Abaddon was a real zero all right. How many campaigns did it take to finally conquer Cadia? 
When I play 40k, I get a lot more pleasant non-chuddy vibes from fellow gits among da Orkz. 
They believe that AND they think art is 100% separate from the artist, just so they can consume their treats without feeling guilty.
Many such cases, such as when Justin Roiland's apologists said that all of the SV against children was "ironic" and "just a joke" in the edgy trash he put out (especially his "children's special" television shorts that involved nothing but constant and repeated SV "just to see how audiences would react") and when it was revealed that he was actually an enthusiast for such things in his personal life "death of the author!" was chanted to make the "ironic" "just a joke" edgy trash somehow still seem acceptable. Justin Roiland was always a piece of shit to match the value and message of his output.
Many such cases of them not even reading the wikis of the treats they consume.
Some do; those ones just see the Imperium's mass-murdering death cult as "based" too.
It could be as simple as a lot of MAGA chuds also liking how "based" the Galactic Empire seemed, and attributing all "based" things to their (their words not mine) "God Emperor."

and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city
It's never the fucking rich, never ever ever! 
Every struggle session makes the Hexbearer more resistant to wrecker infiltration. 
I remember talking to someone about Starship Troopers once, the conversation made me seriously question if the person I was talking to had a grasp on what was and what wasn't reality. He was arguing that society should essentially be exactly like it's depicted by Heinlein, and I was trying to point out to them that the only reason that type of society works in the book is because the author wrote it that way, but they kept referring back to the book itself to try and prove that that type of society would work in reality.
Do we have the same relative?
Mine also had a long unsolicited rant about how Gambo "corrupted" his preteen children because there was a gay blowjob once. Yeah, the rest of the Gambo show's sexual violence and gory torture scenes were fine for those same preteen children though. According to him, they are "mature for their age" so that's all fine, as long as no gaaaaay. 
My mother is a post-op trans woman btw, and also the most reactionary conservative person I have ever met.
May even be some boomeresque sunk cost fallacy: "UNLESS YOU SPENT X DOLLARS ON SURGERY LIKE I DID, YOU DON'T COUNT!"

Some of that bazinga's most misanthropic and bootlicky takes have already been deleted by mods so I can't directly quote them, but what was deleted were some logical rational whoppers such as "all of you are under an idealistic delusion that human beings will always outcompete machines in work tasks if they believe strongly enough." 
That ship sailed at least as far back as the myth of Paul Bunyan. Personally, the moment I added wheels to my travel bag, those wheels made me obsolete as a travel bag carrier. Fucking no one took that position but that bazinga didn't want to confront positions that were actually taken and kept doing victory laps while congratulating themself. 
The most persistent take remaining was not even far off from my slight exaggeration of the conclusions drawn by that bazinga in the title of this thread: they claimed that there is no difference between LLMs and you, right now, sitting here reading this text. Persisting with that take with sea lioning tactics demanding that everyone else prove otherwise (so much for extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence) and dodging every refutation of it already in that thread, the implication of their take is that every time AI Dungeon tells you "Count Grey" might have shown up, uninvited, to your Gundam interactive fanfic, smirking and chuckling before violently murdering everyone in the room with "squelch" sounds, that isn't just a bad data set fed to it by edgelords: that was from a nascent potentially-sapient ghost in the machine that may soon be at least as intelligent as you. 
Considering I'm shipping out in a few days and I really don't like posting from a phone so I'm likely to be away from here for an indefinite time after that, it almost feels like supernatural timing to have this sort of ultimate bazinga show up now. 
Yes I posted a lot in that particular thread about Redditors being really superstitious about the tech magic of LLMs, but then look who approached me.
This was too late for Halloween, and it might be 2spooky4U, but enjoy.

Taking a hardline approach to prescriptivism is the language equivalent of feeling very strongly about one specific year of pop culture and wanting to hit the brakes on the march of time and keep resurrecting, say, Pump Up The Jam.

Stay mad, Peak Human!
Reviews of old, obscure, or weird games are habit-forming for me. 
Now that I think about it, Hobbes did have very similar vibes to modern internet edgelords that claim that everyone would do (horrid action here) if only they knew they could get away with it, and also tend to subscribe to the ruinous brainworms of "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory" which basically declares everyone being horrible on the internet is just being ironic therefore no actions should ever be taken against "ironic" nazis and the like. 
Yes it was last week, but the Kant/can't pun counter has reset!

What's an old game innovation/novelty that you enjoyed that has mostly or entirely fallen out of use?
(hexbear.net)
EDIT: Seems dynamic music is back in style in some very recent games, many of which I haven't really played yet. Good. 
For me, it's dynamic music, the kind that some games had that adjusted moment by moment to what was happening in the game.
The best-known example of this in the 90s game TIE Fighter, where the moment more enemy (or allied) ships showed up the music would have a little additional flourish to acknowledge the shift in battle. There were pre-battle tension tracks, battle music, complications of battle, grandiose flourishes for the arrival of enemy or even allied capital ships, and victory and failure music all ready to flow into the next seconds of the game.
A lesser-known but still excellent example of this was in Ultima Underworld and its sequel, where drawing a weapon had its own special "preparing for battle" tension music, getting attacked had a jump-out-of-your-skin joltingly sudden musical start that actually scared me as a kid when I got ambushed, music for battles going well, going poorly, victory and defeat.
I wish more games did those sort of second by second musical changes, but they've sort of fallen out of fashion for the most part. 
Jean-Michel Basquiat began his career as a wild-child, anti-establishment graffiti artist, and his rebellious stance is most graphically evidenced in his 1982 painting Obnoxious Liberals.
As the title suggests, Obnoxious Liberals depicts a series of figures representing capitalism and its hapless, powerless victims. The exploited, corroded victim, on the one hand, is virtually held hostage by the minions of mainstream White American culture, as represented by dollar signs, cowboy hats and Uncle Sam top hats as well as a "Not For Sale" sign. The victim's dark skin also hints at the systematic oppression of African-Americans.
Basquiat was born in New York City in 1960 to parents of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent. The racial injustices he witnessed from an early age filled him with rage and the urge to rebel against the system. The political overtones of an indignant Jean-Michel are most obvious in Obnoxious Liberals.
Basquiat had no compunction about accompanying his visual art with written words expressing his intentions. Phrases, expressions, even nonsense syllables were acceptable to him as long as they helped him to convey his urgent, keenly felt messages to the public. For Basquiat, his message, the need to be understood, was just as important as the visual creation itself.
One of Basquiat's main influences was Pablo Picasso, and this influence is notable in Obnoxious Liberals. The painting is clearly reminiscent of Picasso’s masterpiece Guernica and also portrays the atrocities perpetrated on the helpless victims by ruthless and unscrupulous authoritarian figures.
Although Basquiat’s creations often appear chaotic, as if he simply blew them out of his head on the spur of the moment, in fact, this is an impression which the artist himself strove painstakingly to produce.
The truth was that, in reality, he spent a great deal of time pondering over his canvases and carefully constructing in his mind what he wished to display, the disposition and lay-outs of his work and the messages he wanted to transmit.
The charismatic creator was a brilliant artist who knew how to employ vivid color for masterful effect. The use of primal, primary tones, splashes of raging red to attract the eye, glaring blue and black contrasting with pristine white and the almost complete absence of any other hues are some of the notable features of this painting.
Obnoxious Liberals, with its clear, confident strokes, is without a doubt a perfect example of Basquiat at his best.
