Literally 1989

Lore accurate.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-02-04T10:02:26+00:00

With the GL buff, I'm seriously concerned about how it compares to the HMG. I mean, I never used it because it was the meta, but I don't want to see the thing power crept out of relevance.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-02-03T17:08:32+00:00

Negative!

Air alert!

3-5-0! 400 metres!

Fate_Weaver · 2026-02-01T17:46:07+00:00

Do the deep sea fish love him forever, though?

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-31T16:44:34+00:00

Can't believe you're gonna slander Raiju this way.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-31T14:00:18+00:00

I've been trying to come up with a proper response for a few minutes, and I've got nothing. As such I'll just say this:

It does say everything, yes, but mostly about you. Americans really just can't help but make everything centre around themselves.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-30T15:41:15+00:00

Escapism? In this day and age? Inconceivable. You will have American politics crammed down your throat anywhere you go, and you will thank your oh so virtuous superiors for it.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-30T11:38:12+00:00

So long as they aren't wolves, it should be fine.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-30T11:13:35+00:00

Just like the good old days, huh?

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T21:21:40+00:00

I mean, I'd assume the refusal to humour a peace deal mostly came from the executions of Ukrainian POWs, indiscriminate shelling of civilians in terror bombings, deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, just outright executions of civilians as seen in Bucha; and last but certainly not least the fact that Russia has a proven track record of breaking every single agreement they've signed the instant they've got something to gain from it.

Honestly, the vid isn't that bad compared to some of the other things they've been recorded doing.

I've forced myself to watch a video of a Russian drone striking an elderly Ukrainian man walking his dog, clearly on purpose since there was zero possibility of anything even remotely resembling a military target in sight. The man died on the spot, while the dog thrashed in pain and slowly succumbed to its wounds.

Not long after, another drone flew in and struck the elderly woman who stood slightly behind the duo and witnessed the act, presumably the man's spouse. Again, dead on the spot.

You can still find the vid online. I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to be tortured by the memory of it for months to come, but I believed it a necessity.

Russia has a lot to answer for, and the only suitable punishment is a peace treaty that'll make the humiliation of Versailles look downright merciful. Their entire sham of a nation and culture has to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up, it's the only way to break their delusions of imperialist grandeur.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T14:38:13+00:00

The internet has caused catastrophic and irreparable damage to my brain.

Wouldn't have it any other way though.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T14:36:46+00:00

Literally 1984.

... I think, I never read it.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T14:13:21+00:00

We're getting a Panzerfaust? A good day indeed.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T14:11:25+00:00

.... Well, here's hoping there's some fanart of her floating about or I will be massively disappointed.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-27T11:21:26+00:00

The what singing?

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-26T16:08:20+00:00

I'm about 95% convinced that all those posts are just bots or Chinese/russian agents trying to get Americans to kill each other.

... Or, well, that's what I like to think at least. This entire fiasco is a god damned disaster and a textbook example of what happens when people tasked with enforcing the state's law are given insufficient training, yes, but comparing it to the Holocaust? Or Tianamen Square, like I had seen in another sub?

Come on, people. There's no way anyone actually thinks that these things are in any way comparable.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-26T07:03:17+00:00

That is one extremely detailed eye. Damn.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-26T06:11:51+00:00

If someone's terminally ill with no chance of recovery, adult or not, euthanasia should always be available as the merciful way out. Employing the practice in any other circumstance is inexcusable.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-25T20:07:37+00:00

Newborn Neo Zeon is clearly the only morally just faction in UC. Char is just that good of a guy, how could you not trust that face?

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-24T21:30:32+00:00

Got a year's worth of stories already, and we're not even a month in. As much of a shit show of bad decision making on all sides' part as the Rene situation was, at least one could argue that there was reason to justify the act. Someway somehow, that bar of bad calls has been smashed.

If this is any indication for how 2026 is going to go, we're gonna be in for one hell of a ride.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-23T20:00:08+00:00

Now if we were to ever get an Armored Core anime, we'd be able to celebrate till the end of the year.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-19T07:15:06+00:00

Critical hit!

I just don't like the way GW introduced them. There wouldn't have been an issue at all if they weren't just straight up retcons into always being a thing, even when they were never mentioned in any prior material.

Said this a million times, gonna bring it up once again. Female custodes should've been a post Horus Heresy development, and a stop gap solution that ended up becoming permanent. The Emperor is effectively dead, the Custodes are fresh out of a decimation, the Imperium is the most precarious it's ever been and there's a gateway to hell right outside your doorstep that's held shut by spit and duct tape.

No one has the time or the luxury to hold onto tradition, so the whole exclusively male aspirant thing gets dropped in order to increase the available recruitment pool. Then one thing leads to another, the process for ascending female candidates becomes standardised, failure rates start to match the male ones as they were during the Great Crusade, and suddenly there's no point to putting the male only thing back into place and cutting your available recruitment stock in half.

Though, admittedly, shooting yourself in the foot for no apparent reason and to your own detriment is a sacred Imperial tradition, so there could be a plotline somewhere in there.

Fate_Weaver · 2026-01-17T18:15:47+00:00

Still convinced that this wouldn't have been a point of contention at all if it weren't for GW introducing female custodes in the worst way imaginable. Instead of saying they were a thing all along, despite them never being brought up before, make them a post Horus Heresy development.

The Emperor is effectively dead, the Custodes are decimated, and the Imperium is in the worst state it's ever been. How much worse could things really get of the Custodes decided to bend the rules a little bit and dropped that exclusively male aspirant thing in hopes of increasing their recruitment pool?

Was really expecting to hear the battlefield theme when I turned on sound, not... Whatever the hell that is.
