I’m Chinese, I’ve never seen a map like this before. We usually just use Mercator but split along the Atlantic ocean instead of the Pacific. This map is just kinda bizzare. Why is Antarctica so prioritized? Why’s it in portrait orientation? I think it’s just intentionally weird, which is still cool.

Yep when I first joined I thought it stood for main Instance.

Huh so that’s what the original looks like.

Wait your signature is supposed to just be your name in cursive? But then wouldn’t that defeat the point? I thought in the olden days it was supposed to be like a proof that you were the right person since you knew how your signature was written.

Anyways, for my signature I just kinda designed it. It was ages ago so I forgot my process, but it was deliberate and I remember making a whole bunch of sketches before finding one I liked. And since then I’ve incrementally improved it.

That seems very precarious to me, I’d be constantly worried about nudging it and dropping the cups.

I’ve never watched Blade Runner, only this scene, but this scene is incredible. And this quote gives a really strong impression of a much larger world.

For 40k, I actually feel like “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates open and unbarred” is a cooler, if less iconic quote. It just conveys the ridiculous dystopia of the Imperium so well and so quickly.

But yeah gotta love the classic BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! YOUR CORPSE-EMPEROR WILL NOT SAVE YOU!
