40k-lore-chat

[plucky moth]

mine does this too

[arctic talon]

I’ve been waiting so long for red corsairs lore

And eldar lore

I get both in one book

[valid needle]

Utter Woke Nonsense.

[arctic talon]

Smh

I’m gona feed you to Hurons creature if you deny me this

[valid needle]

I will convert your new red corsair battle force into a Fallen or Nightlord battle force, I’m not afraid to do it.

[daring creek]

I still don't get why ppl are angry about femtodes or "it messing with the lore" I mean sure I can agree gw as a company are doing these things to appeal to a progressive audience and stray from the image they garnered from their nazi fanbase....and I just cannot see that being a bad thing???

I mean. So what? What's being ruined? Like last night we had a guy send a message complaining about it then leave.

[young pecan]

Women are best represented with no clothes on and huge boobies and nos tomach and a big big butt and an OwO voice and

[daring creek]

Even if its inaccurate to the lore

[arctic talon]

Electric chair

[young pecan]

Competent and strong women are soooo gross brahhh

[daring creek]

Of custodes being originally just guys

Who cares??

However if we did get like female space marines canonically I would squint my eyes and be very confused. That's definitely not happening though.

Maybe it'll be real in 50k

[valid needle]

Meanwhile a human woman was able to command 5 thousand Horus heresy Dark Angels

[young pecan]

Well how else are men supposed to feel superior to women? And don't say the patriarchy, or more reproductive rights, or less workplace discrimination, or less sexual harassment

What else is there

[arctic talon]

She was one of the original caliban knights no?

[valid needle]

I don’t know but she was caliban born and high ranking in the Calibanite Jaegers so maybe.

[vagrant fox]

Drop the Red Corsairs for Blood Pact and you've got something beautiful

[valid needle]

I imagine the women knights either joined the Jaegers or stayed to help train the space marine aspirants at Aldurukh.

Granted she commanded the 5 thousand into a trap she had set where she would also command them murdered by Luther’s dark angels but that’s besides the point.

[arctic talon]

Traitor W

[valid needle]

Subjective

The dynamic between Luther’s forces and Lions forces is both thought the other was a traitor to different things.

So traitor for either is subjective really

[vagrant fox]

because you're too woke

[misty vector]

is it even really contradicting lore?

far as i know its like
gene seed doesnt work well on women
custodes dont use gene seed

its not contradicting

[daring creek]

Something something "men"

I think I've seen it posted by grummz

[misty vector]

https://tenor.com/view/hammer-grummz-smash-milk-thief-gif-1394120030354256239

i like how so many gifs are him getting hit with hammers specifically

[vagrant fox]

There was one thing about firstborn noble sons once upon a time but nothing that really excludes anything iirc

[valid needle]

It kind of did

[vagrant fox]

It's been a while since I read it It's plausible

[valid needle]

It said something like “it is known that ALL custodians start as infant sons of noble houses”

[wary fulcrum]

Ah, but their share prices went down on Monday

And that’s definitely not related to a British company being threatened with a 35% tariff in its biggest market by May

No sir

It’s the female representation that did it

[wary fulcrum]

This is all the mentioned

Not one says it only works on male aspirants

[valid needle]

I wouldn’t really say this shows as a rumour

It’s like saying “it is known Corswain is a DA fanboy” so does that mean I’m not a DA fanboy and it’s only a rumour?

[storm jungle]

The thing that gets me is like

theres WAY more egregious retcons in the lore than this

"Oh yeah this tank always existed"

"Oh yeah this character always existed"

"Oh yeah this faction always existed"

but the moment its girls in power armor? oof

its very much just a non-issue

[rocky gale]

Also in the english language grammatically the Masculine form is traditionally taken as the default for mixed groups

[valid needle]

Sisters of battle use power armour

[storm jungle]

And people constantly got mad at em too

lol

i was there

👩‍🦼‍➡️

[wary fulcrum]

You’d have to take that up with the guy who wrote the footnotes, that’s their opinion, I’m reposting the lore more than anything

[rocky gale]

This is why a Sisterhood is all women but a Brotherhood is not inherently all men unless specified

[storm jungle]

Sons of Big Boss

theres women in it

the dream is ruined....

but yeah basically what she said lol

its the same IRL, theres "Brotherhoods" rn who got a ton of female members in them

[wary fulcrum]

For me, it comes down to to things

Firstly, the vast majority of these people weren’t around for these changes, so they don’t care

Secondly, these changes didn’t have YouTubers telling them to care

[valid needle]

I like the dreadnought with the big daddy sword

[daring creek]

I wanna see thst

I think I've seen it

I don't know how a dreadnought would actually use a sword

[lament shoal]

Finally got around to playing Bully, and I fucking love how blatantly satirical some of these fucking characters are. Walk past a prefect to hear him say "Maybe I should abuse my authority and pick on someone innocent!" Later I'm being chased by a cop and this mf fucking says "TIME FOR SOME POLICE BRUTALITY!" BRO 😭

[wary fulcrum]

The thing is right

This is a bell curve

90% of the hobby aren’t really arsed one way or another

Every group, chat, Reddit you see kicking off against or in support of it (and I’m in the latter group)

Even in the biggest groups it’s a couple of hundred people.

Who has hundreds of thousands of members.

No one in any great number actually gives a shit, for or against. They have no strong opinion, it’s just cool lore they read and accept. They’re not happy it’s there, they’re not sad it’s there, any more than they’re happy or sad about sedimentary rock. There’s no emotional connection.

We’re the fringe.

[rocky gale]

Mankind = men and women, Brotherhood = men and women, Man made = men and women, Fellowship = men and women

It's just the way the language works

[rose thorn]

AHAHAHAHAA I KNEW IT

I KNEW I HATED HIM FOR A REASON

[valid needle]

Dilara

[rose thorn]

AHAHAHAH

[valid needle]

Where’s the Sanguinius getting stomped to death meme

Quick i need it

I’m fighting a BA fan and need to mock his weak dad

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-12756433236776117962

No you don't

[valid needle]

I need to bring up dads before he does so I can automatically win

[wary fulcrum]

If you’re playing Sons of Horus you can play my dad is stronger than your dad

[rose thorn]

AHAHAAHAHAHA I KNEW ITTTTTT

[rose thorn]

he opens up with 2 trans jokes and acts liek female custodies was retoconned in and he owuld look at it form a cultural stance lmao

[storm jungle]

"THE MORE YOU RUN THE MORE IM GONNA BEAT YOU"

YOU WANT FORGIVENESS?

[rose thorn]

lets ee if the only warhammer 40k vtuber i like is a chud

he hasnt posted about it yet

[wintry cloud]

gonna buy 50 of the custodes boxes so GW makes an insane profit, and continues to add more women into 40k

gonna put ultramarines players to shame

[rose thorn]

this box is gonna fuckin explode lmao

only people whod ont buy models complained lmao

[vagrant fox]

Not my beautiful genocidal warcrime machine 😔

[wintry cloud]

i think voidscarred with the gay romance got like 2nd place behind the dropsite massacre remake

good sign

[rocky gale]

Book vote was just a faction popularity contest tbh

[storm jungle]

a W is a W at the end of the day

[rocky gale]

I know Eldar fans got together and had an internal survery to decide which book they should all vote for and Voidscarred won

[storm jungle]

"which book"

literally the only eldar book

💀

GETOU-

[vagrant fox]

I was glad to see Remnant Blade in there but I'm not sure it deserved it

[rocky gale]

I think it was Voidscarred or Lelith

[storm jungle]

Remnant Blade, Era of Ruin and Fulgrim absolutely didnt deserve to be on there imo

Remnant is fine but the latter two are just awful books

[arctic talon]

Fulgrim perfect son is literally only good for the gore in it

[rocky gale]

Because the Eldar server is for both Craftworld and Drukhari, so they voted to decide which book to pool their votes for

[vagrant fox]

I'm the most ardent Perfect Son defender (it's mid if you change the title) and not in a billion years should it be on that list

[arctic talon]

/j

Also No Elemental council

💀

[storm jungle]

yeah thats how you know this shit is rigged

[arctic talon]

I know it was released at the start of fucking 2025

[storm jungle]

literally just an onslaught of marine books

[arctic talon]

But still

[storm jungle]

lol

[arctic talon]

That was like

The best book of the year

[rocky gale]

Elemental Council didn't get voted for because it's cover is weird

[daring creek]

2020 election vote map

[arctic talon]

Even people I know who like marine books think it’s fucking weird Era of ruin and perfect son are on it

lol

Rememnant blade is mid

And prolly got voted for by people who didn’t read it

Perfect son is genuinely bad

[vagrant fox]

I should read Elemental Council but I'm also considering that Ushoran book, life is truly difficult

[arctic talon]

Aside from Reid’s extremely vivid gore descriptions

Which makes sense bcs she’s a trauma surgeon

💀

[storm jungle]

everyone who wrote in Era of Ruin should be shot imo

"Yeah lets cover what this random Word Bearer nobody cares about got up to; oh no he dies at the end"

like... what even is this book

it essentially covers nothing important post-siege minus maybe the Katsuhiro story lol

[arctic talon]

The Katsuhiro story is like

Eh

It’s importantish

But still

[rocky gale]

PS2 game cover looking ass

[vagrant fox]

It has its moments ok, Marduk Tamaris is such a genuinely pathetic wet puppy of a marine I can't help but to love him

[arctic talon]

God why did they make the ethereal look like he’s about to call me a slur

It’s so fucking funny

[storm jungle]

Gue'la 💀

[vagrant fox]

He's about to call someone a gweilo

[misty vector]

also doesnt swordlight only have her helmet off in like one scene in the book

[arctic talon]

Yes

Lmao

[rocky gale]

Which one is Swordlight?

[storm jungle]

I forgot was Gweilo "white guy"

[misty vector]

yeahhh thats what i was thinking, feel like she shouldve had it on the cover too

[misty vector]

soldier in the bottom right

[rocky gale]

Hmm

Who's the one in the back left

[daring creek]

What's the meaning of the Y on their face

[vagrant fox]

More or less, I think literally translated it's ghoul man or something

[misty vector]

Ke, earth caste

[rocky gale]

The Tau? That's their nose

[daring creek]

Ah

[rocky gale]

She's pretty

[misty vector]

nasal chasm they call it

[misty vector]

shes a good character

made a fancy new suit of armor

[daring creek]

I wonder what it looks like when they sneeze

[arctic talon]

Foreigner in a derogatory way, usually anyone not from East Asia or SEA.

Literal translation from Cantonese would be most accurately described as calling someone a ghoul/ghost

[daring creek]

Lol

[vagrant fox]

I almost prefer 洋鬼子/ yang guizi shit slaps

I'm the true western devil

[daring creek]

That reminds me of how some nigerians use "Akata"

It just means stray cat

[wintry cloud]

Were in lads

[daring creek]

It was something my dad decided to have a race war over in his head

[arctic talon]

The context/past is what makes it offensive

Not the words on their own

Tbh

Anyways as far as slurs in Cantonese go Gweilo is like

Very mild

[daring creek]

Not race war just...pointless bullshit

Going from "Blacks are superior" to "Black Americans are superior"

[vagrant fox]

Is he a hotep

I love those people

[daring creek]

Whats that

Hes a black seperatist

[arctic talon]

He wants to differentiate so he has a sense of superiority still

Is probably why

[daring creek]

5%'er bullshit too

[daring creek]

When I told him the words meaning he chilled out but still went on a bit

Its a nothing burger thing to be upset about

Though

I think its been a while since hes watched non sense on youtube

Maybe I get the brainrot from him

Maybe both my parents.

[arctic talon]

That’s good

[daring creek]

Though

[opaque coyote]

Everybody gets best represented with a big butt tbf

It is the best representation

[daring creek]

He definitely binges youtube shorts at his job

[daring creek]

Real^

Need some cheeked up reject marines rn

Speaking of

[vagrant fox]

I think it's a mixed bag of african americans are the real native americans / the original jews / the original pharaonic egypt type nowadays
That sort of chronically online type who photoshops Mozart or Beethoven black or what have you

Original pharaonic egypt is poorly worded one dynasty was nubian but you get the gist

[young pecan]

Stop making my point valid bro I was trying to wear the chud glasses

[daring creek]

I sorta dislike how theres zero sex appeal in dt. I mean I get why but still.

Fem Arbitrator looks cool as fuck.

The only thing I can't look past is the heels

How do you chase criminals in heels

Without your feet falling off

[young pecan]

Obligatory "boobed chestplates are worse than normal chestplates" comment

And yeah I hate when they make combatants of any kind wear heels

It doesn't matter if they're an assassin who's hypermobile

It's still a flaw

[vagrant fox]

Artists are degenerates is the only reason trust

[daring creek]

African americans are the real americans is a new one. But I think I might know

Something about africans being there before the natives we know now? Idk. Not knowledgeable at all.

However

[arctic talon]

It comes from a land bridge thing

It’s weird

[daring creek]

We should still get reparations for this. I want all the money

[arctic talon]

Don’t think about it, most of these weird conspiracy theories don’t make sense

lol

[daring creek]

Yeah but I can't help it when my dad speaks

[vagrant fox]

There's that one that the Olmecs were from Africa, love that one

[daring creek]

why are you like this?

I ask internally to him

Probably generational abuse

[vagrant fox]

Some people are just wack

[daring creek]

Not only white people owe me money. But native people now too

[vagrant fox]

https://www.sapiens.org/culture/hotep/

Genuinely fascinating

Within Hotep memes, Black women are often presented as “Nubian queens” or “mothers of civilization” through images celebrating their beauty and power. Claims are made that they have superhuman taste and superior breast milk. They are expected to serve primarily as support to their Black husbands.

[spring cairn]

kinda like the nations of islam

same vibe

[arctic talon]

Honestly why are all these conspiracy theories completely off the rails insane

[vagrant fox]

It's a whole thing and I'm endlessly interested in it

[arctic talon]

Like

How do people come up with this ever

[young pecan]

YAKUB SAVE US

[spring cairn]

i love those wacky cults

[arctic talon]

Like

[spring cairn]

scientology lore is also fun as hell

[arctic talon]

Fucking Scientology, NoI, western pseudo history

Like

How does this shit even spawn

[spring cairn]

if you don't think that it affects real people too much

[arctic talon]

I literally meant someone in the NoI irl

[young pecan]

Do NoI believers also think there's a white genocide happening

[arctic talon]

No, because they severed ties with the American Nazi party

[spring cairn]

NA has the most deranged fascinating groups

[vagrant fox]

I've just assumed America is located ontop of some sort of massive native american burial grounds that curses people to go completely off the rails

[arctic talon]

Oh yeah American Neo Nazi conspiracy theories are also deranged

Like the whole

Rebirth thing

Of one weird subgroup

[arctic talon]

China has more deranged shit as long as you can understand mandarin

You get some truly masterful stuff

[spring cairn]

I've been considering actually learning chinese history

the surface level is already interesting enough

[vagrant fox]

I spent a whole day on douyin shits crazy in China

[arctic talon]

Douyin and QQ are fucking crazy

Long as you know mandarin lol

[vagrant fox]

Quite fond of the video I saw of a Chinese guy turning more and more white the more he imitated MacArthur

[vagrant fox]

His videos are goated tbf, not that I understand mandarin and more than 1/8 letters

[arctic talon]

Good enough

[spring cairn]

I got 1 month worth of chinese back when I first tried college in 2019

[young pecan]

[spring cairn]

don't forget to vote for venator/quinn

OR I WILL LEAK UR ADRESS

[young pecan]

Rem seems interesting

[arctic talon]

REM is about to be the most annoying fucker alive

[young pecan]

It depends on what their abilities would be tbh

[arctic talon]

The fact they’re like Io

[spring cairn]

i already HATE rem

[arctic talon]

💀

God help us all

[young pecan]

Yeah Rem could either be horrifically obnoxious with sleep stuff or be perfectly fine

[arctic talon]

Actually they’re like Io fused with Yuumi

[young pecan]

Are their abilities leaked at all

[arctic talon]

Which is worse

[young pecan]

Io?

[spring cairn]

I just hate the concept of having this parasite

[arctic talon]

Dota character

[spring cairn]

But you can shoot him

[rose thorn]

holy deadlock posting

[arctic talon]

Apollo, Quinn, silver, REM, and the unicorn lady

I forgot her name

[spring cairn]

we don't know the options for sure yet

[arctic talon]

All are WIP

But I think it’s safe to bet

[spring cairn]

we have leakez

[rose thorn]

pics? i only watched NL play deadlock lol

[arctic talon]

Venator and REM

[languid meadow]

At most Fencer, Venator, Rem, and the unicorn

maybe graves

I don't think silver is coming out

[arctic talon]

Graves seems complete

Silver is def uh

💀

[spring cairn]

Venator i mean, if he doesn't make it in after all this time

he has to

[arctic talon]

Venator has to

lol

[rose thorn]

PEAK??????????

[arctic talon]

He’s been in files the longest

[spring cairn]

there was like a bit of her arm passed around but it was AI

[languid meadow]

pretty sure silver is only one not coming

[spring cairn]

anything's possible but she's the less likely

[languid meadow]

the remodels and new characters are what I'm betting on

[spring cairn]

yam, warden, viscous hopefully

[arctic talon]

I wonder if we’re going to get an angel character lmao

At some point

Or angel adjacent

Considering (some) ixians just look devilish

Like Abrams

And Apollo

I think Apollo is Ixian

He’s got a tail and horns

[spring cairn]

the closest we have is doorman

not an angel by any mean but

[arctic talon]

Doorman is more eldritch god

Then Angel

I’m expecting like, feathery wings

Not a halo if that’s too on the nose

[languid meadow]

that painting has two angels

if it's of a real event

seems like it

[arctic talon]

“God is real and he hates you Quinn” 💀

[rose thorn]

lol

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside I wonder if we’re getting more friends of humanity adjacent characters

[rose thorn]

those are the biggot guys right?

[spring cairn]

Yeah ik i just meant something close to a god ?

[arctic talon]

An fair

[spring cairn]

like he's not a god but he's close

[arctic talon]

Yeah they’re the ranked professional racists

Honestly Doorman is weird in a good way

I hope they don’t explain too much about him

[spring cairn]

he's like a minor demon

if u consider patrons to be demon like or god like

[languid meadow]

def more on the deity side

they have the power to fuck over oathkeeper and shit

who in himself is pretty powerful

also celeste model got leaked

[arctic talon]

Huh

Less pink then I thought

Maybe it’s got a filter

[spring cairn]

they probably toned the pink down

wouldn't surprise me cuz in the artworks she is PINK

[languid meadow]

what

[arctic talon]

Honestly I like the PINK

Makes her pop

Unfinished models are: literally all of them but Abrams

[rose thorn]

funny movement tho

[arctic talon]

Lol

[spring cairn]

extremely strong

on top of being annoyinhg

[rose thorn]

ohh

[arctic talon]

I think Abrams is the only final model

[spring cairn]

kelvin is probably final too if you don't factor his gun in

and geist

[arctic talon]

Placeholder models are: Warden, viscous, grey talon and Yamato

Geist and Kelvin’s textures aren’t done yet

So I’m excluding them from done done

Abrams is the only one with all his texture work done

[lament shoal]

Also I lost my shit when Derby says "YOU FILTHY DEMOCRAT!" to Bif after he gets his ass beat by Jimmy. The delivery on that line was perfect lmao

[arctic talon]

Haze might also be to be replaced

[spring cairn]

dude, everytime i see haze clips

istg

[arctic talon]

Bebop is getting a mild redo

[spring cairn]

they have the fucking ass jiggle mod on

[arctic talon]

His model rn is neon prime

[arctic talon]

Awful

[spring cairn]

I HATE IT

KILL ALL HAZE MAINS

[rose thorn]

i hope the magicians redeisgn is good

[spring cairn]

they not even getting a redsign

they just gonna get a proper model lmao

[rose thorn]

sinclair

dman

[languid meadow]

Haze aka #Himmler

[spring cairn]

my them been a ragdoll with a hat and a wand since launch

[arctic talon]

Sinclair’s like supposed to look odd

[languid meadow]

Bebop is getting a remodel but I think it's gonna be like vindictas

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[languid meadow]

Also I think geist will be like that

[arctic talon]

Ngl Vindicta looks more attractive/less corpse like now

[spring cairn]

ik but it's a 0 effort model, viscous tier rn

[arctic talon]

Geist already got a new model

[spring cairn]

pure placeholdery

[arctic talon]

Yeah

I think it’s the eyes

Them making her eyes glowy instead of like

The old look she had makes her look less dead

[storm jungle]

Rockstar's writing has always been on point so thats good to see

also HIGHLY recommend checking the game's OST out

one of the best ive ever listened to i think

[spring cairn]

i can't get in-game rn

but i hadn't seen this 1

[arctic talon]

Wonder if the hideout is just gona keep on getting expansions/updates until it’s like a “complete” place

lol

[surreal nest]

I hate the deadlock server

[arctic talon]

I’m not in it lol

[surreal nest]

I asked for a Pic of the new hideout items they added and people got genuinely mad and told me to Google it like what the fuck

Wtf do I google Deadlock new hideout items for a patch that just happened

Die!

[storm jungle]

Nolifelock™

🫡

[arctic talon]

This is valves hot person game

[languid meadow]

I posted it earlier chuddy

[arctic talon]

I can feel it

💀

[surreal nest]

Deadlock community is highkey xenophobic/racist as fuck too

But yknow

Valve game

Average discord discussion is how much they hate Russian players and how their language is fake dog tongue

[arctic talon]

Valve game
Attracts MOBA players especially DOTA

What did you expect

[surreal nest]

Its not my expectation its my hope for a better world

[arctic talon]

Also

is a MOBA ifself

[arctic talon]

It’s got stricter chat moderation then every other valve game

So it looks like they’ll be clamping down on it ingame more

Then the rest of their stuff

[surreal nest]

Ngl I doubt that so much

[arctic talon]

It already filters out common slurs in text so it’s better then CS and Dota lol

[surreal nest]

I see repeat customers who frequent the slur store in my game

[arctic talon]

report them

[spring cairn]

sorry.....

[arctic talon]

It’ll kill them smh

[surreal nest]

I do

Every game i get them

[arctic talon]

Guess I’m lucky

Lmao

[surreal nest]

I still see them 💀

I had a dude named HazePlayer who just said slurs

Game would be better without haze ngl

Toxic ass character

[arctic talon]

Haze is like

The power farming carry

[surreal nest]

She's the Yasuo of deadlock

[arctic talon]

She’s going to attract those people

No

She’s not Yas

[spring cairn]

i'm following chat and saving pavlena

[surreal nest]

All she does is bring the worst type of people to the game

[spring cairn]

it's not ez

[arctic talon]

Execution is too simple

lol

[surreal nest]

Yas execution is simple too

[lament shoal]

Oh yeah I really like the free roam and bike riding music. Really has that small town vibe to it

[surreal nest]

Its just learning more about them thats hard

[arctic talon]

Floor is higher then haze

[surreal nest]

Maybe

[arctic talon]

Haze’s skill floor is rock bottom lol

You just need to shoot at people

[surreal nest]

Haze has massive brained shit you can do

[arctic talon]

anyways valve buff lash

I’m not biased

Please revert all death slam nerfs

He needs it

[surreal nest]

Yeah and yasuo can just E Q minion wave and endlessly poke you

[spring cairn]

the only haze build u should play is sleep punch

[surreal nest]

Me m7 yasuo do not question my authority

[spring cairn]

secret haze tech

[arctic talon]

Nah the full spirit sleep knife build

Is fucking hilarious

[spring cairn]

it is

but punching people is fun

[surreal nest]

I hope REM isnt going to be what I think they will be

[arctic talon]

They will be

[spring cairn]

it is

[arctic talon]

They’re like Io/Yuumi

lol

But they’re actually small

[spring cairn]

going to be exactly what you fear it will be

[arctic talon]

Can you shoot Rem

While they hang on

Like Io

[surreal nest]

Valve is too quirky

[arctic talon]

Or are they like Yuumi

[surreal nest]

They make cool ideas that arent fun to ever deal with

[arctic talon]

Tbf Yuumi is inspired by Io lol

Just Io is less awful to play into

[spring cairn]

Io son or Yuumi daughter

pick 1

[arctic talon]

Bcs you can kill Io while it hangs on to someone

Io son

Io is less braindead

[surreal nest]

I hope they kept Ven's shotgun pushback wallsplat ability

Thats all I want

[arctic talon]

Current Yuumi is like

[surreal nest]

Im a slut for wallsplats

[arctic talon]

Genuinely a husk of a champion

Io is mostly complete

lol

[spring cairn]

i hate latch on mechanics in pvp gamez

grrrr

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/wipe-guardian-ana-io-dota2-gif-14895514

The creature

[spring cairn]

I don't play Lol but most of my friends do

have you seen that 1 guy who played 1 champ normally and Yuumi with his feet on another account in the same match

how do u defend this char after somethjing like that

[arctic talon]

lol

Yuumi genuinely had mechanics in her original iteration

Annoying as fuck

But you did have to use your hands

Current Yuumi sucks and requires no hands

[young pecan]

Pre-rework or even before that?

Because pre-rework was still braindead

[arctic talon]

Pre rework Yuumi required hands

I never said she wasn’t braindead easy

But you had to actually use your hands

Bcs of her passive and to get value with it

[young pecan]

As long as your toe can press the E and R button without fat fingering W, you could do it

The passive was just optimization tbh, most of her power was loaded into the E imo

[winged jacinth]

They're adding REM? is that him in the corner?

[languid meadow]

Oh yeah Mel is getting killed next update

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

thank GOD

[arctic talon]

Ngl kind of overkill but whatever

Better to overnerf then undernerf

lol

[arctic talon]

His pillow is in the hideout

[winged jacinth]

I figured hed be in the spotlight, losing his religion

Which i guess is what happens when your patron dies

[spring cairn]

Venator will win the first vote

i neeeed it

[languid meadow]

If her design is even close to this

https://tenor.com/view/warframe-roathe-freaky-freaky-meme-warframe-freaky-gif-17192775494716670015

[spring cairn]

i wonder if she'll have a transformation gimmick or she'll always be a lycan at all time

[languid meadow]

Flannel on tough women are like crack to me

[spring cairn]

who would've guessed...

[languid meadow]

The leak suggests she has two forms

[languid meadow]

rude...

[winged jacinth]

Why are werewolves always from the pacific northwest

If they're not explicitly they dress like it

[rocky gale]

It's not enough tbh

If you have even basic game knowledge you will go 15/0 every game as Mel

It's the dumbest champ in the game

People complain about her shield, but honestly if you're decent at the game you will entirely dominate lane without ever having to use your shield, the rest of her kit is that strong

So having a shield that reflects every projectile in the game for 3 seconds is just a diamond crusted cherry on top

[young pecan]

-5 stam on wake

Stamina mastery likers are in hell

[opaque coyote]

There are truths to this world that are immutable

big ass is one of them

[spring cairn]

still not 100% sure if it's real

you never know, deadlock leakz are filled to the brim with AI stuff

[jade holly]

And if you’re me you go Urgot bot lane and thread the needle with your ult to steal a kill from your jungle

[elfin sleet]

Can someone plz explain to me Knight Commander Dragor's title?
I thought he was a Knight pilot.

[arctic talon]

Knight Commander is a rank within some guard regiment tank/armored regiments to indicate a high ranking Tank Commander

its primarily used in cadian regiments

but Dragor's existence indicates its used outside of them

[storm jungle]

also 40k re-uses words a lot

[elfin sleet]

Oh cool!

Is there a source/date for the title Knight Commander? Just curious if it possibly predates Imperial Knights.

[arctic talon]

It doesn't predate them as imperial knights existed all the way back in 2e and knight commander pask came into existence 3e

but Knights also got 0 lore from 2e all the way until 6e lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah it was entirely invented for Pask as it sounded cool

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Pask

[arctic talon]

Which is their modern iteration

[storm jungle]

but its literally just "Tank Commander"

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Pask is just a very good tank commander

[elfin sleet]

That is really cool! :o

tysm!

[arctic talon]

would have been an easier mission if Dragor was some Freeblade baron

and could just step on the moebians

[jade holly]

Godzilla and Kong are so fucked if this is true lmao

Apparently we may see Space Godzilla in the next movie

[storm jungle]

Based.

Destroy the earth.

[jade holly]

You know who I want to see? Gigan

[jade holly]

My favorite alien bounty hunter

yes he’s a bounty hunter

[nocturne crest]

Can anyone give me a brief rundown why it appears Trench Crusade has crashed and burned?

[sour hornet]

Are there any named eldar characters with prosthetics?

[dapper gyro]

Would having their soul attached to a mech considered a full body prosthetic?

[sour hornet]

I forgot about wraithlords, but... I suppose

[opaque coyote]

I mean do dreadnoughts count also?

[arctic talon]

Yirel has a prosthetic eye

If you count dark eldar
Urien Rakarth’s limbs are fleshy replacments and he has additional mechanical arms

Lady Malys’s current replacement heart is made out of a weird psychic crystal

[dapper gyro]

Yes to me. I don't know about the other guy.

[tough haven]

Trying to think of a horrific dark mechanicum monstrosity to have some missing hivers be turned into

[opaque coyote]

Hmmmmmmm...

An ever screaming flesh and metal golem.

Their faces constantly screaming while the Daemon encased laughs

A giant axe made out of their skeletons

Basically something similar to this but with more technology bits and mechadendrites

Oh yeah also faces mixed into the body

Sorta like Envy from FMA

[hollow lantern]

Is that uhh

[opaque coyote]

Trepang2

[hollow lantern]

Trepang 2 castle midway boss?

[opaque coyote]

Ye

[hollow lantern]

Yeah lmfao

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[tough haven]

Straight up trepanging it

[opaque coyote]

Fr

[tough haven]

Fuck I should get that game

[opaque coyote]

But yeah Trepang2 has some awesome monster designs

Still has my favorite iteration of moth man

[young pecan]

Trepang has shit like that?

I thought the whole game was you murderizing tacticool guys

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it's an urban fantasy universe.

Still uses guns and tacticool and shit

But magic casually exists and is used frequently

You unfortunately don't get to use any

[hollow lantern]

Yes but it's mainly early tbh

[opaque coyote]

Except the magic of BULLETS

[opaque coyote]

You get sent to the fucking backrooms

By a magical crystal

[celest cedar]

trepang2 mentioned

BREAK THE CYCLE

[hollow lantern]

Tbh that was the dumbest part of the entire game

[opaque coyote]

That may or may not have the souls of thousands of people

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it does work for me given that it doesn't add any like unique monsters or anything

[opaque coyote]

Just people stuck with you that you murder

[hollow lantern]

I went "oh a backrooms joke"

And moved on tbh

[opaque coyote]

I think Trepang2 is literally just

"what's something cool?"

"A UFO?"

"of course!"

[tough haven]

Trepang 2 was like "Alright, lets do some meth and develop a game"

And it just works

[opaque coyote]

It's similar to Terraria in that sense

In where it's just "what is fucking cool?"

And then boom

And it works

You fucking gun down a god damn submarine

[celest cedar]

rule of cool trumps rule of logic (sometimes)

[opaque coyote]

The submarine shoots missiles containing people

It can get surprisingly disturbing tbh

[dark moon]

Trepang 2 sounds like an absolute fever dream of a game.

[opaque coyote]

Like you hear them drowning

Because you're going on the wreckage to the next oil rig over

So you're literally just hearing them drowning and basically dying with zero escape

And there's also Pandora institute where they grab terminally ill children and uh

Do shit like this

Yes that was once a person

[dark moon]

I wish I could unsee this, thanks.

[celest cedar]

the horizon level where they just haphazardly saw people's head open without anesthesia is really distrubing

[opaque coyote]

"The effects on a human subject were catastrophic. Upon exposure, the subject's DNA was rapidly rewritten, causing grotesque mutations and physical deformations.

The subject was immediately transformed: its skin took on a sickly green hue, becoming blistered and swollen and oozing a thick green liquid.

Behavior became increasingly valent and erratic. It is unclear whether this was a result of the mutation itself, or a side effect of the pain and discomfort caused by the changes to their body..

Despite these horrific effects, brain scans revealed that the subject's cognitive abilities appeared to remain intact, although severely impaired. They were able to process same information and make limited decisions, as evidenced by their reactions to physical and verbal stimuli.

Unfortunately, the subject did not survive for long after the mutation began. The gas buildup caused by the mutation eventually led to a massive explosion, killing the subject."

[celest cedar]

like you deadass can hear the donors screaming in pain as surgeons cut them open

[opaque coyote]

Btw you fight them later

It's also using Mothman juice

[tough haven]

Its like LSD combined with tacticool

[opaque coyote]

I would say less fever dream and more

"Actual Metal Album cover"

[tough haven]

Scientists need hobbies, cause eventually you get bored and just do shit like this for no reason

[dark moon]

Well uh, time to not play Trepang 2, sounds like I’d get nightmares from it all.

[opaque coyote]

The main plot of the game is basically

Arasaka fighting against the Illumanti

...

And you're on the Illumanti's side

And neither side is good

Like at all

[tough haven]

Plot? What Plot? All I see is a vehicle for the action

[opaque coyote]

But the Illumanti is worse

[tough haven]

and thats ok

[celest cedar]

Jeff Bezos vs the deep state

[opaque coyote]

Literally

[tough haven]

Weirdly enough I never hear anyone talk about trepang 1

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the most disturbing detail is how there's two logs where it's just

Templates

And then they literally sent out the fucking template

Because so many patients died to the trials

[tough haven]

for what?

[opaque coyote]

Dear [ERROR: NEXT OF KIN DATA NOT ENTERED],

I hope this message finds you well. You must be worried about my well-being, since I haven't contacted you in some time.

I am doing fine, but my illness is in its final stages and unfortunately I will pass away soon.

As much as I would like to hear from you, please respect my privacy at this time, You

will receive my belongings and some forms that require your signature on my behalf. Please sign these forms and mail them back, it means a lot to me

Your [ERROR RELATIONSHIP UNKNOWN],

Joseph

[tough haven]

Oh like a writing template

[hollow lantern]

Do you know what 1 is

[tough haven]

I thought you meant like for manufacturing

[opaque coyote]

Nope

[tough haven]

Ive legit never heard of it, I just infer that it must exist due to trepang 2

[opaque coyote]

Also they literally send the exact same template automatically

[opaque coyote]

It's literally just a shitty game the dev made when he was like 14

That's completely unrelated

Trepang2 was just a working title that just stuck around

Also Trepang means Sea Cucumber

[hollow lantern]

It's a 2d sidescroller about a sea cucumber

[tough haven]

My favorite part of the game is when John Trepang says "Its time to get trepanging" and then he does

[opaque coyote]

Yeah they literally just kept what's essentially the placeholder name

And I find that fucking hilarious

[tough haven]

Couldnt be arsed

[hollow lantern]

https://youtu.be/7zlnNiNB1dA?si=5AxHT-63v43IRsbq

[tough haven]

said "yeah ship it, why the fuck not"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly the best part is that the story actually isn't bad

Plenty of world building

[tough haven]

Too bad we will never see any more

[opaque coyote]

We will

Just not at the moment

But they did sequel bait us in the complete ending

[opaque coyote]

Also it does something that's rare

It's an Urban Fantasy where the fantasy part actually is obvious.

[tough haven]

Who here remembers Incredibox, completely unrelated

[jade holly]

Apparently 2XKO is out

[opaque coyote]

Like magic is something well known in the Trepang2 universe.

So they aren't surprised when Horizon got exposed for doing magical experiments

That are surprised when it turns out that Horizon was basically torturing children using magic

And mutating them into monsters

And that literally thousands of terminally ill children were experimented on without the information that they were even gonna be tested on

They thought that they would live out their final days in a comfortable facility basically

Only surprise, injecting Mothman juice

Now you turn into a zombie!

That will fucking explode

There's literally a section of the level where it's just hallways filled with the names of people that have died

[tough haven]

And NOT in the fun way

[opaque coyote]

And there's also an email nearby complaining about how they're running out of space

And how they literally cannot keep up due to how many people have died daily

[tough haven]

Whats even the mission goal

just why the fuck not?

[opaque coyote]

The Mothman Juice is regenerative basically. They managed to control it somewhat using another substance and it regrew an entire person's body

Basically literally just "take down the Illumanti"

And also to help people

Yes everybody genuinely believes they're doing it for the greater good

Tbf a majority of employees are actually unaware

And as soon as everything gets exposed, the majority of shareholders, workers, etc. quit

With only a loyal few fighting back against you

[arctic talon]

Trepang 3 is going to be a city builder or some shit lol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly likely

Sounds fun ngl

[opaque coyote]

Including Executives hopped up on some combat drugs

Who speak like they're cod 12 year olds

And somehow are the most powerful enemies

[opaque coyote]

Also the faction you work for

The Syndicate aka the Illumanti

Is somehow even worse

It's basically the Imperium vs Chaos

And you're part of Chaos

A brainwashed clone weapon

The reason why Horizon is so bad is partially because they literally feel like it's necessary to even get an edge against the Syndicate

Which is wild

Basically Trepang2 is the definition of a metal album made into a game

Rough

Violent

And also hot dogs cost $8 in their universe

I'm not joking

Truly a cruel cruel world

[tough haven]

Alternate universe where the main differing factor is that costco hotdogs dont exist

everything else is a ripple effect from that

[opaque coyote]

Real

[opaque coyote]

Wait not $8

$8.50

$4.50 for a cup of coffee

$12 for a single burger

[tough haven]

Holy shit, america?

I cant believe its real

[opaque coyote]

The scariest part?

Do you wanna know where the Pandora institute is on the map?

Canada

Horrifying

[arctic talon]

That’s irl rn

[opaque coyote]

Depends on the restaurant

But yeah

I think a cup of coffee still costs cents

But only a cup

Not like

Starbucks or whatever

[tough haven]

Almost done writing my latest character's backstory, care to see?

[opaque coyote]

Ye

[tough haven]

++ RESTRICTED ACCESS +++

++ LOADING PERSONAL FILE ++

++ Name : Vander [Noospheric Designation V-Theta-143]

++ Age : 53 [Years since crossing the Crux Mechanicus: 10]

++ Planet of Birth : Avachrus

++ Eye Color : Variable

++ Hair Color : Greying black

++ Occupation : Collegiate Extremis Procurator, Former Private Investigator

++ Current Affiliation : Adeptus Mechanicus, Collegiate Extremis

++ Notable Features : Shaven Left cranium, Minor external cranial augmentation, extensive full body internal augmentation, synthetic dermal shell

++ Known Information : When he was flesh and blood instead of metal and cable Vander was a private investigator at home among the forgotten alleys and plasteel monoliths in the Avachran Hives. He was well liked by the local population of the lower hives as he took cases from any who needed his services regardless of wealth processed.

While investigating a case in the underhive, he came across a young juve outside of a charred hab block. The girl said her name was Elena and that she had come back from the market to find the hab a ruin, and herself the only survivor. Despite dedicating weeks of time and effort, the cause of the blaze was never discovered. Not knowing what else to do, Vander took her in and kept her safe. For several years he protected and provided for the young ward that he had grown attached to as best he could, though he'd never admit it.

Investigating a string of disappearances led Vander to an abandoned forge-complex once used for the manufacture of servitors, following a string of clues had led him to believe that the disappearances were in fact kidnappings, and that the perpetrators were operating out of this facility. Seeing no outward signs of activity, he decided to delve within the structure.

Moving through the dust caked manufactora and silent mechanisms, he found a hidden laboratory with full stasis tanks and gore slicked surgeons tables. Journals of dark revelations and schematics for blasphemous creations were open on workstations, and within the tanks were the missing hivers, or rather what was left of them. Flesh was twisted into bio-mechanical nightmares, limbs were replaced with implements of torture and death, and atop each, a tentacled cybernetic creature with appendages inserted into every facial orifice, the victims faces twisted into silent screams.

Having realized he was far out of his depth, he fled as quickly as possible to his hab to take Elena and report his findings to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Upon arriving to the hab, he found it empty, save for a note with a location to attend and a threat to her life unless instructions are followed. When he arrived at the location, he was immediately set upon by the horrors he uncovered in the manufactorum, with a new addition to their ranks. A creature wearing the face of his surrogate daughter lunged and pursued him through the filth covered tunnels until he was cornered in a dead end. With no options remaining, Vander drew his autopistol, hands shaking, and loosed a salvo, praying to end the torment of what the juve had become. As if his prayers were answered, rounds struck some vital apparatus and the creature fell to the ground, spasming and shrieking until it fell silent. But alas, the others were only just behind. The monstrous beings knocked him to the ground and tore at him with claw, blade and mechadendrite until all that was left was a bloody ruin. His body in agony, his vision fading, his last thought was that of failure.

He awoke in a sterile room, with the remainder of his body strapped to a table, attached to lifesaving devices of every type. Red robed tech priests lean over him, with one rasping in static laced gothic "Surveilance of your activities has led to the discovery, and termination of a rogue element within our ranks, with this in mind, you may be a suitable candidate for service. You will not survive without intervention. Signify assent, or expire." Incapable of speech, he simply nodded his head. "Satisfactory, we may begin. You may suffer discomfort." He knew not how long he was tormented on that table by the martian butchers, but by the end of it there was nearly nothing left of his original corpus.

Now christened in steel and silica, V-Theta-143 is a Procurator, specialized in infiltration and "in plain sight" operations, contracted by the Collegiate Extremis to uncover the Heretek and their creations wherever they may be found. This is a task he is more than willing to perform, to ensure innocents like Elena never suffer at the hands of madmen.

Its pretty ramshackle, I just threw it together in an afternoon

But I think it hits the broad strokes

there was more I wanted to include, like some level of complicity/corruption by officials, but this was already running long, and I can always include that in other bits

[quasi temple]

Whoa

I like it honestly

both as a quarantine zone, and as a work

[winged jacinth]

Protip if you upload a .txt file (which i think you should be able to with image perms) it comes up as a collapsible box

[tough haven]

Ah, oh well

What does the synthetic dermal shell look like?

Is he a Hadron?

Or is the the SM2 tech-priest

[tough haven]

Basically appears as normal skin so long as it’s not under intense scrutiny, but also functions as a bit of protection from attacks

So the only outwardly augments he has are his cranial implants, which look kinda like the implants some of the Rogue Trader CRPG portraits have

All the rest of his gubbins are concealed under the “skin” and can be opened up and extended outwards/revealed when needed

[winged jacinth]

Synthetic dermal shell is basically covering fake skin over metal like the terminator

[tough haven]

Effectively only a few of his organs and his cranium are biological

[tough haven]

Exactly

But I imagine it more like cyberpunk

[winged jacinth]

The terminator has a lot of meat yeah

I kinda suspect skynet shoved a robot in a guys corpse to make arnold

[celest cedar]

chud containment zone is fitting

[tough haven]

Kinda like this

But instead of this, his fingers and hand kinda peel back like fingerless gloves to reveal a chordclaw underneath

As an example

[winged jacinth]

Actually are we sure the original terminator wasnt made from a corpse

[tough haven]

Or mechadendrites might extrude out of his back

[tough haven]

I don’t think it’s manufacture is ever really explained

[winged jacinth]

I guess skynet does seem to like infiltrator type units

But they're not very good

[tough haven]

Which isn’t suspicious on its own, as many non Mechanicus people have such things

Oh yeah, that cranial implant is primarily a memorace/calculus logi implant, allowing for significantly improved deductive capabilities and information processing, and the ability to recall anything perceived with near perfect accuracy

He literally can’t forget anything. Ever.

Trying to decide if he should have an external respirator or anything so I can have that partially mechanical voice

Maybe a tracheal implant allowing him to speak binharic, that’s partially visible

If questioned he could say it was from an injury/chemical inhalation that made him unable to speak until it was added

Apparently there's a poster where it's basically Arasaka posting info about them

"Sensitive electronic device"

But something that I legitimately didn't know is that the diagram implies that you have to change the blade

Considering how it says "quick change"

Also shows how it can tell when you want to extend them. I think the characters often make a tight fist

So likely when you make a really tight fist the additional joints are like

"Deploy mantis blades"

Kinda like how you need to flex a muscle

Since it acts as well... An extra pair of limbs

Along with the synaptic controls

It's likely that you have to think something similar as well

Or even just flex it in a specific way

I can't imagine how annoying it would be if you want to like

Carry heavy boxes

You're helping your choom out with moving a table and then suddenly the fucking blades pop out because the table is heavy even for cybernetics so you strain slightly

[winged jacinth]

I think you flex your wrists inwards too (and presumably your hand has to be empty lol)

[celest dome]

It make more sense to have the blade be able to be changed out rather than needing to hone them and maintain them

[winged jacinth]

The blade is monomolecular iirc so it probably goes relatively blunt very fast

Plus its cyberpunk we love single use disposables

Buy a pistol from a vending machine that can't be reloaded

[arctic talon]

the blades are connected to your mind

[raven stone]

Morning

[dapper gyro]

You change the blades for different abilities like the shock, heat, toxin ones.

[vagrant fox]

The actual blades? Hwatfor?

[arctic talon]

No the entire mechanism

It’s to ensure you don’t deploy them by accident

[vagrant fox]

Makes more sense

I was wondering if it had a module for detecting damage or something

[dapper gyro]

Yes

Btw most of the mechanical stuff are not connected to the brain directly, but to the spine. You can still feel pain if you want to.

2023, hot off the press

[rose thorn]

lol

[storm jungle]

Very fresh reveal news

[jolly summit]

Thanks

My goal is to be timely, not timeless
