This isn't unique to the corpo world, but working an adult corpo job has really put it into stark focus: 80% of the arbitrary nonsense you deal with is bc someone who was good at making money decided they were also good at something they knew nothing about

Gross update on a gross model (Sculpting a Nurgle gloss on an NSMiniatures Plague Giant, 3-D printed)

Model of a gaunt giant, about 5" tall, covered in growths; his left arm is missing. A distended gut, with blistered and necrotic skin, has several ropey innards emerging; some are connected to the stump of his left arm, one is wrapped around his back and drapes over his right shoulder, and 4 extend forward from his body as though they're grasping for something.

And gonna do some Nurgle daemons in my 3k list, so I'm building out a hierarch Although at the rate GW is releasing Chowss daemons, I might have an official Nurgle list by the time this is done

A 3-D printed plagued giant. He is missing an arm and wields a tree as a club; his base features World War One-style trench bags.

The same printed giant; he has had wires added, hanging from his missing left arm and connecting to his stomach, as if his innards are connected all wrong. Putty has been added to make his torso look rotted and distended.

More wires have been added to the giant. Several wires protrude from his stomach, as though his innards are grasping. Another, longer wire hangs from his gut; it runs behind him and is draped over his shoulder.

Doing some 30k stuff. About 1000 points for my slow-grow league; Death Guard.

Several 30k astartes models, all base-colored white over a rust primer. Shown are 20 tactical marines, 10 breachers, 10 special tacticals with alchem flamers, 2 quad-launcher rapiers, a Contemptor dreadnought, a vigilator and a siege-breaker in cataphractii terminator armor.

Many options that are just tweaks of standard gear, so many choices are masquerading as statistical when they're actually aesthetic Plug many of the loadouts into a spreadsheet and it quickly becomes apparent that much of the granularity offers no meaningful difference

So 30k so far has been fun, but I'm also playing with people who are as new to this edition / have the same history with 3rd-7th 40k as me, so games are just hard enough to pick up for everyone that no one's getting blown out by the mathematically superior options But mein Gott the loadout bloat

"harm reduction" in electoralism doesn't even exist; it's a pivotal concept in addiction recovery in electoralism ppl use it to gaslight cuz it's never about what harms ppl are willing to suffer themselves; it's always about harms ppl want others to suffer—harms they will never have to endure
