One thing I've been meaning to ask is what was the source you had for the necron-eldar cooperation to seal off the warp that you mentioned in your dark origins videos? Try as I might I never managed to find the BL book or codex that was from.

But would the Imperium want to be changed? Probably not. Should it? Yes

Game looks neat! I'm glad they were wise enough to sponsor the Loremaster!

@@anguscampbell3020 Its suggested but not confirmed in Wild Rider. When there is evidence discovered of their cooperation.

@@Luetin09 Awesome thank you so much.

As interesting a criticism as that is, and much as I agree with, Luetin’s discussions adds depth and a unique subjective standpoint that is hard to come across, making it the perfect STC model for navigating the 40k verse

@@yanntrokhymenko9775 yup fully agree. while it is true that some self defending of his position is redundant, it does add to the fun of the video because the writing that Luetin does is just very high quality one.

@@Bleiser3 i think I've heard it in 4 videos in as many years

Th imperium is under assault from from blackrock and vanguard. We now how to gate keep WH40k from GW itself who are bringing a Dark age of Diversity upon us. Get ready for female custodes and space marines fellas. Gw just announced the lady custodes "have always existed"

So true, i think he needs to do like a Final Word video on his position and close the book on it.

Space Travel Camouflage

Cloaking in general. Dark Age of Technology might not have had the foresight to be so specific in their hiding.

Right? And humankind living on these cloaked worlds caused the mass birth of psykers (warp bleeds through), breaking the cloak, mass demon infestation everywhere because warpgods playing games blabla. Backlash of planetary warpdampeners breaking everywhere indirectly help create Slaanesh. Sounds pretty canon to me. I should write a book.

I love the idea of a shadow human empire hiding from the threats of the galaxy in their own self contained bubble

​@@generalalduin9548 oh man, my first thought is of people hiding in a submarine. 😬

This was something I heavily researched a while ago, its interesting to hear some of the solutions that are being worked on now

The Romans came very very close to developing a sustainable power source just before the fall and the dark ages using water mills. They used it to power saw mills with hydropower and were developing other uses for it, coming close to some ground breaking stuff. In first century AD there was a “steam engine” that could provide torque but was never really put into any useful purpose. Believe it was called an aeolipile or something like that. The burning of the library of alexandria was also a devastating blow to human knowledge. It is quite incredible to consider what the world would be like without the dark ages. Likely steam engines and the Industrial Revolution could have occurred centuries if not nearly a millennia before it did in our timeline if not for the the fall of the west and the proceeding dark ages. And you are right, we could very very quickly lose centuries of knowledge in a couple of generations if we can’t find a solution to preserving it. One thing that is quite depressing as well is we are so focused on producing goods to meet demand right now with no concern for longevity, for the most part products are made with the intention of failing, breaking or falling apart in a certain time span to encourage you to go out and consume more products. Almost everything in our modern day is only produced to last just long enough to not be a complete scam, hence why products made before the 80’s and 90’s are likely to still be around for another generation or two while items we use right now probably won’t make it past a couple of decades.

Great point! I think this is one of the things that W40k gets simultaneously wrong and right: the narrative of a past imperfectly recorded and dimly recalled is one of the things that makes w40k so compelling. Your point just underlines how quickly our stored history and knowledge is already rendered unrecoverable. At the same time, 40k writers seem to work against this view. The recent lore in novels and campaign books seems to hit the wrong notes constantly. The Imperium is consistently shown as having far too much knowledge of it's own past. In one recent Black LIbrary novel a character-a regular Imperial citizen, not High Lord or similar-makes a casual reference in conversation to Drakan Vangorich, who was alive in M32. That's 10,000 years before the present of the characters. To underline this, it's like me making a reference to an individual from the Stone Age-and you getting who I mean! The same goes for the repeated references to 'Shakespire' and quotations from 20th century poets and the like. Even when the Lion returned, why did not one person ask, "Who is Lion El'Johnson?" Other older books where Imperial citizens couldn't name a primarch beyond Sanguinius, or had only a dim idea of what they even were felt far more convincing. Rick Priestley said a while back in an interview that the 41st Millenium was originally chosen as the setting because it was so insanely far in the future that all knowledge of humanity's distant past could be assumed to be lost. He bemoaned the subsequent detailed documentation of the Horus Heresy and the primarchs etc saying the setting had lost what he referred to as the concept of 'deep past'. For me it not only robs the setting of mystery, but it just feels deeply jarring and at odds with what feels more likely.

Yeah, it's truly staggering. There's so many scales on which storage of information balances. Carving it into rocks, especially immovable ones in an area protect from erosion would probably see them last the longest, but they're difficult to access and impossible to transport. Oral traditions have drift in the information being relayed. Books made of acid-free paper or vellum/parchment are a good compromise for longevity and transportability but they will eventually require copying and could present another chance for drift. And the more modern your method of transcription the more complex the playback method becomes. It's what makes video game preservation so difficult. Sure you can emulate the software, but the intended experience was on an arcade cabinet or a system you wired into your TV with coaxial cable.

No, that's not the best we have. Just laseretch your data into a sheet of gold. It will stay that way (unless physically destroyed of course) forever. Now, having the means of extracting that data again might be difficult once you were bombed into the stone age, but it would still be there anyhow.

All hail

Calling it an “algorithm” is being way too generous if all it entails is getting as many comments as possible.

With STC's being sentient, the asterisk could be that the STC's themselves don't think M41 humanity is worthy of the knowledge and power of a functional STC.

MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH

Sweet liberty!

The Creek broke before the Helldivers did.

Super Earth and Managed Democracy are heresy. Holy Terra and our God Emperor are the true path.

There's a mechanic that prevents death in that game called Democracy Protects, and it's real obvious what parallels it's making. I love it. You can replace "The Emperor" with "Democracy" and be perfectly in character just making Warhammer 40K callouts. Try it some time, it's fun!

It might just scale up the Gellar field STC to stomp down on warp fluctuations locally

I would imagine an Inquisitor getting curious and investigating the planet. It might end better than expected if the Mechanicus are smart about it.

@BrotherRoga my plan from an adventure design standpoint is that the stc has whatever killed off the original city bottled up in a cave somewhere. When people start investigating it might let it out again. I hadn't decided if that was a flayer cult or pox walkers or what. From a lore standpoint I can't let the stc survive this adventure and become known to the galaxy. One way or another it's gotta go. So it has to be paranoid and reactive

@@gragsmash Trazyn could pop in and "collect" the entire scene at the end to clean up your lore implications.... "They haven't made one of those in twenty thousand of your years, I honestly did not think any more of them existed. Please gather around the artifact and take a defensive position.... Your presence will complete the display." After all, Trazyn's just "Diorama Dave" from down at the shop without the spending limit - "It will look awesome in my collection" is all the reason he needs for pretty much anything. P.S. Bonus awesome points if you actually make a diorama out of the STC chamber, with the right models in the right livery that you can whip a sheet off of when Trazyn's stasis bomb goes off. P.P.S. Best shop I ever played at was run by a "diorama dave" - an impartial judge that doesn't play, with an eye for distance, angle, and FOV who made little dioramas instead of trophies for narrative tournaments. (Sgt. MacChainsword, of the "they're all going to die, why should I bother" chapter, in his flat grey primer, splattered with the most amazingly detailed and painted spray of 'Nid gubbins and juices still makes me smile even though it's been 20 years since I've seen him.)

Listen bro. If Horus can now potentially return, If we now canonically, have titstodes, Then Dorn is very much gonna come back.

Unfathomably based. Remember, perturabo took three days to read all of mars’ knowledge. Dorn took a week.

⁠@@phase_shifter1375think it was the pariah nexus book that came out kinda recently.

Especially relevant with today's events in the Middle East. Iran used the F-5 in the early 2000s and rebuilt a fighter based on the design that is part of their Air Force. All the military people laugh at using such an old design but the same people are also very aware our military is so technology dependent that the F-35 without access to data or its own computer systems not working would drop from the sky like a 70 million stone.

@@garretth8224 Indeed, the whole series is set in the Sabbat Worlds, with a focus on Urdesh in the last few novels. I recommended the background book because it gives a bird's eye view of the region's history and because I'm more of a background guy myself.

I don't see how thats more relevant thaan STC type stuff.

@@Sara3346 One day there magically appeared female custodes while GW frantically claims there always were... Unless STG now stands for "shut the gate", I respectfully disagree.

Yea, GW is only ever slowly losing their fight against chaos corruption. it gets worse by every year.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think Luetin is going to be super upset about the Femstodian. He explained in this video about the whole RetCon thing, and how lore is constantly tweaked and revised and that is to be understood as part of the character of 40K history and lore. I don’t see why having a few female Custodians inserted into the history is causing so much anger. My facebook feed is stuffed full of people losing their shit about it. Why does it matter so much?

@@sickofwashington What's ''magical' about it? There never was a statement that they didn't exist in canon. This hardly even as large a revealation as custodes in general becoming active outside terra, or primaris marines, etc.

Wait why?

Can you time stamp?

@@jamesamos6565 3:03

Oh no, something you don't like but most people just shrug about and move on happened. Bruh, there have always been women space marines. why would custodes actually be different? (before you clutch your pearls, it's true. there used to be female space marines figures, and neckbeards also got mad about it then and they didn't sell well at the time (80's) and GW removed the casting molds from the production - this is real, and happened before "the lore" that's being so violated was even written) If you don't like it, you could stop playing warhammer. _That'll show em!_ I personally know several people who are way, way more into warhammer than i am who are super excited about it. I genuinely don't care, and given how dogshite GW has _always_ been about lore continuity, I'm just not sure why there being female custodes matters in the grand scheme of things.

I don't understand why that is at all important.

​@Sara3346 because things as they are matter, and make the setting what it is. Changing them for the pure purpose of having equality is political, and therefore dangerous and antithetical to the setting we love.

@@jfwizard1 Mate there is no such thing as apolitical writing, it's like seeing a unicorn in a garden. People just don't complain about the policial messages they like or due to under education fail to notice. This doesn't even contradict anything established. Robute Guillimen coming back to life was much more setting breaking and far more blatantly political than this and yet the moaning about that is much less.

There was a time where nerds just wanted to be around a woman, ANY woman. Now? Not so much. Dudes are afraid of em so much that they can’t even stand to have them in their fantasies lololololololll

It's typical human selfishness to hide things that would benefit humanity as a whole. If the planet is ever mentioned again, I won't be surprised if it was wiped out by Tyranids. It would fit into the grim dark of 40k. All the knowledge lost because they were selfish. Also the Imperium having access to a fully functional STC would make them OP.
