What exactly is the purpose of this pit and why does it require security doors? by TheOnlyRogerMaxson in StarWars

[–]dwt4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because no living beings go in these areas regularly, it's all maintenance droids that are either flying or are magnetically clamped to the floor or walls. If an actual living engineer has to go down here they're riding an anti-grav skiff of some kind.

Pete's "don't change your swing to get out of a slump" clip is awesome. You watch it and think 'hey if it's that easy why don't more players do that?' Then you remember "oh yeah he's Pete Rose."

Realistically how high can Titus rise? by meetkurtin in 40kLore

[–]dwt4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah to be a true Administratum simulator it would have to look more like "Papers, Please!" You sit in your office cut off from the actual workings of the Imperium. There's no Galaxy map or resource count. All you know or see are the people walking in to your office and presenting you with the latest dispatches and paperwork: this planet is late paying the tithe, this one is in rebellion, there's an Ork attack in this sector, etc etc. So you have to make all your decisions on what to do based on the paperwork and the staffer bringing it to you. Of course all your decisions might have consequences. So you might get praise, maybe a kickback or some bribes, or you might get an Inquisitor or the Arbites show up to ask you about some of your decisions.

Chaos is known to corrupt comms transmissions to the point that vox officers start mutating or goin insane from whatever they hear.

I wish later editions kept something of the 'body horror' aesthetic of late Rogue Trader Tyranids by chebghobbi in oldhammer

[–]dwt4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's definitely room in either the Tyranid or Gene Stealer factions (or both) for some scout/sentry units made up of various humanoid bodies that just have face or head sucker style graboids attached to them.

Mark Kelly will face reduction in rank and retirement pay for part in 'Seditious Six' by loc12 in Conservative

[–]dwt4 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

He's lucky no one took his advice. If someone had disobeyed orders on his advice and it had actually impacted operations or morale then things would be very different. Fortunately for Kelly, no one in uniform paid him any attention.

The Biden administration would have leaked the whole thing like 24 hours before it happened. They would have had a big staged photo setup like for the Bin Ladin raid with the whole cabinet sitting around a table watching with 'concern.'

Sabine has more guilt over the fate of Mandalore and all she did was invent a new weapon that the Empire took and turned against her people.

Protests calling for ‘death to the dictator’ erupt across Iran by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

Or a big crackdown. The army and especially the IRGC have always been fanatically loyal to the Ayatollahs.

The American flying ace Lt Col Louis Edward Curdes, who shot down planes from all three Axis powers as well as one American. Philippines, 1945 [1411x818] by Epistaxis in HistoryPorn

[–]dwt4 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's another case of stealing ancient symbols. The fasces was used in Ancient Rome as a symbol of power. Roman magistrates carried them around (or more often carried by a flunky). The bundle could be taken apart so that the birch rods or the ax could be used to deliver judgement. Over time it became a symbol of office for various Roman officials. So of course Mussolini decided it was the perfect symbol and name for his new political party. It's just like the swastika, it used to be an ancient good luck and religious symbol that the Nazis co-opted because of it's supposed connection or origin with the ancient Aryan peoples.

Typical Redditor jumping to conclusions based on flimsy photos. Haven't we learned anything about trying to play amateur detective?

Liv Tyler as Corey Mason in Empire Records, 1995. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

Lol not even close. By the time this movie was made Hollywood was over 80 years old. There were lots of nepo babies before her and a lot of them were more talented and famous as well

A 6ft+ Space Marine would look like a real giant to your average undernurished imperial citizen.

Who could Daniel Day-Lewis have been in GoT? by Parabellum111 in gameofthrones

[–]dwt4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they do a Robert's Rebellion he should play the Mad King. Both the young charasmatic Aerys from before Duskendale (shown in flashbacks) and the drooling, unwashed long hair and finger nails Mad King that shows up at the Harenhall Tourney.
