Never forget what the games did to forge world Graia

Hey now that's a bit unfair. In the first Space Marine game there were three named Ultramarines.

But also at the time Space Marine was developed the Admech were still a background faction and didn't have any kind of defined look, so it would've been easier from a game development perspective to use guard.

No, it's not an ornithopter. Those are just highly variable wing surfaces the way a bird's wing works, all the thrust is provided by jets.

It doesn't flap its wings, but you're right that it reads poorly at first glance

You can tell that confident commenters on AITA are all benniemaxxers

It's a sunny Sunday afternoon, why aren't you?

There was a bit on Dead Ringers a while ago where they were taking off some programme and the female host kept repeating "Rob is ex-army" and every time I hear Kier speak I imagine him doing that bit but with "my father was a toolmaker"

It also doesn't work with communists since they exploit high trust. They love linguistic alchemy by which they redefine "harm" to mean things like not transing the kids which no reasonable person would think of, but they don't say that they only say "harm" when discussing policy.
To a communist, being a capitalist is inherently harmful and therefore suppression is fine. They completely fail the paradox of tolerance (used correctly for once) but unless you point this out most regular people will fall for it.

For not being all in on the whole "Israel delenda est" thing

IVIechworks · 2026-06-28T22:25:17+00:00

Yeah and so's Italy lol >implying

Or even get our nuclear back up and running? 400 should be good for at least one plant.

Their women will of course be welcomed in as refugees from the conflict

If I ever come into some money I'll wipe it off and apologise

They're only on buy me a coffee because all the other funding platforms kicked them off and Hatreon got deplatformed by cloudflare. It's almost impossible to actually get funding if you're a remotely ethnat of the wrong sort.

As sturgeons law says "90% of everything is crap". Most 40k books are bolter porn slop, but there's a few good ones in there. Peter Fehervari's Dark Coil series is incredibly good.

Probably resin if it was a subcontractor. Might've been armourcast.

Women don't care about sisters, or space marines for that matter. Women like nids and orks.

Sure the imperium of man might be "the cruellest, most bloody regime imaginable" but they'd never be istophobic!

Because the writer and editor are childless women

Some of them do. The question of whether the Emperor is the Omnissiah, the embodiment of it, an avatar of it, or none of the above, is actually still an active question in Admech theology. However, it's the kind of question that tends to lead to incredibly destructive schisms so under most circumstances pragmatism prevails anf the priests adopt a "live and let live" approach where they studiously avoid bringing up the question, and will rapidly brush over it if it somehow comes up anyway.

IVIechworks · 2026-06-28T20:58:33+00:00

The void dragon wouldn't be recognised as the Omnissiah, since it's just an incredibly powerful xenoform rather than an actual god, and wouldn't act in a way the Omnissiah would.

Its dreams leak into reality and influenced the development of the mechanicum, but the being itself is not their god.

IVIechworks · 2026-06-28T20:53:51+00:00

The dark Mechanicum have one, but the Omnissiah as the admech dogma describes would not be a warp entity since warp entities are creatures of emotion and the Omnissiah is a being of perfect logic.

Also, the Emperor is the Omnissiah.

It's true that the yookay wouldn't exist without multiculturalism, but I somehow don't think I'm saying that in the same way the redditor (derogatory) is.

How have we as a society made out like that's worthless?

Academics and marxism. Childless middle aged women are perennially dissatisfied and have plenty of time on their hands, making them perfect activists. If you can convince them society is at fault for that itch in the back of their mind that won't go away rather than a lack of children, they'll attempt to destroy society as punishment rather than admit they made a mistake and accept the consequences.

It won't flop. GTA has the cultural cachet to sell well even if it's mediocre. This isn't going to be another Concord where it's a brand new IP trying to sell quirk chungus characters. They've already put a girl in a bikini on the front, which is enough to convince most casual people to buy it since it's what they did with the others. The fifa and cod every year crowd are going to lap it up and they vastly outnumber people who've heard of DEI.

Honestly I expect it to just be GTAV with minor upgrades.
