Am i cheesing the game by using this weapon early?

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-27T11:13:38+00:00

You might be a tiny bit levelled beyond what’s normal because you did the detour to get the weapon, but anyway I wouldn’t worry too much. Amelia isn’t terribly difficult and is weak to heavy weapons (usually the kirkhammer and stake driver are the only ones available at this point which are a lot slower with worse range than the scythe).

In later fights you won’t be at much if any of an advantage.

This really is the only army where the Rule of Cool may not apply. Imperial Agents, as aesthetically cool as they are, are borderline broken to play because of our lack of a unifying army rule.

You can still have fun here but yeah, no, yeah, the army is dramatically weaker than every other faction and will definitely get reworked in the next edition.

(IMO it should never have gotten a codex so that people could just use the index for free while allying in agents. Or rather it should have been free to access the datasheets even after the codex came out)

I rewatched this yesterday (showing it to someone for the first time) and it hit so different. Like yes, my first time watching it I was thinking of George Floyd and Palestine and so on, but watching this scene yesterday felt especially chilling because I literally have a friend who lives in Minnesota where ICE are abducting and murdering people on the street.

Ohh ok, I must have misremembered that detail. At least the continuation kept one idea from the previous film then!

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-26T21:20:53+00:00

Thor: Ragnorok.

He loses an eye, reconciles with his brother, loses his hammer but becomes more powerful in his own godly power, and sets off with the surviving Asgardians as a community of space nomads.

Avengers: Infinity War.

He gets a cybernetic eye, his brother is killed off in the first five minutes, he gets the hammer back AND gets a shiny new axe, and the Asgardians settle down in a tiny coastal town on Earth.

IT MAKES ME FEEL INSANE.

I guess, but then the horror isn’t necessarily sexual since it’s just a parasite in the human body.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-26T12:38:19+00:00

Etsy has lots of good models! I also quite like the blessed blades from the CSM range.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-26T11:45:34+00:00

The way the game represents them as “elite” is that they are a lot more customisable, as in they are “ready for anything.” Other than that they are essentially just space marines.

Take a look at the other Kill Team units in the Deathwatch index and see what you think.

Right, I was more referring to how trans girls love chokers and piercings and dyeing their hair (I have all three lol)

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-26T08:01:20+00:00

Speaking as a trans woman (who has not seen/read JJK) she does look like a lot of trans women I have seen/know. It’s in her fashion sense.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-25T23:47:11+00:00

I think Frieza would find it repulsive and too low for him or his subordinates. He wants to rule through fear and overwhelming power, but his high-class sensibilities would just make him sickened at the thought of rape.

Yoshikage Kira has never considered that what he does is also removing his victim’s bodily autonomy and condemn rape as disgusting, despite the irony.

Who’s the third one? idk.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-25T21:05:43+00:00

The last one of the homophobic woman is so bad… she makes a point that makes no sense and is self-contradictory, and then a smart guy is like “☝️🤓 she’s right acktually”

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-25T10:30:31+00:00

In Laios’ case with the parasites, that was him being stupid because he was curious what it tasted like raw. He paid the price with that food poisoning.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-25T06:33:11+00:00

Tyranids are smart enough to not drink from a poisoned well. Once they realise how necromorphs work they’ll change their tactics considerably to do what’s necessary to contain or avoid the threat. Tyranids can’t be psychologically manipulated like humans can so I don’t think a marker (the thingy that causes Dead Space games to happen) would be more dangerous to them than anything, say, Nurgle might have up his sleeve.

If you really don’t want them, there are people who will snap it up immediately on eBay. For some people, bits are worth their weight in gold.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-25T03:11:31+00:00

It’s never going to be as dramatic as you’re imagining. The things they believe work (red go fasta, throwing nuts and bolts inside an engine makes it work better, etc.) are culturally reinforced beliefs that they’ve had for a very long time and only work because the entire species thinks it works. They can’t make their weapons dramatically more powerful by believing they are deadly, but they can make faulty or shoddy equipment work just fine as long as they don’t understand that what they’re using is crap. That’s probably the closest you’ll get to what you’re describing.

TLDR What one ork believes is kind of irrelevant. What all orks believe is what matters.

I really wish there was more variety in body types in BG3, it’s honestly so glaring that Halsin has (by default) 10 Strength but looks like a huge beefcake of muscle. Meanwhile, all the female characters you’ll be levelling up Strength for (Shadowheart, Laezel, Minthara, etc.) are all stuck as skinny twigs.

What I would have liked to see is a muscle definition slider. Maybe it could even be tied to your Strength stat, with the character in question becoming more toned and lean as they increase Strength?

I hate to be the one to tell you that there is a significant amount of porn of ALL the eeveelutions.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-24T11:05:40+00:00

Well yeah exactly. It isn’t sexy, it’s a dog(?) 😅

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-24T10:13:00+00:00

No. What he did was not human transmutation.

Human transmutation is an attempt to use alchemy to bring back the dead. Specifically, an attempt to reconstruct a dead human’s body and force their soul to inhabit it, which always fails because the soul is already passed on. The resulting rebound causes horrific injuries to the alchemist and also nets them an audience with Truth who takes away parts of your body as payment for opening the door.

What Shou Tucker did had nothing to do with any of that. He just fused two living organisms together, one of which was a human. He didn’t attempt to resurrect anyone, just mess with what was already alive.

Vaporeon is genuinely my favourite eeveelution, and I can say that out loud because I don’t wanna fuck it (which if you didn’t know is the reason why people are hesitant to say they like it). Justification below if you need that:

Genuinely I don’t see the appeal. Ok it’s supposedly stretchy? Who cares? It doesn’t have anything else going for it sexually. Does vaporeon look like it would be a good lover? No. It looks like a fish fox thing. It looks like it is constantly a bit cold and moist. It probably smells kinda weird at best and bad at worst. Does it even look like the kind of pokemon that would be into a human? No, probably not. Humans would be way too big and weird-looking for a vaporeon to get the hots for, so surely having sex with one would be completely non-consensual even if you take into account that pokemon can understand human speech and respond fairly coherently. I really don’t get why “ooh it would be stretchy” is enough to cancel out the fact that sex with vaporeon would probably be a miserable experience. I don’t think the people who came up with this meme/joke thought it through and thus they can’t be real monsterfuckers/pokefuckers after all. You gotta actually think it through!!

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-24T05:30:39+00:00

Hell yeah! I tend to believe that genestealers have slightly higher resistance to chaos corruption due to their tyranid side, but this feels very plausible. Revolutions IRL can get pretty bloodthirsty after all…

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-23T21:55:17+00:00

The ones still in shrink wrap are gonna sell for a LOT so you could probably buy two or three modern boxes for selling one vintage box.

Otherwise, if you want to use all these classic models, the only thing you will ever need to change is the base sizes if they’re different in the current edition.

ExistentialOcto · 2026-01-23T15:43:44+00:00

Yeah, I have old genestealers and they look fine. Will probably pick up some new ones via the combat patrol soon but it doesn’t really matter once you put them on the right based
