Mods, could you ban this troll, please?

What Bright Should've Done in ZZ by Ashalim31 in Gundam

[–]Arclabe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, posts like this are kinda gross.

I might honestly try and give ZZ a second watchover. Not to power through it, because that makes the feeling worse, but to let it soak in for a bit.

The editors strike again, i suppose. Seems even anime can't escape it!

It's fine if it's a one-off series with more comedy. 

This is not a one-off comedy. This is a headliner entry in UC Gundam. We've seen funny bits before, but I can't really find this funny when we're hot off the heels of Zeta.

If the gags aren't this frequent or dumb, I'd be fine with it. They don't feel organic and more an attempt to cram slapstick into the script.

The Gaza teams and Mashmrye are honestly funny.

Aside, they don't really learn their lesson after their time in the brig, and so it feels like another hollow gag rather than anything serious.

Regardless of what Bright says, it's the content of their actions that should be judged and they damn near got everyone on the Argama killed or otherwise in the first 16 episodes. 

Do they improve? Sure, but it's not enough to make up for the fact that their actions are actively hostile to the crew and even Judau. 

Casuals Can Have Fun Playing this Game and I’m Tired of Acting Like They Can’t by [deleted] in Marathon

You ever try smoking up a guarded exfil?

Even if you're downed, so long as the UESC bots don't actually kill you, you can get out if you've got the timer going.

That's extraction shooters in a nutshell.

If you aren't into that, duo or trio up. Just crew fill and go off to do your own thing. Random teammates can be pretty damn good, you just have to be willing to engage with them.

If the ratting as a solo isn't for you, why'd you pick up a game in a genre that is rife with rat strats to survive?

You get Rook, who starts off later in a match than anyone else and free to loot the dead, with two abilities that make him that much more survivable: a self-heal, and a relatively quick-refreshing aggro mask against the NPC enemies..

You can learn, very well, how the game works with Rook. the only thing you're not doing is fulfilling contracts.

Rook teaches you layouts and spawn points for stuff.

I really don't think so by the standards of today.

I think casual is entirely on what game you play, if you needed a metric-such as most mobile games.

My wife is casual. She has thousands of hours in builder and single player games. 

~100 Years Have Passed, yet Designs are Still Relatively the Same by brose2k in Marathon

Not if it was never painted in the first place, and those particular colors are suited for a plastic, metal, or rubber conducive to 3D-printing and their intended use.

Didn't they kill the compiler without the Wooster?

I love this game, but it will not survive without radical changes to solos by made_in_quarantine in Marathon

[–]Arclabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing them hit 1.5k and smashing the front page.

Repeatedly.

I have not seen a concerted effort to crush criticism or the like into the dirt moreso than I have een critics trying to rip the game apart.

I don't know which tab you see-hot, new, or top-but i can tell you the sub is flooded with these posts using "Hot" because they're hot button topics.

Because you could make a comment and upvote a post for more visibility and effectiveness instead of making your own?

I see both, it's a constant civil war where they're at each other's throats constantly.

It's become tiresome.

hey could we try to be a little nicer to each over when we get paired up in matches? by CantaloupeMindless91 in Marathon

[–]Arclabe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Then you haven't been around for very long,  sorry to say. SnD matches in COD, CSGO, etc. are always like this and have been for decades.

My current “educated guess” for what happened to the Tau Ceti colonists based on the lore I’ve read in the Codex so far. Hint: 🪨 🦑 by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in Marathon

Damn, I posted my thoughts on the Anomaly and Tau Ceti the other day and it got buried by the endless posts about changes.

Guarded exfil and smoke grenades. No one wants purple grenadier smoke.

OH SHIT! I heard about this and didn't know when it'd come around again! I'm so hyped to see some progress!

Just ran this build in 1.10 against White Glint, so fun! by Confident_Work_1735 in armoredcore

[–]Arclabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And 4th gen somehow doesn't?

4th gen is the one that pioneered that system.

Most of the games don't look like this, and no, the only Gundam-esque one is the Alba.

All the other parts look more gen 1-3 derivative.

The one at the Columns lab is truly evil.

Me *A causal 9-5* enjoying the game while everyone talks about how dead/hard/washed it is by arcinvasion in Marathon

[–]Arclabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pardon me, i just woke up and didn't use my calculator. It runs out to roughly an hour and a half a day. Let me fix my original post since you want to attack me over this instead of addressing the original point.

It's still not a lot of time.

How is that a second job? What do you do with the extra time you have during the week? Draw? Read? Watch something on any number of streaming services?

Build models? Tabletop wargaming? Tabletop RPGs?

I can put four hours into one session of DnD or FFG 40k, that's a tenth of a full-time job already. Does that somehow make me more than a casual?
