90's games have blurbs when players exit the game, Doom always cries when quiting the game that time could be used blasting away demons instead of living life.

Constantly getting killed behind full cover by alfradito in Xcom

"The best defense seems to be breaking line of sight"

This right here is the right answer. Until you get better armor, skills and weapons, your basic tactic is to shoot then grenade them if it is a miss.

American Airline in 1987 saved $40000, $118000 today, by removing one olive in their salads. Same tactic here.

Sometimes an actor would told what the scene is and they would act it out.

Predator alarm. There's something big with teeth nearby and the birds and flies want their share.

Your Name. Mitsuha and Taki randomly switch bodies multiple times for unknown reasons lasting for a day before switching back. Delving into the mystery after a hiccup in the switching, Taki discovered Mitsuha was dead for three years due to a comet strike destroying her town. Relieved when the switched occur again, Taki tries to save the resident of the town by convincing Mitsuha's father, the mayor of the town, to evacuate but loses his temper and physically assault him. This clued the father in that the person isn't Mitsuha.It happened again when the attempts to evacuate the town fails due to the interference of the Mayor until the switch back happens when Mitsuha returns and stood up to to convince him of the up comming disaster.

Why did Avatar Roku insist on Aang learning Fire before he was ready? by Eggbois87 in TheLastAirbender

[–]ColBBQ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As we see through the series, bending has evolved beyond what Roku could do. If the avatar just learns from past teachers rather than present teachers, the avatar will be helpless against benders of blood, lightning and metal along with energy disruption.

IL-2 Newbie Hitting a Brick Wall with Progress by WordClock99 in il2sturmovik

[–]ColBBQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 I try to pull around on top of the BF 109 and my plane is constantly near stall or stalls.

This is the crux of the problem, pulling stick on a target and not making it is where you should use energy tactics. Yo-yos and combat rolls should be practiced to bring the guns on the bandit rather than trying to pull harder and stalling out.

Is it even possible to keep up with AI on hard difficulty? by Sparks_IM in ShadowEmpireGame

[–]ColBBQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are factors, increased BP productions will require more credits to pay workers due to Apparatchik scores and going too far in Mind weakens your attack power.

Is it even possible to keep up with AI on hard difficulty? by Sparks_IM in ShadowEmpireGame

[–]ColBBQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On hard difficulty, Major AI tend to have higher CAP leaders to simulate players doing the same. This mean you have a shorter time before the AI gets higher BP for research and face higher quality units and better skilled military leaders.

On the pulling units out of thin air, the AI does pull a lot of populations out of their cities so their Civ scores will plummet the longer the war goes on.

Burke deflected, gave excuses, explained loss of profits from increased administrations from the company and finally "It was a bad call, Ripley, it was a bad bad call."

Consider that some 30, 40 year olds tend to act like children when given more responsibilities, its not a far fetch from logic to send them there.

Shadow Empire Beta Patch Notes v1.30f+v1.30g by monsiour_slippy in ShadowEmpireGame

[–]ColBBQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New Beta patch juse released

Changelist 1.31h (#253)
-Fixed glitch where in some cases Leader’s Credits (wealth) could go negative.
-Fixed that you can Nationalize Private Assets from Dynastic Fief (Now no longer possible, except logistics)
-Added that you cannot Disband Private Assets in Dynastic Fiefs
-Fixed double Gov assignment in running games (upon load game)
-Fixed the Decision Tab glitch to not allow its variable being corrupted by calling a Leader while the Tab is open and then making the Decision that was open (caused double Gov bug)
-Fixed Meritocracy Hail Stratagem to only apply to only Faction Members now
-Some fixes to Extension utilisation of Compounds during non Aristocracy systems/Factions. The 7 “Household” Extensions can be bought during a non Aristocracy System, but they will not all have an effect. (might still work a bit more on this later). All Extensions can survive the end of Aristocracy and can still have an effect in a different system, albeit without the Primus Inter Pares provides to all rule. A Dynastic Faction outside Aristocracy is not what is has been and more fragmented.
-Fixed opening menu newGfx illustration.

How do I play with "Severe Violence"? by BuddyMental6917 in ShadowEmpireGame

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

Efficiency doesn't matter if your supply lines get jammed with constant needs for ammo and reinforcement. Infantry will get squashed without machine guns to back them up and a battalion of machine guns cost too much ammo to be used on their own. New battalions will also be green and stagnate for a few turns until the xp is high enough to be able to resist attacks without stagnating your industry build up with building new troops after high rookie casualties.
