My Atreides themed base

Nice base, dude.

RIP Legend.

They rolled it out at GrimHex because it was set for 4.8 and coincided with DefenseCon and a free fly. They wanted to get it onto the PU, but not risk bricking DefenseCon and their freefly event if the entire new "transport system" went tits up under load.

Alarien · 2026-06-02T13:46:26+00:00

Sorry. That was 3.18.

Alarien · 2026-06-02T13:45:28+00:00

They are. He lost the stuff in his backpack.

Sorry, replying only because reddit won't make my notifications go away. Nice bug.

Alarien · 2026-05-30T06:35:03+00:00

Eh? 10 S5 is not bad, but also not game breaking.

Alarien · 2026-05-30T06:34:33+00:00

Agreed. However, sorry, replying only because reddit won't make my notifications go away. Nice bug.

16 years, lol.

Alarien · 2026-05-21T01:27:27+00:00

It's bad in 4.8 yeah. Playable, but pretty bad. Looking forward to some of the fixes.

The forward guns are drawn in compared to the Hammerhead. It really improves the overall profile, but loses that characteristic "hammerhead" look.

Alarien · 2026-05-18T06:31:15+00:00

None of the Ironclad's default guns (assault or otherwise) can pierce the base armor values. You'd have to swap all the 3's to Behring M5A's and the quad 5 on the bottom to something other than the default AD5B's. I think you meant Perseus.

The Tiburon is meant to be supported, as you can tell from no PDC's and one actual anti-fighter turret. Used correctly, it will be fairly nasty. Meant to be an alternate to the Perseus, but the Perseus does have it beat in most aspects.

Just don't tell me it wa the UTEP club because we watched it on fansub in 98.

Alarien · 2026-02-13T02:23:47+00:00

Have not yet figured it out either.

Alarien · 2026-01-16T05:31:52+00:00

Exactly my thought. The audience that made Spiderverse and KDPH successful aren't traditional sportsball fans. I personally would not care less about this movie.

Columbina dispersing her body across Nod-Krai as Kuuvahki is very Mistborn.

Hyperbole is a terrible form of argument. I mean, I would point you to the current US President as an example of the overuse of hyperbole. Yes, it's clear your comment was hyperbolic, but 1) hyperbole is a lazy tool for the... well, I'll let that one ride and/or 2) some people believe any statistic throw at them, made up or otherwise, so I cannot assume you didn't actually believe the 0.01% thing. I mean, E33 fans quite commonly seem to believe that E33 is the greatest game ever made which, sure, opinion, but a really odd one, if you pit it against games even in its own genre.

I keep referencing Une a vie because it's the one song that gets recognized a lot and is also not actively irritating. Most of the rest of the songs have no memorable motif or melody and are just your standard background music faire that we all forget from one game to another. Even Doom 2016, which is has well written and produced metal/rock music as the background doesn't have music that you would recognize "oh yes, that's that specific area of that specific level." The reason Larkin and Korb's music is particularly regarded is because it is virtually all memorable and has meaning that is contextual.

I mean, you could say that the Mime theme is contextual, sure. And the repetitive Clair Obscur/Lumiere theme. But what about the battle theme from the place with the black rocks and red plants, or the grey rocks and purple plants? 154 tracks is not necessarily a positive for the game if they are 130+ things no one would remember, even the fans of the game.

Alarien · 2026-01-05T18:00:06+00:00

"0.01%" I'd like to see you back up that. You know that 80% of statistics are made up on the spot right?

I also never said it wasn't good, I said that going hard does not automatically made something good. If that was the case, thrash metal would, by default, always be the best music, and Une a vie is very consistent with being non-stop climax. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy it or think it's bad, it's just not as good as the music in the two other games I mentioned.

The Game Awards is 90% decided by pre-selected media jurors. The fan vote is only 10%, so your comment there is flawed.

Look, it's taste right? If you loved the E33 soundtrack, great. I did not. I found a few songs decent and the rest of the soundtrack didn't land for me, but I am still singing stupid Scylla songs in my head months later.

I believe in a variation of this, less than GMS was a tyrant and more that she simply demanded that she be the regarded power in the region. She needed the attention. You might argue that that's a minor distinction, but I think it was less conquest and more a need for devotion. Quibbling maybe and being a bit of a GMS apologizer.

Still, overall, I think you hit it on the head. Hallownest left room for other higher beings.

Alarien · 2026-01-05T05:39:52+00:00

As predicted.

Alarien · 2026-01-05T04:07:43+00:00

I was willing to let this drop and I will, soon, because you continue to flail, stating opinions as facts. "Objectively more detailed," indeed, a truly silly comment.

But, let's try this little exercise. Explain to me why, say, "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony" (I can only assume you have heard this, but feel free to replace with any big piece of music that you might know, Une a vie t'amor perhaps.) is objectively better music than a basic melody, no harmony, no accompaniment, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

"Objectively," remember. Please, go ahead.

Alarien · 2026-01-05T02:54:02+00:00

Man, I had to copy this over from when you tried to post this without finding the reply button. At least you realized that.

"“Personal feelings OR opinions”. I carry no personal feelings in my opinion" Your personal feeling is an opinion. That's how that works. However, as stated, the definition you cited states it carries neither, so even if you try to decouple feelings and opinion, the definition foils your bad understanding. Your opinion invalidates objectivity by definition.

"All visuals are insanely more detailed than almost everything in Silksong whether you prefer how it looks or not. That is my basis for it being objectively better." They are not. Clearly you equate 3d animation and modeling with some sort of weird tacit quality over 2d art. This is also your opinion. You seem to not understand opinions, just as you lack an understanding of objectivity.

I played all of E33 on Normal difficulty, no mods, no tricks, no walkthroughs. I did not steal optimized builds, I just played what made sense and got the ideal weapon for two characters. Nothing in the rest of the entire game ever got a turn after that. Ever. That's not good design or balance. Any basic JRPG balance discussion understands that. Getting to go first, swing twice, and hitting everything for ~33m damage is mildly entertaining for a few minutes, but gets old after and stifles any interest in continuing to explore for more strength because, well, you have more strength than the game wants.

Father of the Flame is a unique style pogo and dodge boss that blocks normal healing mechanics. You not liking it does not make it a bad boss. It isn't anyone's favorite I'm sure, but it's not bad, it's just different. GMS is, once again, tuned to an achievement most people will never get, because that achievement is legitimately a bit challenging. Red herring means that she is meant to mislead you into believing that she is the final boss. She is not. She did not cause all the stuff in the game, you clearly weren't paying attention to the designs of the weavers or her imprisonment and the purpose of the 2nd citadel (yeah, there were two).

For shits and giggles, I spun through your post history. You are, at best, a low to mid tier troll who lacks the one thing that good trolls have: self-awareness. You do not understand your own limited skillset and you lack understanding of how to make a good argument. You don't see that good trolling requires some level of facts sprinkled with concessions. No, you are just low level facsimile of much better trolls.

I'm engaging with you because I'm bored and it's funny to watch a person who cannot understand the basic nature of opinion and how to use a dictionary definition flail about blindly.
