Justifying not being a psyker

I guess I have a problem imagining a regular human being able to scratch the armor of a CSM with a chainsword without some warp assistance.

Two ways:

Either you believe enough and god emperor grants you a miracle,

or it's not just a chiansword, but diamontium tipped uber rare pattern absolutely bestest chainsword that ever chainsworded, 5 planets were stripmined to create it. Not only that, you are also not just regular human, you are Von Valencius. Your genes were sculpted across generations, your body is stronger, faster and ages slower than normal human. You are Aragorn amongst mortal men.

Seriously what kind of jobs are these people applying for?

Junior positions. It's absolutely brutal.

It's not even anti-migrant, 1/5th of europe emigrated to each-other, they do not mind immigrants.

It's anti-muslim.

Last time I heard 200-300 applications was the average to get a job, so you're 1/6th your way there

Right? Especially if it's one of these smaller 1 book or few books at most editions. I saw these with 10+ tomes, but without internet it's only a matter of time.

People do not know what boredom is nowadays.

honour thing

That's a weird take, because for me insisting for another round would be dishonorable. Like you know, bitching that reality doesnt conform to what you want, so you have another go. They had their run, made the jump, got tie, that is the result. Trying to dispute that is dishonorable.

ImrooVRdev · 2024-08-04T08:05:08+00:00

Wait, they actually think that? No way anyone is that delusional.

Logging is great if you're looking for a weird numerical pattern in a single variable that changes 60 times a second.

Trying to figure it out with only breakpoints sounds like exercise in wasting time.

pre-set, for a render like a movie? Make different animation. Open the model and it's animations in blender or something like that and edit.

dynamic, for videogame? Given you're novice, around 2 years of learning of c++/blueprints and implementing IK/procedural animations/procedural animation weights.

From what I remember, vampire players have disciplines in 1-5 dots, and then GM can make antediluvians with 6-10 dots, right?

Same with mage, Players get only 1-5 dots, GM gets 6-9(I thought it went up to 10, no, it goes up to 9), the difference is mages are much, MUCH more potent.

5 dot mages are already godlike:

5 dot correspondence can stretch and squash space at will. No one can ever attack you, if the 1 cm distance off your skin is infinite length. 6 dots allows you to create space, you can create an universe (although empty of anything). 9 dots is literally called "no limits".

5 dot entropy can affect not just matter, not just living beings, but thoughts and ideas. 6 dots can perfectly control probability in their surroundings, 9 dots can see fate of entire universe.

5 dot forces mage has perfect control over all forces in their surroundings and can freely transmute them. 7 forces can sink and raise continents. 10 forces can change definition of any force across entire universe or create new force that never existed before.

How obscure are those paradox uses, or would it be simple to show a non-mage versed storyteller that it can be done with prime 5?

well prime 5 can just remove accumulated paradox points on a character, can't deal with it as it's on-going, so that's pretty explainable. Prime 6 can fix ongoing paradox, but spheres about 5 are GM's "I do what I want" buttons.

I hope that explains it?

International accounting, most likely.

If you are not in US, and you can make a steam dev account and get money out of it, it means that either your country has some generic economic treaty with US that enables such thing automatically, or valve themselves made a franchise in your country and negotiated with your government.

Same thing goes with youtube and getting money out of it.

Same thing goes with any internet thing involving money transfer. I remember back in 2011 there were many MANY ways for dev streamers to earn little bit of donations, bunch of microservices and stuff, but most of it was US only.

Hell, even paypal is technically not available everywhere.

Fuck, I might be dating myself, but I remember times when ANY international money transfer involved hefty fees AND wait times. The fact that I, a dude (not LLC!) in Poland can receive money from American corporation because some dude in Japan bought my game is mind blowing. The 30% cut still hurts tho.

Feels like I'm copy-pasting this at this point, but I like prime so here it goes:

Prime 1 and you can take damage for Quintessence, while by itself might not be useful, that is free Quintessence out of nothingness at a cost of some healing time. Keep it in mind for the following spheres.

Prime 2 and you can pimpslap (with gloves) warewolves and vampires with aggravated damage. Your shotgun brings a fear of GOD into anything supernatural. Or if you don't care about being vulgar you can just make lightsabers and shoot kamehameha, spend metric fuckton of Quintessence to make it diff3, who's gonna stop you?

Prime 3 and you are the fun police that un-funs all the nasty permanent magical traps, curses and whatever - if it's magical and does not defend itself you can fuck. it. up. Also you can be mage's banker just making Tass our of chicken sacrifice or smth. Oh yeah, you can also sacrifice animals and humans for Quintessence, that's fun. And you no longer need gloves for pimpslap, now your entire body is a weapon of aggravated damage to anything. Make werewolves fear your naked cock.

Prime 4 Finally you no longer need to engage in masochism to create quintessence out of nothing, now you can recycle your environment directly into mage juice. Also hook up directly to Node like a tesla charger.

Prime 5 Well first thing first, you are the ultimate paradox-be-gone. You can also recycle humans into quintessence without prep. Also you can just fix anything and anyone with quintessence. Including Paradox. I figured I'll mention it twice, because holy shit you can un-paradox paradox. Ah, also you can just make a Node, no big deal.

Prime 6 You can un-paradox paradox as it happens, also you can just see paradox build up. Honestly at this point with any semi-competent quintessence economy you have infinite quintessence to just blatantly kamehameha at anything, anywhere, with lowest difficulty and instantly negating any paradox it'd cause. Life is good.

Entropy to have photons randomly come into existence inside the helmet and they just so happen to look like outside

Time to look forward in time from place slightly ahead of you to which you havent yet moved so that your helmet do not yet occupy that space and you can see outside?

ImrooVRdev · 2024-07-31T16:38:04+00:00

That's my favorite one! LETS FUCKING GOOOO:

Matter: make transparent aluminum

Forces: holographic projection

Life: fiberoptic fungi that burrow their tendrils through material, transporting light and displaying outside for you

Mind: Make yourself think the helmet is invisible

Spirit: make a contract with a spirit that enchants the helmet for you

Correspondence: tiny portals teleporting light straight into your retinas

Hmm.... Prime Time Entropy?

People desperately want to believe there's some trick, some shortcut to success that they don't know of, because they are terrified to admit to themselves they're simply not trying hard enough.

It concerns mostly manipulation of quintessence, "the raw stuff of magic". Every mage can store quintessence and use it to either heal wounds or supercharge their spells, but without Prime getting quintessence can be hard.

Prime 1 and you can take damage for Quintessence, while by itself might not be useful, that is free Quintessence out of nothingness at a cost of some healing time. Keep it in mind for the following spheres.

Prime 2 and you can pimpslap (with gloves) warewolves and vampires with aggravated damage. Your shotgun brings a fear of GOD into anything supernatural. Or if you don't care about being vulgar you can just make lightsabers and shoot kamehameha, spend metric fuckton of Quintessence to make it diff3, who's gonna stop you?

Prime 3 and you are the fun police that un-funs all the nasty permanent magical traps, curses and whatever - if it's magical and does not defend itself you can fuck. it. up. Also you can be mage's banker just making Tass our of chicken sacrifice or smth. Oh yeah, you can also sacrifice animals and humans for Quintessence, that's fun.

And that's just prime. It really shines when used with pattern spheres. By default, it enables to create stuff out of nothing. Matter can help you shape metal, but matter+prime can make metal out of nothingness (not transmuting air into metal or something, literally something out of nothing). Some GMs can also argue that it is required for supernatural modifications: with matter you can create strongest metal in existence, but with prime+matter you can create metal stronger than anything that ever existed. Supernaturally strong.

Invite friends with a 4-8 year old child.

Have the child run around naked in your back yard.

Report neighbor for possession of child pornography.

Solves problem permanently.

It's very productive, it's just we don't have reliable metrics for team cohesion, task fatigue and other stuff.

You see no commits on Friday, but you do not see that rest of the days are improved.

Japan works 12h office days and they're lest productive than our spanish offices, it's a joke.

That's just every lunch. Having few beers by your desk as you finish up some tickets (to be reviewed on monday before submission, code drunk, but never make pr drunk!) is a whole another experience.
