So I just went through :marseylongpost: some of the lore wiki articles for warhammer 40K :marsey40k: and it didn't feel that interesting :marseymid:.

I'm not going to play the games (not THAT much of a manchild) or read the books(I know they're slop), so I thought reading their lore would be a good way to pass the time but even that didn't seem all that well thought out. It's like they came up with a lot of cool concepts/premises but didn't bother to flesh it out beyond that :marseyshrug:.

This isn't the "neurodivergent world building" that nerds promised me :grr:. Worst part was how underdeveloped the "God Emperor" :marseyemperor: himself was.

The audio drama that was most memorable was Honour to the Dead, and i think there were one or two other decent ones in the bundle that was in.
