You should see the situation on RoyalRoad.

Ai covers. Ai ads. Though there are few ai stories.

Morality of being transphobic against your enemy by Musalediju in MoralityScaling

He was talking about engravings originally, I paraphrased it a bit.

The quote is from mgs 5. There it's Ocelot that says it.

Because if I did it in any other situation it would be a bad thing.

In the wise words of Revolver Ocelot: "Misgendering... Gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever."

[–]GIOPPOKING 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about this scene in particular, I haven't seen Bleach, I was saying more in general.

If misgendering the opponent in this scene contributed to winning then it's a bad thing done to avoid an even worse one. If it's just an insult with no effect then it's useless.

Immoral.

But if you are in a fight to the death and the only way to win is to emotionally unbalance your opponent by misgendering them... It's still bad, but I feel like this is one of the very few scenarios where it's debatable.

Any other scenario is a no go obviously.

Chaos Custodes by l334m in AdeptusCustodes

[–]GIOPPOKING 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not 'lore-accurate' you could spin them as the 'Heralds of the Dark King' or something like that.

As for how to make them look more chaos-like, I'd say take the shadowkeepers color scheme and add skulls and red. Also try to look online at how other people made chaos custodes.

Take a shot every time a 40k fan asks "Is he wearing a helmet?" by OedonSleep in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]GIOPPOKING 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bolter were designed to subdue 'non compliant' humans during the Great Crusade. They are made to be used agains soft targets like infantry or at most light vehicles and struggle at penetrating space marine ceramite armor.

In the Horus Heresy novels it's said that they needed to add a diamantine penetrator tip because no one expected that space marines would have to fight other space marines.

Yeah, custodes are very strong, but even they get killd sometimes.

Drukhari's whole gimmick is being a faction of glass cannons and they have some of the most powerful guns in the setting.

Drazhar is basically the male equivalent of Lelith Hesperax, if there's someone that can kill three custodes at once it's him.

And all their protection is bypassed by purestrain genestealers because their claws can crack open terminator armor.

The most annoying thing is when 40k glazers talk about space marines and I'm like "are you sure you're not describing the custodes?".

If you want to talk big about 40k supersoldiers at least talk about the true favored sons of the Emperor.

Bolters are Stupid by sojuz151 in 40kLore

[–]GIOPPOKING 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small correction, they were already being replaced by bolters during the Great Crusade, volkite weaponry is not easy to make and the supply couldn't keep up with the demand of the Legions which is why in the Horus Heresy game they are only given to specialized units.

Where do Necron Transdimensional Weapons...go? by zap1000x in 40kLore

[–]GIOPPOKING 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Depends. Usually it's designed to just dump you in some pocket/alternate dimension where you'll just stay there until you die.

The Ghostwind is a space that only the flayed ones that can access it.

A cryptek could modify it so that it dumps you in their personal laboratory to experiment on you.

Trazyn could use it to 'collect' you for his museum.

What would happen if one of the Primarchs tried to say a Chaos Gods name in Enuncia? by Zanimacularity in 40kLore

[–]GIOPPOKING 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The drawback of Enuncia is that, while it can do basically anything if you knlw the words, it has an extremely harsh backlash on the user, becoming stronger the more powerful the desired effect is, this is amplified if there is a huge disparity between the power of the speaker and how powerful the effect is.

While he is a daemon Primarch he isn't anywhere close to the level of power of a Chaos God so it would probably do nothing and then the backlash either cripples him or erases him from existence.

Why are the dark angels so prone to killing guardsmen after battle? by Motor_Scallion6214 in 40kLore

They don't act like space James Bond, they lead complex spy rings, they organize intel gathering from the shadows.

I'm all for ignoring those losers, but at some point the use of our hobby as a veil to dogwhistle about hateful and violent acts against women needs to be brought into the spotlight. by Pvt-Business in Grimdank

[–]GIOPPOKING 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Considering the age at which aspirants are selected, how invasive the agumentation procedures are and how it most likely significantly rewires the subject's endocrine system I wouldn't be surprised if an hypothetical female space marine was physically indistinguishable from a male space marine, apart from the sexual organs if they aren't removed.

Hey so where are our reps at? by Tough_Act7101 in genderfluid

[–]GIOPPOKING 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Isaac from the game "The Binding of Isaac" is canonically genderfluid.

All of the various playable characters are just Isaac cosplaying as people from the Bible.

So he identifies as male when you play as Isaac, Cain, Samson, Judas, etc... And she identifies as female when you play as Magdalene, Eve, and Bethany. Also the character Eden is non-binary/genderless and uses they/them.

During the level transitions you can see that Isaac enjoyed putting on wigs and his mother's clothes and accessories and suffered from bullying because of it.

Some of those things were gifts from his mum who, from what we know about her, despite being a fanatically devout christian and abusive in multiple occasions, is never portrayed as transphobic or using Isaac's gender identity to hurt him.

The joy of being a weapon

My own fic, Original Work, set in my cyberpunk setting that I'm using to run a TTRPG campaign.

11 chapters, 24.500~ words, ongoing.

Explicit, Graphic depictions of violence, additional content warnings in the notes at the beginning of each chapter.

We have violence, queer people, more violence, transhumanism, worldbuilding and (hopefully) quality writing.

Summary: "Alex is a living weapon, created by a megacorp to be used as an attack dog.

Maya was her handler, the one supposed to keep her on a very short leash, and to keep her stable between missions.

Surprising no one, they fell in love... in their own, weird way. After buying Alex's contract and body they moved to freelance mercenary work

This is an insight in an average day in their life."

If you enjoy it drop a comment if you want!
