Just picked up this Maula pistol on Arrakeen for a liter of water. How'd I do?
>>62511677posting in epic le funny bread xD
a liter(jon) of water for a maula sounds like a ripoff deal
Striker fired maulas are garbage.
>no shields (because wurm)>guns and lasers alongside knives>just like the ancient timesVGHRETVRN
>can't afford crysknife>only get shitty captured Tardaukar bladeMy life chips and shatters.
>>62511677>1 liter of waterYou got fleeced, greben dweller. A liter of water can buy you a wife. A true Fremen have no need of pistols. We have our ways.
>>62511677You got ripped off. You could have gotten a whole ass lasgun from Gurney's crew for that much.
>>62512646Redpill me on Fremgirls.
>>62511677Is the barrel supposed to be pointed at the user?
>>62511677buddy a liter of water is like 3 months rent even in a decent area. That shit isn't even a nice model.
>>62512953>odorless because all their bodily fluids are constantly recycled by their stillsuits>will happily accept the gift of your bodily fluids whenever prompted
>>62513312>odorlessobjectively the opposite. they comment on the bestial smell of the fremen sietch multiple times in the books. fremen women would be DISGUSTING.
>>62513444Ha ha, like they would have superhairy vulvas with strong pheremones? Sounds terrible.
>>62513597sounds like something Frank Herbert would get off on, so why not, that's canon too now
>>62513626Yeah that nigga is a freak lolt. Just finished Chapterhouse last week
>>62513661really hated chapterhouse. all of the intrigue and subtlety goes out the window and it just turns into a weird-ass space opera.
>>62513675Yeah the conclusion wasn't that great, but at that point you're too invested in the series to stop reading. Have you read any of his son's books? After the original six, I was just gonna leave the series be, but if they're worth reading I might give it a go.
>>62513779>Have you read any of his son's books?no, heretics and chapterhouse were stupid enough.
>>62513799Yeah, I get that. With Chapterhouse it just felt like with the way they resolved the plot, it could have been done much earlier in the book. I get that Frank Herbert likely wanted to write another book before his deah, but he definitely could wrapped shit up in Chapterhouse better than he did. I'm not upset with having read the series, but the ending left too many loose ends for a six novel run. The sex stuff also got weird towards the end, though Duncan cucking Leto II in God Emperor was pretty lolworthy.
>>62513779The butlerian jihan books gave me canceraids they're that bad
>>62513779no one has ever said a single nice thing about any of them and most dune fans who have read them want to lynch Brian
Leto II was entirely justified in banning shields across the known universeWay more trouble than they're worth
>>62512094>be me>biggest shithead kid in the sietch>reverend mother always saying I'll be eaten by a worm >sneak into dad's yali to look at his crysknife>unsheath it to admire the sharpness of the blade>marvel at the subtle coloration in the dim light>dad catches me>loses his shit>he's yelling something about the needing blood on the blade>wut.shigawire>he stabs mom seven times right in the stomach all the while still screaming at me>sheaths the blade and walks out>reverend mother sends me out innadesert>get eaten by worm
>>62511747>lasersHeresy.
>>62511689>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE FUNNY THREADS YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT /pol/SHIT AT ALL TIMES DESPITE THERE BEING A WHOLE BOARD FOR THAT SHIT NOOOOO!
Lads, convince me not rig a lasgun to fire on a shield generator when these Harkonnenbots start kicking at my door
>>62513779I've stopped reading after God-Emperor once I realized the series had peaked there. Also, God-Emperor ending is way better as the series' ending than Chapterhouse, from what I gathered.
>>62511689Slit your throat and bleed to death
>>62511677Harkonnen trooper here, just learned I'm to be deployed to Arrakis. Any advice from anyone already there? I'm now watching filmbooks to get ready, already got the basics of speaking Arrakeen down. Will the brass shit on me for wanting to be all "hearts and minds" to the locals?
>>62515348That sounds like a decent pest control solution to me.
>>62515408>Will the brass shit on me for wanting to be all "hearts and minds" to the locals?They'll probably just have your squadmates beat you to death.
>>62512094Holy Kek my sides
>>62511689kys 2016 tourist faggot
>>62511677For a hot second I was trying to figure out what desert shithole you could buy guns for a bottle of clean water.
>>62515408>Harkonnen>Hearts and mindsI'm not sure how a Harkonnen trooper isn't an utterly vile thing but I'd gtfo Harkonnen turf somehow someway as you're going to absolutely get iced by your squadmates or CO
>>62513444Just how I like them
>>62513444They aren't wearing stillsuits most of the time in the sietch - and they convert their waste into water in the sietch so go figure
>>62515636>>62515995maybe he means "stab them in the hearts and minds"
>>62511677
>>62515408>hearts and mindsyeah all over the sand
>>62511677You got ripped off, it's missing its spring
>>62513312>the Chani we deservedFugg.
