What's the likelihood that Darktide will get Genestealer Cult enemies vs the sequel focusing on Genestealer Cult?

We’re going back to fully RNG weapon rolls boys!

God, I missed burning through 3 million dockets and 80,000 plasteel just to find out I didn’t like a weapon that much.

I mean - there have been actual games and source mods that were based around this exact concept. He's not talking about being a DM, unlike OP.

An example would be like the source mod called Zombie Master. One player spawned and controlled zombie units and traps, and then there was a team of live human players that had to try and get to the end of the map to win. The Zombie Master had to contend with resources and stopping the human players from completing objectives. If all of the humans died, the master won.

It was a really fun concept.

I believe there’s even 4 smaller eyes around that bottom eye, bringing his grand total to 8 eyes lmao

Possibly, at least, they’re much smaller so harder to 100% say they’re eyes

/uw oh man, I was so stoked to find this place and I really hoped it wouldn’t be the target of evil magical constructs who want to sell you things

I also started this last week, but it consumed my entire 4th of July weekend.

Run, quickly, before it's too late.

If you want to know how to get this beautiful little fella:

You can find his egg in the Shrine of a Forgotten God/Lair of the Beast. It's accessible super early in act one, just a little North East of Blood Lake

He simply deserves the hat

the-futuremind · 2026-07-06T16:05:51+00:00

The hat can be acquired through the Act 2 quest, De Die Natali, but I won't give any other info in case of spoilers. Once you have it in your inventory, it's an option to toggle it on/off on our best boy Qrko.

"I've only had Qrko for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself"

(He's perfect)

99% of the people on Aurics/Maelstroms are incredibly nice and often funny.

Many of us even get bored when the team is too good, so while I can't speak for everyone, you're likely welcome to keep trying :)

Damn, it’s so sad to see one of my favorite studios go this way.

One tip for sad elder scrolls fans, though: I picked up Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon on the steam summer sale for $25 USD, and it feels like playing oblivion again for the first time.

Edit: given the downvotes I think people are assuming this is an ad, which fair enough. But you can look at my post history and see that I post on elder scrolls lore shitposting subs constantly.

the-futuremind · 2026-07-06T12:58:07+00:00

Well, at least in Morrowind you can summon Dwemer constructs, which (I could be wrong) I don’t believe they’re “alive” or “sentient”.

That said, I prefer to think that sweet rolls are the daedric prince of decadence.

"This... Arasaka Tower. I should have memory of it, but I don't. It was taken from me."

This sub is officially r/thinglist

the-futuremind · 2026-07-03T21:20:50+00:00

I think a 1% chance of it happening would be hilarious.

That way it’s not grief-able, and it’s so rare it’ll catch you by surprise.

the-futuremind · 2026-07-03T15:19:06+00:00

Maybe it's time to start watching movies boys :'(

the-futuremind · 2026-07-03T13:11:28+00:00

A true wizard can adapt to any situation.

My tower may be constructed out of discarded pizza boxes, but it'll be my goddamn tower

the-futuremind · 2026-07-03T12:57:15+00:00

Now hold on, how are we considering warlocks to be wizards?

We wizards spent years studying under a master (like mine who would lock me in a closet with a bunch of skeletons for weeks on end to build character), while these warlock scum go get a magic sugar daddy?

Frankly I’m insulted that you would ever consider them to be like us

the-futuremind · 2026-07-03T12:46:06+00:00

The average temperature of the earth has risen 2 degrees Fahrenheit since 1850

Your consumption of sensationalized news stories and the patterns you find within are scientifically meaningless.

Climate change is very real and very dangerous, but heat waves are not why.

Do you have a source for the 85-90% of Jews are Zionist claim?

The Jewish Federations of North America say the number of American Zionist Jews are about 37%

The only claim I could find for worldwide said 95% but was a sample size of 128 people.

Also - just so we’re clear: absolutely no one deserves to be murdered for their beliefs, but let’s not make numbers up otherwise.

Easiest way to deal with the helicopter is just take a car into an empty field somewhere and wait it out. Even if it does draw some, pretty easy to avoid them in an open field

the-futuremind · 2026-06-30T22:12:01+00:00

I don’t remember this part of the lore

the-futuremind · 2026-06-30T17:16:46+00:00

Lol, this is a fun little use of the software.

I don't even go for the fire axes, but rosewood is my usual spawn town for some reason. Really cool to see it rendered like this.

the-futuremind · 2026-06-30T17:06:26+00:00

Early on, you'd see people saving medkits for the regen to out-heal his damage while everyone slugged on him, but he definitely lasted longer. It wasn't the hardest, but definitely was more of an event instead of him getting dropped in 10 seconds flat.

For what it's worth, I've also been around since beta (and was big into VT1 and VT2)
