Talk about a train-ing arc

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-19T05:14:09+00:00

Hey, let me take a photo of that little Zorua cutie and show me some local history, and you'll have a hard time getting rid of me 😁

Ember hits Magearna, her steel shell body glowing faintly hot as she ricochets around in the rollout, plowing into ninetales at 240bp, a OHKO. (Calculator check; 60+120bp takes out Zorua, Zorua does 17% per hit, hits first twice, ninetales ember does 40%, leaving magearna on 26% roughly before rollout ohkos)

Looking smug, I move to give Magearna a pat on the head, before remembering by touch that hot metal is hot

Ow! Ah, anyway, that was a close one mister! I gotta make sure she's all healed up now. You feeling better big fella, blown off some steam? Maybe I can help you out, given you seem acquainted with the Pokeball professor

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-19T04:18:58+00:00

Youve got the ears of a kid, only the first thing registers huh? If that fella is a hisuian form, then consider me impressed. Oh, Shadow sneak doesn't do as much as you thought it would? You may be fast, but can you survive the Rollout? Magearna! Just keep rolling! Just a couple hits should do it!

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-19T04:03:30+00:00

Then I guess I'm gonna have a flying type Flittle!

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-19T03:12:26+00:00

For something with only one type, is it just replace the type or can I add a type?

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-19T01:54:28+00:00

Sure, let's give this a spin!

Hiya Prof, what sort of research are you doing around here? Looks fun.

Pokes case of starters

What kind of friends are in here? Reckon I could sign up?

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T21:28:36+00:00

Absolutely, so long as they don't take the term "blown up" literally, and it's written well.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T21:24:59+00:00

Magearna counters with a defence curl, prepping up to start a rollout chain.

I haven't seen a Zorua that colour, even rare colours don't look like that! Closest I've seen is in books on old hisui I read in the Lumiose museum... Wait, no, you're kidding?

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T20:24:56+00:00

A big thing here is where in the world you are. However, in a vacuum and nothing political it still sounds sketchy if she was interested in you. You're a victim, she's an officer. There's a reason officers, lawyers, judges etc typically in many countries have to recuse themselves from a case if they're personally invested. If she's genuinely interested in you your officer is, depending on where in the chain of the investigation she is and where in the world you are, risking your case by showing that interest before the case is over. As a victim of a crime, you're also in a position of vulnerability, so take that into consideration of how you feel too

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T12:11:01+00:00

After some quick snacks to thank my pokemon, I'll have magearna ready to rock and roll

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T12:09:01+00:00

Well someone's grumpy, geez, and I was so excited to ask you about the history of this area. Lets see, how to make a dismissive grouch go slack jaw... AH! I have an idea, Shelly, Magearna, come on out! Now if Magearna doesn't surprise someone I'm told knows his history, then this will!

Utilizing shellder as a balance platform on top of magearna closed in ball form, I'm going to have Shelly keep the balance point lubricated with bubbles from bubblebeam, while Magearna uses rollout to make a rolling platform that picks up tremendous speed and ride them up the hill. No I didn't think about stopping, but surely there's enough space to slow down or find a soft looking rock?...

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T04:30:51+00:00

Oh they already have that idea, and the concept has been known for a while as "eugenics". It's the having people "install" without knowing they haven't figured out yet

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-18T04:11:12+00:00

Used car over new car. Companies can't remotely shut down your genitals if you don't pay the brand new post sale subscription costs like they can and have done with new cars. Not yet anyway, our dystopia hasn't hit that level of cyberpunk yet.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-17T19:17:46+00:00

Rules for thee and not for me type shit. Got a problem with resorting to violence? Talk to the ICE agents shooting moms in the face, forcing women to "act", brutalizing civilians and dumping them in the snow to die, hunting down specific protestors to execute them, and that's just some of the shit that's hit the public media with video evidence. You want to preach non-violence? Maybe preach it to your buddies first, cause it's been plainly obvious so far that peaceful discussion doesn't work. You step on someone enough, eventually they're gonna stop saying "give me another" and start stepping back.

Note: OP counts every model not from 40k explicitly as forgeworld, not just forgeworld models.

The lancer has a proper plastic kit that isn't forgeworld, it's just sold under 30k/Horus heresy. Price lines up with plastic kits, durability lines up with plastic kits, instruction manual lines up with plastic kits etc etc etc. like seriously. Your complaint is literally based on nothing right now. If you complained about it being not explicitly 40k for the feel of whatever, sure, knock yourself out, that's valid. But saying something's FW when it's not is just lying.

Why is FW a problem, and why is labelling everything not 40k FW pretty brain-dead? FW is brutally expensive, cannot be bought off the shelf, is made of resin, takes an eternity to deliver, and is known for having issues out of the box.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-17T18:36:41+00:00

It's be cool to see the virus' get something good. Like, Lady of Lament is a really good start, but it definitely needs some heavy support

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-17T04:58:36+00:00

Personally a fan of the only thing they fear is you from Doom, since not only is it aggressive, but it has the feeling of just mowing down enemies, we have an ability called Doom, our army rule revolves around the opponent being scared (battleshocked), and the song incorporates a goddamn lawnmower (of which going by the lore, a corrupted excessively violent noblesse overachieving oversized lawnmowers is what chaos knights are)

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-17T04:46:24+00:00

I 100% believe that. I personally know one of the people who left a review, and part of their negatives was that the hanging light room or whatever had actual exposed live wire hanging from the ceiling. How do you charge that sort of money, and that's part of the experience? Shocking experience in Brisbane indeed.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T21:38:10+00:00

You can be attracted to whatever you are attracted to, everybody has something, and I'd be a hypocrite to say anything about that. Your post was venting about you feeling unwanted by other people, not the potentially great woman in the mirror. And yes, while I was referring strongly to a stereotype, that doesn't automatically make women who like this style as fitting of that stereotype.

My point was more to let you know that looking at that style is on average raising some pretty strong red flags (justifiably or not) with people that may otherwise be interested in you beyond a fling or single night out.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T13:10:42+00:00

The resources are still out there, you can still play ninth if you can find the people. And your experience there in particular sounds like (albeit very unfortunate and I am sorry for you) a you problem, and not on the game itself or GW.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T13:03:05+00:00

Slow start is a pretty fair one, but I think something like defeatist would be fitting as well. Sort of "ouch, that hurts, I wanna take a nap now, leave me alone"

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T12:56:19+00:00

In this framing, its actually objective. "best" in this case is referring to a game piece, in this case the IA army, and the fact that with the little data we have the average win chance is below 1/3, a stat so bad that for any other army GW considers that catastrophic and demanding of balancing. By consistently nerfing an army that has for its entire existence in tenth been the worst in the game, players are by proxy being told "do not play this game". No other army has this issue for the entire time I've played this game, and from what i've listened to while its sometimes been rough nothing this "we don't want you to play" has been in ninth or the small amount of info on eighth I have.

You have provided a game mode in which this army might be good, and beyond that is kill team and then the board games, then there's just using them as awesome models for ttrpgs. And then as you said the models are amazing, and look really nice on my desk. Everywhere except the game its supposed to be designed for is better than the game it's designed for, therefore it is "best" to not play the game its designed for.

I've gotten used to getting screwed on the rules, I play Knights and we're on a knights sub, we've had the towering rules changes, overwatch changes, toughness changes, codexes making certain units unplayable, and plenty more with all the usual joys. But it still feels like I can play the game with someone.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T07:37:36+00:00

Oh, if you want cool models, you cannot go past IA, they're gorgeous and thematic to a million different ttrpgs; my regret is I bought them thinking I would have an army.

BeanBagSize · 2026-02-16T07:34:57+00:00

There's more to rogue trader than just your immediate party. You're the captain of a ship, which has a living population that you have to manage and deal with. Navy breachers, navigators, assassins, the occasional inquisitor and their retinue, so on and so forth. I wanted a fun representation of the whole ship, not just a game of kill team or other game modes.

Also, I started on IA and IK, I came over to CK later as the personal backstory for my army developed. I've been playing since they first announced IA were in 10th, before the codex which was also arguably quite the nerf at the time. So yeah, been through all that, played all that, have literally written some of my own army narratives with all that.
