@HappylilElf Is there any way to tell the relative danger of a given star/planet you can travel to, or the quality of the items/mechs there if it's an industrial zone and not a conflict zone?
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
Holy shit. This diner scene in “Tick Tick Boom” on Netflix is catnip for theater kids. Bernadette, Chita, Andre, the Schuyler sisters themselves, and my favorite, fucking Brian Stokes Mitchell. It’s amazing. I kept recognizing more and more faces as the scene played on.
EDIT: And the actor that they got to play Sondheim has his mannerisms down pat. It was quite uncanny.
Ill-formed opinion that I have that I will not explain: people don’t like the Tau because they aren’t camp.
they could be depicted pretty camp in a "awful mecha anime tropes" way, but I suspect it's more a matter of their late arrival
there does seem to be drift toward a 'harder' scifi aesthetic as the audience of w40k becomes less attuned to 1980s British pop culture... fewer Gretchin Revolutionary Committee and obviously Japanese-Gaelic Aeldari pastiches (e.g.) to underpin a sillier interpretation of the fluff

@SummaryJudgment Yeah, it's the recommended reputation level which you can see on the starmap.
he keeps saying something that sounds like dillard.
Hah yeah I am obsessed with this band Krovostok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krovostok
they have a completely bizarre flat delivery and their lyrics are both pretty elevated in terms of their references and generally quite vulgar and violent
why does my spotify name appear as a string of numbers?

I should also clarify my Russian is usually only like 30% up to the task of parsing it by ear alone and I certainly look up and translate the lyrics

It's wild to go back and look at the rogue trader era stuff now
Space marines as corrupt judge dredd types, shaking down hive punks
An imperial inquisitor named Obi wan Sherlock Clouseau

that's the adeptus arbites you're thinking of rather than the space marines
The rogue trader era marines do not really resemble the current marines. Like the first scenario involves a group of marines against a group of orcs with the objective of looting a farm.

dang and here I thought the adeptus arbites was already something old and mostly forgotten but apparently that's just a strata above the actual ancient shit
everyone knows the space marines are stupid anyway and that the imperial guard is where it's at
it's also where the wikia articles are less likely to be so fucking stupid as wiki articles get when they include what single characters did in like, the history of a planet or whatever

I thought Tau was like one of their better non-Space Marine sellers

Inside scoop: I was using it in exactly that context and for that reason.
This is very meta, but for a while I thought that trying to make fetch happens was itself on fleek.

It would fit thematically: eventually we discover FTL via the Warp and somehow that makes things worse.
