What’s the government going to do?

tell us not to?

[storm jungle]

Here u go

https://youtu.be/MaGMeMxGl2Q?t=3

perfect representation of why words are terrible

[odd sparrow]

same tbh

the bloat is really bad range and fluff wise

[storm jungle]

Yeaaaah its why I legit despise 40k sometimes

literally one of the messiest universes when it comes to bad writing and excuses that cover it

ITS THE WARP DUDE

[odd sparrow]

lmao yeah

every writer has their own interpretation

[peak hamlet]

YES THE WARP, PROBLEM GON NOW

[odd sparrow]

about 60% of those writers kinda suck

[storm jungle]

LMAO

ratty laying the facts

[odd sparrow]

as a setting it'll never be as good for me as others just cus it's an incohesive clusterfuck

[storm jungle]

THANK YOU

[visual pumice]

Na

[storm jungle]

I hate that people say it what makes it so great

then you realise its shallow af

[visual pumice]

I think it’s fine

[storm jungle]

Bastard

[dim totem]

i think it's ok but

big but

i havent read any books

[visual pumice]

Yeah same

[storm jungle]

Yeah when you dont read books its fine

[dim totem]

i might read an imperial guard book at some point maybe and just continue not to overthink it

[peak hamlet]

Another big one, i really prefer them fucking gigantic over slightly taller than imperial knight

[storm jungle]

SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR DAMN TITAN ALREADY

[peak hamlet]

MAKE ME

[storm jungle]

AA-

[dim totem]

play nice

[storm jungle]

no u

[dim totem]

[dim totem]

and if you dont agree ill kill u

[visual pumice]

[peak hamlet]

Yee et is always nice

Unlike dilly

[dim totem]

ohhhh

[storm jungle]

You fucker

[dim totem]

ok post your titan bobo

[peak hamlet]

Bless

[final spruce]

I mean Dilara keeps proving him right

[peak hamlet]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ApocFF_Titans-Jul05-ArmyShot18sk.jpg

Oi

But yeah found no further hierophant bio titan pics with cool size

:(

Dilly won

[storm jungle]

haha

owned

[peak hamlet]

😭

[dim totem]

very nice

[peak hamlet]

Man i want to buy some chaos titans now

[dim totem]

i want to buy the new necromunda gangers and the cute lil market

[peak hamlet]

Same!!

[dim totem]

my housemate was gonna get me some credit at the local games store but i dont even know if theyre going to have them lol

i might just spend it on tanks or sth

[cerulean wagon]

you realize imperial knights are massive right? also that the biotitan is done off old stuff which was never truescale

[odd sparrow]

knights aren't THAT big

they're like. idk a four story house or smthn

[peak hamlet]

Knight arent that big

Like 10 meters or so?

Maybe 12

[cerulean wagon]

15-60m

[peak hamlet]

Also idk i prefer art scale over tabletop scale

60 meters

A knight

[cerulean wagon]

forgot tor emove the end bit

[odd sparrow]

aw man have knights also been subjected to the GW writers making up random heights thing like titans were

[peak hamlet]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/3/31/ImperialKnightAstraMilitarum.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171009052705

60 meters 🙏

[storm jungle]

Its the same as how people treat Imperators like giants when going by lore they get dwarfed by the statue of liberty lol

[cerulean wagon]

but ye size comparison vs tau

[odd sparrow]

yee cus the actual height measurements are v fucky

[storm jungle]

WHO MADE THIS

[cerulean wagon]

apologies for quality, its a FW image

[odd sparrow]

GOD

pain

[dim totem]

noooo run little tau

[odd sparrow]

smol tau

[dim totem]

i really wonder if they got the scale on those real world things right

[cerulean wagon]

thry didnt

the 60m from befire is max titan height

[storm jungle]

Did it on Paint but

this is probably a bit more accurate

and thats me being generous

[peak hamlet]

Yee the emperor one still seems a lil fishy bot overall this is a lot better

[odd sparrow]

also dumbest element of emp titans

look at how top heavy they are

and then consider how they have multiple fuckoff huge cannons on their top carapace cathedral thing

[peak hamlet]

NVM LMFAO DILLY

[odd sparrow]

centre of gravity? we dont do that here

[storm jungle]

YEAH

[peak hamlet]

Warhound

[storm jungle]

OMG

FUCKING DWORF

[odd sparrow]

yee warhounds are only a lil bit taller than knights on tt

they're like

[peak hamlet]

Statue of liberty is like 50m and 100 with base

[odd sparrow]

the one titan u can sorta almost reasonably use in normal games

without it just being gratuitous

[storm jungle]

like i can suspend my disbelief but the moment this thing topples over its kinda fucked forever

i dont care how many macro-ass-lifters you get

[odd sparrow]

yee titan designs in general are just. weird

charming

but weird

[storm jungle]

Yeee obviously aesthetics first

i do love that ork titans make more sense tho ngl

[odd sparrow]

same

they have an actual! low centre of gravity! and look like they could at least exist as a static object under the constraint of gravity

[storm jungle]

YE exactly!

leave it to some fucking orks to make a design that makes more sense than the Imperium i guess lol

[odd sparrow]

same with their planes fsdhol

[peak hamlet]

Would look more something like this

[storm jungle]

oh my god LOL

WHY IS THAT SO TINY

it looks so cute

[odd sparrow]

babi

[peak hamlet]

Look at the tiny hummies

God i love this

[odd sparrow]

they're basically just titan escorts

[peak hamlet]

Yee

Warlord scout titan

[odd sparrow]

in BFG they're the tiny as smol escort ships for the actual ships

that vibe

[storm jungle]

Okay fixed

[peak hamlet]

Based

[odd sparrow]

is still v big on tt

[storm jungle]

yeee

[odd sparrow]

but that it's even like. fit-able. on tt means it's smol by these standards

hm one sec

[peak hamlet]

Yee 14 meters is quite a bit

[dim totem]

How big would a tbt model for that imperator titan be?

[odd sparrow]

too big

[storm jungle]

@peak hamlet Should we do this for the 3 other titans too

[peak hamlet]

Everything looks giantic unless you compare it to something even bigger

[peak hamlet]

I just post the heights real quick

[storm jungle]

Yeee go for it

Just got the Reaver, Warlord and the Imperator

[odd sparrow]

ok so apparently the height of the empire state building is 443m

the maximum described height of an imperator is about 140ish

[peak hamlet]

Reaver

[odd sparrow]

the USUAL described height is 40-50

so it's uh

[peak hamlet]

Warlord

No info on emperor, as ratty said

[storm jungle]

Ah damn

yeah half-the-height of the Empire States works i think

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[odd sparrow]

that's like, lowerish estimates for the imperator

higher puts it a lil below half the height of the building

[storm jungle]

Yeah it cant be that massive

because it has literal buildings for people on it

so that makes it half the chunk of States like i said before

[peak hamlet]

Ah yes the 32 meters warlord titan

Reminder not to trust art lmao

[storm jungle]

look at the tiny stairs

[peak hamlet]

No thats only 32 meters high, those ladders are for gretchin

[storm jungle]

fack

[odd sparrow]

going off the highest descriptions of about 140m, this is how big it is compared to the tallest skyscraper

800m building, titan a lil under a quarter

[peak hamlet]

I think one could use this as a reference tho

[odd sparrow]

if ur going for the lower estimates it's around the size bracket of the tiny skyscrapers below the burj

yee that one at least has ppl near it for reference

[storm jungle]

Yeee that actually works i think

[dim totem]

the hazard stripes

[peak hamlet]

Same!!

[dim totem]

so ugly

[odd sparrow]

shut

[peak hamlet]

Also

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Height_comparison_of_notable_statues_(vector).svg

[peak hamlet]

Oh i thought u said "i like the hazard stripes" lmao

Well svg no embed

[peak hamlet]

(Bottom right is about 5 meters, its not a human)

[odd sparrow]

smol david

[peak hamlet]

Smol boi

But yee

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Statue_of_Unity_in_2018.jpg

Quite a chonker

182 meters so still a lot bigger than 40k titans

[odd sparrow]

statues of unusual size

[peak hamlet]

I like

Big statues my beloved

[storm jungle]

Topple it do it now

[odd sparrow]

blasting charge time

[dim totem]

i like hazard stripes as much as the next guy but thats too many

[storm jungle]

actually who is this?

please tell me hes some good chap

[dim totem]

big statue man?

[peak hamlet]

Some indian dude

[storm jungle]

Thats offensive

[peak hamlet]

Vallabhbhai Patel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallabhbhai_Patel

[storm jungle]

Thank you

some german dude

[dim totem]

ah shoot bobo was first

[storm jungle]

haha

[dim totem]

i googled ‘big indian statue’

[odd sparrow]

apparently it cost like 422 million usd to make

[storm jungle]

oh jesus

[odd sparrow]

india dont u have like

more pressing concerns

[peak hamlet]

Confusion

[dim totem]

dang

2 mil over budget

[peak hamlet]

Chad move

Now they have the worlds biggest statue but nobody knows apparently lmao

[peak hamlet]

You manage to confuse me more dilly, great job 😩

[odd sparrow]

also hot take but something sci fiction hasn't explored enough is the architectrual possibilities posed by low/zero g enviroments

imagine the kind of shit u could make on like. moons and shit

[peak hamlet]

Oh right

[odd sparrow]

or even mars, that has lower gravity

mars is gonna have some cool shit on it if we avoid nuking ourselves first. keep it together humanity i wanna see cool buildings

[dim totem]

myes

[peak hamlet]

Or stuff in no gravity at all, you could build gigantic towers

[peak hamlet]

Dis

[odd sparrow]

gonna turn large asteroids/dwarf planets into fuckoff huge cathedral vibes

[dim totem]

i mean you got your dyson spheres and ring worlds and shit

[odd sparrow]

cus u dont even have to worry about the concept of up or down

nvm it collapsing

[peak hamlet]

Yes pls

Well the only problem you should worry about is flying debris

Since that shit will tear right through it

[odd sparrow]

that is true actually

[storm jungle]

Actually one example i like

its form Wolfenstein 2 where the nazis make an anti-gravity base on venus

and it looks cool af ngl

[odd sparrow]

might be a lil better on mars then, once it has an actual atmosphere to burn that stuff up. if it's on an asteroid u gotta make it inside the asteroid

[odd sparrow]

! post

[peak hamlet]

I love how they just armoured up the iss on the side that is most likely to get hit by small debris

[odd sparrow]

fancy af

[peak hamlet]

Holy fuck

Evil cloud city

[storm jungle]

YE BOI

[odd sparrow]

i love the giant megaphones

[peak hamlet]

It just looks sick af

[dim totem]

i thought that was from iron sky for a sec

[storm jungle]

Meanwhile 40k

"idk just stick a church somewhere"

[peak hamlet]

Wolfenstein nazis look a million times better than irl nazis

[peak hamlet]

Yes? Where is the problem dilly? We stan gothic architecture on this server

[storm jungle]

I dont

and Im an architect

GET THAT SHIT OUTTA 'EEERE

[visual pumice]

i also find it really boring when it's everywhere

[peak hamlet]

Gonna ping the mods to remove u now

Sorry dilly

[storm jungle]

[visual pumice]

i would not like to live in Yahrnam

[peak hamlet]

Nooo

[odd sparrow]

gothic architecture has hole rights

[storm jungle]

also spikes

[visual pumice]

pardon

[odd sparrow]

why did we ever stop making it

[peak hamlet]

I..

[storm jungle]

KJSDKSJ

[peak hamlet]

Do not bone the big church

[odd sparrow]

bold of u to assume the big church isn't topping

[peak hamlet]

AAAAA you are making it worse

[visual pumice]

all the graghoyles

[odd sparrow]

oh that's hot actually

[visual pumice]

gargoyles?

[dim totem]

wdym

whats wrong with you

[peak hamlet]

Ikr?

[storm jungle]

As ratty said it looks ugly when overused

one of 40k's biggest downsides is everyone thinks everything should look gothic

it ruins the other factions

[dim totem]

but yeah

[storm jungle]

and people think they "dont fit in"

[odd sparrow]

it's kinda overused in 40k tho yeah

[peak hamlet]

Confusing atlas with ratty smh my head

[odd sparrow]

like. there should be more aesthetics in the setting than just space gothic

[dim totem]

At one point i wanna start building lil buildings out of scrap but

[odd sparrow]

space gothic is original and cool but

[dim totem]

im not sure what i should be going for

[storm jungle]

Tau are the ones that suffer most from this because people dont like the way they look when them looking unique is kinda the point

[visual pumice]

i honestly think imperial ships look a bit dumb

[storm jungle]

same goes with Van Saar etc

[peak hamlet]

I like space church

[odd sparrow]

lmao yeah

[storm jungle]

https://c.tenor.com/pyGugHcm4XcAAAAS/michael-scott-the-office.gif

[peak hamlet]

Hives are sick too but not really gothic architecture

[odd sparrow]

imperial ships mostly look solid, but they can be v overdesigned

[storm jungle]

^

I love overly designed imp ships

because all it takes

is one ram

and all that shit is fucked

lmao

[peak hamlet]

Eh its drip > function

[visual pumice]

i hate the word drip

[odd sparrow]

i do like the depictions which are less ostentatious

as in like,,, pls fewer random ass giant statues

[visual pumice]

the unironic use of the word drip should be outlawed

[odd sparrow]

u do realise that this thing is several km long

[peak hamlet]

Oh yeah 100% agree

[odd sparrow]

statues should not be that big

[peak hamlet]

Exactly

Also like big horns or skulls on chaos ships

[visual pumice]

i mean the design of imp ships is iconic, you aren't going to get them confused with anything else. but having a literal church on the back looks silly to me

[peak hamlet]

Like do you realize how fucking big that would be irl??

[storm jungle]

FOUND IT

[odd sparrow]

it should feel like a city in space on a platform. Like, cus that's what it is, not super decorated like irl ships are

[storm jungle]

this is a fanmade commission but

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/aaacb5e1-b8cd-4c91-aec9-e6f9c95c072e/deqkt58-19be54ad-34c6-445c-8320-76101ec7b469.jpg/v1/fill/w_979,h_816,q_70,strp/rogue_trader_ship_by_lordcarmi_deqkt58-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTAwMDAiLCJwYXRoIjoiXC9mXC9hYWFjYjVlMS1iOGNkLTRjOTEtYWVjOS1lNmY5Yzk1YzA3MmVcL2RlcWt0NTgtMTliZTU0YWQtMzRjNi00NDVjLTgzMjAtNzYxMDFlYzdiNDY5LmpwZyIsIndpZHRoIjoiPD0xMjAwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.zU1tiUuXEgxg09M7_rvRQDzIkA3rXsAEX-ROy0cqJ6Y

look at this shit

[barren tapir]

Imagine what can be done with all that material, but nope, lets do a fucking giant statue

[peak hamlet]

Eh i kinda like the "gothic towers everywhere" aestetic

[odd sparrow]

i do like those designs but they are SUPER dumb lol

thanks BFGA

[peak hamlet]

Uhh..

[odd sparrow]

pain

[peak hamlet]

No offense but..

I hate it

[odd sparrow]

also why can you walk on the top

[barren tapir]

That is why Ad. Mech. ships are better imo, no dumb statues and dumb prowns

[visual pumice]

That looks too much like a boat but i dig the clean hull

[storm jungle]

https://www.deviantart.com/lordcarmi/art/Rogue-Trader-Ship-891167372

[odd sparrow]

mm yes i shall enjoy the scenic views

[storm jungle]

Deviantart for ultra HD

[odd sparrow]

in my suit

[peak hamlet]

I hate the big statues on them, just stick to towers and domes pls

[odd sparrow]

yee

[visual pumice]

can't top star destroyers anyway

all other ships are invalid

[barren tapir]

No

Star destroyers bad

[storm jungle]

just turn this cannon

and topple like

[barren tapir]

The venator ones were nice

[storm jungle]

10 statues

[visual pumice]

[storm jungle]

[barren tapir]

God, like the imperator somnium that had titans for turrets lol

[odd sparrow]

my god that is overdesigned

impressive art

but still

[storm jungle]

Yaeh the art is great

the ship is just

jesus

[barren tapir]

So much wasted material

[odd sparrow]

a single piece of space junk shaves the heads off three statues

[barren tapir]

It is a crime against mankind

[peak hamlet]

Tbf the renaissance aestetic doesnt work well with 40k ships in general

Imo

[storm jungle]

ENOUGH WITH THE STATUES

[barren tapir]

I think that GW need to make the ships less dumb

[dim totem]

looks like the local mayor's office

[visual pumice]

if they were going for like

buildings retrofitted into ships i can dig it

[dim totem]

https://www.steden.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/stadhuis-298x447.jpg

[odd sparrow]

also one pet peeve i have with 40k ship stuff is how they are frequently depicted entering the atmosphere proper

like, going near the ground

sir just. gravity. stop that

[storm jungle]

^

[visual pumice]

i don't think any scifi setting has done that right though

[odd sparrow]

if u want to go down to the ground you should have specialised dropships for that, or you can maybe be fitted for it if it's quite a smol ship

[storm jungle]

the only thing that brings this up as a problem is when the Empeor's flagship changes the tidal stuff on Ullanor during its arival

[barren tapir]

What do you mean? Don'y you believe that a KM long ship with useless material on top of it cannot escape the gravity of a planet??!! AH!

[barren tapir]

In lore they have them... Quite a few patterns actually, but eh, artists

[odd sparrow]

hell yeah they have, the expanse does it fine. usually ships dock in orbit and then the ppl take dropships down, when the protags gunship needs to go down to a planet it's explicitly described as having been modified to make the drop

with it landing with its thrusters pointing to the ground like an irl rocket

[storm jungle]

Its kind of why I prefer eldar ships more, just frigates in space with solar sails vrrrrr

[visual pumice]

i mean more like

Jedda

[odd sparrow]

what's a jedda

[storm jungle]

oh god

is that the planet that had the star destroyer docked ontop

[odd sparrow]

oh yeah

that was,, grim

cool looking!

but grim

[barren tapir]

Dumb

[visual pumice]

yeah

[barren tapir]

That was dumb

[visual pumice]

looks rad as fuck

no u

[storm jungle]

I mean

a star destroyer barely covers half a U.S state

it wouldnt cause planetary problems

[barren tapir]

Correct, that mean that i can recognize what is dumb

[odd sparrow]

they're- definitely not that big

[storm jungle]

Yeee

[barren tapir]

They were under the F rocks!!!

[odd sparrow]

there are other SW spaceships for that ridiculousness

i dont have the copypasta but

im invoking it

[peak hamlet]

I love smol city on beeg ship

[visual pumice]

comfy

[peak hamlet]

Idk if dicord scales it down or anything

[odd sparrow]

it's a v cosy aesthetic

[peak hamlet]

I love star destroyers!!

[atomic pelican]

One must love scale

[storm jungle]

jesus christ

lmao

[peak hamlet]

Bruh

[odd sparrow]

i assume eldar have dumb space magic that they dont have issues with like,, gravity and such

[storm jungle]

Yeah i was gonna say

[odd sparrow]

cus that's v firmly in planetoid territory

[atomic pelican]

The craftworlds are so big that they generate gravity

[peak hamlet]

I legit thought the starkiller base was like earth sized

[atomic pelican]

Thats literally it

[storm jungle]

Also like

this is the biggest eldar ship

[odd sparrow]

for reference like

[storm jungle]

here it is next to a craftworld

[dim totem]

i actually did not know what a craftworld looked like

[peak hamlet]

Big city ship

[atomic pelican]

Craftworlds range from like, continent to moon sized

[dim totem]

i somehow expected it to be more

spherical

[storm jungle]

They all look different

[atomic pelican]

Or planetoid

[odd sparrow]

ceres is uhhh i think the smallest spherical object in the system? or one of the smoller, and it's that big

[peak hamlet]

They all look different

[storm jungle]

And yeah it has "world" in its name for a reason

[odd sparrow]

it could prolly fit inside a craftworld looking at that gfsdho

[dim totem]

ok

[dim totem]

ok

[storm jungle]

yeee

[odd sparrow]

U know

they all actually look different

[peak hamlet]

CRABSHIP

[storm jungle]

oh my god iyanden lmao

WHY

[atomic pelican]

Craftworlds are sometimes described as having entire oceans in their biodomes

[odd sparrow]

🦀

[storm jungle]

its like they were asking to be invaded by nids

[odd sparrow]

fhkasdjz

[atomic pelican]

Crab shaped iyanden

[odd sparrow]

enemy bug located

there can only be one

[storm jungle]

read that as "gay of nightmares" for a second

[odd sparrow]

it's me

[visual pumice]

DONT GO THROUGH IT

[odd sparrow]

im the gay of nightmares

[smoky mauve]

I know they do the webway thing but all i can think about is a car trying to fit in a too small tunnelneith that warp gate

[storm jungle]

Haha

Yeah man eldar sizes are wacky

[atomic pelican]

Yee, most webway links are too small for craftworlds

[smoky mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/butt-tunnel-train-hit-sex-gif-4906156

[odd sparrow]

who the FUCK is playing music im gonna kill them

[smoky mauve]

This gif explicitly lmao

[odd sparrow]

it's 2pm wear headphones you virgin fuck

[peak hamlet]

God i hate ppl that play music in public

Also gw please get some space experts and some lore writers and give us proper sizes for the ships

[odd sparrow]

there's one dude in my accom that like. u know how ppl meme about doomguy just emanating the doom ost wherever he goes. it's like that but it's shitty pop songs

loudly

[atomic pelican]

The worst is noise terrorists with strong bass systems in their car

[atomic pelican]

All in BFG and the ttrpgs

Esp rogue trader

[final spruce]

Once again the ttrpg are superior

[peak hamlet]

We got like "very big" "absolutely massive" "the size of a moon(???)" ect ect

[peak hamlet]

No i mean like

[atomic pelican]

Rogue trader has actual dimensions

[peak hamlet]

Phalanx

Ect

[final spruce]

Also yeah the RT book has actual dimensions

[storm jungle]

I got the charts for all the faction ships and they're all accurate but expectedly fanmade since GW doesnt give a shit lmao

[peak hamlet]

Yee and thats why i want gw to give us proper sizes

Everything is just speculation

[storm jungle]

they wont because lazy

and nah it isnt

i helped make these, its all from BFG

[odd sparrow]

GW doesn't do standardised canon fluff-anything

ever

[barren tapir]

GW is a coward then

[final spruce]

Always have been

[peak hamlet]

Like

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Furious_Abyss

???

I just want to know how big it is sobs

[eternal ledge]

Oh god I remember reading about that ship in the book then finding out they were canonizing the old ships from their first space game

[dim totem]

as big as your imagination is

[eternal ledge]

https://youtu.be/-ZKHxPMOnSM

[storm jungle]

@peak hamlet Okay i think its done

Time to store this lmao

[peak hamlet]

Based

[dim totem]

ok now im just more confused

[peak hamlet]

No wait

They are still too big i think

[odd sparrow]

yee the imp should still prolly be like half the height

[plucky moth]

God 40k scale lmao

[peak hamlet]

The warlord is about 32 meters or so and the base of the statue of liberty is about 50 meters

[smoky mauve]

I like the first one.... it makes more sense to me

[peak hamlet]

Yee dilly based it around the canon heights of them

[odd sparrow]

warlord is listed at uh. 30 metresish and the eiffel tower is 300

so it should be SMOL

[peak hamlet]

Yee

[smoky mauve]

Dilly coming in clutch with nice aesthetics

[dim totem]

the eiffel tower is how big

[peak hamlet]

(Sry for cparring on ur work dilly)

[storm jungle]

lmao nah its fine

brb

🏃‍♀️

[peak hamlet]

324 meters

[dim totem]

wat

[odd sparrow]

to make up for napoleon's lack of height

[dim totem]

i thought it was like 80m or sth

[odd sparrow]

wh

[peak hamlet]

No wait

[odd sparrow]

no it's big

[dim totem]

reminds me of our old dorm

we had a view of this tower

[peak hamlet]

No right its is big

[dim totem]

and did a quiz about how tall it was

it was like 80m

[odd sparrow]

sir it was a massive deal in like the 1880s if it was only 80m it would not have been such a huge deal

[plucky moth]

Someone grabbed my ass on the Eiffel tower

[dim totem]

one of the girls: 21m

[odd sparrow]

[peak hamlet]

Lmfao

[plucky moth]

[dim totem]

to this day im confused as to how she got that number

[peak hamlet]

Did you see who it was?

[plucky moth]

No....I turned and there was just an old lady behind me

[peak hamlet]

Sus

[odd sparrow]

,, yikes

[glad prism]

I think I remember seeing someone get groped on the Eiffel Tower

[peak hamlet]

Old lady likes musketeer butt

[dim totem]

popular groping locale

[peak hamlet]

Still uncool move

[plucky moth]

I thought it was a pickpocket but uh they copped a proper feel so idk

[odd sparrow]

gross

[plucky moth]

It’s very crowded up there so I suppose it’s a risk

[glad prism]

This sounds like like inadvisable technique to pickpocket someone, like some frat kid's guide to pickpocketing someone

[dim totem]

yeah idk

i feel like the entire point of pickpocketing is not being noticed

[glad prism]

"Grope them so they think you're being a creep but you actually stole their wallet."

[glad prism]

Hence the frat kid's guide bit

[odd sparrow]

im paranoid and i keep my stuff in a backpack at all times, except my phone which i keep my hand on as much as possible

[dim totem]

then again the only thing i ever pickpocketed was my mom's car keys so i could put them in mouth

tasted p bad

[odd sparrow]

keeping my wallet in my pocket would be like

cmon

[dim totem]

i feel like a backpack is less safe

[odd sparrow]

SMALLER but it gets the point across

got the warhound

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[odd sparrow]

baby

[peak hamlet]

I just keep it in my front pockets, doubt anybody will manage to take it, i wear skinny jeans (which isnt skintight thx to me being too skinny)

[glad prism]

Car keys don't taste good? Ruined all the expectations I had for trying it myself, damn.

[storm jungle]

I cant anymore, the warhound is gonna be a dot at this point

[dim totem]

i think you should make them a bit smaller

[storm jungle]

nyooooo

[dim totem]

im p sure warhounds are guardsman sized

[glad prism]

Just shrink the text itself

[storm jungle]

Microsoft Paint doesnt like pixels 😔

Ooooh. Really? Hmm. Guess I gotta look em up

[glad prism]

Steppe horses weren't anything quite as big as European destriers

[odd sparrow]

[plucky moth]

Steppe horses were designed for mobility rather than power

[dim totem]

Fuck that one looks stupid

[dim totem]

its a crap statue

[odd sparrow]

this one does look p dumb tho

[glad prism]

Looks an awful lot like corporate art styles made religious and rendered in a three dimensional space but with none of the liveliness or vibrant colours

Seems fitting enough

[smoky mauve]

Is.... is that a machine gun position on the front of Mary's robe?

[odd sparrow]

EXACTLY

[plucky moth]

Only Kurzgesagt could make such an art style likable and completely it's own brand

[odd sparrow]

this man is having a gun pointed at him

[dim totem]

Practically scared the melanin out of him there if that were the case
