Orks truly know how to embrace the true feelings of peace and happiness. They're the only ones having fun. Just like their tabletop players. Sometimes to be at peace with oneself, even on the battlefield, is to just shoot. Shoot what? Who cares, just make your shooting phase as long as possible. Fun through all the dakka!

We have a player in our D&D group who has horrible luck like that. We even let him play with weighted dice on purpose to help him out, but he decided to just use some regular dice because he thought they looked cool and were a gift from a friend. In our last session we fought an ancient dragon because my level. 6 rouge/bard accepted a challenge from one (he’s a bold fellow) and to everyone’s shock and amazement his character (a war-forged paladin) absolutely dominated in that fight. He got like three crits in a row and dealt hundreds of points of damage. It was incredible for someone who normally rolls nat 1s constantly even with weighted dice. I’m sure his back must be hurting from carrying the entire party in that fight.😂

[@SpiritoftheWolf28232]

Whenever life gets me down there's always a single word I say to myself. It keeps me going, keeps me sane, reminds me that there are times in life where the worries and wiles of this world have no hold over me. This word has lifted me up from my deepest depression, calmed my hottest anger, and cured my heartbreaking sadness. That word is WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

I've been waiting to watch your Ork video on your Orc Big War Boss dude for a bit, finally got around to watching it and sent me down a rabbit hole of your Ork content. It's been weirdly insightful and helpful. Despite not knowing anything of Warhammer 40K I found this very enjoyable. As a fan of flamethrowers and Shotguns to a fan of big guns, Dakka.

[@graywolfdracon]

I feel your pain. I also have rolls that are legendary for how bad they are. But you're right, it's the time you spend with friends that's truly important. There will always be another game and if not do you really want stress to ruin your last game? Thanks for bringing us on this journey with you. Looking forward to what's next.

[@Cerebrum123]

As someone who has more recently gotten into the Warhammer franchise, I'm glad you are making these videos. I don't play tabletop, yet, but I enjoy most of the games whether classic Warhammer or Warhammer 40k. I'm also glad that you've found something that helped with the problems you were dealing with.

[@matrixiekitty2127]

Man did this advice come at a really good time. I’ve been so bogged down by trying to juggle everything I care about and feel I should care about, and in the end I just end up trying to care about everything. But when you’re so overwhelmed by it all you have no energy to care about anything!! Then you just feel like a heavy blanket, you’re not sure wtf to do or how to feel and then you can barely be there for the things that really matter. It’s a really hard struggle, but I hope I can find at least one thing where I feel like I don’t have to care, I can be fully in the moment and not stressed about the end outcome. Maybe it’ll start breaking away at my stress and teach me how to just let go and stop caring so much.

Orks don't care about winning or losing, they just care about the fight. If they lose, it means they just get to fight again later. And an ork that dies fighting, dies happy.

[@MrRaptorcrafter]

This is another video that has been helping me settle and feel happy. I just recently picked up the 40K Hobby (Tyranids) and the painting has been amazing and the games have also been awesomely as well! I'm exited to make my own cool Hive Fleet eventualy. I even ran into one of my first games where me and my opponent rolled terrable and it was funny as hell and I'll keep that memory for a while. So you enjoy your DAKKA and I'll enjoy my Tyranids chaging the backline trying to stab!

Thank you, Gaijin. Your channel is one of my favorite channels in all of KZbin, and this episode is a helpful reminder, as I myself have been going through a lot of stress about what I can & can't control.

[@richardwilliams9130]

Dude, I can't tell you how much I needed this. This year, I've been dealing with so much stress, from dealing with customers at my job at Dollar Tree and not letting them down and annoying my coworkers by being myself, to not annoying everyone at my program and making my friends mad at me by...again...being myself. I've even been trying to consider following my dream to become a KZbinr and even making my own Fire Emblem Iron Man marathon and Pokémon Franchiselocke by trying to do what others do to make them successful, but all it did was cause me stress. However, it's thanks to this video that I realized I shouldn't worry about other people and just enjoy things that I like because I simply like them. Even though it won't be instantaneous and Sunday onwards, there will be a huge chance of relapsing into old habits, hopefully this new mindset might set me on the right track to becoming healthier.

This is a big reason (one of many) as to why I'm building an Ork force, because I recognize that I care about winning and my chronic dice curse way too much. I love your fishing analogy.

[@KuroChiShikaku]

Been a little over ten years and a single game from an ork boss at a tournament is my local store's go to for warning new players about just this problem with a dice game. Nothing like seeing the last two nobs in a squad fire their sluggas into a two man squad of termies (back when they were 1w) two dice only, both hit and wound, termies roll ones, store goes wild. He lost the game but had the best story of the day. The moral we tell with it is that the games may go badly even in a tournament setting, but nobody remembers those, you remember the nail bitting moments that get the blood pumping. So don't worry about the win, just have fun. So glad to see you found your way through that rut we all end up in at some point from rule changes and embraced the Ork side that cries out for more wagh. 💚

[@EclipsePheniox]

I haven't played in a while, I prefer the building and painting aspect of miniatures, but it's always good to see and hear about how games like 40k bring good vibes to people. Sometimes we just need to let go of our worries and live for ourselves, tell the world to buzz off and focus on ourselves. It's interesting to see how Orks are doing that for people and bringing them into this little game of personal armies battling.

Might not be the same but I had my awakening to daka in the first tom clancy division game. There's a gear set called lone star, which was built around the idea of sustained fire. Basically, you had unlimited ammo, and the more you blasted bullets, the harder your bullet hose hits. So yeah, my favorite thing in that game was just holding left click till everything stopped moving, the serenity after the guns stop ringing was euphoric.

[@dimreaper8883]

theses videos remind me of a point in lore where an eldar philosopher said that orks where the pinnacle of creation because unlike everyone else in the galaxy they're happy.

[@joinmarch76]

I gotta admit, I've grown to appreiciate the Orks of Warhammer 40K. And I got you to thank for it, Gaijin. I first saw those two vids with Mordo playing Mr. Headrippa, and didn't think much of it at first. I just thought it was Star Wars meets World of Warcraft. And...I was partially right, but mainly in the sense of 'Holy crap, this is friggin' cool!' I love the Ork clans, the way they shoot off their gob so to speak, and especially how you can create all kinds of maddeningly flashy boys and gits that can blow the enemy away before you even get the chance to take aim! It helps that your life lessons vid helped me quite a bit with my mental state. I'm glad the Orks are doing you right, man. Let the WAAAAGH! be your guide.

[@KorteCoder]

Hey Gaijin, Long time no see, work and life have kept me away from the streams but hearing all the passion and fun in your voice has got me wanting to stop by and see some stuff live. Hope to see you soon KorteCoder

[@colbybastian17]

There's a beautiful Dakka parallel with this and an old PBS Idea Channel video on how bullet hells are zen. For those who don't know, the individual projectiles that cover the screen in bullet hell games are also called dakka. In that video, he talks about how in the sheer proliferation of data it's basically impossible to separate it all into individual points of information and comparison. You have to go into a flow state in which you perceive the entire field as one contiguous thing. You allow yourself to respond instinctually rather than consciously. Just a fun, coincidental comparison I thought was relevant!

man i remember one of my best victories against an ork player way back in 5ed i used to play space marines, there was a big campaign in the local store going on, iirc i had recently had a CRUSHING defeat against a dark eldar player, even with weapons that are better against them i get CRUSHED great ork player asks for me to play against them, we set up the board and one of the objectives is my customised shadowsword superheavy tank, these big buys can only happen around my birthday or xmass now im a teen at this point in life, i can barely afford to buy kits so all my units are SUPER upgraded and every so often i can buy a single SM bike so most of my units are infantry or bikes against someone thats played longer then me and has a job to actually buy models this battle though was a good battle, despite not realy having the right units for a defensive battle, the numbers to hold off the orks and against a veteran player i was BEATING orks in melee with marines, now in 5ed there was no such thing as primarus and they all had 1 wound so im fighting orks off with normal marines, scouts, SM bikes and scout bikes it was like the god emperor himself and blessed me that battle to pull of a win, what a game

[@clayrodriguez_author]

As a thousand sons player with terrible dice luck, i feel your pain of always rolling low. I also get the zen of playing just for fun. I lose a lot, but I'm just hanging out with friends so it's worth it. In the end, it's a game meant for fun. But those highs of good rolls can be something. My crowning achievement will always be getting a wound against a custodes captain on a hover bike with a blue horror, the last man standing in his squad. It only did one wound to a full health model but the sheer odds of it happening were just so amazing me and my friends took pictures to celebrate it cause we knew no one would believe us. Just playing for fun makes the lows just casual smack talk and the high so much better for it.

[@mrCris811]

I was the same way with my gunpla model kits before I got to that hobby I was at my worst point in my life then I watched Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans and that's what gotten me into watching the rest of the anime which in turn lead to building gunpla. It was a distraction at first but then it turned into a hobby to the point where I buying kits faster than I can build them

I just finished putting together my 3000 point Ork army last week, gotta say putting them all together and painting them all within the span of 2 Months has been so relaxing and so fun that now that I’m starting to kitbash units from scratch.. yeah it’s safe to say I’m a little addicted. XD On a side note, my favorite model in my army isn’t my Mega Warboss or my Stompa, it’s one of my Standard Boss Nobz leading a squad of Boyz. Named him “Boss Babah” and wrote up a story about how he’s an aspiring Barber, Scalping his enemies and stickin’ em on his Boyz’s heads “Cuz Orks wear it bettah!” I recently repainted him and changed his black jacket to a White jacket complete with red and blue Barbershop swirls~ and all of his Boyz in his 20 Ork Squad are all my most unusual or goofy of my army and I love them for it XD

[@DrVesuvius70]

Unique among the 40k factions, Orks are all about just letting go and unapologetically having fun, both in-lore and as a player IRL. Loretuber Occulus Imperia has a video on orks called The Waaagh Effect which I'd encourage you to check out. Specifically at 24:15 there's a section of Ork dialogue whch spells out their philosophy. I reckon you'll find it really resonates for you. "All I has to do to win at bein' me is.... be me. Be an Ork. Batter stuff. 'ave a massive larf battering it. " You've got a really good handle on the Zen of Orkiness and the positive mental health effects. It's exactly what drew me to them when I started looking at 40k/OPR

[@jordansalt6709]

I can relate to your initial pains with Orks, especially in the shooting department, 5 ups, typically 4 strength with no AP can feel like such a curse especially when everything else can just get ya and slice your armour beyond defending but our toughness is grand though 💪. For a while all that stuff nearly made me regret playing Orks, a friend of mine, a fellow Ork lover switched to a different army while I felt I was in too deep and kept trukking along and you know what after a while, after playing more games and trying to role play the Orks to an extent, being Kunnin and being Brutal as I could be, seeing every battle as a good scrap whether win or lose I started to love it. Don't get me wrong a win always felt good and a really bad lost could still feel meh because it would be more like the party bus came to a stop rather than someone stealing my glory. As I've gotten more to grips with the game I've gotten really familiar with my boyz and how best to help get them stuck in and krumpin and unleashing Dakka and I couldn't be happier in my games. Just wish Ghaz was a little cheaper to field or at least had a bit more to him, he still hits like a Stompa and I find Mikari hilarious though will take any opportunity to field them though. PS if you ever want to play let me know 👀

[@Jungos4life]

As someone who plays Evil Sunz Orks, I completely understand the frustration and anger that bad rolls can get especially if you have massive Mork(or Gork)anauts being completely annihilated at Turn 1. I wanted to quit the Tabletop game entirely because of my Terrible Bad luck rolls and RNG but seeing this and realizing how silly it was to be mad at something I had NO control over, this really helped open my eyes. I'm definitely gonna go back to playing with my Boyz and show everyone DAT RED ONEZ GO FASTA!!!

[@Twisted_Logic]

I don't play tabletop war games, but man do I relate to a lot of this video. I'm notorious among my friends for having terrible luck with dice outside of the rare exceptional session where I become a god roller. I usually lose at least two characters per campaign despite playing safe whenever possible. I just sort of accept it as part of life. And on the competitive side, I've been playing fighting games competitively for a decade, and have always had mediocre results. I always go 0-2 or 1-2 in bracket despite almost always having close games. I can just never quite cinch out the W. And what you described is more or less the same mentality I have. I'm not there to win, I'm there to have fun with old friends in an environment where they're encouraged to do their best. Fishing with the boys is a good analogy, but I've always likened it to Cheers. It's a time and place to get together and get away from it all for a while

[@MasterrangerABR]

As a tau player, some of my favorite memories from this game are either both side just go with it or wait... WHAT moments. In reverse order a stealth suit killing a mawloc with a melee attack, and a battle ending in a pyrrhic victory for me because we ran out of time.

As an Ork player that primarily identifies as a Blood Axe Dread Mob collector I agree entirely with the Goff/Beast Snagga heavy bias currently. I've not been looking at the rules lately but Beast Snaggas (as cool as the models are) are way too low-tech for my weird science walker army and when every Ork army I see seemingly Beast Snaggas or a bucket of black and white Orks, seeing your shooty Bad Moons is a breath of fresh air! I also love the Artel W TF2 Soldier Ork in your army. I bought one myself because I loved the sculpt and I am currently painting his mob-mates. I primarily collect Adeptus Mechanicus and I still consider the 10th edition rules for them a vandalism offence, but your message to adopt a more carefree attitude like my Orks has a lot of merit. Most of all I like painting and showing off my models more than actually playing the game and I should remember that. Thank you for your message, I have to remember it more often.

Really love the video!! Though I have a question that's been bugging me for a while Where is his Wife? I Remember She was a prominent part of his KZbin channel, but now She's not active anymore and i'm just curious what happened to her?

[@GaijinGoombah]

We got sick of people hating on her.

I absolutely know the pain man, i really wanted to play a monk in d&d and constantly had bad rolls on everything regardless of what i did. Even after the group dropped me i still want to play because i think its a really fun game.

Heh, propa kunnin' an' morky... might be a bit of Blood Axe in dem flashy gitz. Good to hear you're becoming a real Ork player. The Fandom needs more of us. Remind the other players that we're playing a game.
