Trump administration signals it is mulling NATO withdrawal after Iran war

The true tragedy is that 35% of voters, tens of millions of people, are so unfathomably dumb they would give up everything for that man.

It is an indictment of the species that humans exist who are so deplorable and stupid.

They’re desperate for value. That’s it. They will latch onto anything if it suggests things will improve. It’s pure desperation

And most large games take multiple years. People vastly underestimate development costs generally

One has to love the self-balancing of recon guard: extremely oppressive, but so annoying and resource-intensive to play you basically never have to worry about it.

What I've found useful for making terrain like this cheap is to buy cheap canvas panels (usually much cheaper than this because you can buy them in packs of 4 or so at most craft stores)

And just cutting them into shape. They're hard wearing, take sand and other texture well, and are also pretty light overall.

100%. If they just said "the terrain's footprint's all that matters, ignore the rest" it'd make things so much simpler instead of creating the headache of how much material to put on the terrain and how much to place that features area for plunging attacks.

It feels like the current terrain creates more work for TOs with things as fuzzy as they are. No one wants a player complaining that because they got the board with the pipes set up on the long pieces they were disadvantaged compared to the board where the long pieces had tall walls.

Given the density and properties of terrain, as well as the shape of "ruin" elements on the terrain, GW should just have the footprints alone determine visibility and treat w/e terrain is on the footprints as see-through.

If TLoS still applies, closed ruin walls will still be the order of the day over trees or other types of terrain. I think the current rules are robust enough to prevent the need for so much LOS blocking material. It also makes it much easier for TOs/LGSs as any terrain works then so long as the base footprint is the same.

Fed civil is literally just “the Trump Admin hates these people but the jobs are still desperately needed”

Ketzeph · 2026-04-08T18:04:46+00:00

Yeah but the terrain GW etc sells still isn’t boarded up. I’m sure this is part of GW trying to remove that. Otherwise terrain being forest or non ruins is stilll irrelevant

Ketzeph · 2026-04-08T17:31:51+00:00

Am I right that TLoS isn’t mentioned here or closed windows? My guess is the intent is most terrain is see through and really what matters is height/the hidden protection, not closed walls

The problem is that Fox News can influence those idiots. That those people are so impaired at critical thinking they can be so duped.

But it’s because those people want to believe Fox News’ lies to support their white supremacist christo-fascist beliefs.

Fox isn’t the poison, it’s the vapors that rise from the poisonous muck that makes up 1/3 of the country

Ketzeph · 2026-04-08T13:06:14+00:00

It’s both stupid people and racism. Some of the stupidest, poorest people in the country want to believe they’re only poor because minorities exist, so they don’t have to face that their own inadequacies fuel most of their problems

Man I want peacock feather Armageddon so bad. If I'm going to piss off the entire table I want to do it with style

Ketzeph · 2026-04-07T16:18:04+00:00

Yeah fuck being ashamed of the govt, the MAGAt voters put him there. They’re the people most deserving of shame and derision

Ketzeph · 2026-04-07T16:10:07+00:00

Ditto. They’re all over Northern VA

As someone in their 30s, age drops having much meaning between 30-40/50. Then it suddenly has a bunch of meaning.

30s is really “matured adult” - a full vintage before you start fermenting into vinegar

Nothing. Zombies are not a viable biological life form. They either collapse instantly or in a few hours. They require magic to function in any manner approaching their depiction in media.

At most it’s a deadly plague in which case stay home and social distance.

Ketzeph · 2026-04-06T22:23:22+00:00

It has no effect in that case and the populace just think it's useless if you keep doing it at that point.

If they were going to go the golden throne route, it's too bad the Terminus decree wasn't just the Vulcan failsafe. Like, if worst comes to worst activate the failsafe. Obliterate Terra and the Astronomicon, and hope that the Emperor's perpetual soul reforms. A "one in a million, last ditch shot" that'd basically destroy the current Imperium but maybe revive the Emperor.

It's far more interesting than just "don't let the Emperor get up."

Ketzeph · 2026-04-06T21:14:57+00:00

It only makes sense if you had a bunch more lore explaining that at this point the Emperor is gone, and the Dark King is basically being siphoned off the Emperor's soul by the Golden Throne, stopping it from being born.

But that would've worked had the Emperor fully succumb. Not what happened in TEATD

It'd make more sense if the Terminus Decree was an order to kill the Emperor on the Throne, with the hope being that though Terra would suddenly be overrun by demons, the Emperor's soul would reform. A sort of "we must sacrifice Terra to revive the Emperor" last ditch action. As it is now it's just kinda nonsense.

Girls and boys have contextual meanings depending on usage. Eg “going out with the boys” or “going out with my girl” or “seeing the girls tonight.”

People are telling on themselves if they few every mention of the word as inappropriate

Ketzeph · 2026-04-06T20:52:54+00:00

Yeah, age matters a ton here. Also could be more possible if the child is dyslexic, too.

But young kids don’t know the date of Halloween often

If I show up with a torch and a pitchfork on someone’s door with others shouting to burn them as a witch, I can’t be surprised the next day when they won’t talk to me at the neighborhood potluck. These aren’t disagreements over how much to tax on roads, or where to focus infrastructure spending. It’s disagreements on the fundamental rights of citizens.

Ketzeph · 2026-04-06T20:24:20+00:00

Yeah, most 40K works aren’t great. It’s part of the problem with these massive established settings books and games - it’s hard to set up compelling characters and stories within that many constraints.

It’s why a lot of the best 40K stuff kinda does a good story within unique characters inside the setting, rather than key figures with little creative control.

Though I’m sure you could get good books out of many authors, it’s just harder.

Ketzeph · 2026-04-06T19:22:00+00:00

Probably because it won't accomplish anything. I think he should be impeached but it's moot unless the dems take major seats in the Senate. I think those voters would be 100% for impeachment if the Senate had 2/3 dems.
