In the last game I played we had an uncommon rules interaction come up, I want to make sure there's nothing preventing this combination.
The last retributor in my squad was killed in my opponents shooting phase, I rolled the 5+ to Spirit of the Martyr. Using the Multi-melta + two armourium cherubs, I fired the multi-melta three times destroying an enemy vehicle.
Was this played correctly? It seems extremely strong, but something that wouldn't come up probably ever again. Thanks guys.
I want to preface this with the fact that I wanted to write this because I am an anxious person who overthinks everything and sometimes yearn for a more cerebral and lengthy take on this topic. Also TL;DR at bottom.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I try to hold myself to moral standards to live by. I was raised to reach out to my neighbours, to be a good role model to those younger to me, to think of the consequences of my actions and how they effect others. In pursuit of these standards though I've come to find sometimes honouring these values aren't as clear cut as I thought. Maybe its from being naive, privileges blinding me from seeing how things really are, or just coming from a childish place in my youth that made me think I was more altruistic than I was, but being a morally righteous person isn't as easy as some people might have you think. Maybe this is easier for others, and if that's the case I won't be bothered if you just don't read this (because my very point is... well your wrong), but to me living "morally" can become an obsession and for some even an identity that causes you and perhaps others around you more grief than is really due.
What does this have to do with Herpes? Well for me Herpes was the first time that I was faced with what felt like a moral obligation that wasn't ambiguous and was staring me in the face. This wasn't like me ignoring that my shoes were made in China by some 8 year old because literally everything seems to be made by kids in China, or pushing the images of factory farmed cows hung by their feet bleeding out from a shocking video a vegan friend has shown me to the back of my mind so I could eat my Big Mac without feeling guilt. This was the first time that my actions would directly effect someone in front of me and I couldn't run away from it. I can't bury my head in the sand about this one and keep on living my life without hurting someone I care about or at least getting some angry texts.
Its not hard to see that some people do in fact ignore there symptoms and go on living their lives, but when I read on this sub all the grief and anxiety people have around "now I have to disclose to all my partners for the rest of my life" it seems to me almost like a bubble has been burst. I feel that too. I grew up pretty damn excited to have a wet and wild care free sex life like "everyone else is having". Now it seems like POP! I am not a carefree and fun young man living his best life, I am now

Just wanted to share this book, which is admittedly already quite popular. I wondered if many of the people in this sub have not experienced some of the conditioning that the author Alice Miller describes.
The title is a little bleh because I think itβs weird to describe yourself as βgifted,β but she discusses a certain kind of parenting in which children are raised consciously and subconsciously to put the needs of others, starting with their parents and families, above their own in order to βkeep the peaceβ and often to protect the fragile egos of those close to them.
Some of the larger struggles that seem INFJ-like that she describes are:
- inability to truly feel/process and be aware of oneβs own emotions because of habitual suppression and eventual repression
- preoccupation with other peopleβs feelings and protecting them/keeping them happy
- misplaced or unexpected emotions from the past that resurface in the present (often as anger/resentment)
She argues that there are some children who are bright enough or intuitive enough to pick up on their parentsβ insecurities and inner emotional worlds from a very young age. They then become a kind of cushion for their parents, and because young children associate parental love with life itself, they devote themselves to doing things that will make their parents happy, secure and stable, not only out of goodness, but literally to survive.
According to Miller, these children often develop into adults who have difficulty experiencing their own emotions because of habitual suppression and an intense aversion to putting undue stress on others. They, often without realizing, develop false selves that are pre-calibrated to the emotional needs of others, but neglect their own needs which have usually been submerged and neglected since childhood.
I think many of us are empaths, and if you werenβt raised with the consistent and conscious reassurance that your needs matter and itβs okay to have emotions (as ridiculous as that sounds), itβs easy to not set boundaries and to martyr yourself for others. You may be doing this without even realizing. To me a lot of the traits she describes sounded like undeveloped INFJ traits. I started reading this to try and grow, so hopefully this will help other people do the same!

Hey everyone,
while I acknowledge it'll never happen due to a mix of licensing issues and me being the only person who wants it, it struck me how amazing a sequel/expansion where you get just a little more heretical could be.
The way I imagine it, the base game's gameplay could stay almost identical, and they'd only have to add enemy types corresponding to Imperial Guard and Loyalist Space Marines; Chaos can fight Chaos, after all.
CAREERS
I think the most interesting thing would be how they would do the careers. Assuming they don't cop out and have generic CSM, they could have some real fun with having a different playstyle for each of the Traitor Legions and maybe the Dark mechanicum
Alpha Legion: Given their propensity for sneaking and infiltration, I don't know how they'd implement this in-game, maybe having unique bonuses available to the AL character; an enemy squadron turn traitor, or something like that. If they really wanted to go wild, they could play off the fact that you never really know who you're talking to in the Alpha Legion, and have the main character subtly switch out for specific purposed (ie. a tank, a healer, a ranged attacker, melee attacker, etc.) While this would be stupid, it'd also be completely appropriate to the slightly silly tone of the AL Plus, you're Alpharius!
Black Legion: Given their role in the canon, I would put the BL as the most generic, jack-of-all trades start, with the possibility to dedicate yourself to a single god or to chaos undivided for some minor bonuses.
Death Guard: I mean, what better faction to have as tanks than the DG? Combine stupid health with AOE and DOT poison damage, and the Plague Marine could be incredibly fun to play.
Emperor's Children: Aside from the superpower that is warp-cocaine, the EC could have a focus on crowd control via their sonic weaponry and maybe seducing enemies over to your side temporarily? Playing on Slaanesh's caracterisation as the great seducer, and all that? I think they could do something really interesting with the healing system, making it both heal and buff less and less over time, the whole Slaaneshi diminishing returns gambit. No idea how they'd balance it, though
Iron Warriors: Here, they could go either way. Either they could have the Iron warriors as simple heavy gunners in terminator armour, or they could lean into it and have you play an obliterator or a mutilator. Maybe they could have the best of both worlds and have you start as a

In my ususal style. One of the hardest, but also on of my favourite bosses of the game.
So I had read about this movie in a Horror magazine I got for xmas just gone. The premise scared the shit out of me, usually that's a sign that I should check it out and I finally did.
Basically I suffer from chronic depression, it gets to the point where I don't feel anything, so I watch horror films to bring me back up basically. Plus Horror is a genre that explores pain and trauma, it can allow catharthis to those who are suffering. This is why I chose to watch Martyrs.
Which brings me to what it made me feel. I felt horror, disgust, fear, anger, sadness, intrigue, anxiety, and I nearly shed a tear toward the end of the film. There's an insane amount still going through my head, you know when you have to process a film? Like frame by frame. The sheer amount of violence in this film was A LOT, I'm generally getting better with dealing with gore and blood, but some films for me go too far. The themes of guilt and trauma, anger and bloody revenge were pretty evident, I feel like this allowed me to deal with the visual nasties. Which there were a lot of.
The actors were all fantastic, I can't imagine what working on that film must have been like. But there was real emotion and soul in the performances.
The way it was shot created tension from the get go, the eratic and often frantic steady cam motion which accompanied Lucie complimented the actresses work superbly. I felt her trauma, visceral and raw, I felt her anger as she wailed over the dead body of her captor. The guilt monster was terrifying too.
There's obviously tonnes more to discuss but I felt like I needed to share what I experienced. What's everyone's opinion on the film? Anyone seen it a second time?
I made a vlog video every day on the trek. It has an episode for each day, and follows the ups and downs of long distance trekking in the remotest corners of the most amazing place on earth. The first episode premiers on YouTube on Saturday, but here's a trailer:

The concept of the Great Himalaya Trail is to follow the highest elevation continuous hiking route across the Himalayas. The Nepal section stretches for 1,400 km (900 miles) from Kanchenjunga in the east to Humla in the west. It winds through the mountains with an average elevation of 3,750 m (12,300 ft), and up to 6,200 m (20,300 ft), with an average elevation change of 1,600 m (5,250 ft) per day. The route includes parts of the more commercialised treks, linking them together with sections that are so remote even the locals seldom hike there.
