Why are plasma pistols so common when the fucking things explode like hand grenades

dapper gyro
#

The overheat explosion rate is exaggerated by the community. From "it could explode" to "it explodes" to "it always explodes".

#

Melta range is already short while requiring a lot of power, which makes the melta handgun even less efficient.

lament shoal
#

And even then its not that common

#

Plasma weaponry, from guns to pistols, have the same range and power

#

So a plasma pistol is as deadly as a plasma gun. Coupled with the reduced size, that makes it a versatile weapon

dapper gyro
#

You shoot less and overheat a plasma pistol fast. Nevertheless, such power in such a small package is a good compromise.

dapper gyro
storm jungle
#

They arent no, they are a niche weapon that would need to get specifically manufactured.

#

you're ironically more bound to find a normal meltagun than a pistol variant

sour hornet
#

cool

# sour hornet an inquisitor could commission one

An Inquisitor could commission any weapon

If you’re thinking lorewise then there’s some debated about how they’d get it, a well thought of inquisitor with lots of connections and friends will have an easier time than an absolute mentalist who sets fire to literally everyone they meet

but so long as you can justify it narratively to yourself, you’re golden. Even better with that way, it can deepen your narrative

A friendly Admech who repaid a debt may turn into a narrative point later on (or even link one armies lore to another)

Fair enough. I guess they're still too stupid to find out how to make an actually decent plasma weapon that doesn't explode violently.

He is lucky that the bullet actually flow off, allowing most of the blast directed forward. Considering the ammunition he used, a SLAP, it could get stuck in the barrel and blow the receiver into more fragments.

Wasn't there some Plasma Bolts ?
Couldn't one use a Bolt Sniper Rifle with those and have a pseudo-Plasma Sniper

near wasp

Yeah but he still got a bolt and cap that flew back into his face and body.

It was bad but it could of been so much worse

Bolts are always the same calibre, don't know if there aren't Sniper Bolter for human

You could also just have an Exitus Rifle

As they can have Melta rounds

You will live longer than most human.

jade holly

you don’t live in 40K, you suffer the illusion of surviving

Honestly though? If you want to live as long as you can I honestly think getting brain scarab’d and working for Trazyn gives you that chance lmao

I'd argue the semantic of living

Iys probably the best just because it's a decent place to live

It would basically massively increase the amount of UV light we'd be exposed to, the Ozone absorbs around 98% of all the UV-B radiation from the sun, which the eye doesn't really have a natural defence from.

I am quite fond of lotr elves but mostly I find them done a bit boring in a lot of settings

So our eyes would effectively sunburn much worse than our skin would because our eyes can't tan as a defence mechanism.

Yea Elite they always complain

vagrant fox

Online folks usually complain either way don't they

rocky gale

They complain if they don't get new models for 1 week, they complain about the new models when they get them every 2 weeks

They cant release a campaign about marines and not put out a box about marines

rocky gale
#

They complain when another faction gets anything because they have a laundry list of things that Space Marines "Need"

so good for me

lol

doesn't happen in the 40k discord TopKekSphere

this is outrageous

Space Marines are the only reason GW can afford to waste time and money on other factions

valid needle
#

They make a box for some random side faction who are featuring in a space marine campaign but don’t make a box for the space marines

In other words, Marines are supporting the xenos.

#

They must be purged.

near wasp

Millions must burn

valid needle
#

I can’t believe this bullshit

#

They are clearly planning a battle force to go on preorder closer to the release date. They wouldn’t make a second class side xeno faction a box and not give the main characters anything.

500 worlds is about liberating the 500 worlds

500 worlds is space marine vs necrons

with other imperial shit

But those are also 500 worlds?

we literally have that shit leaked in chinese

Lkay so they are doing a bunch of faction vs faction one off things

Oh

only James knows

who the fuck is getting paired with who

And they revealed the nid, tau guys, and the Votaan character for

#

Some reason

arctic talon
#

well

#

those ones were unrelated

#

like

#

completely unrelated

rose thorn
#

lmao

arctic talon
#

that was just

#

mid edition

rocky gale
#

Space Marines vs Necrons, Red Corsairs vs Eldar Corsairs and then Sororitas vs Genestealers obviously

arctic talon
#

HEY YOU GUYS WANT STUFF

#

GO STUFF

valid needle
arctic talon
#

they're not out yet

#

I think actually lol

#

yeah lmao

rocky gale
#

and then the final one will be Drukhari vs Drukhari featuring all new models

rose thorn
#

If that stuff is apart of the end of edition vs sets, I assume LoV would be vs orks, tau vs nids or gsc

valid needle
#

They can’t release a chaos space marine campaign and not make a space marine battle force to go with it.

arctic talon
#

It might be end of edition stuff

#

actually

#

you might be right

#

what a weird fucking schedule lol

And there is now at least 2 active GSCs with void ships

celest dome

#

Much less so

#

As GSC are prrrty much Imperial posts site offshoots

rose thorn
#

And alot of planets once controlled by the imperium now jn the tau empire often get gsc uprisings during or after it is claimed

celest dome
#

Am not sober atm

rose thorn
#

Ah

#

It gsc gets a named character

celest dome
#

But having a Tau GSC themed unit would clash against the current whole Imperial FSC theme that was chosen and maintained for what, 10ish years

rose thorn
#

Ohhh, no gsc would never get a xeno unit lmao

lament shoal
#

Would be cool if they did tho

rocky gale
#

Yea no one was saying it would be Tau infected GSC, just the two fighting

celest dome
#

While I quite like the Gsc as a theme, I feel like they'd been better treated as part of a Necromunda system than as the main system

#

Kinda like I'd see the Digganobs as a not bad analogue for the Orks in Necromunda if Orks aren't possible to reintroduce

#

Ot rule wise.

#

But story wise

rose thorn
#

they got more content in necromnda this year than in 40k

#

if it wasnt for the new foot hero, gsc would have lost content

Godrick should've just grafted wings and replaced his feet with blades

#

Then he would've beaten Malenia

plush mason
#

bro is too much of a coward to face someone like her

opaque coyote
#

Tbf he did try

#

He failed

#

Literally begged at her feet and had it immortalized in a statue

#

But still he did try

plush mason
#

i thought that was Redan

arctic talon
#

lol

#

He’s kind of just a smash character

#

And has 0 utility

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

no i meant Godrick tried to challange Redan

paper haven
#

opaque coyote
#

Nah that was Malenia I believe

plush mason
#

never saw the statue and didnt get far in elden ring so you are most likely right

paper haven
#

If you can't stand and trade blows with Redan, try again

plush mason
#

the fact there are people that actually say shit like that in the elden ring community is funny as shit to me

paper haven
#

We are so deep in the irony that I don't actually know if I'm being serious anymore

opaque coyote
#

And then immediately laughing as he ran the fuck away

paper haven
#

Very on brand

opaque coyote
#

Yeah that's special behavior for Patches in particular if you summon him

#

Which makes me wonder why in lore he decided to do so

#

Like it's obviously just there to fuck with players

#

But I wonder what went through Patches head in the first place to even place his summoning sign

arctic talon
#

lol

#

Turns out he is not that guy

plush mason
#

iirc the volcano manor put him up to it

urban spire
#

he wanted to be a hero

opaque coyote

yup

#

or maybe not seeing how much he worships the volcano manor and sees them as his first real family

paper haven

opaque coyote
#

So

#

Apparently the reason why most enemies attack you are due to two reasons

#
  1. Because fromsoft, immortality fucking sucks. Death basically isn't a thing in the Lands Inbetween, but during the Age of Plenty, apparently they got to reincarnate using the erdtree.
#

When the shattering happened. That ritual was gone.

#

So everybody's mind has basically turned into mush while their bodies still move

#
  1. You are tarnished. And because fromsoft. Everybody fucking hates you.

You lack grace. It's seen in the eyes of the few non-tarnished human NPCs

#

They have gold in their eyes

#

And although you are led by the grace. You still lack it.

#

There is a problem however.

#

It's inconsistent on how insane people are.

#

Like there exists people who act completely normal. Like they didn't suffer through thousands of years of immortality

#

And also none of the enemies speak

#

Tbf I don't want every enemy to speak.

#

But I think having some elite ones speak actual understandable words would've been interesting

#

Apparently the reason why it's like this is mainly due to Miyazaki saying himself that they suck at making things like classic towns with NPCs and shit.

#

Honestly I kinda wish they would try it once one day

opaque coyote
hollow lantern
#

I unironically like dark souls npcs and their dialogue

#

I don't really care to chit chat with the ai about their thoughts and feelings

#

I like these insane people and their pseudo ramblings

opaque coyote
#

I just wish that for Elden Ring in particular, there was a way to keep track of their questlines

#

Not even a marker or anything. Just like "X wants me to do Y"

fervent geode
#

But ds npcs good too

hollow lantern
#

Idk

#

Maybe it's the ttrpg player in me

#

But if I care about a games info or want to keep track I notate it for myself

opaque coyote
#

Also some steps are so obscure that you basically need a guide

#

Or they're found somewhere else

#

This goes for Dark Souls asw

#

"Oh yeah, of course, I should have looked into poisonous swamp #291029 to find him instead of #291028!"

#

"And now he's dead early!'

#

Tbf if there is one thing I do like about the NPCs. It's that they actually do feel human.

#

With of course a bit of absolute insanity because every souls game takes place in an apocalyptic shithole

#

Like they're all trying to cope with the fact that the world around them is going to shit in their own ways

#

Although I kinda wish they had more mixed fates than just "Dying horribly". Though tbf Elden Ring actually rectifies this somewhat.

#

NPC fates are mixed

#

Although it's still usually some flavor of horrible

Y’know

The more I actually look at the lore blurb we have for Nekrosor Ammentar

Bro this is some 40k level of war crimes jesus christ

#

Directly from the post:

Basically just a 6x6 foundation placed in the water with as many gunner cages as I could squeeze in (I think 92 in total). Scale that 5 levels high. All of it wired to a switch connected to a Vault-tec reactor.

The basic strategy is to feed the cages, come back in like.. idk.. a week of ingame time. Whenever I think about it when I'm off doing other things I'll pop on over and check my cages.

If they are all full I do the following:

  1. Take an hour long nap in teh conveniently placed sleeping bag

  2. hit the switch

  3. While theya re all funneling into the water, I take that time to build shelving units in a wall i placed on top to proc Idiot Savant

  4. pop some berry mentats

  5. Fire a two-shot mini nuke crit, trying to target someone close-ish to the center.

  6. Clean the rest up with either a second nuke (probably a waste) or spray them with your handy dandy assault rifle.

This is some 40k tier stuff right here jesus christ
