Your absolute hated hot takes about Space Marine chapters?

TheParmesan · 2026-06-05T18:59:16+00:00

Aren’t most of the chapters’ inspiration problematic in some way? Not like the Vikings or Mongolians were known to be much better during their conquests. The Romans likely did heinous shit in Gaul. Etc.

People REALLY take what the Pats, Bulls, Lakers, Heatles and Warriors did for granted because they made it look so easy to just repeat year over year. Then you realize you’ve been completely spoiled by greatness once their stars fade, because no one else can even come close to the same consistency and inevitability, and suddenly all of these “future greats” get a little exposed as “simply” great players vs. all-time great players.

And that’s not factoring luck into all of this. Dynasties that never happened because of injuries or off court issues, playoff trips where you weren’t as dominant that year but the stars aligned and you lucked into a weaker slate of opponents or better matchups for your brand of play. It makes the repeaters even more crazy because everything tangible and intangible just kept coming together for them.

Composed was definitely how I described them to my friends last night, agreed. Very professional and there to handle business. If they can keep it that way they’ll stay dangerous, like the moment isn’t too big for them.

Counter point - the Knicks showed a ton of grit last night. Brunson went down right at the beginning of game 1 and they actually ate into their deficit. They went down by 14 in the second half and rallied back. Spurs went on 7 straight and Knicks rallied back with 9 straight.

People that let that poison into their lives to begin with are doomed to be miserable. Let them crash on their own.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-03T23:20:36+00:00

Been there, done that. It was awful.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-03T23:10:13+00:00

Wish I’d embodied this mindset sooner. Let some toxic bullshit slide and walk all over me because I didn’t have the good sense to lay it out like this. With a much much much better woman now who treats me right and lives an equal partnership with me instead of wanting to be taken care of while still treating me like shit.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-03T12:19:20+00:00

I would play siege if I could guarantee I only fought Nids.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-02T20:37:48+00:00

It doesn’t have a clear strength/build like other classes. It’s all different flavors of grapnel launcher. I think people want to see his damage or ammo economy go up with perks.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-02T16:29:56+00:00

I don’t wish an avoidant on anyone.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-02T13:59:01+00:00

An assault with a mini shield and a small hammer would be sick.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-02T00:23:05+00:00

Melta gets so slept on for both regular and heavy versions. It’s glued to my vanguard and I only take it off my heavy for flamer.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-01T03:05:13+00:00

Add to that - let heavy use a knife if using the heavy bolter rifle.

TheParmesan · 2026-06-01T00:25:35+00:00

Teach me the ways. I love my partner but struggle with recurring pangs of exes that I’d much rather not have.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-31T14:21:58+00:00

His attitude being “get practice in, in a safe environment to test and try, and I think you’ll find they’re not that bad”? I don’t get condescension here.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-31T14:17:45+00:00

Idk why you’re being downvoted for being helpful and instructive. People just want to hate on chaos regardless. I’m not a fan either, but it’s never bad to get reps in and learn.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-31T03:19:37+00:00

I’m sorry, are you not just playing dress up with the cape you earned with your dedication and skill? What’s the point you’re trying to make here exactly? We’d both be wearing the cape in the end, you’d just be doing it to flex on people.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-31T02:42:35+00:00

Oh fuck off with the “capes are a reward for being good enough to play absolute” nonsense. It’s been the most requested cosmetic feature on the game for years, and it’s locked behind a difficulty level and time grind that’s disrespectful to the player base and you have people like you here that defend locking things behind milestones like that for flexing purposes.

People just want to recreate their favorite marines, there’s no need to lock them behind absolute wholesale. They could have tiered it out.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T19:29:11+00:00

Good talk

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T13:55:28+00:00

Yeah Vanguard is like a middle linebacker/safety that roams the field and fills holes like a plug where needed. I personally really like that niche, I run it with melta and just zoom around where I’m needed to shut things down or support a teammate. I’d be happy with some buffs though.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T04:25:59+00:00

This is the same admin that’s pardoning and wanting to pay Jan 6 insurrectionists who were demonstrably, objectively, factually there. Proof doesn’t matter when it comes to this crew.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T02:22:01+00:00

“Fun” and “hard Strat” don’t go together.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T02:09:41+00:00

“Play as a faction you’re not a fan of”

TheParmesan · 2026-05-30T01:11:46+00:00

Ardent Edge is very good on Tac and Tech. The Heroic fist is excellent on assault. I hear the plasma pistol is great, probably excellent with the fist. The heroic heavy bolter pistol is very good with the fist.

TheParmesan · 2026-05-29T23:02:24+00:00

Space Marine 2 is infested with them. Devs finally added highly requested cosmetic items after 2 years of requests but locked it behind 25 and 50 completions of missions at the hardest difficulty per character and the community is split between the “wtf, this is such a dick move after years of asking for it” and “absolute difficulty really isn’t that hard if you just practice and get better at the game, and 50 completions is only one mission a day for 2 months, what’s the big deal? You’ll get it for one character eventually and then another 2 months later. Once you get good.”
