@LukaszWitek1 @NornQueenKya It was never true, even back in 87 when 40k Rogue Trader first came out.
English
@NornQueenKya In the dark ages before warhammer was redirected to 13+ audience it would be true that lore was first and minis second. Now one drives the other. Said that I'm leaving this universe I have found out where the old vets from GW went and I'm going to play their miniature game :P
English
I mean,
You can just google if nothing else
Love the lore. But the lore doesnt keep the lights on for almost 600 stores, their distribution chain and hilariously expensive factory/warehouses.
Seems like silly overhead costs to have if the minis were an after thought
Trve Grimdark@ChaosScrapLord
Warhammer 40k has always been lore and canon first, minis second. It released without a dedicated mini line, was incepted as a Narrative game and RPG first (as sated by Priesley and Ansell) and, has had more space in its Rulebooks/Codexes dedicated to background and lore than mini collecting or list building. Mini catalogues were also few and far between the numerous sources books and article collections for lore. Anyone saying otherwise is either a post 8th Ed parasite or a consumer brain half wit. Either way, fuck off my lawn posers.

@kiwethon @NornQueenKya If you mean 40k v0.1 as in the mid-Eighties ads. If you mean the Rogue Trader book I’d disagree already.
English
@NornQueenKya He is correct about 40k v0.1;
however, once they started down the lead minis path,
the only way was more volume, more volume...
so anything from 40k v1.0 Catalog1 onwards was about more minis...

@Andyluviano23 @NornQueenKya That’s their point, but it’s so absurdly wrong that it’s hilarious.
The models come first, and have done for decades. The lore is *constantly* being rewritten as new models and factions come out. GW retconning their lore is such a common thing that it’s a meme by now.
English
@NornQueenKya I believe their point is that lore is the literal fuel for the sales.
I don’t know anything about Warhammer but as an example. Star wars lore was shafted royally in the ST generation compared to the PT generation. And you can see that in the media/toy sales.

@marten_sorby @peni2493 @drterrysimpson The OP is extremely stupid/intentionally spreading misinformation, but I grew up on unpasteurised milk in rural England in the Seventies. Pasteurisation of milk in England didn’t become law until 1985.
English
@peni2493 @drterrysimpson Modern standardized pasteurization was developed in the mid-1800s.
Your parents were raised on pasteurized milk, and so were their parents and grandparents.
English
Raw milk has something pasteurized does not - we call it bacteria. Discovered years ago, and some cause illness, and some of those illnesses lead to hospitalizations and deaths. But people want you to take a chance on E coli. So they make up things like raw milk includes a magic ingredient that pasteurization (heating at 165 degrees for 12 seconds) removes. There is no such magic ingredient. Why do they want raw milk? Why are they using science to write non science and nonsense.

A man blows up himself and his ex-partner. At the end of the article phone numbers of help orgs for women.
But the police themselves did nothing even though they had been contacted several times before the murder.

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you.
I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for

Funny how you paid your shareholders billions, racked up huge debt for water companies you took over debt free and now try to tell us, the consumers, who have no choice, that for our own good you have to fleece us to make up for decades of missed investment.

Much of our pipework is ageing and needs renewing. Water companies are working to reduce water leaks by 1 billion litres by 2030. So, we can keep water flowing to where it’s needed, for generations to come.

@envidreamz @1goodtern A friend of mine got glandular fever for the first time about a month after COVID.
She then had two rounds of catching COVID and then a few weeks later having a glandular fever relapse.
The last I heard (2.5 years ago) she’d mostly stopped masking, even knowing the link. 😭

“Has anyone else been getting the flu constantly?
3x in 40 days”
Reply is shocking:
“Covid damages immune systems” and provides a research link!!!
OP: “I get Covid yearly since 2022… maybe I should reexamine long term effects”
Update:
“It’s glandular fever/mono lol, explains why I’ve been sick since February! 😂”
This person completely mentally erases the Covid conversation! Forgets the comment. Forgets their own “reexamine that” reply.
Covid is notorious for reactivating Epstein Barr Virus (EBV AKA “Mono” or “Glandular Fever”).
Studies show Covid patients have significantly higher EBV reactivation rates and it’s strongly linked to lingering fatigue & recurrent sickness.
But nah… it’s never Covid. 🙂↔️
Covid deniers will blame literally anything except the virus that keeps breaking immune systems.
