You do know this quote is like... Warhammer 101? Right there with METAL BAWKSES (the cowards!).
First heard it in Dawn of War, a select response from a SM Librarian.
A 40k quote, ah. Thank you for clearing that up.
The sentiment that is carried by those words is pretty stupid imo: "hope is the first step to disappointment" carries (to me) the implication "so you should just lie down and wait to die" (hence why I asked if it was 'edge or depression'); but 40k is a setting where the pov characters tend to be from a hyper-authoritarian state, so the quote is not surprising.
In fact, just go read
some of those quotes. It's essentially basic 40k (meme) literacy.
No. I think that is likely to do little but make me feel anger and contempt, but I am grateful for your intent in linking a resource for my education.

planning on hopes of something we dont have any real basis is bad idea
i have no problem with reasonable hope (like hoping getting nice tech for overflowing in a research)
but putting high hopes in finding a silver bullet against the space marines despite not having any indication of that is more along the lines of delusional hope,wich most likely than not,leads to dissapointments
I am hopeful that with our Artifice token and Harvest domain that we will be able to use this ship, because the action implies that it is a thing that can be done, but is unlikely to be something we can do in
time. Also, I am confused about what part of my post led you to believe that the ship will be a 'silver bullet' Highly useful, and might be the difference between loss and victory, but not something that would do all the work itself.
Tbh, I thought that the words 'might,
might' conveyed that I considered getting the ship operational was
very much a longshot. The basis being "roll a 95+" which is a thing that could
really happen, and might get us a working ship.
Your expansion on what you meant by your depressing edgy quote makes me think that you read my post quickly without thinking about the bits I emphasised, as to my eyes, you are speaking against something I did not assert.

Edit: This dumbfuck clicked on that link. I am now angry and wish to cause harm to the people who wrote those lines and everyone who went along with making that game, be it by cruel word or sugar in their car engines.
Ah, and here comes the contempt. Didn't expect it to take that long.
