Never would want to be in a relationship with anyone like her irl

arctic talon
Yeah but itās hilarious to make them date
hollow lantern
Tbh I think both relationships feel weird
willow patrol
Blazers seems pretty chill
hollow lantern

Feels kind of weird dating your boss, thatās why but dating invis is just as bad since sheās your subordinate

celest cedar
her saving Robert after he got beat up
arctic talon
Anyways whatever
rocky gale
Why lol
Because she acts like a real person and characters who act like real people are bad because they don't hold up to the idealised standard people have of characters in media
hollow lantern
Feels kind of weird dating your boss, thatās why but dating invis is just as bad...
This, basically

The bar fight is hilarious

Best character is Sonar tho
hollow lantern
The barfight was legit a 10/10 time

FlambƩ though he really grew on me lmao
hollow lantern
"He's just punching dicks" will live rent free in my head

Heās such an asshole

Legit the only character I did not like was Sonar
arctic talon
Bro is willing to humiliate himself just to set Robert on fire

Personality+lackluster VA work

The bar fight is hilarious
The bar fights better with quicktime events
arctic talon
Legit the only character I did not like was Sonar
I know people like sonar IRL

willow patrol
I was shocked the first time I poked the straw through the cup and what it cut to
jade holly
Personality+lackluster VA work
Nah, Sonar was awesome

Flamebe actually tries to improve.

Robert ārun these handsā Robertson
hollow lantern
The entire bar night was genuinely the height of Dispatch for me
storm jungle
It was so good
Its great because you are like
"Oh we arent gonna see the fight? Did we get beat up?"
then you see the QTEs adn MAN
arctic talon
Z team got that dog in them
celest cedar
yeah but Sonar is a pathetic villain
hollow lantern
Z team got that dog in them
BB was like "they're drunk they can't take on that base" and my only thought was "nah I've seen them lit before, they got this"
dapper gyro
Coupe and sonar are like throw away characters.
willow patrol
yeah but Sonar is a pathetic villain
His fight scenes better tbh
jade holly
yeah but Sonar is a pathetic villain
If anything it shows heās worth rehabilitating
hollow lantern
I like CoupƩ tbh
arctic talon
His fight scenes better tbh
Disagree tbh
jade holly
Just cause of how hard he tries to be a villain
arctic talon
Coupeās fight scene is way better
willow patrol
Coupe's is hers flinging knives around
jade holly
Best fight scene is Punch Up vs Toxic
willow patrol
sonar's is better coreographed
jade holly
Broās eyes were locked onto his target
hollow lantern
Cutting Sonar and that mf cannot even leave the office correctly
celest cedar
Coupe's is hers flinging knives around
she almost solos blazer and robert too š
meanwhile Sonar is like Imma just push this button
dapper gyro
Sonar eats people though.
hollow lantern
CoupƩ hates not being able to kill people but she isn't doing it
willow patrol
I think that's more mentioned within the like
dispatch before you make the choice to cut
dapper gyro
Coupe does still do crimes.
celest cedar
Actively doing criminal shit while in Z-team
yeah but her kill count is 68+
jade holly
Never ask Sonar what was in his stapler 
celest cedar
thats just the one we know 
willow patrol
Coupe does still do crimes.
Like what?
arctic talon
Coupe doesnāt actively commit murder on Z team
Sonar does still engage in white collar shit lol
jade holly
idk whatās in it
willow patrol
yeah but her kill count is 68+
I'm looking at it from a perspective of current
She isn't committing crimes while on Z-team and is doing impressivew ork
whereas sonar and flambae are still doing criminal shit secretly
arctic talon
yeah but her kill count is 68+
Tbh who cares, sheās reforming and actively not killing people
hollow lantern
At the end of the day I simply prefer CoupƩ cause the VA work is way better
jade holly
whereas sonar and flambae are still doing criminal shit secretly
Secretly? FlambƩ?
hollow lantern
Cut, don't cut, whatever
willow patrol
At the end of the day I simply prefer CoupƩ cause the VA work is way better
And trash romance books
hollow lantern
She's better as a hero, a villain
arctic talon
The one scene I like more with sonar in is the barfight
willow patrol
I will say Robert made a pretty good point if you cut Sonar instead
He literally started his shift getting stuck
hollow lantern
Bcs thatās the vibes heās got
Tbh all I can think of is "this is literally just Charlie and he isn't even trying", I'd probably be more okay with it
arctic talon
Because a giant cocained out like
hollow lantern
Like Jack killed Punch Up
arctic talon
Bat
hollow lantern
He's not even recognizable
storm jungle
She's better as a hero, a villain
Also while its cheap her saying she thought the team was her friends before Robert cut her really got me
willow patrol
I think I'm gonna use me head
arctic talon
Jack is def recognizable to me
jade holly
He's not even recognizable
I mean he is a bit but thatās cause of how iconic his voice is
arctic talon
But I watched too much of his stuff
winged jacinth
I feel like its only a matter of time before coupe goes back to superjail anyway but ive only seen the keep sonar path
storm jungle
i think its more because Jack is a really nice guy IRL but plays a complete cunt
which is a really good subversion
lmao
arctic talon
I feel like its only a matter of time before coupe goes back to superjail anyway...
Nah
hollow lantern
God that last level
willow patrol
I will say I get that both Punch up and Malevola had to have harsh reactions to their friends getting cut but
hollow lantern
"He's got a special move"
willow patrol
Malevola does seem kinda more professional
arctic talon
Malevola is not
willow patrol
Actually no
willow patrol
She literally leaves mid shift for no reason whereas punch up checks on coupe
hollow lantern
I will say I get that both Punch up and Malevola had to have harsh reactions to ...
Punch Up's was funnier than Batboys
arctic talon
Punch up at least does something
willow patrol
But her prank was more tame
arctic talon
And says why heās leaving
dapper gyro
Punch up at least had control over his anger.
hollow lantern
Punch Up genuinely seems like a great friend tbh
arctic talon
Honestly wonder how many people Malevola has killed lol
willow patrol
Outside of those two instances tho Malevola generally is probably one of the most professional Z-teamers
arctic talon

His big goofy smile as he's charging out in the last mission

I will say I'm a bit confused why Coupe was so low on the board
Probably not used to doing things the way SDN wants
celest cedar
Tbh who cares, sheās reforming and actively not killing people
she still does a bad job at heroics while in the z team (Robert can mention of how she had past infractions of accidentally hurting bystanders iirc)
arctic talon
She used to be a murderer for hire

Like
celest cedar
I feel like Sonar acts more incompetent though
I mean its relative
arctic talon
I feel like Sonar acts more incompetent though
Sonar is incompetent but heās also trying to do hero shit
willow patrol
Sonar like Robert says literally got cuffed at the start of the shift
willow patrol
or trying to cryptoscam people
arctic talon
Sonar is actively trying to become a hero
hollow lantern
Sonar like Robert says literally got cuffed at the start of the shift
"I wanted to see boobs"
celest cedar
Sonar is incompetent in comparison but he's also a lot more genuine in his wanting to do good
arctic talon
Even if heās doing illegal shit
Coupe is way more competent
But the specific flavor of competency is not what SDN is looking for
jade holly
FlambƩ just does it for the fame
celest cedar
FlambƩ just does it for the fame
Flambae is genuine

Pman is good when you get him in the final call
jade holly
I like how if you fail with him he gets too depressed to do anything lmao

Waterboy in the last call putting himself on calls pissed me off ngl
arctic talon
Which means itās always better from a meta perspective to pick waterboy
willow patrol
Genuinely I wonder if anyone can ace the chapter 3 call

Pman depression is way to big of a liability.

Waterboy in the last call putting himself on calls pissed me off ngl
Water boy solos the boss fight

denoting how the general shape of the character will look
then you refine it over and over
storm jungle

Wrong gang for racist assholes unfortunately
Red Chrome Legion got that shit on lock though

Maelstrom are neonazis iirc?

They are not
They have the aesthetics of a Neo Nazi gang but are not actually Neo Nazis
hollow lantern
I swear they were rooted in it
arctic talon
Which is a weird choice from CDPR
hollow lantern
I believe you tho

No
They got spawned from neonazis tho
And another hate group
But they ended up becoming a freaky insane booster gang

I thought Cathay was extinct
No? Theyāre both factions in the old world
Well
Not Kislev yet
But Cathay is a range
And has rules
rocky gale
But yes Cathay wave 2 is likely
Didn't they already get the second wave

Just finished the Reverie and I think the Resplendent are my favorite space marine chapter now

Im not sure who reccommended severance
Infact I don't think anyone did
They just said it was good
I'm not sure if I need another existential dread show on my plate
I'm sure it's good. I think it's not great for my mind.

17 years old was kind of the average enlisted age for soldiers for most of humanity until less than a century ago.
paper haven
15 Hours had a happy ending though.
He made it past the 15 hour mark. He beat the statistic.
daring creek
He made it past the 15 hour mark. He beat the statistic.
Are you sure thats a good ending dawg.
second time a mf recommended that damn book!
its in my mental list, but still!
paper haven
Given the setting, yeah that's a good ending. Remember what happened to the commissar?
rocky gale
He lived happily ever after?
paper haven
Uh. Sure.
rocky gale
Knew it
daring creek
Did he live only a few minutes past 15 hours or what
paper haven
Unclear.
He made it to dawn, which was definitely past the 15 hour mark but I'm not sure by how much
vagrant fox
That's spoilers
rocky gale
I was expecting it to be something like "He was found dead clutching a broken watch that stopped dead on the 15 hours mark"

Nope.

It was already basically said here

Made it all the way to 16 or even 17 hours

Veteran is a participation title, it holds little meaning.

You mean these totally unprepared conscripts are being fed feet first into a meat grinder and the story is bleak?
daring creek
No mares? The fuck is this why are so many bronies and furries into this series then if theres no anthros??
rocky gale
Bet the plot twist at the end is that an hour on that world lasts a week, so he actually survived for 15 weeks.

I think my favorite plot point is when an overworked office worker accidentally sends them all to their deaths by swapping some decimal points on a spreadsheet

Trained and prepared are not the same thing
winter pine
Imperial Guardsmen probably think just putting down an unhappy planetary uprising is a genuine vacation vs a typical tabletop game
storm jungle
^
funny you say that
thats literally where the protagonist assume hes going which he is
but then the paper work error happens
lmao
paper haven
They were supposed to do that
dapper gyro
Trained and prepared are not the same thing
Huh?
winter pine
I forget if 15 Hours is Orks or Tyranids
Pretty sure it was the Guard trying to fight Xenos right
storm jungle
Orks
paper haven
Huh?
They're conscripts with a few weeks of training. Technically proficient in how to use the equipment but still woefully unprepared to fight orks
storm jungle
its pretty horrific
has that mid-2000's grunge
his entire regiment gets decimated the moment they make landfall
lmao
dapper gyro
So kind of penal legion?
storm jungle
No just an unprepared regiment

Don't forget that The Guardsman's Uplifting Primer literally just lies to them about all the aliens they might be fighting lmao

I THINK thats also suppose to be a parody of WW2 primers where they just outright lie to the troops and show them how easy it is to deal with germans
"The MG42 is really not that impressive"
š
dapper gyro
his entire regiment gets decimated the moment they make landfall
Marines companies die like that, too...
paper haven
I sort of assumed it was the orks gradually getting better because of the constant fighting
dapper gyro
Not out of the ordinary.
paper haven
So kind of penal legion?
No no, just regular imperial guard conscripts.
The Cadians really shift the perception of how the guard functions
storm jungle
yeah idk why people forget this
the entire formation of a Guard Regiment is "it depends"
lol
paper haven
Cadians are basically born soldiers
dapper gyro
I mean, most main line regiment has some pretty loaded training.
paper haven
This guy was like a farmer until two weeks before he's bayonet charging orks
arctic talon
All the famous regiments with notable art/colorplates/minis are the exception
Not the rule
storm jungle
I mean, most main line regiment has some pretty loaded training.
I mean the ones we see sure lol
dapper gyro
Well, fair enough.

A besieged Imperial World when they see both the Cadians and Ultramarines arrive together:

If you want to make an awful regiment from planet nowhereous

No wonder some crack head can wipe out compagnies of Moebian...

World war 1 is hours of monotony with minutes of terror
And then repeat for several years

If youāre lucky youāll get the devious hours of terror draw instead
paper haven
That movie didn't even show the mundane stuff like the mud basically being quicksand
arctic talon
Tbf showing 30 guys downing in mud would be pretty boring
dapper gyro
Depending on the battle field, some of them are more than just trench warfare.
arctic talon
Even if it was a common way to die
I prolly should have specified trench warfare
But yeah
dapper gyro
Like that one time they destroyed a hill from the inside, both side planted explosive.
paper haven
Or the fact that most people survived getting shot and would spend days bleeding to death in no man's land

Would you rather get eaten by rippers, or a nid gun
paper haven
How's the battle going?
Well, jeff got eaten alive so.
daring creek
Unrealistic, that kriegsmen would've suplexed that ork.
arctic talon
Yeah but which one the one that eats your nervous system
Or the one that goes for your most nutritious organs first
paper haven
Fighting the nids at all ends in you getting eaten. The question is whether they bother to kill you first
dapper gyro
Fighting chaos and Deldar is always more horrific than most other enemies.
arctic talon
Nids, chaos and dark eldar are the trifecta lol
dapper gyro
The Necron is especially merciful.
arctic talon
Necrons have some real bad ways to go
dapper gyro
You just die.
dapper gyro
Most of it is still quick.
paper haven
And compared to Chaos and Dark eldar, it's still relatively not terrible
dapper gyro
Slow death is always worse.

Unrealistic, that kriegsmen would've suplexed that ork.

If your nerve dies, most likely you don't feel a thing.
arctic talon
Itās not all at once seemingly
paper haven
There is an upper limit to how much pain you can feel all at once before the brain just cuts that shit off

Based on how orks and marines have been known to survive piercing shots from it
lol
dapper gyro
The ultramarine sgt in pariah nexus twitching after getting shot lmao
Ah yes, the mascot for the 9e and the Primaris Marines.

Unless, you know, chemical methods are applied to keep you conscious

Reminds me of the guy who argued that burning to death was the least painful way to die because eventually all your nerves would fry and you wouldn't feel it anymore
winter pine
There is an upper limit to how much pain you can feel all at once before the bra...
This is more or less Nurgle's way to coerce people into pledging themselves to him I'm pretty sure
"Kind grandfather who cares" my ass
paper haven
My understanding of Nurgle is that- generally- you don't actually feel all that much pain
dapper gyro
Reminds me of the guy who argued that burning to death was the least painful way...
It is so slow and it takes a while to get to that point...
paper haven
If you're a servant that is
dapper gyro
Whoever said that should be purged by fire.

Enemies of nurgle are not spared
storm jungle
with acceptance of life and decay as a cycle

arctic talon
Then he lets you feel it all at once

Nurgle is like abusive relationship 101

That one uh, there was a female guard lieutenant
She tried to escape but ran into a bunch of nurglings

Unrealistic, that kriegsmen would've suplexed that ork.

Orks are not goofy when you're the ones fighting them
