I ... you do know that it has benn, like, two days? One day? I don't know when you folks are done over there. If you think "ah, Trump still does not recognise the election, but Harris is just as bad!" then I don't think we have a further basis for discussion.

Meine Fresse, hat der Mann denn keinen Anstand?
Damn, what a loser. At least Donald Trump never refused to admit his defeat for a good four years, and instead ceded right after the polls were closed, right?
The Diligence is a DMR (or SPR), it excels at accurate fire without losing too much in terms of ammo capacity and sustained rate of fire. Use it against bots, it is a surprisingly good chaff weapon and can take good care of devastators if you aim is true. Could you just use a Tenderiser instead? Yeah, probably.
The CS is something I never bothered with - I suppose it is a bit better suited for Devastators and maybe shooting the joints on a scout strider?
The Erupton is ... special. Why you classify it as a sniper rifle is beyond me, but you do you. I also wonder what you were expecting from a sniper rifle when shooting bugs - enemies that will quite easily overwhelm you with a combination of sheer numbers and armoured support (can't kill hunters if you need to dodge a Charger). The AMR will take good care of the medium weights, such as Brood/Alpha Commanders and Hive Guards and can still take on Hulks and Chargers in a pinch. No clue why you think that a rifle-calibre or intermediate cartridge should take out armoured units.
Tl,DR: Hard disagree on your take.
I once read a fairly interesting take on this: Historical settings are often chosen to wrap the story in a certain context in order to allow the reader to picture the style and theme without having to establish and explain a new setting first, so basically you skip on world building. If you read an analogy to Zeus you will immediately have an image in mind as well as a bunch of characteristics, no need to establish that beforehand.
Now, considering this it makes sense to choose a setting people already know - the 16th centruy Ottoman Empire is certainly interesting, but the average reader might know next to nothing about it and you have to explain everything first.
Why are these three settings used so much? Well, it's positive feedback! Literature, Theatres and Video Games will select something well known and it receives popularity. In addition, a piece of media using a less-popular setting will have to a) compete with other media to become popular and b) provide plenty of worldbuilding in order to have the setting make sense. A piece of media that both establishes a "new" setting AND is very popular is going to be rare, making the entry of a new mythology/historical setting into mainstream difficult.
Hey, if they make Putin actually stop the war and give Ukraine a proper diplomatic option, I'm all for it. As it stands, they are "pro-war" themselves - a very one-sided war
Die oberen Uhrzeiten sind als Zahl schön/interessant (1234 als Zahlenfolge, 1337 ist das Wort Leet in Leet-speak, 2222 besteht nur aus Zweien, und so weiter). Die untere Uhrzeit repräsentiert die Buchstaben "ACAB" (gemäß ihrer Position im Alphabet) und wird gerne von Menschen zur pauschalen Verunglimpfung anderer Menschen benutzt, oftmals mit dem Vermerk, dass diese anderen Menschen andere Menschen pauschal verunglimpften.
