That is already the premise (and main issue, imo) of the meta headsets though, the fact they're all functionally consoles at the same time as headsets is why they're so expensive, no one really makes dedicated PCVR headsets anymore

The issue here is 40k is a "setting" instead of a story. It keeps being treated as a setting, as Wiki Fodder, kind of. Instead of as a story like the ASOIAF books

oh i know, i've used Mint before, for years, but the reason it's much more performant tends to be that so many little quality of life things that run in the background in windows just aren't there in linux

"linux is just more convenient for everything now, no bloatware* slowing down your PC"

*the person in question uses "bloatware" to refer to the hundred different programs you use that do convenient UX things or make your gaming hardware function properly

Every little part of the story shows that active struggle is required to make your future your own rather than perpetuate the cycle of imperialist history

And even then, when their history finally catches up with them and they cannot reject it any longer, it destroys them, their path of peaceful non-expansionist living is obliterated by the Halo test firing, which is pointed towards the Magellanic Cloud undoubtedly to erase any trace of them

The only ones presented as kinda free in the entire trilogy were the Magellanic Cloud Forerunners who had forsaken the technology they used for war and had *physically* isolated themselves from history and memory, storing in such a way that it would interact with them as little as possible

Just as Chakas, Riser, and Vinnevra struggle to fight the "guidance" of both the Primordial and the Lifeworkers, the Iso Didact struggles with the Didact's instincts implanted on him, and the Forerunner ecumene struggles with both the guidance of their own history and of "The Mantle"

Did we read the same version of Primordium? All the humans in that story struggle greatly with fighting the Geas implanted by the Librarian, and the entire trilogy deals with the tyranny of the past on different scales

If the DPS is in chastity and the Tank's a cuckold, who the hell is fucking the Healslut

The Ruitool nippers are top notch you just know these girls are putting together real good Chinapla

This is why Naruto was best enjoyed with a finger on the "Skip 10 seconds" key, tapped that thing a few dozen times per episode

- the despair and frustration at her body, the way she pulls herself together even as her body all but falls apart... Fuck it hits, and I'm only mildly physically disabled, but there's days when I don't have my ADHD meds and I feel that shit in my soul, The Cold Forge changed me ngl

There's a point halfway through that book in which she is shut off from her android body (which she shares with the android in question, rlly cool dynamic) and she realizes she's stuck in an alien infested station, alone in a body that can't get out of bed without help, and she has to fight through-

Alien: The Cold Forge did it fucking amazingly with an android serving as functionally a full body prosthetic, having the protagonist switch between being superhuman and being in the last stages of a degenerative genetic disorder... God it was good
