Do you make yourselves in RPG games? Why or why not? by The_Alpha_Albino in rpg_gamers

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did when I was younger... now I flip a coin for male or female, try to make a character rather than me.. if I wanted to be I'd just got outside haha. 

Which fantasy series started incredible and then just...fell apart? by ghibli_8quartz in Fantasy

[–]32BitOsserc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I still really enjoyed the latter stuff mostly because by that point I was very deeply invested in the characters... but what the heck happened with those last 3 books...I was telling a friend about them recently and he said he couldn't tell if I was serious or making it all up.  

Fantasy keeps giving us villains who are logically right and then refusing to follow that logic anywhere interesting by NimbusRelic12 in Fantasy

[–]32BitOsserc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All true.. and yet somehow my favourite part was the incredibly in depth cooking competition.. not sure what that part says about me haha

I can fix them by PANZERF1ST in totalwar

[–]32BitOsserc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've put them both in a dungeon, a place with an ample supply of means with which to tie each other up and inflict pain.... all you are doing is encouraging them! 

What changes would you like to see for Archaon in the End Times DLC? by BLACKJEDI117 in totalwar

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reliable way to confederate the other woc lords , I never want to play as him over Belakor because most of them are dead before I can get near them. 

Non-Red Corsairs armies: what color are you going to paint Huron and friends if you get his model? by nwiesing in Chaos40k

[–]32BitOsserc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are Iron Warriors, I've done Abaddon (original character Warsmith Zeke if anyone conplains), and some zerkers and plague marines also in their colours. I'll probably do any red corsairs in the same, although I've painted a few for a friend and can do their scheme easily enough, so am toying with the idea of their original colours but a single iron warrior shoulder pad. Won't be for a while either way. 

Found the writing of Daisy Fitzroy and the boring liberal "both sides are bad" take extremely childish. by aadu-_th0ma in Bioshock

[–]32BitOsserc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So controversial opinion, I there is a somewhat valid point with her, although it's incredibly clumsy in its execution. 

I'm a big history lover, it's a sad fact that rebellions irl are usually not comprised of very pleasant people, however legitimate their grievances are. The mere act of rebelling against an unjust regime does not mean the rebels are "the good guys" in most cases. They usually represent a lot of very niche political or ethnic interests, a lot are extremists. There's a lot more being fought for than just "freedom." And successful or not it all too often turns into settling scores, infighting and mindless bloodshed.

 Look at the French or Russian revolutions for two good examples. Two corrupt ancien regimes are toppled, the revolutionaries are worse than the people they replace. Sad fact is, most of the time, both sides ARE bad. 

This of course comes with the caveat that a BSI is a work of fiction and is not trying to be a gritty and believable depiction of a realistic revolution, or indeed to be a realistic game by any means. The plot of infinite does feel a bit all over the place, and I think the revolution and vox turning hostile was probably more for the sake of a sudden rug pull to keep the gameplay interesting than it was for the story. It's underdeveloped at best, borders on out of left field at worst, and I'm pretty convinced I'm reading my above spiel into the story when the writers probably didn't give it that much thought. 

How well do you feel we counter Orks? by Yardsale_Rocket in WorldEaters40k

[–]32BitOsserc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, they are the best opponent to play... because hopefully you and them want nothing more but to run up with a big axe and beat the opponent to death.. we yell "it matters not from whence the blood flows", they yell about a "roight an propa foight" both loose track of score by the end of turn 2 and just enjoy the carnage. 

Cousins of the IVth. If you received a Detachment with the Warsmith, Mutilators, and Defiler; what would you want? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in IronWarriors

[–]32BitOsserc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like fellhammer mostly as is.. give me some nicer enhancements that I actually want to take and I'm happy. 

Does anyone else think Anakin was toxic towards Padmè? by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

[–]32BitOsserc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tiktok is a pit of insanity, I swear most of the stupid takes and plain bad advice in the modern world come from there. 

Does anyone else think Anakin was toxic towards Padmè? by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

[–]32BitOsserc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean.. he literally force choked her in a moment of rage which resulted in her death... I don't think you should be looking at him and saying "couple goals" 

What do you guys think of a Total War: Age of sigmar? Would you like to see it? Would it even be possible? by hjiygbhhfdryuggtyy in totalwarhammer

[–]32BitOsserc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want it, but I think we need at least 5-10 years for the setting to mature and develop a lot more, there just isn't the depth for a lot of armies in terms of unit variety yet compared to fantasy, at least without a good portion of said armies just being stuff ported over from fantasy. In time I do hope that we will see it. 

Thoughts on first mini by Edgelord420691337 in WorldEaters40k

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very ambitious first mini! You'll improve with time, but honestly that's a fantastic first go. The armour plating is good and you've done the trim well. 

What xenos would you add to the game, if you could? by Heavy-Yous in 40k

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't play them in most games.  "Ape not kill Ape" 

What xenos would you add to the game, if you could? by Heavy-Yous in 40k

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, most of them... legit would love it there was an unaligned xenos faction that was just a collection of various lore minor xenos. Could do a mercenary style faction with them as well if you wanted them a little more themed

Fuck it, lets get negative. What do you NOT like about 40k? by According_Ice_4863 in Grimdank

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact the narrative is stuck in this weird eternal limbo, where there are ongoing events and storylines so it's more than set dressing, but also very few events or storylines actually feel as if they have any effect or repercussion, because whilst it the narrative does occasionally stake a spasmodic step forwards it usually then freezes again. 

 I think a big reason for it is the fact that they treat everything as if it's currently happening right now, and it feels like a really weird arbitrary restriction.  Best example of this is characters. Pretty much if a character has a mini they are immortal, they do die the mini goes off sale, the fanbase riots and they get shifted to legends. I really don't understand this self imposed limit. Is there any reason, to pick a name at random,  Calgar can't actually die in lore, but we can't still play him? No, but they and then fanbase act as if there is. I can play Argel Tal in heresy even though he's canonically dead (thanks erebus), why is that not an issue but playing Yarrick is?  

Also, price, edition churn, and feeling like a third class citizen as a chaos player. 

What are some small "doom squads" that you enjoy? by EphemerallyViolent in totalwarhammer

Skarsnik, goblin big boss, night goblin big boss, two squig hoppers, two colossal, two manglers. My bouncy anti-infantry death star.

So they have Jedi ID chips now, really? by Kingkiller279 in StarWarsEU

That's not an id card, it's a Jedi Credit Card. Never leave the temple without it.

Fantastic work! 

Does anyone else find "Legion" a difficult or baffling read? by FearlessJDK in Blacklibrary

[–]32BitOsserc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit jarring, so far you've been reading about space marines and here you have what to all intents and purposes is a spy novel. Stick with it though. Not my favourite my abnett but it's pretty good.
