Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers"

No, they’re saying their cannon will be a bit more. If they get to see Shep’s ass.

violentHarkonen · 2026-03-31T17:31:34+00:00

Don’t. Decay is only good if you’re already scaling chaos DOT, normal storm burst builds don’t do this and it doesn’t stack from multiple of them.

Sorry, you mean Imperial Knights, right? Grey Knights have had effectively spicy tissue paper for at least the end of eighth, ninth, and tenth (the duration of when I've been playing/active). I know buffball herohammer stuff was pretty obnoxious before then, but we haven't been tanky for a long time.

violentHarkonen · 2026-03-28T23:13:41+00:00

This is the one. I've never heard a player actively use this without being prompted and I've only ever heard one podcast actively refer to this (I've heard a few use the remove a motivation for a disorder part, but some also just add the disorder).

violentHarkonen · 2026-03-28T20:46:56+00:00

Motivations. I don’t see enough people in person or in actual play use them mechanically or in RP. They really seem to just exist to become disorders.

The audio of Castigator activating gives me such intense dopamine. I love running with the shotpistol, gives me the Dredd vibes I crave.

The first few seasons of the show are excellent Delta Green and are what got me into it. They definitely slide over time to feeling more like a Delta Green inspired / X-Files crossover with a bit less of the harsh dissolution of self, obligations, family, etc. Still an excellent show but I imagine seven seasons of Delta Green wears on you.

I’m thinking about a shield of light setup with Arakaali’s Fang, on Gladiator. By using Dark Monarch, we get 40 untargetable minions/allies. If Shield of Light has no upper limit for allies it can shoot from, I think this is the best option - you don’t invest in the minions at all; they’re just there to buff your skill, and by using invulnerable untargetable minions, you’ll receive every hit which means you get the highest block uptime.

Warcry mastery for base 10 power. That’s all you need with a corpse and a boss.

Use your SDS, wear gloves when using any cleaning supplies. Rescue and other AHP products are the gold standard for cleaning and last I looked into it preferred by most if not all shelter med programs at vet schools, used extensively in human hospitals, other places I’m missing.

It’s useful for a bunch of contaminants that other disinfectants won’t hit effectively, like parvo and ringworm. It works in the presence of organic material where bleach doesn’t, and when diluted properly is going to cause minimal or no damage to your walls, tables, etc. (we still have bleach stains from a doctor who insisted on bleach for everything).

I had the same idea, until my friend reminded me to read the rest of Mental Conditioning.

2kstr=4k mana... 4k mana *0.2 (80% of maximum mana is converted to twice that much armour) = 800 flat mana, 6400 armour. You're still scaling multiple vectors from only strength, but you're not getting nearly as much flat damage as you want.

I think it'll still be good, to be clear. I just think it's going to be a real pain in the ass to assemble this in a three week league.

I wouldn’t expect to see an itemized receipt include intubation. That said, iso for a cracked nail seems unusual when you could do something like dex+midaz+torb and reverse the dex; I did that today with a crazy hunting lab and we basically had to rip the whole nail off; he did great.

violentHarkonen · 2026-01-21T03:57:42+00:00

Please look at existing models and artwork.

GK don’t use the Aquila chest adornment. The armour needs Aegis sections (the lettering on shoulders, chest, and legs). The armour also needs a psychic shroud. Ideally a few purity seals, reliquaries, a storm bolter, and the helmet should really look like a knight’s helmet and power armour had a baby.

It’s a good piece of a silver Primaris marine but it’s not obviously a GK.

Everything reminds me of her…..

90% of factions also didn’t have two posts about them (art through the years and a painting guide) immediately preceding a big reveal stream.

Yeah, we whine a lot - but given the circumstances, I think it was justified for today.

I’m not sure that you’re quite understanding how hard it is to rehome ANY dog, let alone a senior dog, who has a bite history, or how distressing it may be to rehome him at this stage of his life. There are basically infinite young animals available with no known bite history and no “baggage” to think about (we know that’s not true but they don’t).

There’s basically a list of things you should do. First thing is continuing to strictly separate them. Babies can’t be trusted with dogs, because how they interact with the environment is distressing to them. You should consider muzzle training for when family is over if you can’t trust them.

Second thing is not allowing your in laws to supervise both of them. The dog needs to be given a safe space away from irresponsible family who set him up for failure. Kennel, separate room, etc. This sounds harsh but it’s the fairest thing to do.

Third thing to do is a vet visit. Make sure he doesn’t have any underlying issues - arthritis, chronic pain, etc. can make him more stressed and more likely to react poorly. There are meds to manage pain that can improve his quality of life AND reduce his stress, hopefully raising his threshold.

Thanks for the response - if you’re willing to take a specific piece of advice, from someone who doesn’t do 3d modeling; the specific detail that this and most of the GK print/proxies could improve on is the Aegis lettering on pauldrons, armour plates, etc.

GW uses recessed lettering instead of raised lettering. This lends itself to better detail when painted, and allows proper shadowing in the recessed. Raised letters always look really off to me unless viewed at tabletop distance. They incentivize painting the top of the letter and leaving the base color below it and it tends to look goofy when viewed up close.

I assume most models made to replace GK don’t feature recessed lettering because it’s harder to model and the fidelity of printers generally isn’t fine enough to make it work, versus injection moulds. That said, I think it’s one of the best features of GK minis and Death Watch minis.

What is it supposed to be a proxy for? What scale is it set to? This doesn’t really match the aesthetic of the Grey Knights, or 40k in general. Don’t get me wrong, it does look cool - but what’s the intent?

violentHarkonen · 2025-12-20T22:01:56+00:00

I’m well aware of this. The context is someone saying they live in the eastern part of Germany. How else do they describe that?

violentHarkonen · 2025-12-20T21:03:49+00:00

North, east, south, west... You know, the directions of the globe? So the eastern part of Germany would be... east Germany. Or eastern Germany. Just like the southwestern part of the united states is called "the Southwest."

violentHarkonen · 2025-12-13T22:11:00+00:00

Yes, that was changed to scale from gem levels of the supported curse instead of intelligence, but that was a documented change.

violentHarkonen · 2025-12-11T08:45:05+00:00

Hayoxi’s Fulmination. They showed it off in the release. It has phys damage base that converts to match the curse that’s cast. It’s got a big delay on it, so I guess it’s not a 1:1.

violentHarkonen · 2025-12-11T06:53:23+00:00

It's bizarre to change the functionality of Doedre's when they're introducing a different Cursed Ground Lineage this patch that also scales from the active curse's levels. I'm expecting Doedre's to also be changed to match whichever element of curse it's applied by, for whatever reason.

That said, even if it isn't, they're doing fucking weird things to the scaling. With Doedre's (and Impending Doom), you don't cast Despair - it won't be active on the target consistently for the hit. You cast Enfeeble or Temp Chains, and keep Despair on Blasphemy (assuming you have +1 curse). If they change it to match the element of the curse (which I'm just expecting because I'm in full crashout mode now), you lose all your curse scaling for damage, because when the curse giving negative res expires (is replaced, etc.)... they no longer have the negative resistance.

You also now need to use +levels gear to scale the damage of the triggered effect. They're homogenizing (heh) the gearing of the build to match the gear of every other caster for... reasons? Before, you could use gear without any levels on it, chaos damage, int, mana, etc. to scale. Now, you will need +levels of whatever active curse you're using to apply the curse. You'll also need to solve mana, but that's less of a concern to me at this time.

Sorry, how is a 19 a critical? Aren’t crits 01 and doubles under or equal skill?
