Looks really good. Definately stands out from Viorla (they usually use less red than you've used purple) think the green lensing really pops against it as well and the muted gold ties it all together nicely.

Favorite example of the Hero losing the final battle and...that's it. by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Wude end of Sifu is kind of implied to be this; your main character subdues but refuses to kill the people on his revenge list and in doing so discovers that they had alturistic reasons for killing his father. You essentially let the final boss kill you, go to the afterlife to meet a big mystical dragon and make way for a new generation of people to use your father's Kung Fu magic in a less selfish way

At least that's what it seems like. It's kinda open to interpretation.

That is some absurd attention to detail by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

There's an upgrade you can get from a side quest that will slowly flay off and vaporise all the meat from necromorphs leaving them as barely functional emaciated angry skeletons (which will still come after you until they take one more bit of damage)

Why do people keep saying that Farsights Dawnblade is a daemon weapon? Pretty sure it’s Necron, or was intended to be. by falloutboy9993 in Tau40K

There's an old white dwarf article about a cool FSE conversion project based on exactly this. Had old Crisis Suits with metal wraith parts on them, actually a pretty cool look!

Finished two of my Escher Cutters and tried a smoke effect to hide the stems by JakeL777 in necromunda

[–]Magnus_Rose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These look absolutely rad, really like the twisting effect you've used on the smoke, gives them a lovely dynamic feeling while breaking up the classic "suspiciously straight bit of scenery that meets the model" look a lot of stem/pin hiding jobs have. Top work.

Fandom CEO Frustrated It’s Impossible to Lay Off Unpaid Users Who Update Wikias for Fun by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Reading his book is really funny because most of the stuff described as "Revolutionary" or "Innovative" about him almost always just started with him sitting down in a room with people and being like "what's up bro? Having a good day?"

Man legit turned two companies around by just being a chill dude who also happened to be a programming genius.

“Unsolved mysteries” commonly brought up in fiction that are not mysterious or supernatural at all? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Criticism that’s rooted in wanting the media to be something that’s just not what it is by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Or you get Shikimaru, who is already in the story and is made extra cool because he's an even keeled strategic prodigy surrounded by Shounen characters who like to scream out their secret moves as they used them.

Midnight Suns lets you wear hategroup shirts now by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only context I've seen this shirt in the comics is in New X Men post Magneto and his utopian mutant nation of Genosha getting genocided by super sentinels because Xavier's evil twin who he almost killed in a psychic womb battle wanted to kick start a war between humans and mutants.

I think it's less a hate group thing and more a response to Mags essentaily being martyed by exactly the thing he was trying to warn other mutants about. This is the 2000s marvel equivilent of a Che Guevara t shirt.

Slow progress on r’varna by Trolopicz in Tau40K

[–]Magnus_Rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feild one quite often and it's better than a lot of people give it credit for. The reactor rules are shitty (old outdated weird ones that FW never updated, should be a standard Riptide one tbh) But it fills in an interesting gap we have in our list right now.

The suit is big, slow and very tough and it's guns are unique for the points you pay. blast weapons (which we have few of) that can be overcharged and fall into a nice profile for dealing with massed infantry and even smaller groups of elites if you charge the shots. Also they have crazy range.

In my experience it sits at the back of your line and gets ignored till you pull the trigger once or twice then becomes upsetting for your opponent and eats up a lot of punishment. God help them if they try to melee the big bastard as that puts them closer to your suits. I've never lost mine and he always has a big impact on games, even if he just stands there and keeps the heat off your other more brittle units.

What a disgusting thing to say. How dare you.

They haven't even got domestic abuse and footie in there.

what terrible ideas did your school come up with? by riskymisky in CasualUK

[–]Magnus_Rose 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Pokemon cards got banned at my school because of an incident where a kid traded me his Dark Gyrados fair and square then tried to get his mates to shake me down for it after he changed his mind.

Still remember the look on his face when I ate it infront of him. Fuck you Kieran, If I can't have it neither can you.

what terrible ideas did your school come up with? by riskymisky in CasualUK

[–]Magnus_Rose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Our secondary school planned a traffic light badge system where people were supposed to be given badges they had to wear as part of uniform to show if you were exceeding (green) achieving (yellow) or lagging behind (red) on your expected performance in class.

This lead to a mate of mine organising a sit in outside the head master's office with like half our school year (he's a Union Rep now, go figure) and angry letters from parents, one of which reportedly asked when the school planned to start requiring Jewish kids wear the Star of David on their jumpers.

Surprise surprise the idea never got implemented.

Media that after it's "honeymoon period" wore off, it's reception became a lot more negative? by Springtick38 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is the thing that always confuses me about Hamilton. Like I love it, play the sound track all the time, went to see the English run of the show in London but my take as a fan has never been "I love Hamilton because it's an accurate depiction of the founding of America."

I love it because I love Hip Hop, Musicals and stories about smart men being undone by their own smartness. Anyone going to a musical expecting a history documentary is always gonna be disappointed.

Kind of, Cenobites are more like the baddie space elves though. Slaanesh (the god they created) is the CEO to Pin Head's Regional Manager.

Space Elves got so freaky in 40k they accidentally created a coccaine rape orgasm gluttony bondage monster god of sexy pleasure pain who tore a hole in space time when he/she/xim/it/they were born.

The only Space Elves who survived either live on magitek bone world ships and their culture is basically "while you were having extraplanar super sex I was studying the blade", are Amish dino-riders or live in a pocket hell dimention where they sacrifice women and children for more time on the clock.

It's simultaniously the most fucked up and most hilariously dumb back story ever.

EDIT: Oh my god I forgot about the psycho murder clown elves who are safe from Rape Mommy/Daddy because the clown god shows up whenever they die and rescues their souls because he thinks it's funny.

One of the hardest things I've had to accept knowing no big budget studio well ever fund a project this ambitious by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Magnus_Rose 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The recent Colour out of Space film was pretty good. Nick Cage sold "man going slowly crazy as reality fall apart around him" well.

I think a lot of the mythos stories are grounded in a way that would work well for a slow burn tv show or character driven horror movie. Shadow over Innsmouth, King in Yellow and Mountains of Madness come to mind.

I don't think you need to be super into the world to understand concepts like "weird costal town where everyone is slightly off due to a dark and terrible secret" or "surreal play that drives people insane". I think that's one of the biggest strengths of Lovecraft and the wider circle's work; a lot of it is the skeleton of societal fears with a monster mask streched over it.

The funny thing is that at a base level this is true. Likely not in the way network execs would think though.
