Alienmorph wrote:It's a thing from an year ago, or so, I think. There was some b.s. controversy, I honestly can't even remember what it was, to whom GW replied with your classic hollywoke-style respone, making a big statement about how "Warhammer is for everyone" and then immediately contracting itself IN the statement, by ending it with the equivalent of "and if you disagree, just leave. You won't be missed."

The response was... very bad. As you can imagine. Having seen what went on with companies like Wizards of the Coast when they started going down that route, people were very vocal, with youtuber Arch Warhammer (now only Arch, precisely because of this whole thing) organizing a massive mail campaign, that ended up literally clogging GW's servers for a couple days. The company never addressed the whole thing officially, but there never were other b.s. statements and things have been mostly good ever since, with the community NOT going full Twitter mob and not herassing the company with more and more demands either.

And then GW went full copyright natzee because of the whole Warhammer+ thing, which is arguably just as bad, and people this time around aren't even bothering to protest.


Ah, alright. I wonder why people aren't protesting. Shutting down Bruva with their unreasonable demands was a really shit thing to do and he was probably just the most high profile case out there.

Alien about covered it. Think it was something stupid about visual diversity in 40k, a setting which encompasses every possible form of mankind as well as mutations and subspecies in a horrid nightmare future. The principle was more being told to fuck off if I didn't fully support silly PR messaging, less so the message itself.

That said, Custodes + Sisters is the only thing that might bend my will, so we'll see.

About the hawk; the lady didn't say what type it was, but its right wing was most likely broken. She took it to a raptor facility that's actually about 10 miles from my house. So it should be fine.

Happy Halloween everyone.

Well, the main problem is that shitty thing or not, GW IS the owner of the Warhammer IPs, and also YouTube doesn't really look after indipendent creatoros these days, unless it's super-high profile ones with millions of subscribers. So there's a chance that going after GW because TTS has shut down (which was done prehentively, there were no "Cease and Desist" issued) could end up making matters worse for Bruva and for other smaller Warhammer fan creators.

Nothing too crazy on the new magic lores. Guess they're well settled into the current model, with some tweaks. All the lores are, more or less, usable in game now, so should always be worth having a caster in any army. Nurgles seems like it'll be extra effect tho, if "tanky + damage over time" is a thing, given a mass heal. Buffs are *nearly* always a waste of magic, unless you have elite infantry or a hero that needs a little extra juice. Summons are invariably amazing to break charges. Good stuff.

"See the art from Valve's canceled space pirate game that's going round the internet. In 2012, Valve's Gabe Newell mentioned a canceled game called Stars of Blood, saying only that, "We kind of had an internal project that was called Stars of Blood, which was a space pirate game and it never saw the light of day." Concept art by a couple of ex-Valve artists had previously leaked, and more was unearthed later—some from photos taken on tours of the studio. The fans at Valve Archive put together a repository of Stars of Blood art, where it's been sitting ever since.

Over the weekend, the Obscure Game Aesthetics Twitter account, which posts screenshots and artwork from old or forgotten videogames, posted four concepts for environments from Stars of Blood. It followed with a tech demo of swarm AI from one of the ex-Valve employees who worked on Stars of Blood, theorizing that this too might be from the canceled game. It's since been posted to r/LeaksAndRumors, r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, r/pcgaming, r/Games, r/GamePreservationists, and r/UnreleasedGames, as well as doing the rounds of various websites, forums, and social media.

The character designs are a bit Moebius (there's even one called mumbiusSM.jpg), and rumor had it that Stars of Blood would involve the Combine, and be part of the Half-Life universe. Not much else about it was known, but "Valve space pirate game" is all you really need to be intrigued. Now it's just another game that will never be, alongside the various Half-Life projects that were canceled before Alyx, Arkane's spin-off Ravenholm, Prospero, and all the rest."

TW3: Being able to position reinforcements is the best part of that update, not gonna lie. I've lost too many humiliating battles to getting the worst possible position. Kairos seems neat, but the playstyle implied for Tzeentch is really outside my wheelhouse. Need to be a micro monster.

Blizzard: It's honestly surprising that Ian still has a job at this point. Maybe he was squeaky clean on the office pervert front, but with the ship sinking, and him being a fairly shitty director for years, that he's _still there_ means something.

Kairos lord abilities are pretty shit, IMO. Hopefully he has some interesting faction buffs to balance that out.

As for Ion, he did good work on Legion, but since then it really has gone downhill. Anyway, I'm out of WoW and not coming back.

Also, here's a first look at the Liopleurodon from Frontier's Twitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7tq-XYH9bQ

Reminds more of the Tylosaur from the Telltale JP game, but... I can work with it.

I'll be totally honest, I probably won't be playing much of the Chaos factions in TW: WH2. I'm always more drawn to the "good" guys.

Lads, it's all ogre now.

Though given how the mercs play, I have to imagine they need screening chaff of gnoblars to actually perform. Bigger roster than Tzeentch by 25%. Monstrous infantry just doesn't earn its weight (ohoho) without a line behind it. However, ogres are proper Norf lads, and I will play their campaign no matter how gimped, with proper gusto and passion.

@Magnus: Depends on how common multi-army battles are. Lightning Strike is a 3 point talent to get the actual reinforcement lockout now, and if there's lots of battles with them, might be very strong.

I played Legion, and all but...MoP, I think, at launch, and it was pretty good, ultimately. The AP grind at first was miserable. But it was a highwater mark, for sure, in the face of Blizzard's impending decline.

Ah, I didn't know that. Well, I can't say I disagree with that decision, Lightning Strike pretty much always was the first thing I went for with my LL's, given that it was so easy to get and so good.

MoP was one of the best expansions, even if people were turned off by pandas. ^^ And, yeah, even with the grind Legion was the last hurrah, where they gave their all. After that, downward it all went.

Off the top of my head, other than Skarsnik who has it as a lord trait, I can't really think of any generals where I wouldn't take it. Maybe Imrik or some other 1 man army, or a LL with so many good options that the blue line isn't worth taking. Think there's some TW1 LL that have LS as the end of the blue tree, which is a hard sell. But yeah, reinforcements are rejiggered, they're on a timer, which can be delayed.

MoP was one of the best expansions, even if people were turned off by pandas. ^^ And, yeah, even with the grind Legion was the last hurrah, where they gave their all. After that, downward it all went.

I think launch Cata finally burned me out, because I played pretty hardcore (hours, not content) from Vanilla. Pretty sure I got MoP right as Timeless Isles came out, and it was a really good expansion, peak of class design. Utterly broken too, I'm pissed I missed Kil'Jaeden's Cunning as a _permanent passive_.

All the same. The comedy of what's to come will ease the pain, a little.
