So how much of that loss came from Luminous and those non-Japanese studios it got rid of?

All of it. They're describing the loss as a write off due to content abandonment.

I'm quaker, so my natural impulse is the rejection of materialism. Asceticism is virtuous in-of itself, even without contributing motivations.

I'm just stating

Because you believe failure is inevitable.

Smokey, if you're so convinced that you can't win so you shouldn't try, then just fuck off. Because I don't care for your blackpill defeatist bullshit.

or we begin to bully the fuck out of woke retards

Bullies don't win from the position of outsiders.

Linus Torvalds can be a bully successfully. Because he built up a thing with himself as BDFL. Nobody can tell him it's not his. We need to do the same.

Well there probably wouldn't have been that awful Warhammer Online.

If Warhammer goes the same way, I'm not going to unilaterally throw all my 40k stuff away

That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting you throw it all away NOW.

there's a few things I'd still like to grab

The first step to killing a franchise is that it must be dead to you.

Check my house, you'll find not one piece of 40k merch. Not even that 40k munchkin game or the FFG sourcebooks. Not even the Cain books.

Warmachine Mk 3 went down in flames for less.

If you're still spending money on GW after this and AoS and NuMarines... you probably aren't on this site.

Alpha Centauri

Don't go, the drones need you, they look up to you.

Yours maybe. Mine is too cheap to have initiatives.

some of their books can be hit and miss

Dumping FFG for Ulisses Spiele sure worked out for them...

but a minimum level of keeping work and private life separate is healthy

Our enemies do not act so.

Now my job is in tech for a company that has basically no money, so I have the liberty to be as mean as I want in making sure that vendors understand their call is not welcome.

Should have pretended to be the owner and criticized them for going woke.

Or criticized them for Age of Sigmar. No, I'm not going to move on.

Am I biased

A little, yes. The lunar laser rangefinding experiment has been recording data for 50 years. Observatories at Nice (France) and Apache Point (NM) perform the experiment regularly. You can access the raw data from CDDIS if you really want to know how far away the moon is to millimeter level precision.

We landed. We planted a flag. We brought a car and left some burnouts.

And we did it first because Americans in the sixties has massive brass balls. Its been all downhill since then.

We WANT the government to run out of people to sell its debt to.

Then they won't be able to afford to borrow anymore.

Recently saw it, thought it was incredible

Saw it when it was new, thought it was mediocre then, still do.

Half of Evangelion's success can be attributed to it going up against Gundam Wing.

doesn't mean that there isn't any earthly consequences

Correct.

the bad guys will get theirs in the end... somehow?

Christ didn't preach to Caesar.

The bible DOES NOT (unlike many religions) set out to establish the earthly laws of Christendom. There is no Leviticus in the Synoptic Gospels. The bible preaches forgiveness because forgiving others is the best for YOU, not those who transgress against you.

The medieval conception of the divine right of kings came later, to explain how Caesar can be Christian. Because a just Caesar must do things which are decidedly un-Christian in order to create and preserved Christendom, creating law, imposing it, and condemning those who transgress it.

I wasn't talking to you. I commented because Ableist keeps getting in fights and losing.

Your opinion and the prevailing consensus of 1d6 is of no concern to me (as long as they steer clear of my stuff about Alternity). What fascinates me is Able's inability to learn how to communicate with others.

You immediately called Walrus a moron for saying something true which you disagreed with. If you haven't figured it out by now, your angry marine Don Quixote schtick just doesn't work.

the alt-right is fictional

We here ARE alt-right. You know that.

1d6chan is pretty much defending

I'm starting to think your threshold for "defending" is anything other than ignoring it entirely.

"Well, it was inevitable that the usual suspects would turn 40k into another battleground for their shit-flinging."

-1d6's first sentence about the incident.

Frankly I think it's a pretty cool setup for a Dark Heresy character. Puritan Inquisitor gets stabbed, starts having nightmares of the skull throne, each time waking up flailing as if in a fight, leaving ever bigger dents in the wall as Khorne's power infects their body.

wants to be able to take the character out of the armor and still have them be powerful

Which they could have done with an Inquisitor. Biomancy is a thing (albeit mostly a chaos thing, but still).

You can do anything with inquisitors in this setting, they're outside the law and governed only by rule of cool. You want a super powerful female inquisitor who can dent armor with her bare hands? Have her be warp tainted, tormented by the spectre of Khorne, always half a step away from giving into bloodlust.

Funny how this shit always during “on roof restoration work”

It's not a coincidence at all. It had a verdigris roof. Repairs to sheet copper are usually done with lead as a patching compound. It can be easily worked with a torch. But with very old wood, it's pretty easy to ignite something on the other side of the copper, which is a very good thermal conductor.

........

Okay on further investigation it appears Notre Dame was not hot work (although it was occurring, just not on that day) but rather the scaffolding workers were smoking. The investigators found cigarette butts but couldn't conclusively prove they were the ignition source.
