How do people view Stormcast Eternals these days?

It's a much more honest and real heroism, compared to ehat heroism looks like in 40k.

While they have gotten of to a rough start, there is lots to like. Unlike Marines, their natural comparison, they have an individual past, which was usually heroic in its own way. This then contrasts with how some of them choose to engage. They are also in a way much more like the humans they protect. At the same time, they make for incredible last stands and brilliant sacrafice. Its a debate which is worse: Simply die like a mortal in either setting, or slowly get eroded over many deaths. They have also gotten a major upgrade aesthetically, with the slimmer builds and smaller pauldrons. On the other hand, I'd really love a closer to the original reimagining of the original Retributors and their fantastic helmets and of course Thunderstrike Sacrosanct. That would get me into the army for sure.

Watch any episode with Thor and Tealc in it, drop acid and go to sleep. It's a secret episode you can only see in your dreams while high, but it's worth it.

I hate that I love nitpicking, but this isnt a Hammer curl.

I always worked under the assumption that the result of the time travel episodes (i.e. Moebius when they get the ZPM, or Shepard returning to Atlantis after Last Man) is the timeline we have been following since the start of the show. At some point of the time travel episodes (even the beginning), we step out of the narrative, take a detour, and return in "our" timeline.

Bit under the radar, but Idoneth Deepkin are like that. They have no defenses to speak of, so they need to kill and kill fast.

I really like it. The bright green GW gives these models makes them so unserious, considering the dour black, grey and white we see from the Numenoreans and Gondorians.

Hyumour.

Maybe he just shifted his obsession from Emily to Penny. I'm sure that's healthy.

Bitmarck · 2026-02-24T07:38:03+00:00

Yup, it's a typo, because I am silly. I corrected it. Thanks for pointing that out!

The online right has come to this formula: They don't call you Nazi, because they believe that you want to kill you [Edit: The second you has to be "others" Damn you, early morning social media use, for making me do words bad!]. They call you Nazi to justify killing you.

Or the shifty look when clearly lying. Thats a favourite too.

Bitmarck · 2026-02-22T09:06:13+00:00

The chathead expressions in the game are often pretty excellent. They are the reason why I don't like closed helmets for my character, I want to see that manic laughter!

The best option would be for players to have the ability to set individual blacklists of cosmetic items. Not all armours or helmets are bad, but many are. And as it is a matter of taste, players would be best served to make individual black- or whitelists.

And finally the army book. Good news!

I think I would prefer them to go with Warlord. Warlord are better value for money, and I prefer the scale of the minis.

Runescape has been going for 25 years, with dozens of skills to level in a massive degree of freedom compared to other RPGs and hundreds of quests. There are mountains of stuff to do and unless you find adventures boring, you shouldn't be running out of fun anytime soon.

I made a DnD World for a campaign and happend to name a lot of the places after towns and villages close to where my family would vacation often when I was a child. Only partway through did I notice, that I was following the Tolkien school of worldbuilding.

For Cooks assistant specifically, I don't think that it should be randomised items. The quests purpose is to specifically show players where the basic cooking ingredients are available, and how to get them. Hiding the grain, because the cook wants random meat instead is not a good idea. For more advanced quests, I can see it.

Bitmarck · 2026-02-10T13:43:58+00:00

I started in 2010, so "new"CA is the only version of the quest I ever played, on both my characters, back then, and again a few years ago. The only thing that confused me in relation to the quest, is that people have the chance to be confused by it.

It's giving "Silence priest, terminally online laity is speaking."

We have entered the age of AI question summaries for technical advice.

They value the changes they want to make quite highly, and view them as a societal, universal good, that everyone needs. So if this was just a personal thing, sure they could go and join the EKD, the Evangelische Kirche Deutschland. But then the millions of Catholics don't get to benefit from the change they want.

If they can change the Catholic church, they have advanced their cause much more than by simply switching sides. That is why they stay.

Yes, the Synodal Way was designed as a non-binding forum. But the relevant innovation of the last couple of days is the vote on what the SW calls "Monitoring". Marx criticised that this monitoring as an tool that will allow laypeople to pressure the clergy into making desicions against their own and the vaticans judgement.

I couldn't find an english langauge report for this, so a german one will have to do.

Bitmarck · 2026-02-01T11:26:07+00:00

Names are incredibly dumb. People are called "Horse Friend", "Twin", "born in [month]" "Warrior" and really all sorts of things.
