  • This is the beginning of a Warhammer 40k quote, specifically one used in the trailer for 40k: Mechanicus. It is - big surprise - a quote from the Mechanicus, which is essentially the human Imperium’s cyborg tech support squad. The full quote is as follows:

    From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

    It has become a meme in both the 40k and the general transhumanist communities for reasons that are probably obvious.



  • Ok. How about where he admitted to sending Elon Musk up to Pennsylvania to rig the voting machines?

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-musk-vote-counting-computers/

    This article states “However, there is no evidence he was saying that his win in Pennsylvania was due to Musk’s purported knowledge of vote-counting computers” but there is largely no evidence only because nobody investigated it, and obviously Snopes can’t just accuse the president of a crime without legal backing.

    I’ll let his own quote speak for itself.

    [Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, and he’s a popular guy, and he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like, in a landslide, so it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon.





  • It might have something to do with the fact that you’re commenting directly on a hard-numbers report about pre-clinton Democrats.

    I get that you know exactly what I was talking about the entire fucking time and are only pretending that I was talking about pre-clinton democrats, but that’s because centrists are dishonest and take credit for the accomplishments of others.

    Way to make unfounded assumptions bud, I wish you could understand how wrong you were because I’d love to see your face about it. If you call me a centrist in person I’ll punch you in the mouth.

    Complain all you want but do try and have some basis in fact when you do, it helps the argument go better.


  • Alright fair point on the nitpick. I meant that less as an attack on Rimworld and more of an expression of respect to Dwarf Fortress. That’s where that load-bearing “but” came in to play. Point taken though. I have great respect for both games and the developers of them. I admit I am on Team Dwarf if we come to blows though, I played that one first and it is, to date, one of the most genuinely incredible pieces of software I’ve ever encountered.

    Absolutely no hate for Rimworld though. It’s a good game through and through.



  • Man I wish I could like Isaac like that. I’m not good at it at all. Every time I try to play the game it turns into an angry sweat fest as I take tons of stupid avoidable damage and don’t find any fucking keys for the third floor in a row

    I’ve watched a thousand hours of Northernlion and I could probably tell you every item in the game on sight but my sticky notes look like sad trash.

    Don’t even get me started on the challenges, I fear that list, but I want half those unlocks to get all my other unlocks.



  • I really don’t mean this as a dunk on Rimworld, but as is tradition with most things in Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress did it first. “FPS Death” was a common end condition for resilient forts. If natural dangers or greed didn’t kill you first, boredom would as your FPS crawled down into the single digits or, if you were really dedicated, this could become seconds per frame.

    Rimworld has kind of done it’s own thing now with the third or fourth DLC expansion but for a majority of its lifespan so far it could charitably be called a DF clone with a readable UI. Now DF has its own readable UI and Rimworld has cybernetics and psychic magic so they’ve sort of both become individual titans of their own genre.



  • 480p and 3 meter draw distance definitely was, I can tell you that much.

    I remember getting on PC and installing the Longer Draw Distance mod for the first time, and discovering that you could throw a rock farther than the distance between Seyda Neen and Pelagiad. The illusion of distance was only preserved by the close draw range and the fact that you walk at half the speed of smell at level one.
