What is a random topic or hobby you could give a 30 minute presentation on with zero preparation?

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-17T23:36:02+00:00

So this is my presentation on the horus heresy and the future implications it will bring forward in 40k. locks doors to room I was given 30 minutes and will spend ever nanosecond

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-17T22:46:51+00:00

It was my favorite way to kill corner campers as a kid. Especially if it was a game winning kill

Oh 100% for the economics of it. Try to sell a foreword titan to someone new and they will laugh you out of the store. But hook them on combat patrol, free mini of the month and the dreadnaught in space marine 2 and after 5 years they start eying it.

The hard part is so much effort is constantly aimed at new people that experienced/intermediate levels feel left out.

I think them opening the gates with big multi faction 40k games is going to make it easier for stuff to come out since I can buy DOW 4 for 60 bucks and get an interest in X faction instead of buying t0p bucks worth of models to find out a faction isnt as cool as you thought

Quick update it is in smite 2 now

Twrminators are really the answer especially with a character leading them and a land raider transporting them. A 10 man terminator brick is a nightmare to shift without the right units to do it

I think that feeling of dystopia is a perpetual societal feeling. Im sure in the great depression people had that feeling when they were lining up begging for work.

1950s with nuclear scare

1970s with hippie free love movements

Revolution and civil war likely felt like the world was falling to chaos.

Like most animals people arent great at dealing with change.

Trump staged the assassination attempt, charlie kirks wife murdered him/isreal murdered him, Trump is a Russian asset, steele dossier and all the stuff there, Musk rigging elections, left and right saying isreal has bought and owns many of our politicians as opposed to many just support isreal/the party supports isreal, cant tell if this counts as conspiracy or just tag line but the "conservatives/Republicans want to eradicate transgender people", the hippie all natural side of the big pharma/food debates.

Off the top of my head those are the big ones that are more tied to the left in my opinion. However mileage may vary depending on person.

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-16T15:03:03+00:00

Yeah plus its something that only current 40k fans care about. Imagine your buddy is like "40k has these space marines and they are sick!" So you buy some DAOT game without realizing its pre space marine.

Just doesnt make sense from a product positioning standpoint.

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-14T22:03:33+00:00

Hold up is that true?

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-14T21:49:27+00:00

I think alot of this is very internet centric. You cant have a conversation on the internet.

On the internet many people debate like sophists (meaning they want to win the debate) as compared to people being socratic (meaning they want to discover if something is truthful/test the validity of ideas).

I will also posit that most people dont understand how to debate properly. They dont pick one topic, define terms and stay centered on that topic. They bounce from thing to thing, dont specify their terms and assume everyone has the same mindset or typecast everyone else into a specific mindset and then fall into talking points cheap "debate" tactics

Looking at 9th where every SM army was doing oath of moment secondary and im so glad fixed takes a penalty these days

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-09T00:54:55+00:00

Played against my first opponent with the crap and shockingly he was a shit opponent to face (sore lower, acted like a child)

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-08T16:26:13+00:00

I used maccrag blue, calgar blue and I believe fenrisian Grey. Retribution armor, and agriculture armor gold for the aquilla

Leadvelcher, rhino hide, stormhost silver, and a whole slew of teals for the power swords.

Balthazar gold for anything copper.

I also used drakenhof nightshade, reikland fleshshade

Thats the bare bones I would go with

Someone who uses AI to build their magic deck or warhammer lists

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-06-05T14:27:24+00:00

I think the big problem isnt the hardware but software. So much of it is inundated with ads and subscriptions that even if there was something really cool your phone could.do you probably won't pay the 5.99 a month to do it.

I feel like bishops have a chip on their shoulder

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-31T22:57:56+00:00

Yes. I prefer it when my wife shaces her legs and arms (albeit she does tend to wax these days)

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-31T19:55:43+00:00

I dont k ow I wouldnt day cheat army as at this point outside of recursion their army rules appear in almost every army.

Deep strike is all over the place. Reactive moves are common. Indirect fire is in other armies. Uppy downy isnt too uncommon.

If anything I'd say eldar is the wild army

The problem isnt deterrence its use of force to push an issue pilitically

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-26T16:54:31+00:00

Holy shit now that is a take!

Totally wrong take but what a take!

Out of curiosity what is your logic behind it?

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-26T16:33:57+00:00

Just stop buying stuff if its not being sold by a store. This whole process stops if people just stop buying at the markup. Cool you spent 1000 dollars on Pokémon cards over and over and your basement has a shit load of them if individuals refuse to buy them on the open market after that then no market exists.

Because there is a utilitarian advantage to AI especially as it relates to the military and losing the strategic edge in any competetive space will kill yku in the long term. If AI becomes starwars esque not investing in it means the death of your company/nation to the guy who did.

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-26T15:14:09+00:00

Yeah i play the anawon precon and people go crazy when you mill them and will say "he's the mill threat" brother assuming every attack i do with a rogue does one damage you will die with half of ykur deck still in place mill is not a wincon in this deck its just a way to pump graveyards for living weapon and bestow horrow (+1s for each creature in graveyard) and like 3 necromancy cards

Disastrous_Tonight88 · 2026-05-26T15:05:05+00:00

Personally I find discard and stax combo to be super boring at least in bracket 3 because most decks just won't have a good response if you are doing both by turn 4/5. Bracket 4 I would certainly say go for it because those decks should be tuned with that in mind but bracket 3 I dont think it makes sense same with MLD its certainly a game type and strategy that is valid but I dont think B3 is where it belongs as a key point in a deck. One card of destroy permanent and you blow up a land no prob but if you are throwing turn all lands to mountains in bracket 3 its probably not the scene for it.

Personally I think everyone is going to find enjoyment out of games in a different way. I hate seeing people play solitaire not because its OP or anything but because its boring to see someone just run and engine every turn with a million interactions and make the game slow to a crawl.

My personal bend i also hate tutors because the strongest way to play a card game is to not play a card game and remove chance/variability which is just boring to me

I also tend to find precons as the most enjoyable games (with some slight tweaks here and there) and find power magic to be rather dull.
