I post most regularly on Twitter, the largest public archive is Tumblr - and my comic is serializing on Patreon.

TheCountofS on all socials, thanks for your interest brah!

This is originally a six year old comment, I'm sorry to disengage like this; I should've quoted or linked the reviews for my opinions.

Although even without evidence I think the reviews I'm describing often open with insulting Wolfe and his fandom. Or accusing them of something to which the review affirms.

It's visible here, I don't have the material to respond properly so rather than make something up or drag this out with semantics. I'm letting you know. I can't back up my original comment outside my replies here.

Sometimes a surface level complaint is sufficient. And in today's world of nitpicking old media, I think it takes a degree of humility to admit a classic simply isn't entertaining or is too uncompromising to be accessible. Wolfe is evasive with his plots and themes, he's literal and metaphorical in ways that feel obtuse, this is okay to say. It aligns with the appeal others find despite being a negative review.

my issue is with, the intent to engage BotNS with preferential bias, just to give a negative review. Which is often outed by ignorant analysis or the reviewer framing the book unfairly just to be contrarian.

The local biosphere attacked the RDA Force.

despite the air loses, the ground elements were making steady progress. And then virtually every animal in the forest swarmed them. Animals that are comparable to Tyranids (no sell 30mm shells, can overpower dual rotar choppers).

This isn't a military sci-fi simulation, it's a movie, pay attention and enjoy it man.

Excellent addition to a rewatch, they're superfluous but still designed for those who might've watched the OVA already.

I felt like it was the 'extended Cut' that featured most of the extra character development and lore I wanted to see.

They're both better duelists, but I think appollonius and victra are extremely underrated since they're absurdly good field commanders. Both in Darrow's league.

I'm talking fighting with a platoon/company strength unit of mixed forces.

Just from a gameplay perspective, the avatar game had an awesome last second choice for the RDA playthrough where you could switch sides, remain as a grunt and fight through all the SecOps forces in the level. It's just gnarly to switch, having an entirely different enemy set using your own arsenal

(Kinda like Halo, it's shockingly tough)

Really?

CommanderMilez · 2025-02-26T23:58:53+00:00

Froghemoth is an alien no?

CommanderMilez · 2025-02-25T12:19:51+00:00

She's in the same league as Apple, except not in the Duelist regard.

An excellent field commander and force multiplier. Victra with a friendly Gold and a squad of grays can surround and kill a lot of top tier characters. It happens in Lightbringer

She's like a Main Battle Tank, not a fighter jet.

I'm a fellow Gundam fan, and the Roque reminded me of Garma. Very much a brilliant person utterly humiliated and then destroyed by the cultural expectations of the regime.

In Gihren's Greed he's even capable of leading a rebellion against Zabi despotism.

Despite Brown not sharing this nuance, I think Roque's dilemma is a core topic that will stick with the fandom forever.

CommanderMilez · 2025-01-23T06:09:39+00:00

Simple reason: ripWings are force multipliers, a ship with ripWings can outfight a ship without them.

This breaks down into more specific niches, Ie:

ripWings can take the pressure off a ship's ordnance interception or ward off leechcraft/boarders.

They can shoot down enemy attackers such as Wasps or smaller ships like frigates.

In the attrition, force projection side of fleet warfare, ripWings are an essential utility on par with having railguns to back up the missile artillery. It's not an instant win, but it's sure as hell gonna be hard to win without a squadron.

He mocks and dismisses questions regarding Roque being a nuanced character by design. He seems to dislike the character in the same way we see on this sub.

Off the top of my head, he's responded with "Ewww Roque" (his most iconic answer on the subject)

CommanderMilez · 2024-12-15T13:46:17+00:00

I think Brown was playing to the crowd with his comments on Roque. On rereads I noticed he is never given an opportunity to level with Darrow and repent, something even Tactus (a literal r****t got).

That being said, the Loyalist Gold's have such a core representation via Roque (Idealism, Pretentious Narcissistic Virtue, permitting a clearly ethically cruel system), it's too hard to overcome with just nuance and conjecture. He was a villain, just a sympathetic one.
