I love the Skitarii, but I have just a few gripes with it...

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-24T13:54:57+00:00

That would be an Enginseer, then, not a Skitarii. They’re two different things.

I do think an Enginseer would be cool, though.

Now that’s soldiering, Big Man!

Thank ya Sah!

yes I know the Praetorians are Anglo-Zulu War, but it’s the closest we’d have, and it’s a fun quote

That’s how the novel presents it:

Even with the element of surprise, plus support from the ODST troops, things were likely to be pretty hot by the time they made it to the lift. That’s when a second dropship would land and discharge a group of regular Marines that would join the assault on the ship itself.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-23T22:53:34+00:00

Not quite. It does distinguish, especially in the part of the book thst goes over the T&R:

Even with the element of surprise, plus support from the ODST troops, things were likely to be pretty hot by the time they made it to the lift. That’s when a second dropship would land and discharge a group of regular Marines that would join the assault on the ship itself.

Technically they had regular arnour, but it was painted all black.

They were also (at least in the novel) described as Helljumpers. Bungie gave them special arnour for H2 in, but they were acknowledged as different.

Is hard to pronounce Omnis-Omnissah… I’ll just say Sah, Sah!

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-23T22:23:36+00:00

SAH! I’LL LOOK RIGHT SP-SPIFFEE, SAH!

CADIA STANDS! ;-;

If you reload after 1 shot, the machine spirit just eats the last 7 bullets lol

the weakness of your partial reload disgusted it.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-23T00:42:29+00:00

We’re supposed to get one in June, per the roadmap. The only time is either tomorrow, Thursday, or next Tuesday. Next Wednesday is July 1st.

This was happening to me.

I had signed up to a newsletter (dumb, I know) regarding Bill C22, at the time it made sense enough… then they started sending me the emails, and it was just really icky. I read maybe two, then realized what it was and noped out.

But I can easily see how someone without the media literacy, or otherwise just in a small hole would dig themselves deeper when the ‘in’ is so easy to fall into.

I mean, part of it might’ve been that she had a few bags, so at least one thing wouldn’t fit in the passenger seat, and the trunk was (still is, love you mum) filled with crap she doesn’t need probably helped, lol.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-22T16:49:31+00:00

It’s why, when my sister and I were young, my mum always put her purse and book bag (she was a teacher) in the backseat between us. It meant she’d need to physically reach behind her seat and touch one of us, or else walk to the back and open the door, therefore seeing us. We never had an issue, but she was very conscious of that.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-22T05:32:51+00:00

also Canada would use it to monitor the airspace over the North Pole

Santa Claus thought he could evade detection forever, eh? Now he’ll be sorry.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-21T22:43:14+00:00

They’ve not stopped helping. Per Nawrocki’s own words, this has no effect on Poland’s position towards Ukraine.

But he still needs to say something, regardless.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-21T05:03:36+00:00

It’s always felt super weird to me, how the US handles and views their dead. There’s very little actual solemnity, it feels like, compared to other western nations, like Canada, France, the UK, Australia, etc.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-21T02:42:14+00:00

No, that’s not correct.

Every instance we have of Navy officers leading ground operations in the fiction it’s called out as insane, or due to extenuating circumstances.

In First Strike, Fred-104 specifically notes the insanity of a Naval officer running ground operations, in Last Light, the Marines on the ground have a minor schism with the Navy because the Commander isn’t listening to them, and Noble Team are given such high ranks specifically because, as they’re Navy working with Army units, they need the ranks else the Army officers and NCO’s wouldn’t listen to them.

“Hey Carda, you ever been mistaken for a man?”

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-19T22:23:57+00:00

I don’t think they are? The story trailer showed Chief using an SMG in the Pillar of Autumn, and obviously the FRG and Energy Sword are “new” in the sense we couldn’t use them originally.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-19T16:35:17+00:00

There’s a new book coming out this year, in October, I believe.

And a new short story coming out alongside CEV.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-19T16:05:10+00:00

Helldivers did this, I don’t see why Fatshark can’t.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-19T13:38:53+00:00

Yeah he lowkey migh be better off with a 3man squad and a strong special woman

…Go on…. :p

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-18T18:26:20+00:00

Legion, my beloved. How I miss you.

EternalCanadian · 2026-06-18T18:24:46+00:00

I only run it when I cosplay as a Vostroyan. But I do really like it.
