That and on some servers elsewhere we somehow concluded Steven scales roughly to Primarch levels

#

What rocks even are they

celest dome
#

Really KEKW_ogryn

#

Not even shocked tbh

raven stone
#

I think

#

Never was into SU even when it was a big thing

#

Nothing against it though, just never caught on with me

sacred ginkgo
celest dome
#

Is that some Adventure time spin-off ?

#

Or am I thinking of another show

raven stone
#

Different show

#

And yea Adventure Time is the other thing that was big but also never quite caught on with me

#

But I do confess to having peripheral/osmosis absorbed some of their lore on a very surface level

celest dome
#

I think I was a tad young to really catch on with AT, have caught some episode while at higher studies and I liked it quite a lot more

misty vector
#

i was really into both as a kid

#

adventure time lore is pretty cool

sour hornet
sacred ginkgo
#

No like in specific

sour hornet
#

though they sometimes pertain

#

Oh

sacred ginkgo
#

Those 3 people

#

With the laser

sour hornet
#

White Diamond, Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond

sacred ginkgo
#

Fantastic

sour hornet
#

they're firing the laser because they think those people killed Pink Diamond

celest dome
#

Are they all named after gems, or is there Grey Shale somewhere in the lore

sour hornet
#

its funny because pink diamond is in that scene

misty vector
#

the 4 diamonds are the tyrants

sour hornet

being fired at

Can't see anything other than bets and guesses

I knew he was planning to make a wh40k movie didnt know he'd just adapated the game

glass drum
#

Would make more sense if he did his own honestly

#

We already know what happens in SM1/Sm2

what'd your average techpriest said on sight of someone cannibalizing two FUBAR PCs into one working?

They would see it as a necessity

Oh

Secret level was like 2 months after idk but it came in quick to profit off the initial release hype.

It is a pretty sick episode

Got dammit, my colourblindess strikes again!

quasi temple
#

Well our sun looks really yellow. But in reality it's blackboard spectrum peaks at green wavelengths

#

But our sky is blue. And blue + green = yellow

rocky gale
#

Colour is fake anyway

I could go on about th fourth power of omega that makes our sky blue...

Also about polarization of sunlight

Either way what is Batman possibly surviving that Superman isn't

Batman has the best defenses of all time

Money and plot

I mean I guess Batman being a huge nepo baby industry overlord means he can buy thirty overlaying void shields and have a blank cohort around him at all times

Anything that isn’t super heavy

hollow lantern

That seems uh

#

Really good

arctic talon
#

And has that keyword can be deepstriked with a new detach

#

It seems very good

hollow lantern
#

Idk if interested is the right word

arctic talon
#

lol

#

Terrified?

hollow lantern
#

It feels like a trainwreck a little?

arctic talon
#

Prolly

hollow lantern
#

Like i simply can't look away?

jade holly
#

Potentially reckless?

hollow lantern
arctic talon
#

It’ll be funny

#

The big scary thing to drop is prolly a vindicator

#

lol

hollow lantern
#

I think I'm sticking to KT for now lmfao

jade holly
#

Deep strike the whole army in front of Khornate Berserkers

hollow lantern
#

Titus doesn't care he'll kill them all anyway

arctic talon
#

I’ve played into it and it’s not

#

Too bad

#

Tbh

#

Titus is like

#

jade holly
#

Titus when gun

hollow lantern
#

Gun when deepstrike 7.1 inches away

arctic talon
#

I played some games last week

#

Against new Titus

hollow lantern
#

And?

arctic talon
#

He’s pretty bad

#

He’s good situationally

#

But he’s awful into admech

jade holly
#

Or Gunline Tau

arctic talon
#

He gets screened super easily by admech

jade holly
#

Or castles

#

Or anyone who can focus him down from range

arctic talon
#

He’s prolly a nightmare for armies like guard

#

Wardens of ultramar are fucking stupid

#

At 90 points

#

You just run them without Titus

#

And you get 20 wounds

raven stone
#

Also remember they are over priced

arctic talon
#

They’re underpriced

jade holly
#

Can anyone else lead them or are they their own locked individual unit

raven stone
#

In terms of USD

arctic talon
#

Well yeah

#

lol

#

Titus is obnoxious

hollow lantern
#

The level of wank UM are getting makes me want to quit while I'm ahead again I'm ngl

arctic talon
#

But he’s not good

#

Wardens are a pain in the ass

arctic talon
#

For how cheap they are points wise

hollow lantern
#

Idk man, I've been out of playing 40k for uhhh

#

3 or so years atp

raven stone
#

They might get the counter wank

I mean us Necron’s are winning apparently as I join

So I’m chilling

GW accidentally leaked they’re getting their own unit

How's Zerik enjoying the RC units?

jade holly

#

Very much

jade holly
arctic talon
#

He likes em

hollow lantern
#

I think RC getting anything at all before a lot of warbands is funny

arctic talon

He thinks Huron’s face isn’t gross enough

#

Was not on my bingo board ever

arctic talon
#

Oh also

#

New Corsair stuff

#

Is coming out

#

As in eldar corsairs

jade holly
#

But seriously though, 3 new detachments, Ammentar and new Nightbringer is a nice little bundle of goodies

#

and hopefully we get a little more before 10e ends, unless that’s being too greedy of me

arctic talon
#

Oh also got to play into Ammentar

#

But proxied

hollow lantern
#

I don't like nucrons either tbh

raven stone
#

GW might be pushing hard on Red Corsairs as new 40k Chaos Marines poster boys

To isolate the 30k/40k lines even more

arctic talon
#

He’s underpriced as fuck lol

arctic talon
#

But maybe I’m wrong

#

lol

#

Maybe GW tries to move away from black legion

#

again

jade holly
#

Is insane

arctic talon
#

Points wise

#

He’s stupid

#

Like

raven stone
# arctic talon lol

TBF even I want to be proven wrong.

Isolating 30k and 40k lines from each other makes business sense but is outright mean

#

And stupid

arctic talon
#

He could go up 30-50

#

Poinrs

#

Tbh

jade holly
#

Not to mention the free sustained hits on all destroyers near him

arctic talon
#

I mean

jade holly
#

plop him on center obj near some Hexmarks

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

That’s why he’s underpriced lol

#

He’s priced fine for his body and stats

#

His aura is what’s strong

jade holly
#

Does sustained hits work on Hexmark’s unique Overwatch ability?

wary fulcrum

#

The new campaign additions are balanced against each other.

But not the existing game overall

As funny as it is to imagine them having a sweatshop where they make 12 year olds paid below minimum wage make toys

sacred bluff
jade holly
#

Or yeah use Warcom

rose thorn
#

thats wierd, the aos app shows the rules for units in ROR and post battletome releases for free

jade holly
#

Like Shatterstar Arsenal

#

But no not Ammentar lmao

arctic talon
#

For 40k

#

I’d report it

#

lol

#

There is also

arctic talon
#

Yknow

#

The alternative

#

Wahapedia

#

lol

young pecan
#

They may be nazi germany levels of control over what their publishers are allowed to release but at least they're ethical

arctic talon
#

GW having profit share for all employees based off of total corporate earning is still insane to me

#

lol

jade holly
#

As in each employee gets a % of the profits earned as pay?

arctic talon
#

Employees get a % of the profit yes lol

#

Like a co-op

#

It’s monthly

jade holly
#

That’s insane

arctic talon
#

You even get it as a retail employee

#

Now granted

#

GW is banking on their employees buying warhammer stuff as well

#

Which is kind of exploitative lol

#

They offer njce discounts to employees for a reason

languid meadow
#

company town with extra steps

jade holly
#

I mean at least you’ll have a discount…?

arctic talon
#

The issue is pretty much every GW employee likes warhammer lol

#

I’m sure they only look for employees who like miniatures or like Warhammer or both

#

For retail jobs

#

Sure they’re paying you above minimum wage + profit share

#

But they’re also pretty sure you’re gona buy a box of plastic

jade holly
#

Above average pay, % profit pay and discounts is enough for me ngl

languid meadow
#

send my ass to the mines

#

I will die for GW in the corporate wars if it meant I got payed well

arctic talon
#

Of all the retail jobs to work for

#

GW deadass is one of the good ones

#

They almost always pay above minimum wage + you get profit share on your paycheck

#

Downside

#

You have to interact with warhammer players. Which is fine most of the time

#

But you’ll also run into

#

those sorts

raven stone
arctic talon
#

I hope they don’t increase everything this year

#

Bcs they didn’t last year

rocky gale
#

Did they not increase everything like 2 or 3 months ago?

arctic talon
#

No

#

The price increase for 2025 was spring

tough haven
#

I have a Kommando ork in a guard tower getting shot at by a silenced rifle and missing, if he notices the shot, do you think it’s plausible he just assumes it’s another or shooting at him (or just shooting for the heck of it) or would he recognize a failed ambush

arctic talon
#

And it wasn’t a universal one oddly enough

tough haven
#

I don’t want the orks I’m writing to be too stupid

arctic talon
#

Imo

#

Have the Ork think it’s another Ork but they were trying to kill them

tough haven
#

But also I don’t want them to be incredibly well coordinated

rocky gale
#

They did

arctic talon

Huh

I forgot about that one

Draykavac is so fucking funny lol

#

Such a horrid person

#

Even the dark Mechanicum didn’t want him

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

He exclusively used servitors and tech thralls

#

Also he would forcibly lobotomize anyone who disobeyed his orders or was too slow for his tastes, ect.

#

He looked for any excuse to servitorize people lol

queen laurel
#

Like what the hell is is the point of doing that

#

Creating a super servitor or something

arctic talon
#

Maybe

arctic talon
#

He got so good at this he made mobile servitorization + food factories lol

Why does he have a horse head

But yes the mechanicus servitorized a bunch of cadian civilians

#

And turned the kids into slaves

Lol

arctic talon

But draykavac was funny and would invade worlds

rose thorn
#

ahh

arctic talon
#

Is the issue

rose thorn
#

oh so its vat born babies or fully grown adults?

arctic talon
#

It wasn’t out of any moral reason

arctic talon
#

But it’s cheaper to just use existing humans

rose thorn
#

oh what baout cherubs?

arctic talon
#

Cherubs are cherubs

#

So yeah

#

I thought you were talking about normal servitors

#

lol

#

But cherubs are useless

#

They’re very pretty but not “practical”

celest dome
#

Having Kid servitor is just a mess cause the body still try to grow after the Servitorisation

arctic talon
#

They also executed all the old people

#

Bcs too old for servitors

celest dome
#

Better to enslave them, and then servitorise them after adulthood

arctic talon
#

Not worth it

rose thorn
#

oh so servators have to be older than like, 25?

i heard they also arent babies KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon

They are

#

They’re just vat grown usually

#

Unlike normal servitors

unique bronze
#

really? i thought they were just fucked up mutants that just came out wrong

arctic talon

Which are mostly people the imperium marks as criminals

#

Some servitors would be actual death row inmates irl

Others are uh

#

I like how it’s mentioned sometimes that servators sentience is dependent on how complex their purpose is

#

I’ve read it like twice

arctic talon
#

They’re not meant to be sentient

#

But they’re more cognizant

#

Which is

#

Arguably more horrifying

rose thorn

Yeah that’s what I meant lol

I hope with season 2 of the show we get a nv part 2

#

As much as I’d like powder ganger we have like 10 raider factions

arctic talon
#

Ngl

#

The powder gangers are like

#

A left over from van buren

#

Where they’d actually be relevant aside from being

#

Raider fodder with some backstory

rocky gale
#

Legion are basically a leftover from Van Buren tbh

#

The version we get in New Vegas is like 10% of what was planned

arctic talon
#

Legion also got changed a lot as well tbh

#

More then the powder gangers

#

They just never got finished

#

So they’re just, there lol

rocky gale
#

They were supposed to be so much more

storm jungle
#

Im glad they arent

#

legion fans are obnoxious as fuck now, imagine if we got their "full" package

They were just gona have more quests

im talking about the legion bruh

No like

#

That was a core bit of the legion in van buren smh

#

Also van buren was prolly gona be ass

#

lol

#

From what’s known

#

I think it would have been bad

#

But what do I know

rocky gale
#

Like Caesar was supposed to basically supposed to acknowledge that the Legion was awful, but that it had to exist as a transitory state, so that someone better would come along and use the framework of the Legion to make an actually good society.

#

Waiting for someone to pull a Caesar on him

storm jungle
#

yeah uh that is A LOT of cope on his part

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Lmao

crazy that u have ppl unironically siding with the legion

They’re either actually stupid, authoritarian/facist, or sexist

Is the fourth option of ‘I can’t possibly be worse than these two Jack asses, or Mr House’ not objectively the moral one?

arctic talon

Mr. House is pretty bad as well

#

He’s another flavor of authoritarianism

#

But he’s at least not like

#

The legion

#

💀

spring cairn
#

better than the legion but still worse than the NCR

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

But hey, you won’t pay taxes

I guess

#

and historically Caesar made a coin with his face and the face of Augustus on the other side, so Caesar in NV doing that with the Courier implies you're his heir

wary fulcrum
#

My beef with NV (aside from how it wasn’t a great story without the DLC’s) is that the courier has so much power

They decide the fate of, effectively, a nation

#

And they’re literally a folk who 6 weeks early got domed

storm jungle

I mean

#

thats literally every single RPG though

storm jungle
#

No. Die.

wary fulcrum

I’d disagree with Skyrim and oblivion

The only main story decision in those two is whether you kill the genocidal war criminal who feels bad or not

Honestly yeah I agree. We shouldn't tolerate things like homophobia and Misogyny. I get really uncomfortable when people use their religion as justification...

Then again they were raised that way so its not entirely their fault. I just get uncomfortable when they say "I am fine with gay but my religion does not approve." I mean I get it. I just have experience with such individuals arguing "gay isn't natural cuz god"

Well Missus makes a point that its actually really easy to integrate people, its just something thats become taboo so now everyone has to put up with it until some right wing party comes along and is the ONLY one to take a stand.

# hallow saddle seems fucking demented but what do i know

Genuinely, they got votes because they are the only party to actually take a stand against migration, which is one of the top voter issues. As for why LGBT would vote, its because these previously mentioned Migrants are not at all close to the level of acceptance that German society is, even imperfect as it is. Its not ideal. Even a right-wing German I know doesnt like the AfD because they're a party of "Complainers" that dont have plans so much as they yell "We will change current thing". Also he's not a nazi ofc, just leans right economically
