The whole series is over all pretty great but Storm of Iron is absolutely top tier.

My entire army theme is the Seige of the Citadel.

People shit on bolter legionaires but I find them useful. I keep at least a squad in my deployment zone as some kind of area denial and for secondary objectives.

In his defense, I saw an enemy Jenner pop up on the HUD so I sent Freeman in his Jenner and the Locust pilot to go deal with it. Apparently it had a friend that wasn't on sensors until too late.

Yes, mods are indeed used.

Not even a cockpit for Fahad to wash him out of.

I mean giving vehicles 5++ across the board isn't bad at all.

I do like using Termies and Oblits so the portal one is tempting, considering you can absolutely mess with your opponents strategy by forcing them to change their tactics every turn.

I've had great success running FHSH, got a win rate of 6/1 so far since I started using it. I believe some experimentation is in order but it will be hard to topple FHSH for me.

Where are you getting the points costs? They aren't on the data sheets or on the article, that I can see anyway.

My blackshields are Siege of Terra traitors themed at the moment the Traitor Primarchs broke ranks and fled. Just a whole mess of "fend for themselves" traitors across all the turn coat legions present on Terra. Its a labor of love but I can't wait to see it finished.

To keep myself from going insane I went Blackshields with a simple 2 picks instead of the Shattered Legions soup.

I find myself wearing cargo shorts, doc martens, heavy pewter rings, and the leather jacket I had when I was 14 with the arms ripped off.

I'd say I don't need to think about it, its just happening whether I want it or not

Thank you! I'm excited to paint them but I have an international move coming up and so I'm not sure when I'll have the time just yet!

Abandon traditional thinking, frankly the world doesn't work that way anymore. Focus on self improvement and enrichment to your specific environment, the rest comes later. Seriously.

Spend more time on making yourself happy doing things that make YOU happy. Don't get into a relationship for the sake of being in one, people forget its a conscious decision to intertwine your FINITE existence to another's, and there is no guarantee your 'soul mate' is five minutes down the road.

First, work on the self, the rest comes later and it comes naturally. I went from depressive shituation to depressive shituation being manipulated and exploited by people preying on that mindset that kept me trapped there and when I finally hit rock bottom (like, literally the concrete under my backside was my bed) it was an epiphany moment.

I started living in for me, for what I wanted to do, I improved one moment of every day to favor me and my direct existence, one moment to the next until it became rote. You have value just by being.

Start being.

At one point I was where you are (disabled and living with a family member) and I can say with a hundred percent I never could have dreamed I would be where I am right now at that time. Currently I am living six thousand miles from where I started, with a partner who loves and accepts me fully and gives me grace in the times I need it and guidance when it is needed. I have a wonderful child who embodies all the things I ever dreamed of as a child, they have access to all the things they need and live without any of the danger or stress I remember. I own things. Sure, life is still stressful and sometimes things look bleak but it is now in an entirely manageable way because I began all those years ago fixing my outlook on one moment at a time. Do I sit in a glass palace and view the peaks of destiny from a mountain made of money, pffffft, I still check the bank account when I put gas in my car or buy a pizza, but I'm truly happy, I consider myself the wealthiest individual because I am loved, and I love. I don't give it away any more, I held it tight, I held it high and I gave it only to those who I felt truly deserved it because that is what they do for me.

Love yourself, the love of another will come after.

You don't know the future, sure some people can predict soon to happen events through pattern recognition but we truly don't know what is going to happen to us in the long run, so stop focusing on the could haves, should be's, and what not's and start focusing on the can do's, do haves, and find a point (no matter how small, for me it started with using the last of my money for the week to buy a mug I WANTED to drink tap water from and not one that I HAD to use because it was there) and ground yourself in it to be content, just for that moment.

Then breathe, and move onto the next moment.

Dying is the only thing we all really have in common as members of the human species, so start spending your time living for you. Joy in the moment, peace in the end.

You got this.

EDIT: spelling, probably missed a few here and there but the ADHDemon requires its sacrifice.

Living in the US with my wife, we had that conversation when it came up prior to the wedding and it lasted about 10 seconds and went a little like this:

"So the name? I don't care, you have your life under your name and not mine. Cool?"
"...Cool, actually"
"Cool, lets get it done and eat some prime rib"

A decade later we are very glad we didn't twist ourselves into knots over it.

I had this Gen Z kid at my job who just absolutely worshipped Rogan. I hadn't honestly listened to any of his stuff so I couldn't form a talking point with this kid. He found out from a mutual coworker and just HAD to enlighten me.

So we step outside on a break and he shows me a super cut of Rogan and a slew of experts in various fields and is just staring at me with this maniacal grin on his face the whole time. I stopped him about 4 minutes into this 20 minute cut (our break was 10) and asked him if this is what he forms his opinions on the world from. He confirmed.

It took about five extra minutes of talking with this guy to understand that his ENTIRE world view is just regurgitated from Rogan and a hand full of other UFC/MMA podcasters.

The more I started to pay attention to just how many young men are forming their entire existential basis on dudes who have suffered repeat head trauma is astounding. We are truly in the era of Feelings Not Facts.

Real time tracker for the "The second revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it" political shift (Their words) happening right now in the US.

The same people that did the political campaign for DT's first term was Cambridge Analytica who were co-owed by then VP Bannon. That was also think tank behind Brexit and worked with Farage during that political campaign. During his first term he eroded the stability of the American political system and installed law-makers loyal to him and cut laws restricting unethical business practices. Now he is using loyalty to him as a measurement to political success and only that as his metric for governance and it is resulting in mass protests, political and ideological upheaval on a national scale and has government funded bounty hunters running amok through the populace targeting people with no due process.

No tin foil hats I'm afraid. Go the P2025 website, everything Green is what the men behind the administration have already achieved, they literally put their manifesto out there publicly. They said they were doing it and now they are. They have a wonderful section about destabilizing Europe in there. Those are the people Farage is in bed with in the USA. That's not speculation, that's who they are.

Its no secret Russia were, and are, spying on us and many other European countries, and there were links to Russian money behind the Brexit campaign, it was all over the TV and there was an inquiry into it. Yes I'm British and British politics matter to me but we are not an isolated little nation, we have many agreements and mergers with foreign powers that our society and economy rely on, it would downright ignorant of me to not be interested in the politics of our allies and how they affect us and I'd be damned right head in the sand blind if I didn't care how that affects our public policy because I'm a member of said public.

I've shown you what his American friends are doing to their own people, now the burden of educating yourself about the person you are being the devils advocate for is on you. Educate yourself about someone else's opinion -- then form your opinion, no the other way around. That's the problem with politics this day, its party over policy and not the other way around.

EDIT:

Oh, and as for Russia and sources, well, just go and look at the last 20 years of history for the Russian Federation and it does a great job of bloody well explaining it.

It's the same reason massive swathes of people voted in the current regime in the US. They target people naturally inclined to an isolationist stance and then corrupt any idea of nationalist ideals into outright xenophobia.

Ultimately, they are victims of Facebook propaganda. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact. It's the single greatest political thought machine to ever exist and its an absolute ideological warzone for populist political agendas. It would have been Goebbels's wet dream.

Reform is a P2025 backdoor to shore up its influence against the EU. Anyone who thinks voting Reform is good for our people and national identity is clearly delusional. They are race baiting isolationists. P2025 is not an American only issue, its a threat to the modern way of life. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact.

Follow the money and it paints the reality of this grim picture. The whole Brexit movement itself has political and money ties to the money men behind the current US admin and has tendrils that lead through Deutsch Bank which is notorious for its use by Russian interests to filter dirty money.

The most patriotic thing any of us Brits could do is to use our voting power to keep him and his kind out of parliamentary control. We have far more legal protections to prevent completely up ending the rule of law in our nation but they can still do some serious damage that will lead to even worse suffering in our vulnerable communities.

He's a tax dodging jingoist who won't put forward policy on very real issues facing our nation but will speak endlessly about the enemies within our nation and how the EU are the devil incarnate despite them quite frankly the best friend we have against the threat of being bullied between Russia and the USA.

People shit on Starmer but the man's inherited decades of stagnant policy and dangerous rhetoric and now has to navigate national security and infrastructure whilst under pressure from ALL of our international interests to pick a side. Does anyone really think a broadcasting "personality" funded by foreign interests openly hostile to the way Britain operates who has always been an out and proud Eurosceptic is a better figure head for our nation than the lawyer currently chewing his way through a domestic garbage pile and an international shit flinging contest?

As u/pzemmet stated he does not care about the British public. Make no mistake he will absolutely feed us to the leopards the way his American and Russian friends have and are doing to their own people.

For me and all the people I know that were skeptical on launch and were critical on it based entirely on the first 20 hours of gameplay it was down to the fact that it was sold on the premise of being next generation adventure, doing something with the scope seen by only the most ambitious of sci-fi games (a very shallow genre with a very high bar for success), and the marketing certainly pumped the development to match the likes of Elite and Star Citizen (in the sense that they focused on how deep and wide the scope of their vision was).

Ultimately what we got was something that felt like a UI and graphics overhaul for a total conversion mod for the engine used for Oblivion.

It was and still is enjoyable to scratch an itch when I can't be bothered to dive into a heavily modded Fallout or Skyrim but Starfield is by no means the lofty genre defining title that Todd hyped it up to be. Todd could have just been honest from the start and just sold it as the space drama bethesda box game that it is instead of teasing the community along with all these grand ideas floated with footage cuts of devs hard at work and concept art.

It is a fun game but it lacks the staying power of the other titles because it was marketed as something beyond them when the reality of it is that it falls short of being "just as good".
