40k-lore-chat

[arctic talon]

to just bite the bullet and commit

[dark moon]

My core memory of New Vegas was listening to Johnny Guitar for the 5 billionth time.

[arctic talon]

lol

Like holy shit lol

they just kept on backing out constantly

of ideas

so they're left half baked

[surreal nest]

Diamond city sucks in fo4 i expected more. Its not thematic or wacky enough like a fallout city should be

[arctic talon]

or not fleshed out enough

Diamond city is like

nice imo

lol

I like it

[celest cedar]

its not even a bad song, its just a bug ruining it for people lel

[rose thorn]

they had decided minutemen, BoS, railroad, insittue, and gunners were all gonna be the mian factins

Scrapped gunners, then kept pushig railraod back for some reason to focus on BoS and institute

[surreal nest]

Its just forgettable for me

[arctic talon]

And then they didn't even flesh out the institute properly

like ????

what did bethesda mean by this

[dark moon]

I just wanted to listen to Big Iron, but no, here’s Johnny Guitar yet again.

[surreal nest]

But that weird like parking garage city in F03 stuck with me

[arctic talon]

also making it so that the Minutemen never scale properly

gameplay wise

like wtf lol

Like the Brotherhood and Institute both properly scale

with difficulty

[rose thorn]

its os fucking weird

[arctic talon]

same with the Railroad

the minutemen never get armor, not even armor that fits their aesthetic

[crystal forum]

fallout 4 is riddled with signs of changing management decisions

[arctic talon]

and are always stuck with pipe weapons

laser musket should have been infinite ammo like they planned

like

that just fucking works

[surreal nest]

Idk why I said parking garage I meant Rivet City

[crystal forum]

i wouldn't be surprised if the story is so dog shit because the entire institute is some last minute idea

[surreal nest]

I loved rivet city

[arctic talon]

Rivet city is awsome

[rose thorn]

tbf laser musket is also arleady busted as shit

[arctic talon]

Institue was from the start

the issue is

[rose thorn]

nope

[arctic talon]

they put off developing them proprerly

and scrapped like 3 dif ideas

story wise

[rose thorn]

railroad and insitute were tow of the first factions they decided on

[crystal forum]

well they managed to fuck that up still so props to them

[arctic talon]

the institue is critically underdeveloped

in all the places that actually matter ingame

[surreal nest]

I love my wacky gimmick fallout cities

[arctic talon]

the Tabletop wargame does a better job fleshing them out

which is fucking nuts lol

[crystal forum]

genuinely we will never get a fallout game where the dev studio has its shit together

[rose thorn]

the most cursed developmetn of allt ime

[arctic talon]

every fallout game

[surreal nest]

Diamond city rivet city novac

[arctic talon]

has had a fucked development

aside from 1

[crystal forum]

like 3 is the only fallout game without some awful dev cycle

[arctic talon]

nah 1 as well

1 and 3

lol

[surreal nest]

Was the nuka cola dlc good in fo4?

[arctic talon]

2 is fucked

[surreal nest]

It looked fun

[arctic talon]

lol no

[rose thorn]

its fine

[arctic talon]

unless you love slavery and raiders

then its like

decent

[rose thorn]

they scrapped the raider ending they wnated to do

for some reason

[surreal nest]

How about far harbor?

[arctic talon]

a majority of the content is slavery and radier stuff

far harbor is excellent

[rose thorn]

best fallout dlc ever

[arctic talon]

except for the minecraft bits

like

Far harbor is deadass

top 3 fallout DLCs ever made

lol

The only thing

that brings it down

is fucking DIMA MINECRAFT

[rose thorn]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FAR HARBOR WAVE TO FULLY RELEASE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[arctic talon]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I installed a mod

[rose thorn]

funfact htey had like 3 more of those but scrapped it

[arctic talon]

to remove all of the DIMA minecraft stuff

[arctic talon]

thank god lol

they're so bad

[sacred ginkgo]

What minecraft stuff

[arctic talon]

the DLC is objectively better without themb

both pacing wise

and gameplay wise

[arctic talon]

DIMA's memory minigame

[surreal nest]

Do you have to get through fo4 for far harbor?

[sacred ginkgo]

Oh that shit

Ouuuuggghhhhh

[surreal nest]

I wanna play far harbor but I am not playing thru fallout 4 again

[sacred ginkgo]

That was so ass

[arctic talon]

no

[sacred ginkgo]

I did most of it on a call

[rose thorn]

no, to naturally get to it you just need to get to our favcoirte bisexual detective

[arctic talon]

you can start it whenever you want

[arctic talon]

really

I recomend level 20

[rose thorn]

yeah

[arctic talon]

LOL

Wiping out bunker hill is always fun

in a non legion playthrough

[rose thorn]

oh yeah onsimilar topics ceasers legion is underbaked but thats for time reasons lmao

[surreal nest]

Maybe I gotta replay fo4 anyways I havent played it since I was in high school when it came out

[arctic talon]

Caesers legion is underbaked because they ran out of time lol

but they were just gona be

eviler

lol

so not much changed

[rose thorn]

i believe they decidedthat ceasers legion was gonna suffer because like whow ants to do an evil playthrough lmao

[arctic talon]

they decided the first thing to cut was more of their stuff

yeah

[dark moon]

Boone is such a chad.

[lament shoal]

When Courier 6 was asked about how it felt to take a human life, his response was, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed legionaries."

[crystal forum]

the show didn't have the balls to include boone

[dark moon]

Though I’m more of a Cass fan.

[crystal forum]

so many great characters just ignored

[arctic talon]

"I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed Khans"

[rose thorn]

LMAOOOO

[arctic talon]

jokes asaide the Khans deserved

[rose thorn]

AHAHHAHAHA

[arctic talon]

everything awful that happened to them

aside from the kids dying

[rose thorn]

i love the khans i defend them

[arctic talon]

Like

Bitter springs was bad

but I'm not sure what they were expecting

killing and looting innocent people

woe is me when it happens to my innocent people

I usually reform them and shove them with the Followers

so they stop being a bunch of raider assholes

[rose thorn]

me too

[arctic talon]

and develop

[rose thorn]

thats their best ending

[crystal forum]

i kill them all

[rose thorn]

they dont even do that much raider stuff beisdes muderig ncr

[arctic talon]

the issue is

[rose thorn]

which like

every factiopn does

[arctic talon]

nah they do

do raider stuff

its much more in fallout 1 and 2

[rose thorn]

yeah drugs too if orgor

[surreal nest]

Boone is probably dead in the show

[arctic talon]

and they do it in NV

as well

[surreal nest]

Isnt the show like 25 years after new vegas

[arctic talon]

they raid settlements and kill and loot people

[arctic talon]

15 years

[rose thorn]

good /j

[surreal nest]

Yeah Boone is dead

[arctic talon]

the khans kind of deserve the awful things that happen to them

tbh

like

[sacred ginkgo]

Novac is toasted he's definitely dead

[arctic talon]

Novac got taken over by the Khans

[dark moon]

Where’s my Vaquero gunslinger Raul? Smh.

[arctic talon]

💀

[surreal nest]

What happened to Novac?

Oh

[arctic talon]

Khans took it over

well

[rose thorn]

the ones as of fallout nv id say no but thats a me thing

[arctic talon]

like 20 dudes

[dark moon]

What a cool guy Raul was.

[arctic talon]

in leather

called themselves the khans

and took it over

[surreal nest]

Is the show actually good btw? S2?

[arctic talon]

Its like

decent

[surreal nest]

I know s1 is actually good

[rose thorn]

i need ot wathc it

[arctic talon]

the recent episode was really good

[rose thorn]

imma smoke bomb

[arctic talon]

the previous 4 were fine

[sacred ginkgo]

Khans just ate it and turned the dinosaur around for whatever reason

[arctic talon]

episode 5 is really good

[surreal nest]

All I hear is about new vegas fans screaming and crying about tiny little details

[arctic talon]

but yeah the Khans are kind of like rats

you can kill them

but they always come back

some random vault bumfuck wipes them out in 1

they're back in 2

[surreal nest]

https://tenor.com/view/springtrap-fnaf-cosplay-frolic-sunset-gif-5136057121191098367

[arctic talon]

their tribal bumfuck of a child wipes them out in 2

they're back in NV

[sacred ginkgo]

Anyone with a few guys with guns can find some shitty jackets and bike helmets and call themselves the khans

[arctic talon]

Courier wipes them out orreforms them

[rose thorn]

if htey ever mention institue in fallout show iw ill scream

[arctic talon]

they fucking come back again

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH BEFOR EI DISAPPEAR

[arctic talon]

Like

genuinely the khans coming back

is so fucking funny

[rose thorn]

FALLOUT FACTIONS 2ND EDITION RELEASES IWTH AN INSTITUTE VS BOS BOX

SO HYPE

[jade holly]

POV: you’re a xenos running from Dante

[arctic talon]

Leathers, stupid hats, guns, and drugs

thats the khans

[surreal nest]

Brotherhood of Steel are so cool but not bc they are based but because they are dumb fucking morons

Has to be the most absent minded faction out there

[arctic talon]

I don't like the brotherhood of steel that much

lol

[jade holly]

Are the Enclave a faction you can join in any games past 1 and 2?

[arctic talon]

except in FALLOUT BRoTHERHOOD OF STEEL BABY

[crystal forum]

the fans of fallout will always treat fallout better than bethesda does

[arctic talon]

WITH BALLS

[lament shoal]

The Khans randomly showing up after being wiped out for the thousandth time:

[surreal nest]

No

[arctic talon]

you can't even join them in 1 or 2 lol

[rose thorn]

THE INSTITUTE MAY CANNONICALLY AHVE BEEN BOMBED BUT WE MUST CLEANSE THE WASTELANDS

[arctic talon]

they're not around in 1

[jade holly]

Wooooow

[arctic talon]

and the ones in 2 are super racist

[rose thorn]

MANKIND REDEFINED BBAYYY

[sacred ginkgo]

First encounter goons have to make a living

[arctic talon]

you're a fucking mutie

now go die

[rose thorn]

redefined*

[jade holly]

Just like a 40K faction

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/enclave-fallout-fallout2-shut-up-kill-yourself-gif-25241557

Yes

also the opening of fallout 2 being non canon

is so fucking funny

they just needed the Enclave to look badass and evil and gun people down

genuinely the Enclave are so funny

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

you like them for the same reason you'd like a 40k faction for how evil they are

or because you're a facist

lol

They genuinely have like 0 redeeming qualities

their plan is exterminating everyone not in a vault

[jade holly]

Just what I’m looking for lmao

[rose thorn]

oh yeah i think nick valentine is the unironical best companion in the game

in all of fallout

[celest cedar]

deciding Lucy's rights to first night was fucking wild, and thats expected from the Legion 💀

[arctic talon]

and then rounding up everyone else for whatever plans they have to repopulate america

[rose thorn]

but its nto fiar since he literally exitsted before the games story was written

his ass was cooking for all of development

[jade holly]

But if I actually had to join a Fallout faction… idk which one I’d join

[arctic talon]

NCR

because its the least shit to live under

[celest cedar]

I mean NCR is right there

[arctic talon]

lol

[jade holly]

BoS i’d do just for the armor then fuck off

[jade holly]

They make me pay taxes

[arctic talon]

So does everyone else

[jade holly]

Taxes truly are inevitable

[arctic talon]

the legion taxes you

[celest cedar]

I mean BoS youre brainwashed to become soldiers from birth

[arctic talon]

the BoS taxes you

actually

the institute prolly doesn't tax you

lol

same with Yes Man's ending

The Legion taxes you

and also if you're a woman

[rose thorn]

if you ahve acollege degree, join institute, if not, join railroad :3

[arctic talon]

you know

the other issues

have fun being enslaved

[jade holly]

Is House like the second least shit fate for the Mojave?

[rose thorn]

no but htey will send you to your death if youa rent smart enough

lmao

they caused the entire games events just so you kill kellog

[arctic talon]

NCR
House
Yes Man(?)
Legion

[rose thorn]

because they dont liek him

[jade holly]

Yes Man I guess depends on whether we’re absolutely shit leaders

[celest cedar]

It'll be like living under a dictator regime yes

[arctic talon]

House is a authoritarian douche

but he's not evil

well

he's evil

but he's not evil in the Legion way

or the Enclave way

[jade holly]

He’s money evil

[rose thorn]

sidenote to the insitute brand water

[celest cedar]

the dictator would at least want the place he has control over be safe, but you know how it goes with dictators

[sacred ginkgo]

Hes evil but he understands that a standard of living is required for people to obey you

[arctic talon]

the Legion trying to exterminate the Enclave Remenants in NV on the ending slides

is so fucking funny

because the Enclave Rememants just slaughter them

repeatedly

before fucking off

[jade holly]

Imagine if Horrigan was still alive

[rose thorn]

he is evil in a way because he forces everyone to deepend on him

[arctic talon]

probably giving them nostalgia

for the Enclave Remenants lol

Gunning down tribal muties

💀

[jade holly]

Horrigan is like the most broken dude in fallout lore right?

[arctic talon]

I mean

[rose thorn]

i am 80% sure they cloned him and he died too*

[arctic talon]

he's one of 4 characters with all 4 special stats in 10 gameplay wise

[jade holly]

In game he had 10 in every stat I know that

[arctic talon]

the other 3 are all from Lonsoome road

[jade holly]

Ulysses?

[arctic talon]

One is a NCR general in power armor

one is Ulysses

one is a Legion Legate

[rose thorn]

lmao

[jade holly]

Ulysses is really that broken in lore?

[arctic talon]

no

lol

they're at 10's for gameplay reasons

so is Horrigan

[celest cedar]

i mean its probably for gameplay reasons

[arctic talon]

he's not that smart or charismatic

[jade holly]

Idk much about Ulysses actually ngl

[arctic talon]

he's

[celest cedar]

Ulysses isnt emotionally intelligent

[arctic talon]

interesting

[rose thorn]

what game has worse balancing nv or 4

[jade holly]

Isn’t he meant to be a personification of something?

[arctic talon]

4 by a small marign

NV is bad

[heady rivet]

4

[crystal forum]

he's an intelligent super mutant in power armor

[arctic talon]

but 4 you can crack open way easier

[rose thorn]

true

[arctic talon]

Like NV has a lot of stupid stuff

[jade holly]

Specially made power armor just for him too if I remember

[arctic talon]

but 4 lets you get stupid way easier

[rose thorn]

but holy shit nv has some utter garbage too lmao

[celest cedar]

he gas himself as a personification of pre war destruction aka nukes

[arctic talon]

Yeah horrigans power armor was resized for him

lol

[heady rivet]

With no level cap

[jade holly]

Insert Tyberus remark here

[arctic talon]

it still doesn't fit his ass

[celest cedar]

the reality is; Ulysses just doesnt know how to deal with grief

[jade holly]

How strong is Lanius in lore actually?

[rose thorn]

oh yeah this was his clone i believe right?

[heady rivet]

I got my friend this Frank Horrigan mini as a gift!

[arctic talon]

implied but its unclear

[rose thorn]

i dont remmeber who cannonically he fights its either BoS or survivors

[heady rivet]

He's a Khorne player so he added some great blood effects

[surreal nest]

They gotta add frank harrigan to dead by daylight

[arctic talon]

extremely competent and violent general

[rose thorn]

i think its BoS

[arctic talon]

absolute fucking psychopath

also hates women

[heady rivet]

They'd sooner add the Shark from Jaws

[rose thorn]

he released with the fallout 3 x 4 corss over wave

[arctic talon]

Lanius is pretty terrifying lore wise

[surreal nest]

Ok but that would be fucking awesome

[arctic talon]

but he is just a man in armor

ultimately

you can gun him down or blow him up

[rose thorn]

i just realized he is standing on a deathcalw lmao

[arctic talon]

also the show is retconing the NCR not knowing how power armor works lol

[jade holly]

Is Lanius basically The Legion’s Marneus Calgar

[arctic talon]

which is good

[rose thorn]

a fallout 3 detahcalw no less

[arctic talon]

because it was always stupid

[rose thorn]

no wiat

4

[arctic talon]

that the NCR didn't know

because the fucking BoS gave them tech in fallout 2 lol

and some of them went native

ngl

I wonder if we'll ever see the fallout 1 and 2 deathclaw design again

the fluffy one

lol

[jade holly]

Deathclaws are just heavily mutated creatures from radiation right? Or were there some sort of bio weapon

[crystal forum]

is NCR in the new episode or smth

[arctic talon]

No

[celest cedar]

pre war bioweapon

[arctic talon]

but they showed NCR power armor in the trailer

[crystal forum]

what is in it

[jade holly]

PRE WAR???

[arctic talon]

deathclaws are prewar enclave bioweapons

as established in fallout 2

[celest cedar]

yea made by the US to be unleashed against the Chinese

[surreal nest]

Who wins 15 deathclaws or frank

[crystal forum]

it's also shown in 3

[arctic talon]

Frank

deadass

he's smart enough in combat

[rose thorn]

oh was it proper or salvaged?

[crystal forum]

there's remote controlled deathclaws in 3 or smth

[arctic talon]

Proper

[rose thorn]

wow

they unlocked the tech

[jade holly]

Could Frank realistically stand a chance in 40K?

[celest cedar]

the opening scene in the show, showing the Deathclaw for the first time is really hype

[surreal nest]

Wtf are they a mix of??? A chupacabra and a lizard?

[crystal forum]

frank gets demolished by the chosen one so L

[arctic talon]

its been modified

[crystal forum]

just some fucking tribal

[rose thorn]

OHH IS THAT WHY THERE IS 400 NCR POWERARMOR MODS NOW LMAO

[jade holly]

That one guy at the office Kevin and his witch cauldron cocktail of numerous monster drinks

[crystal forum]

i HATE how it looks holy shit

[rose thorn]

IT LOOKS liek an ai filter

[crystal forum]

they just took the vet armor and made it power

[celest cedar]

AI

[celest cedar]

tbh idk lmao

[arctic talon]

also the prop got leaked as well

before season 2 came out

[rose thorn]

they threw it through a filter so they dont get it taken down lmao

[crystal forum]

oh wait that's literally AI

[arctic talon]

here's the leaked prop

[crystal forum]

why did you post it

[surreal nest]

DAMN

[arctic talon]

It was the first result 💀

[rose thorn]

it was the leka rna through a filter lmao

[jade holly]

Smh

[arctic talon]

I didn't look carefully

lol

[rose thorn]

like he siad it redates the seaosn

[arctic talon]

its dead now

[crystal forum]

extremely stupid

[jade holly]

The mods shall known

if they ever look because I ain’t saying shit

[arctic talon]

also the scorched seirra armor in fallout NV

was also normal power armor

[rose thorn]

i dont hate it, i iamgine it follows the lroe set by lonesome road?

[surreal nest]

HOW

[arctic talon]

this one

[rose thorn]

OH EYAHHH

[rose thorn]

IF ORGOT MAO

[arctic talon]

and also the helmet

[crystal forum]

derivative, unoriginal

[arctic talon]

the NCR obviouslly knew how power armor worked

to an extent

[jade holly]

What faction do I join if I wanna become a super robot

[arctic talon]

because they literally used it

on the Long 15

[crystal forum]

they took the peak vet armor and made it power which is stupid

[surreal nest]

HOW

[rose thorn]

i forgot why did hte US make the riot armor?

[crystal forum]

you're simping for the vet armor not this horseshit

this is a copy paste

[arctic talon]

to deal with brutal riots in the LA area

lol

[surreal nest]

Um the shoulder pads and neck piece and chest piece and harness are very cool

[arctic talon]

the NCR co-opted it and started producing it

for their own usage

as ranger armor

[rose thorn]

fair, so i imaige the lore for the power armor is much the same

[arctic talon]

anyways

[jade holly]

I still think that one NCR outfit was the coolest armor in FNV

[arctic talon]

the salvaged NCR armor is stupid

[jade holly]

You know which one

[arctic talon]

in fallout NV

[crystal forum]

no power armor was made to fight china

[arctic talon]

it shouldn't have had the servos torn out

makes 0 sense lore wise

also yeah the NCR power armor is likely homemade

[rose thorn]

❌ it has alot of uses

[arctic talon]

er

homegrown

[rose thorn]

there was power armor specifcally made for riots

[arctic talon]

also yeah power armor was first designed to fight china

[celest cedar]

alright time to watch the pitt

[arctic talon]

we have 0 lore on the NCR power armor anyways

beyond the prop

so like

[rose thorn]

yeah

the uhhhh

[crystal forum]

that's mod shit

not cannon

[rose thorn]

IUTS FUCKING CANON WAHT ARE YOUT ALKING ABOUT LMAO

ITS IN 4

[crystal forum]

creator club

[arctic talon]

anyways the NCR not knowing how power armor worked was dumb lol

[crystal forum]

not cannon

[jade holly]

Imagine if this had a cowboy hat instead

Perfect post apocalyptic outfit

[arctic talon]

I am glad they changed it

lol

Power armor training was also stupid

as a mechanic

I know why it existed

[crystal forum]

no it wasnt. it served the gameplay

[surreal nest]

You served the gameplay you pawn

[crystal forum]

power armor was late game equipment

[arctic talon]

it was also late game equipment in fallout 1 and 2

lol

power armor training didn't exist in those games

power armor training having any lore around it was stupid

it was a gameplay mechanic and nothing else

[surreal nest]

To be fair it can't be easy to use

[crystal forum]

whatever it doesnt really matter. what matters is they modified it???

[surreal nest]

Isnt that a point in the show too

[crystal forum]

how do they know how to make their own power armor

[jade holly]

Fallout is meant to be a pseudo western right?

[crystal forum]

no

[surreal nest]

One of the characters looks like a dumbass using the power armor

[crystal forum]

new vegas just takes place in nevada which has western themes

[rose thorn]

are, you , what, there is multiple exmaples of power amror beign used to fight riots

[crystal forum]

1 and 2 have no western elements

[rose thorn]

and ofr civil use

[crystal forum]

3 or 4 either

[arctic talon]

only new vegas

[rose thorn]

nuka world does*

[crystal forum]

idc

go sleep

[arctic talon]

1, 2, 3 and 4 have 0 western elements as a core thing

[rose thorn]

yeah

[surreal nest]

What's a western element in your book

[crystal forum]

cowboys

revolvers

[arctic talon]

god I love T-51 power armor so much

[jade holly]

Lone wanderer, air of a wild lawless frontier

[arctic talon]

I want to see it live action

so badly

lol

[crystal forum]

good

[surreal nest]

Rudimentary understanding of western as a genre

[jade holly]

Danger around every corner

[rose thorn]

The Western is a genre of fiction typically set in the American frontier (commonly referred to as the "Old West" or the "Wild West") between the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the closing of the frontier in 1890. The genre is commonly associated with folk tales of the Western United States, particularly the Southwestern United States, as well as Northern Mexico and Western Canada.

[arctic talon]

I like T-45 more then T-60 as well

tbh

I'm not sure why

[jade holly]

Gunslinging, existential emphasis on the ideas of death

[arctic talon]

T-51 and X-01 are my 2 favorite

[jade holly]

Blood Meridian

[rose thorn]

im a t51 gamer

[arctic talon]

then like X-02 and T-45

X-02 looks dorky in Fallout 3

[crystal forum]

t51 is just the superior original

[surreal nest]

Thats just describing a time period but a western can be something outside of that theming in my opinion

[jade holly]

The first season of The Mandalorian for example

It’s a space Western

[arctic talon]

sorry advanced power armor Mk2

lol

not X-02

[rose thorn]

it typically set in that peroid but doesnt have ot, it usually needs to include folk tale elemetns

[arctic talon]

but X-01 and X-02 are the pre war precursors with new lore lol

[crystal forum]

the best westerns are made by non americans so cry about it

[arctic talon]

actually X-01 is

X-02 is post war

and called that for

reasons

[jade holly]

Well duh there’s a reason the genre is Spaghetti Western

They were all filmed in Italy

[surreal nest]

So would we say Sinners is a western movie

I would

[jade holly]

I’m not lying that’s why they’re called that

[rose thorn]

yeah

[surreal nest]

YESSSS

[jade holly]

Sinners is def a western imo

[rose thorn]

T-65 is neat

[arctic talon]

enclave power armor in fallout 3 is so fucking funny lol

[rose thorn]

i like that the non encalve goverment gets power amror

[arctic talon]

like

[crystal forum]

it's not even in the western time period

[arctic talon]

why is it weaker

[surreal nest]

I had that argument 2 days ago and im still pissed that I got told Sinners isnt a western

[arctic talon]

then fucking T-45

[jade holly]

Beer gut Billy

[arctic talon]

????

[crystal forum]

it's the fucking 30's

[arctic talon]

gameplay I guess

but like

[crystal forum]

are you people dumb

[arctic talon]

still, lame

[surreal nest]

But western doesnt have to just be a time period

[arctic talon]

make them tougher

[rose thorn]

IT DOENST NEED OT TAKE PLACE DURING WEESTENR PEROID

[jade holly]

Still has that air of lawlessness to it doesn’t it?

[surreal nest]

Kill Bill is arguably Western too

[crystal forum]

what fucking air of lawlessness

it's about black culture

[jade holly]

If we really wanna be technical Zatoichi is a Western

[rose thorn]

MEDIA CAN HAVE MULTIPLE MEANINGS

OMFG

[surreal nest]

Like Ghost of Yotei is a western too

[rose thorn]

AND MULTIPLE PURPOSES

[surreal nest]

Actually samurai movies and westerns have a lot in common

[rose thorn]

yeah

[surreal nest]

Similar vibe

[rose thorn]

they are basically teh same thign just in different countries

[jade holly]

I mean the Magnificent 7 exists for that reason lol

[arctic talon]

on all of them

its annoying

I get why but still

[rose thorn]

CRYPTID HUNTER POWER ARMOR IS CANON????

[jade holly]

[dapper gyro]

Tesla tech armours are also funny looking.

my favorite fallut faction power armor

i love love love lvoe repsoners

[dapper gyro]

T60 tesla is the only one looking decent.

[jade holly]

That’s just a transformer

[dapper gyro]

Look like the concept art of Starcraft 1 Marine armour.

[rose thorn]

i think the semi cannonicity implie sthis is either firefighter or police power armor im not too certain

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

regarding its name

[rose thorn]

the store refers to it as edison power armor

[crystal forum]

[jade holly]

Once again Edison steals from Tesla

[rose thorn]

LMAOOO

[rose thorn]

[arctic talon]

its called tesla armor in every other game

[arctic talon]

its called it in FO1, 2, NV. 3 and 4

lol

[rose thorn]

[rose thorn]

OMG I JUST REMMEBERED THE FUCKING AUTOMATON DLC PWER AMROR

[jade holly]

Light me up like an LED

[arctic talon]

lore wise electrocute people and make your energy weapons stronger(somehow)

gameplay wise make your energy armor stronger

lol

[rose thorn]

zap zap and it has something to do with stopping lasers or bulletsi odnt remmeber

[arctic talon]

in every game

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH TAHT TOO

[arctic talon]

the energy weapon thing

is very weird

the shocking people part makes sense

[dapper gyro]

Shocking

[arctic talon]

but no clue how its supposed to make your laser and plasma guns stronger lol

[dapper gyro]

Generating more power?

[arctic talon]

Yeah but how does it like

Connect

[rose thorn]

like las packs i guess?

[dapper gyro]

Metal to metal connection?

The armour is metal, the gun is metal.

[rose thorn]

the transfer of energy charges the battery? i think the mount of energy dispersed directly translate to energy weapon damage

so thats my guess

liek

the energy cells can use al forms of energy transfer?

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[heady rivet]

Fun fact is this armor set was originally going to mark you as hostile to every single faction in the entire game. But the devs figured it should actually be a GOOD victory lap reward given its a late-game out-of-the-way quest

[languid meadow]

They got deadpool making hawk tuah and 6 7 jokes in rivals

[rose thorn]

The remnant tesla armor/ Edison armor?

[languid meadow]

All it does is give a hit to I think charisma and speech instead which does not fucking matter in new vegas

so funny

yeah it has the same modifier as the normal armour

[heady rivet]

Yeah, at the end of Arcades quest

[rose thorn]

Wiat when do they go like “hey NCR / legion we’re helping you with the damn lmao”

In lore

[heady rivet]

I assumed it was a combo of radio and also showing up and shooting the other side and them figuring "Welp, wont look a gift horse in the mouth"

[languid meadow]

they just show up and kick the shit out of the legion

then leave

no words

[heady rivet]

Or NCR

[rose thorn]

Lol

[low gazelle]

Do necrons ever lose?

[languid meadow]

all the time

[rose thorn]

Define lose

[low gazelle]

well

Repelled

WOuld be a better word

[rose thorn]

All the time

They ate shit when they were bbeg

Realistically it’s probably not as much as we see

But holy shit we see them lose a lot

[low gazelle]

Yeah cause without rule of cool dont they have blades that you just cant block

Because they vibrate through dimensions

and weapons that shut down nervous systems off of a scratch

I wanna read more about them any recs?

[rose thorn]

All the necron books are good

Otherwise they made a surprise appearance in a book series

But that’s a spoiler

[rose thorn]

Biascally anything with a necron hero on the cover tldr

[languid meadow]

all 3 of them

where they're like the main characters

[rose thorn]

I think we have 4 now

[languid meadow]

I don't count ones that have them just in it or as antagonists IMO

Silent king isn't even really about him

[rose thorn]

Oh yeha silent king is bait

[languid meadow]

since it's a dawn of fire book it's mostly Gman and Cawl

[rose thorn]

YouTube and shit is exploding about the nation wide cellular outages that just came back like an hour or 3 ago

T

It’s not that they don’t have a right to be worried but like… this happened twice last year

I specially expect 30+ year olds to not say “I’m actually scared” and have nuke count down as their thumbnail

[quasi temple]

Eh? Which nation?

[rose thorn]

Us

Version mostly but some other carriers croaked for like 8 hours

[quasi temple]

T-Mobile was fine though? Maybe I just didnt notice

[rose thorn]

I think t mobile was fine

My entire states 911 service was down though, but the 911 is such utter trash

[quasi temple]

Oh boy

[rose thorn]

Yeah

yeah

[quasi temple]

Could've had The Purge today and we wouldn't know until now

[rose thorn]

Doomers are dooming, fearmongers are mongering

It’s fine lmao

I hope everyone who needed 911 during that time got help

But the service going down wouldn’t have changed much because it’s that ass here

My mom told me about how a lady got in a car crash and she called 911, dispatcher was rude as shit, then an hour and a half later an ambulance came up talked infront of the lady car like 30 minutes and told the lady she needs to walk to the ambulance and just watched her limp to it

And this was 5 minutes away from the hospital lmao

[quasi temple]

W t f

Dude, first chance you get, gtfo

Thats some actual bullshit

But also
If she was fine with all that waiting I guess she wasn't all that bad?

[rose thorn]

Yeha I’m in college in a different city now lol

[rose thorn]

I have no clue but she survived

[quasi temple]

I recall that scene from Scary Movie, I think 3 or 4? Car crash and he has a question about his wife. There's a taco, a hot dog and a donut...

[surreal nest]

I wonder if thats why my ER is insanely busy right now

I doubt it but you never know

[arctic talon]

They show up and brutally murder the NCR/Legion and neither side decides to ask questions or think about it too hard aside for if you send Arcade to the Dam.

Also the Legion tries to kill them if Caeser is dead and fail horribly at it

and the Enclave just slaughter them en mass while the Legion tries to run them down

[winter pine]

Is this going to be another case of someone fat fingering something in a config file at Verizon again

I swear this has happened with this specifically before

[sour hornet]

When a chapter is created from scratch, how do they decide who the officers and sergeants are?

Hell, how are they trained?

Does another chapter do the training and send them off?

[plush mason]

so random question, anything made by xenos is banned in the imperium, does that mean everything of xenos origin? even mundane household crap from a random minor xenos race the imperium wiped out centuries ago?

[arctic talon]

Existing chapters usually send stuff for that

[arctic talon]

Yes, unless the imperium thinks they’re human relics.

Eldar and tau crops are banned for example

[plush mason]

the cold trade for xenos items must have a wild range of items lmao

from whatever hellish weapons the drukhari make to fucking corn grown on some tau world to spoons from some random pre space age races some random SM chapter exterminated

i wonder if any of the high lords dabble in the xeno artifact trade, one of them just got a fucking secret warehouse on Terra just full of random xenos crap

[fervent geode]

They would probably get killed by Guilliman for it, but before him, maybe

[sour hornet]

Quite literally everything

What they are willing to pursue a punishment for can vary widely though

Using a xenos utensil is illegal, but is an arbite going to kick down your door for that?

Maybe, who knows.

[plush mason]

tbf the arbite is more likely to kick down your door because they suspect the food you are eating was taken from the tithe shipment

[fervent geode]

Yuh the maintenence of the tithe is their main job, other stuff is more secondary

[fervent geode]

The enforcers would prob not bother, i reckon the xenotrade is more frequently purged in the area of advanced tech/weapons

[low gazelle]

Just to clarify if the emperor ever stands up

its not gonna be the emperor right?

Everytime they had a good joke

[pseudo fox]

Who pays thite in warhammer and who doest (only factions i mean)

[storm jungle]

only the Imperium does lol

[sour hornet]

Bro my brain is missing its wrinkles

real shit

I was typing out a full list of Imperial factions that do and dont pay the tithe

https://tenor.com/view/war-dogs-jonah-hill-movie-okay-wardogs-gif-6519763083733613767

[storm jungle]

the ones that dont can be counted on one hand lol

and thats mostly because they just "pay" through service ala Sororitas

[sour hornet]

I was explaining that the tithe takes other forms

[storm jungle]

even space marines submit taxes

[sour hornet]

yeah ^

what's the point of taking a high tithe of cannon fodder from an agri-world

Just take the food lol

[storm jungle]

Depends. Maybe its a planet with a big population.

[sour hornet]

Bang for your buck if youre the governor of that setup

[storm jungle]

i mean they wouldnt care tbh

they are like rich people IRL

the entire joke of the Tithe is it robs a planet of all it has

[storm jungle]

Yeah they do

[sour hornet]

Like a dozen of em

[storm jungle]

its like 10 iirc

[sour hornet]

Hive worlds get that shit cranked up i bet

If you're related to a high lord I bet you can just get that shit lowered

[storm jungle]

you'd need to know someone in the administratum/need a huge reach

I got mentioned twice wtf did I do

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[pseudo fox]

I meant in imperium

Astra militarum ?

Astartes?

Mechanicus?

Yeah normal planets pay them ik

Imperial navy?

[valid needle]

Absolutely drip

[valid needle]

Everyone in one way or another

[sour hornet]

Everyone pays it. The more your planet produces an exotic good — Astartes, Imperial Knights, Literally Everything (Forge-Worlds) — the less likely your tithe is going to be massive.

But as Dilara says, it's meant to crush you.

[valid needle]

Even Primarchs pay tithes in certain ways

[sour hornet]

It will take the form of whatever you can contribute usefully. It's just for most institutions — that means billions of soldiers.

[valid needle]

Lion El’Jonsons was pledge the sons of his planet to the legion.

Since Caliban was a death world all he had to give was its people

Which angered Luther and led to a Legion civil war.

[vagrant fox]

The only one I can think of paying no tithes is that planet that was lost in the bureaucracy
Even then, it was later rediscovered and a fleet was sent to extract the tithe plus debt

[valid needle]

Huron don’t pay no tithes

Huron rebels before Huron pays his taxes

Huron hates taxation without representation

[shadow plover]

Huron gets face melted 😔

[raven stone]

The tithes are also just very much part of the "planned economy" theme of the Imperium

Bureaucrats just crunching rough numbers on what each planet can contribute economically to the whole of the Imperium and not really caring how it is achieved

And yes if a planet is re-contacted after being lost in bureaucracy they might have to pay tithes in interest

For Space Marines in particular, the tithes come usually in the form of their gene-seeds

Both for checking against corruption/mutation, as well as building a reserve stock of gene-seed for creating new Space Marine chapters

Part of why Huron not paying taxes was such a big deal (beyond other reasons)

[fervent geode]

There are also merchant consortiums, chartist guilds and trading companies, imo the tithe is more a great tax, the imperium doesn't really have a planned economy because beyond each planet paying its tithe their economic systems are really regulated at all

[nocturne crest]

This might be a silly question, but is there a tabletop unit that can just kill by moving?

[fervent geode]

I mean some units can inflict mortal wounds by moving over (usually to bomb) others, but they need to able to fly, or have the necron wraith form

[raven stone]

And IIRC you still need to succeed with dice rolls for the "Mortal" part of thr wounding roll to take effect

[raven stone]

If the dialogue options in Rogue Trader are to go by, even worlds under a Rogue Trader's fiefdom is subject to Tithe as well.

[fervent geode]

Yeah ofc they are

Big tax and all

[daring creek]

Are there such things as

tax exemptions

[unique bronze]

Only to nobles am guessing

[vagrant fox]

Something like that

Live on a dead world which pays no tithe

[wary fulcrum]

Huron was right

He won the legal battle

That’s why they killed him

[calm eagle]

Can anyone sum up the lore of the psycanium for everyone but Morrow? It was the only one I could patch together. Something like "Morrow was a soldier, killed a commissar, got picked by inquisitor, frozen, unfrozen, now fine but with brain issues".
I do not have access to YouTube at the moment, but I'd really like to know

[fervent geode]

Kind of, tithe grade Aptus Non, basically the world doesn't pay tax either because its a dead world or because it serves the imperium in some other way (space marine homeworld, forgeworld)

[fervent geode]

||Ok based on my memory, zola was a ganger who had a brother who enlisted in the Moebian VIth, eventually she got "too good" in the gang and was gonna get purged by the boss, rannick thought she'd be useful and picked her up as an agent, she did a good job and now she is an explicator.||

||Emora Brahms was forced to inherit the Mourningstar from her mother because the ship is kinda cursed due to an ancient member of the brahms lineage basically being kept alive in what i assume is a stasis/life support system down there, the ship is spending energy on it due to this and the brahms ancestor is also making emora's life worse as he basically demands she does things against what rogue trading dynasts should be doing (breaking contracts, no profitmaking)||

||Zorin hates everyone except for Hadron||

[storm jungle]

Its hilarious how deep and complex Brahms echoes were in general

because we went from basic ganger-to-inquisitionman shit with Zola to like a literal novel plot with Brahms

[crisp heath]

@unique bronze in reference to this

Stonetoss is a known neo-nazi who does comics targeting minorities or just grifting in current popular hobby/fandom

[unique bronze]

always gonna be people like that i think

[queen laurel]

An unfortunate side effect some people just like watching things burn

No reasoning with those guys

[storm jungle]

Idgaf how it sounds but people like stonetoss should be beaten to near death on the street

actual waste of human life

lol

[celest dome]

Indeed

[queen laurel]

I'm not the type to indulge violence but some people just really do not listen dude

[crisp heath]

I'm a bit more extreme where I think near death isn't enough for them tbh

[storm jungle]

Im trying to be nice.

[crisp heath]

Fairs

[queen laurel]

And the only way to convince them is hitting them with a brick on the side of the leg

[storm jungle]

/s

[unique bronze]

Murder

[storm jungle]

But also you know its legit because he made a comic for this topic like... months later now lol, guy is late af

usual grifter moment

ah well

[crisp heath]

Violence unfortunately has been the answer to 99% of problems trough-out history

Some people just deserve it

[queen laurel]

Yeah like I said sometimes the only way someone will listen to you is with a firm brick to the side of the legs

[crisp heath]

That is still being nice to them

[rose thorn]

Isn’t stone toss also apart of that pro SA group?

[unique bronze]

Make them run thru the Gauntlet

I have him blocked too

[queen laurel]

I don't have his account blocked but I also don't use Twitter so

I technically blocked every annoying person there

In terms of SMG, the allies during ww2 have either ultra light Sten or ultra heavy Thompson with almost nothing in between.
