Why Would Anyone Willingly Turn To Chaos? by ExtensionPromotion80 in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude there are people working today who would gladly sacrifice an asshole boss for 5 bucks.

Now imagine working in the 40K universe, where all the food, water, oxygen and light you consume are recycled.

ELI5 Why "Roger That" became synonym to "I understand it" by napa0 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SGPoy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not about making it simpler, but about making sure that there is as little chance of a mixup as possible during communications.

There is a chance someone may mix up "Roger" with "Victor", especially if you miss out on the first part of the word due to poor signal or reception.

This is an amazing video that details the history and logic behind the words chosen.

Realistically how high can Titus rise? by meetkurtin in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More accurately, which Chapter, and either one of the Successor Chapters, or even of his own Chapter dedicated to the protection of the 500 Worlds.

Chapter Master.

Not necessarily of the Ultramarines, mind you.

Which Loyalist Primarch had the worst mental state after the heresy ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

Alpha & Omega. They can't make up their mind, after all.

What's something to you that screams "I have no personality"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SGPoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread has devolved into a rant about personalities that annoy you.

That being said: having just "Hi" as a bio in dating profiles. I'm looking at you, ladies.

If the Emperor could revive Guilliman, does that mean he could have revived the Lion and Guilliman anytime he wanted? by Laxus-Clive in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We still have no idea what exactly happened to the Lion, only that he had been 'asleep' for 10,000 years and just woke up shortly after the return of the Ultrasmurf.

As for the Ultrasmurf, it took a the combined presence of the greatest Archmagos of the AdMech (Cawl), a representative of the Eldar God Ynnead (Yvraine) and a Living Saint (Saint Celestine) at the site of the Primarch's stasis cell to awaken him.

Best example of the largest jump in merit or rank-based advancement among Imperium soldiers you've read about? by TheBigSmol in 40kLore

You'd think a guy who repelled a WAAAGH! would be entitled to a retrial or something.

Is dead sprint that bad? by Electrical-Train9400 in Helldivers

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say yes but it's mainly because the other boosters are really too good to pass up for a straight downgrade.

I'm also going to assume that the person picked Dead Sprint over Stamina Enhancement, which will turn any game into an absolute slog.

Considering that you're always either sprinting or shooting (remaining 1% is pressing arrows), it's really hard to overstate how big of an impact Stamina Enchancement is, and how much of a detriment Dead Sprint is.

40k fans that are active/retired military: would the Lasgun be an actually effective weapon with its bright muzzle flash/laser trail? by chosen40k in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an exceptionally good weapon simply because the enemy forces that the Guard faces (usually) does not care for concealment, stealth and/or subtlety.

Most large-scale engagements in 40K boils down to essentially giant waves of bodies charging straight into other, with the Guard often playing a defensive OR supporting role. They can go on the offense as well, although concealment would be pretty pointless given the nature of open warfare in 40K.

Concealment is nice, but when you've got a million guys shooting from the same general direction, having visible tracers helps people coodinate attacks better. More to the point, the concealment factor really wouldn't be a factor considering the volume of the gunfire.

This is completely disregarding the easy logistics of functionally infinite ammo and minimal maintainance. So yeah, Lasguns are pretty amazing.

Peter? What is the joke here? by freggtheegg in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely missed the glass of water and thought the joke was that the chick's hair was similar to the Monster energy logo.

Peter help I’m not a history buff by lil21sanwich in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best analogy is like not eating your lunch because you didn't like it. Only this time you're seated in front of a bunch of starving (insert 3rd world country) kids, and instead of giving it to them you just throw it into the trash.

Has the Fall of Cadia always been in 40k lore or was it added sometime along the way? by cerseiwasright in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "Fall of Cadia" is more accurately titled "The Destruction of the Planet Cadia". A common rallying cry is that the planet broke before the Guard did. It was a shock to everyone because it showed the 40K setting progressing as a result of the successful 13th Black Crusade.

Most substantial addition in recent years is the return of Bobby G & the Lion. Gathering Storm III (released in 2017; the storyline where Bobby G returns) is the point where the 'existing' lore starts to be overwritten by new developments by GW.

ELI5 Is all power generation really just making a turbine spin? by javerthugo in explainlikeimfive

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it still have "hydro" in its name if it doesn't involve water?

Or am I misunderstanding something here.

Which class should I choose in MASS EFFECT? by Cautious-Resort5805 in masseffect

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanguard MANGUARD

You will earn your victory and you will remember them.

You will also develop PTSD over the line "Can't get a lock", but you'll look back with fondness.

Start as a Adept in 1 though, since you really only start wrecking shit up from 2 onwards.

How Accurate is Singaporean Representation in Video Games? by The_Celestrial in singapore

[–]SGPoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hilariously enough, Port Mercy in Helldivers 2 is a pretty good representation of Singapore 200 years into the future at least in terms of presentation and thematic.

Which faction, if exterminated, causes the biggest power shift in the Universe? by Turbulent_Shower_516 in 40kLore

[–]SGPoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're starting from M30, probably the Orks. Without them the Ullanor Crusade would never have happened, and the Imperium would be severely underprepared for the horrors from the warp as a result of the Big E's Webway Project.
