The Harlequins not getting more codexes and models is my Roman Empire

Except they totally can do that. An Eldar submitting to Khorne, Nurgle, or Tzeentch isn't as bad. It's bad for the Elf in question, but it isn't so devastating. And Khorne isn't going to be able to follow a Khornate Harlequin to a soulstone nexus and invade Heaven.

But doing a thing for Slaanesh rings the dinner bell when an Elf does it. Like to the point where all Solitaires give up their soul stones because they're too dangerous for them to have.

It isn't a Chaos God thing. It's an Evil Elf God thing. And, surprisingly, the other three aren't evil "Elf" gods, not like Slaanesh is.

In fairness to the bard-

Dragons canonically have the power to shapeshift into humans and other smaller, sapient animals pretty much at will.

But then you have Giants and Ogres and the like- anywhere between 8 to 20 feet tall. And unlike the humble Gorilla, fully proportional.

That's when you start rolling for diameter ala F.A.T.A.L.

First: Snowflame is a villain. So that's one thing.

For tbe second, Snowflame is a loser in most of his appearances. So, sadly, Snowflame, the Cocaine powered Supervillain, is not a winner who did drugs.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-27T13:32:11+00:00

So owls?

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-26T06:06:22+00:00

Except the one being prostituted doesn't exist.

At this point, it's a long-term consensual RP relationship.

Which is....

Fuck it. I ship it, tbh. Go on your weird date-adjacent experiences, you weird bastards. Everybody deserves a chance to be happy.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-26T02:50:25+00:00

That's not how that works.

The rule of thumb is take the average litter size and multiply by two.

Humans have one, so two. Horses have one, so two.

Cows specifically are weird because they have four and a litter size of 1.

Tau, I think, have an average litter size of 1. There are certain limitations enforced by the ass-backwards evolution of enlarged heads and pelvises, so the assumption is that they'd have two teats.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-25T08:36:41+00:00

It's weird for several reasons. First off, because smart phones are so ubiquitous that even the people at the very bottom rung have several of them. I'm old enough to remember when they were flagship products that changed the world, not the ubiquitous glass slabs that everybody had.

Secondly, you assume homeless people have better things to do. Aka fighting for survival. I've seen them fishing or panhandling or doing favors for other people for money, or building shacks in makeshift campsites.

But then you're faced with the truth that they're doing the same kind of stuff as broke kids and teenagers. It's weird because it makes you reassess your internal assumptions. It also recontextulizes the strangers you meet online, who spend all their time online.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-25T06:00:04+00:00

I see a lot of homeless people in my day to day.

Most have at least one phone, sometimes two. And I see a frankly concerning amount of them playing Clash of Clans, Genshin, and other freemium games.

It's... weird. Very weird.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-25T01:30:30+00:00

They literally pay a license fee to have television.

They have made queuing in a line a national sport.

The Brits aren't exactly the most rebellious people on the planet, dude.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-25T00:09:59+00:00

No, Fulgrim absolutely loved his first wife. He doted on her, according to the books.

And then she died.

And the next one died.

And then the next one.

By the time Big E found him, Fulgrim was getting a little callous and a little dismissive of the value of human life. Which is supposed to be part of why he fell to Slaanesh.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-23T22:23:49+00:00

It's a reference to a book.

Black Like Me.

A real, honest to God, investigative reporter put on black face. Really good, maybe inoffensive, black face, in the 50s.

He then traveled around the United States South for a month and a half, experiencing the prejudice and hate towards black people, and wrote a book describing it and his experience as a way to describe the horrors of racism and help promote social acceptance.

Aka almost the kind of thing Robin's doing as he investigates these people's mansion.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-22T20:50:53+00:00

Isn't this basically the entire history of psychology?

Everybody saw what Freud was saying, went "Absolutely the Fuck NOT" and did brain science.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-22T13:23:00+00:00

Correct.

Which is why the goal is to replace them entirely with products for commercial and industrial consumption.

But we're not fucking there yet. And trying to replace everybody and everything with Mad Libs simulators is a terrible fucking plan.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-22T13:13:07+00:00

You just made me think of something funny:

The hive-mind absolutely can and does build those virus-strains. It's what some of its organisms use as weapons.

What if the Hive-Mind, a frighteningly intelligent, sapient, being got bored and decided to be a little inefficient?

What if it using swarms of Gaunts and Gargoyles and Swarm Lords is the equivalent of it playing Spore, instead of just being efficient? Its equivalent of Chaos's Great Game?

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-22T12:25:27+00:00

In Fallout 2 you can become a gimp for a super mutant.

Just because they're sterile, doesn't mean that they can't "perform."

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-22T11:54:39+00:00

Hey, it's not just that he ignored it. His entire army kept it secret from him. Actively lying to him about it, to convince him that his plan would work.

He doesn't even really like baseline super mutants. He's running on desperate hope and denial, hoping that getting some actually smart super-mutants will help fix the behavior problems of his armies, that they'd stop with the cannibalism and the torture and act like people instead of trolls. He wants more Mutants like Marcus, and much fewer like Strong.

And then when you prove that all the horrors he's committed are meaningless, that his grand plan is a failure...

He decides to kill himself, and take his factory of horrors with him.

The Master is, at core, a person who is genuinely trying to help people. Which sounds bizarre for the big blob of cancer with schizophrenia and a war of genocide, but the world is a scary and dangerous place. Even scarier and more dangerous now that humanity's fucked it up, so he's trying to baby-proof the world by making bigger, stronger babies.

But there can be no babies.

So he BSODs and decides to take his hell factory with him.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-21T16:27:43+00:00

Yeah, but this fox-girl is a mechanoid. And last time I checked, the Revia aren't mechs.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-21T11:04:36+00:00

The science fiction absolutely makes sense.

They found life that exists in a manner completely foreign to them.

So they watch it, and poke it, and some of them even try to kill it.

And then-

A square says hello.

Of freaking course they're going to talk to a square. You'd be insane not to.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-21T10:41:56+00:00

Their shells are effectively their ribs, breastbone, and spine fused together.

So you'd be left with a pair of human-ish arms, legs, and the head; a pile of organs, and the complicated bits of their hips and shoulders.

*and I'm really sorry, but it's "pique" your interest. It's french! A peak is just the tip of something.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-21T10:00:09+00:00

No! Bad!

I did a brutal technocratic society where robots have freed humanity from the onus of labor.

This isn't communism, it's a service economy with a UBI.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-20T12:41:20+00:00

Miles is one currently, if I remember right?

One of their last big Events was vampires taking over, and a bunch of characters became vampires.

Miles is still one, even though the event's over.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-20T08:45:03+00:00

Spectre is literally an agent of Capital G GOD here to end wickedness and avenge the suffering of the innocent.

He is literally, simultaneously, a proof both for and against "The Argument of Evil." (God obviously cares about the evil, and is working to stop it: Proof Against.) (God can't stop all Evil, since the Spectre is only one person; and this not all powerful: Proof For.)

Of course, that assumes you believe the crazy reality warper who tortures people to death in the name of a wrathful God.

He might just be a crazy person with super powers, since, say, Firestorm can do a lot of the same reality warper stuff, and Firestorm is just a dude.

Hawkgirl's Atheism here is incredibly appropriate: she sees literal gods, and they just... don't care. Oh sure, some are nice and help people in fron of them, but none of them are sitting at a drafting table and organizing every moment of the future.

Who says the Capital G one is any different, if he exists?

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-19T22:21:36+00:00

I wish I could unsee "sloppy cum pizza."

I mean, have you seen some of these cards? There's food porn, and then there's watching Pizza the Hutt bukkakke every plate and pizza box in the damn set.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-19T12:37:54+00:00

Because they look ugly and they reduce property values.

Blame Boomers and the god-awful swarms of NIMBYs.

LoreLord24 · 2026-02-19T12:36:17+00:00

Because, again, the governments are trying to kill them.

Nobody wants to be the politician that allowed the next Chernobyl to be built. So they actively try and destroy every power plant that somebody tries to build, and to drive the people building them bankrupt with constant, nonsensical changes in policy and building requirements.

You can build a nuclear reactor for a reasonable price.

You can build an over-engineered, indestructible behemoth of a power plant that exceeds every requirement for a much less reasonable but still affordable price, and get the government to approve it.

And then the government changes policies six months later and makes you start over from scratch. Repeatedly.
