Red Corsairs
explictly not marine supremacists
Huron has multiple humans in his inner circle
Not really no
I mean the Nightlords had a ravenguard in their Kyroptera, they still hated ravenguards.
Wheres a viscous nerd argument when you need it im so bored
Huron doesn't hate humans explictly, other marines might but Huron doesn't mind them after getting shot in the face by a melta
lol
huron is a pirate
and a dumb one
"hmm lets attack guy with a melta"

clearly, huron has never played tabletop
Gotta aurafarm sometimes
To he fair, he’d killed the guy with the melta
He just didn’t completely kill him
so none of them is completely dead ?
plot armor at its finest
clearly that's enough even to kill a named spacemarine
What you gonna do, not fight the guy witht a melta trying to kill you?
just far enough from it and use your gun 
sometimes even if it's fun you gotta say no to swashbuckling
nevermind, huron does not appear to be in possession of a gun pre blast
flamer has the same range as a melta
coughing bomb vs hydrogen baby
The battle that followed was swift and bloody, and the Star Phantoms' force was wiped out to an Astartes, but data recovered from the power armour of the slain Star Phantoms and Astral Claws in the combat's aftermath revealed that Captain Androcles was struck down by the Tyrant in the confrontation, who in his arrogance strode over the fallen hero believing him dead.
As his life bled from him, with his dying strength the grimly determined Androcles managed to unleash a melta-blast at point blank range into the Tyrant of Badab, dealing him a mortal blow. The melta-blast struck the arcane Lightning Claw the Tyrant habitually wore, which catastrophically exploded and unleashed a baleful pulse of energy. This blast incinerated the Tyrant's arm and much of his right side, and the remnants of his burning armour collapsing to the ground was the last image recorded by the fallen Star Phantom captain's autosenses.
Its a pretty normal mistake to make
leave my man alone

hes like one of the only few based marines in the setting
I mean in his defense
how was he supposed to get his 40k style hook hand, peg leg and eyepatch without a melta blast 
Yea he simply forgot that Captain Androcles was also a named character, so was allowed his own aura farming moment of defiance before dieing
peak ngl
Mandated loyalist wank
still, if huron had a gun instead of a flamer, maybe he wouldn't have been turned into anger fueled ground beef
Yeah a gun wouldnt have done much against a melta i dont think
melta don't have an exceptional range
why do humans call it a meltagun
Yea if he had a gun he wouldn't have been shot by the guy he thought was dead
sounds like something an ork would call something
even if he was inside a building, he could have stood further
It uses melta ammo
If you go by the old Inquisitor rules, it wasn’t
it melts stuff
just like how krak grenades crack armor
i guess
When I played kt with my bf during my recent trip, I dealt 16 damage with a melta to one of his guys who was only at 3 wounds lmfao😭
Least damaging melta blast
krak is a bit more subtle but melta just sounds silly
Let's not pretend that adeptus astartes arent called space marines
yeah meltaguns are silly op
"subtle"
krak = crack
💀
they're not even hazardous unlike plasmaguns
yeah i dunno about that one
Melta=melt
Eye of Agamoto ahh
Don't krak the grenades guys
Try to stop me
not everybody is as well versed as you all are
plasma guns are also not that dangerous
you have to actively abuse the gun for it to explode
yeah
and no tabletop rolls dont count
thats just RNG for fun
(and explosions ARE pretty funny)
😔

I dont agree with this
Very interesting. Anyway its the case in the lore. Plasma unstableness is memed up.
Friendly reminder to pet your sidearm to make it's machine spirit happy
I always use the overload machine spirit detachement ability with my ad mech so I can use overload without caring about the consequences
I feel like plasma guns in the guard's arensal are poorly designed overused and poorly maintained
They arent
Yes they are
Surely that depends on the regiment?
skitariis are bound to get their ass whipped by a keeper of secrets anyways...
Yeah there is no universal rule for plasma guns
also its the guard, unless your regiment has no techpriests, weapons ESPECIALLY plasma weapons would be well mantained
Theres techpriests who would literally cut your hands off for it as punishment lol
blue plasma guns are cool, but give me the crystals that turn my plasma gun red
Most are professional fighting forces, they’re maintain them pretty well
Some are little more than barbarians given a lasrifle, or they’re badly managed, maybe they wouldn’t
I do my coils yellow to red
I feel like guardsmen would definitely be trained in some minor mechanicus rites so they could achieve the bare minimum of weapon care
I have a question
Thats correct yeah
is there any foot soldier equipped with neutron laser ?
Nope
cause that thing is op
its all lasguns
There’s also stuff built into the guns to make them more reliable
Necromunda has a side blurb in one of the gang war books about how they tend to strip these bits out to make the guns lighter
Yeah even in novels plasma weapons only explode due to overheating from repeated firing
which itself requires like a constant spam of attack
its literally like guns IRL whos barrels will melt if oyu just keep firing it lol
I was assembling a dunecrawler the other day and realised I should have assembled neutron laser instead of phosphor shower gun
and I wondered if there was any infantry sized neutron lasers
Mostly lasguns with the occasional autogun. Plasma pistols and bolt pistols go to the sergeants and higher ranking officers
So in other words misuse of plasma guns are inherently more dangerous than misuse of a regular firearms like I said
No lol
IE plasma guns are dangerous
Lasgun power packs can explode if misused
How could they not be dangerous just conceptually
This is like going
it's not rocket science
"An RPG can explode in your hand thus a rocket launcher is unstable"
like... no shit its unstable if you dont use it correctly or utilize a faulty one lmao
Do stub weapons use the same ammo type as autoguns?
an ogryn can use properly a grenade launcher, if you fail to use a lasgun you are intellectually more challenged than an ogryn
Same as IRL guns
all use bullets but different calibres or whatever
Gotcha, ty
This is basic corpo Health and Safety
If you use the materials correctly they’re not dangerous.
If they are dangerous it’s because you didn’t use them correctly
And thus the company is not liable.
sue adeptus mechanicus
Even the lex talks about the dangers od plasma
do you think they have PSA about plasma in universe ?
Yeah they do, it was parodied awhile back
They can do that with lasguns
Doofus’ are always going to surprise you
Would you not feel more unsafe with a car that includes a PSA that says hey revving the engine too much can cause it to emit a small to massive explosive
Kia soul
Fallout ass car
relatable ngl
succeeding all your BS rolls only to score 1s on the damage rolls
God, imagine being so lame that the blackmail network don’t want you to come to their entrapment party
AND making a car that blows up
LOL
Mad part is, it’s the people who were telling us but blaming their political enemies
As though they’ve not all been sat in the same sauna
so i wasnt that thrilled about it
We're in a 40k novel
A thief thinks everyone steals
Yeah he sent links of 4chan threads of animated fnaf porn to his ex gf
it's so fcking unreal yeah
I wonder if he ever played the games
(Imm too European to know who that guy is sorry)
Epstein created the culture war and /pol after getting banned on Xbox live
yeah
The biggest mistake people make is thinking theres some "deep state" when you can simply just hate the government, there is no secret society, its just rich people hanging out in their mansions and islands laughing at you lol
Epstein and famous billionaire exchanged emails referring to non Jews as cattle and talking about how they manipulate the economy
He got Moot and converted him, and Moot converted /pol/ to be their assets
Mossad agent being a Jewish supremacist, wild
Do people not think billionaires manipulate the economy?
i thought this was like common fact
lol
And if you participate with them, they can blackmail you, keeping you in the circle.
basically yeah
Middle classes think it
And lots of working class too tbf
its why they had Jeff killed
Shush goyim
tho
He and his friends were sending emails like "Only invite Jews. The more Jewish someone is, the smarter they are. Einstein was 98% Jewish thats why he was smart"
he probably already knew he was never gonna make it out of that police station

surely he wouldn't do what he said he would do
I mean the 2a exists for a reason
anyway 300000000000 more aquilas to Planetary Governor Nathanyahosius
glory to the epstein administration
DUDE
HE REALLY DOES SAY THA TSHIT THOUGH
"THE MORTAL REALMS AND THEIR SOULS WERE PROMISED TO ME 1000000000 YEARS AGO"
😭
mossadgash
With that much money, I'd be able to buy TWO whole items from the darktide cosmetic shop! 
kind of
He does now, the ossiarchs have them
you should have switched ur pp for toy bonnie, for no particular reason........
Palicos are cool tho don't worry
They wear robes
unironically im half sure he also said this
the worst thing was the comments in that thead
ppl shittign themselves cuz they had watched and enjoyed the same smut as esptein
it's so fckn funny
deserved tbh
Y'all think Big E visited Epstein's island?
100%
100000%
1pp000000000%
If I know a pervert and trust me I do, he was the biggest pervert of them all
Release the Guilliman files
All jokes aside
I hope guilliman dies
The Emperor is the type to be like
What was really going on in Imperium Secundus
"I enjoyed, partook and gone through every vice humanity had to offer before coming to my conclusions."
Canonically he's a grifter somewhere, somehow so he's probably a podcaster right now
Oh god, he played league of legends
if the emperor was real he'd be the most horrific human being in existence hiding under a palette of gold lol
emp would've been living under the island secretly owning it and using jeff as a figurehead
^
He's running crypto scams
Do we think big E ever watched the sopranos
just like anyone with that much power
@lament shoal
Inquisitor trying to uncover the Guilliman files

I love how this is written like a schizophrenic post lmao
"HES FUCKING GUILTY, I JUST CANT PROVE IT, I NEED LEADS"
-> do horrible shit
-> force into people the imagery of you being an absolute benevolent god
-> death punishement for anyone who dares naysay

dang
I got that reference
if only deathmarks had better aim rolls
I love the Inquisition
tbh
I'll have you know I voted for total annihilation
no shit
We got Doakes in 40k
Genuinely, the Inquisition is the best thing about 40k
it was a guardsman dressed up as a deathamrk
Its hilarious how he had 2 leads and they're just
- One turns out to be a cannibal chaos cult
- The other is a coleague that just yolo's into a genestealer den
He's the MSNBC exec that had the picture edited
I need this
Unironically Doakes is how most Inquisitors act
fox mulder in 40k
Yeah but doakes is charming and also correct
I already said charming and correct
BRUH
Wait is that why I love chaos warriors
chaos bikers lmao
Rannick knows it was my Vet who clogged the Mourningstars toilet, he just cant PROVE it
I'm literally God's biggest shovel knight fan
Comparing shovel Knight to Drakata baby eater is crazy
shovels are kinda gay
This is why I love them!
They’re GW’s best tool because they show the Imperium in the best light
And that doesn’t mean good, I mean the most accurate and almost honest
It’s all those Ogryns confusing everything
Isnt dark heresy inquisition themed?
WHAT
yeah you play as an acolyte
It is yeah
never meet your heroes
Im ngl I didnt really fuck with the rogue trader theme in rogue trader
Yeah I didn’t actually feel like a rouge trader, I felt like an inquisitor
Geriatric bikers for a zoomer discord
It has an amazing dedicated conspiracy wall feature
If we're talking about the CRPG that is
Player what the actual f*** is this
But in a TTRPG that also happens
wdym geriatric 😭
I'm asking myself that exact question!!!
Why is Hitler doing the M Bison
Mother f***** what is going on
Praxis
Okay you know what this guy probably does not read history
Chaos bikers are so old I considered collecting them when I did buy minis
M Bison would 100% rough up some ICE
yeah well I don't recall them getting any new models unfortunately
Mfer YOU are a zoomer
silence zygote
Be quiet wankstain
Nuh uh im gen Z
One day
is that a Starcraft unit
biker minis regardless of the army are dope
good choice, but i prefer drunk driving chaos rhino
Imagine sober driving this motherfucker
‘Is this the turn signal or the flamethrower?!’
Drunk driving a knight would go fuckin hard just saying
The day Doomrider gets a a new model is the true and genuine year of chaos
he's so cool
I should buy a Ridgerunner...
Such a fun model
AND a Goliath truck
Remember your origin, remember your fate...
I wanna drunk drive this fucking thing
I should spoil myself
nah GET YOUSELF A BONEBREAKA
Yes
If you’re in the UK, issues (I think) 69 and 70 of Combat Patrol get a whole Goliath
Yeah technically
killdozer demon engine when
Soon
No I'm one of those lucky escaped colonies, so I'll have to splurge a little
no
look at the color scheme, clearly iron warrior
You are dust to me
i cast SPEND 50 DAYS IN GENERAL
That could be Imperial Fist
Please.....
Imperial Fiat
Thought I was quick
imperial fists drive 500s confirmed
for a second i thought the gretchen was shooting the bird lol
I wonder what they think about
Who's winning, a single Clone Commando, a single Tempestus Scion, or a single Helldiver?
Can I get a real answer?
You think a Noise Marine would pop open a Rubric Marine like a can and smoke the dust?
depends if i'm playing the helldiver
So I wondered how exactly terminators teleport around and apparently they need a Teleport Homer that acts as a beacon
but without it could they still teleport or nah?
If unnamed/random Clone vs random Scion
I was referring to a clone commando.
Yes but would be much more dangerous due to being less able to pin point their destination
Scion and Commando depending on whos writing the story.
Both are basically on the exact same level
A helldiver is literally a expendable teenager
So shorter jumps could be made, longer ones would be too dangerous
one of them would snap his or her neck then get to brawling
you're pitching equally powerful units against eachother idk what kind of answer you expect other than "it depends"
Scions imo
so pretty much a blind dive into the warp
whethever they land on they gotta roll with it
My money on the commando. They're the only one with genetic modification.
Scions can have augmentation
Commando would likely with some percentage come out ontop yeah
but it would be a close fight
I don't remember how the Terminator teleport work, don't think it's Warp based
Hmm true
From what it is written on the wiki it is
I still lean on "whoever the writer wants to win" but I wont argue against a Clone W lol
it's ok new zealanders are pacifists irl so the clone loses
"A Teleport Homer transmits a special signal that suits of Terminator Armour can lock onto to allow their users to teleport to a given location through the Immaterium with great accuracy by using teleporter technology located at the point of origin, usually called a teleportarium in High Gothic. "
Helldivers meanwhile are EXTREMELY overhyped
the fandom also is on copium not wanting to accept they are expendible teenagers
does the helldiver have a meta weapon
John Grammaticus could kill 20
calls in an orbital laser on the two others
I think if given the chance a bison could kill a Helldiver.
if it kills my teamates then it can kill two clowns
tbh
see Terminid charger
True.
Yeah but your teammates are braindead
you're a woman
checkmate
Pink Horror vs Space Wolf battle
Jedi vs. Scholastica trained Psyker, who wins?
Horrors are very OP when not written by biased authors
Jedi
Fair enough.
psykers are literally just barely alive tortured wizards
jedi are wizards with proper untapped psychic abilities
I know, thats why you beat jay
I suppose vs. an Eldar would be a more fair fight.
It depends on how you scale Star Wars blasters, which are basically all plasma-based
You know
I had thought that they were above the SEAF, that’s why the SEAF venerate them
But then if the SEAF see them as martyrs for the course, that’s a very different kind of veneration
jedi powers suck ass compared to the insane shit psykers can do
SEAF venerate them beacuse Super Earth spends tons of resources propagandizing Helldivers.
Most divers dont survive their first dive
Scholastica good dog psykers
Not our based lads
they are overhyped special forces whos entire job is to call in orbital attacks
Like remember they are so expendable whoever Diver survives an engagement is the new leader of a super-destroyer lol
I dunno, I’m a fan of the idea that everyone is aware that the Helldivers are just Kamikaze troopers, whereas the Helldivers and Super Earth push the narrative that it’s because they’re awesome
I mean thats literally the exact same thing.
thats what i just said
lol
Helldivers are overhyped in and out of universe by the fandom because they dont wanna accept they are cannon-fodder.
the tutorial essentially sums up how worthless the life of a single helldiver is.
(which also pisses people off lmao)
Their entire job is to sit in cryostasis before being thawed out to do and toss a stratagem somewhere.
super earth would win by building a giant super destroyer and ramming it into planets
Abaddon?
perhaps...
aren't helldivers cloned more or less infinitely
i keep hearing it
its bullshit
Why couldn’t they just drop strategem beacons then?
heres the older CEO confirming it
you need symbolic martyrs
and fascists are stupid
this is why my heavy is an iron hand
iron hands are based gigachads
kill civilians
Also you need Divers as an element to secure and do objectives
artillery needs spotters, helldivers are basically just that
^
helldivers lore be like a quote tweet from the arrowhead CEO
they have an absurd degree of freedom to direct their superdestroyers though
It has a lot of lore
you guys just dont read any of it
lol
I mean no?
you are trapped inside a single mission area
True, and if people really think they’re so elite, why do they have 20 on standby, not to send in immediately, but to slowly send them one at a time to maximize profits
and are forced to pick only 4 options of orbitals
their "freedom" goes as far as the mission allows
no i mean for where you want to deploy it, like what battlefield
I mean yeah?
the helldivers community afaik
killing enemies of democracy is killing enemies of democracy
it all at the end of the day adds to something
i aint fighting you i'm just saying most soldiers don't get to pick where they want to go that day
I know you arent im just saying lol
it's weird!
Arrowhead has commented on it and said its not true iirc, never stops the theory crafters ofc
Me marking myself as a traitor so super earth will fire bombardments on my position and clear the enemies
Actually good strategy
It also doesnt really matter because just like a real war while you might be posting yourself on some uncharged/unmanned warzone the big armada of players and helldivers are focusing on a major offensive somewhere else
super earth has tons of bodies to spare
also hearing americans pronounce pilestedt like the pile in pile bunker is very funny
sadly that got patched, it will now kill you in the first shot even in the car
Cause if you turn 90 degrees every few seconds you’re safe
Oh really?
They always had them
no they didn't
never saw any
Super earth can’t send 2 bombardments in 4 minutes for me, but can send an infinite bombardment to kill one “traitor”
yup
i haven't really played helldivers since they talked about using ai for shit
Same
they did?
they arent using AI for anything
what
theres a literal interaction in the game mocking AI art
one of their voice actors on the ship literally was allowed to quit her role to protest AI usage
Arrowhead would never stoop so low.
why you acting like it's a respectable company
Im not
not you
gay ass 
I don’t play helldivers cause my friends don’t play it anymore and online it’s kinda boring
remove my favorite cape dilara
Because they gave me a teleport pack and that makes me happy
they find the idea of artists "owning" something they made abhorrent
you do not deserve to wear it
i have 0 bug kills
i only play bots
played squids to defend super earth
But it sounds cool

Same
You should log in to play once in awhile tbh
its what I do
like 3 missions a day once in awhile if im bored
Games so fucking big though
Oh good
here I am again
yeah they literally cut it's memory
Yeah it's only big if you're old and use a HDD
arrowhead would
180 iirc, just shy of the 200 gig mark
who uses hard drives for gaming in the year of our lord 2026
Fall of Shitreus and the Obelisk are such shit maps man
Imma be real the Arc Raiders thing is the most nothing thing ever
the middle ground is my foot up their ass
it's gross, it's all built on theft, i don't like it and people talking about how maybe just a little bit of the industrial theft machine might be fine, i find very gross
their other game also uses the same AI voice overs and never got the level of flak arc raiders did
idc about the quality much, i mostly care about the theft
artists and actors rights and shit
so its nothing to me
Im sure they'll get their money's worth with protests or something
Yeah that too
i legit just dont care
poke me when they actually attempt to make entire games with AI voiced story characters or something.
with Arc it goes as far as uh
"OVER THERE"
"ROBOT"
"NORTH"
"SOUTHEAST"
"BIG ROBOT"
"THANKS"
"I HAVE A LEMON"
Doesn't help that this is the average teammate on aligning the islands
YEP
Im gonna be real when the alignment thing happens i just sit in a corner and wait
I've been alt tabbed since I posted the image and it's still spinning
dont get me wrong i hate generative AI for many reasons, but i also hate it when people are "selective" with calling stuff out, makes it feel fake and just bandwagony
Im kinda tired of hearing about AI at this point tbh
AI my entire life
AI my mom
If the VAs OK'ed the AI thing it's very whatever to me, I'd prefer if they didn't but w/e
didn't a recent cod try that
It's a shitty overhyped tool
Yeah but lets be fair cod has always been dogshit lately
i think the most hilarious ones are CGI'd dead actors
the good thing is the AI hype is literally just .com 2.0 so 99% of it will fail and the world will move on with thatever AI stuff survives just like the internet did
i've never played them, sauceless american military propaganda
people act like its the most immoral thing when their family's okay it because they dont care and just want money
there is nothing for me in the cods
and ill be fully honest if thye wanted to CGI me id check it off too
id rather my family is supplied well lol
idgaf about computer model morals

Play them until Black Ops 2 then stop, from there its all downhill
the american economy is about to have a bad time for a number of reasons (trump), but also because the nvidia-openai circlejerk is about to collapse
damn I can play the game again, great map
Stellaris has a character thats AI-voiced and they did it by hiring a Voice Actress to train an AI off of her (The character is a Synthetic) 
they also use ai for concept art
About ? 
Sex?
a WORSE time, then
also when people talk about training an ai on a voice actor or their own art or whatever they are full of shit, a single person can't produce enough to train a model, what they're talking about is taking a pre-existing model and teaching it to sound like or look like a specific thing
nah all the "characters" are just 2d images
which means it's still running on the industrial theft machine
AWOOGA
There's like 50 million mods that turn this game into "systemtic societal kink simulator"
anyway even if stellaris didn't use AI i think i still woulda fallen off of it, that paradox dlc model is fucked up
you miss a couple updates and suddenly it's like a hundred dollars to get back in, or you're playing a lobotomized version of the game
yeah well im not a pathetic enough gooner to use stuff like that in a sci fi 4x strat game lmao
coward
i am, but it's hot b/c i'm a girl
I just acquire the DLC by other means these days, I'm not paying ten million robux to play a full game
Pathetic enough gooner
So you ARE a pathetic gooner...
ofc, im a man on the internet
can't wait for EU5 to be finished next spring
fucking Paradox and their near train sim levels of dlc
also i think they revamped the entire population mechanic again in 2025
they did
and i don't think they made it run any better
The difference between Stellaris and other Paradox games is that for the past 2+ years every other Paradox DLC is "Base game feature" and Stellaris is "New concept", at the LEAST Although apparently Stellaris is where all the young devs start and all the other games are the oldheads
In a weird way, it got better per-planet and worse on the galactic scale 
isn't much of the diplomacy locked behind dlc in stellaris
I think they're working on ships next, since thats the big source of it. Ships are getting more expensive, and equally as better so they're quality over quantity
Stellaris use to be the same way, many of the original dlcs are still in the negative review scores because of that
Hence why I specified the more recent ones, yeah
And honestly this game feels unplayable without the classic Apicalypse-Utopia-Megacorp big 3
yeah
They're also the only game I have ever seen that went back and added to DLCs
Species packs got extra content
It's certainly better
The only reason at all I would want CK3
Is AGOT2
My friend worked on that mod actually 
But I am owned by this stupid book series
asoiaf kinda sucks :)
I liked the first three books, can't say I liked the rest
i must have liked them at some point because i've read all of them
but my lasting impression is a world of fuss and misery where nothing good ever happens
and also wow did you really have to go into so much detail about that woman shitting herself
Planetos is a stage for the characters the entire setting is just for the plot
saying this in a 40k discord is kinda funny
The world book sucks becaause that + GRRM didnt write it
i haven't read any world book
like i'm glad asoiaf broke the fantasy genre out of its tolkien rut but man it sucks to read
Literally just real life
I don't mind a setting where nothing good ever happens, it's big fun
ASOIAF was just boring to me
just read the first law and have fun 4head
ASOIAF?
a song of ice and fire
A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones
aka game of thrones
no robots
oh right
its basically said more in the line of the entire verse itself
I love fantasy UK and child labour factories
because people mostly dont know theres an entire universe/past to GoT
(arguably even more interesting than the current timeline the show explored)
so literally just Victorian UK with dragons?
Nah
Westeros is more unique than that
along with the rest of the world
its great if you like medieval fiction with fantasy elements in general
i really would have liked it if the fantasy elements got a bit more love
I mean they do
its more that by the time of the show itself the entire point is that part of the world/magic is dying.
its why the past GoT is way better imo
also more goofy and funny
(a lot like real medieval history lol)
i haven't watched the show, just read the books
the show follows the books i thought
They caught up
after they ran out of material it spiraled as you know, then uhh blew up to disaster
so they could go make the flop that is the new star wars trilogy lol
but yeah the show's final season was one of the most infamous events in television history from how fucking hard it broke the media/internet
yeah i listened to other people experience it
Yeah same
nothing to be smug about
everyone knew it was gonna end badly
they just had no idea how bad
Sure GoT is if you'll believe me
First Law has the child labour factories
lmao
ngl i dont think i had ever even heard of GOT till that shitshow blew up
Okay no offense but thats a very "living under a rock" moment
GoT dominated most of TV during its runtime
it was huge
^
shouts out to westeros starbucks
when it comes to tv and movies i very much do live under a rock so no offence taken
You couldnt go ANYWHERE without Eddard telling you things are coming
SHE
IS MY QUEEN
markipliers movie is coming out this week right?
Nah it was fine, even if i wasnt a huge fan of some of the skipped elements
I was half heartedly watching it without much interest until I heard "you want the good girl but you need the bad pussy"
I'm so glad I didn't see the last parts
yeah that season is when everyone realised with that line things were going bad the moment they ran out of books
that was basically what made it horrible
it wasnt an instant drop
it was a gradual decay
it was so fucking horrid lmao
They cut Jon yearning for Winterfell and all those omplications. But to be fair, Jon chapters are 80% Jon just thinking and brooding so unless they had some Goodfellas narration from Jon at all times it would be 40 minutes of Kit Harrington brooding
Basicall yeah lmao
the books have tons of inner monologuing
good thing Red Rising and/or First Law will never get a TV adaptation I can live safely in my castle of smug isolation
Also they FUCKED up literally EVERYONES arcs by cutting out one (1) character
Patchface?
who'd they cut?
Stoneheart wasn't in the show was she?
Aegon 
She was not, nope
don't do this
apropos of novels that i think are kinda interesting, i've been re-reading the expanse
Faegon invading is the catalyst and setup for like everyones endgame arc and they just cut him. You can find forums from like 2015 being like "Wait how are they gonna do this without him???"
and man they shoulda red some marx before they wrote those novels
And Tyrion became a goody two-shoes as opposed to his actual self
cause them trying to invent marxism from first principles is a real fumble
its INSANE how fucking awful book tyrion is post-kingslanding
lmao
im so glad AltShift made that video
peopel really had no idea
holy hell Tyrions and the cripple boys chapters were so godass boring to me
they were fun
looking forward to Owlcat's expanse game
you just cannot read
that's a hell of a thing to call someone lmao
I read bigly good
you watch thorhighheels
I've forgotten a good bit but in my memory I can summarize all of cripple boys chapters as waa it's cold and I'm riding a genuine idiot until they get to that place
i (conditionally) support womens wrongs
This is a youtuber?
lmao i just realised
"crippleboy"
ah, i whiffed
thogg don't care
shut up
I shan't
yeah thorhighheels is a good youtuber, v fun, only human on the planet i've heard use the term "bigly" with any regularity
entirely correct
wtf does "bigly" even mean
it's like hugely but big
biggest
Uge
Big' Un
yea bigly
BRUH
He is funny I just hated his boat and chess arc
There should be somekind of a device to make authors write faster
i remember one of the novels was about like
what all the side characters were up to
and overwhelmingly i just remember old man and pudgy kid on a shitty boat for a LONG time
George's issue is he makes his novels too realistic where every single character has understandable wants, motivations and needs.
like that would be fine but holy fuck it extends the novels and arcs SO much
he's kinda a nothing can happen off screen type of writer
Merett Freys inner monologue is recounting his entire life up to that point every 15 minutes
I feel like Joe Abercrombie does it better but that's personal taste
Lmao yeah
except when he's trying to "subvert expectations"
Yeah it's great
the stark kid, what's his name, who fucks up the arranged marriage
he just disappears from the story until it's time for him to die
In this house we point and laugh at Rhaegar 
Man I wanna reread some books now
i mean it's good that we didn't have to read three thousand pages of him falling for a girl and making dumb decisions
bro
you dont remember Robb's name?

I DON'T REMEMBER SHIT
also he doesnt "disappear"
we get tons of chapters with him
especially showing us how he got himself and half his family killed
fucking moron

idk i don't remember it so it probably isn't real
i just remember him showing up with the wrong wife
🍄🟫
outta nowhere
I've lost people before but never "HOLY SHIT I'M GRIEVING SO HARD I NEED TO GET LAAAAAAID" sad, what was up with that boy?
That's just how new jerseyites mourn
The greatest court fool of all time, accused everyone of 7 sex scandals including himself
but also like, i don't think expectations were being that subverted after the red wedding?
They were tbh
but the Red Wedding was THE most shocking thing in TV and still is at the time
because so many characters get killed and its a total "out of nowhere" thing for most folks until you realise why it even happened
For TVslop yeah
be quiet zoomer
you're younger than me you should respect your elders
i also remember complaining that i lost interest in asoiaf because the interesting characters kept dying but i can't remember who any of those were so they can't have been that interesting
Nah most of the interesting cast was pretty much alive
everyone knew Jon would come back to life too
i think jon is kinda boring honestly
and him coming back to life was like
TV Jon is but Book Jon is hilarious
now he's just cleanly slotting into a trope
like what are you gonna do with him now, kill him again?
He's a really shitty and boring Aragorn it's true
at some point someone has to be a fantasy protagonist or the whole edifice is gonna come apart
We literally got no idea because hes still dead in the books
amazing progress as usual George
Its not really fucking around
its more just him being distracted with his own homebrew
ironically thats how you know hes a proper nerd
lmao
Him stopping to fuck around with Elden Snooze is fucking around ok 🤓
the guys who fucked up the tv show just genuinely guessed where the plot was going, so now george is sitting there looking at the entire world dunking on the plot he had in his head
he's cooked
He said himself he doesnt care
he wont chagne the ending just because someone else fucked it up
also they didnt "guess"
George literally told them lol
didn't he pick them because they figured it out
It's ok I just need Joe Abercrombie and Pierce Brown to hustle the fuck up so I can read complete cinema the got ending can suck beans
Nah
He basically gave them "rough notes"
its why the execution in general was so bad
well either way that book is never getting finished
Nah it will
the last one tho never will
he likely said he'll get someone else to finish it once he dies
He said he's halfway or something recently, surely in like 4-5 years it's finished
Yeah Winds will get finished, Dream of Spring tho never will essentially
It's faster than fuckass Rothfuss
dw Brandon Sanderson will finish it
He constantly goes between
Ill finish it
I give up
Maybe ill finish it
Nah I cant finish it
Ill probably do it
fat lazy fuck lol
That's funny
its not tbh
its genuinely sad
especially if you read the way he speaks

like you can tell his moral side WANTS to do it but hes also just so fucking lazy and easily distracted, i get why most people dont blame him
it's funny to me because i kinda dislike him
i don't have a rational reason
I find it funny because I'm the same about my personal stuff
i just do
Yeah thats what gets me
like-
i write a 40k homebrew
and go "okay I WILL finish this"
constantly gets distracted by side fluff/writings
barely touches it for months
thats prob THE worst part of creative writing
finishing is the worst part
YEP
I'll start, work on it, hate it, delete it, start over, stop for months, start over
^
house of many doors type deal
As much as people mock George he basically represents all of us who do homebrew/universe building or any sort of writing.
I've mapped this gayass sector like six times and deleted it six times
SAME
you have to finish your magnum opus, which starts at 90% done, and every time you work on it the percentage goes DOWN
I literally just yesterday spent 3 hours renaming most of my systems in my sector because i just didnt like the way they sounded
the human brain is its own worst enemy
"Right, I've got a lot of time and I'm excited to work on it"
Looks at how much I have to do
My will to do it:
REAL
Easier to watch Sopranos instead, it's quite good for your information
ironically lol
Why would I complete something I enjoy when I could just play League and get unreasonably angry
You could gamble instead
You can gamble on league
Why does the guy have a goatse on the left
Because when ever someone draws slaansh fanart they have a mental break and draw insanity
Built different
I remember with the EC reveal there was a subset of the internet who was annoyed that EC wasn’t horny enough
But like, they never really have been outside of demons? AOS Slaanesh is very horny and I guess people assumed 40k’s would be too
I mean they have gotten a little freaky at times but that was more 30k and Watson stuff
EC are mostly crackheads and body horror now
Drugs rock and roll and mild hellraiser, purgatorystayer if you would
Yup
I'm going to my shift at the Necromundan Crushing Machine, anyone want anything?
uhh pizza
What kind?
Whichever has the most onions
Logged, I will be back in a few hours.
save me the legs they taste good
Logged.
Extra crispy corpse starch please
I’ll have two bolters, a flamer, a combat knife with extra bleed, a shotgun, two lasguns, one with bayonet, and a heavy stubber
Logged.
Logged.
The special doom for george was his series blowing up massively before all the groundwork was layed out for the ending i think
Suddenly hes working on an outline with millions of people who saw the show waiting for a better ending lol
People also forget that during covid he was losing a lifelong author friend like, weekly and dealing with the backlash from S8 still.
And people still bully him about how he's old and gonna die any day now
I'd be a bit rude in my blogs too lole
i hate it
tbh i was just reading this an hour ago
Ive legit lost like all faith in this man i think lmao
its hilarious because he just doesnt want any sort of help with the books he writes due to a self-admitted ego/pride problem and just does nothing but wallow for 15 years just to write 1100 pages
fuck me hes so lost lmao
I forgot he released the second to last book when the show was on like s2 or whatever lol
To be honest though, as an epic fantasy reader and semiprofessional hater
Not that good of a series
Nah its a great series.
theres a reason it grabbed people like a storm
George just cannot admit hes retired and cannot finish the books lmao
Its accessible and got an hbo show with sex in it
I know that's implied by hbo show
also "accessible"
Most people I know wouldnt even make it past the first chapter
elitist ahh
Speaking of Dune i liek dune mor
Sorry gorg
Dune is good because you can dorp it after like Book 2 or 3 and be satisfied
Martin comparing himself to that is hilarious to me
Its accessible because of the tv show
Ill agree the books are not accessible
George has spent the last 15 years carefully redesigning all the meals in the book
Nah hes just a distracted old fuck
he also has made a book thats beyond his control tbh
guy cannot commit to anything
My main gripe is that the world has like 5 places in it, europe, europe (minor), europe (cold), the middle east, and the steppes
And they've all got like 1-2 locations of note
