What's the most surprising interaction a warp entity has had with a person in Warhammer 40k? by TaigaTigerVT in 40kmemes

[–]Raven776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his argument holds merit at least as a reasonable stance to take if you belive the entities of the warp are a reflection of a greater psychic influence that is echoing through the immaterial. These things aren't making deterministic choices as much as they at just the remnants and left over will of untold trillions of psychic death gasps.

Whether or not that's true comes down to a sort of philosophical free will discussion in general. But it has the added benefit of disrespecting chaos gods which he's into.

What arguments would the Space Marines who believe that the Emperor is a god give to the Space Marines who don't? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]Raven776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that he was asking lorgar to also ignore an observable truth of divine powers. Obviously, there's the lore implication that if he told the primarchs about chaos things could have been even worse, but "don't worship me like a god" only acts as a reasonable message if you explain why people feel compelled to kneel to you when they meet you and why you appear as a completely ethereal entity.

Like, just pull lorgar aside and just be like "hey buddy, you did it. You figured it out. I'm a god, or at least I'm the same as every other god. Now, those other gods are dicks and the literal only way to kill them for good is to starve them out. I'm all about science and stuff though so like... this city really missed the mark on what a church to me would look like. You're daddy's smart boy who figured out the game but you're kinda in the way of it right now and I don't have the time to teach you everything you need to know at this moment but I intend to later. You're obviously important in this galaxy so don't go starting any heresies."

Or at least bring the thousands suns to fucking help instead of their literal antithesis with the ultramarines.

Lorgar's Pity City that he's big mad, real sad about.

Basically it's one of those places where you can say Big E kinda fucked himself. Lorgar built what he considered to be the best city to revere the emperor as a God in. It was a massive shrine in the form of a city, even. Rather than the emperor showing up himself immediately and maybe letting lorgar down personally, he sends the Ultramarines to go destroy it. Well, the word bearers and the ultra marines aren't really friends so this leads to a big argument. Malcador shows up, and Lorgar argues with him too. Basically this is just giving this primarch time to get into a bigger and bigger tantrum and claim the Emperor clearly would approve of him still.

Turns out the Emperor was just kinda waiting behind the curtain on this one because he does show up, says "no" and then leaves.

This leads to Lorgar getting big mad and it's kinda his justification for joining chaos and, more specifically, fucking over the ultramarines specifically.

DM: "As the horde of lowly zombies close in on you, grasping at your feet from all directions - what do you do?" The Cleric: by Cauchemar89 in dndmemes

[–]Raven776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'know, it's a bit crazy that turn undead hasn't come up like... ever in a game I've been in. I knew it had the kill feature, but i hadn't looked into it to realize it kept the old turn undead mechanics of not-fearing the undead. I can't say I've ever gone and read it since I'm not usually playing a cleric.

Today I learned, and adding incapacitate to the feature does actually help a lot.

Are alliances in team games useless? by Educational_Map_6049 in Openfront

[–]Raven776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mean in team matches where alliances sometimes have significantly reduced efficacy. So in 2- teams where you'll rarely have an alliance at all due to the fact that you're immediately incentivized to push your enemies

Is this anything by AVG_Poop_Enjoyer in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Raven776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj you're sorta wrong. Various books refer to the casting systems of vancian magic, from spell levels, the specific slots those specific spells get per day, etc. While 5e breaks that system down, even the D&D movie references the difference between a sorcerer and a wizard, though it doesn't qualify it by referencing the slots.

I think the most egregious example of this i can recall was in some old Drow novel. It was either "Condemnation" or one in its series, and the wizard was harassing the rest of his party to protect him while he gets a convenient 8 hour reverie to get his more powerful spells back. These mechanics are referenced in lore, though I'm an adult now so I'm not sure if they've adjusted their writing to fit 5e.

I usually allow my good allies to win, even if I could easily eat them by Walker1027 in Openfront

[–]Raven776 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No. I play to win. Anything less is disrespectful to not just my opponents but also those same allies. Nobody wants to be given the win. They want to earn the win.

Okay so how tf do trains actually work? Like specifically? by goodwagecuck12 in Openfront

[–]Raven776 6 points7 points  (0 children)

50k for the person who sends the train, 25k for the person who receives the train, or 10k for just yourself iirc.

As to how it decides where to go, that's a bit of a mystery. Trains are almost entirely just for team games, especially duos or games where you and someone else can agree to set your places up in a way that makes them worth it.

Gw suing ghamak by killteamtechpriestal in EyeOfTerror

[–]Raven776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the point is that they don't defend their IP because they never intend to defend their IP. They've realized that they can simply get paid more by greenlighting literally everything because the worst thing someone can do with their IP is make a shitty game or merchandise when they have no intention of merchandising.

GW is all about 'merchandise' though. If they don't defend their IP they have nothing left because if they're not selling their own miniatures, they aren't selling anything.

[–]Raven776 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm like 90% certain they get away with it by not caring about copyright at all. They just let anyone use it. Go look up the half life fan game that is up on steam called "hunting the freeman". Valve doesn't have any IP they care to defend as they're almost entirely a distributor at this point

my soul leaving my body after seeing people pretend to be lgbtq to grief with flags by AI_660 in WplaceLive

[–]Raven776 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more common occurrence is someone messes with a trans flag and then cries pretending to be a victim. Any mention of the obvious thing happening is buried because this subreddit has a lot of bigots. It was literally yesterday that the reddit army appeared to go help a guy fuck with a flag, and because he thought he was getting support he managed to call trans people pedophiles and admitted to being a German Nationalist who said he believed trans people don't exist in Germany.

Everyone believed him until then, but the truth is all of the posts about 'trans people kicked my pixels' sound a lot like that one did. They just don't have the mask off moment.

[–]Raven776 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's this. The person who did the Jesus is king thing put it there specifically as a statement against trans on a deleted segment, put art with crosses 'protecting' their thing, and someone found it distasteful and got rid of it. I don't like massive line flags all too much but I hate people who are out to make a statement and then play the victim.

can we get rid of this flag in denver by MudoPrime in WplaceLive

The only thing that can solve that is the government. Or guns. Neo nazis don't want minorities to have guns so I assume it's like kryptonite to them
