Is life in the Imperium of Man really like this?

Would you rather take your chances on living on a random 40K imperal world, or live in india?

>>98600398
Ah fuck. Uhh, what time period in the Imperium? Do I keep all of my current knowledge?
>>
>>98600398
Do I get to maintain my current IQ or go down to Indian average?

Probably india either way. Easier to get out to europe or north america than it is to get off a hive world.

He said Slaaneshi corrupted world. In other words an imperial would gradually falling to Slaaneshi's corrupting influence. >>98600161 is the sort of stuff the Inquisition exists to hunt down a stop.
>>
>>98600435
Imperial nobles use sex servitors, I don't think putting a guy in a pit and having his head harvested is above and beyond anything we see the Imperium do constantly.
>>
>>98600435

There are literally Inquisitor factions that encourage this sort of shit
>>
>>98600421
>Do I keep all of my current knowledge?
Would you really want to?

I feel like living in the Imperium with full meta knowledge of the setting would make it so much worse, and basically guarantee you'd be tempted to do something that would get you possessed/executed.

Say what you will about this flick, but it was a visual feast and had some great decaadent, late-stage Imperium aesthetics (well, more like the other way around, but you know what I mean).

Nothing shown in Caligula would be out-of-place on an Imperial noble house ceremony, high on the upper spires. Chaos is meant to be unfathomably worse than such basic stuff like a giant, moving wall of death. You need to enhance your imaginations.
>>
>>98600461
If I play my cards right though, I could probably get the admech or the inquisition to take me under their wing and live out the rest of my days in relative wealth. In India I would just be fucked though, the only upside would be death wouldn't be as awful.

Humans ARE the pajeets of the 41st millenium anon (We are 50,000 year old civilization saaar/ Respect our religion saaar/ Bloody benchood basterd eldar bitch I send you nudes, why you no sent me bobs and vagene?!)

>>98600199
The spectacle is okay, but Slaanesh corruption is way more creative than “bury person up to neck, cut off head with spinny blade”. They’d slowly inject each square inch of your body with corrosive acid (starting with your dick) to a skipping Nightcore track while flooding the small box you’re in with the compressed fumes from 50 years of chili fairs. Then nurse you back to health to do it again. Slaanesh would despise the monkey-brained mindless brutality. Save that for the Khornebabies.
>>
>>98600531
The majority of humans in 40k live in industrial trash holes polluted with chemicals and biological hazards, hygiene is a constant battle.

It was meant to be this big historical epic loaded with shock content.

Oh, so it is for middle schoolers. Unfortunate.
>>
>>98601222
That's one way to put it. Caligula is 60% movie 40% hardcore pornography with full penetration and cum in mouth on camera, and had a theatrical release
>>
>>98600199
>>98600182
>>98600398
This isn't related to India at all. It's from the film Caligula and is about an account where the Romans would behead Christians with a giant mowing-like device though there's no real historical evidence it happened
>>
>>98600820
>middle schoolers?
Yes?
Caligula is just a shit movie however.
>>
>>98600161
I'm not going to say that this movie is accurate by any means, but it was simply ebin movie.
>>
>>98600161
Symbolically yeah it is except more sci-fi and more gruesome according to lore.
GW isn't very big on depicting the sexual side of Slaanesh in Warhammer 40k or AoS.
Anyone's guess to why might be true. I think they're trying to keep 40k as close to PG13 as possible so they only hint at the sexually degenerate side of Slaanesh or be coy with it through euphemisms or "subtle" descriptions.
The justification might be to let the reader's imagination make the scenes more graphic, but to me it feels like executive order from management to keep things PG13 as possible so they focus on other things like art and excess gluttony.
I think the sexually degenerate side of Slaanesh needs to be explored in detail really. Maybe that was in Warhammer crime and horror where the not so PG13 stuff was shoved in. I think those labels failed though.

>take your chances on living on a random 40K imperal world
trick question. most 40k imperial worlds are sparsely populated and mostly chill for most of the time. most PEOPLE live in utterly horrible hive megacities on planets so polluted you can't survive outside, and any given imperial world is liable to get skullfucked by some chaos shenanigans or a space invasion every couple of centuries, but most WORLDS are pretty chill most of the time.

They're afraid of credit card companies. That's it, that's the answer to why pg 13.

Why? You don't know anything they don't already know, and the broad strokes you do that they don't would last you maybe a single conversation.

I wish the lore explored more the everyday life of civilians in hives or other Imperial worlds. I find it much more interesting than Marine wankering.
All the stuff in Eisenhorn about eating in restaurants or interacting with the various strata of Imperial society is fascinating.
>>
>>98602696
Caligula, Nero and Domitian have a tendency to get rolled up into the same guy.
>>
>>98602884
That's one of the reasons why I love the RPG sourcebooks from FFG, they are a real treasure throve of info and ideas about how life in the Imperium actually looks like, on various planets and in various social strata.
>>
>>98602884
Those little nitbits are fascinating, I would also love to see more of the everyday life of the regular smuck on an imperial world, but maybe something other than a hive or a forge world,

Like a civilized world or better yet, a colony frontier world, always wondered what it's like for someone who gets the chance to live on a world that isn't some heavily polluted shithole or forced to work 6 to 8 hours in a factory to then be lobotomized into a servitor for having a lunch break longer than one minute
>>
>>98600398
Theres a very high chance of ending up on a boring but otherwise comfy agri-world or one of the less densely settled urbanized worlds, so definitely 40K.
And while living in a hive fucking sucks, you can't say that it isn't exciting. India somehow manages to not even be interesting, its just jeets rotting in their own poop and having Izzat fights all day.
>>
>>98603381
Anon, agri-worlds are nothing but comfy; all you're going to be doing is growing and harvesting corn!

But it's probably better than being in India, also, when we are going to get a Warhammer 40k farming simulator game
>>
>>98603449
>agri-worlds are nothing but comfy

It really depends, most of the ones that appear in lore are relatively cozy. At least before they get fucked up by something. Also they generally have urban centers for the administration and traders, where I would naturally belong, being literate and fluent in High Gothic and shit.

Most of those are still shitholes, just different sorts of shitholes. Even on a better one you're still dealing with a planet part of a perpetual war-engine rube goldberg machine run by whackos.

40K, anon, and it's not even close.

Only if you're bad at imagining.

No. That's the central conceit of the setting. If you can imagine worse than the Imperium, it just means you're thinking too well of the Imperium.

the unironic answer is India, this isn't to say India is good but all the problems associated with India also apply to your average Imperial world, but far far worse, you can at least see the sun in India, you average hive worlder probably doesn't even know a sun exists

I know the location of a mostly functional STC machine (house van saar, necromunda).
I also know that the Ark Mechanicus Speranza (possibly all Ark Mechanicuses) contains a complete STC database.

that alone is enough to make you one of the most powerful people in the galaxy so long as you don't get killed for the information

I love seeing posts like these because they express genuine contempt for the Jeets, instead of pretending to as dishonest camoflage like redditors are known to do. Say anything against globalism and they'll accuse you of being one of the loathesome dung eaters, which is nonsensical because globalism is why they are able to stink up our highest political and economic positions.
