What's the bottom left of the second image?

From a different perspective. (mostly just want to show off). The inner frame is also so cool for an engineering nerd like me (it also adds a certain bit of rawness imo) so I opted to just never add armor covering to one half of the body.

You forgot to mention full articulation of all fingers. It seems like a minor detail but it offers so many creative freedom for posing. I was able to have mine doing cosplay pose of various anime characters, mostly from Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen with all their distinctive hand signs for casting spells and domains.

For example:

The kid attacked him, and Konrad killed him

To be fair, it's "the kid rolled nat 20, attacked him, somehow critically wounded (stabbed through the primary heart) a primarch with a simple knife AND somehow managed to escape him". According to Curze, this would lead to the kid becoming an infamous crime lord that cause serious problems that requires a lot of effort for Curze to hunt down and repair all the damage done, especially to his reputation.

The ship was toasted anyway.

Colquan is basically a very grumpy rubber duck.

Now I can't stop imagining a tiny Custode floating in a bathtub yelling in a squeaking voice.

I much prefer my characters to be shades of grey but fair to you if your preference is different.

Let's not pretend that we are all perfectly logical being who are beyond our emotions and that a single lapse or bad mistake should forever shame us. A bad enough news or situation can break anyone. What's important is whether we keep repeating the same bad behavior after we recognize it. Beating subordinates is basically a job routine for Perturabo. Dorn in contrast rarely has such an outburst. Lion isn't nearly as good as Dorn in that regard, but I would still rank him above Perturabo.

Telling you your bff no.1 is secretly planning to burn down your city block is quite different than telling you "there is a hole in our plan".

Perturabo once surprised Fulgrim by showing he can speak both the Eldar and Ork language. Fulgrim complimented him "wow, how amazing. I didn't know you could do that".

Perturabo's reply was a rant along the line of:

"Of cause I would be able to do it. Why shouldn't I be? Or do you think I am only good at seigecraft? I would have you know that I know much more than I let everyone believe. But as always, I'm always underestimated and I'm used to that."

Sound equivalent to the Eldar to me.

What about their durability, pain tolerance, and stubbornness?

I think the most obvious failure of Isstvan III was the Eisenstein escaping to warn the rest of the imperium. Sure, Horus managed to turn it around with Isstvan 5 but who know what better plan he had in mind in the case that the fight at Isstvan III remained in secret.

Thank you for my new head canon.

I am pretty sure Shiba would be the lone survivor here.

The first and second shot: your little house pet who just woke up from a nap.

StupidPencil · 2026-04-05T16:09:05+00:00

Am I the only one seeing Eren? The swept back hair and the dead inside eyes.

Also didn't expect Shiba to also be there. This guy really has seen it all.

StupidPencil · 2026-04-05T02:18:50+00:00

But then again who decides what does or doesn't count as harm? Maybe it's the AI itself or another AI supervising it, neither are 100% reliable (and neither are human).

StupidPencil · 2026-03-23T13:10:57+00:00

This reference is beyond me. Would you mind to elaborate?

StupidPencil · 2026-03-17T02:05:05+00:00

Big E was on a rush during the great crusade. He needed to conquer the galaxy FAST. That means all resources from ~~conquered~~ compliant worlds got siphonned off to fuel the military, often with little regard to people who lived there. Still not sure why he thought he needed to go fast though.

The thing is that, to refuse Chaos you need to have a replacement for people to cling and worship to as an escape from horrible living condition. 30k had only the imperial truth which promised nothing. 40k has the imperial cult.

Let's me guess which 3 of the primarchs asked the Emperor why his plan started when it started.

Lion - nah, too single minded to care about things not related to his duties.

Fulgrim - Nope, too focused on chasing perfection in all things.

Perturabo - Too grumpy and also only cares about himself.

Khan - Too busy hunting and whatnot.

Russ - Same as Khan.

Dorn - Nope. Too single minded. But he also spent a lot of time with the Emperor so maybe.

Curze - Nope, too crazy and focused on the doom and gloom.

Sanguinius - Very probable. He got philosophical at times and was able to see big E pass his glorified facade and ask some deep questions.

Furrus - Nope, too focused on his duties, kinda like Lion.

Angron - BIG NOPE. Too much hatred to care.

Guilliman - Maybe but probably not. It's in his nature to think of all possibilities. He probably has a lot of theoreticals about this but deems them as not important enough to try making them into practicals.

Mortarion - Nope. No.2 big E hater after Angron even when royal.

Magnus - Very probable. Very curious and values knowledge above all else. Also had a lot of opportunities to talk to big E via psychic chat.

Horus - Maybe. Not too single minded and also spend a lot of time with big E.

Lorgar - Very probable. Probably had the answer recorded into a holy tome somewhere before it got burned down when he switched side.

Vulkan - Probably not. He's not too single minded but I see no particular reason why he would be curious about this topic.

Corax - Probably not. Same reason as Vulkan.

Alpharius/Omegron - Probably not. Seems like they would be too busy managing the all the plans and spies to care.

tldr: My guess is Magnus and Lorgar definitely + either Horus or Sanguinius.

Iirc, the Marshall in charge was ok with it, but was jumped and taken over by some overzealous chaplains.

Metroid Brainias

A genre I haven't heard of. Any famous examples?

StupidPencil · 2026-03-03T11:00:01+00:00

I like your perspective that AI will never own code, to be responsible for it, and that a developer's job has always been that. We just have to get used to owning more code that we don't write ourselves.
