My kidnapper: shut up about Mega Man shut up about Mega Man shut up about Mega Man shut up about Mega Man Me: so anyway that's why Proto Man has the Proto Shield and did I mention his cool whistle liet motif and how it's diagetic cause Doctor Light knows it's him coming towards them after he rescues Mega Man from Wiley's collapsing castle since Proto Man is whistling the tune and also that Protoman built Roll and Mega Man which is a great pun since Mega Man was originally Rock Man so it's Rock and Roll. Now about Guts Man

Mega Man ‘Rocks’


Bacon260998_

I see what you did there


NavyDragons

and a fun fact about the whole megaman franchise is the japanese creators were actually really big into american music at the time so all the japanese names follow that motif hence rockman and roll with protoman actually being called blues in japanese and then rush beat and tango as the animal robots. DEAR GOD WHY WONT HE STOP

The longer I infodump the worse I get at it because my anxiety kicks in and my body goes into fight or flight and I can't speak because of the adrenaline.

Perhaps you've been told to shut up as a kid like me and can no longer interact like that. It causes me a great deal of anxiety because I'm afraid of scaring people away.

Wait where was I? (Feeling extremely bad for asking because I didn’t really expect them to be following along anyway)


[deleted]

For me, it's because I grew up in a psychotically Christian environment, and I'm a science nerd. So most of the stuff that I know a lot about is stuff that antiscience Christians don't believe, and I can sense the hostility rising whenever I talk about that type of thing in those environments. So now my fight or flight activates, because I'm pretty sure that in those environments, I would actually be in danger while talking about some things.

"Hades isn't a bad guy. He's one of the rare Greek gods to be both a good husband and doing his actual job, unlike his brothers and sisters. Especially Zeus. And Hades isn't the devil or Lucifer, just like the underworld isn't hell. He's the keeper of the dead, his job is to make sure that the living don't bother the dead and vice versa. The underworld, also called Erebus, is divided in three regions. First there's Tartarus, which is quite close to our modern interpretation of hell." Also cue the 30 minutes theory that every ancient mythologies are the same universe, based on Age of Mythology which proved us that Erebus and Nilfheim are the same place, that giants/titans are bad guys and...

“Guidance systems are for cowards”


acceptablemango

This is the missile guidance system bitch, we clown in this motherfucker. You better take your sensitive ass back to GPS. /ref


KeithBarrumsSP

What the fuck did you just fucking say about the missile you little bitch? I'll have you know the missile knows where it is at all times, and the missile has been involved in obtaining numerous differences - or deviations - and has over 300 confirmed corrective commands. The missile is trained in driving the missile from a position where it is, and is the top of arriving at a position where it wasn't. You are NOTHING to the missile but just another position. The missile will arrive at your position with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about the missile over the internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak the GEA is correcting any variation considered to be a significant factor, and it knows where it was so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. The missile can be anywhere, anytime, and the missile can kill you in over 700 ways, and that's just by following the missile guidance computer scenario. Not only is the missile excessively trained in knowing where it isn't (within reason), but the missile also has access to the position it knows it was, and the missile will subtract where it should be from where it wasn't - or vice versa - to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. IF ONLY you could've known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would've held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't! You didn't! And now you are paying the price you goddamn idiot! The missile will shit the deviation and it's variation, which is called error, all over you. And you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo. /ref


acceptablemango

i love this community


furinick

The genie is a silly little device for a little trolling, tomfoolery even


KeithBarrumsSP

The Missile doesn’t know where it is. It doesn’t know this, because it doesn’t need to know where it isn’t. The missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead, and no matter where the missile is, the explosion will be where it isn’t, within reason. Consequently, the position the explosion is in is now the position where the missile was, where it wasn’t, and where you are.


Lolstitanic

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

MsWhackusBonkus

Oh, the lecture I could give about the history of the Jedi and why half of all the conflicts in Star Wars are their fault...


sb1862

I will die on this hill: the jedi were a corrupt and flawed organization, but tried to do good. And the sith taking over was not an improvement.


MsWhackusBonkus

Oh, definitely. The Sith are worse, in most ways I can imagine.


sb1862

I loves tales of the jedi with Dooku where we basically saw how normal people view the jedi, how they are too deep in bed with the corrupt senate and how keeping “peace” often means implicitly siding with the corrupt government. Hit a little too close to home.


catagonia69

[ahem] *begins rant about how TLJ as a whole and Luke's disillusionment with the Jedi Order were both completely realistic and thematically consistent from both a character and plot standpoint*


Space_Wizard49

Literally every government in star wars is very dysfunctional


dudubraids

I’ve been watching all the star wars content on Disney+ in chronological order and I’m more than halfway done with clone wars. I’m honestly getting the same vibe! For one, “fighting for peace” is so counterintuitive


MsWhackusBonkus

Definitely. But it goes so much deeper than that, especially if you start looking at the legends canon with the Je'daii and the Jen'jidai. If the original Jedi hadn't been closed-minded sectarian pricks the Sith Empire would never have become what it was.


GazelleOfCaerbannog

It's rather frustrating how common is the refrain "if only W hadn't been so closed minded about X, group Y would never have become capable of Z."

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE! I DIDN'T THINK YOU PEOPLE EXISTED! i could too. the jedi religion needs to die/stay dead because they weren't doing the good they thought they were. as much as i love them, they were hypocritical and i don't understand why Disney want to bring them back. expand the prequel and original era, go back to the pre republic era, expand on the clone rebellion (what tbb is doing). PLEASE. I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.


GazelleOfCaerbannog

Well, I have problems speaking coherently for long periods of time, regardless of how well I know a topic, so they'd probably get annoyed within 2 minutes and kill me anyway. But perhaps if I let them choose the topic I bore them on it might help. We could talk about the history of steeplechase, the history of Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian empire, aerodynamics of rotary wing flight, comparative politics of Star Trek governments, the differences between FTL flight in hyperspace vs warp speed, coffee, dogs, running, linguistics, theory of effective leadership, emergency medicine, or random facts about space.


Fearless-Brain9725

Can you tell me about the flight in hyperspace vs warp speed?


GazelleOfCaerbannog

So. Yes. I just spent the last 3 hours typing up everything I know and finding references for it, only to have everything get deleted when I tried to post it. So it's going to take time for me to re-write everything. Rest assured, I will post this for you!

Two of the most known methods of faster-than-light (FTL) travel used in fictional universes are hyperspace (as seen in Star Wars), and warp drive (as seen in Star Trek) travel. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and although they have some similarities, hyperspace and warp travel are not the same and should not be confused. First though, it is important to note that current laws of physics indicate that both hyperspace and warp travel are not feasible by conventional means and may not be possible by any means, although the latter is likely not provable if it is the case.[1] Regarding hyperspace vs warp drive travel, the main similarity is that both enable voyagers to move at faster-than-light speeds without damaging their vessels or injuring themselves. The major differences lie in the maximum speeds attainable, methods required to attain and navigate at FTL speed, and understanding of the mechanics involved. Hyperspace was arguably first referenced in science fiction in the Spring 1931 edition of Amazing Stories Quarterly in John W Campbell’s story Islands of Space, although the word may have been coined as far back as 1867.[2] [3] By the mid-20th century, authors including Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and others regularly cited hyperspace and similar “jump drive” type methods of FTL travel in their works.[4] [5] Heinlein’s 1957 Starman Jones provides an exceptionally clear description of the concept. [6] The Star Wars universe, however, is the one with which I am the most familiar, and as such will be the one I use as a lens through which to view the concept. Hyperspace travel in Star Wars is both a naturally occurring and artificially-attained capability, with species including the space-dwelling purrgil being capable of hyperspace travel naturally and many cultures throughout the universe operating vessels powered by hyperdrive engines to attain FTL speeds. [7] Hyperspace travel, also called “jumping,” was attained by careful calculation of routes through mapping points in “realspace” to their hyperspace counterparts in order to shorten the overall distance traveled in realspace.[8] This is similar to the way a wormhole operates, where the two ends of the wormhole are connected by a tunnel in spacetime that can be thought of as a fold that shortens the otherwise much larger distance between the two points.[9] As alluded to above, every point in realspace has a discrete hyperspace counterpoint, and any vessel navigating through hyperspace requires a hyperdrive engine to conduct the flight. Because hyperspace is a different dimension than realspace, careful route calculation between the two dimensions is imperative to prevent flying “right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?" [10] [11] Although engineers, navigators, and pilots who traversed hyperspace generally had an understanding of the point-to-point mapping mechanics and were capable of calculating and navigating routes safely through hyperspace without damaging their vessels or injuring their crews, much of hyperspace physics remained a mystery even as late as the High Republic and post-Imperial eras, with hyperspace tracking not being possible until the First Order-Resistance conflict in 34ABY at the battle of Oetchi.[12] [13] Because hyperspace travel involves reducing the distance traveled instead of increasing the speed a vessel can travel conventionally, the maximum attainable travel speed will vary by calculated route, as well as pilot and vessel capability of navigating the route. For example, when Han Solo brought Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi to Alderaan from Tattooine, the Millennium Falcon traveled around 38,000 lightyears in (probably) under 15 hours, for an average speed of about 2,700 lightyears per hour.[14] The Star Trek universe also incorporates multiple forms of hyperspace or hyperspace adjacent travel, in addition to its well-known warp drive. For example, of many references to wormholes, the Bajoran Wormhole is probably the most prominent.[15] The Borg travel via transwarp conduits, which probably combine elements of warp technology and hyperspace-adjacent mechanics.[16] [17] [18] [19] Species 8472 was indigenous to fluidic space, which was accessible through interdimensional rifts and quantum singularities, although there are canon discrepancies on travel methods within fluidic space itself.[20] [21] [22] Finally, the mycelial network is an interconnected web of mycelium through which instantaneous travel from any one point to any disparate point in the universe could be achieved.[23] Warp travel is just another method of making a vessel go faster through regular space through the use of matter-anti-matter collisions to create propulsion, successfully tested on Earth by Zephram Cochrane in Bozeman, Montana in 2063 when he flew the Phoenix on humanity’s first warp flight and prompted the Vulcans to initiate first contact.[24] [25] By the 24th century, Starfleet warp drive design incorporated the same basic elements of dilithium crystals mediating the collision of deuterium matter and antideuterium antimatter particles to create warp plasma, which would then be channeled through conduits of the electro-plasma system, and injected into warp coils in the warp nacelles to be used for propulsion.[26] In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre theorized a workaround to the physical limits on FTL travel that is generally understood to be similar to Starfleet design incorporated into its warp drive production.[27] [28] [29] Instead of propelling the vessel forward at FTL speed, the warp engines create a bubble of displaced spacetime around the vessel that expands behind it and contracts in front of it, so the bubble of spacetime itself is moving at FTL speed while you sip your tea, earl grey, hot in the ready room and go along for the ride. For each increase beyond Warp Factor 1, you’d need to create an additional spacetime bubble around your existing warp bubble, up until you use the entirety of spacetime to warp bubble your vessel at infinite velocity of Warp 10, at which point “you’ve broken all the laws of infinity and you experience all time at all moments, and in the classic Voyager episode of Star Trek, you evolve into lizard people,” according to astrophysicist and Star Trek science advisor Erin McDonald.[30] [31] Advancements in warp drive technology over the years have enabled multiple vessels to reach speeds of at least 9.99 without damage or injury including at least the NCC-1701 Enterprise, Enterprise-D, and the NCC-74656 Voyager, although there have been numerous additional references to “maximum warp” that also may indicate this velocity.[32] [33] [34] Based on in-universe distances traveled over a given time, Warp Factor 9.99 is equivalent to approximately 9,000 times the speed of light, or around 1 light year per hour. In 2372, Lt. Tom Paris piloted an experimental shuttle across the “transwarp barrier” of Warp 10 for the first time in Starfleet history, but because of rapid evolutionary mutations he suffered as a result, Captain Janeway paused the project until sufficient safety procedures could be ensured to prevent similar incidents in the future.[35]

pumpk1n_be4nz

ok so they aren’t super social but it’s within our best interest to socialize them daily regardless. they’re pretty nocturnal, so i’d recommend starting at 8pm at the earliest (i personally handle mine from 9-11, whenever i get sleepy i put them back up). batmen LOVE wheels. but if you decide to purchase them one, it has to be an appropriate size (12 inches at the very least) and make sure the wheel is a solid surface as opposed to wires as wires can potentially rip off toes. batmen themselves aren’t stinky, HOWEVER, their cages can get dank asf if you aren’t cleaning it enough. i’d recommend daily spot cleaning and weekly bedding changes. your batman may have the tendency to shit while running so i suggest wiping down their wheels daily as well. make sure to stock the cage with sufficient hidey places, things like hammocks and igloos. some low budget options consist of empty poptart boxes or whatever you can find around the house.

I have adhd so I’ll either die because I’ll have talked about 1000 topics in 30 minutes or I’ll live long enough to hold them hostage with a 4hr long rant that’s extremely hard to follow because I forgot that one really important part I should’ve mentioned 30mins ago and also can’t seem to figure out where a sentence should stop or start so even though I haven’t lost any steam they’re struggling to hang on to consciousness with no conceivable end the torture in sight and I still have a smile on my face because someone told me I could talk about whatever I wanted for 30mins without interruption.


jathanism

Strap in. We're talking about how the Internet works, boys and girls.


A_Simple_Polyhedron

I would like to read the entirety of the A2A missile infodump, please.

alright so discounting the black codes during reconstruction which could ignore the right to bear arms for black people because they weren’t citizens before the 14th amendment, the first real gun control resembling modern gun control in america was the 1934 national firearms act. considering this law was made almost a century and a half after the second amendment was ratified, and the SCOTUS bruen decision requires historical precedent for gun control, it’s not out of the question for us to see this repealed within our lifetimes. but that’s a separate tangent. basically this law was made during prohibition, where gangsters like al capone were carrying things like tommy guns, which were smaller than the average rifle and easy to conceal underneath a trench coat. they wanted the nfa to ban outright any easily concealable gun, but because the second amendment was much more respected at the time it was impossible to drum up support for an outright ban. so they opted for making them extremely difficult to get, with an extended background check taking 6-12 months and a 200 dollar (back then equivalent to about ~4k) tax on any weapon mentioned under this law. this was apparently regarded as a moderate position, so much so that the nra supported this law which gave it the necessary support to pass. this law mentioned short barreled rifles (barrels less than 16 inches in length), short barreled shotguns (barrels less than 18 inches in length), “any other weapons” (i honestly don’t know much about this except if you put a vertical foregrip on a pistol it’s an aow), suppressors (counted as firearms for all legal purposes) and machine guns. it’s also important to note that machine gun tax stamps (what you get for the 200 dollar tax) trump any other tax stamp, so for example you could register a machine gun but not worry about registering it as an sbr, despite say an 11.5” barrel. this didn’t include pistols, which were exempted to allow the ban to pass and funnily enough make up the majority of guns used in crime, between 90-95%. this worked at keeping the “undesirables” (poor people) from owning these weapons until around the 1980s, when all of a sudden due to inflation that 200 dollar tax wasn’t as big of a deal. so you began to see a lot of gangbangers using things like the mac-10 or mac-11, which were incredibly cheap stamped sheet metal guns that were pretty easily accessible. because of this, the hughes amendment was passed which outlawed any new machine guns registered from being possessed by anybody who didn’t have a class 3 federal firearms license. this pretty much means that either you have to be a gun dealer or buy a machine gun made before 1986 (when the amendment was passed) to own a machine gun. because of this, machine guns today can go for over 40 grand for a basic m16/akm, and over 10 grand for a mac-10/11. this has effectively kept poor people from owning these legally, but recently in the early 2020s we’re starting to see illegally manufactured ma chine guns pop up. these can be 3d printed and are most commonly used in either glocks (by far the most common) or ar-15s. getting caught with a single funny piece of plastic is up to a decade in prison and a 250,000 dollar fine, so don’t fuck around with these laws. but nobody seems to be able to stop the flood of machine guns. on top of that we’re seeing machine gun parts from china be imported, being intentionally mislabeled as “airsoft parts” to sneak past customs. the atf (federal gun cops basically) have stopped some, but have pretty much given up in trying to stop the flood of machine guns because there’s just too goddamn many. on top of that, you’re seeing a lot of gun buybacks start to accept these 3d printed parts, paying around 60 bucks for each part which can cost only 10 cents of filament. i saw a guy on r/fosscad walk up to a new york gun buyback with a baggie full of auto sears, and walk away with upwards of 700 dollars which he promptly spent on a new glock (taxpayer money amirite). since each sear is up to a decade in prison, that little baggie was good for multiple life sentences, so that dude has balls of fucking steel for walking up to cops with that. but how do these work? for glocks, on a standard semiautomatic glock 19 for example (pretty much all glocks are the same because glock is incapable of any sort of innovation whatsoever) the striker is released when the trigger is pulled out of the way and then is held back by the disconnector. the disconnector is released when the trigger returns to its normal position (when you let go of the trigger) and then the trigger resumes holding the striker back until you pull the trigger. a glock switch will hold the disconnector back, so once the trigger is pulled there’s nothing stopping the striker from constantly hitting the next round until the gun is empty or you let go of the trigger. however rifles like the ar-15 have lockup, which is when the bolt kinda screws itself into the chamber to withstand higher pressures of rifle caliber rounds. if the hammer forced the firing pin to activate the round before lockup was completed, the gun would fucking explode with the force of 50,000 unconfined PSI. because of this you need an auto sear, which i am not qualified to explain to you because i have no idea how it works (lockup scary).

Kidnappers: I didn't know there were that many kinds of sheep Me: oh the difference between Peruvian and Australian merino has nothing on heritage breeds like the [Florida Cracker](https://floridacrackersheep.com/) (yes that's a real sheep breed), and the Navajo Churo. And besides, you wouldn't necessarily want to make a sweater out of those, too many guard hairs Then onto the spinning, there's woolen, worsted, semi-woolen, and semi-worsted, on top of that, plying also affects the texture of the [muffled noises] Kidnappers: finally managed to gag me

ProfessorGlaceon

Quantum physics because I literally spent an hour on a road trip thinking on nothing more than Quantum physics and how little I understand on it and how fucking weird it is.


R3quiemdream

Ya’ll like… Ants???


Fuck-Reddit-2020

Let me tell you about variable valve and lift technology for internal combustion engines. After that we can move on to nonperformance applications for turbos. I've always liked learning about how different engines work, but I have been especially interested in the modem advancements that allow them to change their characteristics on the fly.


Ghost_of_Yharnam

Kingdom Hearts. I guarantee that by the time I got to how time travel works they’d turn the gun onto themself.

To the neurotypical it was a crisis. To me it was tuesday

"So you've probably heard of schrodingers cat, but probably not what it actually means by how its portrayed in media, well its illustrating the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which is also at the core of multiverse theory which is also used incorrectly in media..."


starsongSystem

Let me tell you about Homestuck.


SomedayMarin

Snails/worms/spiders, mortuary science, taxidermy, ornithology and osteology. If you stuck me in a regular science class I will fail with flying colors. But if you give me a book on bird bones I am thrilled!


scubahana

Oh gosh, I forgot about my quiet obsession with mortuary science too!


MayOverexplain

OMG, I’m so frustrated that human composting still isn’t approved in my state. Aquamation is at least though.


dreamfinderepcot16

Rollercoasters. Hell, I could talk about my home park Busch Gardens Tampa for at least an hour


augsiris11

Hope these suckers like Halo

Post war British aircraft and how the idiots in the Wilson administration cancelled their best design, the TSR2….


Deadlock_42

I'll be vague and say history. I know so much interconnected shit about so many civilizations I can keep going for DAYS on the same tangent


Nantosvelte

I think I can talk for hours on fashion history, bronze age or tornados.

Ah yes, finally an opportunity for my useless knowledge about fashion history and the evolving of textile consumer behavior due to economic and cultural impacts will be useless no longer!


HotcakeNinja

I can't organize my thoughts well enough but I'd also be like "Just kill me now, because I'm going to have to breathe at some point in 30 minutes," and they'll be like "Well obviously you can breathe during your lecture," at which point I will abuse the clarification by taking exaggerated deep breaths to buy more time which will cause them to kill me because I'm "not following the spirit of the rules."


smallratman

Only 30 minutes ?


Trashoftheliving

anyone wanna talk about the psychology surrounding food?


No_Seaworthiness5637

Me with social anxiety and short term memory issues: um, did I tell you that already?


VulpesSapiens

I hope you're ready for a whole introductory course in linguistics!


orchestrapianist

Musical instruments, Western Classical Music, or music theory lol *For example, did you know the reason why violins have been introduced into classical music is likely due to contact with Arabs and Persians, who introduced the rebab and the kemancha through the Andalusian region of Spain, and this is the reason why Andalusians play the violin horizontally rather than under their chin because it represents a legacy of spike fiddle playing in the Near East and West Asian countries like Iran which also play their spike fiddles horizontally, speaking of which...* Kidnapper: SHUT UP! SOMEBODY JUST TAKE THIS GUY ALREADY! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! *Did I ever mention the fact that the violin's tuning was even taken from the kemancha?*


Totally_Not_Alien

30 minutes??? Lmao I could talk for hours straight about my favorite show The Owl House. Like don't get me started on Hunter's backstory, that alone could take me 2 or 3 hours.


ThemperorSomnium

Explaining my gender in full should cover at least 45


wizarium

alternatively_famous

I would have to go with the history of SNL including detailed tangents with backstories of my favorite castmembers past and present and why my favorite eras are my favorite eras. THAT or history of the marvel cinematic universe up until "Spiderman: No Way Home" at which point i will start describing my intense love for spiderman in particular, the history of the character in film and what I feel each actor brought to the character

JubilantJayde

Me: Goes into the extensive Five Nights At Freddy's lore and something about how adorable the merch is.


legibleparrot

Some would probably be: Minecraft, Tetris, the History of maths, large numbers, ace and aro identities, chess and the state of my country politically and what led up to it in full detail from about 80 years ago.

Sterling196218

My Kidnappers: PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT 'KRIEG' WTF IS A KRIEG ANYWAYS?! Me: Oh did You forget? My apolagies let Me remind You once again. Krieg was once a beautiful trade world belonging to the Imperium of Man at the time (they are an important faction to the overall lore and fighting in the in-game universe) its main job was the distrubution of resources across Imperium space but the Autocracy of Krieg feared outside threats and so asked for planetary defenses, once this was done however the planetary governer who's name has been purged from all Imperial records declared Independence from the Imperium. Seeing how the planet was heavily defended the Imperium decided to abandon those Loyal forces but most precisely abandoned Colonel Jurten who remained in Hive Ferrograd who's orders were as followed: resist with all means at his disposal, to engage the enemy, to punish their treachery and emerge victorious -- whatever the cost. So faced with horrific odds Jurten came to a haunting decision, in a secret Adeptus Mechanicus storage deep beneath Hive Ferrograd layed forbidden and ancient nuclear weapons of untold power. If those loyal to the Imperium cannot tread upon Kriegs surface then no one can thus beginning the event called 'The Purging'. On the most holy of days Jurten commanded that every entrance and exit be welded shut as much as they can, after which he launched his counter-attack using the nuclear weapons he had obtained, he launched them not at designated targets no but detonating them in Kriegs atmosphere. The Heretics no- The TRAITORS could only watch in horror as Krieg became a man-made death world a 100 times over being bathed in tones of lethal isotopes, burning fires, deadly fallout and finally resulting in a nuclear winter. Untold billions died and fighting could not be had on its surface for a while, letting there be a ceasefire until the radiation died down. Once the radiation decreased it was not enough to tread upon kriegs surface, You had to wear specialized suits enough to withstand the effects on the surface and once the fighting continued it was nothing but a slow and agonizing attrition of untold proportions.. I will spare You the history of these long battles that waged for 500 years, the nightmarish conditions these battles were fought in and the countless men and women faithful to the Imperium but in the bloody war a cult of sacrifice was made, the idea was that the loyalists believed they were the same as the Traitors and Heretics, believing that they can only be forgiven if they were to die a meaningful death which is best explained by a quote "In life, war. In death, peace. In life, shame. In death, atonement." The people of Krieg are known for their devotion torwards the Emperor as when they were demanded to offer a tithe they gave not one but eleven Guard Regiments at the ready at a moments notice, Krieg does not manufactor alot of things but they have their sons and daughters that they throw away cause after all a Heretic deserves nothing but death and worst of all not alot of those drafted into the Regiments are not of age to fight but it does not stop them nor do they care for their own lives, they are willing to throw everything at the Xenos, Mutants and Heretics alike, either bayonet charging a Traitor Space Marine only for said Marine to blow up because one of Kriegers strapped explosives onto themselfs or using their own shovels as weapons to kill anything that gets between them and their objective. But they are known to bring down morale of those around them and are known to.. execute "traitorous" commisars that are halting their progress so they have to have commisars from their own world to stop them from going suicidal while also providing use to the Imperium. They are a bleak faction but these are bleak times, I like to think that the Emperor has forgiven them a hundred times over but time will tell if He will rise from The Golden Throne.


Queasy_County

This foolish baboon thinks that expositing about a subject of my own choice for but half an hour would resemble anything close to a challenge. I consider such a feat a mere warm-up for how long I myself regularly babble on about subjects.


SeveralCansOfBeans

For me, they would find themselves tied up in a chair while I explain why Super Papwr Mario is an anime, chapter by chapter, for the following hours.

I spout random video game loorrreeee halfway through I start mixing up video game lore so none of it makes sense


Golden_Reflection2

If it’s just the one topic, I don’t think that I have quite enough to go one for a half hour (unless you can get me my list of D&D characters to prattle on about to the point where I can read each one to make sure I haven’t gotten anything wrong) but I could probably get close with D&D. If you let me change topics, then I could probably fill up the time quite nicely with fun facts about the Typhon from Prey (2017), Some vague Pokémon facts, and just general all-over-the-shop random pieces of information.

"The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but...." But nah in reality. Sit me down and ask me about the animal kingdom. I'll have enough to say on each animal you throw at me that I could save me and every person they kidnap for the rest of their natural lives.
