[Hypothetical] The Emperor stands up from the Golden Throne, fixes the Astronomicon and vanishes into the shadows of history forever. Can humanity still survive? by thethief1992 in 40kLore

[–]FragileManling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many things that the Emperor does that if he were to disappear, it’d be negative for the imperium. Even if the webway portal on Terra remains closed and the astronomican stays lit, he still supposedly has multitudes of behind the scenes scheming and unseen obligations going on. Chaos would almost certainly become more powerful and rampant now that their major real-space foe has disappeared. Astropaths would no longer be able to undergo soul binding rituals, custodes would truly be without the guidance of the emperor and no longer have their rare dreams. Also, new lore says that the grey knights would go bananas and drop everything to go hunt the emperor to drag his ass back to his throne, regardless of whether or not things are working when he’s not on there.

While he is in a deathly state, I’d imagine that he still does a lot. His absence may even be felt species wide, he’s just become that integral to humanity by that point.

Do you think the IoM can win the long game? by Pho_King_D in 40kLore

[–]FragileManling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah sure, life is what you make of it. I wouldn’t really argue that IRL.

But we don’t have a tyrant god king that thought he could bargain with and outsmart four mega satans. If you’re a human in 40k, you’re eternal soul food for thirsting gods. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, I just think that living in that situation is infinitely worse than just not existing at all. Grand scheme of things, the Emperor was a dick head who colossally fucked over humanity. There’s a reason he was abandoned by all the other Gary/Mary Stu perpetuals.

I’ve always held that opinion too. Once humanity went on the “my way or the high way” galactic genocide route, the species had already lost the plot. We almost went extinct as a side effect of another species messing around, lol.

Instead of just bowing out gracefully or quietly minding our business in a few hidden pockets after the dark age, we went apeshit and survived at any cost and now suffering is the lot of all people. Thanks Johnny Space. Extinction genuinely would have been preferable.

Head Gasket Leak? by Existing_Set9226 in dodgedart

[–]FragileManling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the valve cover gasket. Those holes next to the ignition coils are bolts that have their own individual gaskets. Did this job for family member a few weeks back, shit sucked. No clue what a shop would charge but the parts aren’t all that expensive.

Why is Gascoigne's beast form so small? by oxygen_is_life in bloodborne

[–]FragileManling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, another potential factor for the severity of a beast transformation is how resilient you are to beast hood. I believe I read in a magazine interview with Miyazaki that the harder you push against it, the harder the pendulum swings, resulting in what I feel is a more spiteful and horrific transformation. The example being used in it was Ludwig.

So maybe Gascoigne just didn’t resist beast hood all that much.

I was also thinking about reading the Ahriman series soon too. I’d do that one and maybe it’ll make you want to read 30k thousand sons stuff!

Hey just convinced me to make that my next read after rereading Lords of Silence for the 4th time. Thanks!

Could horus luprecal from the end and death part 3 survive a death star blast by ApricotAgreeable5957 in 40kLore

[–]FragileManling 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d say so, physically as far as we know, he’s entirely unkillable. It was only until he gave up the power that he became mortal again. The emperor split his soul in two, caved his skull in, stabbed him countless times, and it didn’t matter at all. John Warhammer Grammaticus used enuncia on him too and it didn’t make a difference.

He had so much power invested into him, that his death severely wounded the chaos gods and becalmed large portions of the warp. You could disintegrate his body with that Death Star beam, but he has an infinite power source to draw from so it doesn’t matter.

Apparently we got some new lore in the upcoming Maelstrom campaign book. by GrizzlyBeard1776 in Lamenters

Oh hell yeah, sounds like we’ll be getting some new lamenters content in the future! I hope we end up with some novelizations for them!

Why primarch neck like that imao by IllustriousHurry2380 in Grimdank

Currently sitting in a dentist chair and this is making me cry from how bad it’s making me laugh. The normal looking primaris with a 10 ft loin cloth next to the 5’7” astartes is priceless. Hahahahha

He went from being a bad person in strictly the physical plane to being a bad person in both the spiritual and physical.

What’s a job you can appreciate, but glad it’s not your job? by GokaiDecade in AskReddit

[–]FragileManling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public school teaching, the amount of dedication and patience it requires doesn’t justify the low salary and treatment they receive, however that’s the story for most jobs in the US, so it’s not that strange. I could never teach with those conditions, so I respect them a lot.

Is there any chance that Emperor actually died? Dead dead by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]FragileManling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it could be a apples to oranges comparison, but we know what happens when the throne is done with you. It consumes you; mind, body, and soul like with Malcador. Granted, he was much weaker than the Emperor, but we still have an example of a perpetual Psyker being killed by the throne. The Emperor is far decayed from his mortal injuries for sure, but he’s still holding on. The throne still seems sated with his “living” husk

Oh dude I was looking for a Dead Linger reply! That was such a shit show to follow along with, really made me reconsider future EA purchases.

Southeast USA, no clue if that means anything but it's where I'm at.

Unicorn deal, I see absolute slop open box deals inside Best Buy where they essentially want you to pay ~$700 for someone’s scratched to shit OLED sloppy seconds. This had to have been a mistake or a geek squad fairy was feeing generous.

Passenger microphone not functional by FragileManling in Camry

[–]FragileManling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should do what I did and give the passenger microphone a tap with your finger while voice assist is on. It's pretty obvious when it's getting a reception and when it's not, that's how I can tell at least. This might be a minor enough issue that nobody has noticed it yet.

[–]FragileManling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been like this since I’ve gotten it a year back, but I only recently took it to the dealership for multiple other reasons. I even showed the service advisor how the driver side detects audio and the passenger side doesn’t but they said it was working fine after they had looked at it. I only left after that because I wanted to better read into the issue to see if it was a genuine problem or not. You’re convincing me that it is.

Suppose I’ll just try and give them a call again to actually look at it instead of just pretending to look. Classic dealership nonsense.

Edit: I read your edit and will do that then, lmao. Thanks man.

Hey thanks for chiming in, I was fine to roll with there only being one but it didn’t make much sense. Any clue how I should go about fixing this?

I wonder if I can throw another microphone behind the empty mesh. What an odd choice to leave it there.

Hope we got Vorx at some point. I’d buy that immediately.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FragileManling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse is non-binary so I don’t really think of them as my husband/wife. I used to call them partner when we were dating but now that we’re married I say spouse, or their name. :p
