Okay. Fine. I'll do it.
🕑 Added 2024-12-17 13:55:17 +0000 UTCONE 40K song. ONE.
And for the record, I Wanna Be Melee Infantry was a Sororitas song.
But, idk, I think maybe I could to expand into more parts of the autistic nerd-sphere. So something very on the nose.
Only problem is that 40k is too big to wrap my head around and it always comes back to mushrooms.

Well, there is an audio book - it's not a super technobabble heavy book and they do a good job explaining things I think. But it can still be daunting. :) Another Idea, there is a youtuber named Janovich whom has great like battlefield top down lore review of the Siege of Vraks, that features the Imperial Guard regiment "Death Korps of Krieg". I wouldn't worry too much about lore but either way - I hope you're able to find something to sink your teeth into!

Exactly my problem. Like, exactly. My ADHD is stronger than my tism 😂

That was always my problem with 40k, I’d get some passing reference to a chapter or whatever, be like “hmm that sounds like something interesting to read about” and then open onto a 400,000 word wiki page with jargon hyperlinking to even more thousands of words. 30 open tabs that eventually get archived by Chrome and as much as my ADHD reading can manage and I’m back out until the next time it happens.

Hard agree

The NATO/US militarism and Japanese Mecha fusion makes for a really cool aesthetic.

I feel like that might be a crossover episode nobody was expecting

Hey if nothing else, I'm consistent ^^

I like that it gets the scale right. That's one thing that bothers me about most sci-fi—it's always too small

If it's an audiobook for Marines, I'll check it out

I do like 40k, but I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject for an idea to come screaming into my head
Charli
Well y'all got really excited for this one. Guess that means I have to do it. 🤭
Charli
I think if I wanted to go bankrupt, it would be the Tau. I really like their vibe.

Lemme throw in a Tau mention, love those delulu blubois

Don't force yourself to do something you don't want to; if you are intrigued by 40k and have inspiration, do it. If you don't, then it's going to come across as phoned in.

If you want to keep with the Mecha Theme, you can go with the Imperial Knights. A lot of potential - they fight for honor of their house, their knight, and their imperium. The throne they sit on collects the consciousness of all pilots, so it's the pilot plus hundreds of voices in their head. They lay down their life to defend innocent's and for honor, not afraid to sacrifice themselves if necessary. Being 40K the knights are venerated machines with their own entourage of tech priests to take care of them. If you want, a good book with a good knight story is Assassinorum: Kingmaker.

The God Emperors Imperial Guard could always use some more love.

40K is great, it has Mechs, melee infantry, orbital drop troops, and just an inordinate amount of silliness/over the topness.
Shrooom
I for one, am all for a mushroom based 40k song

The ballad of the Brothers Italiano. Two plumbers drafted into the Guardsmen when Orks (colloquially known as Goombas) attacked. They were the last survivors of their unit, but through courage and ingenuity pushed back the Horde and bought a moment of peace for the House of Peach.

All hail goddess empress charli!

Sadly all my 40k knowledge comes from r/grimdank and If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device.

Id love some 40k jams

Imperial Guard. millions of infantry with a 90% casualty rate in their first year of deployment and by the Emperor they will grind Humanity's enemies into dust
