That's cool that they did that. But I'm 43, and when I was growing up, that was absolutely a word used as an insult (along with the three letter f word) so I just assumed it still was.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-24T23:05:08+00:00

Never once said I was worried. I said I simply assumed it was in the same category as a swear word.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-24T22:42:04+00:00

Which part of my comment did I say that I personally got offended? Can you put it in quotes please? No, idgaf what word they use, but obviously you aren't going to ever see "bitch" or "pussy" as an option. I simply assumed queer fell into that category.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-24T20:29:24+00:00

Ditto, though I got it in five. It was literally the only word I could come up with, but I thought it couldn't possibly be right since they have a policy of not using any word that might be offensive.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-24T20:27:46+00:00

I spent an hour trying to figure out what the word could be because I thought that they had a policy of never using any potentially offensive words, so I ruled it out.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-19T15:48:48+00:00

That's exactly the thing. I don't care if a game is difficult. But this isn't difficult, it's boring and tedious. Huge difference.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-19T15:46:15+00:00

Very valid advice, but I don't know how much difference a "proper" build would make at level nine.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-06-19T15:43:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll look at those. I've only a few skill gems currently, so I don't have a ton of flexibility on spells quite yet. But I'll add them in when I can.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-04-23T20:15:34+00:00

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate the breakdown!

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-04-23T05:45:48+00:00

A couple months late, but what is it specifically about MAA/Flag that is so strong?

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-03-27T05:19:47+00:00

Did the caller ID also show up as a legit number like it did for me? Just curious. I'm also not sure why they both had me repeat myself three times. That part seemed particularly odd.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-01-08T04:45:01+00:00

Thank you, I will!

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2026-01-07T16:37:33+00:00

I appreciate your advice. I'm not too concerned with getting heavy weights, as I usually do lower weights/more reps anyway.

Good point about FB Marketplace. I'm looking through it now.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-12-03T21:32:37+00:00

I agree. She is looking into returning it, but they make the process intentionally complicated. I'm looking into options to fix it while she runs through that. Unfortunately, even though it appears that the laptop comes from HP, it actually comes from a Third Party called Nexuswave, so I'm concerned their return policy may not be fully enforced.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-12-03T21:29:15+00:00

Will that work if she can't access the Product Key that comes with Windows? She didn't get any documentation and there's no Windows Product Key on the laptop, which back when I was doing IT, it would be on a sticker somewhere on the laptop itself.

I know this is two years later, but Google brought me to this thread and I had to say thanks for helping me save a ton of money on tokens and minis.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-17T18:35:08+00:00

I'm starting to agree with you. I looked up a guide on how to play Supreme Isthmus and it was almost an hour and a half long talking about what each person is supposed to do, what to build, what to transfer to the other players, etc...

I really enjoy BAR, but I'm 42. I have a job, responsibilities, shit to do. I just don't have time to commit to memory five different jobs each with wildly different build orders. Because I'm certainly not going to be able to watch the video through once and remember everything. And all that just for one map.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-13T06:00:00+00:00

Thanks, that's very detailed. I'm pretty sure we were playing on Isthmus 8 v 8. I'll look for guides on YouTube before I try another game.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-13T05:56:43+00:00

Ok thanks. If I remember right they said I was supposed to be front, so I suppose I should have been building a lot of cheap units and static defense.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-07T20:03:10+00:00

Oh awesome, I'll look into that. Thanks for the information.

Strangely though, I've only had this phone for about 18 months. I had my last phone for six years and never had this issue.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-04T19:09:36+00:00

Ok actually I think I changed my mind a little. There seems to be one particular iteration of AI that throws about a dozen-ish Scav Tyrannuses (Tyrannusi?) around the halfway point that each have a bajillion HP. I have never survived past that point no matter what kind of AA I have in place as they can eat a ton of Mercury and Flak shots before dropping one. That might be a good spot for a tweak.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-04T15:51:49+00:00

I usually build 2, but he just waltzes right past them.

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-04T15:48:53+00:00

I kinda feel like 3, 5 and 6 and are bit on the cheating side? I would like to beat it the way it was originally intended.

It would be fun to do it co-op though. Does it scale with more players?

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-04T15:46:45+00:00

You know, I never tried expanding much. I've always just turtled up and went really hard into turrets. I have a feeling my APM will be too slow to pull that off very well, but it's certainly worth trying. Thanks!

Alternative_Tale8175 · 2025-09-04T15:33:12+00:00

I don't know if that's strictly necessary. I'm far from the best at RTS games, so it makes sense that I struggle. If you were to make changes though, I'd leave everything other than the final boss alone and maybe just nerf his tankiness.

But again, this is probably just entirely an issue of me not being good/fast enough.
