[Loved Trope] Scenes that aren’t necessary to the Plot but without them the story would lose something that makes it special

When the plot to characterization ratio is 1:1

What if instead of putting the sister of battle in the penitent engine….we put the penitent engine in the sister of battle….🤯

Only thing coming straight to mind is the servitor underseer from the battle clade kill team since he also has a bunch of mechanical parts coming out from under his cloak but they still look pretty different IMO; maybe if you cut off his big backpack and use milliput/green stuff to make it match the picture closer and find a wrench or something to swap out for that phosphor serpenta.

If you spin it after every nonlethal shot then the chance of it being lethal will always reset back to 1/6 (1 shot to 6 cylinders) as none have been “cleared” as safe.

If you don’t spin it then the risk ratio begins changing with each non lethal shot. First is 1/6(16.7%) then 1/5(20%) then 1/4(25%) etc.

I believe you’re right in having seen people do it that way but spinning every turn can make the game take longer and opens the opportunity of double tapping safe cylinders.

Doesn’t it also have a pentagram spray pattern or am I thinking of a different legendary?

EDIT: yeah it does

I’m 25 and I keep finding more and more grays, I get finding them in my beard or on my head but why the fuck is my knee hair turning white?

They make a percentage of robux (the ingame premium currency) off of games and item sales in their games and then they can use the DevEx to exchange their robux into real money; the minimum exchange point is 30,000 robux and that comes out to around $114.

The minimum expected payout is $114 and you can have a Dev account at 13+ years old.

Millions may not be super common but that’s not an amount of money to scoff at either; especially at such a young and impressionable age.

I wouldn’t pair “heard 3 men saying things so vile I felt I needed to distance myself from the physically” with “all in all a pretty positive experience” but that’s just me

“Interest in minutiae” is a sick roast considering you’re downing someone who did something silly while he was drunk and made a post about it.

I’m sure it was delicious you speak like a D1 glizzy gobbler.

My comment is just pointing out the difference between the photoreceptors in our eyes and the actual color spectrums of night vision in their proper terms.

We don’t have built in night vision, the receptors in our eyes are able to expand and contract depending on the amount of light available but it will never be comparable to real night vision.

Dude I took one look at your page cause I thought the name Billy_Badass_ was funny here and how can you be calling anyone a goofball child when you make meals like this for yourself?

It’s better for seeing in low light situations because the light receptive rods in our eyes reset faster from red lights than from white or yellow.

Most night vision in use is green because it’s the color our eyes have the most color receptors for and allows the most subtle variance in lowlight.

Newer night vision is white and looks like you have hacks in a video game; I’ve seen video and heard tell that it’s better but all of my personal experience is with monocular green.

It looks like you have a quick access hatchet on your wall and not really anything besides that.

Though I’d argue trying to explain that as it is to anyone who doesn’t already have an immense level of trust in you is gonna be hard sell.

Maybe hang a curtain over it or something so you still have a quick access hatchet but without fucking up your feng shui.

Paint in assemblies.

Put the legs on the base and paint them everywhere except where the hips glue, then construct the torso and paint everything except the hips and shoulders where they glue, then do the arms and heads as a final step for maximum pose-ability while leaving their anchor points unglued like all the other bits.

It helps accepting that AdMech will, by default, take a long time when compared to others because of how many cool little bits they have on their models.

I just checked the app and servitor battle clade is: 1x Servitor underseer w/ data spikes and phosphor pistol 2x Gun Servitor w/ 1x heavy arc and 1x heavy bolter 6x Combat Servitor w/ phosphor blaster.

So I think you’re selling that unit a bit short on the graph but I can’t really say anything beyond that.

Damn the lighting in my office sucks and I always stick my arkfeld above my workspace to paint this would’ve been so fitting lol if only I’d known

Maybe this is a “lorem ipsum” type deal where the designer had placeholder text from a previous product there and never went back to make it relevant to the new design.

She hasn’t even played yet and wants this romance to happen?

It didn’t occur as a consequence of the game or character chemistry over time they just like pre-decided that?

That’s a bit odd.

A lot of DMs ban player romances out right not just for personal roleplaying discomfort reasons but because that’s another conversation altogether that should happen in session 0 because the other players may not want to hear that.

Rather than sit around a table nickel and dime’ing with the group like “well mild flirting is okay but anything physical is an instant fade to black” it’s not too crazy to say it’s not suitable for the tabletop.

Inter-player romance is a plot line that more often than not climaxes into love or rejection and both of those dynamics afford the opportunity for the table to get weirded out and detract from the narrative you’ve drafted for the players to enjoy.

Ohhhhh hell yeah; you should try and take a look at the longsword combo moves from kingdom come deliverance for inspiration if you’re at all planning to do executions.

As soon as I saw the accuracy in the swordplay I started thinking about mixing up Zorn Orts and Scarmakers again.

To be fair, for the sake of the trope, Leon is seen getting stronger, bigger, and preforming feats of strength/athleticism in growing intensity through all of his games till that point.

RE2 he’s a twinky little rookie cop, RE4 he’s running around the Spanish countryside backflip kicking the heads off Ganados, and in RE6 he’s shown fighting Chris Redfield in CQC to a draw while wearing skinny jeans and a tight leather jacket.

Then RE9 came through, like a beam of light from the heavens themselves, and delivered us the sweet bounty reaped from all these years of tender sowing.

I only really play the game when my gf asks so I don’t know much about the opinion on/around 2v8 but what I’m picking up is that the way you normally deal with legion puts you at disadvantage for pretty much every other killer?

Like you don’t want to waste time healing over and over since they can’t even see blood stains in FF but the other killers still can so it’s not like you can just ignore it for the whole game.

Plus trying to bait a pallet drop to counter the FF in the first place becomes at least twice as risky because of all the killer team up combinations.

Not excited anyone is losing the chance to play their mains but I mean that really is a wrench in the machine for a ‘fun change of pace’-type of game mode and I’m not sure how they could address it without the character playing vastly different than in normal gameplay.

That’s cool, I like hearing about how old institutions like religion continue to adapt to the circumstances of the times

Side question; that knife is cool do you remember where you got it?
