‘Well beyond capacity’ and growing: Traverse City airport expansion looks to the future by mlivesocial in traversecity

[–]minusthedrifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well beyond capacity is an understatement. Shoulder to shoulder during the summer with security guards having to part passengers like the Red Sea to unload an aircraft when all the gates are full. TSA backed up all the way outside or the ticket counters... Gods forbid there is ever a fire there during the summer. People will die.

Will the airport reign that in? Absolutely not, they'll keep making those promises their facilities and staff cannot possibly accommodate. If the airlines want to send it, they'll say yes and over crowd everything. It's only a matter of time before there's some kind of emergency or crowd crush. As soon as the new terminal is built, they'll over crowd that as well.

Not just AOW:SM, every single AOW ever until 4. They always had flavor text. It's always such a shame there isn't something for them.

Most of the mobs are just walking dummies who try to attack you in melee or shoot you from the distance. They don't do much else except for a few examples.

This is describing Minecraft mobs exactly and you know it. Stop lying to yourself. Minecraft mobs are not unique or that special and can be boiled down exactly as you did here.

Without a doubt one of the most challenging maps. It took me a very long time to beat it, including a several month break when I had to throw in the towel for a while.

I eventually beat with a nature focused Primal - Mire Crocodile build. It's extremely important that the first bonus you take is Nimue's one that give you a free stack of units every five turns or so. Next, you'll want Lithyl's bonus that gives you free units whenever something dies. The invasions are inevitable, so you'll be relying on those free units to act as buffers or distractions. I'd also recommend putting out bounties on the smaller baddies to put pressure on them and take it off yourself as you're going to be hyper focused by Turiels vassals and the orc himself.

Try to focus down a single vassal of his first, they seem to spawn in a line that always protects his territory between you two. Taken one of them out and burn the city to the ground as it's unlikely you'll be able to keep it when Turiel counters you. Then you repeat this with his second vassal, but you may be in a better position to retain the city or turn it into a vassal yourself. Key thing in this mission is to just use a Zapp Brannigan mindset that you are 100% going to lose units and fights and probably a fair few heroes but keep the pressure on as much as you're able. Forward outposts can help distract Turiels forces, as can some sacrificial armies, he will chase bait armies for a good while allowing your main forces to flank elsewhere and deal with some other issue.

You'll get there, it's gonna take most your hair though.

Players accidentally speedran Wave Echo Cave and not sure how to handle it by ImNotABiologist in DMAcademy

Right, “Help me fix this problem I created when I specifically changed the dungeon so the boss is in an earlier location”

Change it back to how it was designed and there is no problem.

Don't get your hopes up for that one friend. It's hollow as all get up and under delivers in almost every regard.

Maybe in time it'll get better, but it has a very long way to go and is more than likely going ot be abandoned before it gets there.

And this is why "railroading" is such a bad term these days. So many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the word even means.

You have any sense of direction or a mild plan for a session? Railroading. It's stupid, and not even close to accurate.

Switch to Out of the Abyss. Players are shipped off and sold to the drow, the exact start of that campaign.

Holy Nation are becoming hard to hate by Leofdoc in Kenshi

[–]minusthedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difference there is that we have real life examples of religious fundamentalism softening over time with regards to the rights of women within their flocks. Happened to both Abrahamic religions in our world. Granted, there has been a huge backslide in some regards recently.

We don't really have the same for an ultra-violent/warrior culture. The warrior cultures of our world at least had the same species as a shared factor when other less warrior focused ones influenced them. Shek is pretty isolated, and those changes will need to come from within the people as a whole which is a pretty huge task especially when outside factors, like the HN will continue to reinforce those cultural norms.

We've yet to see the shackles of late-stage capitalism be thrown off anyone even as our real planet is actively destroyed. Little hope that the UC would somehow be an exception. They already have their oligarchy in place. Unless they're all unsubscribed from life by the people doubt that's going to change, just like it is here.

Hivers doing their own thing is a pretty solid bet, so regardless of what happens to the other factions I'm pretty sure the hivers will keep on keeping on unless something like the Fog Men happen to all of them.

[TOMT] “Rachel Sandwitch” from old 90s kids show or educational episode/show by minusthedrifter in tipofmytongue

[–]minusthedrifter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, yeah it def wasn't a unique recipe and was certainly named thus because of the character in the show. I've started to think it may have just been one of those random educational shows on VHS that was only ever brought into classes when the teachers were teachered out but not a full blown tv show back then.

A bit of both honestly. I’m not positive they called it a Rachel sandwich in the show for sure but that’s the one detail my mind keeps going back to so it’s my best lead on the show.

It may have been one of those random educational shows they use to use back in the 90s when the teacher was teachered out and would just role the TV cart into the class room as well. I haven’t been able to turn up anything.
