  • Stick to 40k

    Crazy how quickly they turned a Warhammer pod into a whiny pod about their politics. People listen for you to talk about made up stories from fantasy and sci fi novels. Stop the political rants that come across like a bunch of incels who are scared of women.

    A lot of better podcasts out there for 40k lore.

I get that you want to monetize via your “ad free Patreon,” but if you want people to support you financially by believing that you are a “professional podcast,” then maybe consider keeping the discussion respectful, rather than engaging in your ever-increasing inappropriate dialogue, including your most recent comments about. You all are so much better than th... more
