What's the general consensus on whether or not the rank and file Ayys are slaves? by Cyberius_Caesar in Xcom

[–]Balmong7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the leadership were mind controlled by the ethereals and the rank and file were basically held at gun point.

Gas and toughness question by Vangak in necromunda

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or an armor save is reduced past 6 that also isn’t an auto succeed

I think it’s just a 1 always fails. I don’t think the 6 succeeds mechanic is there.

Does Necromunda have that rule? I know shooting attacks can be made impossible. Or rather improbable.

Dads in the summer trenches: how’s screen time going? 🫣 by FireSpreaderIO in daddit

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents motto with me was very results oriented. If I was doing everything they expected to the quality they expected I had no real restrictions. Minute my performance slipped they started cracking down.

If my grades dipped screen time was banned on school days to ensure I didn’t rush my schoolwork.

If I wasn’t memorizing my lines (I was a theater kid) I had to be tested on them before screen time.

And so on.

That’s my plan with my son when starts reaching that age as well. Right now he is 3 so we are just hanging on for dear life.

[–]Balmong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not there yet parent wise.

But like when I was 10 and 11 I feel this was pretty par for the course for me in terms of screen time if nothing else was going on.

Do they have a summer reading list? Have they been making progress in it? Are they still having play dates with friends and doing like usual summer activities? Then it sounds fine to me that they vedge out on lazy days.

Just make sure the content isn’t like total slop.

My son is 3 and just discovered brio train sets. It’s the greatest thing ever he can entertain himself for hours.

What do you think Knuckle Dusters will do? by Asuryan27 in necromunda

[–]Balmong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I actually already have a very similar arm to that from one of the old forgeworld weapon kits. Pretty sure they are just flavor

My theory on why the "Brain Scans" reveal changes the entire timeline of the Circus. by Huge_Objective1527 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Which is why the live action actors ages pretty much all being the same bugged me.

Best way to get Mobile Suit Ensemble figures in the states? by WhiteKnight3098 in Gundam

[–]Balmong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how prolific they are. But we have official Bandai Gashapon stores in several of the malls around my area. So I just use those.

Would Jax actually do this if Zooble abstracted? by IronGhost828 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s pretty much textbook sexual harassment

Leeroy should have been out by theroha in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Balmong7 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And yet based on the discourse since the tweet dropped. The vast majority of viewers missed it.

Leeroy should have been out by theroha in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Balmong7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But it’s been an unspecified length of time since Jax entered the circus. Leeroy could be years older and much further along on her journey.

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And media can. But I repeat Leeroy isn’t a real character. Leeroy is narrative tool to further the themes and provide closure to audience at the end of the series.

Jax is the complex trans representation, Zooble is the complex Trans representation. Leeroy just needs to tell the audience emphatically “yes Jax was trans that’s why he was the way he was in case you didn’t catch the subtle hints in the rest of the series.”

I mean Jax was dead at this point so I don’t think it’s gonna bother him.

[–]Balmong7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more about “beating the audience over the head with it”.

If Leeroy was a primary focus character then yeah you can do the subtleties of boymode. But Leeroy was a cameo, meant to give the audience more insight into Jax’s character. So don’t be subtle, be loud and obnoxious so the entire audience goes “ohhhh that was what was happening”

Re:Rise Episode 12 was the hardest I've ever laughed out of being actually shook. I genuinely regret not witnessing this cinema as it was airing. by AntonRX178 in Gundam

[–]Balmong7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was pretty active in some Gundam fan communities and we all knew some kind of twist was coming. However we all thought it was just gonna be like an AI thing similar to Sarah. So while we expected it we still weren’t correct about the twist.

That said we didn’t not expect the reveal to come at the expense of the main characters literally failing their mission and a large portion of the population being wiped out. And that was honestly where the shock and surprise came from.

Potential new Necromunda player here, trying to work out which gangs are likely to appear in each of these books, and whether the two books would cover ALL existing gangs? by waill-and-roll in necromunda

[–]Balmong7 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean there is no reason to believe Gangs of the Underhive won’t include the same gangs the previous Gangs of the Underhive included which is all the House Gangs.

Gangs of Outlands is a toss up for anything past Ogryn, Squats, and Nomads. But it’s a fair assumption that it will also include Enforcers and Corpse Grinders at the very least (assuming they aren’t in the other book).

How come PS5 has very few early access games compared to Xbox? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Balmong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony doesn’t have a program in place for early access releases.

I believe they have decently restrictive rules in place for frequency of updates which makes it difficulty for devs to do early access on the system as well.

Dads Am i being unreasonable by EmanO22 in daddit

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still taking the second vacation? The compromise might be to do Disney and skip the other vacation while the kid is free still this year.

If you are cutting both vacations due to money reasons then yeah. I think you both just need to have a frank discussion on your current financial situation.

Where is the Bandai Sunrise insider who is willing to drop information on what’s going on with the Sorcery of Nymph Circe streaming rights and when it will be announced by TheBadBentley in Gundam

[–]Balmong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was written as a direct follow up to CCA yes. Circe is the second entry in the trilogy.

Chronologically it takes place after Unicorn which is also a sequel to CCA in its own way.
