Warhammer 40k

[Male Idiot]

The SM2 subreddit is my new personal cow. They're always screaming about something, and now that the games been out for a bit the super casuals/new comers are learning that *gasp* 40K is mostly made up of Gatekeepers and sweatlords and they cannot cope with this.

There's an event this weekend that's giving a whopping 50% extra currency for missions. Not only is this a pretty negligible increase on its own, like most percentage based increases on low numbers, there's really not that much to spend the currency on unless you're going for completion and maxxing every single class and all of their weapons choices. Which means a lot of people already have no use for credits. And the casuals see this as people no-lifing the game are being very defensive over the suggestion that maybe these events should offer some sort of cosmetic instead, because that would trigger their dreaded and made up FOMO.

Idk how these are the same people who claim this game reminds them of the golden years of Xbox live and shit. As soft and insecure as they are I don't believe they were ever involved in the online communities back then. As soon as they started whining about gatekeeping or missing out on an item they'd be called faggots until they rage quit.

As a PC gamer, I can say that FOMO shit can go suck ass. The only two things the game gives and you need is the weapon rarity tokens and XP. Both sides can be wrong here, the coins are useless but time locked no lifer cosmetics are even worse.

I was wondering, does the Imperium treat a planet's harmless or non-hostile fauna the same way it would dangerous xenos? Or does it only eradicate that which can pose a threat to human colonies?

Would it be heresy to, say, have a feudal world domesticate lower xenos as livestock or working animals? Or for a planet to just ignore wildlife that doesn't cause trouble?

I know "live and let live" isn't a thing in M41, and the Imperium has no qualms about ratfucking a planet's environment, but one would think they wouldn't waste resources on the xeno equivalents of squirrels or deer, unless grimderp dictates that all xeno life is inherently hostile.

They pretty much ignore aliens as long as they are not sentient or sapient if we want to akshually it. Alien animals are 100% Emperor approved. Some dangerous ones are kept for gladiator games, but most are just used like a regular Earth animal. But they do spread some terrans animals from time to time, sometimes unwillingly, like with rats.

So you can have alien squirrels and rats both. Yes yes, rat needs love-care manthing and spent rations too.

Nah, there's plenty of local livestock, pack animals, animals used as mounts, etc discussed in all sorts of 40k fiction, and even local plants as food sources even going so far as to develop entire agriworlds. The imperium itself doesn't necessarily go to a planet with the intent to ruin the existing environment, that's usually just a side effect of the population growth over time and invasions/wars/etc. You get quite a bit of this in things like the Ciaphas Cain books, the Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin series, and so on. Basically anything where "normal" life is depicted outside of combat and is a major part of the story.

Admech on the other hand will go to a planet specifically for particular resources and will try to mine the damned thing hollow if they can get away with it. They'll talk about terraforming, and will do it, but generally that's only because the imperium has bothered them about a world being strategic enough to do so, or they do it to make the planet have a breathable atmosphere for factory workers since that's potentially more efficient than continually augmenting everyone to be able to breathe whatever is in the atmosphere or not need to breathe at all(they will forcibly augment people if it's necessary for their job though).

Maybe it's just me but doesn't it seem like women gravitate towards Orks and Tyranids a lot? Something about ugly monsters is "cute" to them. They're not buying Sisters of Battle or Femstodes.

From what I've gathered yes something that literally wants to devour absolutely everything in the Galaxy women oh it's literally me

Huh, apparently the person with the lotara lore channel did post regarding the majorfaggot video in a pinned comment here

I don't think Gen. Z actually understand what plagiarism actually means don't apologise to closet homosexual men like major kill just make fun of them

 

[p1138]

Ugh, she's a majorkill fan

Apologizes for the plagiarism, sounds upset at being called AI, and then proceeds to fangirl over getting mentioned by majorkill. The bit with the cat(she doesn't show her face) and the overall audio in the video seem to not be AI because it's too dynamic and then she'd also need to fake speaking while filming her cat with a phone in a cramped hallway(the slight reverb).

tinfoil hat time: She did it intentionally and maybe even had a sock puppet account draw attention to the plagiarism so majorkill would notice, throw a fit, and then take the bump in traffic from the negative publicity/drama stirred up. I can't think of any reason she'd do that for one or two videos, and not all of them. Or leave those videos up after she started writing her own scripts.

There's something called "ugly cute" where it's not conventionally cute like a cat, but its "ugliness" works as an attractive quality in the eyes of some. Same reason why some like pugs and tarantulas.

My schizo take it's viral marketing, and they'll probably have a collab soon.

Lord have mercy, I'm breaking my two year painting hiatus with some HH Dark angels. These kitbashed bros will be the plasma flamer guys. (WIP)

That’s sick as hell, makes me wanna make a Kiwi space marines set

Yeah that's basically what I assumed with my tinfoil hat theory. I wouldn't call it a schizo take at all, the entire thing comes off as incredibly contrived. And if that's the case, then they both suck(well, majorfaggot was already annoying but this just means she's annoying from the start).

So they admit to having plagiarized majorkill's perturabo video, and claim they aren't AI and will prove it somehow.

Plagiarizing shit sucks however... majorkill basically does the same damned thing with his 3d printed minis and hentai, hasn't come up with a damned original thought at any point.

>plagiarizing lore.

Literally how. Majorkill just reads shit from a wiki, adds a few sex jokes, and calls that "original." Its like saying Roosterteeth plagiarized Halo with RvB. Every lore channel is derivative of GW's content, just because you spin some shit in a slightly different manner, or you add your dogshit opinion, doesnt make that any less true. I can not stand this fag.

I just checked, and Lotara put out this video: https://youtu.be/59bw-CLxFsU?

Turns out shes real. I also just learned that she has 8k subscribers. Why is majorkill even bothering. Anyone watching her over him is doing so because hes an annoying faggot, regardless of scripting.

They didn't buy female space marines either in rogue trader when GW sold them. The other people covered the ugly cute thing well enough. Femstodes isn't going to get more women into warhammer, and the people who do demand that shit have no money. Just look at AoS, women play AoS. Are they playing shit like female only models of stormcast? Fuck no. They're playing gloomspite gitz, seraphon, orks, nighthaunts, gravelords, nurgle, fucking fyreslayers even.

There's actually another thing going on besides the ugly cute bit. Women getting into hobbies and shit that aren't girly hobbies, don't necessarily want their shit to be "girly". Saw the same shit back in the 2010s where every gun company felt the need to make pink handguns and rifle accessories, hardly anyone bought the shit. Same thing with compound bows, recurves, and so on. Yes there are some women into that who do buy it, but the vast majority of them don't want some ugly looking pepto bismol or barbie pink shit, they just want stuff that fits their hands or whatever. Look at women into cars as a hobby, most of them aren't putting pink girly shit all over their cars either(the women who own a car purely as a daily driver and put pink rhinestone license plate frames on and shit are not the same as the ones who own a miata and go to track days and crap like that).

Because she was copying his script, he re-writes the shit he reads off of a wiki, doesn't just read the wiki word for word(that's a different shitty channel).

The cynic in me, and Guntkvd mentioned it above, believe it's possible the entire thing was bullshit to stir up drama, get the channel name out there, and boost her in the algorithm.

I was reading a particularly good fanfic and I was wondering on the status of the Emperors soul and how split apart it is. Is he fractured in any way like Magnus?

Also what's the deal with him giving pieces of his soul like imperial saints? Are there examples of people hooking pyskers up to him directly for a soul bonding?

And in a sunless realm, the sun rose at last.

The Master of Mankind has a scene where a young psyker channels him directly, IIRC. Not for long, mind you.

Nice, but did anybody physically hook up a psyker to the throne to get his (insanely painful) blessing or whatever?

Probably the most common meat available in the IoM is grox, a weird reptilian thing that can survive on just about anything and live just about anywhere and is surprisingly tasty and nutritious. You know, like pigs. Except even uglier and far more foul-tempered.

TL;DR: As far as the IoM is concerned wildlife is wildlife, and unless its a danger they've got bigger problems to worry about.

 

[Male Idiot]

Orks and pugs and football hooligans are all retardedly endearing (from a safe distance).

Remotely in Mechanicum. The short version is that the mechanicum pretended to not be inventing shit but they all were, including one magos or whatever who was looking to channel the akashic record from the ether into someone's brain to try and download all of the knowledge of the universe, and in doing so had developed a device that momentarily diverted the entire power output of the astronomicon momentarily from Earth into someone's head on Mars while the emperor was on the throne. It made a mess.

Normally astropaths get their eyes burned out, but it's never explicitly stated where that occurs in relation to the throne itself and doesn't even indicate that they enter the chamber that the throne is in to do so(the room has been described before, and recently the throne itself in some more detail. basically during the heresy era people were in the throne room regularly because they had to work on the thing as they were just getting it up and running, and of course kicking off the protocol to start using psykers as batteries in master of mankind because the emperor had some ass kicking to do in person but also in the siege of terra books because Vulkan, Malcador, and a bunch of others were there with few being able to get to the top of it. However there was another incident in on of the Watchers of the Throne novels where Valerian had been called up to basically become a member of the hetaeron guard, which are the custodians actually in the room with the emperor(I say room but it's more like massive chamber housing the top of the throne and even that's the size of a large building) but had to make the step through the door into the room which not all custodians could do, and he could not break past the psychic backwash or whatever to do it. However it's also entirely possible that the emperor was specifically willing him from not entering because he wanted Valerian to go do some other shit like working with the sisters of silence, kicking the shit out of the minotaurs chapter, helping Guilliman clean up the high lords of terra, and basically getting Trajann Valoris to make the decision that the custodes should finally get off their ass, ditch the black robes(or from old lore put their damned armor back on) and use the most advanced arsenal the emperor could put together, to get shit done for humanity in the galaxy.

I guess women like orks for the humor and tyranids for the scarycute factor. I've yet to see a woman interested in testosterone-poisoned space marines or guard, and sisters of battle probably give too much of a mean girls vibe. Or just that sisters of battle suck and barely anyone plays them?

They've been toward the top of the meta for most of 10th edition, with a pretty normal percentage(4-6%) of the playerbase in the past few months(meta chasers). Army-wide assault for all ranged weapons, and +1 strength within 12"(so think meltas and flamers) will do that for a detachment.

 

[demicolon]

But what about previous versions? Heard they used to suck due to sparse updates.

They've usually been fine and within the top half of the spread for basically... 4-5 years now since they finally got a codex again in 8th and had most of the model range revamped. But that gap of being shit wasn't an issue with sisters of battle, it was GW going multiple editions ignoring armies. Hell, orks got ignored for the entirety of 5th and 6th edition as well. Black Templars didn't get a codex after 4th till 9th. Necrons were skipped in 4th and 6th. Tyranids didn't get one for 7th. Yeah, people liked that from GW for some fucking reason.
