I ❤️Kirby
OK, BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING?
EMPHASIS
Imagine all the people who would do the Matrix thing and learn martial arts... Only to gain the wisdom that knowing how to do martial arts doesn't make it any easier when you're fat and out of shape.
I like to think it would be like playing a new game from the beginning vs replaying a game from the beginning and youd still have a big leg up in the knowledge and methodology for training, and a good understanding of the progress you make
I did sports when I was young. I know how to correctly do the exercises, running routines and all that. I'm still not doing it now because all of that knowledge is worth nothing without willpower.
I had gotten to green belt in judo when I was much younger. I still retain that knowledge. It still wouldn't stop my back from going out if I tried to throw someone now and I probably wouldn't win in a sparring match even against a white belt unless they were a child. The point is like GI Joe: knowing is only half the battle.
but you could kick that child's ass i bet
Oh for sure. I could toss little kids all day.
The Matrix thing is only really useful when you go inside the Matrix, where your limits are your mental strength. Outside the Matrix you're still a weedy little person. Look at when Neo and Bane/Smith fought: it was messy, ugly, and the opposite of choreographed martial arts.
Ironically, the matrix is also the one place where you can negate the need for kung fu because you can just alter reality with your thoughts by simply believing hard enough.
I mean a core part of most martial arts is just learning how to control the body.
Knowing how to move would still be a decent advantage for someone like that
People do martial arts to get into shape though.
And those with motivation and willpower do it the old fashioned way. Plenty of people would jump at the chance to take a shortcut like downloading the knowledge into their brain, only to realize knowledge alone doesn't make one a kung fu master.
If you did this with the doctor who wiki you'd probably be clinically insane.
That's basically what happened to Donna
You boyz need to brush up on Ork philozophy. Whatever I do, I try to be at least zome bit Brutal an orz Kunnin.
Only den will a be Right an Proppa.
It’s endlessly funny to me that Orks are among the most brutal, caste-system based, martial strength = legitimate authority, but they are powered by feels.
A Eldar or Guardsman would look at a typical Shoota or Mek built by Orks see a series of parts assembled to a facsimile of the intended device - but it is the Ork’s belief that it will work, that makes it work. In a future where the Imperium will invade whole systems over rumors of ancient human technology that is superior to their creations, Orks pop up from spores and can bullshit themselves to overcome physical laws.
Yep, as a fictional concept they are fascinating. They're less of a nation or a race, but more like an invading self contained ecosystem that makes supply lines obsolete. Their technology is so ridiculous that it's almost useless in other species hands, but they can pillage their enemies weapons to their own advantage. Their entire species social class structure is based on merit, biggest ork is DA BOSS, because it's biologically baked into them.
And if a small Ork becomes Boss, he will get bigger until he's the biggest... Because they all believe he's supposed to, so he does.
“Oh fuck, you’re gonna make me WAAAGH”
They're like lobsters they never stop growing, more they fight bigger they get. It's part of their life cycle, it's like sleep for us.
It's funny how they're basically plants lol
REAL ORKZ BE KUNNIN AN BRUTAL NOT BRUTAL AN KUNNIN
DIS POST WUZ MADE BY DA MORK BALEEVAS
OI I KNOWZ DAT!! I IZ A BADMOON OLDHEAD, BUTZ I GOTZ TO DUM IT DOWN FOR DEEZ HUMMIEZ! DEY NOT READY FOR "DAKKA IZ AZ DAKKA DOZ" OR ANY'TING BOSS GHAZGHKULL IZ YELLINZ ABOUT!!
Am I the only one that spent the day reading kirby lore and found it plain? It's probably me.
It is plain tbh. What makes it feel interesting is that it never explains 99% of the lore. You have to pick up on it through tiny little details in the game. Sometimes it's more blatant, sometimes it's super subtle.
Just reading up on it doesn't give the same experience as "did the incarnation of the limitless void just turn into Kirby for a second there?"
To be fair, knowing the exact rituals and steps to make the demonculaba would leave anyone in a similar state of mind.
i mean....
....goddamn
I was like.. children play this game, how bad can it be.
I don't get the Kirby lore reference at all. Is it actually that deep?
The games aren’t deep per se, but they just get a little tonally weird towards the end given the franchise’s cute presentation. You go from fighting a tree who won’t stop disrupting forest creatures to battling an unknowable alien incarnation of darkness who wants to take over all of reality. The series has a lot of, “Oh no, our friend’s been possessed by a manifestation of pure evil!” plots.
Kirby may or may not be an eldritch god that feasts on the souls of other eldritch gods.
He eats a child at one point.
An eldritch god birthed into existence as a counterweight to the overwhelming darkness of the universe, a force of nature, regardless of intent (I think, it's been years since I took that plunge)
Yes
What's so bad about Kirby?
Kirby is an unstoppable force with the brain of a child. He has killed multiple elder gods, often over nothing more than food. if you want examples, look up bosses like Zero-Two, Marx/Marx Soul, or Void Termina.
The most interesting part about Void Termina is that its core appears to be another one of whatever the hell Kirby is. So we possibly got a glimpse of what Kirby could be if he weren't so childlike and innocent... and not so easily placated with cake.
That's how it starts.
Beats the hell out of the version that requires clicking through 6 separate pictures.
Looks like Steve was introduced to the globes war crimes
Learned what DAOT humanity had to do to survive the fall.
Also what pre-fall Aeldari considered coffee with friends.
Brb about to ruin my day and view of humanity just to build it up again
Just to give things some scale, the longest book series in WH 40k is the hours heresy. It's 60+ books. And that takes place in the 30th millennium, so it's just background to current times lore.
There are more than 300 novels to read, and that's just counting novels. There are also codexes (codecies?), other supplementary books, other game books (like dark heresy), and the many issues of the white dwarf magazine.
How absurd must Kirby lore be then?
To give you a hint, Kirby is actually an eldrich god.
Who eats other Old Ones
