To quote Bernard Black: "Well expect away!"

A smaller, cheaper alternative to the high end models.

The Temple of Trials is intended to be a tutorial - something the executives insisted they include. The first game's tutorial is in the manual.

The maze puzzle with the electrified floor is some absolute bullshit. I wonder if there's a mod to remove that nonsense?

As for the beginning, I used a mod to skip the Temple of Trials because you're absolutely right, it's such a tedious slog. Yay, executive meddling!

I really enjoyed playing through Fallout 2 on my deck.

Adverts are visual and psychological pollution. Get fucked.

I really don't get how one is supposed to use more than one server. As in, how to spread one's attention to feel like one is present in so many places. It's a total non-starter for me.

Here's the passage I was talking about, from page 19 of Da Uvver Book: https://i.imgur.com/pj6HXGt.png

Whilst I don't disagree with your points, don't they primarily apply to specifically a support forum?

Canonically they're bigger. There's a whole bit about it in Da Uvver Book (one of the books from Gorkamorka - it established much of the modern Ork lore).

Is it sensible to discourage users from being different people in different communities?

 

I didn't mean to time this one for Orktober, but maybe it's just a happy little accident. He's an obscure Forge World mini from 2007 or so. I've recently been watching Masters of the Air and it made me want to dig him out of my backlog. No idea what I might field him as, but he's a fun sculpt.

There's a couple of more photos here: https://imgur.com/a/cmmgacE

There's a press release about the mini here, if you want to know more: https://ifelix.net/forgeworld-newsletter-171

 

This crew of Ork-wannabes are my Diggamob. They currently don't have names, apart from the test model - Zagatha (back left). I mostly don't like the old Digga range, but there's a few exceptions, so I went with those.

I've no idea when I'll get around to fielding them in Gorkamorka, but hopefully at some point. I deliberately opted for no heavy weapons on the vehicles to field more bodies. Diggas have access to archeotek and can get some very fancy bits of kit - but to find them and wield them effectively numbers are required.

These are a combination of GW's original minis from 1998 and Red Nebular's Primal Raider range: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Red%20Nebular

I mainly painted them using contrast/speed paints, but I didn't have the requisite paints when I did the test model, so the skin ended up being done the traditional way. I regret it, but it was too late to do anything about. I'm not overly fond of how they turned out, but hey, done is the best feature.

Also, just to pre-empt it, no, the faction aren't called "digganobs". They're called "diggas", you memelords.
