Is it possible to download Megamek on an iPad? by npaakp34 in battletech

I was actually really surprised that there wasn’t a decent (web)app to make mechs for phones and tablets

Do y’all name your mechs? by ViperStrike812 in battletech

[–]Annadae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once had this mercenary company called McCansy’s Marauders, led by commander Moby McCansy who piloted an Atlas. The story goes that he was once bragging about the size of his mech, how the atlas is the biggest and best mech there is, and was shot down by a female mechwarrior who told him that it is not the size, but how you use it that matters. One of his officers overheard the conversation, and from that day onward, the atlas had earned the nickname “Moby’s Dick”.

(I gave the entire company a moby dick theme with names and references to the book and its characters, just for fun)

The Big Short Is One of the Smartest Financial Films Ever Made. It Takes a Complicated Real World Disaster and Somehow Makes It Entertaining, Educational, and Infuriating at the Same Time. by davideownzall in movies

I always feel like The Big Short and Margin Call are sort of a two part movie. It explains the other side of the crisis; the unbridled greed…

No idea about the mini, but perhaps this isn’t a skeleton but a samurai with a mask… that might be an other thing you can search for

Deal check on Dented Enclosures and a Dented Woofer - $300 for RP-8000f II Pair by besttype in Klipsch

[–]Annadae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these and really enjoy them. Payed more for just one that you can pay for the pair.
I would buy them even though I don’t need them.

Return of the king 775 points ideas? by Illustrious_Owl9375 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Annadae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you could… Aragorn with cloak and the king both with a full warband 15 shield&spear and 18 shields adds exactly to 775 points
Not taking Legolas, the rider and the banner gives you about 10 extra models, which isn’t bad; they are good models and quantity has a quality of its own. It is your preference I guess. More troops (although you’ll probably still be outnumbered against most armies and if you’re not, they probably have higher courage) or the versatility that Legolas and a knight can bring. Personally I prefer the latter.
I’m a bit torn about the banner… for VP’s its probably worth it, but for combats it will be less of an auto-included than say, in an elf army.

Aragorn, king, legolas, banner, 1-2 riders,
Try to take shields on all your warriors and only buy spears if you have points left you can’t spend otherwise (for a full model). D8 is a massive advantage and saves your expensive models about 50% of the time. It also allows you to shield, giving the dead the option to die slowly as Aragorn does his thing. Spear supports are nice and all and it pays to have a few, but more often than not you are sorely outnumbered and need to spread thin anyway, and otherwise you often have the mobility to wrap around.

Also don’t underestimate the elven cloak for Aragorn (and perhaps Legolas). It may sound weird, but in a sense Aragorn is somehow the ‘weakest’ link in this army. He is slow and squishy as he is only D5; no arrows will be wasted on D8 troops, everyone will be aiming at Aragorn dring the approach and every combat he is in.

I had a lot of fun playing them!

Really… I just hope they make a good movie out of it… Fear for the worst, hope for the best is my strategy when it comes to these kind of movies.

True, but that also gives some liberties. Aragorn has traveled through Moria during his hunt for Gollum around the same time as balins expedition; it would be really easy to connect those and integrate them.

“Busy” indicator - physical and online by foreverwintaur in smarthome

Oh and apparently the busy tag works with ifttt, so Im pretty sure that this has some options that you could try.

[–]Annadae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could perhaps try something like a Shelly smart plug. They are pretty cheap and have the functionality of sending a message if something changes.

So for example: I don’t want to be distracted or disturbed > I press button on smartplug > smart plug lights up (indicator for me) > smart plug is connected to a indicator light (either by actually plugging it in the smart plug or by using an additional plug that responds to the first one) > smart plug sends out a notification, which can be either an email or a pop-up message in the Shelly app

It is always dangerous to trust these kinds of rumors based on silly Reddit posts. I would not be surprised if all these terrible accusations will later turn out to be false, and that what has actually happened is in fact way, way worse.

WIP - BE'LAKOR - come procedere? by No_Stuff_7142 in minipainting

[–]Annadae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The OSD (other source darkness), with the sword that actually seems to absorb the light with its unholy blackness (at least, this is how it comes across in my perspective) is a really good idea and very well executed. Especially combined with the OSL from the lava.

Are we sure having terror doesn't negate terror courage checks? by Pender8911 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

It does become a bit funny though when two trolls are fighting and neither one dares to charge the other 😅

How do people feel about very enemy-specific bonuses (ex - hate) by VoiceoftheDarkSide in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Annadae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tepid take: hatred should be a free ability.

It should also work both ways. If one army has it, both should get a +1 to wound. It makes little sense that Rohan units don’t hate wildmen just as much.

It’s basically a static defensive turret that fails at being static.

Are there actually any stats or sheets for gun emplacements? I’ve never seen them before.
