In short, there’s increasing hints that the “greater good” espoused by the Ethereals (i.e., the Tau’s mysterious leadership caste) may actually be a cover for a lot of mind control and eugenics.

You’ve got the important foundational elements. The other big event is the Horus Heresy, where about half of the Emperor’s sons fell to Chaos and started a huge civil war that left the Emperor in his current half-dead state, but the imperial bureaucracy keeps on chugging.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the world of Warhammer 40k has been evolving over decades of novels, tabletop games, and video games made by multiple authors. As a result, the canon is vast and occasionally self-contradictory.

If you want to know more, I highly recommend the Ciaphas Cain books (novels with a comedy streak) and a silly fan series called If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech device.

Thanks, I hate it. One more set of batteries, one more flaky wireless link to troubleshoot. Please take all those fancy electronics, and put them inside the phone where they belong.

Where do you plug in your headphones?

Who could have predicted that hanging ten conflicting kernel-level anti-cheat installations might cause compatibility problems?

That’s still $10k worth of graphics cards. How many of these do they expect to sell at that price?

This is brilliant. You want players to feel attached to this character? Let them customize a few things.

You’re confusing PEGI (the European games rating body) with ESRB (the American equivalent).

PEGI has ratings 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18, and it gave Balatro the highest rating of 18.

ESRB has ratings E, E10+, T, M, and A, and it gave Balatro the relatively low E10+ rating.

That’s weird, the watermark says, “I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”

It’s a matter of trust. This is just the latest in a long and increasing train of Microsoft abusing their market power. They have proven, time and again, that they cannot be trusted.

Anyone who tries to pull an “I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further” gets a lifetime boycott.

Never ever ever store passwords in the database. Salted hash only. It’s fixed length even if the password is a gigabyte long.

Meanwhile at Palworld HQ: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.

If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home.

Q, the guy from Star Trek?

“First couple of months”!? Doom Eternal was released March 2020.

Came here looking for Molydeux, was not disappointed.

(For those unaware, Peter Molydeux is Molyneux’s evil twin, but sometimes it’s really hard to tell the difference. It’s such a great parody account.)
