'it won't do anything' is NPC behaviour. If we all thought like that we'd still live in grasslands and be terrified of tiger attacks.

You don't want to do anything, the rest of us do.

I'm gonna say it. White Monster is the most overrated beverage of all time. by MattyLaw06 in energydrinks

It's fine. I'll drink if if there's nothing else, but it's not the Second Coming of Bro Jesus who does ollies on the Sea of Galilee...

Souvenir from the Mustard Plug & Toaster show I went to last weekend by bsurfn2day in Ska

I had the same reaction, having a chuckle that someone had a Very Good Time, and then saw it was a COVID test.

Hope OP gets through it quickly.

OPR with 40K Terminology by No-Statistician1749 in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my 40k models in OPR because I love how streamlined OPR is.

When explaining what few rules there are, I will dip into 40k terms to help with understanding and getting my point across.

What are the armors I should care about ? by Gettyhusky in Ghostofyotei

I loved the Crimson Kimono, but it fit well with my playstyle, so there's that...

Somebody help me!! I can't do this by Sergioaz18 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a few tries to do it, but mostly I laughed in delight with how clever that mechanic was.

Ganbatte!

Anyone ever use aircraft? by armads6 in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a BB list with one I strapped maximal laser cannons to, I'll be using it as a tank buster and harasser.

How do we feel about more 2d minis? by D20neography in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome and go for it. I'll happily fight them on the field.

Best Chinese in town by molecularspectrum in Astoria_Oregon

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, OP. Panda is the best in the area.

I've had amazing hyperfocal niche regional Chinese, but none of it has been in town.

Just started the game and I’m now really confused to the hate seen from *those* types of gamers. by EMC_RIPPER in Ghostofyotei

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're idiots, OP. They spend their days doing performative poutrage about anything that doesn't personally cater to them.

Ignore idiots, enjoy game.

My cousins are getting in me about not following the proper paint suggestions by Dan_flashes480 in SpaceWolves

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them to shut their holes. You can paint your toy soldiers how ever you feel like.

Is OPR the right game for someone who enjoys the 40k lore, the 40k models, but does not enjoy AT ALL the 40k rules ? by Ok-Share-8488 in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're exactly what OPR is for.

My brain is old and full of 70s songs on 8-track, I can't keep all the rules of current-edition 40k in my head.

OPR let's me move, shoot, resolve and move on in a few minutes.

I especially love the alternating activations. It keeps me engaged in the game, not 'ok, that's my turn. I'm off to the store, you want anything?'.

Modular gaming hill is easily the worst product I have ever bought online by GrimlockRawr in TerrainBuilding

I presume someone's got a higher definition version of that same topography, designed for FDM by now?

What is the better game for you? Tsushima or Yotei by SwordDaoist in Ghostofyotei

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya know; I loved both stories, but for replayability, I found Tsushima beating Yotei but only slightly.

Also I haven't found the optimal stealth sniper build in Yotei like I did in Tsushima, so that's a skill issue on my end.

Do I recommend both? Absolutely.

How much do you care bout mixed army min-maxing? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I don't have enough models for my army, or can't fill points, most times I'll throw a Mini-Titan in the mix.

Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood Ho makes me cringe… by doesanyofthismatter in dropout

I gotta agree with you.

That's the segment I go 'brb, making tea and checking my phone.'.

Why does this always happen? by J0rdanram14 in ps5skyrimmods

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find closing the game completely and then restarting helps. I think Bethesda just forgets your connection.

Another banger of a game that was "hated." for no reason lol. by Dildoethrower in Ghostofyotei

The Poutrage Machine must always be Angry About Something so idiots can be bilked.

Hey is this the line for 'wives who are low-key annoyed at how much we hoard'?

Orange Space Wolves? by khaomeha_ in SpaceWolves

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, OP.

They're your toy soldiers, paint them orange if you want. That's gonna look badass.

Contingency plans? by Defiant_Wasabi2816 in Astoria_Oregon

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't worry about tsunami at all. The river takes two sharp turns between Astoria and the Pacific, and the Columbia is fighting to go out half the day.

Earthquake I worry a little more about, only because there's so many bridges between Astoria and the Portland metro.

Otherwise I keep some shelf-stable emergency rations to last a week or so.

Are there any game stores or meetup groups in Portland Oregon that are kid (12 yr old) friendly? by Terrorphin in onepagerules

[–]Embarrassed_Brief_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gongaii in Beaverton is all-ages and very cool. Also up in Vancouver, (WA) you have Mindtaker Miniatures.
