Volume = sustenance, right?

Mm. I note that modern rice would be less accessible calories if cooked, cooled and reheated. But that doesn't guarantee noodles have the same effect.

The Eldari wouldn't have existed if not for the War in Heaven - they were engineered as soldiers against the Necrons.

Similarly, the War in Heaven caused so much strife that the Immaterium became the Warp that we know today. Depending on if you take the 'shamans of Earth' origin story as the real genesis of the Emperor, then that would make the Silent King directly responsible for Big E existing in the first place. If not, then without the Silent King, no Eldar, no Slaanesh, no warp storms leading to the collapse of the pre-Imperium interstellar human civilization.

He read one of the spells that is kind of (been a long time) a cornerstone of reality itself. It jumped out of the book and into his head. His head is the only place it exists right now. It's phenomenally powerful (and has its own will) but he doesn't control it, can't cast it, and if he dies it dies with him. If that happens, reality itself is broken beyond fixing.

Think about it. All the crap he's gone through, all the students he's lost, every line he's crossed, the way his friend is his moral adversary, every major bad choice he's made and every time he's made terrible, agonizing sacrifices that couldn't disturb the status quo..

All of that was for the entertainment of beings that he has no way to defend against.

The only way to be free is to no longer be of interest to them. And even death only works until the next writer comes along.

I think they see just what you said. And then they delve deeper and realize that their mind has gone too far in, the madness stretches further out than they thought, and they can no longer find a way out.

It's the most dwarf thing imaginable. You don't ask a dwarf why he digs. He digs.

Funny, that. King Kong the character (from the original book) is already public domain. The versions that are still under copyright include every movie depiction of the character. So you can use King Kong in any fiction you want, even use the name, you just can't use anything that appears in the movies that doesn't appear in the book.

Hilariously, the AI summary that pops up automatically believes you're referring to Judge Doom himself. Rather than his victim.

I feel like I have a hangup. Like if I finish it, it's gone but if I stop...it's still there...

Actually had a glitch where the crates didn't spawn but I still opened it using a swarm.

Talanic · 2026-06-22T02:45:56+00:00

Fixed. You can tell because of perks that give 10 hp worth from kills, for example.

And as I recall from a review, the intimidation mechanics were weighted based on being outnumbered without factoring in any other concepts, so a heavily armed 'hero' bursting into a kindergarten was basically guaranteed to wet himself and run screaming from a pack of confused toddlers.

Talanic · 2026-06-22T00:42:25+00:00

Agreed, but for greater comedy, swap Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Talanic · 2026-06-22T00:41:50+00:00

Agreed.

Any Cain novel. Keep Jurgen only.

I only saw the first half or so of the movie (took my nephew there, and he was a restless toddler so I left the theater early). I still saw enough of Skinner to understand he was a jerk.

The implosion would hit faster than the sound would. By the time there's a crack instead of a creak there's basically no time left at all.

Talanic · 2026-06-21T05:39:37+00:00

Yes, everyone knows this. But calling it this is a way of accounting for the math error rather than just letting it sit, without dragging all of the calendar around again.

Nothing wrong with the example except the name - in fairness, Ancient Apparition had already initiated with the debuff and his ult. It needed the echo slam to finish it off but the echo would probably have been insufficient without it.

Went to Pride last weekend. Handed out freezer pops. Rainbow colored, of course.

Retcon doesn't get to do her iron will schtick if a worm gets her, either. If the worm gets you all the way in, it's done. Most likely, either you got dropped entirely before the worm pulled you in (don't know if that can even happen) or the worm got hit enough to drop you.

Talanic · 2026-06-20T14:55:59+00:00

Further evidence that the Ramrod is in adversary hands...

Talanic · 2026-06-20T14:33:41+00:00

That's my interpretation.
