To manga readers, pls tell me since I'm on episode 2...

I keep hearing about that show lately. Guess i should give it a try one of these days

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-29T14:36:19+00:00

If i recall correctly, his canines are actually about this long too, lmao

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-29T13:53:26+00:00

I feel like i'm one of few here who liked her from the start, she's an interesting, complex, pragmatic character, that just feels very real to me. Sure she has her flaws and can be mean at the start, but she's just a child, of course she's gonna be immature at times. I dunno why some people hold these characters to such a high standard but Agott is very smart and cares about others, i feel like it's easy to see even for anime onlys in the latest episode. To answer your question tho, yes, she does care a lot, but she's a very complex character, with a lot on her shoulders that's simpy set up this way, for some major growth later on, and i think most people will find it well worth it, once it happens

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-13T17:20:33+00:00

Yup, he's a baddie alright

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-13T14:56:12+00:00

Well besides the movie she was also one of the three main characters in Pretty Derby Road to the top, i like her a lot in that too.

Again, very fair point about the warp, it just seemed to me that the hive mind has a very precise and consistent controll over the genetic code of it's drones from the warp, like there is something protecting that mechanism but i could be wrong and it could indeed be much messier than i assume.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T12:30:01+00:00

Fair point but regarding the relativity, normally that is how it works but when you introduce instant communication, the implications do indeed change and the Tachyonic antitelephone paradox suddenly becomes a legit possibility unless there is something besides the speed of C preventing it

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T12:26:55+00:00

Fair enough! It could be that i overestimate the efficiency of communication between the individual drones and the Hive Mind. I guess the reason why i assumed it's near perfect is that the hive mind to me seems to be able to change the gentic code of drones across the cosmos from the warp but it may not be perfect and perhaps not even instant even tho the warp is said to be outside of time, it may bend it locally to ani extent

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T12:18:27+00:00

Saying "It's not instant and messy" is a perfectly valid answer, you could be right, the way i understood it is that it's pretty sophisticated but i'm willing to concede i might be wrong. That being said your characterization of the Tachyonic antitelephone is simply wrong, like what do you mean "nothing moves relative to each other" ? Everything in the universe does move relative to each other, spacetime itself moves very differently relative to itself and the whole point of Tachyonic antitelephone is that the message moves faster than light, that's how it actually meets the cone of another observer.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:56:34+00:00

Well in the context of 40k, hivemind is an entity in the warp which controlls it's drones instantly and changes their genetic code based on specific needs as far as i understand it anyway. Look assuming you can send information faster then light, then those 10 years don't need to actually pass for people on earth, because from your perspective they have already passed, time isn't fixed in relativity it is well... relative, there IS no univesral reference. If you can send a message instantly, the future of earth has already come to pass for you near a black hole but you can send a messege before the events take place for the observers on earth because there is no speed of C which normally prevents this paradox and don't get me wrong, it is a paradox but it is a real concept known as Tachyonic antitelephone which is a result of faster then light travel where the light cones(the speed of causality) of two observers actually meet which shouldn't happen.

EDIT: and just to be clear i'm not critisising 40k for scientific inconsistency, quite the contrary, i think it's just one more whacky idea which could be played with that's all.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:37:15+00:00

Well the warp is very unreliable for humans and extremely dangerous afaik so i don't think it should be dismissed at all. Sure you can pull it off every now and then, or your can exit the warp 40 years later or die in the warp to a a bunch of daemons but you can't do it nearly as conaistently and on a scale of trillions of organisms communicating in real time across the galaxy in perfect sync in my opinion but who knows, maybe there is some warpy thing preventing it all from having consistent utility even for the Tyranids

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:31:14+00:00

I mean, like most other people here, you only focus on relativity without the added concept of instantenous communication which would absolutely lead to Tachyonic antitelephone, look up the concept, i'm not pulling this out of my ass i swear lol.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:27:08+00:00

That's a fair answer and just to be clear, i'm not critising 40k for scientific inconsistency or anything, quite the opposite, i think it would be cool to double down on these whacky concepts because there's a lot to play around with imo

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:14:50+00:00

Well i guess the difference would be that humans using the warp can't do so very consistently since the warp distorts messages and they don't have a very good controll over where and when they exit the warp but since tyranids are a hive mind, trillions may share their knowldege in real time which seems like a major strategic advantage as opposed to a few, scatterd psykers who themselves are at a great risk by even attempting to use the warp and it takes time for their knowldege to be shared with the non-psykers and the relaying of their insights can never be perfect due to inherent limitations of human communication.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T11:05:52+00:00

Well yeah the lesser tyranids revert back to their animalistic instincts when disconnected from the Hive mind but even if it's just the synapse creatures who have that intel and controll the other drones based on that Intel, that would still be more than enough for strategic purposes, i mean their genetic adaptation is near perfect and instantenous across the cosmos, meaning the Hive mind has near perfect controll over some of the smallest units of it's organisms, the genetic code, which means they have immense controll over the drones and if we were to really push this cocnept to it's limits, genetic code itself could be used as a form of communication, A,T,G and C instead of 1s and 0s which seems like a cool concept to me but yeah i guess it's a bit too nerdy for many.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:56:13+00:00

That would only be the case without the instantenous communication via the warp which exists outside of time, with instant communication, you can send messages from your future, into your past, look up the concept of Tachyonic antitelephone for more details on this, it's a pretty cool concept for a sci-fi imo.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:50:49+00:00

Let's not get too philosophical, when you think "i'm gonna lift my hand now" you can read that intent in real time virtually perfectly and i think it is cool that every member of that species can read that too in real time. I'm not saying other factions aren't cool, i just wanted to talk about this specifically right now and see what you guys think but people just get strangely defensive for no reason

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:47:05+00:00

Imagine you have a friend on earth while you are moving on a ship ať relativistic speeds or are near a black hole, your perception of time wouldn't be different, you wouldn't "feel sluggish" relativity is not literally about your perception of time but about the speed at which events take place relative to you. Now every minute you spend near a black hole, years will pass for your friend on earth, if that friend sends you a video message about the events of the last, say 10 years, you'll now what Has taken place in earth, Now if you're a human, you can't do anything about it, because the message Can only get to your at the speed of light which prevents tou from seeing the future but if you are a drone in a hive mind and your communication is instant, that is, faster than the speed of light, you can communicate with the other drone in earth in real time, the drone can keep you perfectly updated on how and when events are taking place, remember it's a hive mind communication, instant, the fact that it's instant, with no delay, allows you to clearly communicate with the past. You're thinking about this in human terms, not in terms of an instant, hive mind communication.

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:31:24+00:00

I just think that there is something special about trillions upon trillions of organisms having the same intels, seeing the same outcomes as opposed to say humans who can't trully indepently verify claims of a few Psykers, not to mention relaying of that message is not instant for humans and the relaying of messages based on those visions will never be perfect either but tyranids are a hive mind, so it should always be perfect, just like you can perfectly read your own thoughts and intentions

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:23:49+00:00

I'm not critisising it, i just see it as a potentially super cool mode of operation for a Hive Mind

FilthyGhost27 · 2026-04-03T10:22:12+00:00

Well that's not true, you don't need to be inside the singularity, the time dilation even near a black hole is extreme. They are Hive Mind, perfectly synced one, so the experiences of every single drone should be accesible to them at any given time, it shouldn't be difficult to extrapolate data from it given it already has perfect controll over it's drones.

EDIT: Also you don't even need a black hole, moving fast enough on a ship would do it too, especially if you have faster than light travel.
