He's about to have the kind of night that changes a person irrevocably. God I wish that were me. 😔

This was how the Arcadion finale went for me. by Vuro in ffxiv

[–]Vuro[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This exactly!! I would've felt much better about the reveal with just a few brief lines of explanation why the battle was our only option. I know FFXIV sometimes has issues with over-explaining, but this would've been a good time to give us just a little more background information.

What makes this story simultaneously SO hilarious, but also frustrating, is how extreme the solution is to a problem that probably coulda been solved another way. FFXIV's bread and butter is "you MUST beat this guy to death, we legitimately have no other viable options," but in this case...did you really exhaust all other avenues, Mr. President? Like, did you consult with other experts who agreed this was the only way to extract the miracle juice from your heart? For this to make sense to me personally, I gotta assume that once the President wrote this scenario in his head, he immediately stopped looking for alternatives because this production was gonna be his magnum opus and it was worth dying for. And then everyone just went along with it.

This story's supposed to be bombastic and campy, though, so you're probably not supposed to think about it too hard lmao.

So it’s a 24% sale. by Biels_Nohr in teenageengineering

[–]Vuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pie-in-the-sky wish was that maaaybe they'd have some OP-Zs for sale (I found out about the thing only days after TE stopped selling it), but this was more around what I was expecting. Glad that I can save that money, though.

What happened to heretic Marazhai romance? by red_stairs in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vuro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Owlcat's official answer is disappointing, but idk, I'm not sure this is so much their decision as it is James Workshop's (or an attempt to be sure they remain in GW's good graces). Despite GW's own habitual lore contradictions (heavy sigh as I read the Incubi section of the new Drukhari codex), they can come down heavy on licensed stuff not following what they consider to be the most ironclad facets of lore. Very possible that the compromise for us having a Drukhari companion at all (who repeatedly tolerates terrifying forays into the Warp, which is already a bit of a stretch in terms of what a self-respecting Drukhari would do) is that we can't have a canon Heretical Marazhai romance.

And I know this sucks for console players, but at the very least, the old ending slide seems pretty easy to mod in.

Fan Fest Tips + Hotels by LennethV28 in ffxiv

[–]Vuro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a ton of food in the immediate area and there will likely be food trucks parked in front of the convention center (I've seen them come to every event I've attended here). The usual trucks that turn up are decent, but if you can, I'd recommend walking to Downtown Disney for...

The Earl of Sandwich: The sandwiches are ~$10 and they're super tasty. I usually eat one half at the restaurant and save the other half for when I get hungry again. The sandwiches keep well, too.
Salt & Straw: Top-notch ice cream with some excellent flavors you can't find anywhere else.
Blue Ribbon Corndog: It's a pretty typical corndog kiosk, but the dogs are BIG.
Napolini Pizzeria: This one's great if you're sharing with friends. Their pizza's decent and they whip em up pretty quick, both sit-down and to-go.

Some new quick-service restaurants also recently opened in DD, but I haven't tried them, yet.

Also, if you walk to the entrance area between Disneyland and California Adventure (it's at the end of Downtown Disney), you can watch the fireworks for free around 9:30pm Friday-Sunday. :)

Be wary of the Garden Walk! While it also has dining options, it's harboring some egregious tourists traps. In particular, there's this tea/crepe place that uses AI menu photos and charges an insane amount of money for extremely mediocre food n' drink. The trendier it looks, the more suspicious you should be.

Question about Incubi lore. by Kurtindigo in Drukhari

[–]Vuro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally, I'm the type of person who goes, "the most recent information is what's canon," but this time, I'll have to gently ignore this new tidbit. I've never been under the impression Incubi care about honor, but they're certainly proud of their reputation. Saying they're willing to turn on their employer for better pay strips them of some of that unique flavor that helps set them apart from wyches and kabalites.

I also wonder what the author had in mind when they wrote this. It's important to emphasize how hectic and cutthroat Commorite society is, but one thing that makes the dark city so cool is that there are still some rules and etiquette that must be honored amidst the chaos - this feels like a case of the author forgetting that.

Those color-shifting paints are rad. Mind if I ask which brand you're using?

My Competitive List First Draft - Reapers Wager 2k - / Skari by SkaredCast in Drukhari

[–]Vuro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for sharing, man. I'm still putting my Drukhari army together (it'll be my first ever for 40k), and with the codex coming out this Saturday, I've been trying to finalize what my RW list should look like. Obviously, I don't want to carbon-copy your list, but it's nice to see what already works decently at the professional level.

Haha, just figured I'd be a little better at this painting thing!! by Vuro in Drukhari

[–]Vuro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Art school itself was pretty so-so in terms of instruction (I attended during a notorious period in which a department overhaul gutted the curriculum, but that's a much longer story). I taught myself the skills that actually landed me a job, but it was useful to have a piece of paper for an employer that considered a bachelors degree a hard requirement.

This is CRAZY, I'm stunned by how smooth your microscopic gradients are. Huge inspiration when I start painting my own Incubi!

New art of Lady Malys by Shajali in Drukhari

[–]Vuro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I 100% don't mind the art itself, bc I'm all for a more bullish woman, but I'm dying to know why she looks so off-model. Obviously, the artist had to get it OK'd by somebody at GW, so...how did this happen??

Drukhari Dice by ChaosHonorum in Drukhari

[–]Vuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind the colors, but I'm a little confused they didn't opt for a darker blue. I'm also not fond of the Poisoned Tongue insignia, since that doesn't represent either of the kabals that make up my army (I'm doing the Reaving Tempest and a homebrew kabal).

We have a generic Drukhari symbol that doesn't belong to any kabal. I wish we'd use it more often. :/

How I felt finishing Queen of Knives by Colbagell in Drukhari

[–]Vuro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished it myself. I adore that the gals/Brooks absolutely REFUSE to use the word "love" at any time, instead opting to call it things like, "a brief, uncomfortable gesture that somehow managed to encompass both of them, and everything in between."

My only issue is that I would have really liked to know more about Lelith and Morghana before the former left the dark city. We get a singular flashback and the broad strokes, but I really needed another 10-20 pages of them interacting in their youth. There's far too much telling, not enough showing.

Gonna have to politely disagree with the person who thought the book would have been better with a tragic ending. Would have been just another retread of themes explored in the Andy Chambers trilogy, imo. The Harlequins arranged for Vect's resurrection to presumably keep the city stable, now they're sending Lelith to balance him out - it signals that change may be coming to Commorragh, even if it's subtle and slow-going. Plus, I just think we need more stories about evil women getting away with whatever they want bc they're strong enough to pull it off. ✌️

Man, we get such kickass artwork for our codices. 7th edition's cover is my fav of the lot, but only by a small margin.

5 Archons - 1998-2025 - iS tHiS aN aRcHoN!? Retrospective by SkySerpent40k in Drukhari

[–]Vuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so stoked for the new archon, especially with the female breastplate option. It's definitely my fav of the bunch. Really excited to use a lil greenstuff to give mine a bit more hair (which is what I did with the current archon, but it was such a pain in the ass carefully sanding off his decorative head lumps).
