#

Yeah it is, even has the fucked up creepy camera angles and odd shooting style.

languid meadow
#

Wicked

#

I loved that about the og

#

The bridge shot

#

God

storm jungle
#

Same its all here

#

wide shots, camera locked onto the movement of someones head, gross ass closeups, tense tracking shots, ETC

#

thats what i meant with the "strangeness" of it, its not shot in a way you'd see most movies be made in

hollow lantern
#

I love artistic shooting tbh

storm jungle
#

Same.

hollow lantern
#

Adds personality

storm jungle
#

Yeah also for 28 it makes everything feel otherwordly, the infected especially

hollow lantern
#

Good

#

Yk what movie I like a lot?

#

Mandy

spring cairn
#

it's so good for that

#

would've been less memorable if not

storm jungle
#

shots like this are what makes the movie memorable, like hell nah bruh

storm jungle
vagrant fox
#

I liked about 50% of the first 28 years later but I'm mostly positive about Bone Temple

#

It's quite interesting

storm jungle
#

Yeah its a lot better in some regards imo

spring cairn
#

i haven't watchd years but i watched temple

storm jungle
#

they arent that connected i dont think?

spring cairn
#

so i wouldn know

hollow lantern
vagrant fox
#

It's a bit connected

spring cairn
#

guys it's connected..

vagrant fox
#

just a bit

spring cairn
#

it's in the same universe..

vagrant fox
#

doubt that

storm jungle
spring cairn
#

i have my sourcez

languid meadow
#

Listen weeks was shit

#

But holy fuck

#

The dread of the intro

#

Is unmatched

spring cairn
#

the intro is legendary

storm jungle
#

to be fair

languid meadow
#

The music and her getting yoinked in the window

storm jungle
#

the intro was literally fucking made by the director of the first movie just for that segment LMAO

tough haven
#

What do admech generally believe happens when someone dies?

spring cairn
#

go watch bone tempak

#

tempal

languid meadow
#

Makes sense

storm jungle
#

YEP

#

It legit feels like a short movie too

#

I love the arguments/chats people make about it

#

people hating on the guy are also stupid lol

#

that stupid bitch wife ruined everything

oh nice, u saying that reminded me i hadn't watched the the trailr for the the boys s5

#

nice 1

young pecan
#

Does Admech have a religious reason for not turning psykers into tech priests or is that just GW not wanting psykers in every facet of the Imperium

arctic talon
celest cedar
arctic talon
#

The mechanicus does however post psychic awakening

#

Keep skitarii and tech priests who have undergone awakening

uneven zealot
#

That is not the reasoning I expected given the usual shit I see in the lore

storm jungle
#

im expecting a dark fucked up punchline to this lol

arctic talon
#

Tbf of the 3 examples of awakened skitarii and priests one has becoming a walking nuclear reactor and is kept sealed in a lead box to be deployed as a super weapon.

One got spaced and died and the last one is self mutilating themselves due to new potential with psychic abilities

languid meadow
#

my fav theory is that billy and doorman are siblings

#

and children of the archmother and hidden king

spring cairn
#

crackpipe theory

arctic talon
#

The lead box technically doesn’t work but the skitarii thinks it does

languid meadow
#

it's peak

arctic talon
#

So they stop projecting their horrific death aura of radiation

#

And the Mechanicus just keep them in the box

spring cairn
#

billy's canon name is william iirc

#

geist says so

hollow lantern
#

I mean

arctic talon
#

Nah

hollow lantern
#

Billy is a nickname for William

languid meadow
#

I don't believe the french rich woman

arctic talon
#

Yeah that

spring cairn
#

she talk like she knows him from somewhere tho

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

a lot of people seem to know billy

#

LOL

hollow lantern
#

I figured it was being condescending tbh

spring cairn
#

yeah but it's mor personal ykn

#

she don't sound that mean in that line

#

maybe she knew him pre-goat head

arctic talon
uneven zealot
#

I was expecting something more like Mechanicus just being adverse to things that defy their 'Logic'

arctic talon
#

The mechanicus studies the warp still

#

but there is an ability in Dark heresy for a tech priest to scream math disproving a daemons existence

#

which does in fact damage or banish the daemon

storm jungle
#

tbh its also like

#

the writers legit forgot to establish most Pskyer lore for admech besides "they just give them to Black Ships"

arctic talon
#

Yeah that also

#

Psychic awakening backfilled some of it but thats it

#

the Mechanicus really didn't have a ton of lore until like

#

very modernly

arctic talon
#

like the mid 2000's

young pecan
arctic talon
young pecan
#

Ohh okay

arctic talon
#

the metallican explorator fleet doesn't want to deal with the headache of trying to get the skitarii under control or kill them

#

so they deadass just keep him in a box

young pecan
#

Surely that will not have consequences later

arctic talon
#

tbf the skitarii thinks they were chosen by the omnissiah to become a literal cleansing flame

#

and they're a walking cognito hazard + radiation hazard

#

when not in the box

#

this will surely end well

uneven zealot
#

I was trying to succinctly put into words something but im super tired and have lost the ability to write in my own native language

languid meadow
#

Guards!

#

dip him in tar...

uneven zealot
#

Anyways they probably like- didnt wanna get too much behind the idea of mechanicus psykers for the more meta side of things.
Models. TBT rules. Sheets and stuff (Balancing? Idk) and having to churn out yet more damn lore.

#

Simpler that they just do what the rest of the imperium do but with a few caveats

arctic talon
#

also yeah tabletop wise the mechanicus is supposed to have the weakness of no psykers

storm jungle
#

100% what you two said yeah

#

they prob just didnt wanna bloat psyker stuff on tabletop by giving admech psykers and keeping them kinda specific to Guard/Marines

spring cairn
#

they have elctro priests anyway

#

they got the wizard stuff covered

arctic talon
#

A lot of armies are meant to lack certain pieces in their roster

#

Tbf tech priests literally look like priests/wizards

#

lol

hollow lantern
#

When I think psyker I think CWE tbh

arctic talon
#

Aesthetically they got it

#

Dilara is referring to imperial factions

#

I’d assume

#

The only armies that don’t lack like things that you’d want in an army is like

uneven zealot
#

Does this mean that the forges are churning out Blazeforce weapons and the Force staffs for Psyker usage while having very little to do with psykers themselves?

arctic talon
#

Orks? Vaguely

uneven zealot
#

Kinda funny

hollow lantern
arctic talon
#

Chaos knights only sku

arctic talon
young pecan
#

I like the idea of AdMech psykers but not commonly

#

Psykers already got too much drip, leave it for everyone else

vagrant fox
#

more lore magos psykana when

languid meadow
#

@arctic talon some marathon story beats regarding what could've happen on Tau

#

which is what I thought it was before now

rose thorn
#

"you know maybe i was wrong about berserk being gay media"

opesn berserk

"this is the gayest shit ive ever seen"

rose thorn
#

laos shit i might need to play the new marathon

storm jungle
rose thorn
raven stone
#

I mean TBF the gay happens before shit hits the fan

rose thorn
#

the light of yaoi will pierce the dark veil of hetero

raven stone
#

after a certain infamous event

#

I don't think it really counts, y'know :p

rose thorn
#

my friend is showing me the gay of after shit hits the fan too lmao

raven stone
#

oh lol

mossy peak
#

do space marines have a libido

raven stone
#

Nope

#

Literally removed it out of their head, replaced it with autism-levels of focus on nothing but warfare

paper haven
paper haven
raven stone
#

Or because they quite literally undo their own Imperial brainwashing, in a sense.

paper haven
#

I think Space wolves have libido, but the book I read it in had only vaguely hinted at it

languid meadow
#

they're turned into marines much later than other chapters usually

#

and some have had kids before they get fully marinified iirc

opaque coyote
#

I think it's also implied that when you turn into an SM, your sex drive is just

#

Gone

last stone
#

chemical castration?

languid meadow
#

are only real thing on it is Lukas saying he "entertains" the women of tribes he's connected to when not at the fang but it's Lukas so

#

shouldn't take what he says seriously

languid meadow
opaque coyote
#

D) Lying (duh)

languid meadow
#

examples like the space wolves are VERY rare since again they're turned into marines much later than usual and or boys are doing well teen stuff since fenris is so harsh they're kind of pressured into doing the do early

opaque coyote
#

"FUCK NOW YOUR YOUNGER SIBLING JUST GOT EATEN BY OUR NOT WOLVES!"

languid meadow
#

so many marines of the wolves have fucked and some have kids/grandkids/great grand kids/ great great grand kids

opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

but unlike sallies they usually never keep with them

opaque coyote
#

But I doubt the chances of them going to one are zero

languid meadow
#

I mean marines are more "human" than a lot of other chapters but yeah I don't think they would

#

seems like familal bonds are mostly a sally thing with a sprinkle of UM in there

opaque coyote
#

"Dad, where the fuck were you, you said you were going to get the milk, not become a Space Marine!"

#

"BROTHER RUN."

#

There is a non zero chance this happened to a Space Wolf

languid meadow
#

despite wolves having very inconsistent writing they're unironically very realistic lol

#

they just straight up act like real enlisted in our militaries now

opaque coyote
#

Including the Wife's boyfriend

limpid granite
languid meadow
#

everyone existing invites them

limpid granite
opaque coyote
mossy peak
limpid granite
#

An eye for an eye

#

Khorne would understand

opaque coyote
#

Like one SM has sex

#

Great

opaque coyote
#

Try to go through the literal trillions that are probably doing the same thing

limpid granite
opaque coyote
#

Turns out it isn't Slaaneshi related, it's just an STD that causes purple spots to appear on the clothes you wear

#

(different from the STD that causes purple spots AND crab claws)

near wasp
#

Slaneshi transmitted disease

opaque coyote
#

Also I always thought that Slaanesh and Tzeentch basically have little reason to hate each other because their domains intersect or compete often. It's probably just an obligation atp.

But then I realized that Slaanesh sometimes has bits of blue in their coloration

limpid granite
opaque coyote
#

So I'm now imagining that Tzeentch and Slaanesh have a rivalry

opaque coyote
#

Purely because Slaanesh wanted to use Blue

opaque coyote
#

"THAT'S MY THING! YOU CAN'T DO MY THING!"

#

"why? Didn't plan for that?"

#

"YES! I MEAN NO I MEAN... RGGGGHH THAT'S IT. WE ARE ENEMIES!"

near wasp
#

Canon

#

I read that in the tts tzeentch voice

opaque coyote
#

Perfect voice for him

#

Although for Slaanesh I always imagined Androgynous

#

Still with the classic lusty tone but it's to the point where

#

You legitimately cannot tell whether they're masculine or feminine

#

They just are

opaque coyote
#

Still hate each other but that's basic Chaos God 101

#

Their domains might as well be separate

near wasp
#

Khorne and nurgle are probably also more neutral I'd think. I don't really hear about them fighting often

opaque coyote
#

Like for Chaos God relationships in general

There's generally

"Two I really despise with all of my heart to the point of blinding anger. One I just dislike, they're kinda annoying"

near wasp
#

Yeah

opaque coyote
#

Of course they still fight cause

#

The great game™

#

Chaos based Rogue-lite pls geedubs

near wasp
#

Lowkey that'd be fun

#

Each run you collect blessing and the goal is to ascend

opaque coyote
#

Also imagining things like Duo Blessings. Where they're stronger but they also get a debuff because of the obvious disdain towards each other

#

Like Khorne and Slaanesh for example

#

Risk vs Reward type thing

languid meadow
#

I hate hadron

opaque coyote
#

They kept the banger intro theme

#

But the music is gone

languid meadow
#

yeah lol

opaque coyote
#

For most of the game

languid meadow
#

no level tracks

opaque coyote
#

Tbf they wanted to try immersive audio and such

#

Which, especially for the time, was interesting

#

But also it's a 90s game so all you get to hear are the wonderful random enemy sounds

#

It's like the Doom PS1 port where it's actually near perfect but the problem is that there's zero fucking music so it feels lame

#

Even Doom 64 had some ambient tracks

near wasp
#

So if amasec were real what brand of liquor y'all think it'd be. I'm leaning to it being Jack Daniels

opaque coyote
#

I don't care if half the doom music is literally stolen from bands like Metallica (seriously it's basically plagiarism). Let me listen to some fucking tunes

opaque coyote
near wasp
#

Well we know it's not beer

limpid granite
#

Something easy to drink

near wasp
#

Wine exists as wine in the grimdark

#

It's some sort of liquor

limpid granite
#

We out here drinking straight prometheum

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

I def think amasec is sweet

opaque coyote
#

Generally just the worst brand

#

You can think of

#

For alcohol

#

Imagine that and that's probably Amasec

#

Hehe amasex

#

But seriously though

#

Like you think it'd taste good?

#

In the Imperium??

#

Nah it'd probably taste like distilled piss and you need to drink like 5 bottles just to get a buzz

#

And the Guardsman are only allowed one during leave

limpid granite
#

Hmm

opaque coyote
#

Why do you think people fall to Slaanesh?

#

It's because they want actually decent alcohol for once

#

You can't go back after that...

near wasp
#

God I wish I had some shine

opaque coyote
#

No in-between

limpid granite
#

Amasec is a popular alcoholic beverage in the Imperium distilled from wine. Its quality can vary considerably, ranging from basic brews to well-aged brands suitable only for fine tastes.[1]

It seems to be distilled from grain.[2]

near wasp
#

Burnetts

#

Or mad dawgs

near wasp
#

You can't have a wine made from grain

remote widget
#

Are there perpetuals in 40k

#

Or is that an HH thing only

#

Otherwise guilliman would have them as advisors, I would think

near wasp
remote widget
#

Its brandy

#

Armengnac

near wasp
#

If it's from grain it's whiskey if it's from wine it's brandy

remote widget
#

It is brandy,

#

Sacra is scotch

They talk of sacra in goblets not tumblers

#

He’s died like 4 times

Impaled by a keeper of secrets, crushed and eaten by a great unclean one and torn apart by lesser daemons

Got me some amasec aka a giant bottle of crown

Been training a new guy at work all week and I lowkey begun to lose my mind from boredom

jade holly
#

It’s just straight up respawn immortality?

opaque coyote
#

Without having them permanently be ended

#

Like you don't need bs plot armor.

#

He got shot and he died

#

He just doesn't stay that way

jade holly
#

Chainsaw launcher and all

opaque coyote
#

Nah I'm not making an immortal groomer

jade holly
#

Wait what

#

That’s not the Dr Bright I know

#

The one I know is the funny guy who’s been banned from doing many things at the SCP

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

vagrant fox
#

Yes a groomer and now mostly deleted from articles

jade holly
#

Damn

#

Never knew that

vagrant fox
#

Clear evidence for never trusting self insert characters

opaque coyote
#

Ironic given that a lot of author stuff is self insert

jade holly
#

I hate self inserts

opaque coyote
#

Yeah a lot of famous scp characters are blatant self inserts

Tbf it was when the wiki was just existing

#

Clef, Gears, etc

near wasp
#

Yeah they replaced him with a different name where needed and deleted most other references to him

opaque coyote
#

Luckily that was the only sort of true controversy based on that so far

#

So

#

There's that

sacred ginkgo
#

This is why you consume the superior supernatural entities media

#

Lob corp

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Tbf SCP still has a lot of cool shit in general. But it's also community based

near wasp
#

It's just bloated now

jade holly
#

Wait isn’t he actually dead in lore?

opaque coyote
near wasp
#

Yeah

opaque coyote
#

Especially with how it's structured

#

And how many different versions of the Foundation there are

near wasp
#

Most scps just arnt interesting anymore

jade holly
#

I liked the idea that it was a controlled public writing project. It could be horror, sci fi, comedy, action

opaque coyote
#

I will say there's plenty of still interesting ones

#

Even new ones

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

But that's because I like to dig deep

near wasp
#

Well yeah but the ratio of good to bad is way heavier skewed to bad now

jade holly
#

One of my favorites was… I think 3000?

vagrant fox
#

It's very pulp magazine, some good stuff a lot of meh

jade holly
#

Is that the giant eel that makes you go crazy?

opaque coyote
#

Like SCP 173 was considered creepy

#

But if it was posted now

#

Eh

jade holly
#

And then they overdid it with his powers

opaque coyote
#

It's a statue that literally shits itself

jade holly
#

Now he clone, he’s all over the place

#

He’s on the moon

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

He got boring because they wanted to make him Keter class

opaque coyote
#

The original still exists

jade holly
#

imo the best ones are the ones with limitations

#

One of the saddest will always be “Here Be Dragons”

#

Damn that story makes me sad everytime

opaque coyote
vagrant fox
#

Zamn it's been almost a year since TheVolgun uploaded. Wonder what happened

opaque coyote
#

Terrifying

near wasp
#

I thought he became a VA or something

opaque coyote
#

He's taking a break

jade holly
#

is Secret Laboratory still going strong?

opaque coyote
#

Still getting updates and a player base

jade holly
#

One of my favorite clips I saw of that game was a guy turning into a marshmallow thing and throwing hands with 939

opaque coyote
#

I love stories of systematic abuse that will never be righted!

opaque coyote
#

There's the famous ones like the Global Occult Coalition.

The UN if it was competent and killed anomalies that are dangerous.

#

Or even sometimes not dangerous

#

The Chaos Insurgency, Wanderer's Library

#

But my favorites are the ones where they're basically just a part of the anomalous world .

#

Ambrose Restaurants being an anomalous restaurant company that creates unique foods and restaurants in both anomalous and non-anomalous locations.

With the foundation being frustrated because they keep making locations in places like San Francisco.

near wasp
#

@fervent geode hey bro would you mind adding me to bounce some ideas for vtm with you more consistently. You are very good with it all and have been helping me out tons.

opaque coyote
#

They just happen to include shit that Ambrose Translyvania. A restaurant entirely dedicated to vampires

opaque coyote
#

Totleighsoft

A company funded by an Eldritch entity that fell from Earth, and barely understands humanity, but wants to live up to the American dream and make stuff related to computers

#

That is almost always weird and dangerous. Things like video games, software, etc.

near wasp
#

Laati apparently really likes scp

opaque coyote
#

Just Girly Things. A cult that basically manipulates women to be more stereotypically feminine and girly! Used as commentary against common feminine problems

#

And just societal problems in general

#

And finally Goldbaker-Reinz Ltd

#

...an anomalous insurance company that the foundation mainly uses

#

Which seems to multi-universal. Even having insurance for things like XK-Class end of the world scenarios.

#

And which is weirdly fair, although only a tiny bit skewed to their side.

opaque coyote
#

Ofc I like it

near wasp
#

I was into it a bit during high school but got more into guns shortly after so that interest faded away

#

Now for me my hyper fixations are 40k and wod

opaque coyote
#

My hyperfixations are like a revolving door

#

They never disappear they just go away for a bit

#

And then come running back

#

As such I have plenty but my interest wanes and waxes

#

SCP has been one of the few that doesn't really do that though

#

Always fascinated

#

There's a lot of good stuff, and a lot of bad ones.

But it's almost always interesting

#

Especially shit like there being an FBI division that owns an anomalous American town known as the Portlands.

#

Also said FBI Division is known as uhh

near wasp
#

Uiu

opaque coyote
#

"UIUseless" to put it lightly,

near wasp
#

They were my fav back in the day just due to how out of there depth they were

opaque coyote
#

Tbh they're still interesting as a "Aware but not fully knowledgeable" pov

#

Because they still are underdogs

#

And definitely nothing compared to things like the Chaos Insurgency, GoC, SCP Foundation, etc.

#

But they try

near wasp
#

maybe i should listen to a few again

#

be a nice thing to watch while i vibe

#

Fun fact: In the new hit game: Marathon® you can buy a recolour for a character (not a new model), a recolour for a single gun (not a universal skin) and some jpgs and a charm.

Marathon lore question: How do the shells work? Because each shell has its own personality, does that mean that we arent really picking shells but instead we are picking the full person inside the shell? The way i thought it would originally work, would be: You pick a personality at the start of the game, then the shell you pick will have that personality. But thats not the case. (Note: I fucking hate how cheesy all of the shells are. Very cringe)

#

ITS FUCKING 7

scenic bolt
#

goes along the lines of the process of transferring a human brain to digital kinda messes you up along the way, by having a pre-programmed baseline personality in a shell it gives your conciousness something to latch onto and fit into without producing stupid amounts of psychosis

Oh is it like marathon infinite’s intro

I'm saying it's to show that bungie isn't bad at optimization like people have been claiming for years

considering marathon launches at 18gigs when other games in the same genre are massive or mid sized

#

ARC is 42 gigs

Tarkov is fucking 100

im ngl marathon is also hard to look at in my honest to god opinion

#

game is so peculiar design wise but its like in a cool way

shadow plover
#

I love everything about it how it looks

languid meadow
#

I was iffy on it at first but yeah I like what they did with it

scenic bolt
#

I think the design works well for being readable, silhouttes and movement stick out against the color in the same fashion as say overwatch

languid meadow
#

the controversy was unfortunate but at least it turned out okay

#

them dropping the cellshade of earlier versions did wonders

shadow plover
#

I kinda wish they kept it

languid meadow
#

ehhh it could work but I much prefer what we have now

surreal nest

the characters are profoundly uninteresting and hideous design wise tho imo which is a bummer

languid meadow

the contrast of the smooth odd 3D printed buildings with the grime and trash is so cool

I can't wait to see the Marathon

the only design I don't like

is uh

he looks like he has a rare blood disease

I'm really excited for the new shell however

you can find this shell in dire marsh in a display and its helmet as an item

his silhouette is also used for the "new shell" teaser in the roadmap

I do wish there were milky water puddles

that trailer looked so good

Prob get an area like that

I killed someone in deep water at marsh

the blood affects in the game are so good

so glad they pivoted from the disappearing corpses in the early tests

that's why you see articles like "Kpop idol doing their mandatory service"

and why i spit on characters like Luna or Kpop demon hunters etc

Kpop industry had like academies for potential Idols, each one will be filled with like hundreds of 10-14 year olds who are drilled ruthlessly every day and urged to compete with eachother for the top, they're kept on incredibly strict diets and weighted regularly, they're asscesed on their attractiveness and given guides on which surgeons they need to go to to get cosmetic surgeries, to the point where a lot are basically being booked in for surgery on the very day they become legally old enough to receive said surgery.

A single allegation of a boyfriend can ruin your career

Or the fact that the male kpop members get infantalized

Three Yakuza guys mess up a job and their boss gives them the choice of death or being turned into Idols. The show then exposes a ton of the shit the Idols go through and the fact that like even hardened Yakuza dudes are shocked and horrified by it.

Its genuinely awful

hollow lantern

We love parasocial relationships

rocky gale

Oh yea it's got super intense purity culture, the idols have to appear to be single virgins until they retire otherwise it's a scandal.

hollow lantern

Tbh I assumed it was to market the idea that you could date them which then entices people to spend more money

outer wave
#

Its likely that yeah

#

Actually it IS that

rocky gale
#

It basically is, but it's like the same way debutantes used to be treated on things like the marriage mart, they had to appear to be single and "untouched"

#

Except they're not attracting marriage offers, they're attracting fans who fantasise about giving them marriage offers

hollow lantern

Yes

Imagine the amount of love letters that those idols get from strangers that they dont know

Those letters go to the agency

Yea there's actually quite a divide between the fans of like those that want to marry the Idols and those that view them as daughters and would kill anyone who touched them
