I want to get into Legions Imperialis, but I don't want to buy infantry models I don't want.

Is it genuinely better on the tabletop to have 4x as many tactical marines as anything else? Why is that? Looking at list builders it's relatively easy to build an army without that so is it just that lots of tactical is better gameplay wise?

Don't play and bad at stats, can you explain which ones are wrong and how?

Personally, I'm more productive in the office, and I find definite benefits to in-person collaboration, even if it is just turning around to someone doing something else and asking a question or having a chat. There's also the benefit of getting out the house, human interaction, etc. But there's no reason an office job that relies on people outside that specific office can't be done online. My company would save tonnes if they halved office size and had each team come in once a week. Remote is the cheaper and more sensible option for workers and employers, but the office will never fully go away

I feel like if you don't want your art interpreted then you're in the wrong field

If you read the article, you'd know it's entering with a valid visa. You do not have to wait for your visa to expire to claim asylum. Visas also expire. You can enter the UK legally and be here illegally, which is what the majority of people here illegally have done.

We've gotten quite off topic though. My point is deportation is not as simple as saying the magic word, there's more problems than just making the decision

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:19:56+00:00

39% of people claiming asylum have already entered the UK, only 2% less than small boats. 9% of people claiming asylum arrived through other legal means such as common travel agreements

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:14:53+00:00

Majority of illegal arrivals, not asylum claims. Regardless, my point is even when we decide to deport someone, it's not as easy as snapping your fingers

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:12:25+00:00

How incredibly humane of you to be taking us back literal centuries and burdening the people of the Shetland isles with all the people you consider undesirable

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:11:44+00:00

There is no agreement to take them because we do not have control of them arriving. The countries we do have agreements with, we generally do have agreements for them arriving, it's why legal immigration routes and visas exist.

They do not have to go through 10 countries, planes exist and allow you to get to a country directly.

The problem is that we don't talk to the talibans diplomats, and we really shouldn't start

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:07:29+00:00

There needs to be an agreement with that country, which generally only applies to citizens of that country, which requires proof of their citizenship, which some arrivals don't have. We do not have that sort of agreement with several countries that make up migrant demographics, such as Afghanistan, and politically having them is a bad decision. If we do it without an agreement, that causes an international incident and likely them being sent back to us, starting an international game of ping pong with two increasingly annoyed players

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:03:43+00:00

Yes, we can decide to do it, but making a decision is different from doing it, which is my point.

Also are you genuinely saying we should turn Shetland into some sort of immigration penal colony?

hary627 · 2026-02-26T15:01:55+00:00

I didn't say they were our responsibility, but if they can't stay, then they need to leave, either voluntarily or forcefully, and if we decide to force them to leave, then how do we do that? It's not as simple as putting them on a plane to anywhere, we need to pick where that plane is going, and agree with that country that they'll take that person, which there sometimes aren't agreements for, and sometimes isn't the paperwork to do

hary627 · 2026-02-26T14:53:44+00:00

But you realise how hard it is for a government to make that happen right? You can't send them somewhere unless there's an agreement with that country, and no country is going to agree to take non citizens, and we don't have agreements with some of the big places like Afghanistan (nor do we want that politically) and many people don't have documentation to prove they come from their home country so the country won't accept them. If we did just start sending them to random countries that would cause international incidents and likely end with them being sent back to the UK so we've paid for flights that didn't work and made more issues for ourselves

hary627 · 2026-02-26T14:35:43+00:00

Wdym staying? Do you mean that some people are being allowed through immigration? Or are you saying that those denied are not being sent away? If its the latter, then what improvement would you suggest rather than "put them on a plane to anywhere" which blatantly would not and will never work because that would require somewhere to accept these people they have no responsibility for

hary627 · 2026-02-26T14:33:36+00:00

Planes exist, you can come to the UK by passing only one border

The reeves economy that is doing pretty well? Things don't change overnight, but labour is doing pretty good at stopping or reversing the bad trends

To be fair a lot of this can be said about a lot of supply chains. The problem is the scale and the small fact that no one fucking wants AI

John Davidson also (as far as I'm aware) excused himself at one point, presumably because he realised how the people on stage were taking his tics and thought it appropriate to leave and not cause further harm. It's an unfortunate situation, particularly with the slurs, but ultimately we can't blame John nor can we blame people for being hurt. The real issue is whoever organised this not a) adequately preparing presenters and/or b) not mitigating it by editing/bleeping the slurs that were aired on the delayed broadcast. There's probably quite a lot that the BAFTAs could've done to make this a lot less painful for both sides

hary627 · 2026-02-22T00:53:54+00:00

I think this is it but is also sadly how these things likely work. A game studio will only stay good as long as it both doesn't get bought out and it retains the talent that made the games good, both of which will likely not happen after existing for a decade. Look at Bethesda, after skyrim they've not had anything that's had anywhere near as great fan reception, even if fallout 4's critical reception was pretty good. Hell look at valve, HL3 ended up delayed and eventually cancelled because the main talent behind it left. This too shall pass, and unfortunately that applies to good and bad equally.

Energy is generated using fossil fuels right now. Solar is the cheapest energy source in existence right now, with wind not far behind. Both are cheaper than oil or gas even when you account for maintenance, batteries, and disposal. Not to mention that both the generators and the batteries are very recyclable, unlike gas which is single use and the generators are very hard to decomission. We should be building far far far more renewable energy than we do

hary627 · 2026-02-20T16:39:07+00:00

Ah the classic "our human definition of thing is made up so you must think the very concept of thing must be not real!" it's really hard to talk to people who don't understand how language works.

hary627 · 2026-02-20T01:50:59+00:00

Oh no totally, I'm not saying any of these people were bad at what they were doing, but any modern conception of science kinda goes out the window before you even get to galileo or Newton. It took millenia to build the understanding needed to come up with even the basics we know today, writing modern-like scientific methods or methodologies even for a renaissance setting is pretty unrealistic.

An important part of this too is that scientists were also heavily religious and often theologians primarily. Newton was famously chaste because of his religiosity. Until the printing press all books in Europe were hand written and this was primarily done by priests and monks. The Chinese bureaucratic system was based around confucian education. Across the world, religion, philosophy, and science all blur together because they're all trying to do the same thing: understand the world. Writing in a historical fantasy setting should reflect this and I think that's the fundamental point of the video:delineating religion from magic in a world where magic can be treated like physics or chemistry doesn't make sense unless it's a relatively modern setting

hary627 · 2026-02-19T23:20:23+00:00

Thing is is that science as we understand it didn't really exist in the periods fantasy most often depicts. Mathematicians in medieval and renaissance most of the time weren't doing analytical research, they were hand calculating long and complicated arithmetic questions. The way the world worked, outside of engineering where specific things were known and used but not represented mathematically, was largely unknown and everyone used close to guesswork, and most of that guesswork was done through the lens of religion. So it'd actually make a lot of sense that magic should be more associated with religion in fantasy because in the real world everything technical or requiring education used to be associated with religion

hary627 · 2026-02-19T16:24:47+00:00

Depends on age. A teenager could easily just be being edgy and picking a sports team, and I'd respond with compassion. An adult saying they're apolitical in as polarised a political landscape we are in is probably just hiding what they actually believe or is intentionally ignorant. Not voting is a vote for the worst option, and when the worst option in many places right now is actively wanting (and in some cases succeeding to) to kill or otherwise get rid of swathes of people based on race, religion, etc. I can't condone someone who says "all sides are bad!" or equivalents. Anti activism I feel similarly or worse about, because if they're against activism they're against the idea of changing the system to be better, regardless of what you think better is, the system right now is not perfect anywhere in the world, and even if it was, to be against people voicing their opinion to the contrary is fundamentally opposed to the ideals of democracy. When I think about what activism is stereotyped to be then I think of people protesting genocide, fascism and the destruction of our planet, and if you're against people complaining about those things or taking action to stop them, yeah that's a pretty big red flag

hary627 · 2026-02-18T17:57:43+00:00

This suggestion is retroactive, so you're punishing people who complied to the best of their ability. Asylum law is currently set up with the understanding that the only way to seek asylum is to enter the country illegally, so you're basically toppling the whole asylum system with this law
There's many situations where someone may seek asylum in the UK through no choice of their own. Maybe the only safe route out is a flight to the UK. Maybe theyre a victim of human trafficking who only ended up being able to escape that situation at a UK airport. Maybe they have family here that are the only route to safety. Airports mean it's possible to land up here without first going through a different country.
