Last post by W8taminute - April 22, 2024, 03:38:34 PMI agree that life is too short to get upset about dumb stuff like this however...
Notice how clever they are to immediately de-humanize the complainers before they even get a chance to complain by calling them neckbeards. A tactic that genocidal maniacs use when it comes to making the target seem less than human so that it makes it easier to wipe out, or in this case ridicule. Same tactics.
By playing this off and saying "it's no big deal" gives these oppressors a green light to continue this sort of tactic. Look at what they called SW fans who criticized Disney Star Wars. They called them "man babies" in an attempt to tell the rest of the uneducated masses oh look at the poor cry babies who don't like our version of Star Wars.
They can all go fornicate under consent of king themselves.
If we don't resist this or at least call out evil when we see it it will only continue to get worse and worse.

Last post by al_infierno - April 22, 2024, 12:16:10 PMI don't get what the big deal is. GW rewrites 40K lore all the time. They completely rewrote Necron lore, so why does it matter if they update one of the factions to have women or whatever?
As for the article, seems like your typical "journalist" looking to rile people up. Life is too short to get angry about dumb stuff like this.

Last post by Jarhead0331 - April 22, 2024, 09:23:30 AMI think there is a place for diversity that fits neatly within the existing lore. For instance, the Salamanders are black. The White Scars are Asian/Mongolian. The Adepta Sororitas are all, of course, women. Many agents within the Officio Assassinorum and Inquisition are women, as are many sanctioned psykers, Rogue Traders and navigators. This works with the lore without feeling forced or imposed. Once they start changing lore to benefit notions of diversity and inclusion is where you piss people off (no, not just the "neckbeards") and start diluting the lore that is organic and "believable" and that has been developed over many decades at this point. It seems totally unnecessary and forced.
Bad for the entire IP in my view.

Last post by Gusington - April 22, 2024, 09:17:14 AMFor the record I do not have a neckbeard. But I do love me some 40k. Maybe on a more casual level, but I still do love it.

Computer Gaming / 40k Custodes - Who here has a ...
Last post by Destraex - April 22, 2024, 03:40:20 AMThis kind of affects 40k computer games (the article is a pcgamer one) as well as tabletop and any Cavill movies or shows amazon may have in the works. It seems that anybody who likes rules based orders and status quo is fair game to have their character stereotyped and assasinated. I could not believe the title of this article.
Repressive tolerance seems to be the name of the game.

Computer Gaming / Re: Campaign Series Vietnam
Last post by Jason Petho - April 21, 2024, 04:59:22 PMWe did something a little different today. I have a series of Tet related scenarios that deal with Hue from David Galster. We started up the first in the list, but this time I played Hot Seat against myself. These haven't been scripted yet, so it is an interesting way to test to understand how the unit capabilities and tactical capabilities are in the game. What do you think of this style of play through?

Last post by rss334 - April 21, 2024, 10:35:14 AMI remember playing about 40 hours it years ago but never really finished the game or seen all it had to offer, but it was fun. I'm sure on release I'll pick it up and play it some more - agree with the guys above it was one of the few EA games I played and that felt like a complete game and that was at least 2 years ago.
