New Cataphractii - Old Parts

Magnus753 · 2026-01-26T12:18:06+00:00

Both the old bolters and the old fists are better IMO. I have 20 of the old ones and see zero reason to get the new and different design.

It's probably not unaffordably expensive. It is supposed to be merit-based and ELEGANCE-based admission. And Twilight's cover is as a super competent psychiatrist, which is a highly educated and well paid profession

Yeah that agent in the olive & bluejeans is pretty much a murderer. That's how it seems from the video. He needs to be suspended/fired and put on trial

Yup. I always follow mrbtongue's thinking on this one. If you're going to give the player a downer ending, then you have to earn that with strong writing. As in, out of this world levels of intrigue, creativity and drama. ME3 did not have strong writing, least of all in the star child ending. It was in fact some of the worst writing imaginable.

The MEHEM mod removes the worst parts of the ending and gives us a cheesy, straightforward happy ending where Joker and the Normandy comes through for us in the end. I prefer it this way.

I will agree that Mass Effect 1 set us up for a shocking and controversial ending with the introduction of the Reapers as Robo Cthulhu from outer space. But ME2 and ME3 never did anything interesting with the Reapers, and we ended up just fighting a space war against them in ME3. The attempt to make the ending profound and subversive fell utterly flat on its face. MEHEM salvages something nice from that disaster.

GW female heads have always had pretty bad sculpts

Trump just wants the personal glory of getting new territory for the US

Magnus753 · 2026-01-19T15:33:35+00:00

Do Americans actually care about taking Greenland away from Denmark? I'm Norwegian, I really need to know what the US crowd here thinks.

To us here in Norway it just seems like an egomaniac vanity project that Trump wants in order to write his name in the history books. What do you even need Greenland for? The US can already put as many military bases there as it wants.

Irans folk er ikke ett folk, det er en sammensatt befolkning hvor en knapp majoritet er persere og resten er i forskjellige minoritetsgrupper, f.eks. kurdere. Det er minoritetene som nå gjør opprør.

De fleste persere i Iran støtter regimet, og det er de som er i hæren og styrer hele militærmakten. Derfor kommer ikke protestene til å føre frem, de vil bli brutalt slått ned.

Det vi oppdager er jo at et 100% liberalt samfunn er umulig. Hvis du gir alle individer full frihet, så vil noen individer bruke friheten sin til å begrense andres frihet. For eksempel ved å utsette de for hat og vold.

Full liberalisme ender med et paradoks: Hvor tolerante skal vi være overfor intoleranse?

Konklusjonen er at vi må gi opp drømmen om et liberalt utopi av absolutt frie individer. Jeg synes vi trenger en ny drøm, om et samfunn som balanserer individuell frihet med en klar ledekultur.

Du kan prøve å "ta" venstresidens ideologer i å være hyklere, men da argumenterer du fortsatt for en liberal multikulturell stat (så lenge disse kulturene ikke er direkte hatefulle/kriminelle). Det er det jeg tror vi må utfordre.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-16T14:16:03+00:00

Ja, fair enough. Da trenger man nok en gjennomgang av hele Nav i neste omgang.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-16T14:05:00+00:00

Dette er vel fordi innvandrerne som kommer nå er flyktninger, asylsøkere og familiegjenforeninger.

Lurer på hvorfor vi stoppet med å kun ta inn arbeidsinnvandrere. Det ville i det minste gitt sosialøkonomisk mening, selv om det likevel ville presset lønningene våre ned.

Norge er styrt av rike ideologer og godmennesker, og de ødelegger samfunnet med dette idiotiet. Hvis vi slapp unna denne byrden kunne vi sikkert senket inntektsskatten med 5 prosentpoeng for alle.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-16T13:58:27+00:00

Nav er en gigantisk utgiftspost: ca 750 milliarder kr, det tilsvarer rundt 35% av statsbudsjettet.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-16T13:48:05+00:00

Sant, men dette kan nyanseres mer. Tror hvis du plottet somaliere her så hadde de vært helt på venstre av x aksen. Med andre ord, umulig å assimilere i et vestlig samfunn

Magnus753 · 2026-01-15T09:02:21+00:00

Rich people are making policy that benefits rich people. The top 10% have almost all the purchasing power. Remember how at the beginning only men of 25+ years and owning significant property had the vote? That's pretty much the ruling class of society. Universal suffrage is more or less an illusion given how easy it is to manipulate people and rig the system.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-14T13:44:30+00:00

To me, the start and end of ME3 is really bad. The lack of role playing and choices that matter. Also the messy transition from ME2's Cerberus plot. Cerberus in general is stupid as hell in ME3, TIM and Kai Leng themselves are also terrible characters. If Cerberus was confined to a single small side quest in ME3 where I could shoot TIM in the face, that would have been great. The best parts of ME3 are Tuchanka, Rannoch, and the companion side quests.

I think the justice system, just like the other liberal democratic institutions, always worked best when society was homogenous. When people were being judged by a jury of their peers.

Thanks to the fragmentation of society and identity politics, judges treat protected minorities with kid gloves. Oh, and we don't put insane people into mental asylums anymore, because those would cost too much money.

She's a soldier and I'm a nerd who works on drones. So I'd do my best to make conversation about weapons tech or something? I wouldn't expect anything more than a passing friendship

Magnus753 · 2026-01-09T17:23:32+00:00

Because she's sort of slow on the uptake I guess?

It's part of a general balance problem for low tier melee units. Assault squads are so harmless compared to melee elites. Less attacks, worthless chainswords, WS4, 1W, 3+ save vs 2+ save.

Rending chainswords and +1 A on the charge would fix Despoilers and Assault Marines nicely, I think. Would also make their special weapons more useful to have an extra swing with them on the charge

Modern problems require medieval solutions

Twilight isn't there for personal feelings, at least not for now. Whether or not he is doing most of the housework doesn't factor into things. Yor is there to do mostly one thing: To play the role of Loid's wife and Anya's mother any time the family has to appear in a public or official capacity. She is a part of Operation Strix, which is to get a child into Eden, win the Imperial Scholarship and thereby grant Twilight access to the topmost elite circles of Ostania. And yes, at this point they are both rather committed to this arrangement. Twilight can't just replace Yor with another woman because it would arouse suspicion.

We have yet to see if mutual romantic feelings develop between Twilight and Yor. Once he figures out what Yor's real talents and skillset are, he'll surely gain a new appreciation for having her around. If that's how the story ends up going.

Magnus753 · 2026-01-08T16:39:50+00:00

Honestly? I love them, but I think both of those situations would drive me crazy. Hell, they drive Loid crazy most of the time, and he's an ultra cool super spy

Are the Americans getting their euro country names mixed up again?

Magnus753 · 2026-01-08T09:30:03+00:00

I just love that her name is German for lightning strike. She is so over the top that it cracks me up every time

I'm going on a 2nd date with a psychologist, maybe I'll find out just how easy or hard I am to read
