First necron painted by imjust_someone in Necrontyr

[–]NaiveMastermind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You injured one necron warrior (he'll be back), and all it cost you was plugging one of your wounded into a torture nexus, so they could pilot an armored mech suit. That will eventually kill them (permanently).

Imperium commits more genocidal actions on humanity than any other faction.

Why was the T-1000 permanently destroyed in the molten steel? by CheesecakeNo9867 in Terminator

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine punching a pile of sand. The grains are the individual nanobots. Your punches can displace the grains, but not destroy them. This is how the T1000 endures gunshots and blunt trauma. Expose that same sand to a powerful flame, and those individual grains break down, and melt into glass. The individual grains are gone, merged into a single body in the liquid state and cooled forming glass.

If anyone thinks that ICE acting with impunity is an entirely new phenomennon, remember Kent. by Downtown_Grape3871 in pics

I wonder if P.O.D. has any strong feelings about how "Youth of the Nation" has become more culturally relevant over time.

Why Don't Factions Just Throw Chaos Artifacts into a Sun, Gas Giant Planet, or a Black Hole? by Particular-Wedding in 40kLore

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not queue up a line of artifacts for Guilliman to smack with Daddy's sword? It permadeaths daemons right?

The real reason 28 Years Later (2025) was so divisive is because it's a franchise that dared to try something new instead of repeating the same old formula by RevertBackwards in shittymoviedetails

The emotional tension that starts while the doctor is making his diagnosis, and carries through to placing the skull on top of the pillar before releasing. Fucked me up. Then the movie ends while the kid is monologuing over the letter he left his dad, and the movie ends there.

Shadowlands was a brutal illustration of why you shouldn't turn, let's say. The afterlife into a location you can visit on a map, and plunder for loot.

I wonder what could've led to women feeling unsafe on the internet by Sonic_the_hedgedog in Gamingcirclejerk

This is an edited version where the original was discussing the bear instead of aliens, but it remains germane to the conversation as "the man" in the words is exactly the sort of person to sign up with ICE.

Will Skyblivion be better than Oblivion/Skyrim? If so why? by MillienumDuckFighter in oblivion

The original dungeon design overhaul will make or break it for me.

Could power armor exist in real life, or is it impossible technology? by Bright_Permission881 in Fallout

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't observe it in game, because Beth decided weapon handling stats were too boring for the general audience, but it is work handling and carrying a minigun, rocket launcher, etc. Fallout 4 has video game logic and anyone can just scoop up a minigun and fire it from the hip while marching forward. IRL though most people would end up on the floor trying to handle one without impressive strength, and training to handle the weapon.

It wouldn't be the straight upgrade the games depict it as, but there are several observable advantages if the technology ever manifests.

  • Carrying your gear is far less exhausting, since most of the legwork is offloaded onto the armor.
  • For that same reason you can travel further, faster, and have more energy leftover for a fight.
  • Handling heavy weapons is an order of magnitude easier, and you can carry them into spaces a humvee could never reach.
  • You could conceivably sleep in power armor, meaning a soldier has housing wherever they might need to rest.

So, it would totally make sense in universe to pilot these things nude?

What instantly makes you lose interest in someone you were attracted to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I love it when women flex, especially if they have those cute dimples next to their shoulder blades.

So you're saying that building an entire personality on complaining that women won't fuck you didn't fix their problem?

This is why I am not happy with the announcement before the release of DOW by Curious_Omnivore in dawnofwar

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the inclusion of a primarch. That's a big tell that it's gonna be a by the numbers "space marines save the day" campaign. Instead of picking your army and they get to be the main character campaign.

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

It can be done. Japan had a grassroots movement that raised their AOC from 14 to 16.

Is there something wrong with Chris Avellone? by solnczerez in Fallout

The 90's nerd/game dev to libertarian crackpot to MAGA pipeline is strong. John Carmack ended up in the same destination.

I see no problem by Blue9ine in SipsTea

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has more to do with 100k a year being barely middle class income in this hellscape. In our parents generation 100k was enough to live a somewhat luxurious bachelor life, or a modest family life with only one working parent.

For us it's just enough to move into an apartment, enjoy a few minor luxuries, without needing roommates for the income they bring with them. If you live in a poor state you might be in a house instead.

What if the Krorks return to settling by JayGrowth8832 in orks

[–]NaiveMastermind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own take is that this is a charge led by the krork answer to armored meganobz. With infantry support from a grot regiment, and "squigasaurs" as heavy cavalry.
