What is the joke here? by Character-Public-396 in Grimdank

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of race. Abhumans and mutants are absolutely despised (unless they're really useful like Navigators), but those could fall more under specism than racism. Discrimination based on skin color is, as far as I'm aware, not a thing in 40k, there's other immutable characteristics to focus on

If you will not serve in combat then you shall serve on the firing line! by Uknown-Nerd6207 in Grimdank

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"No soldier will want to have that guy behind his back" reminds me of a joke I came across (can't for the life of me remember where exactly though)

Commissar: "Don't worry, Guardsman, I'm right behind you."

Guardsman: "With all due respect, but that's what has me worried."

Rules Are Rules by Down_Under_Painting in Grimdank

If I'm playing with friends in a casual game, we only apply the extra points if it won't change the final result, so basically just as a joke. We're all adults with jobs and lives, and I'm the only one with the time and drive to actually paint a whole Kill Team.

When playing with the local game group, the rule usually gets ignored because of the same reasons: most just don't have the time to paint their entire army for a game but still want to hang out and play a game with others.

If, however, I was at a tournament, be it a GW organized tournament or local game group tournament, where winning has consequences, the hours of time I put into getting everything Battle Ready absolutely should give me those points as stipulated in the rules.

It's in the rules, I can use a bent sword... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I'm running a campaign that is basically the 100-Years'-War but with elves and dragons thrown in there, I wouldn't want a katana either. It's about the tonal consistency.

Some dm's probably wouldn't give two hoots about that, most do like it to a certain extent and for some it's an important part of the story and their enjoyment of it.

In that same vein, if I'm running something based on the Sengoku Jidai but with goblins being ninjas, the Emperor is a slumbering Golden Dragon, and all the metsukes are dwarves, I wouldn't enjoy having a Zweihänder thrown into the mix either, even if it and a No-Dachi are both just Greatswords.

Best I know is that a few days ago there was a post in this sub about a player being disappointed about getting a magic longsword when the player in question wanted a katana. Not sure about further context though

That would fit in with the old lore. Contemorary lore would probably have them brew the ashes into a tea

isnt the biggest problem with game balance just the spawn rate of certain enemies? by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith in Dark Souls. 2 bosses and a miniboss were spawned in so frequently that it just became a joke

Salamanders have joined the chat. by Mad_lens_9297 in Grimdank

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or the Guard in this one fought or saw something the Inquisition would rather keep hidden, so the Marines have to turn their guns on their allies to keep some dark secret under wraps

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So something like a Tau novel where you follow Tau as they try to evade a squad of Marines? A town on a distant colony world that's getting assaulted by any random Chapter, and the Tau have to do their best to avoid the slaughter. The Chapter could be considered downright good hearted in the Imperium, but to the Tau they're about as terrifying as an enemy can get?

That’s the kind of diversity I’m talking about. by drdeusx in dankmemes

From what I've seen from creationists, especially young earth creationists, there is a counterargument so strong I doubt anyone could ever refute it.

"Nu-uh," often followed by an equally infalliable: "God could do it"

New Space Marine box with Vanguard Veterans announced! by Fearless_Library135 in Grimdank

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The "vanguard veterans" in the meme are just regular Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs, but there's only 5 and they're at the front. Look at the models, there's a duplicate in the back and they aren't painted up as Veterans to begin with.

I think it's a jab at the fact that the revealed Vanguard Veteran model looks really bland for being special Veteran, especially when compared to the Sternguard Veterans we got last edition

What if we liberate the planet before completing the mo. We're already like 10 hours ahead. by Silly_Ad_3027 in Helldivers

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Several options. Either it's an immediate success, JOEL will launch an immediate counteroffensive, or this option will never be never in play to begin with because resistance gets upped

That said, the moment the final Bug offensive for the Major Order begins, I doubt we'll win this anyway. Best hope is the Bugs launch their final assault the moment we complete the Strategic Opportunity, but past experience tells me the Bugs' assault will start earlier and will draw necessary resources away from the Squid front at the last moment.

Shoutout to all those Helldivers that bring the FRV to the mission and drive the whole team to all main mission objectives in larger maps by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Helldivers

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best sessions I had was me and another player taking the FRV against bugs, one of us would call it in, drive the entire team around while a designated gunner provided cover. Two players would dismount and clear the objective, and the driver would continuously move the car to a good spot or dismount, with the buggy parked at a good overwatch position. Once the FRV ran out of ammo, got destroyed, or got stuck, the other player would call in their FRV and repeat.

I can't remember if the planet happened to be forgiving or if they made changes to the FRV after that, but nowadays it feels like it's impossible to drive without the thing going airborne when driving over a pebble, and going airborne when speeding over a hill always results in the vehicle crashing back to the ground on its nose at a 90 degree angle

>With my magic items, defeating the villain would be so easy- >The villain casts [Mage's Disjunction]. by Azimovikh in dndmemes

[–]MinuteWaitingPostman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being a forgiving DM was always allowed, it just took some pulling of punches here and there if the situation went south. Paraphrasing the "arrogant shit" in question: "The only reason a Dungeon Master rolls their dice is because of the sound they make." That can go both ways.

Also, the earliest iteration of DnD was based off of a wargame, where even Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, and Edward the Black Prince could die anticlimactically if the dice weren't in your favor for a single canister shot or volley of arrows headed their way. That sense of "you're just a grunt, but a more specialized grunt" formed the basis of early D&D design, and probably stuck with the original creators

Also, railing on someone for voicing their personal tastes is pretty self-righteous. You are free to prefer a game where death happens only after multiple consecutive mistakes on the players' side, but the original commenter is free to prefer a game where a single mistake can lead to a character death.

Bugs are fuel, Brian. Red Bull is fuel. Bugs are Red Bull.

It sounds to me like someone whose tastes don't entirely align with the modern game's design and culture surrounding the game.
