Ynead is still an eldar god
True.
I always thought that Ynnead would have a ramp up period of sorts.
Like the Ynnari basically have to raise it and protect their newborn God from essentially being murdered in the crib
arctic talon
The eldar gods were not nice
Ultimately
They were Gods
Like Greek gods
Khaine is a murderous violent piece of shit
Cegorach is a piece of shit
Isha is actually nice

Khaine's punishment for being a dickhead is being the lowest jobber on the totem poll

When all of the gods died, Isha probably didn't even mourn them that much
"Oh no Khaine died..."
arctic talon
Asuran was kinda nice

"What a tragedy..."
arctic talon
But he was still a prick
lol
Of the 2 surviving free eldar gods
Both of them are assholes
Ynead is also an asshole but not as much

Isha was grabbed by Nurgle and Cegorach escaped

Ofc the only somewhat nice Eldar God literally got stuck in Nurgle's basement
opaque coyote
Ynnead slices her stomach open and they all bust out
Yeah imagined something like that tbh
Although tbf I can imagine they would be shards
And weaker because they're like
"partially digested"
arctic talon
Ofc the only somewhat nice Eldar God literally got stuck in Nurgle's basement
Ironic she almost got freed by some eldar farseers
But they made the mistake of not going in with that in mind
And then Nurgle turned them all into trees so she could have “friends”

It’s only that pack of eldar who got trapped
They pushed their luck

The end goal is mass ritualized suicide or getting the last sword
They have all of them but one
Which the ynnari have decided that
Shalaxi was lying
Because why would Shalaxi tell the truth lol
GW having ynnari lean into the death cult stuff more is way better imo
Before they were way too boring
They were just eldar soup with death cult curtains
Making the Ynnari an actual death cult is way better
opaque coyote
Because why would Shalaxi tell the truth lol
Although tbf there is the chance that Shalaxi is telling the truth, and banking on them either thinking she's lying
Or going to there anyways and failing miserably because it's in Slaanesh's fucking castle
arctic talon
Although tbf there is the chance that Shalaxi is telling the truth, and banking ...
Tbf there’s still Plan B for the ynnari lol
opaque coyote
I definitely think they'll try to avoid the other portion unless if there is like
No other choice
arctic talon
I mean yes
But the ynnari also don’t mind cracking eldar skulls
To get what they want
Because it’ll all feed ynead
The 9e change making eldar the ynnari kill feed Ynead is good
The further emphasis they’re a death cult in 10e is good

Yeah basically
opaque coyote
Also fun fact.
Y'know the dude who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand?
He stated that he didn't feel responsible for the start of WW1
Which tbf, he's kinda right?
If it wasn't the archduke then some other incident would have lit the powder keg
surreal nest
Still lit the powder keg though that logic doesnt track
opaque coyote
True.
opaque coyote
But it's funny that the death of the Archduke basically wasn't actually considered a big deal at the time.
In fact, he was actually disliked by most of the royal family, because he favored giving more autonomy to the various ethnic groups in the balkans
But Austria Hungary really just used it as an excuse to crush Serbia
surreal nest
They killed the woke duke
opaque coyote
Yeah basically

Domino effects can be seen all throughout history
Tmk isn’t Henry VIII a major domino effect in England?

Also the entirety of the archduke's assassination would be considered comedic if it didn't cause millions of deaths as a result
The assassins failed four times
One of them even tried taking a cyanide pill after breaking his legs jumping off of a bridge
...
The cyanide pill was expired so he just vomited a lot

And what sealed the archduke’s fate was the driver taking a wrong turn

WW1 was a massive powder keg waiting to go off. Especially with the explosion that was the Industrial Revolution

that was the tail end of the industrial revolution

Still, it gave rise to new technology
Both recreational and for war
History is such an important tool that I worry people in power refuse to use besides to their own advantages
crystal forum
people say this a lot but i don't think they ever consider whether the technologies would have emerged without the war happening or not
zenith remnant
WW1 was a consequence of centuries of diplomatic fuckery that was inevitable with how criss-crossed the alliances were

And then we made nukes.

Humanity only "lives" because of the Imperium, but it's in this compromised shit storm because of the Imperium
Most of it's major threats are a threat directly because of the Imperium

It’s also why I love the politics behind the Necron civil war

Yes, but even if you don't, it is mostly ok. It is venom, not poison.

I find it funny that snakes basically have two paths
"I will bite my enemy and have them die to my venom"
Vs
"I WILL FUCKING CRUSH THEM TO DEATH!"

Yes, but even if you don't, it is mostly ok. It is venom, not poison.
That’s cursed lmao

Also, most snakes are not venomous.

Yeah I know lol

Since they literally just fucking crush their prey to death

I was thinking of getting the MGS3 remake
A great game.

You think Pythons are extreme? look up Anacondas
Oh right. I accidentally lumped them in with pythons
Oopsie
dapper gyro
Btw, I don't mean to offend people with snake pets.
jade holly
Those kind of snakes are called Constrictors
opaque coyote
But yeah it's like how Swans in practice are just bigger Geese
Both are dangerous
But one is bigger
An anaconda is basically a bigger python

As an Asian, I tasted some so called forbidden meats.

An anaconda is basically a bigger python
Pythons have the record for the longest snake in the world

Anacondas are thicker if I remember correctly

The Megalodon
I was genuinely shark obsessed when I was 6
It calmed down a lot since then but it never disappeared
But yeah I genuinely believed the Megalodon was still alive
Unfortunately due to this thing called knowledge
And
Ecosystem
Megalodons most likely won't be able to survive even if a bunch magically appeared
Because they lived off of large whales
The Earth had less of those, and they died out as a result
dapper gyro
Orcas will take vengeance if a Megalodon even tries to eat one.
opaque coyote
Orcas will take vengeance if a Megalodon even tries to eat one.
The POV of a Megalodon after magically time traveling into the present and eating an orca:
Also whales were generally smaller during the Megalodon's existence.
There were a wider array of sizes, but the average was smaller.
With whales even eating other whales
There's an ancestor of the Sperm Whale that was actively carnivorous. Instead of eating fish and squid. It ate other whales and Megalodon's. The species name is named after the author of moby dick.
The Livyatan.
Basically modern sperm whales are fucking extreme. Casually going into the deep sea to fight giant squids
But the Livyatan ate Megalodons.

I don't think number of AI centers is they key indicator for investment at the moment.

i don't know what the curve looks like
but it's a fundamental fact that you need to increase the bandwidth to increase supply
the fact that they need ram cards but there is a shortage going on means there is something happening

Or whether it can feel.
