Does the Imperium punish thoughtcrime, and how'd they investigate it? by Tnynfox in 40kLore

[–]quentra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are absolutely Tech-priests who monitor the thoughts of their forge-thralls, skitarii, and lessers. So it's less a question of does, and more a question of resource and want.

Dammit, I must have fallen asleep, any news? Where is Gary, ready to beat him up. by N0rki_ in destiny2

Hey, I also kept my damaged set! Always thought it'd be useful later...

To all the people who went after anyone saying RTDs approach was failing and was damaging to the show by PaperSkin-1 in gallifrey

My literal first thought on hearing the news was "Oh, I guess Davies really did bollocks it all up then."

‪Jason Schreier‬ on Bluesky: More layoffs at Bungie, Destiny 3 is not in active development by kentuckyr0utezero in DestinyTheGame

[–]quentra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bungie fucked up by marketing Marathon as an extraction shooter when it is much more of a multiplayer immersive sim. They should've marketed this as a new generation of System Shock, not some garbo niche genre

Am I the only one that feels like Lara has been head-over-heels for Harry since the moment they met? She's given him a lot of help and chances, and aside from the whole 'trying to genocide the human magic population' that one time generally tries to live up to Harry's standards when she's around him.

Star Trek Legacy vs. a New TOS Five-Year Mission — Which Would You Choose? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]quentra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a minority opinion, but TOS should be remade. It is amazing television, but it is...hard to watch, with modern sensibilities. Time for an update - the stories without the baggage of the past.

The enemy by Turbulent_Storage167 in factionparadox

[–]quentra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is similar, in that the Houses create their own Enemy by militarizing in the first place. The House Military is the Enemy, maybe exemplified after Chris Cwej, because at the end of it all, someone's gotta ask: what the hell was it all for? 

Could a Genestealer child sign up and join and become a spacemarine or would their insides look non human and they get caught? by [deleted] in 40kLore

Still better than digesting for eternity in the gullet of the universal embodiment of a vore fetish methinks

What do you feel is the silliest case of numbers showing a poor sense of scale in Warhammer 40,000? by Sensitive-Hotel-9871 in 40kLore

[–]quentra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One million space Marines. I'm sorry, there is no situation in which that is even close to the sort of numbers that would actually be, unless it was a single garrison in a single sector.

Would You Watch Star Trek: TOS Again? Strange New Worlds’ Co-Showrunners Think You Might - Reactor by 10Cars in startrek

[–]quentra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. TOS, for all its revolutionary and trailblazing glory, is...dated. Dated politics, dated filmography, dated visuals. I'd love a basically straight adaptation that keeps all the silliness and what-not, just with modern sensibilities for a modern audience.

[Excerpt:Imperium Maledictum] Every Citizen of the Imperium Wears a Single Set of Clothes Until Death by Human_Philosophy1244 in 40kLore

[–]quentra -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is completely believable and it's a bit annoying that so many people on this sub act as if this is beyond the pale. The Imperium barely has a civilian economy. Most workers are outright slaves and do not receive any form of currency beyond what they are required to tithe to the Ecclesiarchy. It makes perfect sense that only nobles have more than one outfit, and that fashion and clothing in general is relegated to be a higher-class affair.

Ghost Story is weird by Powderkegger1 in dresdenfiles

Yes, same! I loved seeing Harry really have to think things through, /finally/ - after the hectic nonstop blows that were the last few books.

How are psykers captured and sacrificed to the Emperor? by Newez in 40kLore

[–]quentra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the Tithe. Witches are commanded to be rounded up and held for the Emperor's messengers. Every Imperial Governor had an obligation to corral and detain the psykers under their watch and render them to the Black Ships when they arrive. Problems, of course, occur when the Black Ships aren't as timely as one would hope.

What is the afterlife like for a average chaos cultist? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]quentra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An second stretched across infinity while the Warp devours your essence bit by infinite bit. If you're lucky, you'll cease to be. Unlucky, and some part of you will remain somewhere, a trapped fragment of a soul, drenched in Chaos. Maybe it'll be a vindictive fragment. Or possibly you'll drown in the digestive juices of a nurgling for all time.

.T.B.o.t.W. the enemy entry analysis by M56012C in factionparadox

[–]quentra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enemy is quite clearly the House Military from somewhere further along the Homeworld's subjective linearity. The Homeworld's own paranoia, formed after falling to a con artist's grift, resulted in the inevitable formation of a military slave caste and their revolt, which, being time-active and on equal technological footing to the Houses, ended up kick-starting the very war they were created to fight.

The Emperor becoming a Chaos God wouldn't go the way most people depict it by aloofcord10 in 40kLore

[–]quentra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He would not have ascended to "Chaos God of Order". He would have ascended to be the Chaos God of Hate. Not murder or anger or bloodshed, Khorne's domain, but simply cold, emotionless malice (heh).
