I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • I immediate recognize the first clip as the Dawn Of War intro. The third is from the Amazon produced Secret Level 40k episode. Second video I’m unsure of off the top of my head, I think it may have come from something relating to one of the Mechanicus games.

    These are just part of the flood of never ending low quality content in YouTube shorts (not just 40k shorts, but shorts overall). Channels taking official animations, slapping some dumbass text and music over them and calling it a day. GW defends their IP (sometimes overly heavy handedly), but they realistically can’t and aren’t going to go after every single shorts channel.

    My solution would be to stop watching shorts.

    I don’t think anyone should preorder. It’s a predatory way to suck a full price of the game or even higher than normal price out of customers by using often laughably cheap benefits to drum up FOMO.

    For me personally, I rarely have interest in brand new AAA games, which are the most guilty of pre-order sales tactics, so the problem more or less solves itself.

    Early Access games can be a different story. I’m more willing to throw money at a small studio or solo project that appears to have some passion behind it. Even so I only spend with the mindset that whatever state the game is in might be all I ever get, so match the price to that expectation. I recently played through Deathtrash. It’s unfinished and is historically slow to get updates, however for the $11 I got it for on sale, it had a lot of content and I felt happy with what I got.

    Project Zomboid is another example of a “permanently Early Access” game. It might never get out of Early Access but it has so much content now that $20 is a perfectly acceptable price. The history of devs supporting it and the community around it means support for it is unlikely to simply disappear.

    Know your dealers.

    You go to Nurgle for- well don’t go to Nurgle for drugs, Khorne for bath salts, Slaanesh for coke, Tzeentch for acid. You go to the Emperor for a lecture on how religion is false even though you didn’t bring it up but now you’re socially obligated to stay while he talks.

    You go to Jurgen or rattling snipers for weed.
