while they are not wrong, the practice of consuming Corpse Starch in 40k has been VASTLY overinflated. no planetary population, not even Necromunda (whos the most popular source of information on the foodstuff) PRIORITIZES it as their main source of calories. its basically an emergency ration and the only reason its MORE abundant in Necromunda is welll...its Necromunda. a lot of people die there. if you dont clean that up you get problems and hive cities have a hard idea of really "wasting" anything. so recycling the bodies is healthy for the hive, and your wallet technically (dont have to buy offworld food if recycle day is tomorrow) as a matter of fact, CORPSE starch in it's most "abundant" form isnt even entirely made from bodies, let alone human ones. the most common ration is known as Soylens Viridians, a vatgrown foodstuff that uses green algae as the main ingredient. EMPHASIS ON MAIN (some of the "corpse" in this case is also just any dead biomatter that was collected for recycling basically. so plants are on the table! again "waste not") Soylens is actually the staple ration source for many Imperial Guard Regiments too we even see Cain comment on its taste (or lack of one). heck alot of AdMech in The Damoclese Gulf favor it, considering it a FAR more efficient source of nutrients...which considering THEM for a second...yeah they may be right in a weird way... on top of that you are forgetting the two actual big stable foods of The Imperium; the Grox, basically a giant, semi-aggressive reptillian cow (this is also where you get a lot of leather btw, not human skin only the WEIRD do that) ...and corn. no im dead fuckin serious CORN is the main grain crop of The Imperium, because it's not JUST grain. nor a GREAT GRAIN it makes medical-ethanol and biofuel AND YOU CAN ALREADY KNOW WHAT THOSE CAN BE USED FOR. AND GEE ANYTHING THAT MAKES MEDICAL ETHANOL CAN MAKE A REGULAR ALCAHOL SURELY SO THERES YA AMASEC! yes, The Imperium Citizen on the occasion may find themself having to eat "corpse starch", but again its not often, its not always "people", and at the end of the day.... it's better than starving or being dead.

you gotta love the little bird because this is the aviation equivalent of putting a 155mm howitzer on a mazda miata

@ShitpostRock2 There's something to be said for that in the anger vein. Democracy provides an anger relief valve, so every 4-8 years, the citizens can elect a new idiot, and have a new focus for their anger. You don't get that in a dictatorship or monarchy.

I think there’s a strong argument to be made that dictatorships are often better at executing long-term strategic plans, since they can maintain political continuity over decades In democracies, long-term policy is harder to sustain because leadership changes frequently, priorities shift with election cycles and politicians are incentivized to focus on short-term results rather than long term prosperity

My head canon is the Death Star weapon system was still in ‘Silicon Valley minimum viable product’ state - they could make it work for the investor demo but they literally had engineers hand tweaking things from the consoles in the depths of the machine to make it work.

@ShitpostRock2 IRL if James Bond was sent to infiltrate a conspiracy of right wing white men trying to overthrow the UK, he'd just join them & be one of their leaders. Then he'd coup the UK by seducing the lesbian woman PM.

@coah80 Hamachi was one of those programs that either worked spectacularly, or failed miserably. There was no inbetween.

Hamachi was genuinely terrible nobody should ever defend this stupid software

@VimmsLair Huh, good timing, just got a ROG Tessen, and this works on Android. Downloading now.

Dusk is finally out - it's a native PC (and Linux, Mac, iOS, Android) reimplementation of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. You get higher resolutions, smoother framerates, and a bunch of quality of life options (my favorite being gyro aim, very needed.) You can play it pretty close to the original or with modern tweaks, whatever you prefer. You will however need a dump of Twilight Princess to be able to play, whatever you do, don't check the link in my bio... Everyone go follow @StormslayerDev so we can get Link's Crossbow Training next! :) twilitrealm.dev

@EGX001S They cared enough to force r34 to make a word filter for Pokemon, at least.

This implies Nintendo cares about the amount of porn their franchises have.

Happy Mother's Day! 💜

@MK_Foxbat Downloading the demo now.

People cannot stop giving this free adverting. Even furries who don't know what a videogame is

This little fella right here is called The Hooded Pitohui and is known as the most toxic bird on the planet. When René Lesson discovered one of these guys he discovered after touching the feathers his arm got tingly, went numb, and then proceeded to feel like it was on fire. It turns out these guys eat a beetle that produces a neuro toxin that then gets secreted all over their body.

Went mining for gold but found gems

Imagine having this guy as your serf. I would have him impregnate all of the women in my manor in some kind of medieval eugenics program.

@RohanKarMooN I own a bunch of the games you've repacked, but I prefer using your repacks on my Deck so I don't need to worry about internet access.

So one of the games I've repacked R.U.S.E. is finally relisted on steam. Even though my repack will stay online for archival purposes, I will recommend y'all everyone to buy it from steam as it is officially supported by the developer and is verified on steam deck.

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M." Government: "Totally reasonable." You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival." Government: "You owe taxes on $60K." You: "That's not—" Government: "File by May 15."

@MirceaOfRivia Huh, you got a follow, hoping the see where this goes.

Working on some random things.
