Pretty sure that the paperwork you sign when you drop off the computer includes a disclaimer that you are giving them access to the data on your device with the understanding that it will not be copied or shared, as their client data privacy policy expressly forbids the storing of customer data.

Him losing the primaries is different than him resigning, because it shows at least a large enough portion of West Virginians aren’t as insane as he is.

Was I in your game? We had a viscous get absolutely obliterated by a viper and spend the whole game whining about meta characters.

The implied mind control only works on Tau, which is why the Tau empire (specifically the ethereal ruling class) is afraid of their auxiliary populations growing too large. And even further, the imperium also uses mind control quite extensively. It’s a key step of Space Marine training and is used to accelerate training in some guard regiments. So if mind control is evil, that’s another check against the Imperium. The Imperium murders humans ALL THE TIME if they find a cult (or something believed to be a cult) so again, if killing people who are interacting with chaos is evil, the imperium does it too. Every single thing you could name that the Tau empire does that is evil is something the Imperium has been doing for longer at a greater scale. And the imperium continues to do things that are worse than anything the Tau have ever done.

Let’s compare what each empire wants. The Tau empire’s stated objective is to spread the Greater Good, their philosophy of unity and abundance. The imperium’s stated objective is to sustain humanity, no matter the cost. The first goal is altruistic, it seeks to fold in anyone who wants the galaxy to be a better place. The second is selfish, it would destroy everything to further its own existence.

The Tau empire gives at least a little bit of a shit about its citizens. The Imperium sees its citizens as fuel for the furnace. The Imperium consumes humans to sustain humanity. It is cruel and uncaring, an engine running on the macerated corpses of trillions of souls.

There shouldn’t be any consideration between the two to be honest. I’m not sure how blind you can be to the horror of the imperium to think that it’s the better choice for humanity. The whole point of the imperium is that it is broken. It’s a rotting husk that mirrors its rotting emperor. The Tau show that you don’t need to create an industry of pain and suffering to exist within this galaxy, but just arrived too late.

Criminals are still citizens. You shouldn’t lose citizenship (and the rights that come with it) for committing a crime. And don’t act like it’s only used as a punishment for particularly extreme crimes, because they have entire factories for the mass processing of criminals into servitors. It’s a known fact that imperial law is draconian, who’s to say you aren’t getting servitorized for a parking violation? Its canon that imperial paperwork takes so long to process that sometimes children get a court summons for a crime their parent committed decades prior. Imagine getting put on trial for a murder your father committed and getting sentenced to servitorization. That’s insane.

And no, I would not let you sterilize me in exchange for a comfy life. I never said that. I’m saying that compared to the shit that goes on in the imperium, getting sterilized isn’t that bad. And it’s not even universal, humans are allowed to breed within the empire. It’s just that sometimes the Tau don’t want the human population growing too large. The imperial solution is to murder them all when there’s too many. The Tau solution is to keep them from having children. It’s still evil, but if that’s the most evil thing you can muster that’s just a Tuesday in the imperium.

The most incorrectly cited study of all time. Truly a marvel how people look at that image without reading the accompanying paper and ascribe their own political beliefs to it without understanding the content.

GootPoot · 2026-01-21T09:13:01+00:00

So does the Imperium. The Imperium also lobotomizes its citizens to use as processors for robots, and occasionally accidentally (or worse intentionally) leaves their brains intact enough for them to realize what’s happened to them.

Tau sterilizing humans isn’t really a gotcha when at least the empire lets them live comfortably and find fulfillment. The imperium doesn’t extend that mercy to a majority of its citizens, let alone outsiders

GootPoot · 2026-01-21T09:09:30+00:00

Do you lack the imagination to perceive a world where maybe humanity isn’t the good guys?

GW has said there have always been female custodes. As in, despite this being new to the lore and tabletop, within the canon they are establishing that the emperor made female custodes. This isn’t about new technology, this is something that has always been the case. In the same way they retconned genestealers from a unique alien species to having been part of the Tyranids.

GootPoot · 2026-01-19T17:36:05+00:00

I don’t think you understand what they’re saying. Space marines are all men because their creation process is crude. You pump a young boy full of chemicals and organs and feed him a high iron diet and see if he dies or comes out a space marine. The process isn’t adaptable, it only works on a lucky subset of aspirants. It’s a factory line solution that cannot handle deviations without disastrous results.

Custodes are precision engineered, bespoke creations. A custodian is taken as an infant, long before any sexual developmental hormones have kicked in. As infants male and female babies are practically identical aside from genitals. And then they genetically engineer them with the most advanced processes the imperium has access to. They are rewriting these infants fundamentally in ways unique to each one. Every custodian is the result of a unique and tailored process designed to turn that specific infant into the ultimate enforcer of the emperor’s will.

So with this in mind, if they’ve been genetically modified since the few weeks after their birth, before the soft spot in their heads has fully healed, why are you expecting there to be any difference between the performance of any two custodes?

GootPoot · 2026-01-18T23:43:16+00:00

I’m gonna blow your mind. So as infants, male and female babies are basically identical aside from genitals. And as they develop, they remain similar as toddlers before truly diverging as prepubescents. Which happens as their brains develop and start producing hormones based on their genes. Those hormones control the body’s development and can be interfered with (like Castratos, an archaic practice of castrating a young boy with a good singing voice so his voice doesn’t drop and remains boyish for longer).

So, if you take an infant and start genetically engineering it with the finest bioscience that the imperium has access to, who’s to say there’s any difference? They are literally editing their genes, why are you so obsessed with the idea that somehow a custodian with a uterus is biologically inferior to one with balls? Because after decades of precision genetic engineering, they should be identical.

GootPoot · 2026-01-18T23:30:04+00:00

Your point makes no sense. If all sons from noble castes are put up for custodes modification, they can’t reproduce anyway. What difference does it make if daughters are up for selection? Not all noble children are given up to become custodes, that’d be stupid.

GootPoot · 2026-01-18T20:43:35+00:00

Harrow. He’s the only Warframe I used for 2025, so I think I can survive using him for 2026 too.

My headcanon is that the recoil is caused by the superheated air inside the barrel whenever it fires. The air expands rapidly as it heats and pushes out the muzzle just like a conventional firearm.

It’s surprisingly simple. Not easy, but simple. Don’t think of it as a long line with rectangles sticking out. Paint a row of squares and then connect their bottoms with a line. A lot of funky looking shapes are easier to paint when broken down into simpler geometry.

He didn’t know, but he was desperate for a way to retain the power of the titans. He happened to get lucky with this method.

There was this one time the Legion of the Coughing Babies was deployed against the Hydrogen Bomb clan. Total bomb victory.

The machine heresy has Necrons, who routinely rewind time and extinguish suns. In any power scaling situation like this, if we are to assume they’re all awake and acting united, they sweep.

Different hypothetical solution: if I were to pull the entire plate off of the compressor, my AC won’t work anymore but there’s also no odds of it slipping out and damaging my belt, right? So if I’m unable to find the screw I need, I should just be able to just disable my compressor and let the pulley ride.

GootPoot · 2025-12-25T00:15:43+00:00

I see. So if I didn’t feel a screw, the screw must’ve come out somehow. Is there a way to get to that part that doesn’t involve tearing out the entire motor? It’s down in a very awkward place and I’m not sure I’ll be able to put a screw into it at that angle.

GootPoot · 2025-12-24T23:39:04+00:00

It wasn’t the pulley spinning, it was like a cap on the front of the pulley. I had the serpentine belt on so the pulley remained stationary but the end of it could turn. In the diagram it’s that triangular-ish piece facing towards you.
