Remember russianhacker? It is very likely that putin killed him too

I still dont think that hugelol is a good posting place for memes about people who recently died in a political context (kirk, this lady etc). Not because it is controversial or because it mocks victims but more because similair posting lead to the shutdown and in some regard public discourse about hiddenlol. Same thing for political spaming etc.

Political poosting and calling people of the opposite political spectrum retarded ***s is stil cool tho.

Marbles of enigneering

More than just the wide popularity. There are several points i hate about space marine 2, despite it being a fun game

1. The entire game is basically a big games workshop marketing gig. Everything you see in the game, you can buy from games workshop. The gw webstore literally has an "as seen in sm2" tag. And this includes everything from npcs to cosmetics to even the colours for the marines being citatel names
Other warhammer games either dont represent the miniatures at all or do it in a easter-egg kinda way (like the map buggies in darktide are the gsc buggies). Total war, which is based upon the og warhammer tabletop, invents its figures new instead of 1:1 replicating the old minis.
2. The game isnt grimdark: there are no character deaths, tragic backstories or unovercomable situations. The characters arent even jerks
3. It appealed to the wrong community: almost all warhammer games incorporate at least elements of the tabletop into the gameplay. Good examples are total wars leadership stats work exactly like leadership in the tabletop or rogue trader weapons representing the actual abilities of the tabletop weapons like rapid fire or heavy. 40k (and warhammer games) traditionally tend to be either map or turn based games because this style of game overlaped with what tabletop players might like. (Note that not every warhammer game strictly follows this formula and there are other games with similair playstyles.
3.1 but space marine 2 didnt focus at all on the tabletop and instead made its game into a shooter game. This naturally appealed to action fans who then got into wh expecting "super hero tacticool action" instead of grimdark boardgames
4. The story (although being cool) is not a warhammer story, because the typical warhammer grimdark feeling in space marine 2 doesnt exist. You can even make the argument that the stroy doesnt change if you replace the space marine with marvel characters or a bruce wills/vin diesel esque action character. Despite being literally the same story, space marine 1 managed to incroporate the warhammer feeling by emracing the grimdark while sm2 does not. Compared, you can actually point out the differences: sm1 has space marines trying to recapture a titan factory despite the planet being lost while sm2 has space marines fighting bug monsters to save a invaluable planet / backstory of an inquisitor mendeling with chaos vs evil guy wants artefact / named space marine being killed while all named space marines survive all their quirky solo trips etc.
5. Gw going out of its way to integrate the events of sm2 into canon. Normally, 40k games are considered "warhammer fanfiction" (sm1 repaces canon caracters (eg. Titus is a pseudo cato sicarius / nemeroth being abbadon) or darktide making the story explicially non-canon). This allows the games to go out of the strict canon rules for characters and actually make a good story - like standin cato sicarius killing standin abbadon, or a great unclean one being on tertius - without messing up the wider 40k story. However gw desperately tries to fit in sm2 into the current canon and messing up ongoing story lines and character arks. Like the canonisation of titus in the 500 world campaign replacing big 4th company uriel ventris lore and neglecting the wardens of ultramar chapters. Because captian titus got so big in the game, he slowly takes over storys and lore of other characters

Overall, space marine 2 is a really good, fun and enjoyable game. I like playing space marine 2. But its not the non-plus ultra of 40k game to ever exist. However, due to the big success if the game, gw tries to captialize on it as good as possible, which is bad because it doesnt represent warhammer in a good way

Space marine 2 is the worst thing that happened to warhammer in the last 15 years, including female custodes, primaris refresh or matt ward.

But there is occational grimdark popping through, eg the plaguewars, ark of omen introduction or the darktide series have peak grimdark moments

Yeah but its like thursday today

Must be a very protestant take, especially since there is literally a 30m obelisk on the peters dome blocking the popoes view

Bro is living the dream
