[daring creek]

I am a bitchass slow reader

[celest cedar]

you can finish the entire thing in a day 💀

[daring creek]

When I read something. Its difficult to read anything else for the day

Im often glued to it for hours

And i read...very slowly

And this hh book kinda a slog but thats just my low attention span at its finest

Who just nerd emoji'd me

[celest cedar]

it was me barry

[daring creek]

Pulls off your skin

[dapper gyro]

I haven't been here for long. However, I remember a girl here used to frequent and read and share a lot of stuff about 40K. She left the server, deleted her account. People here just move on.

[daring creek]

These marines are probably written as intentionally pretentious.

[daring creek]

No no as far as I'm concerned I'm a vital community member and without me it would be very lonesome.

I'm not gaslighting myself!

[dapper gyro]

You have to do better than this.

[vagrant fox]

was that the one who had a breakup just before her wedding or was that a different 40k server

Makes me feel sad for that one kid on YouTube

Ryan’s toy reviews was it?

[daring creek]

Theree are many one kids on youtube

[jade holly]

Wasn’t he flat out used by his parents?

[daring creek]

You mean daddyofive?

[vagrant fox]

I was just reading about how that kid who played Aang in the live avatar got bullied into quitting acting

[arctic talon]

this is normal

[vagrant fox]

keep them kids out of media

[dapper gyro]

Kids are the main audience though...

[vagrant fox]

deny them a place in the audience

[dapper gyro]

It is a hard battle.

[rose thorn]

Yeha he did nfts then his parents got in legal trouble I believe. I think the Ryan brand was sold to some Chinese company

[outer wave]

I dont think I'll miss 2025

[dapper gyro]

This year, I have done nothing...

[daring creek]

How did you feel you did this year

[vagrant fox]

I give this year a -2

[daring creek]

I'd like to loath myself but. I've come out on top one way or another despite how uh. Terrible I've felt.

Things have really gone south for me.

[outer wave]

Personally, I felt like I grew as a person; I started to live alone in the dorms up north and met some amazing people, and I learned that I enjoy cooking

[daring creek]

But I'm here at least.

It hurts in a way that's difficult to describe but I'm here.

[jade holly]

I learned I make godly brownies and pigs in a blanket

Eat your heart out Ci Ci’s pizza I stole your gimmick of powdered sugar on brownies and added frosting

feeling like I need to finally sit down and watch htp if they're making jokes about grummz lmfao

[storm jungle]

You really should

[lofty mason]

Are 40k baseline humans stronger than current IRL humans? I assume during the DOAT a lot of humans "enhanced" themselves.

[tough haven]

No

Most often they are weaker

[arctic talon]

Maybe? We dunno

Due to lack of food

[tough haven]

Cause of the shitty conditions

[arctic talon]

Most are horribly malnourished

[tough haven]

All the pollution in their lungs

[vagrant fox]

My suspicion is that is would be pretty variable across the Imperium depending on how much genetics have been messed with or adaptations to local enviroments

[winter pine]

iirc one of the emperor's goals was to clean up and reestablish a baseline for human genetics, I forget which book explained it

[storm jungle]

Theres literally gazillions upon gazillions of humans spread across the Imperium.

Strong, weak, starving, mutated, poisoned, peak endurance, etc

theres no monolith example lol

[vagrant fox]

Orgyns ok

[winter pine]

why didn't the emperor just send up four rock throwing ogryns to face horus? is he stupid?

[languid meadow]

they didn't gain the ability to throw rocks for another 11k years 💔

[terse kestrel]

How do you guys survive knowing Space Wolves would be super cool if they weren’t furries

[rocky gale]

Space Wolves are lame, but that's not why

[vagrant fox]

I just go about my business thinking they're mildly lame either way

[vagrant fox]

Makes sense, I guess the degradation gotta start somewhere

[terse kestrel]

I’m really torn between Vikings and Knights. Space Wolves could be cool, but the mandated fangs and furry freak out just completely kills the group

This is the hottest shit known to 40k, but under all that, he still has fangs…

[rocky gale]

Being a viking is more cringe than being a furry

[vagrant fox]

smh destroy urself

The whole egregious vulfbad the renegade wolf lord of the blood wolves, formerly of the space wolves wolf wolf wolf is the most egregious thing about it

[terse kestrel]

Black Templars are kind of cool because you can sort of adapt any ruleset, and there aren’t many named characters locking down your roster

[rocky gale]

That's not being a furry, that's being a loser

[terse kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-fairly-odd-parents-mr-crocker-crazy-insane-gif-4265161

Dark Angels when they find a fallen (super cool faction)

[vagrant fox]

I don't think they do either the viking aspect of the big furry boy aspect well most of the time but that's my tastes

now the black templars can do no wrong

[terse kestrel]

I think I’d like dark angels over BT if they didn’t have assigned names and helmetless terminators

[storm jungle]

Just like how most weird marine fiction is accepted

hype and aura moments

(not that i personally buy it but lol)

[terse kestrel]

Their upgraded terminators just look like shit compared to standard terminators

Isnt this wrong thou? Shouldnt it be a void tear too? Like didnt cadia get sundered by the void in the end and explode?

--

question from my friend

much appreciated for explanation

if anyone has one

[forest orbit]

The eye split past Cadia

we had a book going at its actual ruins with Creed's Daughter as well

also planetary chunks travel in space

[vagrant fox]

Yeah seems to have missed, as weird as it can be. Some custodes went as well

[forest orbit]

Yah that. Also everything in this game goes past GW curfew so if they said yes to that then its prob fine

[arctic talon]

Cadia ironically did not get swalloed by the Warp when it blew up

[jade holly]

Obligatory the planet broke before the soldiers quip

[humble shoal]

Imagine his gamer rage, it would be magnificent

[rose thorn]

Hey what are Brotherhood of steel fan’s obsession with modding them into crusaders and shit

https://youtube.com/shorts/LLJ0D9ryXys?si=U2GQq0zK2oESOTgt

This is just a dark angel

[plush mason]

the BoS are literally just crusaders

they have paladins knights squires pages and scribes

the scribes being their logistical personnel

and depending on which game you are playing they are ether zealotic technophobes or hermited technophiles

[heady rivet]

Because the Brotherhood is larping as Crusaders hope this helps

[plush mason]

yeah their motive is always the same. "technology destroyed the old world" so they ether horde it to keep it out of other's hands or destroy it

[rose thorn]

They have a knightly order thematically but they aren’t literal knights and shit. They don’t go to the holy lands and pray to god. Their mission is still “we need to horde all the good shit because everyone else is stupid dirty people tee hee” then kill everything

https://tenor.com/view/jerma985-shirt-open-shirtless-tearing-up-superman-gif-9062824345920702260

[heady rivet]

Yes but the larp is still there. In a similar vein, the Ultramarines larp Romans but arent assassinating the Chapter Master every other day. Its a theme, not their whole identity. Its literally JUST a mask

[rose thorn]

But I’m also an Institute fan

So I am based

[heady rivet]

I dont mean to sound rude but, uh

Why

Me when I have to kill and replace people and then refuse to explain why to the guy that will then take over my job

They're such an undercooked "bad guy" faction, AND one that looked better in the ART BOOK by the way

[rose thorn]

They are the worst, they are the bogey men of the commonwealth who was utterly ruined by 1 guy

[plush mason]

they use literal knight ranks and titles and treat their mission as a holy crusade to save the world so

[heady rivet]

Even the Legion, with most of their content cut and riding on ONE guys mind-vision has more depth

[plush mason]

about the only thing they are missing is shouting Deus vault in battle

[heady rivet]

Its just a mask to legitimize their BS

[plush mason]

maybe for those at the top

but even many of the paladins believe it

[heady rivet]

Also the big issue with the BoS is the West Coast is still a cult-like organization compared to the East Coast which is more closer to the pre-war military, even AFTER Lyons

So its two very different cultures

[rose thorn]

They are great, I love them are deeper than you would think if you just go “burrrr kill kill”. Obviously they aren’t the best but they have so many fun themes and quirks

I played all the fallout games except brotherhood and tactics (it won’t work) and 4 is my favorite. It’s obviously not the best but it’s writing style and themes have shined alot for me recently

I love synths too

[winter pine]

Tactics is in that weird limbo area for me of "Is it actually worth playing?"

Fallout 1 and 2 are CRPG kino and worth it, Tactics just seems way more mixed in opinion

[rose thorn]

1 and 2 are a struggle. For every great thing it has there is. Like 2 bad things and 1 amazing thing

You probably need to play at least once

[winter pine]

I still wonder how different the original games would have played if they kept the rights to use GURPS

Heard conflicting things on whether the two US troops killing the Canadian in the intro movie to Fallout 1 was the reason Steven Jackson Games backed out of the agreement

[rose thorn]

Lmao

Tbf reality mimicked fiction thetr

[dapper gyro]

People love the power armour troupe.

[rose thorn]

I imagine they would mostly be the same just have different stat names

[dapper gyro]

Fallout power armour however, is not as bulletproof as fans like to make it out to be.

[rose thorn]

In lore power armor is horrifically flawed lmao, the battle for Alaska wasn’t as smooth as the us says it was even with it

It’s pretty funny

Considering some jet head in a sewer system made a special power fist that obliterates power armor

[jade holly]

HOW FUCKING TALL IS THIS GUY???

Deathmarks are 6-7 fucking feet tall and he dwarfs it

[rose thorn]

At least 2 space marines I’d say

[dapper gyro]

Generally speaking, it won't stop something like 7.62x51. Before anyone says that it is "not that weak", 7.62x51 can defeat a 5mm steel plate at close range, which is thick and heavy as fuck.

[jade holly]

Szeras bro, leave some height for everyone else

I honestly think he’s 20’ tall

17’ at the lowest

[rose thorn]

This flaw was specially pointed out in the show which is fun

[dapper gyro]

About 7-8m

[rose thorn]

X-01, X-02, black devil, and even some raider armors tried to fix the flaw with the use of electricity ahd shit to melt the bullets before they hit or something. I have no clue how it works

Which I doubt is healthy for the already extremely stressed out power system

[dapper gyro]

I don't remember if it can do that.

[rose thorn]

Overboss power armor is like, the main example

I believe black devil/tesla armor shows it in game too but I am not 100% certain

[jade holly]

Is the T-45 actually durable?

[dapper gyro]

A lot of stuff in Fallout is satire from real life, like having a list of requirements for a project doesn't mean the project could ever meet the requirements.

[rose thorn]

Yeah it just has weak spots

[jade holly]

Like around the joints and neck?

[rose thorn]

Yeah and the under side of that breast plate thing

[jade holly]

Cause I remember seeing a clip of The Ghoul shooting a Power armored troop in the neck

But then again idk what guns he’s rocking

Could be insanely powerful bullets idk

[dapper gyro]

Like people think that the AN94 or G11 burst fire is to defeat armour, but both the Russian and German engineers denied such a claim.

[rose thorn]

It’s a gyro jet pistol but as he says in Alaska the Chinese were able to get through it wuth I assume the Chinese assault rifles

And sniper rifles

I believe the t-51 had similar issues and the t-60 still had them

[jade holly]

Are we gonna get a new Necron book in 500 worlds at all?

[rose thorn]

God knows what’s even gonna be in 500 worlds

[jade holly]

500 Worlds sounds like it’s gonna be a big event

Like I know at least we’re getting a major, MAJOR antagonist in Nekrosor Ammentar given he’s The first destroyer

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[dapper gyro]

T60 is less protected than T51, but more modular.

[jade holly]

What’s the likelihood of new Combat Patrols?

[rose thorn]

I think we’re getting boxes similar to combat patrols but not really
. like boarding patrols

[jade holly]

I heard ppl say Orkz are getting big stuff but idk if that’s true

Considering we got a reveal for Huron I wouldn’t be surprised if we got an entire Red Corsairs Codex

[rose thorn]

Ppl say they are the BBEG of 11th

[jade holly]

I mean in lore isn’t Ghaz on his way back to Armageddon?

[rose thorn]

I have zero clue, I only read about the faction I play now a days

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[jade holly]

Which is?

[opaque coyote]

Like canonically the power armors are described as being able to turn a person

Into a walking tank

Although their primary use was actually to carry heavier weaponry

[rose thorn]

[jade holly]

Ew

[rose thorn]

THE CHILDREN OF THE STAR GODS

[jade holly]

40K Skaven

[opaque coyote]

Like a Minigun wouldn't be viable to carry normally

[rose thorn]

THE IMPERIUM SHALL DIE WITH THEIR FALSE GOD AND WE WILL ASCEND

[opaque coyote]

But with power armor now you have a person casually logging around a minigun

[rose thorn]

That’s an insult

[opaque coyote]

And then running towards you

[jade holly]

Looking at a GSC is an insult

[opaque coyote]

I love Fallout's power armors

Don't tell anybody I said this

But I think they're cooler than 40k power armors

[rose thorn]

Facts

[opaque coyote]

Mostly because of the obvious progression and variation between versions

Along with each of them having extremely distinct looks

Except the T-60

The T-60 in lore is literally just a refurbished T-45

Although we all know it's just Bethesda being lazy

[rose thorn]

Gsc and skaven have like zero similarities outside of being a hoard army

[opaque coyote]

Tbf the T-60 still looks great

[rose thorn]

T-51 is my favorite

[opaque coyote]

And Bethesda did a great job with the power armor designs in general

[jade holly]

They hide under/within cities and by the time you realize they’re there, it’s too late

[rose thorn]

literlaly every chaos faction does that

[opaque coyote]

It's popular to like it but fuck it.

X-01.

I just like how it looks similar to a mantis.

[rose thorn]

Fucking Fec and Gitz do that

[opaque coyote]

With the big bug like eyes

[rose thorn]

X-01 is great, I like how it’s existence is kinda mysterious

[opaque coyote]

Unlike the previous power armors which were supposed to simulate something similar to knights.

The X-01 is much more omnious

Closer to a monster if anything

[rose thorn]

Tbf it was made by baiscally the pre war Illuminati

[opaque coyote]

Which is perfect for the Enclave

Although X-02 and Hellfire is also great

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. Also I just realized how much fallout sorta predicted our future and I hate it

[rose thorn]

I like how much the US became overly dependent on power armor to the point that it caused an economical collapse

[opaque coyote]

Secret government cabal?

Check

[jade holly]

What about Frank Horrigan?

Is that his name?

[rose thorn]

He was a pre war project that was only finished by the time of fallout 1 at least

[opaque coyote]

"You've gotten a lot farther than you should have. But then you haven't met me... Frank Horrigan either."

[rose thorn]

According to wasteland warfare they made another

[opaque coyote]

TLDR; The Enclave tested a lot with the FEV.

[jade holly]

Bro had 10 in every stat

[opaque coyote]

Frank Horrigan was a soldier tested with it

Sometime after the bombs fell but before fallout 1

[rose thorn]

Yee

[opaque coyote]

And became what's essentially the most horrific super mutant

With his intelligence somewhat diminished but definitely still there

I mean he calls us a mutie and yet he looks like that

[rose thorn]

We lvoeee brain washing

[opaque coyote]

Also if there is one thing I wish returns from the classic games.

1. The option to shoot the crotch

[jade holly]

I hate this double tap react feature

So much

[opaque coyote]

2. A better gore system

[opaque coyote]

Same

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though it is still fucking hilarious that you can outright just go for the crotch

[rose thorn]

They tried with 4 but it was pretty limited

[opaque coyote]

Yeah, it's kinda sad

[rose thorn]

Some creatures can have their limbs blown off and still be alive

[jade holly]

I LOVE WAR RAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH

[opaque coyote]

I honestly think that if that was implemented better.

It would've been fucking awesome

[rose thorn]

Ghouls, mirelurks, even fucking deathclaws lmao

[rose thorn]

I think they made the game combat too easy

[opaque coyote]

Especially for humans

[opaque coyote]

Fallout 4's balancing is uhh

Trash

[rose thorn]

Yeah mami

Lmao

[jade holly]

How well would Frank do in 40K actually?

[rose thorn]

He would die in like 5 taps lmao

[opaque coyote]

Basically in later levels uhh

The enemies all become bullet sponges

They don't become harder

[jade holly]

Mean realistically isn’t he just a tiny Krork?

[opaque coyote]

They just eat lead like it's breakfast

To the point where it's genuinely annoying

[rose thorn]

He is basically as strong as a space marine in lore

[opaque coyote]

Seriously I don't know about you

[rose thorn]

All builds return to stealth builds

Like in Skyrim

[opaque coyote]

But I don't think that even a deathclaw should be able to tank like several bullets

[rose thorn]

Thier limbs need to be harder to break

[opaque coyote]

Stealth builds are sorta neutered in Fallout 4 as well

Like genuinely FO4 is probably the worst balancing wise

76 is better

I'm not joking

76 has a wider weapon pool where each are viable

[rose thorn]

Yeah, but in 76 it takes a decade to progress anything lol

[opaque coyote]

4 doesn't have that

[jade holly]

Plus you can be a ghoul

And go feral

Willingly

[opaque coyote]

It's gameplay ik

But I still find it funny that the method to prevent becoming feral?

Take drugs

Any drugs

[rose thorn]

You can do it in 4 now officially

[opaque coyote]

[rose thorn]

It’s literally the exact same system

[jade holly]

Mods you pay for?

Or

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[opaque coyote]

Like becoming Feral is described as dementia basically

[rose thorn]

They are all very high quality though

[opaque coyote]

So I find it immensely funny how to stave it off is just

"TAKE THE EQUIVALENT OF METH"

"TAKE PSYCHO"

[rose thorn]

There’s 2 really bad ones tho on the market rn, luckily their dogshit value is blatantly obvious

[jade holly]

You reminded me

There was a mod in Skyrim that added train

[opaque coyote]

It's really too bad that everytime Bethesda "updates" their games.

[jade holly]

Dwemer trains

And it was awesome

[opaque coyote]

It just ruins even more things

And adds new bugs

Most of the time

And the only successful remasters are literally by other companies

[jade holly]

You even had a ghost Dwemer who acted as your… the fuck are train drivers called?

[rose thorn]

Fallout 4 works perfectly fine on a fresh install with no mods, so I had no issues with the new update

[opaque coyote]

Every remaster update for Fallout 4 literally added bugs

[rose thorn]

Literally installing any mod on that install though breaks it

[opaque coyote]

Exactly.

[rose thorn]

Even if you deleted it

[opaque coyote]

That shouldn't fucking happen

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[opaque coyote]

Especially for the CC mods

[hollow lantern]

What makes you think that?

[rose thorn]

What’s funny is the paid ones worked fine

The free community ones didn’t

My guess is it had to do with copy protection breaking

[opaque coyote]

I say sorta.

It's not that they're less effective, it's just that there's less options.

[rose thorn]

Or

The paid content mods go directly to dlc

While the community mods go in the mod folder

[hollow lantern]

Thats fo4 in general imo

Unarmed might as well not exist

[opaque coyote]

It's the thing I dislike about fallout 4 ultimately

[winter pine]

it's genuinely insane to me how much of a gameplay downgrade 4 is from New Vegas

[rose thorn]

I think melee stealth needs to be better

[jade holly]

Damn I kinda wanna do a Terminator armor Frank Horrigan now lmao

[rose thorn]

Fallout 4 is my favorite tho so I’ll defend it

[winter pine]

No poisons, no different ammo types, no unlockable unarmed moves

[hollow lantern]

Better?

Have you played a 4 melee stealth build

You teleport behind people and one shot them

[rose thorn]

They literally never worked for me

[winter pine]

DEATH BATTLE: Titus vs Frank Horrigan

[rose thorn]

They always detected me during the attack animation lmao

Every copy of fallout 4 is personalized

(The game breaks differently)

[opaque coyote]

Generally

The gunplay and power armor is much better

But I think overall it's a downgrade.

How do I say this ..

The RPG element got neutered

[hollow lantern]

I genuinely don't think the gunplay is better

Mainly because every gun inside a class feels the same

[winter pine]

The improvement in gunplay from NV to 4 is vastly overstated

[hollow lantern]

An auto laser rifle and an auto combat rifle are basically the same gun

[winter pine]

Not really that different imo

[rose thorn]

Fallout 4 suffers from having like, basically 6 guns

[hollow lantern]

And no pump shotgun, the best gun

[opaque coyote]

Objectively it is better

But it isn't good

[winter pine]

Hunting Shotgun in NV is GOAT'd

[rose thorn]

I swear to god it was removed last minute, because there icons specially for pump shotguns and everything

[winter pine]

Dunno how they made that thing punch so hard about its weight in a crusty engine like Gamebyro

[dapper gyro]

Fallout 4 relied too much on the modularity of the weapons.

[rose thorn]

Laser musket is cool tho, I really like it

[opaque coyote]

Riot Shotgun and Turbo

My favorite

[opaque coyote]

Again 76 fixed this which is surprising.

Genuinely a lot of the weapons are fun

Even got some older ones

[rose thorn]

76 is secretly the best fallout game

[opaque coyote]

From past games

[rose thorn]

/hj

[opaque coyote]

76 definitely improved a lot from launch

[hollow lantern]

You can tell 4 was a testbed for 76

[rose thorn]

It secretly has fixed every single flaw with fallout

[opaque coyote]

I hope that they don't have such a poopy fucking launch again

[winter pine]

76 adding an Assaultron with fishnets made it the best Fallout game

[opaque coyote]

Not really tbh.

Card system works for 76 due to it being multiplayer

But I wouldn't want it in like

Fallout 5

[dapper gyro]

Not really...

[rose thorn]

I don’t hate it

But it is confusing

And doenst help with early game at all

[winter pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1ADGzN1_A&t=5s

[dapper gyro]

The effort put into the story elements is still huge for fallout 4.

[hollow lantern]

?????

[opaque coyote]

I don't hate it either

But I also think that it only really works for 76. It's a live service after all

[hollow lantern]

The only good story elements were in far harbor

Fo4 has a god awful msq

[rose thorn]

Oh another assaultron you can canonically have sex with??

[dapper gyro]

Being awful still takes effort to make.

[winter pine]

afaik Jesse was never added to 76 which is a shame

[opaque coyote]

Emil Macko needs to be fired.

"Yeah I just had Kellogg be in Nick's body and did nothing with it. Nobody would notice it right?"

Everybody notices the hanging plot thread

[rose thorn]

Her spirit lives in the assualtron camp companion

[opaque coyote]

That's actually the excuse he gave btw

[rose thorn]

Which you can ahve sex with

[opaque coyote]

That nobody would care

[dapper gyro]

Write me a 30 pages short story that is half as interesting if you can.

[opaque coyote]

BITCH PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT SOMETHING OUT OF A CENTURY OLD ASSASSIN BEING A ROBOT DETECTIVES BODY

[rose thorn]

I really like fallout 4’s story, it is the most over hatted part of the game imo

[winter pine]

Todd telling the Fallout 76 developers he knows what the players want be like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRIUk0x8X2Y

[opaque coyote]

I think FO4 had a lot of good ideas

The execution is mixed

It is basically "potential man"

[hollow lantern]

You're allowed to.

[rose thorn]

The lack of a true chaotic faction holds it back

They wanted to add gunners as a joinable faction

[dapper gyro]

Being bad doesn't necessarily mean there is no work.

[opaque coyote]

They also tried with Nuka world

They uh

[rose thorn]

But they didn’t finish it and scrapped it

[opaque coyote]

Did nothing with it

Thanks bethesda

[rose thorn]

It was like 75% of the way there lmao

I assume the gameplay would ahve been basically the same thing as minutemen but you don’t have to build settlements

[opaque coyote]

I do think Fallout 4 does have some good writing moments.

Danse's story quest is good.

[hollow lantern]

I didn't say there was no work, I said it was a testbed.

[opaque coyote]

But also

[raven stone]

Dec 31st.
Damn I spent too much of this holiday gaming.

[opaque coyote]

Considering how much 76 sucked at launch it definitely wasn't.

Also 76 was done by their b-team

Basically an entirely different studio than 4

[raven stone]

Very early morning from the UK (trying to fix my fucked up sleep cycles, and finally succeeding)

[dapper gyro]

Story still more than 50% of the content, which 76 doesn't have much in game for a long time.

[opaque coyote]

But what is the same about bethesda

is that

...

they always fuck up the launch

horribly

[rose thorn]

Imo I don’t think any of the 4 main factions need a Change in 4, just add another true evil/chaotic faction and not make the minutemen the “I fucked up the story whoops” option like yes man

[opaque coyote]

bethesda please just have one decent launch

[opaque coyote]

I think the Institute needs serious rewriting, and the railroad should not exist

[rose thorn]

I love the railroad and institute, They are my two favorite factions in the series

[raven stone]

The 76 launch will be meme’d to death. Even if they patched it up well later.

[opaque coyote]

or shouldn't be a main faction

because holy shit is their main story boring

The only interesting character there is deacon

[dapper gyro]

Fallout 4 side quests are fun imo.

[rose thorn]

Institute is perfect, it is a super genius insane scientist faction that was utterly obliterated by an old man who utterly crashes out due to not having his mommy and daddy

[opaque coyote]

tbf the genius scientist faction raised said old man

and the old man spouts out their ideals

[rose thorn]

By the time of fallout 4 this is the lowest the institute has ever been

[opaque coyote]

and the institute is fine idea wise

[hollow lantern]

Synthetic fuckin gorillas man

[opaque coyote]

it's just that it legitmately is just written badly

[rose thorn]

He is utterly insane and obsessed with having a proxy family and being a facist

It’s so funny

I play institute in wasteland warfare so I’m biased

[opaque coyote]

I just think that the Institute really needed a rewrite or two.

It takes so long for them to even communicate properly what the fuck they even want to do

[dapper gyro]

Considering how they are working with the Fallout show maker, I do think that they learnt some of the lessons.

Unlike the other show...

[rose thorn]

Literlaly what would you change tho?

[dapper gyro]

Such as bad as the game story wise.

[rose thorn]

I think the game needs to be longer

It would have helped with the boogy man stuff

The intended way the game wants you to play is to do all the quest with all the 4 factions then pick one and finish the game with them

So it’s weird

That’s why you hop between at least 2 different factions in every faction quest line

To do an institute play through without obliterating the railroad you need to do 3 faction quest lines lmao

[winter pine]

Institute didn't lean enough on the "we'll pay you great and treat you like a valued employee" like New Vegas does with House I think

[opaque coyote]

They have an incredibly mixed goal of destablizing any form of governance, dumping super mutants into the surface, etc. Meanwhile they also want to hide from the surface, presumably to wait for the outside world to kill themselves off and rule the ashes. They also just... replace people with synths, sometimes for actual important espionage missions.

But sometimes it's just to replace a random fucking person for zero reason.

[rose thorn]

They don’t really do the corpo stuff tho, they are more about being a bladerunner thing

[opaque coyote]

I think that at least, there needs to be a clearer communication of their goals earlier in the story.

And not when you're already deep into their questline.

Along with that, I think it would be interesting for inter-factional conflict.

That would be a good explanation for their conflicting actions.

[rose thorn]

Super mutants being dumped off on the surface was a consequence of father coming to power. He then forced all man power to go into synth research which caused a load of issues lmao

Before father they did try to communicate with the surface but he ended that and preferred to just troll people

[opaque coyote]

It wasn't actually due to that.

Because father is 60ish years old.

And the FEV experiments ended in 2227

But, his appearance did make them switch to synth production instead.

Because they finally had pure untainted dna

leaving the project abandoned

to progress further into the synth part

So the institute legitmately just threw the super mutants to the surface before father even existed.

In fact a lot of their worst actions are before Father

[rose thorn]

That is true yeah

[opaque coyote]

The sabotaging of the commonwealth government as another example.

Before Father.

[rose thorn]

Lmao

Yeha

[opaque coyote]

Father is a product of the institute

not vice versa

He just parrots their ideas

[rose thorn]

He does cause a shitload of issues and a divide in the institute

[opaque coyote]

He didn't make it worse, he just continued the path they were already in.

[rose thorn]

A handful of scientists (mostly in terminals or railroad quests) talk about thier grievances with father, and when the sole survivor joins it causes a coup lmao

[rose thorn]

Fair

[opaque coyote]

I think that could've been better if they went further with that idea. And also explain why their actions are conflicting to a degree.

[rose thorn]

Oh yeah I can definitely agree with that

[opaque coyote]

That's the direction I would go

[rose thorn]

I wish fallout 4’s story was at least 2 hours longer for every faction

[opaque coyote]

Also the reason why I think the railroad shouldn't have been part of the main questline is that.

Their main thing is about saving synths. Which is interesting, but it isn't really enough to carry them.

I think Bethesda tried to make something similar to Mr. House?

Where their goal is smaller scale compared to the rest

[rose thorn]

?

Oh

Railroad is weird, they are fun to do the spy stuff tho and being the under dogs of under dogs

I think they just aren’t given enough time and room

They were implemented late in development despite being there from the start

[dapper gyro]

They are just a small side faction.

[rose thorn]

Railroad in lore is a lot bigger of a faction then they seem

You just don’t get to see it

[dapper gyro]

Every fallout game has something like that.

[rose thorn]

They have a whole system, they have multiple hidden outposts, they have pretty good weapons

They also exist outside of Boston, I assume across alot of the east coast

But they aren’t given their flowers

[opaque coyote]

I think the Railroad and Minutemen questline should've been fused together

[rose thorn]

They have specific operations for actual slaves

[opaque coyote]

The railroad and some of their quests should be part of a side questline

[rose thorn]

That would ahve been fun, if gunners were added I could have seen that happening

[opaque coyote]

While some of the bigger ones like checking out their old base should've been part of the fused

It also makes sense

[rose thorn]

I think they needed more locations

[opaque coyote]

The Railroad keeps their goals small primarily because they are low in resources and manpower

The Minutemen are the faction you built up

Your help of settlements, your work, your establishment

The Railroad have more knowledge of the institute than anybody other than the institute themselves

[rose thorn]

Minutemen and railroad also have the most cross over

[opaque coyote]

Also that weird predictive ai thing

[opaque coyote]

Honestly

I think the BoS should've been more evil

It would've been fun

I always wanted to make up a fallout campaign where the BoS was the main threat

Since their main codex could be interpreted in many different ways

[rose thorn]

oh yeah did you know eldar lions cannoncially was in boston before he died?

elder*

[opaque coyote]

Really?

[jade holly]

Very easily to be the aggressive acquisition of other factions’ or peoples’ tech?

[opaque coyote]

"Through discourse, we gain the strength of our Brothers' minds."

"Give way your suspicions to the wisdom of thine Elder. Where he shows trust, so shall you."

"Shield yourself from those not bound to you by steel, for they are the blind. Aid them when you can, but lose not sight of yourself."

"Fear those who do not pledge to the Brotherhood for though their eyes may be opened through service, they are now blind."

"We do not help them, or let them in. We keep knowledge they must never have."

[rose thorn]

fallout waslteand warfares has a campaign where lions' brotherhood was in a conflict with the forged

[opaque coyote]

Yeah, I thought of an intentionally oppressive chapter where they're more like a warlord state of sorts.

[jade holly]

Also new pfp what we thinking

[opaque coyote]

Basically, stealing technology from anybody

And intentionally keeping them the peasants

[jade holly]

Bro can Szeras be in any better lighting ffs

[opaque coyote]

Basically the meme where the BoS bullies a waste lander who found a toaster or something

Basically, oppressing the normal people and intentionally keeping them from ever progressing.

To the point where it's basically feudalism

With towns having a Lord from said Chapter

[jade holly]

Would either of these be better for my pfp?

How about this?

Fuck way too dark

Third time’s the charm

[languid meadow]

I love how he's a reddit atheist

[jade holly]

Do not use such unscientific words in my presence

[languid meadow]

😭

[jade holly]

Damn gotta change my name now since my pfp isn’t Szarekh anymore

Fixed it

Yes I just added an “an” to it

[arctic talon]

Minutemen and Railroad lowkey should have just been 1 united group

lol

[lament shoal]

STFU GREENSKIN! I'M FUCKING BALLING!!

Model is by u/Grangure_Creatures

[celest cedar]

the right

[shadow plover]

real

[lament shoal]

Does the dark mechanicus have their own version of the skitarii?

[winged jacinth]

Yeah i don't remember them having a special name or anything really but you read about them in titan novels

[arctic talon]

Yes they still have skitarii

[lament shoal]

Thx guys

[celest dome]

Iirc their Skitarii are more varied than the forces of the Admech

[daring creek]

skibitarri

[celest dome]

I'm not mad
Just disappointed

[daring creek]

u mad cuz it works so well.

[arctic talon]

The addition of daemon weapon and armor skitarii adds a lot more variety

lol

[storm jungle]

Gabe is kind aweird

hes a harvard dropout who runs one of the biggest gaming enterprises ever and i dont think hes a bad guy but like he also sits on his ass all day apparently playing dota or answering emails lmao

sure wish all of us had the billions to do that lol

[glass drum]

Half-Life Fans making fun of his fat ass was their biggest regret lol

[storm jungle]

their biggest regret was that games award fiasco

[celest cedar]

can this even be counted as eccentric billionaire type deal

[storm jungle]

I dont really think so, he just innovates for gaming stuff

and hes not exactly arrogant with his money as far as we know

[celest cedar]

I think brotha just did everything in life

[storm jungle]

Basically lol

[celest cedar]

and old

[storm jungle]

i do kinda hate the way valve works but cest la vie

[celest cedar]

yeah..

neglecting tf2 for years letting it fester with cheaters

[storm jungle]

i was never as mad as when they finally showed footage of Episode 3 and all the cool ideas for it that they just dorpped because "we kinda didnt wanna do it" lmao

[glass drum]

Does valve even do anything anymore?

[storm jungle]

The voice actors for it are more passionate than the devs lol

They do lol

they are literally releasing a new gaming rig

Valve is like the mechanicus but reverse, they innovate and futurize but do it sloooowly.

[celest cedar]

theyre in a position of just maintaining steam and also their 2 esports main titles

[storm jungle]

^

[celest cedar]

CS 2 n DOTA 2

[storm jungle]

They literally sit and make infinite money

they sat on a monopoly

aka Steam

[celest cedar]

at least Riot games is trying to do something else other than maintaining LoL

[storm jungle]

its the equilavent of Bezos discovering "hey we can just take peoples stuff to other people using cargo"

[glass drum]

The high life

[storm jungle]

when you discover and monopolize a basic concept people always needed you are basically set for life lol

[glass drum]

Only thing i didnt like Riot did was selling themselves to Tencent

[storm jungle]

Riot has always been a shitty company

[glass drum]

Every new champ is just a sex appeal champion to lure gooners

[storm jungle]

I mean

they've been doing that sicne League's inception

its a dominantly male-gaze game

[daring creek]

fucking wow

Probably not even true but

[storm jungle]

Its literally on his wiki lol

[daring creek]

why can't I get billions of dollars sitting on my ass all day!

[storm jungle]

he dropped out to go create Valve and HL1 lol

[glass drum]

Well they dont make champs like rengar or any other race
Even if they do it turns into a sexy demon

[storm jungle]

Pretty much

also being actively homophobic lmao

the shit some of the writers say they had to go through is hilarious

like an obviously gay character never being able to be told is gay bcause Riot is like "Erm dont do that"

[daring creek]

Oh yeah gabe likes mlp

Nice

[celest cedar]

yeah they always have to have the chinese audience in mind

[storm jungle]

Yeah its like Rivals

[glass drum]

Hwei could been a sick new Ink mage (like jax)
But no we got a Twink with a small ass brush

[celest cedar]

they never agreed on their stance of the LGBTQ 💀

[storm jungle]

better to never address it and upset their homophobic playerbase lol

tho they sometimes get nice crumbs with a few skimpy-ish male skins

but uhhh even thats rare

[glass drum]

Didnt they explicity make a Graves and Twisted fate emote where they were practically kissing
The entire fan base blew up

[storm jungle]

yeah but "practically" lmao

because Riot is very much against that stuff

[glass drum]

They redid the emote instantly irc

[storm jungle]

KEK

YEP

[glass drum]

If they didnt wanna trigger ppl should've just left it alone

[storm jungle]

Bad news, that upsets their homophobic chinese overlords

[queen laurel]

The homophobic Chinese overlords request another sexy champion

Get back to work

[sacred ginkgo]

I wonder if the homophobic Chinese shareholders are like the homophobic american politicians

[celest cedar]

sexism yep

[glass drum]

I just hope if we get a LoL mmorpg it wouldnt be so much what League's favoured champs to give skins to

Or recent champ desings just to appeal to male audience

[storm jungle]

Im never ever touching these games so, more Arcane please

https://tenor.com/view/jinx-chad-arcane-league-of-legends-mewing-gif-14157344817191900030

[glass drum]

Like comon wheres my ugly bastard villain characters

[queen laurel]

I mean like have you seen the new darkin?

F***** looks like a supermodel

And they're supposed to be corrupted ascendants

[glass drum]

Bruh i was so disappointed when i saw the trailer already

I was like no another GOOD LOKING MOFO DEMON RACE

[queen laurel]

Yeah arcane style ain't saving that shit

[glass drum]

Good designs died with aatrox

Even i prefer aatroxs old look

Also so stupid that he was suppose to look like this too

Id prefer the bird

Not this Super model from shurima

[celest cedar]

ugh his trailer look is so good

[glass drum]

I would've understand his human face is alright

[glass drum]

But i didnt like how he almost looks identical to his darkin face too

Sorry peeps ive just been ranting

[queen laurel]

Like I genuinely appreciate Fortiches animation style but even that couldn't save his design that looks like a generic war angel that looks pretty

[glass drum]

[celest cedar]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Grimdank/comments/1q04jaj/every_level_of_space_marine_2/#lightbox

💀

[glass drum]

Yeh the direction for their designs just to make it look more appealing is making me disinterested in League

[sacred ginkgo]

Titus could've been (inter human) racist and nobody would know because it was pre conditoning

[hallow saddle]

me firing off an email to gaben

a couple emails

[green loom]

I don't see the problem

[torn zinc]

For 40k universe lovers ... Are there any movies / series / anime related to the lore ?

[green loom]

There's a few animated shows

Weirdly the longest running one so far is Blacktalon for AoS

Which yakno fair it's pretty good

[torn zinc]

Is there a list for them

[shadow plover]

[green loom]

https://warhammertv.com/

they have more or less everything there

[torn zinc]

Thanks guys 🙏

[green loom]

Or on warhammerplus

Idr

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVhKvl0s6Bs

[storm jungle]

Yeah they once in awhile release new 2D and 3D animations of varying quality

[winged jacinth]

Shoutout to the best house meme of all time

[glass drum]

Lore related to any main story like Horus Heresy or Great Crusade
Barely anything that took place in 30k are rarely made into movies/short films

Honestly think they'd be good stories to make out of but i think their intentionally leaving it out
Cuz idk if they can deliver a cinematic scenes on how they portray them on books

[storm jungle]

30k/HH arent really the "main story"

they are background slop that barely have anything to do with modern 40k

[tough haven]

Did this come out? Is it any good?

[green loom]

Not yet

[tough haven]

True

Please o’ gods let there never be a 30k series

Gonna be longer than one piece

I stg if that’s what the 40K Amazon series is I’m gonna scream

[storm jungle]

Aside from the Emperor getting enthroned they basically add nothing to modern 40k

[tough haven]

HH content basically boils down to a handful of events that can be effectively summed up in roughly a paragraph or two

[storm jungle]

yep lol

[tough haven]

People will be like “but you need all this context to understand 40K”

❌

[storm jungle]

Yeah you very much dont lol

like the biggest new revelation that came out of it was the Dark King but... we literally never had any shit in 40k hinting at it, ever. And the post-Siege material has also mentioned nothing of it as well

[tough haven]

“The Emperor was a very powerful man with the biggest lack of foresight ever, he had a lot of kids, that mostly fucked up. The Emperor got hurt and then relaxed on a chair for 10,000 years”

Now without big E to keep the space trains running on time, shits fucked

Pretty much caught up

[storm jungle]

Yep lol

95% of the Heresy is filler

[celest dome]

People vastly overestimate the warhammer lore

It's very easy to understand 40k.
There are people who want to oppress or kill other people, you're one of them

[tough haven]

80% of it is shit like what brother chocula ate for breakfast before the siege of WhoCares

6 paragraphs of lore

Most important lynchpin of any xenos lore, 2 sentences

[storm jungle]

accurate

[vagrant fox]

Which codex had a bit about Eldrad warning the Emperor the whole shit was stupid and then it was changed to him warning Fulgrim or something

[fervent geode]

I dont recall unfortunately, but i think both things (or smth similar) happened at some point

I just remember something like Eldrad warning Fulgrim on Tarsus, Vespasian saying hey maybe he has a point, and Eidolon just being a shithead, Vespasian ends up dead

[vagrant fox]

Seems to be 3rd ed
The emperor needed a few more xitter style callouts that'd have solved things

[dapper gyro]

Who do they think I am? An orgryn?

[vagrant fox]

wha

[hallow saddle]

💀

💀

[rose thorn]

Mf this event hasn’t even happened yet lmao

[vagrant fox]

I reckon that's the joke but I find it a little strange

[rose thorn]

Also crazy how the most listened audiobooks don’t match up with the book of the year

[valid needle]

An interesting part from the scouring is Dorn can’t remember if the emperor told him no or now when Dorn was putting him on the throne and effectively sealing his fate

[storm jungle]

Which basically wont be relevant either tbh

[languid meadow]

Fallout episode 3....

So peak

||rest in piss bozo||

[valid needle]

No spoilers

I fucking hate how they depict the bos in this though

It’s completely wrong

Hopefully the commonwealth bos fuck them up though

[languid meadow]

I mean yes and no

Brotherhood knights and paladins have always been a bit stupid

They act like jarheads in 1 and 4

[valid needle]

Of course but this brotherhood seems more like raiders. Even the scribes. Every time we’ve seen the brotherhood in game yes they’ve been jerks but they’ve always been professional.

Especially scribes and elders. But in the show something just seems odd.

And this whole fractured rival chapters? It has never been like that. Where is the high elder? Where is lost hills (Brotherhood High Command)?

[languid meadow]

After the BoS-NCR war the other chapters start really popping up each different from the last, we'll probably figure out what happened to them down the line but the chapters not liking each other has been a thing since tactics

[valid needle]

Of course but we see in fallout 4 from computer entries that lost hills survived, the high elder survived and it was lost hills who lifted the east coast brotherhood’s excommunication.

[young pecan]

I haven't seen the show yet but I mean, the BoS has always raided to hoard technology, no?

[valid needle]

Presumably, Maxson should have ascended to High Elder by this point but he’s not even mentioned in the show.

[languid meadow]

Wait I'm pretty sure Maxson is the high elder now that was a thing in S1 but I could be misremembering

[valid needle]

No like they actual seem like ragtag raiders. How they act and how they look. The first scene the brotherhood are in in season one is one of the aspirants jerking off. Like what?

[valid needle]

He’s never been mentioned, nor has lost hills nor even high elder itself.

[languid meadow]

I mean they're human

[valid needle]

Of course

Something just seems off about this brotherhood.

Hopefully we see something of the commonwealth brotherhood (maxsons) and get some explanation on why this brotherhood is so different and becoming traitors.

Waiting on my GF getting home so we can watch tonight’s episode

[rocky gale]

You mean like how recruits in basic training act, which is basically what aspirants are

[valid needle]

Maybe I’m just too used to them being stuck up pricks in games

Lyons was chill though

But he was technically excommunicated for directly disobeying the high elder when the high elder ordered him to abandon the people of DC to die and for the DC brotherhood to return to lost hills.

[tough haven]

I’m not watching the fallout show, between it not wanting to decide which canonicity it is a part of, or even saying if it’s it’s own continuity, and them portraying all the factions poorly

Anyways take this

[valid needle]

Oh yeah

Apparently Caesar lives

Somehow

Despite him having brain cancer and dying in nv

[tough haven]

Yeah

[rocky gale]

You can cure him in NV

[tough haven]

There’s only one ending where that happens to my knowledge

[valid needle]

Of course

But that is if you side with the legion

[tough haven]

But they don’t wanna commit to any canonicity for fear of alienating people

[valid needle]

And if you do then you kill mr house

[tough haven]

So they gave a flimsy “it’s all canon”

[valid needle]

But mr house is also alive somehow

[languid meadow]

I want to say something but idk if I'm the only one who's seen the new episode

And I don't want to be screaming in a spoiler text box

For no reason

[valid needle]

I’ll see it in about 4 hours

[opaque coyote]

Gotta just post this one last time

[tough haven]

Is it possible to resist mindshackle scarabs? Trying to decide if I should give my players a check or if they should just be thralls until saved

[celest dome]

Depend on what the narrative need

[vagrant fox]

Don't some people resist the scarabs in Knights of Macragge

Not well but sorta

[opaque coyote]

"How did you escape my technologically advanced mind controlling scarabs?"

"THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE YOU FILTHY XENO!"

"Gah, I knew I shouldn't have upgraded them to windows 11..."

[tough haven]

Vibecoded scarabs

[dapper gyro]

||That's the 2nd Caesar||?

the ||displacer glove looks so good in live action||

[winged jacinth]

Even if you cure caesar and help him win the dam iirc he dies like 4 years later in the credits and the legion collapses anyway

[lament shoal]

Need DreadAnon to voice this

[opaque coyote]

Honestly out of all of the things the fallout show has changed

This is the most expected and natural one

[jade holly]

I’m reading the Infinite and the Divine right now, Trazyn just dropped one of the funniest lines imo

||”You can’t steal from the dead, that’s called archaeology.”||

[tough haven]

Collegio Extremis, get these mfers

[tough haven]

Just wait, it gets better

His character is gold
