Back on with this month after a small break, another vid coming up next week - as always if you enjoyed please LIKE the vid

Lutein dude, you have kind of repeated yourself for the past 10 videos about defending how you rationalize lore. Sometimes I just wanna zone out on the lore. It's gotten to the point where I can predict how you're gonna defend your position because you've clarified it so many times. Your position is clear dude. We support you. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone, especially a loud minority. Can you go back to just making dope lore videos with a clear focus on the lore. Your writing speaks for itself man, don't feel the need to defend it from those who don't get it. Doing that in every video really dilutes your quality works.

Edit: thanks for addressing it man, much love.

Comment for the algo god

Plot twist: in tact STCs are actually extremely common, but one of their primary functions is cloaking the planet from anyone travelling in the warp

Usually people are not aware how big of a challenge long term data storage actually is. The best we have are still rock carvings and parchment codices which might last a few hundred to thousand years under ideal conditions (DNA is an insanely stable molecule for its complexity and enormous length so artificial DNA might be a way and jpegs and mp3s had already gotten encoded in aDNA strands and successfully read out again - but it requires complicated tech to do so and all the knowledge of the world won't be of any use if the required tech to read it out didn't make it through the centuries as well and the chances are pretty damn low) - and it got worse and worse over time:
We already sit atop a mountain of digital data storage we can't access any longer even though they are just a few decades old - and some backup CDs I've burned and stored away couldn't get read out again a mere 10 years later although they never went into a drive, were stored dry, dark and with moderate temperatures.
If society would collapse right now the overwhelming majority of our knowledge would get lost within only a few generations - the regression of the Imperium is pretty realistic in light of the lenghts of time we speak about here.

You know what galaxy wide empire NEVER forgets when it loses a world? Super Earth.

In other words, there are actually a bunch of fully working STCs around the galaxy in M41, but they all have some form of an asterisk that prevents It from being used because It's 40K and we can't have nice things.

@luetin, my guy. Around 18:50 you're justifying what you do. Here's your word:

HISTORIOGRAPHY. Not the study of history, but the study of how we record history, what is saved, and what we glean from even the most terrible, but in context, sources.

i have an idea for a setting for a 40k RPG adventure. Basic setup is a dark age of technology colony - the colony STC made the decision to cut off all communications during the war with men of iron, lest it fall to whatever corruption was causing the problem.
somewhere during the age of strife, an unnamed cataclysm befell the central colony, and what was left were the agricultural and mining outposts. over time they aren't even aware where the original city was, and it became a myth to the people living there.

during the crusade the emperor's children roll in, and the planet's population become compliant with relatively little discord - they are happy to be reunited with humanity. the legion moves on, with iterators and a small techpriest contingent left behind to get the place ready for productivity.
something something heresy, and the colony's location is lost. the techpriests locate the original colony STC and make contact with it. Over time, they set up their central forge at that location, and revere the STC as the "machine god"

the techpriests are highly secretive about their machine god, and give out gear to the world as needed - often producing highly specific goods for members of the world's PDF - to the point where a military family will have their own customized ancestral lasrifles, decorated over time to reflect that family's achievement.

the STC also engages with the help of the techpriests in some warp shenanigans that make the world highly difficult to find. how exactly this works is a detail i haven't really fleshed out.

"It's an older lore, sir, but it checks out."

35:23 I like how the assassin whose trained to be an expert killer is the one telling the arbites not to immediately start attacking and gunning down the locals. Puts into picture how blood thirsty the Imperiums law enforcement can be.

Loving that Luetin is slowly adding the 998th of 1000 cuts to Chapter master Valrak with another “Dorn is just dead, sorry”commentary at the quarter point of this video.

Home world is where the heart is. Unfortunately my heart was ripped out by a death guard and I lost it

reminder, a loose collections of weapons from humanity's golden age was able to not just fend off but DECIMATE a full invasion fleet of a powerful Necron dynasty

Luetin knows the best of quiet trolling methods. "The most modern aircraft available!" Video features an F-5, an aircraft developed in the 1950's.... That being said the silly little thing has remained relevant for 70 years because of its versatility and sparseness of repair/maintenance needs. Like the more famous A-10 its frame design is so close to perfect, one can not just causally toss it aside.

Well this completely changes what I had planned tonight!

My favourite example of "lost worlds" in 40k is that of Urdesh and the Sabbat Worlds. The region has a long and bloody history during the Heresy, but afterwards, weakened, it gets forgotten by the Imperium, while the region gets overrun by Chaos-worshipping cultures from the Halo Stars. Urdesh develops its own unique culture parallel to the Mechanicus' as a result of its priesthood being purged during the Heresy. When the region gets reconquered by the living saint (!) Sabbat several millennia later, people have completely forgotten the Sabbat Worlds have ever been part of the Imperium, treating them as a wild frontier of sorts. This history can be pieced together from Adeptus Titanicus (Crucible of Retribution and Traitor Legios) and the Sabbat Worlds Crusade background book. It's really cool.

I don't know what I want Leutin to cover, until I read the title of the newest video and think "I didn't know I wanted that, but I really do".

Thank you for all of your hard work Loremaster!

I don't know about anyone else, but this Ret Conn character seems to upset a lot of people in the 40k lore.

I will be getting acquainted with this later on with some space cabbage and my imagination.

All hail the Lore Father 🙏
