Mark Rosewater of Magic the Gathering fame makes a great point: the players play your game under the assumption that the game will be fun. If it's not, they will blame the game designer.
As a GM, one of your hats is game designer, so you have to own up to this.

An important facet of 40k is that the Imperium is such a hellhole it actively drives people to Chaos. This has been barely-subtext for decades and Guilliman says it outright to Dante.
That context doesn't hold up for Trench Crusade afaik. Why would Aachen's peasants or nobles sell their souls?

hundreds of thousands of people will try to kill you for the radical belief of "you should be able to eat well, get creative with your body, and enjoy life"

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

I'm just saying, you don't see anybody getting double lightning bolt tattoos to commemorate working at the social security office.

"oh I didn't think this'd be an issue I'll get it removed next month or something" Bro? You are 41 years old? You've had this for 20 years? What are we doing

The thing that gets me about the tattoo is like, this gets exponentially worse every year he didn't get it covered or removed.
"I got it covered up in Italy six months after I got it" not great but you were a 19yo boot, ok
"I got it lasered after a few years" bad and speaks poorly about your unit

You can see this in action in Utah and it's funny. White Salt Lake City Mormons will happily get curry fried chicken or go to spicy SE Asian restaurants. Drive-thru burrito joints every few blocks.
As soon as you get to the racism suburbs it all falls apart. Just miles of American and Italian.

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.
