honestly, I haven’t read any WH books since the 90s. Most of what I know recently is from my friends who are really into it.

here is a YT channel with a bunch of lore playlists, and isn’t a right wing weirdo

The old ones are who created the eldar, not literal gods, but a race that was so powerful they wielded cosmic power. They disappeared 10s of millions of year ago, and you can still see how deeply their bio-engineered structure is still influencing their creations. However, in their absence, the eldar have replaced them with new gods, and had to adapt to how the galaxy is post war in heaven. The Orks are a fungus, that was created as a bio-weapon race by the Old ones. The war in heaven, which was old ones vs C’tan, cause the psychic/spirit/whatever aspect of the universe to be corrupted into the warp. That taint is what caused most of these splinter groups. However the whole structure of things is based of lineage, everything important is the result of, and/or practices eugenics of some sort. You can even see it in the structure like how Hive cities are organized. Just because there are splinter groups doesn’t mean this stuff isn’t that. If anything it leans into it because the biggest reason things splinter from the groups largely have to do with warp influence, which is what real groups, like the nazis, would call degeneracy. Also, if you look at groups like Nazis there was always infighting, fractional groups, internal rebels, etc. The existence of things resisting the system doesn’t mean that isn’t what the system is, and that it isn’t the preeminent concept at the foundation of everything.

I mean, the space marines are genetically engineered soldiers who are locked into their roles they inherited from the primearch who’s genetic ancestry they are from, all of which were crafted based on the genetically superior being of the emperor. The eldar and orcs are literally bio-engineered weapons weapons of a race that were basically gods. The Tau have a lot of layers racial hierarchy, bio-engineering, and similar levels of eugenics stuff going on. The tyranids basically just consumer biomass to filter for genes that can benefit their race and incorporate the new genetic data. I mean, unless you didn’t pay any attention to the game lore, I really don’t know how you missed all this. Like, this is the core of the game lore.

Beyond that GW have straight said that each faction is a caricature of some form of extreme ideology. The imperium are basically theocratic space nazis, the orcs are pretty much how the classical empires, or something like that imperium, see less developed human groups, the barbaric hordes. Etc.

Yeah, I remember reading something, like 20ish years ago, about a woman from a wealthy family in NYC, that is a wildly paranoid adult, because her mom basically paid everyone to be her friend, planned, and paid for, their social events, and did so until she found out in her mid 20s. It wasn’t even because she was unpopular and lonely. This started when she was a toddler. Her mom just wanted complete control of everyone she interacted with, and what they did, as much as she possibly could. When she found out she just mentally imploded.

self deprecating humor is supposed garner laughs by exposing relatable vulnerabilities that people can laugh about. It is not supposed to actually make you a loser everyone is just laughing at.

It has been a long time since most of those places have been cold enough, long enough, to have a lake become that solidly frozen. It has been 30+ years since I have seen this happen in the mid atlantic.

That is the lesson their investment board learned. It caused strife in the company because of the divide it showcased between those who made the company, and those who own it.

A launch that taught companies they can in fact release unfinished games and still outsell everything they have previously done

this is a nitpick, but Trump actually closely lost the popular vote once all sources were fully accounted for.

I can make it easy, there are no good guys

Yes, but didn’t you know, it doesn’t matter the kinds of atrocities they are responsible for, if they don’t like the US they are the good guys.

Edit: I’m not a girl, just a rust dev

then you likely need to wash them now, like right now

Yeah, if they want to claim digital piracy is theft, then them doing this stuff is just as they described

Hermes the giant killer?

Just make a hovering AWACS that can hold U2 elevation. Then the gunship could hit targets across the pacific.
