Yep when I first joined I thought it stood for main Instance.

Huh so that’s what the original looks like.

Wait your signature is supposed to just be your name in cursive? But then wouldn’t that defeat the point? I thought in the olden days it was supposed to be like a proof that you were the right person since you knew how your signature was written.

Anyways, for my signature I just kinda designed it. It was ages ago so I forgot my process, but it was deliberate and I remember making a whole bunch of sketches before finding one I liked. And since then I’ve incrementally improved it.

That seems very precarious to me, I’d be constantly worried about nudging it and dropping the cups.

I’ve never watched Blade Runner, only this scene, but this scene is incredible. And this quote gives a really strong impression of a much larger world.

For 40k, I actually feel like “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates open and unbarred” is a cooler, if less iconic quote. It just conveys the ridiculous dystopia of the Imperium so well and so quickly.

But yeah gotta love the classic BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! YOUR CORPSE-EMPEROR WILL NOT SAVE YOU!

Yep, I got that mixed up, thanks.

TIL not everyone uses a duvet (also TIL that that thing’s called a duvet). That’s really surprising to me, so some people just use the blanket directly? What do you do when it gets dirty, they’re really hard to wash?

I thought this was going to be some math thing, turned out to be so much more straightforward.

That is some surprisingly good VFX for a meme. I wonder if the background is fully CGI or if they recreated it and cut.

Oh dear god-emperor that is bad. But also kinda makes sense for the situation? Measuring time in year-fractions instead of date would make a lot more sense on any planet other than Earth, and using local days would make things far too messy.

While this is funny, I’m pretty sure it isn’t real (or it was intentionally written poorly)- It doesn’t make any sense in Chinese either, and most people in Hong Kong know English at least somewhat.

Nope, smoothbore muskets were/are much more accurate than most people think, here’s a video of someone shooting at targets with one, and they were able to hit a man-sized target out to 150m. By modern standards it isn’t great but definitely not “flying all kinds of directions”.

The Youtuber Brandon F has a 4 part series talking about why they fought like this. Spoiler- it wasn’t because they were stupid.

Part 1

TLDR- if you split up you just get run down by enemy cavalry.

Part 2

TLDR- a close formation lets you concentrate your firepower at one point.

Part 3

TLDR- a close formation makes communication and controlling the army much much easier (or even possible at all).

Part 4

TLDR- the formation makes the troops less likely to run away.

My project has been retconned so much I don’t think it can even be considered the same world anymore, however here’s some of the most major changes:

-The entire genere changed from steampunk to fantasy then to post-apocalyptic.

-The country I initially focused on was completely removed, along with the entire continent.

-Planet turned into a large moon orbiting a gas giant.

Cool, how stable is it?
