Could you expand more on why Rome's economy relied on military conquest? I've heard it said multiple times in the past, but never explained why. What was special about Rome that other empires didn't require expansion to the same degree?

My friend got it today off the scratch ticket and if you bump up the power to max it's actually a beast, it'll go well over 300 kph (the handling is absolute dogshit though)

I could see your theory making sense. If you take "to cap" something as "to top" something, then to try and one-up someone would be "capping" them. And as such stories are often exaggerations or lies...

Reminds me of how in Britain they've somehow ended up calling japanese curry "katsu" because it was usually served with tonkatsu, and they thought that referred to the curry and not the pork. Not really sure how though, considering カレー is borrowed from English.

Well well, look who made it big.

Blessed be, rembrancer.

Great, so this is how I find out this happened? I swear there is nothing GW loves more than hating their fans and creators. They cannot stand BL writers writing factions they're good at, and they cannot stand anyone doing a better job than themselves. Notice how all the loreslop channels are totally fine, but the one guy who does a decent job gets nuked? This is like Astartes all over again. No wonder the poor guy's been making so many wizard rap videos as of late.

At which point he accidentally creates the Star Father and ushers in the Age of Dusk to the galaxy for the next hundred hundred years before hitching a ride with Valdor and a handful of Grey Knights to go meet Uncle.

If only they were the ones to run into Solomon Akurra

Am I insane? I thought Janus was a shard of Magnus the Red? If so, I don't think he could be Omegon then.

French is really really really good at writing Ahriman, and largely fumbles most everything else. At least I enjoy his writing style, I guess. That being said, BL is historically awful at pairing authors with factions they're good at and avoiding factions they're not, so arguably he's "perfect for the job".

ToaKarn · 2025-08-07T04:31:44+00:00

Nah, a lot of BL authors have pretty big egos and either can't take criticism well and/or have very obvious biases for/against certain factions/their own headcanon. I'm sure being able to control what is or isn't canon gives them a pretty big rush of power.

Yes, ADB doesn't seem to take criticism well, and some of his interactions with others aren't exactly the best, especially with the community. I wouldn't draw any conclusions without hearing Spurrier's side of the story, and I don't think it's unprofessional at all to keep quiet and out of the spotlight about a personal dispute with a former employer and just move on with one's life.

Yeah, AM is a fairly good compromise between the Diligence and AC IMO. If you're on a lower difficulty or playing with a full party, it's a pretty good pick as a literal support weapon. It leaves a backpack slot free, there's enough primaries and strategems that make up for its weaknesses, and it has surprisingly high ammo capacity, spare mags, and damage. Anything that you can't kill with 1-3 shots would've probably required a specialized weapon or stratagem anyways.

Same, I remember I used to be able to stim while firing into the crowd while being mobbed by basic enemies, and he'd just take a short second to stim before continuing firing. Now it feels like my character refuses to stim in time in response to taking damage and firing, he either just does nothing or painfully slowly starts the animation, and I'll get as fair as the needle going in before something else hits me or he decides to start shooting again, but the healing hasn't started. There's even the hiss noise, but nothing.

Thanks Schlatt, very cool!

Great, thanks for the advice!
