    I’ll take the L on that, I didn’t know it wasn’t explicitly said. I don’t remember any speculation like that either.

    Still I take it from what you’re saying that there were also no female custodian characters over the years, right? It doesn’t help the misconception but it isn’t the same as saying there aren’t any.

    Yeah it’s the same when you have a complaint that aligns with the bigots. Like the female custodes debacle. I don’t care what gender the marines are, but I do think GW handled it poorly.

    If they had just had… Idk the mechanicus find some relic that allowed women recruits to survive the upgrade to space marine, primaris, and custodes, and had them deliver a sick ‘more bodies for the war’ line, it would’ve been better.

    Saying that does feel icky because there are people who are just against women being marines and custodes. I’m not. If GW did it better, I’d have nothing to say and the bigots would still be bigots.





  • I don’t care about social media, I live in a big city so I rarely travel for a concert, sometimes I get sick sometimes I don’t and ofc it sucks when I do, I agree having to wear earplugs sucks…

    The appeal is that I’m a metalhead and I feel like a metal concert is one of the only places where, within some rules, I can go batshit crazy. It’s cathartic. I don’t even have to get in the pit necessarily, it’s enough that I can scream until I have no voice.

    I can still get the occasional 30-40 euro concert ticket for a smaller band, but that’s rare.






  • I would encourage you to get comfortable with a tool and consumable loadout somewhat, at least to try to keep them in the same slots and change your keybinds so you can quickly switch to a vitality shot or a melee weapon without having to scroll.

    You can make loadouts just for those, but this game’s UI is a buggy mess and the UX is guantanamo bay tier so I would wait with that until you feel ‘rich’ and always able to buy everything you like, so you don’t get gear fear and frustrated with the fact that the game doesn’t automatically use your contraband items.

    For weapons, it’s up to you. The Martini Henry is a decent gun, though I would say it’s outclassed by the Sparks in terms of damage and by the Springfield in terms of special ammo. There are challenges in the game for making hunters bleed, or using specific weapons, etc. so being able to make use of multiple guns is useful. Challenges give bloodbonds and battlepass points.

    If you feel like you want to play something varied one day, you can try out different loadouts, and if you feel like you want to get good with one gun another day, you can do that too. In the end, it’s about your enjoyment.


  • When you recruit hunters there’s an option to recruit 4 free hunters, and they reset after every match. There is 0 downside to picking those up, picking one you like, taking the gear off the other ones, and starting a game. I actually do this for a match or 2 to warm up and not experience gear fear.

    They’ll usually have similar loadouts and generally speaking the minimum necessary gear so you can start learning some weapons’ strengths and weaknesses without going in naked.

    Alternatively, you can try out soul survivor, in which only the last player standing gets to win, so you must make moves or lose.

    In the end, it comes down to being OK with failure and losing, but still striving for the win. Once you have that confidence, you might feel “ok, I’m pushing and making moves, but maybe not winning as many of these as I’d like. I guess now I have to learn to pick my battles better and learn to maneuver better”.

    Don’t worry about KD or MMR. You can hide those stats and just play the game.
