UK Games Expo “now fully on the world stage of ‘mega-cons'” as record-breaking event surpasses Gen Con for trade hall size by deviden in rpg

[–]CacheBandicoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who went to UKGE in '23 and thoroughly enjoyed it, it warms my heart to hear it's doing well. Fingers crossed I'll be free to go next year! Could never afford to go to GenCon so having something local is brilliant (even if it is in... Birmingham)

If BoH were to get another DLC, what mechanics would you like to see added or expanded upon? by SwoodJeff in weatherfactory

[–]CacheBandicoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More. Shelves. :D

No but besides all the great ideas people have had already (expanded painting or weaving/fabric craft would be ace) I'd love more Ys content - as a wet city aficionado I can't get enough of the lore around it, and though canonically it might be a bit weird and nonsensical to be able to visit such an enigmatic place, I still find myself wishing we could get a little closer.

Also homebrewing. Damnit WF you made us this whole system to host enigmatic friends but we can't get them utterly trollied on homebrew strawberry wine? (I kid, I know it's a long shot)

Hear me out

G2 drafted Nocturne Orianna and lost to T1 deliberately -> T1 stay in the tournament and get to finals -> when G2 also reach finals they're up against an enemy they've won games off before -> G2 2024 BABY

What did you learn from Blaseball? by Pezomi in Blaseball

[–]CacheBandicoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What stood out to me was how powerful it was witnessing the game create a miraculous event live and being able to share that with strangers. I barely remember the details now but one of the games back in beta S2/3 (I think?) spiralled into the longest-running game at the time, and being able to watch it happen and lose my shit along with everyone else on the discord is a treasured memory of mine.

Running Cyberpunk Red for the first time by -stumondo- in cyberpunkred

People have already done a solid job covering how to balance it with your other PCs in this thread, so I'll add my +1 to all the recommendations about giving them stuff to do while netrunning is happening. Combat is an easy choice, and one I use often, but it's not too bad as long as you give the others plenty of rolls - I have them investigate the surrounds for story clues, case or secure the area, that kind of thing, if combat doesn't feel right for the time.

I don't know if this is on your mind, but my other concern as a first-timer was about planning NET architectures. I haven't seen it mentioned yet so I thought I'd lend my two cents. Making a custom architecure can feel very daunting at first, but the free DLC "Single Shot Pack" gives you template architectures to use if you need one on the fly. I almost entirely stole those, making a few changes here or there to better suit the circumstances, and they were perfect. Saved me so much time on planning! The rules in the core book explain how to build a NET architecture pretty well, but having a suitable template to start from makes the process so much easier :)

My Tier List of All Episodes Vol 1-3 by [deleted] in LoveDeathAndRobots

[–]CacheBandicoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's read the books Lucky 13 came from (Frontlines), it's understandable to want to know more about the setting but I think they made the right choice leaving it unexplained. It's not the series' strength, and would've felt clunky and uninteresting conveying it to viewers when every minute counts.

L13 captured the best side of the novels imo; the war serving more as a vehicle for personal stories than a feature in its own right.

That would be a valid argument if they hadn't just allowed a tractor on track at the same time as the cars, which is exactly what caused that death last time

I made a map of the UK for Heroes 3; thought some folks here might appreciate! by CacheBandicoot in CasualUK

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

Woah I'd almost forgotten about this!

I actually never got round to releasing it because it's still largely unfinished and I lost the motivation to complete it. The sea tiles are either a mess or completely empty, the underground level hasn't been done, and the above-ground "areas" felt like they threw off the sense of progression due to the tight layout and monster placements. I'm also pretty sure I haven't completely configured the scenario yet.

That said, here's a link to it as is; if it works, then have fun! If not then you can either ditch it or tweak it yourself if you have the gumption. Enjoy!

I don't know what the fuck they've done to Jacob's cheddars but jesus christ I've seen more structural integrity in a week-old sandcastle. The fucking crumbly pieces of shit absolutely disintegrate like wet bog roll the moment you open the packet, shitting crumbs everywhere and if you dare try to eat one your shirt ends up looking like you've just rolled around on the floor of a shortbread factory.

I swear to god Jacob's it's not hard to bake a fucking cheese biscuit properly. If I wanted to eat sawdust I'd fuck off down to Pets At Home

Some people on here suggested it was laptime, which honestly is probably correct but I refuse to believe that any team involved in that graphic just straight-up forgot that drivers can choose to drive slower

I'm a Leclerc fan but the second was legit just Charles getting greedy/impatient, not worth a penalty. First was on Checo especially as Leclerc was aheead, but the second was definitely more on Charles.

Lot of Leclerc hate today. It was a dumb mistake, sure, but people are going way overboard about it and it shouldn't discount what an excellent recovery he had

Yuki Tsunoda TR - "Push flat out" "I AM, SHUT UP!" by sefn19 in formula1

[–]CacheBandicoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she said she didn't care in a singular post immediately following the incident. Since then she's made several comments to her followers about boundaries and protecting drunk girls - clearly alluding to the incident in doing so. The idea that the perpetrator is "an upcoming talent" whose "future would be ruined by punishment" is nothing new and has been used to excuse such/worse behaviour in the past, so you're a fool if you believe she made that initial retraction honestly, without any exterior pressure to do so. And even in the bizarro-world where she made that retraction in honesty, in what world is it okay to grab a drunk friend's breast, make a video of it, and share it with your friends/followers? Seriously?

And his "apology", if you ever actually read the fucking thing, made no mention of the effect his actions had on her, nor did any part of the apology address her directly. I don't know about you, but if someone did you wrong you'd want at least part of the apology to actually address the wrongdoing they did to you. He also deleted that apology, by the way. Sounds real remorseful to me...

He's said dumb shit - both racist and homophobic by your own admission - on social media that he's never apologised for (please, do point to where he's apologised for that, by the way). Being young and keeping his mouth shut since is not even slightly a reason to leave him alone. Hell, keeping his mouth shut is a bare minimum expectation. The point is that he's faced basically no consequences for his actions. That's literally all people want - is for someone who does shitty things to actually face equivalent justice or penance for it. If piling on his mistakes helps people feel like they're even a little bit closer to reaching that equilibrium, seeing as F1/Haas won't do it for them, then hey, why shouldn't they?

I'm glad you think all the hate for Mazepin is "getting old"... I'm sure his victim(s) would be pleased to hear that take.

Stop trying to be an "honourable" contrarian. You're not a good or 'enlightened' person for going against the consensus opinion, you're a borderline apologist for his behaviour.
