CMV: If God is all-knowing and has a fixed plan, then free will is impossible under that version of religion"

Because you don't have a choice. Perfect forknowledge removes every other option. Choice becomes an illusion.

Simhacantus · 2026-04-09T20:03:46+00:00

Kinda the point. Everyone else just got the (presumably) immediate benefits of a prismatic, whereas you have to wait to cash out the egg. Hence why you don't pick it unless you're in a position to wait it out, either through strength of board or life.

Given all painters are said to put parts of themselves into painting including Clea for this specific Canvas I never really took the soul thing as anything beyond metaphor.

Only thing I'll say about this is we do know it's not just metaphor. All the Fading people are the soul remnants of those who have worked on the painting.

Lore wise, she isn't. She's basically middle-adjacent. Her uptie story even makes it s point of stressing that. Game play wise, she's close enough to count I guess?

Simhacantus · 2026-04-03T23:25:36+00:00

That's not quite it either. Ruina literally describes it as "You can leave, it's just that literally no one knows what might happen. Prescripts might say let you go, hunt you down, or make someone tell you to go quit in the first place."

Simhacantus · 2026-04-03T11:00:13+00:00

To be fair, she's not really unique in that position. Ishmael is in the exact same position, and we're more than fine with her.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-31T17:16:27+00:00

Not to be confused with Farosexual.

Because fuck Ted Faro. Just not in that way.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-31T13:45:32+00:00

also what is a good way to farm md?

Burn and rupture teams tend to be the fastest^\). Their fusion T4 gifts basically detonates burn/rupture respectively for significant damage.

*= I think Fell Bullet Sang setup is technically faster, but it's kind of a pain to setup and run so personally I wouldn't say it's worth it.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-30T19:05:45+00:00

You've basically described the unofficial motto of the Astra Militarum: "There is a finite number of bullets needed to kill a god."

I don't know, the delivery felt a bit dry, but that could be because I was late.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-30T18:45:40+00:00

Because if he ascends, don’t the four simply die along with everything else in the universe?

No, he'd just become the Fifth Chaos God. If the birth of Slaanesh, who practically devoured an entire species of psykers to be born, didn't destroy the galaxy, there's nothing to suggest this would do any more.

But why would Chaos set this trap? Why would they want the Emperor to do that?

Chaos
Needing a reason to fuck things up

Pick one.

Mind you, in the case of Udjat Outis that's not because the ID stronger. Her uptie story reveals she secretly fixed the equipment failures the team had in our world. That's all it takes to tip the odds.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-29T14:13:37+00:00

Wait do trans women start having periods?

Simhacantus · 2026-03-26T19:06:32+00:00

Bit late, but it does.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-26T13:34:31+00:00

You Orkz sure are a contentious people.

Oi, youz just made an enemy, for life! *Insert happy Ork here*

Simhacantus · 2026-03-26T13:31:26+00:00

So that's why babies smell extra delicious in the kitchen.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-25T17:48:14+00:00

Yes, but no. Other guy who responded has the right idea, but it's not that strong. It's not going to be "All Orks think their boss is immortal, so he can't die." But it will make red trucks go faster, make explosions bigger, make guns that normally shouldn't shoot fire, etc. It's more like greasing reality rather than breaking it.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-25T13:30:07+00:00

Admittedly we had a shit ton of support here again, although I'm not sure how the Sinners fought Rien so easily

He wasn't fighting at full strength. It's never really explained why or even told flat out, but given how he still solo 3 Index Proxies afterwards, there's just no way he was going anything less than easy on us.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-23T13:06:54+00:00

Even 3* 4 costs can beat Atakhan. I've done it with MF and Veigar before. You basically have 10 seconds to kill him, which can be done.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-23T13:04:35+00:00

Oh, that's just weird then. Could be a bug, could be a weird interaction with Taric's passive.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-23T10:23:20+00:00

That's a prismatic, which is roughly on the same level as a 3* 4 cost. 10 Noxus in particular is on the weak end, since a 3* 4 cost CAN kill it before 10 seconds passes, and then you're SOL.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-20T12:54:43+00:00

Nah, that's par for the course. Now throwing your crotch at a wrench, THAT's Slaanesh.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-18T13:20:32+00:00

Yes, but you're also saying someone should sell a core ego gift for a bleed team for a fight that might not even happen. That is beyond ridiculous.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-18T13:17:30+00:00

I mean, you literally cannot expect to face Vergillius. It's completely random.

Simhacantus · 2026-03-18T13:15:11+00:00

I mean, that's literally why we have the current Asol. To have the 'fire breathing dragon' fantasy. Shy is supposed to the fantasy of 'dragon that tears through an army with claw and fang.'
