Wheres a viscous nerd argument when you need it im so bored

huron is a pirate

#

and a dumb one

#

"hmm lets attack guy with a melta"

#

clearly, huron has never played tabletop

Gotta aurafarm sometimes

wary fulcrum

#

so none of them is completely dead ?

#

plot armor at its finest

#

clearly that's enough even to kill a named spacemarine

rocky gale
#

What you gonna do, not fight the guy witht a melta trying to kill you?

solid horizon
#

just far enough from it and use your gun KEKW_ogryn

#

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

solid horizon
#

I mean in his defense

#

how was he supposed to get his 40k style hook hand, peg leg and eyepatch without a melta blast KEKW_ogryn

rocky gale
#

Yea he simply forgot that Captain Androcles was also a named character, so was allowed his own aura farming moment of defiance before dieing

still, if huron had a gun instead of a flamer, maybe he wouldn't have been turned into anger fueled ground beef

storm jungle
#

Yeah a gun wouldnt have done much against a melta i dont think

solid horizon
#

melta don't have an exceptional range

eager agate
#

why do humans call it a meltagun

rocky gale
#

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

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

I feel like plasma guns in the guard's arensal are poorly designed overused and poorly maintained

storm jungle
#

They arent

surreal nest
#

Yes they are

wary fulcrum
#

Surely that depends on the regiment?

solid horizon
storm jungle
#

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

I have a question

solid horizon
#

is there any foot soldier equipped with neutron laser ?

storm jungle
#

Nope

solid horizon
#

cause that thing is op

storm jungle
#

its all lasguns

wary fulcrum
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

solid horizon
#

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

IE plasma guns are dangerous

just load your plasma gun correctly

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

lament shoal
#

Do stub weapons use the same ammo type as autoguns?

solid horizon
#

an ogryn can use properly a grenade launcher, if you fail to use a lasgun you are intellectually more challenged than an ogryn

storm jungle
#

all use bullets but different calibres or whatever

lament shoal
#

Gotcha, ty

wary fulcrum
#

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.

Probably the Scion

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.

celest dome

Both are basically on the exact same level

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

vagrant fox
#

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) NazrinHappi

urban spire
#

they also use ai for concept art

urban spire
heady rivet
urban spire
#

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

plush mason
urban spire
#

which means it's still running on the industrial theft machine

storm jungle
heady rivet
urban spire
#

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

plush mason
vagrant fox
#

coward

urban spire
vagrant fox
#

I just acquire the DLC by other means these days, I'm not paying ten million robux to play a full game

heady rivet
plush mason
#

ofc, im a man on the internet

vagrant fox
#

can't wait for EU5 to be finished next spring

plush mason
urban spire
#

also i think they revamped the entire population mechanic again in 2025

plush mason
#

they did

urban spire
#

and i don't think they made it run any better

plush mason
#

ofc not

#

its a Paradox game

heady rivet
#

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

heady rivet
urban spire
#

isn't much of the diplomacy locked behind dlc in stellaris

heady rivet
#

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

plush mason
heady rivet
heady rivet
urban spire
#

yeah

heady rivet
#

They're also the only game I have ever seen that went back and added to DLCs

#

Species packs got extra content

urban spire
#

yeah that was cool of them

#

i wonder if ck3 is good yet

vagrant fox
#

It's certainly better

heady rivet
#

The only reason at all I would want CK3

#

Is AGOT2

#

My friend worked on that mod actually NazrinHappi

#

But I am owned by this stupid book series

urban spire
#

asoiaf kinda sucks :)

vagrant fox
#

I liked the first three books, can't say I liked the rest

urban spire
#

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

heady rivet
urban spire
heady rivet
#

The world book sucks becaause that + GRRM didnt write it

urban spire
#

i haven't read any world book

urban spire
#

like i'm glad asoiaf broke the fantasy genre out of its tolkien rut but man it sucks to read

vagrant fox
#

I don't mind a setting where nothing good ever happens, it's big fun

#

ASOIAF was just boring to me

storm jungle
#

ASOIAF is great

vagrant fox
#

just read the first law and have fun 4head

storm jungle
#

👎

#

no robots allowed

plush mason
#

ASOIAF?

urban spire
#

a song of ice and fire

storm jungle
#

A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones

urban spire
#

aka game of thrones

vagrant fox
#

no robots

plush mason
#

oh right

storm jungle
#

its basically said more in the line of the entire verse itself

vagrant fox
#

I love fantasy UK and child labour factories

storm jungle
#

because people mostly dont know theres an entire universe/past to GoT

#

(arguably even more interesting than the current timeline the show explored)

plush mason
storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

i really would have liked it if the fantasy elements got a bit more love

storm jungle
#

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)

urban spire
#

i haven't watched the show, just read the books

#

the show follows the books i thought

storm jungle
#

it did

#

once

heady rivet
#

They caught up

storm jungle
#

after they ran out of material it spiraled as you know, then uhh blew up to disaster

heady rivet
#

And then

#

Speedran the ending

plush mason
#

so they could go make the flop that is the new star wars trilogy lol

storm jungle
#

and then never even did

plush mason
#

oh right

#

shit is too damn funny

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

yeah i listened to other people experience it

storm jungle
#

Yeah same

urban spire
#

i was so smug

#

i was SO smug

storm jungle
#

nothing to be smug about

#

everyone knew it was gonna end badly

#

they just had no idea how bad

vagrant fox
storm jungle
#

lmao

plush mason
storm jungle
#

GoT dominated most of TV during its runtime

#

it was huge

vagrant fox
#

That shit was everywhere you couldn't escape it

#

How'd you do that

storm jungle

urban spire
#

shouts out to westeros starbucks

when it comes to tv and movies i very much do live under a rock so no offence taken

heady rivet
urban spire
#

markipliers movie is coming out this week right?

heady rivet
#

Honestly the issues were as far back as Season 1 tbh

#

In some areas

storm jungle
#

Nah it was fine, even if i wasnt a huge fan of some of the skipped elements

vagrant fox
storm jungle
#

that was basically what made it horrible

#

it wasnt an instant drop

#

it was a gradual decay

#

it was so fucking horrid lmao

heady rivet
storm jungle
#

the books have tons of inner monologuing

vagrant fox
#

good thing Red Rising and/or First Law will never get a TV adaptation I can live safely in my castle of smug isolation

heady rivet
#

Also they FUCKED up literally EVERYONES arcs by cutting out one (1) character

storm jungle
#

Patchface?

urban spire
#

who'd they cut?

vagrant fox
#

Stoneheart wasn't in the show was she?

apropos of novels that i think are kinda interesting, i've been re-reading the expanse

heady rivet
urban spire
#

and man they shoulda red some marx before they wrote those novels

heady rivet
#

And Tyrion became a goody two-shoes as opposed to his actual self

urban spire
#

cause them trying to invent marxism from first principles is a real fumble

storm jungle
#

its INSANE how fucking awful book tyrion is post-kingslanding

#

lmao

#

im so glad AltShift made that video

#

peopel really had no idea

vagrant fox
#

holy hell Tyrions and the cripple boys chapters were so godass boring to me

storm jungle

they were fun

plush mason

you just cannot read

that's a hell of a thing to call someone lmao

vagrant fox

I read bigly good

urban spire

you watch thorhighheels

vagrant fox

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

yeah thorhighheels is a good youtuber, v fun, only human on the planet i've heard use the term "bigly" with any regularity

storm jungle
vagrant fox
#

He is funny I just hated his boat and chess arc

#

There should be somekind of a device to make authors write faster

urban spire
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

he's kinda a nothing can happen off screen type of writer

heady rivet
vagrant fox
#

I feel like Joe Abercrombie does it better but that's personal taste

urban spire
#

except when he's trying to "subvert expectations"

storm jungle
#

I mean those work usually too

#

i love the unceremonious deaths/stuff in GoT lol

vagrant fox
#

Yeah it's great

urban spire
#

the stark kid, what's his name, who fucks up the arranged marriage

urban spire
#

he just disappears from the story until it's time for him to die

heady rivet
#

In this house we point and laugh at Rhaegar RaoraPointLaugh

vagrant fox
#

Man I wanna reread some books now

urban spire
#

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

storm jungle
#

you dont remember Robb's name?

urban spire
#

I DON'T REMEMBER SHIT

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

idk i don't remember it so it probably isn't real

storm jungle
#

fucked up but i respect it

#

shroomie mindset

urban spire
#

i just remember him showing up with the wrong wife

storm jungle

urban spire
#

outta nowhere

heady rivet
#

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?

vagrant fox
#

That's just how new jerseyites mourn

heady rivet
urban spire
#

but also like, i don't think expectations were being that subverted after the red wedding?

storm jungle
#

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

vagrant fox
#

For TVslop yeah

storm jungle
#

be quiet zoomer

vagrant fox
#

you're younger than me you should respect your elders

urban spire
#

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

storm jungle
#

Nah most of the interesting cast was pretty much alive

#

everyone knew Jon would come back to life too

urban spire
#

i think jon is kinda boring honestly

storm jungle
#

He is

#

lmao

#

as Ygritte put it

#

hes just a white boy from the south

urban spire
#

and him coming back to life was like

heady rivet
#

TV Jon is but Book Jon is hilarious

urban spire
#

now he's just cleanly slotting into a trope

#

like what are you gonna do with him now, kill him again?

vagrant fox
#

He's a really shitty and boring Aragorn it's true

urban spire
#

at some point someone has to be a fantasy protagonist or the whole edifice is gonna come apart

storm jungle
#

We literally got no idea because hes still dead in the books

#

amazing progress as usual George

vagrant fox
#

I get it, I'd fuck around too if I were him

#

but, get moving george

storm jungle
#

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

vagrant fox
#

Him stopping to fuck around with Elden Snooze is fucking around ok 🤓

storm jungle
#

That was like 20 years ago

urban spire
#

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

vagrant fox
#

like

#

3

urban spire
#

he's cooked

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

didn't he pick them because they figured it out

vagrant fox
#

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

storm jungle
#

Nah

#

He basically gave them "rough notes"

#

its why the execution in general was so bad

urban spire
#

well either way that book is never getting finished

storm jungle
#

Nah it will

#

the last one tho never will

#

he likely said he'll get someone else to finish it once he dies

vagrant fox
#

He said he's halfway or something recently, surely in like 4-5 years it's finished

storm jungle
#

Yeah Winds will get finished, Dream of Spring tho never will essentially

vagrant fox
#

It's faster than fuckass Rothfuss

urban spire
vagrant fox
#

dw Brandon Sanderson will finish it

urban spire
#

lmao

#

i love that joke

storm jungle
#

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

vagrant fox
#

That's funny

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

it's funny to me because i kinda dislike him

storm jungle
#

Why lol

#

hes just a chubby old man

urban spire
#

i don't have a rational reason

vagrant fox
#

I find it funny because I'm the same about my personal stuff

urban spire
#

i just do

storm jungle
#

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

urban spire
#

finishing is the worst part

storm jungle
#

YEP

I'll start, work on it, hate it, delete it, start over, stop for months, start over

As much as people mock George he basically represents all of us who do homebrew/universe building or any sort of writing.

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

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

Suddenly hes working on an outline with millions of people who saw the show waiting for a better ending lol

heady rivet
#

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

plush mason
storm jungle
#

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

winged jacinth
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

winged jacinth
#

Its accessible and got an hbo show with sex in it

storm jungle
#

"sex in it"

#

yeah uh i hate to break it to you

winged jacinth
#

I know that's implied by hbo show

storm jungle
#

also "accessible"

Most people I know wouldnt even make it past the first chapter

#

elitist ahh

fervent geode

Sorry gorg

storm jungle
#

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

winged jacinth
#

Its accessible because of the tv show
Ill agree the books are not accessible

storm jungle
#

Its very much not

#

the novels are WAY more complex and divergent

winged jacinth
#

George has spent the last 15 years carefully redesigning all the meals in the book

storm jungle
#

Nah hes just a distracted old fuck

#

he also has made a book thats beyond his control tbh

#

guy cannot commit to anything

winged jacinth
#

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

I dont think that really matters

#

as long as the locations are interesting most people dont care
