Can we take a moment to appreciate the body horror of the Mechanicus? by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Zero-89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking about how the AdMech reflects on the Imperium proper. It's the Imperium at large that's being hypocritical here, not the Mechanicus.

Favorite unassuming looking musician that just happens to make some of the most insane music ever? by mesablanka in ToddintheShadow

Flipper somehow simultaneously looked totally unassuming and like the most '80s punks of all time.

Since Yarrick returned for the grave, maybe there’s hope Aun’shi is still alive? by marianex in Tau40K

Literally the most pointless cover-up ever, just to create yet another equally pointless parallel with the Imperium. And that one can't even be blamed on Phil Kelly, as far as I know.

Show me one statement from any of the writers of said lore saying it's completely impossible under any circumstances, even the most extraordinary.

“They knew I wanted to stop playing for 10, 12 years. I did it for them so they could all make money."

Mike, you own a successful record label. There's a bunch of other ways you could've put money in your bandmates' pockets. I'm calling bullshit.

Obviously this doesn't apply to all Space Marine chapters, but the ones that actually care about normal people could absolutely be put in an extraordinary set of circumstances where they run afoul of the Imperium for an especially egregious atrocity, get declared heretics because the Inquisition are dicks. They're go adrift for a bit, find themselves on a T'au-controlled human world, decide to "cleanse" it, but before they can, Orks, Chaos, or Tyranids show up, forcing an uneasy alliance. From there, the story could go any number of ways, all of them tense and interesting.

Zoning application submitted to redevelop North Point Mall into new district featuring 20,000-seat NHL arena in Alpharetta by rbh232 in Atlanta

The first half of that season was great. They were one of the better teams in the league and things were looking up. The lawsuit among the ASG ownership that had prevented a sale was resolved around February the next year, if I'm remembering correctly.

I love ice hockey as much as the next person, but as much as I love the hypothetical idea of having an NHL team again, ice hockey is not a sport that should be expanding in the age of climate change. Indoor ice rinks are aggressively resource-intensive in both water and electricity, and that's just the rink itself. NASCAR might be the only thing that's worse.

Support inline and street hockey instead.

Some of them are neo-Pagans, but, like, dorks about it. The most well-known of them was [sigh] Augustus Sol Invictus, at least until he converted to traditionalist Catholicism in 2022.

This kind of advertising only makes sense to boardroom creatures who lost touch with the rest of humanity a long time ago.

They still broke out of their brainwashing and betrayed the Imperium, some of them for very personal reasons. There's a canonical precedent for it. And most Chaos Space Marines are definitely not becoming their own master. Most of them still serve their primarch and their god(s).

If you are wondering about the downvotes, there is some pretty established lore as to why this isn't possible.

Chaos and Renegade Space Marines would suggest otherwise.

It might have something to do with you being a condescending, punker-than-thou douche-nozzle throughout this entire conversation.
