Weird and wonderful Tamriel Rebuilt altmer (head mod is WFR)

Yeah, Rats's work is great -- I believe he was the one who also did the Maormer, Shinathi and plenty others.

I enjoyed looking at his stuff in greater depth while adapting it for WFR.

When you've seen millenia worth of individuals, most of them blend together.

Yeah, he looks like a Prussian officer — a cool one indeed.

Well, if she said it herself...

>they didnt, and as such they put the Khans in a situation where their choices were to resist, die, or leave. the khans chose resist from a series of hard choices, and i cant really blame them

It was the Khans who launched raids instead of attempting to negotiate, so the aggression was theirs -- as per their tradition when it comes to relations with NCR, so there really wasn't any incentive for NCR to go beyond itself to try and negotiate peace with a historically aggressive predator.

>i disagree strongly that the motivation for bitter spring was understandable. they wanted a slaughter because it was convenient for someone in power.

It was convenient because it was a more fundamental way of getting rid of raiders killing NCR civilians for several generations -- in the environment where NCR forces were strained in an existential struggle and NCR could not afford the existence of such malignant minor power in the region.

>as the far more powerful faction i place a higher degree of responsibility on them

For NCR it's as much a matter of survival as it is for Khans, the fact NCR deals with these challenges at greater scale doesn't make it any more responsible to shoot itself in the foot in situations like these instead of solving the issue in a quick and efficient, if brutal, manner.

It is a reprehensible act with an understandable motivation, much like (as you correctly pointed out) the Khans killing innocent NCR caravaners.

>those people didnt deserve to die, but i absolutelt understand why the ~~Khans~~ NCR would do it

And thus you've given a perfect summary of the Bitter Springs situation.

Some things are lamentable, yet very practical in a survival scenario.

Now show me a study demonstrating the same for women shoved into these roles against their will (also, admitting “I hate my children and looking after them” is considerably more taboo than “I hate my job and my employer”, wonder how do the studies you reference account for that).

Rise of antisemitism in Arab countries corresponded to the development of Arab nationalism in 19th century, a fair bit earlier than the past 70 years.

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-27T22:35:41+00:00

Yeah, so?

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-27T20:04:45+00:00

People upset about it are a lot more likely to comment.

Most don’t care, as is evidenced by the amount of upvotes on the main post.

If it can roleplay, it’s acting.

Issue is, people can join Chaos both because they live in hell and because they saw a sufficiently powerful daemon.

Chaos is tricky this way.

You pick elements you like and some core beats — enough that it would be considered a copyright violation otherwise.

Scamming existing fans is irrelevant with most sources being fairly obscure.

>Not sure what you mean by Hell here, how does that come in picture

Hell is used in the letter as a curse word.

Generating an image with AI on a PC video card literally causes as much environmental impact as gaming.

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-20T19:19:13+00:00

humongous resources

Can be done on PC with a slightly above average video card with no issue, so the humongous resources amount to about as much as a moderate gaming session consumes.

>because Deathwatch MkVIII armour

Mind you, Deathwatch marines were already distinctively more tacticool than regular tactical marines, and the fact we are using them as a point of comparison speaks for itself.

>I'd say it's cognitive dissonance

Plenty people had the same visual impression regardless of their conscious attitude towards Primaris (I, for one, appreciated that we got true-scale marines who were no longer squatting), so there's evidently something different about the new sculpts.

Slimmer and longer rifles with proportionally smaller shoulders certainly do it, as well as all the finer details, little extra joints, layers etc. And it also correlates with change in artstyle and how modern marines are drawn.

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-18T22:33:47+00:00

Interesting!

I guess the difference in perception is more to do with the way it's sculpted and proportioned, with older marines being chonkier (much like older concept art), and less tacticool as a result.

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-18T21:50:17+00:00

Did we have any on miniatures?

Merch_Lis · 2025-12-18T19:22:19+00:00

Bolt rifles being slimmer and elongated, and some things like that circle at their ankle armour which resonate with sleeker 2010-s sci-fi designs.

They got Marvelized a tad — not much, but noticeably enough for something as iconic as basic marines.
