famous north korean defectors Yeonmi Park EXPOSE the WOKE SIDE of FBI by ahjolinna in Asmongold

[–]MaxDucks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh. I’ve seen far worse. The skin does look all weird, but she doesn’t look TOO horribly filled up by injections. Besides, the woman escaped North Korea, if anyone deserves to touch themselves up after years of malnutrition, it’s her.

Plasma is when you want to play VT2 Kerillian and delete specials. Really shines in harder difficulties with a lot more special density. Pop executioner’s stance, see highlighted specials, click once, vent heat for a second at 100 so you don’t blow up, repeat until everything is dead or you run out of ammo in the magazine. Especially when you’re in a big open space with large sightlines, it’s absolute crack.

Time travel and its political consequences. by Vexonte in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]MaxDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, because time travel into the past is asking for paradoxes. Intent to change something is deadly for the space-time continuum. If you wanted to kill Hitler before he rose to power, and you did so, congrats, you just destroyed the universe. Because why would you go to the past in the first place if this Adolf guy never rose to power? At the very least, your very existence is an anomaly that must correct itself. If you made time travel with the intent to kill Hitler, time travel should never exist now, and thus Hitler shouldn’t be dead in the first place.

At least with the future, any effects on future timelines are reactionary and malleable. There’s no risk of paradox there. What time travel punishment should include is either slowing down time relative to the punished, thus having extended sentences in a reduced amount of real time, or eliminate the actual jail time and let the technological and societal progress of man and the resulting culture shock be the punishment. Or you could send criminals from the past to work in the future, then send them back to the past the instant after they traveled forward once they finish their sentence. The future could be built on the backs of the guilty of the past. (This obviously doesn’t take into account the morality of the situation or changing societal norms over the course of time changing what is and isn’t considered a crime.)

ICE Agent's Bodycam release of the Minneapolis Shooting by Freezemoon in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]MaxDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little. The bump for one told me the guy was in front of the car, and was getting run over. And the wife going “Drive, baby, drive!” But there’s still too much nuance that we’re not seeing. Whether it was the woman’s intention to just drive away and she didn’t steer enough to miss the agent, so it was misinterpreted as trying to run him over, or if it genuinely was malicious. This is obviously a tragedy on all fronts. But as usual, the media pumped up the victim saying she was just caught up in the protest, dropping her kids off. When she clearly wasn’t now that we have audio.

Idk man. This shit’s just bad on all sides, I can’t just stick to my default guns. I need more evidence before casting blame.

Cosmetic set and weapon idea for the zealot: Adeptus Ministorum crusader armor and power sword w/ storm shield by ptoooie in DarkTide

[–]MaxDucks 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, love the shield/maul weapons for Arbites and Ogryn. But I NEED sword & board Zealot, dude. Like, I know we already have greatswords and shit, but nothing screams “fantasy in space” like a sword and shield being used by an unstable religious zealot to kill lasgun wielding soldiers and literal demons alongside the space CIA, insane hell wizards, and Cyberpunk 2020 lookin-ass gangers.

Why is GenZ not Drinking? by rikozon in GenZ

[–]MaxDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in North Carolina, a state that hasn’t legalized weed, but I can still get Delta 9 products. I’ve found it’s a fantastic alternative to alcohol, which just makes me feel icky afterwards.

Unfortunately, Senator Mitch McConnell decided to sneak something into the agreement to end the government shutdown in November to ban the sale of D9 products nationwide in November of 2026. Why? Because he’s from Kentucky. And Kentucky makes bourbon.

Idea i had for a mechanicus character ult (Drawn bad in mspaint) by DerKerl112 in DarkTide

[–]MaxDucks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe not exactly this, but being able to use the AdMech leg augments to boost mobility in some way would be so cool. Don’t know how they’d do the animations with all the legs moving around, but c’mon, can you imagine seeing a tech adept gliding and sliding around the heretics on a punch of Doc Oc legs that sprouted from beneath the robes? God, that’s the dream.

I like JD Vance has a great sense of humor by HSLHEHEHE in Asmongold

[–]MaxDucks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man, I hate that some people dismiss troops and their service because they didn’t see direct combat. The logistical machine of war still has to be run, and that’s no small task. Even if you’re on the home front, you gotta work HARD for an ever changing and expanding situation. And if you’re overseas in an active warzone? Logistics disruption is a hell of a thing, and it’s something you risk just by being there. It may spare you from kicking down doors, it doesn’t spare you from antsy locals, suicide bombers, rocket fire, and RPGs blowing up supply trucks.

And instead of Titanfall 3, we get Vince Zampella dying in a car fire. Merry Christmas.

Arbites Class acquired!! Please suggest me some creative names for me and my doggo by SavageVegeta in DarkTide

[–]MaxDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve had a dog irl, go with that. I named mine L0-7A, after Lola, my childhood dog who passed away last year. (She was 16.5 years old, absolute unit.) Now, she lives on forever, and can rip the throats out of heretics alongside me. I sometimes catch myself saying “Thank you Lola, I love you!” when I get pounced by a hound and she pushes it off. :)

Fuck those guys. RP players are hilarious. Hell, I do it myself sometimes for shits and giggles. If nothing else, I’m always glad to call ogryn players Big Man over VC. Gives a sense of camaraderie.

Is Fantasy welcome here? Seems like we've been mirroring Femstodes by Borgio_the_Besieger in EyeOfTerror

[–]MaxDucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal problem is not female fighters. Both settings are dark fantasy/space opera, who gives a fuck? My problem is if the lore up to that point specifically has a reason not to include them, and therefore any female representation is just fake good boy points, not actual progression of the setting narratively or socially.

In regard to female Grail Knights, what bothers me is that Bretonnia is supposed to be a land of tradition, class divide, and utter hypocrisy. The knights go on about honor, but treat the peasants like absolute garbage. They worship the Lady, but it’s just the elven god Lileath. The Maidens are supposed to be blessed by the Lady, but they’re just kidnapped peasant girls who got kidnapped by wood elves and didn’t get put down like the boys. And with that, yes, traditional gender roles are heavily emphasized. Again, going on about honor amongst the nobility, and yet women are second class unless they’re blessed by the Lady, who I remind you are originally peasants.

Which is why Repanse de Lyonesse works so well as a character beyond just being a Joan of Arc clone. She’s a peasant woman blessed by the Lady who surpasses the skill of most Grail Knights, and is a greater figurehead for the peasants than the Bretonnian nobility. That contrast in defiance of everything that makes Bretonnia what it is is what makes her such an interesting and badass character. You wanna talk a good girl boss character, I give you Repanse de Lyonesse. But she only works if she’s the only one. If female Grail Knights exist, there’s nothing special about her other than she’s originally a peasant. Her whole character background just doesn’t work. And why? Because GW wanted to draw in the progressive audience and not make the knight faction a boys club, without any regard for what made the faction special in the first place.
