That's not a long time.

It also gives them time to finish the modernization of their navy into a true blue-water carrier-based force.

Meanwhile, the West is busy shooting itself in the head

I regretted buying HellDivers. I honestly think that it becoming as popular as it did is a damning indictment of the state of coop shooters.

Honestly I'd have been down for Doomguy turning into a literal demigod of demon murdering but I'd want his look to reflect it. Right now he's in this weird position where he's basically magic but they didn't want to get rid of his look.

Original 40k was Rogue Trader, written largely by British anarchists, and the actual motivations of the Heresy Era figures like the Primarchs and Emperor were left vague, so you could figure out for yourself they were genocidal megalomaniacs.

Rebranding the outright fascists as the unironic good guys is exactly why it's now fascist propaganda.

There's also the Votann now but they have the same problem the Eldar and Tau do, there aren't enough of them.

That's a lot more effort to explain than I'm willing to do for a Lemmy post but basically they've not only confirmed the Big Magic Strong Man does at least try to work in humanity's favor and was right about most everything, but there's a lot of "the Imperium might be fucked but it's the only hope" going on in general.

All of the Imperium's propaganda is justified, all their little fascist warrior cults are all that stands between life and Chaos, the Inquisitor Puritans are right because the Radicals always go Chaos etc etc etc.

Bloodborne actually gets pretty easy once you understand the parry timing. If you ever feel brave enough to give it a shot, just focus on learning that mechanic and you'll do well.

If, for example, the PSN store let you refund a game that you tried for a bit and gave up on I'd be more sympathetic to their argument, but it doesn't. It, in fact, won't let you refund a game you've only partially downloaded.

In the sense that you're going to overpay for editions and minis that they're constantly updating to squeeze more money out of you while having a genuinely good but expensive paint catalogue ruined by paint pots designed to waste paint, yes.

In the sense that it's pure entertainment and no one and nothing is making you buy them despite all that, no.

Now, if we want to talk about how they're essentially monetizing fascist rhetoric and the "satire" died decades ago that's a whole new ballgame.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result

Y'all are surprised?

I'd argue that there's plenty of that in 2 as well, and by 3 it's more about taking things to their conclusions as all the characters we've built relationships with start bouncing off each other but fair enough.
