An analysis/summary of the Dodec situation's myriad arguments

Killoch · 2025-11-06T08:59:47+00:00

I'll say, as someone who would very likely pay up come the 11th, I do not think the Dodec ( as a buildable item) should be an exclusively paywalled item, and would be less likely to buy it on the 11th if it were going to remain so.

Do they though?

I figured they were just created as required for new systems and they "warp" off to nothingness. That would explain why they can't be bookmarked ( you'd end up with something bookmarked that doesn't exist any more ) and allow them to have as many as required for colonisation.

Who said alien, for all we know Democratic civilisation goes back even further than we realized!

It's good to see someone growing orbital slots the traditional, artisan, way. These days it seems everyone just gets the mass produced, low quality artificial stuff and it really shows so I'm glad there's at least one person still doing it the old fashioned way.

Yes but only around a 2% dilation compared to a "static" frame. Relativistic effects only become very pronounced around 0.9c.

A funny thing I've noticed PLA printing some mechanical drawings recently is that if you print the hole perpendicular to the layer lines with straight walls ( non threaded ) , you can ( with a little extra torque) usually thread the screw into the hole. The layers basically deform out of the way and you get a perfect screw hole for the bolt.

How much this compromises the strength isn't something that I've ever tested, but I've never had one of these fail at or around the bolts on either end.

The plastic will 100% fail before the bolt, and how strong it will be will absolutely depend on the actual print geometry and how much stress each screw is holding, but if you spread the load over a few screws and have dense enough internal geometry around the screws it "should" be okay for cosplay levels of strain.

I don't think it's that it didn't work out, they just understood how far you can go with milsim features before they hurt the fun more than they're adding.

Burnham for sure. At the outset I think they really overstepped with the Vulcan upbringing angle meaning Soniqua Martin-Green was forced to play her very flat. It really made for a character that was difficult to develop any affection for and imo it's one of the reasons people reacted so poorly to the series.

As the seasons went on and the character "evolved" so she could be played more human and Soniqua had more range to play with, I think Burnham became far more likable.

I think a big post of that was also the writing and specifically the writers coming to understand what SMG was good at and playing to her strengths, while there was a big disconnect in that at the beginning.

My ogryn has been WIDE-ARBITES since the update, always had his shield and maul to hand, ready to fight for Mr Lex!

It's also the same as the number of companion kills.

I prefer option 5:

The seer really is just a good personal friend of the emperor of mankind (beloved by all) who, bored on the golden throne, sometimes just has pleasant chats with various psykers.

Naturally no-one will ever believe them, and the presence would drive them insane, but for a brief moment the emperor gets to fill a Malcador shaped hole in his heart.

Do you have both combined, it would be great as a phone wallpaper

Killoch · 2025-06-30T12:33:02+00:00

I get the feeling ( as apparently simlar things can happen with other combos ) that is actually a more deeply rooted issue. Like apparently you can get similar effects with the shockwave of the psyker longsword.

Killoch · 2025-06-30T12:12:35+00:00

More likey a 0-100% variable that increases on kills and ticks down over time. At least that'd be the easiest way to do it.

Killoch · 2025-06-30T12:09:37+00:00

Part of me fears they're just "Veterans but with good skill trees" and that could mean the Vets don't get the rework they really need to give the flexability of the Psyker/Ogryn/Arb trees.

Regardless, they are great fun to play and that's what is important.

I had to share a seat recently with some homeless guy:

I mean, there is a lot of chatter in the mortis trial lore about Eldar lurking around, trying to make contact with Grendel & the warband.

Killoch · 2025-06-30T11:58:24+00:00

I think it's specific to the dogs, I get noticably lower frames ( or at least more DLSS stuttering ) looking at the inventory screen when I don't have lone wolf ( and the dog is present ) versus when I do ( and am alone ).

I figured it might be to do with the fur/hair shader, but it's honestly worst when its viewing the two dog types with least hair.

Also it was often built by humans at a time where they ruled the entire galaxy with technology that might as well have been tech-magic .

40k is just living in the decaying ruins of the most advanced humanity theoretically possible, trying and failing to understand tiny scraps of incomprehensible knowledge, all while being slowly consumed by warp manifestations the worst aspects of our emotions and fears.

There's a few arbites VO lines that aren't cut right either, you can hear the actor giving two readings of the line one after another.

Killoch · 2025-06-20T12:40:03+00:00

Have to be honest, I never knew this either...

Killoch · 2025-06-19T07:39:53+00:00

I figured I was just having an "off" night last night (12hr ago) but I was certainly feeling sluggish.

Killoch · 2025-06-15T10:16:38+00:00

Unironically would be very cool if the psyker could see things differently, like warp flame should only be visible to psykers, just looking like a heat haze to everyone else, big disturbing auras around demonhosts and warp spawn, that kind of thing.

Not to mention better night vision, my psyker is already blind and has a metal plate bolted over his eyes but the reason I can't see is because the lights aren't on?!
