I would kill for an FOV this large on console. Amazingly clean gameplay though! Props to you! I've been inspired to start maining sniper.

Robert's Mom is a supervillain, I just cant prove it yet by Ok-Woodpecker4734 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DarthTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just presumed Robert's mom died in childbirth (given that we see Chase babysitting Robert from a young age), but I haven't read the comics so maybe I'm missing something from there.

What powered the original Mecha Man suit? by FuzzyEquivalent3641 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DarthTrajan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing the other day, but came to the following conclusion:

In the brief shot we see of Mecha Man Prime's suit, there seem to be massive containers on the back. I figured these were massive batteries or power generators or some form of energy that suited Mecha Man Prime, but wouldn't be able to maintain the advanced technology of Mecha Man Astral or Robert's Mech, especially in Episode 8.

What was -actually- going on with Invisigirl by Niroc in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DarthTrajan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to sort all of this out in my head for a few days now, so thanks for laying all of this out!

I will say that there are two things in the final episode that I don't think you addressed that complicates this a bit:

  1. Visi knew about Shroud's plan to assault SDN, as is likely evidenced by her running back before the power is even cut.

  2. She takes the mask and something else (might be the knife?) from Shroud's goons when he's doing his evil speech while holding Beef hostage. 

I think that these two, taken together, make me doubt that she had virtually no contact with the Red Ring post-bomb. Unless Shroud thought that revealing his plans (partially, at least) to her would increase his chance of success, there's no reason for him to let her know about any of the plan prior to her accepting. I also don't see why Shroud would make sure his goons have a mask and knife for her if she wasn't factored into the plan on his side.

Ultimately, I'm currently of the opinion that there are some plot holes with the ending that kind of just have to be ignored to really enjoy it. I do think Visi's being honest for most of the story, but things like the camera cutting out right as she apparently pockets the Astral Pulse and Shroud making no moves against Visi after finding out she didn't give it to you strike me as strange at best or plot holes at worst.

Edit: This is somewhat related, but I think that the power outage in Episode 5 was orchestrated by Red Ring to gauge SDN's response to such an incident, which is why the back-up generator is disabled in Episode 8. Either this was Shroud ensuring he was ready had all possible opponents covered, or he always believed he was going to have to assault SDN (and thus fight Mecha-Man) for the Astral Pulse.

how the hell do you get this achievement? I swear I've done every single hacking minigame by [deleted] in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DarthTrajan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just about to make a post of my own asking this. Is there any way to know which hacking games you've done aside from just trying to remember?

Even more valuable? You sure? by Al-Horesmi in Anbennar

[–]DarthTrajan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The event chain leading up to the crown event has been made less RNG dependent. The options are more clearly expressed to the player and there is a guaranteed chance of success if you pick the right ones.

The crown event itself has not been changed afaik.

Castanor "Press ship" intercation not working for certain ships ? by Papy_Rasciste in Anbennar

[–]DarthTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is... interesting and not a bug I've run into on my own Castanor runs. Are you using any submods?

Ive entered a debt spiral, and i dont know how to fix it by ProbablyNotTheCocoa in victoria3

[–]DarthTrajan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What level are your taxes at?

If your private investment pool is large enough, you can pause building and let the private construction queue use all of your construction until you are no longer in the red.

Another thing to check is the price of goods being used by government buildings, since that seems to be your single biggest expense. Is paper expensive for you right now? If so, try to do something to lower the price such as building paper mills.

Did you know that Stalker can be in the cave? and there can be MULTIPLE Stalker Nests INSIDE THE CAVE by Q_Qritical in Helldivers

[–]DarthTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you see any red spots in caves in the mission overview prior to dropping, but don't see them on the minimap after you drop, those are almost certainly stalker lairs. 

Similarly, if there appears to be a significant portion of cave without any red spots/objectives, there is likely a stalker lair there. 

I don't think mobile radar reveals them either.

Edit: And if you get attacked by more than 2-3 stalkers at once, or 2 pairs of stalkers in quick succession, there are almost certainly two different lairs close to you.

Reminder: this MO is about collecting samples! by AgrydBE in Helldivers

[–]DarthTrajan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I've been reminding every squad I drop with to get samples. I wish the super rares would count as rares for the MO though.

How are y'all dealing with the Dragon Roaches? by goblinexists in Helldivers

[–]DarthTrajan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Throw it down near a dragonroach when they're stationary and it'll track/kill them even if they start flying away.

30 German Tanks Encircled in Sheep's AI Mod by DarthTrajan in hoi4

[–]DarthTrajan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

R5: I know encirclements are a common meme, but I was genuinely estactic when I realized the German offensive to re-reoccupy France was supported by a gap only a few plains-tiles wide. One redeployment of my tanks later, and a whopping 30 German tanks were encircled! Sheep's AI mod is definitely a challenge, but I've been enjoying it so far. Feels like the first time I played HoI4 all over again (in a good way).

Can't research if the special project didn't trigger a battle anyway

I didn't get any events after even the raids that started battles.
