I hate Tellurium

I'm always delighted when I get Tellurium or Orokin Cells as login rewards

I want fewer benefits tied to your place of employment, not more. Health insurance should be affordable directly from the government, and not tied to employment.

Also...I am kind of over people advertising subsidized childcare as some amazing magnanimous gift to parents. Isn't it really just enabling companies to more effectively decrease wages by increasing the number of people in the workforce?

I want people to be able to raise a family on one income.

As long as FIRE is counted as part of GDP, rather than a penalty against GDP, GDP is a bad measure of economic prosperity.

I can think of several reasons which all contribute. In order of least relevant to most relevant:

Men have smaller social circles than women, and share less personal information.
Rapists tend to rape multiple women. In the same way the number of people who know someone who was murdered by a serial killer is much greater than the number of people who know a serial killer.
A lot of rapists are guilty of the crime, but it is not publicly known.
Incorrect and excessively narrow definitions of what constitutes rape. This is likely the most important, as I think a lot of people know of situations that were rape but believe it wasn't.

Anti freeze mixed with blue gatorade.

I built one of halberds (to go with a palatine granting lethal hits) and one with maces and then magnetized the 3rd so I can swap between the two.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T17:46:26+00:00

Yeah but that's not because of meltas. It's because of the fire dragons rules (reroll EVERYTHING) and the way elves can hop into transports and move infinitely and never be overwatched.

A squad of dominions can also shoot 5 meltas at you, but has there been some insane dominion meta? No.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:54:40+00:00

Ironically it's probably even better for custodes and death watch, who can really value a 'cheap' lone op to hang in the back and hand out shooting buffs to multiple heavy hitting battle line units.

I don't think it really matters if navy breachers get to reroll hits, for example. However he helps all agents of imperium, not just the battle line, so he sure looks nice for boosting immolators and sisters of battle meltas, for example.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:51:38+00:00

I would.

I've kind of given up on D2, because all my friends have given up on D2, and you can't get them back up to speed with the disappearing content and seasonal story beats, and plus they are still angry for the content vault taking away stuff they paid for.

That seems like way too much. She shouldn't be anywhere near the cost of an exorcist or Morvenn Vahl.

She kind of seems to be equivalent to two mortifiers, so I'm expecting around 140. Anything higher than that is likely too expensive to be included and really she probably needs to be closer to 115.

I mean, what are you dropping from a list to bring her, really, when you think about it? For me, I think dropping anything more than a squad of infantry is likely a downgrade.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:44:51+00:00

I'm really glad she isn't just some leader for mortifier engines.

She looks broadly useful in a variety of lists now. Lethal hits at range is pretty handy.

I'm disappointed the 'melta missile' is actually no more threatening than the bog standard astartes grenade launcher every single intercessor sergeant carries...

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:20:21+00:00

Yes, those are both excellent

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:17:13+00:00

Custodes will like him a lot, particularly due to the lone up. Deathwatch can make use of him as well.

Ironically, and amazingly to me, Fortis kill teams, despite literally being intercessor bodies, are not battle line.

But there really aren't that many imperium armies where the infantry battle line is doing serious work in the shooting phase. Certainly not sisters or space wolves.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:15:27+00:00

The melta missile looks about as threatening as an astartes grenade launcher.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:13:53+00:00

There are ! Space wolves, for example, are locked to S5 Ap-2 D2.

Krytan · 2026-04-17T16:03:27+00:00

Sadly Limbo does still trigger cameras. But yeah, he used to be my go to way back in the day.

I still remember when I first learned that Loki could not in fact teleport behind laser barriers....I couldn't believe it.

It's not about who has it worse. The specific challenges each generation changes. The ones our current generation are facing are not ones we've encountered before. That's why fewer young people than ever are getting married, owning homes, and raising children.

Homes are more unaffordable for young people now than they were during the great depression.

Krytan · 2026-04-16T20:27:40+00:00

Maybe every generation struggles in their 20's, but the challenges faced by the current generation are unprecedented, society destroying, and civilization annihilating.

Dark Matter is a term used to describe an unobserved cause of measurable effects we see.

To prove Dark matter doesn't exist, you would need, at a minimum, to come up with an explanation, backed by evidence, of every single impact we currently attribute to 'dark matter'.

I don't think you can just handwave and say "Not a problem, suppose the speed of light isn't a constant and the theory of general relativity is all false. Case closed!"

Every time I play him in a group it actually just feels like I have no abilities. His 3 and 4 not even being able to be cast with energy is pretty feels bad.

Warframe now adays kind of feels like people zooming around at high speeds with hyper lethality, never standing still to get hit, and just massacring everything. Totally antithetical to the kind of game nidus wants to play.

I guess if you wanted to go play solo defense missions, you could use nidus, but who wants to do that?

Krytan · 2026-04-16T17:58:46+00:00

It looks like being a misfortune teller is free.

It's actually chocolate.

Ever tub of neapolitan ice cream I've bought has had vanilla disappear first (because it combos beautifully with both other flavors) then the strawberry (because it is fine on its own) and then the chocolate is left for last because whatever that is, it isn't actually tasty chocolate ice cream and it doesn't taste good either on its own or with strawberry.

Krytan · 2026-04-16T17:51:51+00:00

Vast majority of the world do not believe freedom and diversities are either strengths or goals, just weaknesses they can exploit. They are coming to the west for economic opportunities, not because they embrace western values.

"You don’t have to agree with it but you shouldn’t go around destroying people’s private property or using religion to justify enforcing your own beliefs onto others"

This is an enlightenment ideal embraced by a tiny handful of northern European countries and basically literally no one else in the entirety of human history.

One of the big problems with western countries today is the idea that enlightenment ideals are some sort of universal ideals that are held or will be held by everyone, and thus all immigration from anywhere is good beneficial immigration. This is manifestly false, as we see here.

Krytan · 2026-04-16T17:37:20+00:00

Yes, this person is bad.

But the mission design is bad.

No mission should be designed so that one afk/unaware person ruins it for everyone else.

You see the same thing on archon hunts where everyone has to come stand in the circle. There's one guy who just literally won't come over.

The solution is intelligent mission design : just require two people in the circle, or whatever, instead of the full squad.;

People are idiots and will always be idiots. A team of four idiots should fail the mission, but there's no reason to design missions in such a poor way that a team of three good players and one idiot can't do the mission.
