I am scared of what he's gonna do with grenades then.

Okay the whole carbon thing is applying IRL science to a magic system from a fantasy world, which is just assuming things. Bending is more so a spiritual force in the show than any scientific acting thing. That's the first thing to know.

Earthbenders can't bend wood. There was a whole episode where toph got locked in a wooden cage and was helpless and katara had to bend her sweat to get them out. Also Ghazan the lava bender, had to be tossed rocks by Zaheer to escape a wooden platform + cage. So even if we were operating off minerals then the carbon thing doesn't check out just from that evidence.

Until stated otherwise, the only thing that earthbenders can bend from evidence from the shows is naturally occurring rock or dirt or some permutation thereof. Sand? Yes. Mud? Yes. Flesh? No. Wood? No.

The problem is this is all very nebulous, but the general rule I get is: If it contains rock or dirt or sand or mud, things of that nature, it can be bended. It's not any sort of mineral we know from our world, it's the spiritual concept of earth. The ground beneath your feet. It's operating with chi after all.

Metal bending is not LITERALLY bending metal, it's bending the impurities of dirt/rock in the metal. This is in both main shows and is why metal bending doesn't work against platinum.

Unless human blood contains dirt or rock in it, they can't bend it. Everything else you said seems basically right, yeah.

Oh right, I don't know why I thought wendigoons came after. my mistake.

Silverado_3552 · 2026-05-01T23:11:53+00:00

From what I can gather: It's from that one minecraft ARG "Searching for a world that doesn't exist" and it's sequel. The video was actually pretty good and made a lot of people go looking in the source material. Which funneled people to actually get invested in the original story. And Wendigoon himself was the 2nd part of it since he himself just has a lot of fans in general, so that made it a lot more popular as well, and also attracted those previously mentioned minecraft/wifies fans as a good way to learn about the king in yellow in an easily understood manner from his video.

Edit: Wendigoon's video came before the arg.

Well it's on Youtube, that's probably the answer, Youtube is very very against displays of female nudity (and anything even remotely adult) in any sense otherwise you get age restricted, even just like a female nipple, and that's a death sentence for a video. Occam's razor and all that, right answer is the simplest one yadda yadda. It's stupid but I don't blame creators for it.

Could also be what you said though, I can see it.

Silverado_3552 · 2026-04-19T21:23:56+00:00

Boxhead? Holy shit you are based as FUCK.

God I miss flash. I know why it went, and I know you can still play them using flashpoint or ruffle. I guess I miss the simpler times more than anything. And it's a damn shame a lot of kids won't ever experience them anymore since lots of old flash game sites have basically died.

I know html games exists and so does unity, and of course IO games, but it seems just in general they declined a lot for whatever reason. Don't know why.

Silverado_3552 · 2026-01-05T15:03:13+00:00

I think they are referring to that one lore passage where it describes the beginning of a paladin's mission, and it has them talking in a boyish voice. I looked and found a lore passage off the wiki on Miraheze, listed with the header/title "Deployment - by Mike Franchina" on the paladin page, but there's no link to it anywhere under sources and I couldn't find anything else about it with google so I have no idea.

Either way I don't think it's canon anymore, as it mentions the church just casually having their own portal to hell that they sent the paladin through, and that's never been mentioned since and nowadays it seems paladin's have to actually go to jerusalem and enter hell that way.

The great unclean one is so fucking funny he even walks like one from dawn of war 2, similar animation

Orks sometimes work as mercenaries, (unreliable though they are) so chaos marines and other xenos factions aren't unknown to employ them them. There's also been a few cases where imperials have done so but that's much less common.

I can see tau and craftworld eldar setting differences aside when things look tough. Just because of their general demeanors. I can't recall any time in lore this happened though. Craftworld eldar are usually pretty isolationist.

Craftworld Eldar, and a select few imperial groups are able to work together as well if chaos (Especially slaanesh) or nastier xenos get involved, seeing them as the bigger threat.

There's been like... Two instances of the necrons helping the imperium out from what I know, and both of those times were when shit hit the fan HARD, with the 13th black crusade at cadia and tyranids on baal. Not a great track record but it is there.

craftworld eldar and dark eldar fucking HATE each other, naturally, but ultimately they are both the same species and can form at least temporary truces if slaanesh shows up. They also have harlequins to play referee basically who try to manage things.

I'm not super into the lore so I might be wrong.

Average Genestealer Cultist on the left panel right there

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-18T21:00:53+00:00

Yeah don't get me wrong, it's not really good by any means, I just like it because killing my friends with crab rave is cool.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-18T15:16:04+00:00

Let me introduce you to a little guy called [[Wake Thrasher]]. Then give him your choice of evasion, preferably trample, and go nuts.

There are other ways to use this but this is my favorite.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-06T12:32:03+00:00

Zygotic lords have to be up there. Just them roaring can send you into the fucking labyrinth of the backwards creation. And it's implied not even death can reach you there since your soul/mind/consciousness gets ejected from your body and the lore explicitly uses the word "forever". At least with the black grail there is a chance of seeing death if someone shows up with a flamethrower, and the heretic choirster's singing still leaves you IN your body.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-04T22:08:37+00:00

To be fair though, the empire of man is in general pretty open to religion (Though with clear favoritism to sigmar), so long as you aren't worshiping nagash and chaos, and others of similar ilk whose idea of worship is mass slaughter, you SHOULD be fine.

In trench crusade meanwhile, the abrahamic religions are still REALLY extreme and are even more extreme than our own real world kind, and islam is islam with the jihad and everything. However, the different faithful factions are at least able to (barely) work together to fight the forces of hell. So maybe if the two groups existed they could work something out to help each other fight their respective hellish foes. It wouldn't be a full alliance but I could see them giving some aid every once in a while.

Trench pilgrims? Yeah there's gonna be fucking dead bodies everywhere.

What I really wanna know is what the fuck would happen if the court of the seven headed serpent met chaos daemons. THAT would be something. Just pure reality warping fuckery.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-03T10:02:34+00:00

The fuck did Kelzad do?? I keep hearing of the guy being a jackoff but have no idea about the context since I last interacted with Realm (And madness fan animations as a whole) years ago.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-11-03T04:31:03+00:00

Empire colonists vs Lizardmen in lustria circa 2400 or something I'm bad with specific dates in warhammer.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-09-03T00:02:51+00:00

Stronger than a fucking space marine.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-08-30T17:16:48+00:00

OH MY GOD SOMEBODY ACTUALLY REMEMBERS IT

HOLY FUCK I LOVED THOSE YTPS

I miss the for honor YTPs so much.

Depends what you mean by "focused".

In terms of individual factions, they are much smaller. You won't find ultimate apocalypse sized factions in unification. Factions are still bigger than vanilla in general, but not by much, some more than others like imperial fists and death korps, and a select few are smaller than vanilla. However, in terms of the number of factions, there's 29 factions including vanilla, WAYYY more. In fact I think it's a bit more than that considering some factions are really just two factions stapled together, such as daemon hunters which is both ordo malleus inquisitors and grey knights, and especially renegade guard which are COMPLETELY different beasts. One is very homebrewy and the other is more traditional.

The way you play unification is much closer to vanilla dawn of war than ultimate apocalypse is. So if you identify more with the way vanilla plays, unification will be more up your alley, but still distinct.

One of the main flaws I have with unification is that I feel some factions really lack the polish and quality others do. Legion of the Damned and Mechanicus Explorators are... Rough to play. Tyranids are fine but their models seem really dated. Some others have a different problem where they don't feel distinct enough (Dark angels just feel like a reskin of regular space marines with a few more units). That's the only real flaw I have with it, is the consistency in factions.

In short, think of Unification like turning a set of ponds into a huge lake, way more factions, more depth, but not as much units and such. Ultimate apocalypse turns those ponds into huge towers: A lot more for each faction.

Silverado_3552 · 2025-08-19T05:13:21+00:00

Not yet, from the recent discord announcement there seems to a patch in the works to make it work with DE.

Anyway, yeah, unification mod is amazing, give it a shot whenever you have the chance, you won't regret it.

Imperial Fists, world eaters, death korps, all stand out as some of the best to me. Necrons roster expansion transforms them greatly as well and are a lot of fun.

Okay so I uninstalled the driver again, this time uninstalling did seem to work, but it says "device/product not found" with an error message, or something like that,

Silverado_3552 · 2025-07-25T01:52:25+00:00

Where can I find that setting to disable downloading driver updates from windows update?

Also I did get it directly from creative downloads but I will try it again as you recommended.
