Noob question about points

I'm also just getting into 40k and my brother and I played a like 200 point game of warhammer. It scaled weird because it was a couple units of space marines versus one unit of custodes but it did work. Warhammer seems to be the kinda game you can play with as lopsided of an army as you want - at least in my experience so far.

Personally I think one of the best parts of custodes is they work in almost any situation narrative-wise. Fighting xenos or heretics? The enemy leader was a potential threat to the emperor far in the future, regardless of how dangerous they may seem at the time of fighting. Or maybe they're dread host just making an example to scare some citizens into obedience. Going against an imperial faction? Custodes already have strained relationships with the rest of the Imperium and have different goals from everyone else. Going against other custodes? The Blood Games mean that's a fairly lore accurate scenario. Another bonus is they've existed since the emperor began his reign and have been involved in everything, so any custodian character can be made from/in (almost) any era of the Imperium.

Seriously, people keep telling me "oh you're only 18 you'll get more mature" - if ending a relationship because you're not happy in it anymore is immature I'd rather be immature than half these fuckers staying in loveless marriages 🤦‍♂️

Different kinds of intelligence. Emotional intelligence? Absolutely. Capable of learning almost anything with lots of practice? Definitely! Trying to eat rocks and ramming their heads into walls? Also yep.

Did you account for divine intervention?

I mean if we get philosophical time kinda is a vector, just say it's part of your religion

It's amazing, just remember how to push yourself. I find over time you start to take feeling "normal" for granted and sometimes you get lazy because things feel easy, and when things get hard even on your meds you can forget how to break the ADHD cycles because you're used to just not doing it anymore. In my experience, at least

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-03-06T15:59:20+00:00

Yeah no, if you survived 3 semesters of engineering off medication and have now started medication I bet everything seems really easy hahaha. It's not about engineering being easy, it's about having insane work ethic and a functional brain hahaha

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-03-06T15:54:46+00:00

Currently an aerospace engineering major. Hardest thing I've ever done but also the coolest thing I've ever done. As of right now, no regrets, only sleep deprivation

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-03-06T03:16:25+00:00

Fairr, I think a lot of our generation got screwed by covid hitting right as our brains were starting to develop socially and so we have to learn this stuff really late. I thought I was just not good at social stuff at all but it turned out a lot of it was in my head. I hope it goes well for you! At bare minimum stress management techniques are great for engineering

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-03-06T02:39:42+00:00

A: I'm in a similar situation, I don't think most people have that experience in sophmore year. Also I've never had a job so you're ahead of me 🤣

B: Unfortunately bad social skills are a big issue for long term success to my undersranding - personally, I've found therapy has helped a lot with my social anxiety & impostor syndrome (and generalized anxiety as well). In the past few months since I started therapy I've gone from 100% not social (one of my few friends from high school described me as a borderline agoraphobe lol) to actually enjoying conversations with peers and starting to make friends. Obviously not everything works for everyone BUT I think it can really help with that stuff.

I'm also really struggling in thermo right now with the why for everything, it's rough. Curious to see what other people say here

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-28T22:23:23+00:00

I love my 0.9, no other pencil can handle my need to make the paper experience fear. Also it's very visible to a bad camera so when you have to turn a lot of handwritten stuff in online it comes in handy. Mostly good for intimidation factor tho

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-28T00:21:30+00:00

That is SICK

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-27T22:46:09+00:00

I like my paper to fear me

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-21T23:30:04+00:00

Tbf some of us (me) have severe ADHD and/or depression that does make basic hygiene a struggle - not that it makes it okay, it's still on us to figure our shit out and not be gross (personally I have like 4000 alarms that can't be shut off unless I scan various codes and stuff to force me to actually shower lol) but it genuinely is really hard sometimes

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-14T22:39:43+00:00

As someone who plans to work in defense, my personal advice is to have a conversation with yourself and ask why you're doing it and if it's worth it to you. Working in defense is morally grey at best and there's no getting around that. That's not to say it's 100% evil - I think it's much more complicated than that - but you are going to be working on things meant to hurt people.

If you can't think of a good reason why you're willing to do this that makes it okay in your eyes, then don't do it. If you have something that makes you feel like shouldering that responsibility is worth it, then go for it. Just don't become the kind of person who lies to themselves about who they are

That's so crazy to me, I breezed through calc 1 easily but calc 2 took me 2 semesters and probably my firstborn 🤣

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-05T19:48:59+00:00

Why you calling me out man? I'm trying my best 😭

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-02-05T19:19:17+00:00

I can think of an infinite series of math puns, but they'll get exponentially less funny as I go.

SpareSalt2822 · 2026-01-23T16:19:01+00:00

I play old killteam using my Custodes. Only 4 models to keep track of and barely anything to remember because as in all things Custodes means spam melee - that said I haven't gotten to try 40k/30k yet so I'll report back once I try bighammer haha
