After they lost, and could not reconquer Rome, they gave up on the idea.

ye

But you can't be Roman without Rome.

They are the successors of Rome though.

Like literally sacking rome as a "roman" empire

Until the church came along in the Renaissance and started to burn and break everything

the ottomans may be the best purely cus they had the biggest hats

No the church started to destroy anything related to the old pantheons. Lots of stuff was lost

#

Statues, art

#

They didnt want any “pagan religions running around”

#

How the turns table huh

odd sparrow
#

By the like idk 16th-ish century paganism was p much extinct anyways, the whole ahm

#

idk rapid spread of christianity was mostly a few centuries prior

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

cus remember kids, abrahamic religion is p much tailor made to spread as rapidly and violently as possible

#

it's the zerg rush variety of religions

cursive hull
#

It did survive because of it, in fairness.

#

But yeah

#

Its pretty... Intense.

odd sparrow
#

it's like

gaunt vector
#

A lot of it was the Inquisiton

odd sparrow
#

Basically a bunch of diff christian authors all making fanfics about those materialist god hating satanists

peak hamlet
#

I like how martin luther hated jews, wrote a book about it and supported witch burnings but nobody fucking cares anymore

odd sparrow
#

and like, see they use the upside down pentagram to- and so on when all of this was just total fiction

#

u already killed all the religious opposition to christianity u cant just make opponents up now

#

that's not how this works

odd sparrow
gaunt vector
#

yes but then they did anyway

peak hamlet
gaunt vector
#

but not really

cursive hull
#

What I really love is that its clear in some areas that many freshly converted Christian Kingdoms and other such had become so unfamiliar with the religion they converted from, that it turned into like... Boogymen and monsters.

You know the Wild Hunt? One potential starting point for that concept is based on Odin taking his spectral warriors at night.

When it was literally just the strong winds shaking houses n blowing out candles n shit.

peak hamlet
#

And basically all of protestantism

odd sparrow
#

protestantism by design isn't really pinned to him or his views

#

so idek why they'd bother

#

when u can make up whatever new protestant sect or church u want what's even the point, at least the catholics have an actual reason for defending their nonsense

Norse Paganism/Asatru is great.

But most of the old faiths are like that.

odd sparrow
#

like, churches may be built on the sites of existing places of worship, a lot of the time existing gods or figures would become bogeymen but also occasionally would end up translated as saints

gaunt vector
cursive hull
#

Speaking as an Atheist.

At least they kinda interpret things without making it into something spooky scary.

odd sparrow
#

,,, which does sorta beg the question of how the whole saint thing is just lowkey polytheism buuuut

#

that's unrelated

cursive hull
#

Like... Christianity literally makes everything into spooky scary.

#

But not the old faiths.

peak hamlet

#

I like catholism as a fantasy concept but i am still amazed how people believe in that bullshit

The only reason i like them still beeing around is that they kinda keep churches intact, i love architecture

Probably one of my favorite parts of the old faiths is the fact they try to explain natural occurrences in ways they understood.

its much better than the Christian method.

Is there really a "better" way when both are just wrong? lul

TBH, a bit of a fun relating to this in CK3 that I love is that you can get "Troll attacks." as a thing that happens to your realm.

Gonna try to avoid polluting memes with anything else offtopic, but is it talked about much how the underhive can have like lots of for example plague demons/worshippers in it, but the whole world doesn't immediately succumb to a demon incursion? Playing Inquisitor Martyr, and now seeing Darktide makes me assume this might be a common occurrence. From the lore I remember reading a few back out of one of the codex's though, I thought all it took was something as small as a child psyker being a gateway for corpseflies to destroy an entire world?

cerulean wagon
#

Yeah the underhive tends to be the dredges of society living in the abandoned parts of a hive

#

Lots of mutants n gangers and little supervision

crisp heath
#

Right

cerulean wagon
#

Its not always how an uprising happens, but if your some scummy cultists looking for a place to hide the underhive is a good shout. If you can survive anyway

crisp heath
#

No definitely, I am just curious like, why aren't some of these worlds with chaos cultists in the underhive and literal demons running around not being invaded by hoards of demons and dragged into the warp

#

Does that depend entirely on the Chaos God's interest of destroying the specific world?

#

Is there like an event horizon for chaos corruption before it goes full fucked?

cerulean wagon
#

Its less the interest and more the strength of the cult in question

crisp heath
#

Ah

cerulean wagon
#

the more active and powerful cults become the more they weakent he veil between the material and the immaterial

crisp heath
#

Okay that makes sense

cerulean wagon
#

When a demon is summoned it usually disapears because it cant ohysically exist here

#

perform enough sacrifices and set up the right psychic wards however and you could make an area safe for demonic habitation

crisp heath
#

Interesting

barren tapir
#

Take also in consideration that the underhive is regularly purged as much as possible

cerulean wagon
#

The issue is trying to do that without any of the following cottoning on:
The inquisition
The arbites
Gangers
Other cults
The imperial guard

barren tapir
#

So a cult have to be extremely powerful, and then that is when t launch an uprising, or extremely fast

crisp heath
#

Gotcha

cerulean wagon
#

games and media show it as a success because its a good story to write and an obvious origin point for cults, but a lot get stopped before making a move

barren tapir
#

Then there are the underhive monsters, the guys who simply want to live

cerulean wagon
#

in some cases they even end up killing themselves in aid rituals without achieving a thing

Gav Thorpe is defi on the bad scale

Oh, I'm talking about it being wanky as fuck.

it might be something between the Devestation of Baal and the city of light but idk what it is

Ik that mephiston had a psychic mishap in that time which killed another librarian and caused him to need primarising

Funny how primarising sounds like a punishment

#

You can't do an interstellar teleport in 40k, since teleportation works by punting you through the Warp for such a short time that the daemon's can't grab your delicious soul-bits

gaunt vector
vagrant osprey
#

If you try to do an interstellar teleport, then you get to spend a few weeks being yeeted through the deep warp getting GENTLY CARESSED by daemons.

#

With no Geller field.

i like ben counter a lot as a writer as well

eternal ledge
vagrant osprey
#

Yes.

#

But at least THERE you don't have daemons

open marsh
#

:v

vagrant osprey
#

Fair

#

Normal teleports have a 95% success rate.

#

The remaining 5% is daemons.

open marsh
#

Also is it weird that when I first learned how "warp" travel in 40k works, the first things I thought of were Half-Life and X-Men: Evolution (specifically Night Stalker and how his teleportation ability works)

Necrons use stolen web way portals

vagrant osprey
#

They do space folding to get wormholes.

#

Oh, is that the lore now?

crisp heath
#

F

final spruce

They use both

#

And its old lore

#

Like 2003 old lore

crisp heath
#

when you become so advanced in tech that you can fold space and time like it’s fresh laundry

#

Necrons dont use just wormholes

#

They use several variants depending on the device

#

And the purpose

#

Recalling warrior bodies is done via a sub dimension

storm jungle
#

Dolmen Gates too

#

but i was always lazy to look up what they are on the 40k wiki, I just know them as portals to the underworld from irl. (because 40k is subtle)

Ever seen a train wreck?

#

I got a job, and then got fired a week later for "sleeping on the job", when I take ADHD medication (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine salts, XR, 20mg, 2x Daily).

#

So it is pretty much physiologically impossible for me to sleep when Im working, due to the massive amount of stimulants running through my system

#

I'm sorry to hear that. Dealing with peoples intolerance and ignorance around mental stuff is something I know painfully well.

So fired for bullshit reasons

Your body gives up trying to make you tired. But around Day 3 the hallucinations start. Tho luckily mine were only visual. The classic "Seeing spots"

question for some lore vets, what the fuck is the "change" chaos god actually about?

what tzeentch do?

Like, Khorne is murdering things, Nergal is gross, and Slannesh is Sex n torture, so what the fuck is his schtick?

schemes and plans

Tzeentch is the lord of change, he is about plans , scheeming , intellect, the powers of the warp and knowledge

At first I was like "This seems unusually "sexy" in comparison to the other R63 Primarchs he has drawn."

And then I immediately rememebered: It's Fulgrim. This is the exact kind of thing she would do.

radiant heath
#

Yup

open marsh
#

Especially in a good comparison to Ferrus, who has much less formfitting / revealing plate, because she really couldnt care less about the sexy.

odd sparrow

fulgrim owns an extremely expensive OF and it's only arguably overpriced

ferrus does look on point tbh

The Lion looks...

I dunno, a bit too plain

#

Then again

#

A singular image a whole character does not make

open marsh
#

I think the Lioness looks on point. Her expression matches the Lion to a T. She got dat mane too. And if you look at the Lion, he is kinda plain/unadorned looking, but he pulls off his look so well he is just...umf ❤️

Yeah. The Lioness has that same...umf ❤️

Perturabo

odd sparrow

ye can tell from the lil grated bit on their collar

open marsh

Tho I agree, not his best work of them. Since Pert is bald except for his dread-like information uplinks

#

Should have given her those uplinks

#

And a more grim expression

cursive hull
#

Ah

open marsh
#

Like he is never shown without those uplinks

cursive hull
#

Yeah

#

Sorta muted the character recognizability factor.

open marsh
#

yeah

#

But its also kinda meta

#

because its Perturabo

#

So of course the artist didnt depict him right

Besides Endryd Haar and Autek Mor, have there been any other Thunder Warriors who were stabilized and inducted into the Legiones Astartes?

Hey lore people, Warhammer newbie here. Why aren't there space Skaven rats in Warhammer 40k? There are Skavens in AoS, why aren't they in 40k? My friend and I would love to see space rats minis y'know

odd sparrow
#

not every race really translated over to 40k with as much success

#

dwarves are another one, they were in 40k at first but got sorta phased out as a proper race later on

sturdy talon
#

Also, I know that some Admechs use xenos tech despite it being heresy, and we call them Xenarites. Question is - are there any xenos joining cult Mechanicus instead?

storm jungle
#

Nope. That's pretty much an impossibility

#

mostly because of the Imperium's rule of "xenos stinky no"

sturdy talon
#

But could it be that some xenos heard about Omnissiah somewhere and decided to worship them?

#

Without Imperium's knowledge

storm jungle
#

That is not out of the question yep

#

40k is far and wide, almost anything is possible at times

barren tapir
#

Skaven aren't on WH40K because they are a shitty races anyway... And the fact that they rely entirely on warpstone, that doesn't exist in WH40K...

I still have to understand what people find interesting in skavens... They are an awful race...

they're grown for them iirc

its cause kojima is a big military nerd iirc

hense all the dumb gun lore

I’ve played half way through revengance maybe and started 5 twice

cerulean wagon
#

i beat 1, 2 and 3

#

yet to play 4

visual pumice
#

I want to play some of the older ones

#

Just for the experience

cerulean wagon
#

1 is a pain in the ass control wise but a good story, 2 is an improvement gameplay wise bit a bit weird, 3 is the best game in the series imo, i've played some of 4 and it seems good

storm jungle
#

What skelly said basically sums it up

visual pumice
#

Righty

#

There was rumours of a remake for one or something wasn’t there?

cerulean wagon
#

it was ported to the Ps3/4 i think?

storm jungle
#

Yeah a fan remake

#

konami shut it down

cerulean wagon
#

but it still used the PS1 control scheme

storm jungle
#

Also yeee a collection edition but it was just for the PS3

#

i got the case in my drawer

cerulean wagon
#

Basically MGS1 all the controls are backwards or just not there

storm jungle
cerulean wagon
#

What if O was to accept and X to cancel?

Especially when i play dark souls like a chimp

1 has some of the best villains is literaly the only reason to play it imo

Grey fox, sniper wolf, ocelot

What one is psycho mantis in?

cerulean wagon

cerulean wagon

#

He’s in 5?

final spruce
#

But you were that wrong since he appears in 3 games

#

Yes he is the child

visual pumice
#

Fuck sake

#

I thought that aswell

#

Like i say i never played through it enough

cerulean wagon
#

its less playing through it enough and more its hard to get whats going on without context

#

5 is a solid game but its very much a "ive been forced to make an extra"

storm jungle
#

Yeah kojima didnt even want to make 4

#

the guy got death threats about it lol

#

its why its SOOOO exposition heavy

#

he basically went "you want everything explained? Fuck it, fine"

visual pumice
#

It’s more i don’t get the timeline of events either

cerulean wagon
#

its why 4 is like an 8 hour movie before gameplay

#

mgs 5 is the..... first or 2nd timeline wise

visual pumice
#

Riiight

storm jungle
cerulean wagon
#

its like

#

5-3-1-2-4

#

hense mantis is a kid

#

theres like 30 years between the prequals and the events of 1

visual pumice
#

Like the most i know is that revengance isn’t cannon

#

Which is a bit upsetting

cerulean wagon
#

revengance is cannon i'm psure, but its also the last entry in the game canonically

#

cause its after 4

storm jungle
#

👏

you can skip metal gear 1+2 tho

#

weird top downs that they are

That site is literally the most accurate as you can get lol

and what skelly said yep

cerulean wagon
#

the portables are good for some context but not necessary

visual pumice
#

I’ll play through 5 again at somepoint i think

#

I got past the first missions

#

Got the funny speech

#

It feels like death stranding where i need to have alot spare time to play it and get anywhere

storm jungle

Eh i wouldnt put MGS5 like that

#

its not that complex of a game

Just after the first mission

I quite liked death stranding

#

Really surprising how good of a game it was

median sundial
#

I've yet to play it. I kinda see the plot issues people have; sounds a lot like a runaway Kojima incident; but it looks like a nice game to play. Just a leisurely stroll through post apocalyptic America modeled after Greenland.

#

Literally everyone screaming out in anger and having to sift through the shit somehow didn't ruin my perception of the game, unlike LoU2.

storm jungle
#

Last of Us 2 was genuinely shit

#

but Death Stranding imo is like

just Good.

#

I dont like it but having played it i can say its a niche game on its own

median sundial
#

I could give less of a shit about Last of Us 2

Might've liked it, might've not. People were mad because Joel died to a trans girl with a golf club and I resigned myself to just sorta seeing what my subscribed Youtubers had to say about it.

Yeah that too.

Further more no matter what stance you took you still lost.

You dont even lose imo

just... nothing happens

Ellie went through all that just to give up lmao

median sundial
#

No I mean argument wise. Like the game, you're SJW joe sucker. Don't, you're a bigot and hate good story telling.

#

At least with DS you could find comfort in the fact that it's eccentricity and flaws add charm to it all, and the worst that'd happen is that some chud calls you a Kojima fanboy and then some other sensible person tells them they're stupid.

Gaming discourse is like a Merry go round full of angry 30 somethings. They find something to be angry over and then they yell and whine about it so much that it devalues the subject by association most of the time, and then everyone calms down so that other people can finally sift through the ashes while the same people go off to repeat the whole thing again with something else.
