Just had the weirdest bug happen to me.
Usually i quickswapp weapons with scrolling the mouse wheel in the middle of my mouse. And it worked for all matches prior to just a normal auric damnation match in which i had to manually press q everytime. And yes, my mouse worked then, everything went back to normal and functioned like there had been an issue. Also i opened word just to scroll in an Text document to check, and yes, that works. So yeah, weird bug. Never read about it before.

Writer difference, not much beyond that.
Authors not keeping character personalities in a matching manner is a pretty big complaint with most of the 30k novels to some degree so its nothing new.

WAIT WAIT
Unmarked by Dan Abnett picks up the story of Oll Persson and his band where Know No Fear (Novel) left off, following them on a journey through time, space and Oll's own past. Using Warp portals cut by the athame to move between locations and following the mysterious winds of the aether, Oll and his band journey through swamps, woods and empty cities on their way towards an unknown goal, pursued by M'kar. The story is replete with references to history, from Oll's journey as one of the Argonauts to his fighting in the battles of Verdun and 73 Easting. M'kar dogged Persson's footsteps across several planets and time periods (appearing sporadically throughout human history, such as at the Siege of Verdun in 1916M2).

forest spruce
Devistation of baal kinda confused me near the end
forest spruce
I mean more about timeline stuff. Like I know the warp can kinda twist time but
Like parts of the book take place before the rift and some take place what feels like years later despite the fact we kinda know how long the invasion takes place because characters talk about it
tall phoenix
Yeah its mostly just the author not largely paying attention
royal egret
No it was just done prior to the timeline change
Mostly stuff was easy to shift but now thereās an issue with that one
They still havenāt fully resolved it
tall phoenix
Yeah so not paying attention.
But anyway yeah its mostly handwaveable so its not a huge deal, though I get the confusion.
paper maple
Man I remember reading Devastation of Baalz when it came out, I didnt think much of it once it was over though lol
tall phoenix
I think its a fun book but yeah basically just doesnt largely have anything of consequence like most marine novels.
Everyone loses 90% of their strenght only to get it instantly refilled
paper maple
Yeah not like they should take permanent damage but I did find the classic convenience funny.
tall phoenix
Tbh the best part of the book is the dumbass Memefisto trapping almost the entirety of the fucking librarius underground for a majority of the novel
paper maple
God that part was hilarious
It really is probably the most annoying part of the novel for me
tall phoenix
Same, but I guess it fits his jojo character archetype
paper maple
True. If Mephiston was out there he'd probably solo the entire hivefleet over orbit
tall phoenix
Hes a Malcador level psyker at this point so theres not too much of a limit lol
paper maple
Yeah its why I didnt like his novel all that much
I pre-ordered it because I was in a Blood Angels grindset at the time since I kinda didnt have anything else to read.
royal egret
Yeah so not paying attention.
He was, but after the novel came out then they did a huge retcon to the timeline which removed a 100ish year gap, or whatever it was. Which understandably made some books a little wonky.
Spears of the Emperor is another which is kinda weird now.

The za warudo one takes the cake but I dunno I guess it comes with the territory.

in how many years did all this happen

The timey whimey stuff is Guilliman crossing the Gauntlet as the rift opens

Its not the best
but it at least attempts to make a workable timeline
just CTRL + F search for anyone you might find in there lol

Because heās at Baal shortly after the rift opens for them
When he wasnāt even awake yet

I wont be really surprised if they just ignore that tbh.
Not like anyone really cares.

I wouldn't say this is even a time travel issue. The Gauntlet storyline is just what has happened before him reaching Nihilus, which he will do after, or has done in other books. Different stories have just been at different times, there's no reason for time travel to be even factored here

This is a subtle reference to how awful british food is as british hooligans are what inspired the orks.
the satire goes deep
Sorry british """food"""

they are monsters made for battle and fighting so they are made to be not picky about their food and even make their own food source

they are monsters made for battle and fighting so they are made to be not picky ...

too bad batman 2 is taking forever
Theyāre busy filming him walking slowly
tall phoenix
batman... forever...
AAUGGHGH
wise yew
Im glad he has crawled out of the ditch Twilight dug him in
Yep I thought twilight hit him with career suicide but apparently just like GW character he found a way to come back
royal egret
I liked his Batman but, jfc
tall phoenix
Yeah people forget there was like a time where he was just a "joke" actor
which is legit terrible
royal egret
We donāt need to spend 20 minutes of the runtime with slow walking
zinc crystal
hes always been a good actor, hes done a lot of obscure indie films that are pretty good
royal egret
Yeah
drowsy urchin
The Batman was so fuckgin good HHNGh
royal egret
Good Time was great
tall phoenix
DUNNNNN
drowsy urchin
somethingg in my ass
wise yew
The Batman was so fuckgin good HHNGh
Jerk just came from saying that i am 100% sure
zinc crystal
yeah penguin show is fuckin nuts
royal egret
I didnāt like the Riddler though, heās not terrible but idk
tall phoenix
I mean
royal egret
Felt try hardy
royal egret
He did make funny memes though
zinc crystal
"MAAAAA WHAT ARE YA DOIN MAAAAAA"- Colin Farrel folks.
royal egret
So thereās that
drowsy urchin
Riddler was an excellent modern version of him
zinc crystal
hes magnificent
tall phoenix
also its hard to top crotch-bulge Jim Carry riddler
royal egret
Idk what I would have done differently but
royal egret
Something more
wise yew
look at him lol
he looks like jeffrey dahmer trying his hardest not to skin someone
tall phoenix
Something more
He basically needed more serious scenes
Ironically him being pathetic/funny works but like yeah
tall phoenix
Thats kinda the thing though like
it seems funny but if i was in that room id legit be creeped out
royal egret
Idk, the issue is itās trying to be a super serious movie
tall phoenix
so its a bit of the disconnect as audience i think
royal egret
And then he shows up
tall phoenix
Also that lol
royal egret
He needed more menace as you say so itās not funny
tall phoenix
Batman movies that try to be serious are usually too afraid of the camp
royal egret
And just creepy
tall phoenix
yeah like the first scene where he murders that guy
like that legit was fucking spooky
then he sings ave maria....
š
royal egret
I hope theyāre gonna do Mr Freeze like is rumored
tall phoenix
Man i hope not
Freeze is cool (guh) but like
its hard to do him in a serious way lol
zinc crystal
arnolds mr freeze is timeless
zinc crystal
also they are gonna do mr freeze seriously by leaning into his ambiguity with his wife saviour thing
or try to at least
zinc crystal
but arnold says, " CHILL" in arnolds voice, thats timeless
royal egret
also they are gonna do mr freeze seriously by leaning into his ambiguity with hi...
Tbh itās generally always been a thing that his wife isnāt happy with what heās doing if she even becomes aware
zinc crystal
tall phoenix
Nah thats a new intention im 99% sure
royal egret
The point isnāt that heās doing what she would want
tall phoenix
well KIND OF
Wait yeah I mixed it up
there was that new comic run where his wife actually wanted to divorce him lol
royal egret
Dummy
drowsy urchin
Listen up Batman, my wife left me
royal egret
Yeah I donāt like all that stuff, it kinda removes whatās interesting about him
tall phoenix

ARKHAM CITY FREEZE GANG RISE UP
sorry the only arkham guy i respect is batman for his arkham special https://youtu.be/3mlCnDAAu-c?si=pFYHXc4dbD4J_srF
royal egret
I like that he has a somewhat noble cause, but obviously isnāt a good person
tall phoenix
Its better with how Arkham Knight does it, where she doesnt wanna be a popsicle, she'd rather live the rest of her days with him instead which is much more fucking sad and poignant
royal egret
Yeah I loved his ending
royal egret
Having her tell him to let go
zinc crystal
no nora would disapprove, and he actually would stop if she woke up and told him to, problem is he tends to go killing folks to try and cure her, and batman stops him
royal egret
Also ultimately he probably canāt cure her ever
tall phoenix
but he basically has his wife and nothing else
royal egret
Heās always holding onto that hope but itās not real
tall phoenix
and yeah that too, its a plot thing so we can have more comics which I get. Its the same as how Batman's villains always need to escape and literal pedos like Hatter just always get away scot free
well that and no execution sentence in gotham lol
I want one universe where its a thing just so batman can be like
"Sorry guys its out of my hands."
Joker gets fried
everyone clapped
wise yew
well that and no execution sentence in gotham lol
Like Batman has made it himself clear that it's up to the government if they get executed or get locked up but you see arkham asylum
is a very funny business venture
tall phoenix
Yeah that too lol
Bruce trying to fix a city like gotham?
IN THIS ECONOMY?
ā Gonna have to stop you there richboy
wise yew
Yeah that too lol
yeah and that's the annoying part his way of bringing in criminals and letting the government judge him can work if the mythical government that actually isn't corrupt exists
royal egret
Mr Freezeās new motivation is he hates Nirvana and wants Batman to stop blasting it all the time
wise yew
but that's the problem gotham government is funny
royal egret
Or at least change the song
drowsy urchin
Mr Freezeās new motivation is he hates Nirvana and wants Batman to stop blasting...
royal egret
https://tenor.com/view/somethings-in-my-ass-gif-26398340
Also ffs can Selina and Bruce just fuck
zinc crystal
also mr freeze aside, the next movie is confirmed to be like in winter gotham, and I just wanna see it for that alone, because the first batman movie had gorgeous cinematography of what a grimy hellscape gotham truly is
drowsy urchin
NOoo
zinc crystal
do clayface
zinc crystal
where he was used as a punching back to hype up the joker
royal egret
drowsy urchin
Arkham Origins more like Arkham I'mFuckingBoringins
drowsy urchin
extremely buggy too
zinc crystal
knight is more fun
royal egret
zinc crystal
at least once they fixed the bugs
royal egret
It did have this though
tall phoenix
best boss fight
royal egret
Which was great
zinc crystal
also yeah I was gonna say
Origins made a point of batman being more brutal, because hes early on in his career
royal egret
The Deathstroke boss fight was great
wise yew
Origins is fun
https://youtu.be/trnPpNn_2NA?si=B6NfSqoXB0Wg0D9_ OK now I know Arkham Batman is OD for DC but on the marvel side it isn't any better with insomniac spider-man

Now I'm unsure what to read. Do I continue torturing myself with more dawn of fire
wise yew
Why do you even do that
some people, some of them, just want to suffer
drowsy urchin
Listened through Throne of Light in January and it was decent I suppose. I kinda wanna catch up on the series before Silent King drops
tall phoenix
The problem with Dawn of Fire is more that almost every book is just mid/fine
which is genuinely such a weird thing because its once a blue moon where the book reading community actually comes to a consensus on some novels lol
the general complaint is mostly just the novels largely adding nothing to the narrative of the Indomitus Crusade
drowsy urchin
Think the Whatever of Bones was the best one, and I can't even remember it's proper name
The second one
Gate of Bones
reef nacelle
This doesn't sound positive, I have this series sitting in my audible library
Is the Dark Imperium series any better?
drowsy urchin
It is, though it also has a couple dull moments
tall phoenix
Think the Whatever of Bones was the best one, and I can't even remember it's pro...
š¤
drowsy urchin
and I mean, the Dawn of Fire series hasn't been offensively bad at least what I've read/listened
tall phoenix
Yeah its not terrible its just dull
Like I had my friend read that one Navy book from it
and he was like
"wait this is suppose to be about the Indomitus Crusade?"
"I thought it was just some random book"
tall phoenix
Is the Dark Imperium series any better?
Its "better" but has some really good scenes intermixed with marine bolterporn
if you can put up with it, read it
drowsy urchin
think it's more so about somewhat related events during the crusade rather than the crusade itself, like you follow people who were involved in the main crusade but never any actual crusading
tall phoenix
Yeah thats the general issue
reef nacelle
"I thought it was just some random book"
The random books that have nothing to do with the main 40k stuff seem to be better anyway
reef nacelle
š£ļø
drowsy urchin
no yelling in the library
tall phoenix
Im the librarian I'll allow it
drowsy urchin
bad librarian....
drowsy urchin
it was a statement of fact!
tall phoenix
shut up!
reef nacelle
It's the black library, what are the eldar going to do? Cry about their dying race
tall phoenix
But yeah Dawn of War I MEAN Fire FUCK is just whatever
the Silent King book is literally the only one im looking forward to atm
like Jerk said I maybe only enjoyed Gate of Boners and thats about it
shy lark
remind me how is jon flindall as an author
shy lark
Cold Vigil is vaguely tempting me š
forest spruce
Wait there's a silent king book coming out?
shy lark
I just thought I remembered someone mentioning him here once so why not ask

like Jerk said I maybe only enjoyed Gate of Boners and thats about it
I know I'm a freak of nature that enjoyed wolftime
tall phoenix
I know I'm a freak of nature that enjoyed wolftime
Boooo!
tall phoenix
Wait there's a silent king book coming out?
Kinda, its Dawn of Fire related
forest spruce
Boooo!
I guess I just like wolftime because that primaries who yeeted himself out of an aircraft because he was getting tessed
tall phoenix
*sigh* so I guess I should read the next book
You very much do not have to do
just read summaries
why do you do this to yourself!!!
forest spruce
Idk because I'm bored and idk what else to read
tall phoenix
WARHAMMER CRIME
forest spruce
Wot
tall phoenix
its Crime but in Warhammer
I can also recommend Renegades: Harrowmaster
if you want some chaos marines memery, its also by Mike Brooks so instant W
tall phoenix
Same, Mike is one of my favs because he very much does not take 40k seriously
hes very much aware of how goofy this universe can get lol
Harrowmaster literally has a scene where during a conclave meeting one AL marine goes "Im Alpharius"
And everyone is like
"Shut the fuck up"
forest spruce
Oh that's were that's from
tall phoenix
Yeah the book is very fun like most of his novels
highly recommend if you want a break from Imperial douchebaggery and instead want some chaos douchebaggery
forest spruce
I just want some necron douchbaggery
But apparently that's asking too much of the universe

mortis is mid
i like the olly parts but i do not care about muh knights and muh god machines
