aye, the Valentines, some of the Halloween ones, and some Christmas ones were the cheaper variety; my personal suspicion is doing it seasonally to gauge market reaction, and I hope it backfires.

They actually get around it by calling it "chocolate candy" instead of milk chocolate; they also swapped in peanut creme instead of peanut butter. I hate semantics games.

always imagined it sounds like the video of the rhino taking a massive shit, the one where it starts up sounding like a small rc plane...

Hmm... side used biowarfare to selectively exterminate whole species because they weren't human, ensured non-humans were second class citizens at BEST, enslaved whole species, ignored every law the in book when it suited them (due process, arrest warrants, etc), no, no the Rebels were not every bit as evil.

Or the fact that the newer ones have that weird spongey connector versus the old hard plastic connection and are surprisingly easy to break; easy to fix but having to take my toothbrush apart every so often just because I use a teensy bit of pressure to make sure the new head is seated? Come on.

So there was definite camaraderie between the two, and the Thousand Sons and White Scars got along fairly well, especially their librarians.

The books presented it as a mix of pragmatism on Jaghatai's part regarding the use of psykers (stormseers iirc for the Scars?) as well as the use of knowledge to combat an enemy, but there always felt like Magnus had a bit of an "aren't you adorable in saying some knowledge is forbidden you rascal, you!" Then again, when the White Scars happen on the ruins of Prospero things go kinda sideways until the Alpha Legion (idiot legion...) overplay their hand.

Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will, in fact, calm up.

O.O that is... insane, and also potentially incredibly dangerous

Didn't BMW do this shit with heated seats? And 100% agree with getting a laser printer, things are indestructible and nowhere near as finnicky.

Kor Phaeron was especially poisonous, the second the Emperor showed up, rather than being happy for his adopted son grew jealous and spiteful rather than showing any true love for Lorgar; lost someone he could use and manipulate to his own ends rather than dunno, being happy for him. Among the many "how did big E miss that?" missing the pure vitriol from Kor Phaeron is honestly shocking.

Didn't the White Scars more or less go "oh no... anyway..." as well, and ignored both the prohibition on librarians and the inclusion of chaplains?

I hear the property value thing a lot... and maybe I'm just stupid, but I genuinely don't get it. Unless you're about to sell, you end up paying more in taxes and possibly increased mortgage. And the zoning block thing is definitely true, Oregon has some goofy laws that were designed to prevent urban sprawl but are causing issues with building more housing (from my initial quick read).

I know that was a huge issue with the HBS turn based game (I'd kickstarted it a ways back) initially, but they were being pretty mum about specifics (likely since nothing was settled at the time) until close to alpha release.

There are also women only traincars (were pink on the JR line around Osaka/Kyoto) that run during the late hours, and yes it definitely is real. You'd see signs all over the train-stations or on the trains themselves extolling proper train behavior (that and that you can say no to getting plastered with your coworkers, but that's a separate issue).

oh good grief O.o I knew a bit about some of it but yikes this gets messy (also explains a bit about why some mechs are not in some games but are in others...). I just remember getting irked because the Marauder and Stone Rhino/Behemoth vanished only to come back after a few years.

Didn't some of it also get tied up until recently with Macross because of some dingus squatting on the copyrights simply because he liked them (so we couldn't get any of the cross-over mechs that were a bit more mecha-looking)?
