoal]

Switch, xbox one s, mac laptop

[opaque coyote]

Didn't Darktide release for Xbox One S?

[crystal forum]

the importance of what he did is describe how the media will control the public's perception, or smth

[lament shoal]

It did but then they made it next gen exclusive for no reason

[crystal forum]

today we all know it but it was new back then

for some reason he's viewed as an anarcho communist icon despite not really calling himself that that often

[lament shoal]

Yea

[opaque coyote]

"omg you're an anarcho communist icon!!"

"Bro I just make the grammar studies"

[urban spire]

well, you know, great man theory, if he didn't invent it someone else woulda

also really? people think he's important to anarcho communism? that is news to me

i WAS an ancom for a while

literally never heard anyone talk about him

except to dunk on him when he had bad takes

[crystal forum]

no he did a lot of political work too which did bring a lot of american college students to anarchism tbf, his anti government stance lends itself well to it

he's more known for his political work these days

[near wasp]

Check dms when you can

[crystal forum]

but like noam never really outright calls himself anything

[tough haven]

The electoral college needs to be removed and rank choice voting implemented

Theoretically a person could win with 18% of the popular vote because of the electoral college

[crystal forum]

it's more common in college circles tbf, people who just started learning about it

[urban spire]

also voter engagement (or whatever its called) is in the fucking pits

[tough haven]

Hate seeing political parties engaging in official shitpostinh and meme wars like children

[urban spire]

yeah that shit sucks

voter turnout, that's the term

people are disillusioned and suppressed

[crystal forum]

yeah which really goes against the core ideas of anarcho communism doesn't it?

[urban spire]

it lines up doesn't it?

no individual really being that important

once all the groundwork is there for the next big idea, it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with it, which is observable when multiple people come up with things at the same time

which is, incidentally, another cool anti-feature of the patent system

[crystal forum]

if you believe that ideas come from singular people and not from a shared communal pool of knowledge then you definitely think people can own those ideas

i always find it funny when people talk about the "inventor" of shit that was clearly designed by an entire team of people

[urban spire]

yeah there is that too

[crystal forum]

the whole thomas edison/nichola tesla grift

[urban spire]

tesla is a weird example of someone whose brain actually moved sideways to such a degree as to approach great man-ism, but he had no sense for business and was profoundly mentally ill so he just went to hell before he died instead

[crystal forum]

lol

[urban spire]

guy would just let people use his patents

[crystal forum]

i think he was good as a theoretical physicist but god his practical knowledge was awful sometimes

[urban spire]

had some kind of religious experience about his pet pigeon

[crystal forum]

people still talk about wireless electricity like that makes any sense

mmh yes i want to electrify every piece of metal in my house that's genius

[urban spire]

it's fine houses are made of wood

what's a nail? the things that grow on fingers?

jokes aside i have no idea how any of that shit works

[crystal forum]

not to mention the insane losses you'd get just from building a giant tower to vomit electricity everywhere

[urban spire]

that is why construction was halted, right

[crystal forum]

idk really

i just know it's a dumb idea from like the one calculation i made when i first learned the formula in college

[urban spire]

guy funding it found out there would be no way to regulate and monetize it

is what i heard anyway

[crystal forum]

that's like saying radio towers arent worth the money because anybody can catch the signal

if tesla had tried harder maybe he could have figured out that it's drastically more cost effective to send out modulated signals through the airwaves and then use local sources of electricity to amplify the received signals

boom, radio

wondering if discord has issues rn

[near wasp]

@crystal forum

I wonder how high it'll go

[crystal forum]

updating resolved it

[nocturne crest]

Odd question, but does anyone think GTA 6 will turn out like Starfield's reception.

[spring cairn]

no

GTAVI can't lose regardless of it's launch state

[nocturne crest]

Fair enough. I'm just wondering if it can live up to it's hype.

[wintry scarab]

No, GTA 6 story will be sick. Thats how i see it. I think itll be like RDR2. 10 years from now, we will be looking back on it and it will literally just be better than the games coming out then. But online on the other hand. I think online will be super mishandled. To the point where in 3 years time, youll have videos titled "The sad state of GTA 6 online."

Also, RDR2 is 7 years old. Thats just insane. I still remember the exact day that it came out. I woke up at 6am, and played it from my cozy bed. And i had a blast

[languid meadow]

Rdr2 is 7 years old

Oh god

[opaque coyote]

Yeah RDOnline got fucked over majorly

It's quite sad

[spring cairn]

7 years ago, I was 7 years younger, that's crazy

[nocturne crest]

Yeah.

[spring cairn]

I wouldn't say with full confidence that GTAVI will 100% be good tho

It's probably one of the most overrated game franchise of all time in my very objective opinion

[paper haven]

RDOnline is tragic

[spring cairn]

Rockstar should only do red dead's and come up with other historical franchises

better than gta

[nocturne crest]

There was LA noise.

*noire

[crystal forum]

the campaign will probably be great

you can always be sure that a GTA game will have a lot of replayability

and killing NPC's is fun

GTA online is for weird people

[spring cairn]

If you like the sandbox aspect

but I tire of that quite quickly

and there's only so much story

[crystal forum]

isnt that most games

i love GTA V's campaign

so many memorable moments

[spring cairn]

Not necessarily, but GTA's sandbox is quite repetitive and shallow in my opinion

the world is very detailed tho, can't deny that

[crystal forum]

i think you'll at least get your money's worth

unless the game sucks ass

[spring cairn]

It'll just be another, albeit very very good looking, GTA

so It's safe to be on it being good

[surreal nest]

are you enjoying the new deadlock patch

Im ngl I hate not being able to kill waves while I'm on the move now

Gotta go pick up their ground souls

I understand why they did it tho

[zenith remnant]

Maybe it's cope, maybe it's hope, but I do think this rash of class theory discourse before the Scum reveal has given FS some good data on what people want and how they could fit it in. Maybe one day we'll get an AdMech class.

[crystal forum]

i hope it never comes now

this community doesnt deserve anything

[zenith remnant]

Uh huh

I'm going to get some kind of rant if I in any way show interest in your rationale, aren't I?

[wet sandal]

rationale
you're adorable

[paper haven]

I just wanted a class built around the ability to vote kick

[rose thorn]

True…

Developers should make the game they want to make, I have to defend hive scum even though I don’t agree with the name of it lol

I hope if they add a gsc skin; it has a third arm but it’s like shackled to their side

It’s 100% cool, I just think especially hive scum is a restrictive

[wet sandal]

Actually it's 0% cool

It fucking sucks

[crystal forum]

womp womp

[wet sandal]

Developers should base their every decision precisely on my beliefs

[vagrant fox]

no mine

Each successive class should be ever more pathetic

[lament shoal]

Next class will be the roach on the wall

[vagrant fox]

Until we get to a 20 hp no toughness child

fucking kids man

youth is wasted on the young and all...

[opaque coyote]

White Supremacist meetup ahh

[plush mason]

lmao

[storm jungle]

Speaking as a behind-the-scenes gal yeah no this isnt the case at all lol

this weird incessantness of opinions on a class nobody has played or knows anything about yet in actual gameplay is killing me. Especially when the "discourse" has gone from online bitching to "Oh man I kinda wanna see this now"

[lament shoal]

I genuinely did not understand how people could say shit like the class looks boring when we didn't even see any gameplay footage of it whatsoever

[storm jungle]

Its very much largley due to everyone for no reason coping it was admech and creating a false impression that it was 100% gonna be that with zero precedence.

[lament shoal]

Yeah lol

[storm jungle]

its even funnier when most of it is like

• If you know actual 40k Inquisition shit gangers are a huge part of most retinues, like a token elf or dwarf might be in a D&D party in comparison to a guardsman, psyker etc.

• And half the "criticism" boiling down to I CANT BELIEVE WE GOTTA PLAY A HIVE GANGER IN A HIVE CITY

[lament shoal]

I did talk to one guy who was saying that vox log 5 was clearly talking about radium rifles before fatshark said it was actually plasma

[storm jungle]

YEP.

You can tell this fandom anything and they'll twist it into the delusion of what they want lol

good news at least at this point the next one is probably gonna be techpriest regarding the choices left

or a ratling

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-sly-smile-gif-18933313

[lament shoal]

Tbf after listening to the log I could get his argument because the two people in it were talking about their guns making them sick and Hadron giving them pills for it

[near wasp]

Nah give us felinid

[lament shoal]

But then again idk

[storm jungle]

thats just classic admech tbh (half the shit they use has radiation 💀 )

[lament shoal]

True lol

[raven stone]

I kind of also put this down to Necromunda as a whole not getting big traction in terms of digital games.
Since we know Darktide must be non-Marine, and people “game migrate”…it is likely the Ad Mech hype also originated from Mechanicus and Mechanicus 2

[storm jungle]

Very likely yeah, also people going like

"ALL THESE ADMECH MINI REVEALS POINT TO AN ADMECH RELEASE"

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-conspiracy-gif-19179336

[near wasp]

Honestly I hope they don't do admech ever just outa spite

[raven stone]

I mean, TBF, without hindsight it really did feel like the sort of BS GW execs would pull.

[storm jungle]

the bs the GW execs pull were more simple believe me lol

[lament shoal]

That's literally what that guy was doing lol. His name is John Turkeytide and he's pretty active in gen chat

[crystal forum]

and then gamers will get mad that they were wrong about something they hyped in their own head? like i want to break the nose of some of these people

they're pissed that they were wrong about something

and somehow that's fatshark's fault

[raven stone]

Look it is one thing to be fooled pre-release, aight, even I was (not helped by the fact that Moebian Steel sub plot and the massive lost factory in the hive would be enough to warrant Ad Mech attention)

But it is quite another to keep whining after it when one is proven wrong.

[storm jungle]

its not evne prroven wrong its like

WE HAD NO HINTS OF AN ADMECH CLASS AT ALL

Even when fucking arbites was being released there wasnt anthing

[near wasp]

They just wanna be closer to hadron

[storm jungle]

no joke lol

[crystal forum]

they're literally mad because they're incapable of admitting being wrong

the fucking self entitlement

[storm jungle]

^^^^^^^^

[crystal forum]

like they DESERVE admech

[storm jungle]

The greatest thing any person cannot ever do is admit they are wrong usually

[raven stone]

I am actually sad I read too much into the Moebian Steel sub plot then lol

[near wasp]

Honestly skittari would feel pretty boring tbh

[winter pine]

Skittari feels like too much of an escalation in things going bad for Tertium

[sacred ginkgo]

Not more than the Arbites joining

[near wasp]

Things are pretty bad tbh

[raven stone]

Yea Tech Priest is more likely, assuming there are plans for it

Assuming.

[storm jungle]

^

Techpriest are the default D&D class option for Inquisition stuff

[near wasp]

Like if the planet wasn't so important there's a good chance it'd be exterminutus'd

[winter pine]

This was the start of things getting worse but not quite "CALL IN THE FIRST FOUNDING CHAPTERS!!!"" bad

[storm jungle]

I mean

Founding Chapters would never bother with this shit + Marines can just arrive just to put down simple rebellions.

it entirely depends on who you petition and if they wanna bother even helping

[winter pine]

we're cooked if grendyl gets a named Ultramarine to drop into Tertium

[zenith remnant]

Reclaimator maybe. They're generally hivers already and it's not like the AdMech have no reason to up their involvement in events on Tertium (threats to blessed manufactoria, rediscovery of the Rite of Steel, whatever was in that train that we totally didn't get for Hadron)

[storm jungle]

Its definitely just gonna be an Enginseer or any lower "default" rank

[near wasp]

Def not like a magos

[storm jungle]

yeah that

Enginseers can also literally be anywhere in any institution i nthe thousands

[lament shoal]

Dilara can I be the next darktide class

[raven stone]

TBF Engninseers eventually climb rank anyways lol

[lament shoal]

But don't make me an admech character lmao

Funny

[zenith remnant]

Something like that. And yeah, I'll admit it, I'd hoped it was an AdMech class instead of Scum, I was disappointed, but I'm still happy we're getting another class... and the general panic and anger reaction was idiotic.

[near wasp]

Honestly I'll probably still get ganger

Like arbite is just too fun tho

[winter pine]

Very glad that Fatshark leans into the drug use for Hive Scum tbqh

[zenith remnant]

Scum was on the low end of my wishlist, but I didn't, and don't, hate the idea. In fact I've warmed to it

[raven stone]

My sentiment as well.

[storm jungle]

be sure to watch some actual gameplay first before your purchase decision

[winter pine]

Going to tweak on grim dark stims and mow down as many Nurgle heretics as possible

[zenith remnant]

I play on lower difficulties as a rule.

I'm not overly worried

[storm jungle]

yeah then you'll prob be fine

its like a Payday 2 dodge-class kind of thing

[near wasp]

Ooooo

[storm jungle]

fly like a butterfly and uhhh sting like a rocket launcher idk

[near wasp]

[zenith remnant]

I do not get the same joy out of difficulty that others do. My brain just doesn't work that way. My happy spot is, like, Heresy, maybe Damnation.

I wonder if the Hive Scum class will have buffs to the pistol in their tree nodes
Would make them a bit unique in that sense.

(…and because Autopistols need a buff even if they look and play cool)

[zenith remnant]

I've also almost locked in that I'm going for Male Anarchist named Sharp-Hand-Joe.

[raven stone]

Harley for me, with the Gas Nades.
Yes, as in Harlequin.

As in Harleen Quinzel.

[zenith remnant]

Oh sure, just publish your search history

[winter pine]

Locked in for the New Vegas reference with Motor-Runner myself for a Hive Scum characdter

[near wasp]

I might do something like that too

I made Harley Quinn for my monster hunt character

[sacred ginkgo]

Shredder is fine as a niche filler

[zenith remnant]

Maybe, but if you're going for ranged chaff clear, every class has a better option

[sacred ginkgo]

Its not for that

Its for anti maniac/unyielding and sprint speed

Also a suppression/toughness printer

Performs perfect in combination with slow weapons with bad maniac (crusher, thunder hammer, shock maul (I think))

[zenith remnant]

You know what, I'm gonna stay out of the balance discussion. As I said, I rarely play above Heresy, and I think Havoc is a poison that should never have been made.

Spook-ghost?

Or just something related to Spook

Apparently a necromundan drug

"The drug spook is taken in liquid form - the ultimate magic potion. When drunk in small amounts, it awakens the imbiber's psychic abilities. When drunk in quantity it opens the channel between a person's physical body and their soul in the warp. If the individual has strong soul, it will be drawn into his material body; if he has a weak soul, all psychic energy will be instantly sucked out of him and lost in the void. It is for this reason that spook is a very dangerous substance, and its use viciously repressed by the Imperium."

holyshit last part lmfao

[prime seal]

v1 and v2 are coming to fortnite

one day

[daring creek]

Shut up or I'll kill you

[prime seal]

it's inevitable

[daring creek]

DRG is already in fortnite

[prime seal]

shame no one tried making something like ultrakill again

its quite literally just devil may cry design philosophy but its a first person shooter

[daring creek]

Someday in the future :p

[prime seal]

before or after GTA VI

[daring creek]

after most likely.

[fallen oasis]

From now on I vote that we as a community, whenever we see someone complain about how female custodes "ShOuLdN't ExIsT" or like that, we should draw two (2) tyranids warriors kissing and send it to them

[opaque coyote]

nah

custodes yuri

(the yaoi already exists)

((gender equality))

(((parenthesis)))

[fallen oasis]

Okay but see: ppl who complain about that kind of stuff are the same that would be chasers to some degree

And not monster enjoyers

Or you know what? Fuck it

Non-conventionally-attractive female space marines

[opaque coyote]

Never ask a Black Templar what species their wife is

[fallen oasis]

No big boob form fitting armor

[opaque coyote]

So just space marines but with longer hair.

Got it

[fallen oasis]

Slightly modified proportions (like a difference of a few inches in armor) but otherwise nothing else

[fallen oasis]

No that's just the dark angels and blood angels and space wolves and

[opaque coyote]

I always thought of SMs as basically sort of making fun of toxic masculinity

[fallen oasis]

Not conventionally attractive doesn't mean ugly

[opaque coyote]

Considering all the unique rituals are fucking pointless

[fallen oasis]

I'm talking like a realistic face

[opaque coyote]

ah

[fallen oasis]

I always saw it as feeding that fantasy of the chivalrous knight type of guy

The "bleeding out in the snow" kind of male fantasy

[opaque coyote]

It's a combination of that and also "Why do you keep your planet a hellhole?"

[fallen oasis]

At least in their presentation

[opaque coyote]

"IT MAKES STRONGER WARRIORS"

"That's not how that works..."

Seriously Gulliman literally pointed it out in-universe also

[fallen oasis]

The only reasons for the existence of Florida and Texas

[opaque coyote]

So it's literally just them being stupid

[prime seal]

cornball on cornball violence

[fallen oasis]

Correct!

[fallen oasis]

Corn is overrated

I prefer crops like barley

And flax
So please, refer to me as "flax sphere"

[surreal nest]

Tyranid love is NOT CORNY

FUCK YOU!!!!!

40k has plenty of lgbt and female representation

The tyranids are so lesbian coded

[rustic patrol]

Repentia were fan-service as f when they first came out ngl

[queen laurel]

Is it Canon to lesbian lore that eating an entire planet's biodiversity is a girlboss move?

[fallen oasis]

Yes

And yes

Source: certified and licensed in woman liking

[queen laurel]

aight gonna note that down

"lesbians like eating a planet's bio-matter as form of consumption"

[fallen oasis]

Not as a form of consumption

We just do it for fun

:::)

[queen laurel]

"lesbians like eating a planet's bio-matter as a recreational activity"

[fallen oasis]

Correct

Thank you for your patience

[urban spire]

i have heard but never observed in person that tyranids are overwhelmingly played by pervert women

[opaque coyote]

In general, it seems that women love Tyranids

Well, the like three women that are into 40k

((very rare))

jokes aside I just always find it kinda funny.

"We got Sisters of Battle!"

"boring"

"How about Eldar?"

"ew"

"...Tyranids?"

"fuck yeah"

[storm jungle]

Girls got more taste than male nerds or companies would know trust me

[opaque coyote]

Y-you mean to tell me that females have different... TASTES??

That they are PEOPLE???

WHO HAVE PREFERENCES????

[urban spire]

het dudes who never date women bigger than them are cowards

(if you can't find a woman bigger than you, you can help out by becoming one)

[daring creek]

Would the Imperium at all improving ruin the grander story

like

becoming atleast a little progressive

hmmm...

That would break the grimdark

[urban spire]

it'd be fine

[celest dome]

Every woman I meet is taller than I, I don't have a choice in that

[urban spire]

you're a real hero

[prime seal]

not a fan of guilliman coming back

[prime seal]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jin4E4Zfjqc

[storm jungle]

Yes.

the imperium is suppose to be self-defeating and its own greatest enemy, which it always and still is

[unique bronze]

What do you think Big E would fix if he just up and woke up the next morning

[prime seal]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-kaldor-draigo-tts-flames-gif-16083663

[celest dome]

Would cause a new schism

Ans civil war

And probably the 2nd wye of terror

[valid needle]

Sounds like commie gobbledygook, can’t be true.

[celest dome]

Thus making Mars leave

[valid needle]

Yes probably

It’s a dying falling empire, it should keep falling.

But all the primarchs are coming back so I guess we’re great crusade part 2

[arctic talon]

It’s still in decline

Tbh

[valid needle]

Idk

I think Primarchs coming back is kinda reversing it

Especially if the rumours Russ and Dorn are returning next edition are true

[prime seal]

the lion is mega useless what is he gonna reverse

[valid needle]

That’s just because he’s busy atm

[unique bronze]

Where was he last seen even

[storm jungle]

Im pretty sure the direction GW is gonna go with it is all the primarchs just being swepped/tied up in how shitty the current Imperium is
