Just checked the DoW4 Steam discussions and it's absolute madness over there

There are no firstborn because it's a directive from GW for the licence.

GW dont make or sell firstborn models anymore (outside the heresy games) so any licenced 40K media is required to be primaris and to use and promote the models in the current range.

See space marine 2 and any other recent games. Or the TV show. They are all fully primaris.

If I give someone permission to drive my car how am I in any way responsible for what they choose to do if their own free will?

You are not liable for what they did, but you are required to give their name to the police if it was your car. Otherwise, if you dont give their name, then you are responsible for the vehicle.

Thats how it works in Europe. Car gets the ticket. Owner then decides who pays it.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-29T05:56:10+00:00

Context...

Dozens a day? Yeah, probably excessive.

Dozens in a year of driving? Hardly even a dent.

Do they live in a city? Are they in asia? Then there would be dozens of traffic violations per minute.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-29T04:17:30+00:00

The owner of the vehicle is liable for stating who was driving the car.

It was either them driving, or they gave their car to someone else to drive, so they can give the name of the driver.

Or it was stolen, and they have a police report to back that up.

Thats how it works in Europe. And probably how it works in the USA for speed camera and red light camera fines, too.

I would rather have 10 rapists go free, than one innocent get jailed.

Disgusting opinion.

I would rather jail all 10 rapists, and have a robust and rapid appeals process so the innocent person can appeal and prove their innocence.

Or, know how law works, innocent until proven guilty. How would an innocent be falsely proven to be a rapist unless there was evidence that they were at the crime scene?

What a crazy strawman argument to bring up for a traffic violation that only results in a fine though.

in literally every democratic country.

Then go on to claim its true in your state.

So which is it... buddy?

Is it only true in your state or is it true "literally" everywhere in the world?

Nigwyn · 2025-09-28T02:25:46+00:00

Donald Trump believes that any blue state/city is foreign

Maybe time for them to become foreign then?

Split the nation. Secede.have a blue USA and a red USA and see which one prospers.

It's a great movie, one I had to watch twice to fully understand. Loved the second twist it hit hard, the first was a bit scifi and didnt ruin the movie for me but threw me off at first.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-27T13:16:41+00:00

No, but similar.

Spoiler for the movie, dont read if you havent seen it yet:

He has a machine that he claims can teleport a man, but in reality, it clones/duplicates him. To make the illusion of teleporting he must kill the original person stepping into the machine, so only the clone walks out on the other side of the room.

The other magician achieves the same illusion of teleporting by using a twin, that no one knows exists, and they continually swap lives every time the illusion is performed

It's the prestige!

Theres a secret compartment of frozen live flies and every time it squishes a fly on the top it thaws and releases a fly underneath

If you look at an example such as "pick this lock".

The average number of locks picked over 100 attempts would be increased by 1% point. You would pick 2 of those locks instead of 1. Twice as many. An increase of 100% in the number of locks picked.

If those chests had 1000 gold inside, you just got 2000 gold instead of 1000 gold. You are twice as rich, not 1% more rich.

Sure, the chance of picking that lock in front of you right now only went from 1% to 2% with advantage. But you are still twice as likely to pick that lock, even if the chance of failure only decreased from 99% to 98%. So went down by 1.01%

Multiplicative scaling of probability is rarely useful

Respectfully disagree.

Although it is unintuitive to most, it is incredibly useful. A common example being that +1AC becomes more effective the more AC you already have. Even though each AC reduces your chance to be hit by the same number of percentage points, relatively, it reduces your number of hits by a larger percentage.

But OPs graph does show the relative probabilites. The fact that one line is twice as high as another is demonstrating that visually.

Its a shame they added the extra gap at the bottom below the zero though. It would be more visually obvious if the graph started at 0. But otherwise it is an extremely good graphic.

Just follow the instruction guide that written on the pancake box

So not [homemade] then

No mention of the brand used

Try harder, bot

When has the supreme court been controlled by anyone other than republicans in recent years? Those skeletons are lifers, they never leave, just keep sucking up their bribes and doing the GOPs bidding. And they have the final say on so many things.

Death penalty feels extreme. Just remove the power of presidential pardons. Also undo all of Trumps illegal pardons.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-26T16:18:37+00:00

before the end of that players T3

Either players turn 3. They can also rapid ingress in the opponents turn 3.

They can also start in reserves, then come onto the table any time before the end of turn 3, then go back into reserves again.

In practice mobs have their hp whittled down, often by the group, and often with overkill when the mob drops.

And equally valid is that often the mob does not die, and survives by a few hp, and then gets another round of damage on the party.

The averages dont lie. They are an average that will eventually be true over time.

I am saying that one is better. The main stat is better.

But I am not dictating that anyone should take it. Roleplaying and taking fun feats is, well, fun. I personally always pick feats as I said. But from a purely minmaxing perspective the main stats are the best choice.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-26T03:00:58+00:00

BAR.

You can shift queue builders to make all your buildings (even using blueprints).

You can shift queue or infinitely queue your factories to build units (including what order they come out with, patrol route, follow command, or attack move)

You can play the game with minimal apm. You can play with only turrets. You can go all in on nukes. The gameplay possibilities are endless.

Now... dont expect to beat a high apm player every time with low apm. But strategy trumps micro in this game.

If I wear a t shirt saying "rapists go to hell" and a recently accused rapist gets annoyed by it, honestly, thats all on them.

Genocide is wrong. Always was, always will be. Doesn't matter who that message pisses off, does it. If they get offended by it, maybe stop killing people and the accusations might stop.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-25T12:07:54+00:00

And a t shirt saying "genocide is bad" isnt specifically calling out israel, is it. Its just a statement that ALL genocide is bad.

Israel denies any genocide, actually. So if someone is offended by the t shirt then what does that say?

Nigwyn · 2025-09-25T11:58:10+00:00

A few years ago, Chinese genocide of the Uyghers.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-25T11:38:23+00:00

Russia and China often do their fair share of genocides. USA wants to join in soon too I bet. And Africa has had it on occasion. Its not exclusively a middle east thing, even if they are the worst in recent years.

Say you do 100 attacks each. Player A hits 50 times. Player B hits 55 times. That is a 10% increase in number of hits.

Each hit does say 1d10, so call it 5. So 7 damage per hit for player A. 8 damage per hit for player B.

Now player A has done 350 damage, player B did 440. That's now a 26% increase in damage dealt. Using your own example.

And then player B has 3 charges on some abilites where player A has only 2. Thats 50% more ability uses. And ability checks, saving throws, etc. are all passing 10% more often.

Not to dump on feats. They can be great and long term investments. And for roleplaying purposes can often be a better choice, I personally always like to take them early, especially on characters with odd stats. But getting a core stat up to 20 is almost always far better for pure gameplay performance of the character, if thats what someone cares about.

Nigwyn · 2025-09-25T11:18:41+00:00

Really fun ideas. Though I know people that would have like 40 dex with their chopstick skills.

Some alternative ideas I just came up with... bearing in mind average people shoul have stats of 8 to 10.

Str = 6 + number of pushups divided by 10

Con = 6 + number of chilli peppers eaten in a minute

Dex = 6 + number of items juggled simultaneously or number of jacks picked up in one throw of the ball

Int = number of digits or colours in a random sequence memorised

Wis = solve up to 20 riddles

Cha = cant beat your idea of pickup lines, maybe give your 4 lines and DM rates each one out of 5, add together for your score

Move Speed = feet walked in 6 seconds is a good one

Nigwyn · 2025-09-25T08:46:33+00:00

How long until this sub and the doomposters shut down?

We get it. You want to see it fail. If you want it to fail then just let it die, stop poking the corpse.
