The more i get into 40k lore the more i realize that practically every scifi takes influence from this universe. The depth is amazing.

[@ruskibot7745]

Battletech beat warhammer to the mechs/Titans by three years. But yeah, we can safely say that the machines of Pacific rim are closer to a Titan that an Atlas

[@themartianmantis2694]

It's often the other way around, 40k took inspiration from a plethora of sci fi universes and built its own identity around that. GW has admitted to taking inspiration from the original Starship Troopers novel formula when creating the space marines and mad max when setting the tone

[@Aegis030]

Guardsman=starship troopers. Necron= terminator Eldar= literally space tolkien, which is why the name change. Tyranid= originally Aliens Dark Eldar=Space tolkien, see Eldar above. It's the other way around my friend. GW admits they take from other ideas, paraphrased..

Na other way around. Which is ironic considering how gw feels the to copyright everything

Oh & btw, why not design in any size a unit where you can climb right into the front office control room, & simply "attach a removable neurological device on your head section" instead of going thru that painful looking augmentation process, hell id like to exit the thing once in awhile to have dinner, take a crappolla, then afterwards smoke a fat blunt & drink a bud for awhile with my girlfriend, hell wouldn't you i mean seriously you must be mentally out there to want to be a PERMANENT physical part of those huge mechanical devices imo.👎

[@thefenrisianssweatshop]

For a more visual and kind of visceral idea of a princeps/Titan relationship read Imperious Dictatio from the Warhammer monthly comics. In which a princeps (Macabee) is killed in action and a princeps cadet (Hekate) is put in to place during battle. No spoilers but it does explain the the titans ghost link better.

[@thedailyruns6046]

Bruh thats lite. Have you read the book where the princeps of a hound titan smells her own shit as a demon took possesion.

[@LukeGeoDude]

History fact: "Princeps" is Larin for "The first citizen". To what we now we now refer as the Roman empire, in early years was called the Principality of Rome. Augustus was referred to as the princeps, for example, instead of the Emperor, though he held that title as well.

[@brightglory5734]

They should put a fallen space marine in these.

[@tywren2486]

Agreed, they have the iron will needed to rein in the AI, and there are at least some who are already entombed in dreadnoughts, which is much the same as being placed in amniotic tank.

[@tywren2486]

As i said, the tech used to implant a critically wounded space marine in a dreadnought is essentially the same as an amniotic tank, so i don't see why not.

[@BlackIronGamer]

Tywren2 a dragoon from Starcraft basically?

[@Kareszkoma]

I wonder thou, if there is a reason why they didnt. Usually there would be a reason why to or why not to. Why use a human instead of a Space Marine? It would be a win-win.. what is the reason for not? Is it the Machine Spirit? Is it the Mechanicum? I wonder.

[@utoro5]

The piloting is really like in NGE. Although in the latter there were all means of manipulation combined: amniotic liquid and hard connection (via the same liquid). Geez, I really would like to become one of those guys! Even though there are no Titans present right now.

Serious question: Is English your first language?

[@Beniled]

This is something I think is caused more by digital communications being more prevalent than verbal. People just are not hearing other people SAY words anymore. Mispronunciation is rampant, I hear it on the radio, YT, fucking movies... People just don't talk that much anymore and so they only ever encounter words in text and never have a chance to say them and hear them to get corrected on their pronunciation...

[@funstuff2006]

@@BeatsNBassNRhymes For them to be doing it 'in his stead,' it doesn't matter that the commander is there, just that they are perfoming a task instead (aha, a clue!) of him. The phrase is ambiguous as used in the video though, so you could be correct.

[@dist0rted320]

[@ardonis99]

yes he did, they tend to repeat the same text in different wording. the video has to be 10 min +. - just like they plug themselves 2-3x a video - remember to like, comment and subscribe. another good example would be when mechanicum came out and they read straight from the codex. used to subb to volts of terra, came here now thinking about going to arch for some quality lore

[@VisionQuest057]

TBH All of them are going to get repetitive - Arch repeats some signature catch-phrase type lines and speech patterns until it grates on you, OneMindSyndicate repeats lines and (most irritatingly) mispronounces a lot of really basic words (like towards the beginning of this video they pronounced "stead" like "steed" when it's supposed to be pronounced like "sted", just like in the word "instead," as well as _repeatedly_ mispronouncing "collegiate"), and every other channel will have some annoying quirk - but overall, as long as you mix them up and don't listen to like five videos in a row from one specific channel, their individual flaws are less obvious and make for a more enjoyable experience. I like OMS's clinical factuality, and I like Arch's humorous, British-accented hyperbole. You just gotta make sure not to _overdose_ on any particular channel or it will inevitably start to annoy you, just like anything else you enjoy, ya know?
