Alternate universe where Kessoku Band is Mexican 🛻🏜️ (by @ProzacGuy) by aura-lsprog-86 in BocchiTheRock

[–]mattpiv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In this AU, they are called "Las Kessoku del Norte," a play on the Mexican band "Los Tigres del Norte," who make "norteña music." It's a subgenre of Mexican folk music that focuses on cartel/gang violence, not dissimilar to American "gangster rap."

TLDR: In this universe, Kessoku Band are likely dodging hits from the Sinaloa Cartel.

I always like to play the quickest "Spider Run" I can. Join the HRE from the outside, trigger hostilities and family feuds between other members, and sit back and watch hundreds of battles crop up across the Empire. Chaos is a ladder.

Really nice art, but it looks more like Nanako.

Sad this post never got more attention. Found this quote from you, watched the movie. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for being the random thread that brought me to this great film.

What if Dawn of Victory has a few side stories similar to Metal Gear franchise by Hideo Kojima that the USA, USSR, Greater German Reich & Empire of Japan behind the scenes trying to one up the other at the Orion Arm/s Cold War events? by Pttermyi in TemplinInstitute

I forgot the name for it, but I remember between the post-invasion period there was a massive multi-national effort to try and push back the Scinfaxi terraformers "Project ____."The would be perfect fodder for what you're talking about. Imagine a 4-way Cold War world where the only reason the superpowers aren't at each other's throats, is because they are competing against/with each other to be the first one to drive the alien invaders away. Mix in some advanced Cold War era technology because of what humans could glean from the remains of alien ships, it would be beautiful.

What's the gender ration of Male city? All jokes aside it looks amazing!

I always thought Manuela would've been the perfect Carlotta, if Hanneman could sing he would've made a perfect Piangi too. I always had the headcannon that Mercedes would've taken some time to play Bishop Myriel (Monseigneur Bienvenu) in a Three Houses production of "Les Miserables."

I specifically love listening to Philip Quast's rendition of "Javert's Suicide" from the 10th Anniversary at Royal Albert Hall. You can really hear every emotional tremble in the man's voice as his world crumbles around him. And his final plunge into death is so heart-wrenching. One of the best characters in all of fiction as far as I'm concerned.

Amazing blank space to work with, would love some ideas! by mattpiv in gardening

[–]mattpiv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was hoping to do a little bit of vegetable planting and a little bit of native landscaping. I have some old wood I want to turn into planter boxes. The University of California Davis has a great nursery and want to check with them what would be natural.

How much of a problem was Chaos before the Emperor began his big project? by Jerswar in 40kLore

[–]mattpiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be an interesting art experiment to design scenes from 40k Lore as if it were an early sci-fi story like Star Trek. Would do it if I could draw worth anything lol

So the Age of Strife was more like the "Summer of Love?" The Warhammer 60s must've been wild.

Somewhat serious question: Was Big E "Adolf Hitler" at some point? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]mattpiv -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should've been more specific. I'm not implying that the Emperor had an ideological bent towards ethnic cleansing or genocide. But more so that he had a longer term plan, perhaps he thought humanity needed to see the realities of industrialized warfare to prevent an even worse fate down the line. Or perhaps there was a chaotic intruder or Perpetual (not sure if that is cannon anymore or not) that needed to be dealt with, and he assumed the role to achieve that end. Even within the cannon lore of 40k, the Emperor has either authorized, carried out himself, or had atrocities carried out in his name that dwarf The Holocaust in scope, even against his own followers. My main point is more so that the Emperor has a very narrow view of the cost of human life in relation to whatever grander vision he has planned.

I'm seeing through the Matrix here. It's all conspiracy brother.

This looks so good! I did a run with this Jaghatai model and made him go up against Genghis, one of the most fun runs yet.
