This reminds me of that one virus that would make a window pop up on your desktop and give you 20 seconds until your PC turned off, except you could quickly go into your clock settings, set it back to one year to gain time and run something to get rid of the thing.

I tried to find out what the Warhammer heresy thing was about but the wiki article was longer than the works of Stephen King and Terry Pratchett combined.

I know very little of the setting, but, I'm pretty sure the main idea is that "Everything is heresy, and the punishment for heresy is violent edgelord death with a sword made out of chainsaws."

Close, sometimes they destroy your entire planet as punishment as well.

In the spooky future, FTL travel uses Warp drives which tap into a parallel hell dimension. Basically the plot of Event Horizon. Horrible beings of malevolent energy ("Chaos Gods") live there and feed off all the bad stuff that happens in this universe, and in certain circumstances can reach through and influence what happens in regular universe. Mostly by turning people evil and tentacley.

Turns out when people jump around all the time, those dicks can reach in and really gently caress people up. So after 40,000 years, humans have become fascist space nazis with a side order of religious fanaticism a la roided Spanish inquisition, who truck around stamping out all alien life.

Corrupted humans have turned to Chaos and go around being heretical and spreading their general corruption, so Inquisitors go around playing whackamole by purging everybody who looks a bit off. And that's why there's a lot of heresy and purging.

I'm not into the tabletop or lore, but I do have a lot of time for the general 40k universe in games and so on. It's meant to be absurd and OTT. It's a lot like Judge Dredd in that the setting and everything in it is meant to be ironic and a satirical take, but most people just take it at face value.

I'm playing Warhammer: Vermintide II a lot now and I don't know what any of it is about, except the elf is very annoying.

e: I guess it's not even the same universe as Warhammer 40K??

-in the 80s the company that held the rights to make games for lord of the rings and judge dredd invented its own off-brand lotr, they called that warhammer fantasy battles and it was barely legally distinct but later became its own thing
-the company later mashed up warhammer fantasy battles with a sci-fi dystopia setting pretty much like judge dredd's, they called it warhammer 40000 for the year it's set in
-at the time the employees at the company shared a pub and a lot of pints with british miners who were getting hosed nonstop by the thatcher government
-the employees made the dystopia setting a satire of lovely governments in genera but especially of british, at first it was super orwellian but then it became its own thing and wrongthink turned into heresy
-in the setting so many people accuse each other of heresy before fighting that it's pretty much a catchphrase
....
-30 years later a lot of nerds miss the point

gently caress that's pretty good, there's sometimes even masses of human infantry fighting big alien bugs with pointless wars of attrition too

40k is cool, fun, as long as you just lean into the insanity. One thing I do appreciate about it is that it's one of the few galaxy-spanning settings that actually comprehends the scale of the galaxy.

Also I refuse to believe for one second that a goon of nine years doesn't know every last intricate lore detail of 40k.

This is my third account so actually 16 years. I joined because of the 9/11 thread.

Painting tiny figures and Space Inquisition were literally all that ever managed to seep in.

I always found more people who played Magic than WH or that even read WH. Also there were way more marine nerds than we had navy nerds on the ship which I also found strange.
