Deep, dryhumpin, gasp-and-pant-between-liplocks tongue session.

Mmmmyep.

EvE is probably not a fair comparison, cus you can have it on in the background passively for a lot of stuff you'd be doing

Not including MMOs like EvE and WoW?

- Project Zomboid
- Dark Souls 1 (if you include all the versions)
- Mechwarrior 5 (Between both my PC and PS5)

The difference between periphery pirates and periphery state militaries is usually just a good PR team and a willingness to follow a chain of command

And even then I usually follow up with pointing out *that* is a surface level summary and doesn't really do the nuance justice. Their "nobility" system is FASCINATING, and I think people forget JUST HOW severe the systemic misandry can be

I like to tell people, as a bit of a meme on its own, "The best part of the magistracy of canopus is that the nation is largely like 1970's Vegas :D

The worst part about the magistracy.. is that includes the corruption, crime, and mob influence on a national scale"

Oh dear lord.

The only faction that I can say even really comes close to that description is the Aurigan Reach, and thats because they were explicitly created to be a less morally complex faction JUST for hbsbt

And even then, if you read the later literature, it's not quite that cut and dry

Im not going to say anything bad about tex or his videos. I adore them and they're a good way to INTRODUCE someone to the setting if they struggle with more academics and less theatrics

But people GOTTA stop treating him like he's the final stop on lore. Hes edutainment, not strictly informational

As a streamer whose lore IS that im one of those heavily augmented canopian gals? If im not in character, im CONSTANTLY trying to remind people that while I love the magistracy its just as flawed as any other nation.

When faction choice is "picking your poison" you gotta remember it's still poison

Or worse, coloring discussions of tangentially related things.

I.e. People automatically and instantly siding with whoever the CCAF is fighting because "capellans bad" despite the fact that theres so much nuance to them and they genuinely are frequently the victims.

I get really frustrated when the memes, which *can* be funny, become so over used that they are treated as in universe truths.

The capellan hate is an obvious one, but the urbie supremacy is another. Both of those have gotten to the point of hindering actual discussion of the subjects.

>mech looks super cool, with aggressive and militant lines and a great chassis silhouette
>mech is terribly laid out and barely functional on table

Either way, looks incredible. I love the way you did the snow, extremely dynamic. You're a phenomenally talented painter.

My sleep deprived brain is blanking, what's the first image? The one with the nose gun and the ppc (?) arm pods

NGL the lil panda seasoning shaker looks like it would be the most fire album cover of 2026

My top lane picks are Warwick (that lifestyle is GREAT for baiting), Yorick, Mordekaiser, Tahm, and Cho.

I love my bruisers.

Here's that PSA that the President wants to punish by death

"Meddling fuck" indeed, hole ♡
