Netflix?
In other news, I feel like the second season of OPM is starting to show the seams. The writing is still quite good, although moving to an arc-model is very standard shounen. Also, whilst the animation isn’t bad, I feel like it’s lacking the ambition of the first season. Basically you start to notice a lot of very standard shounen shortcuts.
It’s kind of annoying when the first season was built entirely on subversion, and now it’s just more MHA. Still great, but not what made it gold in the first place.

It was in South Africa and he had a forged business card and turned up in a limo.
In my country if someone turned up in a limo and tried to tell me they were from head office they’d have their head taken off.

Coffee for me is purely functional. White, probably euro-style espresso and with a conciliatory teaspoon of sugar. Anything to make the process of intense caffeination as pleasant as possible.
Because ever since a minor run-in with caffeine overdose in my teenage years I can’t have more than one cup a day without getting nausea and shakyness.

Plus a commensurate increase in survivability has also upped the price of transports in a big way. Not saying rhino rushing isn’t feasible in certain situations, but it’s definitely more expensive to do so. Unless you have something berserker-priced or similar, it’s unlikely to be worth it.

Also it results in a much more... “precise” fix for units with invulnerable saves. Thousand Sons which used to be impervious to almost everything except massed Bolter Fire are now much easier to take down. Rather than needing an expensive AP-3 option and then having a 4++ laughing at you, now you can use generic heavy weapons to chip away at them.
Roboute Guilliman is in the same boat. 2+ armor, 3++ invulnerable, Toughness 6? It’s like massed autocannons were made for him. You just need to bring the armor down to the level of the invulnerable.

As a fellow curmudgeon, I agree with most of that.
I say most though because Primaris are pretty fun to play with, despite the lore butchery. The extra wound, extra attack and longer range gun means they feel a little bit thematically closer to how I think space marines should feel. A costly jack-of-all-trades which fits neatly between out-fighting Orks and out-fighting Nobz.
Old marines in contrast to me feel like sad necrons with weaker guns who don’t get back up. It sucks.
As for the shucking of everything you held dear, there’s some minor light through the leaves but I wouldn’t call it a silver lining. Essentially, they had copyright issues because courts settled in favour of people making models for things which they had built rules, but not models for. So they hacked out the rules for everything which didn’t have a model. They then took stuff which had very old models and put them in the index, but not the codex (you’ll be able to run it, but it’ll likely be wildly overcosted), and took everything which required a forgeworld upgrade kit and made forgeworld host the rules for them (which is where you’ll find your plasmaback and mortis dreadnought).
But yeah they mildly expanded the space marine line in 7th, but as of 8th it’s essentially all Primaris all the time.
In ME news i’m gonna start rubbing a deathwatch Wrath & Glory campaign so hopefully that’ll work well. So far we have an Imperial fists intercessor, a White Scars tactical veteran, and an undecided Space Wolf.
Very keen to get started.

I had planned to take some chicken to my brother’s house to cook it, so i’d cut up some breasts into strips and marinated it in this ad-hoc cajun spice mix I keep in a jam jar on my shelf.
Anywho, that was a week ago, and I completely forgot about it. Just pulled it out of the fridge and threw it on the pan, reasoning that if it had gone off, the smell of it cooking would definitely tell me. But surprisingly, it seems perfectly fine. I wonder if there’s something about dry rub spices that make meat last longer?

That looks outstanding dude. I kind of want to go and show all of my friends and then deal with the 'no, I didn't do this, but a guy online did. But not like a stranger from reddit, like we know eachother's work, sorta' conversation.
