Kinda blinking a lot there.

I do like that just prior to the pandemic there was massive reform where I live so much so many landlords sold their "investment properties" because being legally required to have doors that locked was too much of a burden.

It had worked for a long time but as an example, in the recent Australian federal election Murdoch went hard but the LNP (the GOP equivalent) not only lost their government but lost in a massive landslide.

Tldr make sure you vote while you still can.

At least some the weirdo cult religions died off after a generation because they didn't have sex even for procreation.

Klanners have plenty of cousins to fuck.

"President Donald Trump, convicted of rape, seemed confused when speaking.."

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

Same, queer or ally. Most GW fans aren't shitheads. Part of the rhetoric of these keyboard warriors is they act if GW depends on them. GW doesn't care about them. Appealing to queers or even just cis women means more people to sell toy soldiers to.

I work in a large office building and there's a cough getting around some people are wearing masks.

Also a lot of people would wear masks long before the pandemic. They're hardly a new thing.

Trump should always be referred as "convicted felon Donald Trump.." since he is.

It might not achieve much, but knows, it's a fact.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

Dementia will do that.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

That's a repeated pattern with these YouTube blowhards. They act as if they own the game. GW owns the game and gets to make up whatever shit they want.

(Also it's built into the game to make up your own fluff)

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

So unconvincing they stopped bothering with it only a few days later.

There's been co-ed Aeldari kits for decades regardless. That's kinda a part of the appeal.

Also as a gay Aeldari player, it is amusing to see a rage grift tourist pretend to be upset since yeah dude, we know.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

It's probably the only example we've seen of a specifically gendered Path, since I don't think that really bothers the Aeldari. It does invite the idea of other Paths that gendered roles though.

Romans are known for being somewhat keen on killing early Christians.

There was a confected outrage over the most recent Dragon Age having trans options and someone announcing he was going to mod them out. I suggested you could just roll a cis character but no, the option even existing was too much.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

People always assume it's wild group sex but there's other ways to be hedonistic. They could have been really into property development.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 16h

That would require a return to the original Custodes design.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah but it's still a male body inside the armour, but she's female when wearing it.

Also on that I remember it used to be a thing that if an Aspect Warrior isn't in full armour they're basically a Guardian, so AWs without helmets annoys me.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

See also my idea that Shohreh Aghdashloo should play Eldrad Ulthran.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

*female but you know what I meant. Anyway it wasn't a big deal and there even a fluff line about Howling Banshees skew female but not all of them are.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

Timid virgins need to get over Slaanesh and more consider Tzeentch, the god of change, who's colours are pink and blue.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

Popular actors/directors Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi do a well received show about queer pirates.

SPACE ELF PIRATES ARE GAY?!

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

I remember when the first plastic Banshee kit had one torso with no breasts since not all Howling Banshees have male bodies.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

The mind boggles but in a fun way.

William @whirringsoftly.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, but it might vary.
