To preface I am curious about this for two reasons.

  1. GW hasn't given him his own sprue for TT. Now whilst that isn't a death sentence it does make me wonder if he's either getting a refresh for 11th or this is a sign he's getting Legend'd in 12th.

  2. Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has been teasing a new class for some time and one of the fan favorite suggestions has been the Judiciar.

Now my question with both is? Has he been pushed at all recently? I've seen no artwork of him. To my knowledge a Judiciar has only appeared in the Hammer and Bolter episode 'Eternal' and in the novel Indomitus by Gav Thorpe. Other than that it's been zilch.

It's a popular enough model because of fight fir

Blue Eye Samurai was honestly pretty good, I finally got around to watching it. I have issues with it for sure and could go in detail about it but imo it was good. I do feel the way it portrays Colonialism gets a little weird sometimes because of the historical context of what is going on but I digress. THe obsession with the concept of "whiteness" as evil that Fowler, an actual white man espouses but I feel I am ill-equipped to get into. But the guns? I feel I can.

So, this show appears to be a severe historical divergence from Japan of the 1600s. We are in the period of Sakoku, the Japanese period of Isolationism that stretched from the beginning early into the Edo period in from around 1

Favorite puppet nations? (GFM)

Historical Flavor Mod

I was doing a Russia playthrough in GFM and have got to say, Finnish-led Scandinavia is worth the infamy and the hellish amount of microing I had to do to keep all the relevant states in my sphere.

Not only do they thankfully generally never leave secondary power, and ergo stop being my Puppet state, but despite all that the massive literacy they have plus the GFM built in feature of puppets researvhing Overlord tech twice as fast means these dudes catch up really quick. Well....when Russia actually starts to get literate.

Otherwise I loved taking these guys on Wars. Not only did they always show up with elite troops way ahead of my own troops technologically till like the 1870s but their

Disclaimer: Yada yada, not ethically endorsing the legion. Freedom 100. Let's get into this because frankly this topic remains toxic these days. This isn't an attempt to extoll Caesar's values, just the facts on the ground militarily.And fact is, the NCR was going to lose hard at the Second Battle of Hoover Dam if the PC doesn't help 'em out.

So, having seen some of the leaked pictures from Season 2 of the Fallout TV show we are going to see New Vegas in some detail. Judging by what the show seems to have done to the NCR, I'd bet dollars to donuts the Legion will be in a similar state of being fucking gone. Let's hope it's a reasonable thing, like they did split into warlords when Sallow ki

Anyone who has not played ACVI is missing out, this game is superb. Not just as a mech game, but a game in general. Probably one of the best games Fromsoft has put out, and because I am a Fromsoft Contrarian I'd rate it above Elden Ring and it's for sure brushing shoulders with Sekiro which until I played this game was my pick for the best game Fromsoft had ever made, that I'd played. There will be spoilers, but hey worst case maybe this read will make you play the game, in which case my agenda to spread Armored Core VI love will succeed.

Fromsoft games have a reputation, basically the traditional souls-like ones, of having a very hands-free approach to storytelling. The hallmarks of Fr

So one thing I never got so far in the game is whever Ayre was native coral or not. Now I know she is a C-pulse mutation, and that has the own things to get into. But here's what I see so far for and against her being originally human.

For:

  • See is extremely attached to the concept of being Rubiconian, she brings it up a lot and has a lot of sympathy with the RLF.
  • She mentions the first time she meetsa you that you need to get out of the coral flow or your conscious will be subsumed into it, seeming to suggest she's seen this before perhaps experienced it.
  • In the Missile Launch mission she compares the missiles to being like fireworks, suggesting she's seen them before.

So I am the product of a bootcamp, and have been doing Software Engineering for a while. I should be grateful, I am not amazingly paid, I didn't get into FAANG obviously, but I am decently compensated and I got a job in a rather competitive market all things considered and I've kept my job through layoffs. I meet my deliverables, my manager thinks I do well etc. But I can help but feel classic impostor syndrome, except I think there's a case to be made for me being an impostor because of the nature of me being a bootcamp graduate.

My bootcamp did prepare me decently, to its credit. I was taught a lot of theory all things considered, they didn't just tell me to download VS code and then typ

What's your verdict. I frankly spent ages of Investigate Baws Arsenal, thr timing seems outrageous.

Honorable mention would be Destroy Transport Helicopters, I had to look online and find out how to skip dialogue, and Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship.

Surprisingly hard bosses are very lenient with S-Ranks, whilst missions that are trivial tend to be some od the most demanding.

I have been playing Lies of P(eak) a lot recently, DLC is supposedly due by Q1 of this year but with no trailer I'm unsure as to whether or not we'll see it this early or not. I'm hopeful, but not certain. So here's hoping. Neowiz, the company behind it, basically had no prior experience with these kind of games and probably put out a soulslike I'd rate very highly. Call me Blasphemous, but I'd play this over many of From's own games. But that could be recency bias.

So serious spoilers for anyone who hasn't played from here on out. If you want a spoiler free experience of this boss I'd recommend it heavvily. This is a great game, and the story builds up to it so well. But hey good chance yo

Just curious, I have a feeling this is gonna be the DLC entrance but can't be sure. I've seen nothing online really bur my google-fu sucks when it comes to this.

In the Path of the Pilgrim you find an old Stargazer beside some gravestones where you find the Smiling Bunny Mark. You can interact with it, but nothing happens. Does anyone know what this does? Or is it as I thought, possible the DLC entrance for when it comes out?

I just finished the game there after beating the final boss that you get after making the ending decision.

I ended the game at level 75. I feel weirdly like I did a lot of stuff and quests but was starved for levels in this game. I'm curious, what was the average you found the game ended for you at?

Short rant here, but seriously. What the fuck happened? I get it I get it. Years ago, beofre some people browsing reddit were born, the Nippon steel folded 1000 times meme was strong. People were talking about katanas cutting through gun barrels in WW2. I get it. But that wank is fucking over.And the counterjerk is here and much fucking stronger. And for the record whilst I'm talking Samurai I am gonna be pretty general and it's more Japanese military history. And also I'm lazy so I'm talking mostly about the Sengoku era.

Checking my post history you can totally see why I'm saying this, but honestly what the fuck? I'm going to list claims I've seen today about Samurai. Ready? Because I fuc

I'm an invasion veteran imo, doesn't mean I'm any good but I've been doing this for a long time across the souls games. Every souls game has had hosts who don't level their health to the degree it should be leveled. But for some reason Vigor is criminally underleveled in ER.

I've seen it in invasions. I've seen it in Co-op. And the thing is it's become a circlejerk to just level vigor and it still doesn't seem to change much.

I've been invading at RL60 and RL90 recently and a shocking amount of hosts and their phantoms are running sub 1000hp.

I can't understand why myself because the game viciously punishes you for low vigor. Not just via invaders, you'll see mobs hit players for half or
