if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. i've posted about it before; it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thank you!!!

I think its kinda fucked that sometimes a Black Templars fan will randomly go on r/grimdank and post the kind of meme that you would expect to be made up for a strawman argument against Black Templars fans.

Like, come on dude, i WANT my dislike of Black Templars as a faction to just be for petty reasons that has to do with them in the actual setting! Please stop reinforcing the damn stereotypes about their fans!

85% of my dislike for Black Templars comes from their fanbase, to be honest. I think a lot of people dislike them for that reason. Even the regular people who like them completely understand that sentiment.

The only thing I really dislike about them lore-wise is the lack of adequate friction/punishment for their total disregard for authority in one of the most authoritarian regimes in the setting. They coast along way too much for what they get up to.

I've said before that one of my main dislikes with 40k fans is the utter lack of reading comprehension, or reading at all. Or engaging with the lore at all outside of YouTube shorts and memes, and letting that inform them utterly. The loudest parts of BT fanbase often turn that shit up to 11.

Did you know that Sigismund, the great founder of the Black Templars, didn't want to be an astartes? Or a warrior at all? He remained not wanting to be a warrior even after he became an astartes. He didn't like it, and did it for people who couldn't. Did you know he thought remembrancers were extremely brave people for going to battlefields without weapons, and that he admired them? Did you know that he didn't believe the Emperor's crusade would end? Not because of xenos or whatever. Because humanity was fundamentally incapable of avoiding conflict.

Now you know more about Sigismund than the average BT superfan screaming about women and stabbing T'au on Twitter! Feel empowered.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE FOR ITALY

Hey italiani!! There's an official ministry of justice referendum to get same sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couple in being actually married and not just "uniti civilmente". This will grant them the same rights in adoption and stepchild adoption.

Of course the big news arent talking about it so the only way to let it circulate is through spreading the info ourselves.

It needs 500k signatures in 3 months and while that alone will not automatically grant equal rights it will be a HUUUGE step forward in italy, lately quite discriminatory politic.

Here's the link to the referendum! Se siete italiani e potete entrare con lo SPID firmate!

If you're not italian, please spread the word as it might reach someone that can sign!

As a disabled person who's loved LEVERAGE and LEVERAGE REDEMPTION since the beginning - for the characters but also the whole ethos of performing acts that help people against crap systems, it's wonderful to be reminded that it springs from reality.

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
