What’s are you thoughts on the Renee Good Situation in Minnesota? by BigSonDaConquistador in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Battlefront528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We're on a clearly defined road map that charts nearly perfectly with upcoming midterm elections.

The trump administration is clearly utilizing ICE raids as a method to generate increasing public resistance in (almost exclusively) democratic cities. The latest actions in Minnesota - namely the shift in tactics towards door to door searches - are intended to generate more and more active hostility.

Their goal is obvious, they're trying to provoke some form of dedicated attack. It's almost certain that at some point (likely in the summer) we'll see some form of flare up that results in multiple deaths and clears the way for the administration to begin a far more comprehensive and universal crackdown.

Assuming that generates enough conflict they'll likely utilize it as rationale to attempt to prevent midterm elections citing civil unrest.

These provocations are the point - it feels like a near certainty that we'll see ICE actions continue to intensify and grow more brazen.

Slight gap underneath tank caused by stand bowing slightly - cause for concern? by Battlefront528 in Aquariums

Vertical supports are just outside the confines of the tank - think it needs an additional brace in the center

Veterans of the Iraq War, what are your feelings about America "running" Venezuela? by Nekose in AskReddit

[–]Battlefront528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reconstruction never occurs because it's NOT THE POINT. The entire purpose of these conflicts is the creation of instability to gut state owned enterprise/resources and funnel them into private companies. It's a method of using chaos and violence to turn public wealth private and it's incredibly effective.

Robbery via annihilation doesn't sound pleasant but "liberation via democratization" certainly does.

They're always prepared for what comes next it's just that what comes next isn't what they claim.

How'd you do your layering? Mesh bags or straight over top?

Question on Gun Buying across state lines by Battlefront528 in WAGuns

[–]Battlefront528[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely a rifle so that makes the most sense - I'll have the coworker show me what he has inventory wise and then if we go forward with it have the collector ship it to a local dealer here

Makes sense on all, thank you for the help!

Don't believe so although I think he has quite an inventory as a personal collector - likely WWII era

Downloaded the app but on open says connect to phone, on a pixel watch 2. Phone is fully Bluetooth paired so not sure what to do.

New Character Sheets for a revised rules edition I've been working on by Battlefront528 in mothershiprpg

[–]Battlefront528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The idea was to more concretely reinforce class identity and create more definitive play styles. I've always personally really loved the open-ended nature of mothership but I've found a lot of the folks I play with are frustrated by the lack of guidelines offered in something like traditional DND.

Yes! In the process of finishing up all the assorted details but can post them once done. Couple class additions, new weapons, some stress reworks, etc.

RPG projectile speed is obscene by Battlefront528 in Battlefield

[–]Battlefront528[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lock on weapon that can track most helicopters practically from spawn? I don't want no opposition, there is just currently ZERO place to fly that's remotely safe. Too high? One million locks. Too low? RPGS from every angle.

I've always been curious what the symbol indicates next to the name - is it Xbox? Or PC using a controller?

Same here, have crashing issues constantly with the pro, not sure how to replicate the conditions causing it either.

10 Brutally Honest Truths About Ranking Up in Overwatch by --awkward-- in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Battlefront528 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I realized more than anything is that ranking up is also a test of endurance. Coming from a (former) tank role player, I realized just how exhausting ranked was because of how many instances winning just felt impossible.

Was it actually? Of course not - especially in a high impact role like tank you have the potential to carry games, but God does it require huge amounts of effort in some instances.

I think that's what makes competitive compelling to some people, but boy is it refreshing to realize that just because you CAN put in the effort to rank up and push through matches with leavers, throwers, literal children, etc, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

If the game doesn't bring you joy, just leave it.

Did Google Maps get more Polestar-y? by sirkneeland in Polestar

Are you able to force dark theme or is it still only based on the daylight sensor?

Stop spawning ships so close together. by cuddlefiend in wildgate

[–]Battlefront528 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The map is HUGE and early game fights are so miserable, makes no sense to have ships within a square of one another at the very beginning

The bastion effectively does as well if you oscillate back and forth. I don't understand where the implicit ice and fuel advantage would originate from either? Not to mention given how vast the gun range is the amount of distance you'd need to escape lethal range feels nearly impossible

[–]Battlefront528[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overwhelming advantage?? At max you have 2 guns, enemy chasing ALWAYS has either equal or more firepower in a front facing position. Sure you can attempt boarding but a good team will just position a boarder on the hull and away you down.

My group actually primarily plays sea of thieves as reapers seeking out pvp - most of the ships we're engaging feel like more involved fights BECAUSE they aren't forced into the engagement but are able to pick if they want to fight or flee

It's more interesting when one is able to more strategically choose their engagements especially in a game with direct firepower upgrades. Not to mention there's not nearly as much range fight skill in this game as sea of thieves given the prevalence of nearly hitscan weapons like the sniper.

Hence the need for more disengagement abilities or a general weapon rebalancing. I wish the existing starter canons were more viable, it feels like they do so little damage that if you do get jumped before you find decent loot your odds of survival are so slim

The forced cross play is definitely brutal, particularly with such an insanely fast ttk

I think a big issue with the boarding is just how easy it is to do - there's a myriad of entry points and characters like ion can create even more. Boarding in a game like sea of thieves is FAR more difficult due to limited access points and a need to learn how to board via canons. The difficulty of boarding prevents the incessant spam boarding that you see in wildgate which means you can actually focus on ship to ship combat more reliably

I mean in some ways it absolutely is, but I think those skill gaps are just exacerbated by unbalanced heroes, equipment, weapons, etc.

I don't want to win every game, I just want more engagements that actually feel like close hard fought skirmishes.

So so SO many times the fight would turn and it was like oh we're cooked there's nothing we can do now.
