There are plenty of humans gooning to Asari and Quarians right now, and they’re fictional. Why wouldn’t the situation be mirrored if we actually met another species with roughly analogous anatomy?
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 1 day ago:
Fuuuuck. I don’t really care about this one, but now I’m worried they’re slopping up Dark Heresy too.

Bongos, error beeps, and the wails of the damned.
- Comment on I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in? 1 week ago:
Sure, but what about Warhammer?

Damn dude, that’s comprehensive as fuck.
Maybe you can confirm if I have some other stuff down that you didn’t mention? I poked my head down some wiki rabbit holes, and I love a good origin story so I started looking waaay back.
So the Warp is an alternate dimension affected by the thoughts and emotions of sentient beings from this one, and also apparently a place souls do or would go before being reincarnated? As we evolved and started having more of us and more complex negative emotions, these eddies in the Warp coalesced into Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle.
Earth’s shamans (proto-psykers?) start to notice their fellows aren’t reincarnating so much anymore and figure out the chaos gods are nomming them up in the Warp when they die. They get every shaman on earth together in a council, and decide on a Jonestown Voltron plan, whereby they’ll all kill themselves at once, fuse into a mega-soul in the Warp, and give the chaos gods good wallop to send them running for awhile.
That shaman Voltron soul incarnates in 8000 BCE as the boy that will one day be the Emperor.
Emps just kind of does the Vandal Savage thing on Earth until we get a spacefaring civilization rolling. He starts leading shit, allies with the Mechanicus on Mars and founds the Imperium in the late 30th millenium.
Unrelated and around the same time, the Aeldari (hedonistic space elves) have a rave orgy so good they cause Slaanesh to form and simultaneously fuck open that hole to the Warp someone mentioned.
Yadda yadda yadda space crusade Yadda yadda yadda Horus Heresy Yadda yadda “In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.”
Is that more or less on-point? I haven’t looked into most xenos too much besides the Aeldari waking Slaanesh. I think the T’au are the galactic newbies and kinda space dwarves? And the Nekrons were far far away genetically engineering slave races while Emps was still shitting his loincloth?

I probably didn’t want to have the conversation in the first place, now you want me to contribute to it too?

Something about the expression and composition on that little Pepe comic reminds me of old Mad magazines.

I can’t quite tell from the trailer if it’s what they’re doing, and unfortunately I can’t find the video about this that I watched recently, but I wonder if they’re talking about “animating on 2s”? It’s a technique where the character’s animation only changes every other frame, which gives an effect that’s just slightly choppy but pleasing to a lot of people. It’s how they animated the Spider-verse movie.
- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 5 weeks ago:
God, I hope so. How bleak would it be if this were baseline reality?
- Comment on Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report 5 weeks ago:
You’re right, of course. Indie devs with passion are still putting out some great stuff.
My ire was much more for the AAA studios, which seem to have tossed out all the talent and vision that brought them to the top.
I mean, I was Ride or Die with Square Enix for decades, when they were different companies. After 16, I think I’m just done with new Final Fantasy games altogether. Fuck you guys, imma go play 6, 8, and 9.

Not playing games, or not playing the current live service shovelware they keep pulling out?
Lots of people are realizing there were more quality games released between 1985 and 2015 than you could ever play in a lifetime. We don’t need new shit if it’s just gonna suck.

If this is widely adopted, I have enough emulators and classic PC games to never buy another game in my life and still be entertained the whole time. Good luck, corpo dipshits.
- Comment on Why do video game skeletons put themselves back together? 1 month ago:
I was about to hazard a guess that it hearkens back to Ray Harryhausen, but I rewatched the skeleton fight from Jason and the Argonauts, and I’m astounded that they apparently didn’t do it there.

Imagine anon’s surprise when someone digs it up in 100 years and it turns out they accidentally drew dickbutt instead.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 2 months ago:
Lips and tongue are erogenous zones that you have fairly fine control over, and aside from feeling nice, pressing your face right up against someone else’s chompers is a sign of mutual vulnerability and trust.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I feel like after couple weeks observation, I could understand the 1100s or 1200s version well enough, but it probably helps that I have vague memories of high school German classes. Speaking it would take far longer.

- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 months ago:
All the major character replacements on MASH were better than the characters they replaced. It’s not that I don’t like Burns and Blake, but Winchester and Potter were just so much more interesting. Trapper John was kind of a rapey creep even for the time, so there’s no question BJ was the winner there. Honestly as much as I love Radar, even Klinger taking over his position was an improvement. There was only so much more they could do with his Beaver Cleaver Goes to War shtick.
