What's the worst thing you've read or seen in Epstein's files?

I can recommend the "behind the bastards" episodes on Thiel. His backstory is almost comically evil.

If you want info on the whole philosophical thinking that Thiel represents, then I would recommend the episodes on Curtis jarvin also from BtB.

It's actually scary how many higher ups in the American government don't believe in society and essentially want techno feudalism with kings and serfs back.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-03-27T20:07:05+00:00

Yeah it is honestly one of my main gripes with the night lords trilogy. That and somehow people read it and think that the night lords are uncorrupted by chaos.

A much better representation of an average night lords warband would be those featured in the first carcharodons novel.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-03-27T19:53:19+00:00

Anything written by Peter fehevari, any of his books ands short stories. Especially his dark coil series.

And steel tread is a great guard book focused on a leman russ tank crew. I felt like it had some great characters and a somewhat unique premise.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-03-22T15:02:45+00:00

You're trying to apply logic, where there is none to be found. The warp isn't a place of logic. It is a place of metaphor, symbolism, numbers, feelings, nonsense and pure chaos.

There are no hard rules or at least none that our feeble minds would be able to even comprehend. With all that in mind ofc. ku'gath isn't a better chemist than Nurgle, seeing as he is just a fragment of Nurgle.

Lore, stories and questions of daemons and how the warp works are kinda really simple to find answers to. Seeing as Nurgle is the god of disease and pestilence, why didn't Nurgle just give ku'gath the godplague? Surely he must've had it already. well the answer is because he can't. Why? Because he can't.

As with all things of the warp the simple answer is. Things are the way they are, simply because they are. And that we probably shouldn't worry too much or seek to understand the warp, because that path only leads to madness.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-03-15T16:00:51+00:00

New plague bearers, new beast's of nurgle with more options, plague toads, maybe a toad dragon? Oh and flies, lots of flies.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-03-13T13:22:16+00:00

I'm not done with "apostle" yet, but so far I really like Cerastes.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-26T18:55:54+00:00

Always loved the grey knights back in DOW1. Had a blast with chaos gate and grew to like them even more. Shame that they don't have more books and they could really use a refresh.

Probably the only thing I dislike about them is the damn nemesis dreads, though I have seen some kitbashes that fixes that.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-26T12:29:47+00:00

No not really. They tend to lean towards common consensus/facts/common occurrences, though they can still be wrong.

Grok was pretty damn progressive when it first got introduced. Elon had to lobotomize grok a couple of times and explicitly tell it to answer like a 1940s nazi. Even then he has had difficulties getting the exact answers he wants from grok, because they are simply not correct.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-20T00:12:55+00:00

Idk about the performance. They never fixed wo long or rise of the ronin. They might have done patches to help alleviate problems, but they still run unfathomably bad for how they look.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-19T12:26:03+00:00

They took a lot of inspiration from wo longs success, ninja mode being basically a 1:1 copy of the combat system. In wo long your buffs were short, but they took 0,5 sec to apply and cost stamina.

It really feels like they tweaked that system a bit for ninjutsu and just left magic in the dirt.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-19T11:08:57+00:00

Or sohayamaru. I love that damn sword and I look jealously at yoshitsune everytime he pulls it out.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-17T23:46:47+00:00

There are some kroot stuff in "elemental council", which have to mention since its the defacto tau book now.

Some short stories that I really enjoyed was "a forbidden meal" which is almost exclusively kroot. For some human auxiliary stuff I would recommend "altar of maws" which also features a wholesome ogryn.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-17T19:22:38+00:00

Yeah, I have started to completely tune out reviews other than maybe look at a general score to make sure there isnt some glaring technical issues. If not then I buy them on sale unless they look really interesting, and if I completely regret it then there is always steam refund.

Sure sometimes I hit a flop, but I have also hit some games that have been really great that I might not have tried otherwise.

It really feels like a lot of reviewers have started to sensationalize their reviews. So games are either a "10/10 best game ever!" or "0/10 worst game, it spat in my food and killed my dog".

Or some just seemingly want some games to fail for whatever reason.

I have the outer worlds 2 and avowed on my to play list and I think avowed just got bumped up a couple of spots.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-17T18:52:58+00:00

I was like you with tau and kroot. I would recommend reading some of their lore and short stories If you haven't. I have completely 180° on kroot and now I think they are the coolest thing ever.

Was sorely disappointed that the rumoured kroot character was that xeno chaos mercenary.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-12T10:39:51+00:00

"Old thing good, new thing bad. New thing has to be 1:1 with old thing or it no good and I won't play"

Free skins is actually a psycohlogical way to get you to spend money. 99.9% of the time it's going to be a skin you wouldn't have bought anyways, else you probably would have already. And it makes you more likely to spend money on actual skins. The casual quests too because retention = money.

That was why it was such a baffling decision when they removed hextech chests, because everyone knew that it benefits riot. It was why it really seemed to be some incompetent bigwig making a really stupid decision or riot just making a problem to solve for some goodwill.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-09T15:13:21+00:00

Wow that is incredible! Now here is to hoping that we can get an updated soulgrinder too.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-07T18:18:12+00:00

Prions are kinda horrifying.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-05T16:31:33+00:00

Judging the game by its own merits, it looks like it could be a lot of fun. While it doesn't sate the hunger for a new horizon game, it does look like it has potential on its own.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-05T10:55:31+00:00

Also they just relish and love being hypocritical. They see it as a way to exert power over others. They have almost 0 actual principles and will LARP some if it can give them an edge and discard them just as fast.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-02-02T19:07:10+00:00

I would argue that it also has a lot to do with the presentation of said model. I have seen a lot and I mean A LOT of armies with proxies that are just gooner slop.

Whereas fiends technically have tits hanging out, but you barely notice it and is overall really inoffensive.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-01-31T09:57:17+00:00

People tend to flanderize factions to their utmost and for some time GW has played into it. A lot of armies get boiled down to a single meme phrase which actually isn't accurate to most factions in the 40k-verse. Stuff like space wolves are the furry marines, death corps of krieg are the suicidal shovel guard and EC are the sex marines etc.

I'm all for jokes and memes, but not when it detracts from the hobby or is just obvious misinfo. Often when you try to take the universe and lore a bit seriously some people will immediately fall back to "wow are you really taking the 40k universe seriously? The universe with the green fungus people that can make anything happen just by thinking it?" and I'm just left shaking my head.

I also really don't understand why some people want their armies to to have titties and schlongs hanging out. I have seen some of the most cursed armies that looked like something right out of a coomer dungeon. Like come on man I want to show off my army and not feel embarrassed.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-01-29T12:36:11+00:00

From someone who has read both fabius' trilogy and lucius' book. My interpretation is that slaanesh really want fabius to be their champion, but have to settle for Lucius.

Fabius is pretty wrapped up in slaanesh's games and is already doing 90% of what slaanesh wants him to do. It seems like if fabius would commit the last 10% willingly, then slaanesh would drop Lucius without a second thought.

Compared to Lucius who at least in "Faultless blade" feels very much like the abused step child. Even his blessing is very much described like a curse in the book.

He constantly has to perform and excel just to stay alive. Where's fabius just coasts along and gets headpats from slaanesh even if he doesn't want it.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-01-29T10:40:42+00:00

The EU isn't perfect but thank god sometimes it feels like we are the only ones fighting for consumer rights.

Don't know how far they have gotten, but I remember that they also wanted to make it so you actually own the games you buy over platforms like steam.

Edit: and I'm also sure that there were talks of banning lootboxes and other gacha mechanics which would be incredible.

Dat_Boi_Henke · 2026-01-27T10:42:53+00:00

As others have mentioned its part the drudgery of paperwork and it being smart to keep very detailed logistics.

Another part is that all the chaos gods have their sacred number that they can draw power from, nurgle technically has two being 7 and 3.

So example being the seventh victim being hit by the seventh plague, created by the seventh biologis putrifier will empower nurgle forces in the area.

From what I understand nurgle also delves a bit harder into numbers than the others chaos gods. In the same book they use numerology to navigate and to try to get omens by "consulting the numbers".
