Casimir Radon posted:I might have gotten into tabletop RPGs but the only people I knew growing up who played them were unsavory dorks that I didn’t want to hang with. It’s still mostly these people. There’s a guy I try to avoid at my local nerd shop that’s former army (claims he got a medical discharge) that I’m fairly certain is in at least one incel community online. He referred to various Star Wars characters in one of the games I was playing as “diversity hires” (since they’re women  ) and says poo poo in the discord like “I’m redpilled on [x unit]”. He’s so gross that even the other nerds try to avoid him.

There’s another I used to play games with that fell down the Q hole after I left town. We still haven’t even gotten to the 40k players yet, but my brain did me a solid and doesn’t let those bubble up

Fearless posted:Empire at War and Galactic Battlegrounds also allowed it as well. In fact, the former was oriented mainly on the Empire. I still remember the Rebels in SWG bitching and moaning about how THEY didn't get something similar to the AT-ST as a faction reward. AT-STs eventually got nerfed, but...when you join the plucky guerillas with plot armor, don't be pissed when the authoritarian galactic regime has better/nicer toys.

Here's something interesting I just found out: they turned Team Yankee (mid-80s WW3 fiction, plausibly written by an ex-tanker, then pretty decent early PC videogame) into a miniatures wargame. I've just spent several hours reading all the 1d4chan entries on the units. It seems like the perfect nexus of Amerofascist "I'd have joined up but I'd have punched the drill sergeant" grognard, tankie Warsaw Pactaboo, and 40k powergamer.

The miniature game is probably the same as Flames Of War which isn’t bad.

Like many small American towns, mine had a veteran's memorial in the park featuring a piece of World War II gear. In my hometown's case it was a Sherman tank. No idea if it was a real one that had been decommissioned or just a statue, but the idea of an invading force rolling through town, seeing it sitting there in the park and freaking out has put a smile on my face the last couple days.

Superstitious paratroopers land in Central Park, throw down their weapons and flee from the brazen ghost of Teddy Roosevelt leading a charge with saber and pistol.

In all honesty, we could make a completely separate Idiots Thread that's just full of videos/images of Russians in Ukraine, and it would be huge. Like, man I thought the US military was bad, but holy poo poo the Russians take the cake. No wonder they rely on sheer numbers to accomplish their goals.

I straight up will never forget the video of the Ukrainian guy who stole an abandoned Russian T-72. The horn it had sounded so cute! It's like a '80s Toyota, why did Rusisa go with such a cute sound horn? Why not spend 0.1$ and make a mean sounding horn?
