also it's too dark to the point of cartoonishness. Like my sgt is a soul consuming wretched creature of infinite power! But it turns out every side has like a million beings with infinite power so uh
I am looking for either affirmation or discouragement on this risky scary plan.
i think you should do it
you are young enough to rebound if it doesn't work out
you have no real external obligations or responsibilities
and you will hate yourself for the rest of your life if you don't at least give it a try
i did it when i was your age and have never regretted it once
even though it was fuckin terrifying
I have to admit, I'm surprised to hear this from you, but knowing you yourself did it helps a lot.
I might call my friends in Redmond and let them know what I'm thinking about, see how they'd feel about letting their loser friend who bailed on them twice live on their couch for a couple weeks.

They're young idealists in the grim dark future, their technology is awesome despite their youth and they understand how it works unlike the dumb Imperium who worship their technology like a bunch of hicks.
man just wait until the tau learn that all the good technology jobs have been taken by the space marines

It's better if you take it with the tongue-in-cheek zaniness it was originally designed with
Does the fact that I am no longer ginger make a difference to me having a soul? Like, have I grown a soul now, or because I was born without one can I never get one no matter what colour my hair naturally turns?

the 40k universe sort of annoys me. I'm not really sure why
Because it's super grim and dark and depressing and maybe that's just not your cup of tea? Its more vocal fans can be pretty annoying too.
I like dark, don't get me wrong.
I think the athestics bug me, just people in huge clunky ugly suits with lolchainsawswords. Also there are so many races that are all perfect killing machines?
that the orkz misspell everything is pretty annoying too
Not all the races are perfect killing machines.
The whole thing about the Imperial guard is that they just pour manpower into a theatre until they win by attrition, even though they'll die in their hundreds of thousands. The basic Eldar troop type is conscripted citizens. Tau are awful as a military race, they just happen to have technology on their side.
I remember back when there was an army list entry for Imperial Guard suicide bombers.

Only gingers have souls. This is why everyone else hates them.

WH40K fluff seems highly unbalanced. The tyranids supposedly have swarms that stretch as long as a galaxy if I was informed correctly.
And then there are the necrons that never die and are almost indestructible.

when i was living in DC and unemployed, i used to go down to union station and either hang out with the homeless dudes, or else chat up the clerks in the thomas kinkaide store. most of them were art students or grads, and they all thought thomas kinkaide was the fucking worst, but they worked on commission and had the right jargon to sell that shit to middle-aged white suburbanites.
they told me that some people would buy a giant kinkaide print (complete with hand-ouched details, natch) and basically design their tract mansion around the fucker

See... Squats kind of filled this niche in their hairy, drunken, angry, little way prior to being retconned out of existence because they were too goofy.
Actually... I think I like older 40k stuff in general better than the newer stuff I've seen, just because it had a lot of goofy crap in it. 40k has gotten steadily less interesting to me over the years as they've gotten rid of that stuff.
I've never read any of the novels or anything. Just fluff out of old rulebooks.

The guards series are pretty much the greatest books ever written.
Night Watch, Guards! Guards!, Going Postal, Equal Rites, and Monstrous Regiment are my top favorites. I rather like Lords and Ladies and Thief of Time as well.

Opinions man. I am just not a big fan of them.

I saw the tv show before, because it had drawings that moved and they were pretty. But that was a long time ago and I do not remember much.

maybe try deleting the preferences file
in your home directory there will be some files in Library/Preferences named com.apple.itunes.*
just put them in the trash and try again
You should read them, they're really funny.

I was thinking about it last year, but I read another book instead. Maybe next time I hunt for books I'll remember.

You may be thinking in scales that are too small. The whole point is that it's a conflict that spans galaxies.
The universe is plenty big enough for all kinds of stuff to be happening at once.
