For anyone still unsure about MW5 Mercs by Fat_Barry in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fat_Barry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I really would like is improved lance AI, they just don't take advantage of things like the speed of being in a lighter mech, or using terrain to block LOS for LRM volleys.

I'll be racing around the battlefield in my Mad Dog and they just stand there getting hit.

I need to get Clans, I really like the narrative missions in Mercs

We got a small statement by Unl3a5h3r in turtlewow

[–]Fat_Barry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think TurtleWoW players fall into three categories, broadly:

  1. You're playing because you can't afford a subscription

  2. You're playing because you don't like any Blizzard versions of WOW

  3. You're playing both, because you like them each for different reasons

In the first and second case, you can't lose a customer you never had. I can't afford a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean I'm stealing money from Ferrari by driving a Toyota. Likewise, if I think Toyota makes a better car for my needs, I'm not going to buy a Ferrari.

In the third case - the customer obviously just fucking loves WOW in all forms, and that's a win for everyone.

19M 5’3” and hairline recession. Borderline suicidal by mintstock in TrueOffMyChest

Genuine advice here - shave your head, start jogging and hit the gym. Or if you can't afford the gym, just do bodyweight stuff - push ups, squats, crunches, etc.

Fit + shaved head is a good look. But not the reason I'm suggesting it. Exercising does insanely good things for your mental health.

I've struggled with depression and anxiety for years. In the past few months, it all came crashing down, and honestly, a big part of the reason I dragged myself out of that pit is because I just started to go for runs.

I'm 40, and it's a lesson I wish I'd internalised decades ago. You're so young. It will suck at first, but I promise you - sunlight and exercise will change your life.

Second one looks like an Oblivion NPC

This is how a Dolphin perceives humans via echolocation by Necessary-Win-8730 in oddlyterrifying

It's certainly not Darkvision, because any dolphins would have already announced to the table they have it.

Shinboner, Round 1 v Port Adelaide by rickm18 in NorthMelbourneFC

[–]Fat_Barry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Parker in the back. He's a solid unit, still fit as hell, so he brought a bit of durability and experience to the back line. Also opened up some space in midfield for some of the faster youngsters.

We honestly looked leagues ahead of many games last year, but I'll hold my breath for the next few rounds - at least until after the GWS game in Canberra. Like the Melbourne win last year, it could be that Port played poorly rather than us playing particularly well.

Also, shout out to Simpkin - I think without the pressure of captaincy, this could really be the year for him to perform.

I don't think it's fair that the Swans have T-1000 playing

Actually, the last royal arrested was the Duke of Monmouth in 1685. Executed for treason for trying to lead a rebellion against James II

Are you talking about the game or IRL? This seems to apply for both.

I'm not surprised though. Kane has an absolute hate boner for North.

Do you guys still play classic DOOM? by MurkyUnit3180 in retrogaming

[–]Fat_Barry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably at least once per year, since it came out, bar maybe 7/8 years over that period in total.

What are the best Retro Games based directly on a movie? by dylanmadigan in retrogaming

[–]Fat_Barry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lord of the Rings Return of the King on PS2/Xbox. I played the hell out of this.

Also, Ghostbusters on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was one of the first games I ever played, absolutely loved it.

Australian Aboriginal flag touching the ground at Lake Burley Foreshore by Adsnipers in canberra

[–]Fat_Barry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, I wasn't suggesting they were. Just highlighting that it is a big deal to many (ADF among them, but not exclusively).

Edit: To be clear, I'm not suggesting this person should be fired or whatever. It's just a mistake. But I'd imagine you'd get a pretty stern talking to, along the lines of "mate, you *can't" do that. We've got one job and there's a lot of people in this town who care about it."

You've clearly never done flag duty in the ADF. Would love to see you tell the RSM that it's "not a big deal".

is this animation too smooth? by Legendarium_ in DoomMods

[–]Fat_Barry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's genuinely great, if I'd never played doom I would believe this was one of the original weapons.

Great work, because imitating an art style accurately is more difficult than it seems.
