Onion is pure magic. It can be used for cooking practically everything you ever want. And it's tasty, too, if you know how to deal with it.

Onion is tasty to someone who finds onions tasty. Which I am not. With how often they show up in basically everything, I've ended up tasting a lot of onion over my lifetime. Each and every one of them was dish-destroyingly terrible. Insofar as I've been able to tell, it's physically impossible to cook an onion or cook with onion in a way that doesn't taste vile to me.

Except those potato chips. They're alright.

Obviously that means you've got to add more salt to the onion. Obviously.

Onions do taste pretty shitty without salt.

I'm not that familiar with fantasy warhammer, but isn't 40K in the same continuity as it? Cause if yes, then don't the humans win in the end (with chaos surviving, of course) no matter what?

Iirc they're more like parallel continuities. Like, I think that at one point the 40k Warp briefly connected to the WHF setting.

They were referenced to be connected at one point but now they're only connected by the Chaos gods.
Not that it matters now that they've nuked the setting.

...say what?

Yeah, Chaos won. Setting's destroyed entirely except for maybe what seems to be Sigmar or maybe the 40k Emperor - it just says he was once a man.
Yay for good plot progression. All the other bullshit meant nothing after all.

...well that sucks :l
Where's the RAGE thread when you need it?

[Frumple]

Serg, half the things onion get stuck in has enough salt it in to cause your blood pressure to rise just looking at it.* Don't think salt is the answer.

*And that's despite the fact that salt probably doesn't actually cause high blood pressure :V

Sometimes it's okay to admit you're wrong you know.

Wow, am I glad I checked out of WH Fantasy when I still thought the storyline was cool

Maybe they learned their lesson and that's why 40k has ground to a halt in terms of the story.

I love cooking with onions because I have dull taste buds.  Vinegar's good too, particularly on potato chips.
I like bland foods too, since I'm used to everything seeming bland, but for the longest time I never appreciated flavors properly because I wasn't using enough.

A typical stew for me is potatoes + onions + carrots + meat + black pepper + spinach.  Sometimes cabbage, rice or mushrooms.  I usually eat too much of it trying to finish it off, and lie around feeling satisfied

[Worldmaster27]

Onions are alright, though they always seem to taste a bit satirical to me.

Yes, it's a very bad pun.

[SquatchHammer]

So what, are they going to do a full reset on WH Fantasy?

Wow, am I glad I checked out of WH Fantasy when I still thought the storyline was cool

Maybe they learned their lesson and that's why 40k has ground to a halt in terms of the story.

Actually they started it back up with the imperium on a decline state. So I wouldnt be surprised if they did the same thing there too.

IIRC 40k's on the verge of having the same thing happen to them, since in the last Black Crusade Abbadon got a foothold on Cadia. GW then realized that because they made Chaos so OP that even that would allow them to near-effortlessly steamroll to Terra and kill the Emperor for good, so they froze the timeline.

I dunno what's happening with Fantasy - though at least some Lizardmen escaped in their temple spaceships, so that's cool.

[Aklyon]

From the sound of this thread its sounding like a recurring theme. 'Chaos too OP, stall for plot until whenever'

[Xantalos]

That's basically their MO now that I think of it.

[Bauglir]

I should never be trusted to cook without supervision.

I was supposed to put the pot full of food into the crock pot. I poured the food out of the pot and into the crock pot.

If it makes you feel any better, I once put a frozen pizza in the oven without removing the cardboard on which it was packaged. No, I was not young enough to excuse this decision. It just seemed like the obvious thing to do. Turns out, that's not the right thing to do, and the instructions said as much.

It's a skill to be learned, and you can learn it!

Relevant:

I finally found out why the washing machine / clothes dryer combo thing sucks so hard at actually cleaning my clothes.
It's just a clothes dryer o.o

Considering that, before most other things GWS, there were the "Realms of Chaos" books, I think they've always known who they really care about, after all the Space Marine wank is said and done with. I think Rogue Trader predates them, but not by much.

As an aside I read through some End Times.....some of the rules changes they decided, mostly removing all army restrictions, is actually really close to the homebrew 40k rules we came up with for quicker and quirkier games.

One skill I've had to adapt as a fan of GWS is knowing when to lock down how much attention I pay to how it develops. I think I stopped paying attention to official 40k canon sometime in 4th Ed. Luckily GWS creations are the kinds of worlds/universes you've been primed to not really require closure on.

Part of me wonders though....is this the start of the End Times for GWS as a whole, where they stop making things and just license out the IP?
