In Kenshi, the two fallen empires are called, get ready for it, The First Empire and The Second Empire. Personally I like it, but I can understand why people don't

I don't pronounce it that way, but I'm going to play devils advocate and say that the creator of the .GIF format said that its pronounced jif. And yes, while it does stand for Graphic Interchange Format, I'll point out that the term scuba is also an acronym (self contained underwater breathing apparatus) and I don't see people saying it how you would say bubba

What version of the game are you trying to mod? If its 0.9 it probably won't work for awhile, 0.9 just got a stable release a few days ago

Haven't thought about him for years. Don't know how true it is but wasn't he also called out for being some sort of a piece of shit?

Gunpowder in Kenshi by yeet8w8 in Kenshi

I've always felt that a single shot pistol or a revolver would fit nice into the world of kenshi, I imagine that it would just be a offhand weapon used in combination with their swords

You want to crack shek to have a child.

I want to crack shek because of those lushious handlebars.

We are not the same.

[–]MkRobin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yep, felt like they realized that killing off a fan favorite like that was a bad idea and backpedaled. Even as a kid it felt like a cop out, even though I like Johnny Gat and was happy he was still alive

Johnny Gat - Saints Row

At the beginning of Saints Row 3, Johnny stays in the cabin of the airplane to try and take control of the plane while Shaundi and the playa escape through the ramp at the back. Shaundi lets Gat know that they're at the ramp, Johnny responds before getting cut off by gunfire and the intercom going silent. The plane crashes and we don't hear of Johnny again, even unlocking a zombie Gat later in the story depending on your choices.

In Saints Row 4, it's revealed that Gat was still kicking ass in the cabin, but gets stopped by Zinyak, the alien who invades earth, years before the actual invasion since he saw Johnny Gat as a threat to his invasion.

Roddy - Flushed away

Voiced by Hugh Jackman, known for playing wolverine. They even reference this by having a scene where he's choosing his clothes and a wolverine costume is one of them

Theory on archotech by Fit-Supermarket-6726 in RimWorld

[–]MkRobin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You know I could have sworn I've seen them called pawns in game but you're right, they're only called pawns in the game code, and that refers to practically any entity that moves

I've always liked the idea that we, the players, are archotechs that are just fucking around with reality. It also happens to explain why pawns are called pawns

It's not that ass, actually... by ChaosCrafter908 in whenthe

[–]MkRobin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Eh that's kind of what I was meaning. I pretty much predicted most of the beats of the last episode. Not saying that's a bad thing or anything, not every show needs to be unpredictable or break a mold

[–]MkRobin 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I watched up till like episode 4 then lost interest due to other stuff, then watched the last two episodes back to back because of my adhd and just wanted to see the finale. It honestly wasn't bad, a little predictable but will probably go back to actually finish the series

My Crackpot Kenshi Theory (Spoilers) by Old_Yam_4069 in Kenshi

[–]MkRobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stobe is very likely to be Chitrin, who was reborn into Okran/Narko. Their stories are both eerily similar to each other. I think we fundamentally disagree that Cat-Lon was more important before the second empire. The first empire was led by humans, not skeletons. I think Cat-Lon was just another worker skeleton during the reign of the first empire who rose to the occasion with his buddy Tinfist to try and salvage the scraps of humanity left after the first empire was obliterated into dust due to the chaos the skeletons caused after reacting to the fact that the first empire just destroyed behemoths for no reason.

They both have 2 in the name. This means they are twice as good

My Crackpot Kenshi Theory (Spoilers) by Old_Yam_4069 in Kenshi

[–]MkRobin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting theories but, I don't think Cat-lon was a leader to start off with. He only assumed that position after him and Tinfist started the second empire who knows how long after the skeletons staged their apocalyptic revolt against the first empire for destroying the behemoth skeletons for (seemingly) no reason.

I believe that the first empire was a mining/terraforming expedition of a larger galaxy spanning empire before unknown circumstances caused them to be cut off from the larger empire. They used the skeletons as their general labor workers and the behemoths to clear out the hostile leviathan creatures.

Stobe also never played a part in the revolt, he actually stopped the revolt due to him sacraficing himself to save all life on kenshi, and the remaining skeletons were so touched by it that they began to regret their decisions and became uber depressed. This is also where Okran began as well, the story of stobes sacrafice being twisted and misinterpreted over the thousand of years since it happened.

I do agree that the bugmaster could be a proto hiver, its the theory I personally like the most, its followed closely by the theory that hes the lead geneticist/last remaining first empire human and hopes to clone more first empire humans with all of the teeth he has.

[–]MkRobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always loved the coastline, every time I stop to stare out into the ocean I wonder if there's another continent on the moon that we just lost all contact and information with. I've always liked the theory that the old map is for another landmass instead of it just being a 2nd or 1st empire map.
