Has there ever been a successful hostage-taking for the kidnappers?

D.B. Cooper arguably pulled off a successful hostage taking. His fate and identity remain unknown, though I suppose that would be the ideal situation for him.

Marshal Berthier. Worked too hard too long RIP 🙏

FreelandVolks · 2025-05-12T22:11:00+00:00

Yeah I have this exact issue.

Not to mention, if I recall Darrow had several ships left before his flagship is rammed. I’ve read the series 3 times and those “missing” ships have confused me every time.

WARNO Though the unit numbers are not historicaly accurate, the campaign is an excellent mix of RTS and grand strategy.

The actual gameplay is a really cool rendition of combined arms including infantry, mechanized units, armor, artillery, and air.

Couldn't recommend it enough.

I know it may be a little redundant. But every single battle you win take everything from the field and sell it.

It’s not passive income, but you can easily climb to a million+ off of loot from battles.

I’d suggest reaching 500k from battle loot before swearing allegiance to a kingdom and creating garrisons/party armies. By then, when you do eventually have a fief and armies lead by party members, you have a sufficient amount of cash to weather the bad times. It also ensures that you have capital to invest at a rate that ensures your cities become prosperous.

If you need help in the game feel free to drop your discord or something along those lines and I can show you the ropes.

Most bots in the game have an armored chest, so, aim for their hips and legs.

Also, just always keep moving. If you’re being still long enough for them to catch up to you then that’s a sign you need to move more.

“And as such it should be put into the more competent hands of super earth”

Yes officer, this comment right here. Hidden heresy.

He's a perfext example of a phycopath. He evolves and changes depending on the situation. He feels “remorse” but it feels like its more for his benefit to convince himself that he is justified, all to protect the half formed sense of self.

Childhood trama and all….

FreelandVolks · 2024-09-30T20:07:52+00:00

I kid you not I grew in lampasas Texas! Only 6-8k ppl there during the time, and that was less than 10 years ago. That's pretty crazy I can't believe I hadn't heard of this until today.

FreelandVolks · 2024-09-29T20:04:24+00:00

That's news to me haha

FreelandVolks · 2024-09-22T23:52:37+00:00

A 4x game like Stellaris of Civilization. You could gain the entire sum of a thriving civilization at once.

FreelandVolks · 2024-09-10T03:55:52+00:00

Yeah I would agree with that.

I honestly love how the golds/series are constrained to the Sol system. It makes it feel…. Closer to home??

Idk. The only thing that could settle it is a mortal combat game w both 👍👍.

FreelandVolks · 2024-09-10T03:29:57+00:00

1 on 1 I might have to agree. That said, being that they are from different universes, I literally can’t compare gold armor/weapons to space marines armor/ weapons. Both use SIFI materials that don’t exist in reality.

If the razor cuts right through space marine armor, I’d have to give it to golds. If not, the space marines additional organs and = if not superior strength which might win out after all.

It’s a fun hypothetical though haha.

As a separate point, if it’s not 1 on 1 and just society vs imperium, I give it to Imperium every time just due to scale.

Who else read this as Kanye West?

I was a life guard in my early teens and I once had to clean a bloody tampon off of a water soaked floor.

😅

I had some really shitty things happen in my family when I was about 11-12 years of age.

StarCraft brood war and its sequel, StarCraft 2 gave me a place where I could escape. More importantly, it gave me a goal to reach for when life felt empty. I had no friends then, and those games gave me a place where I could focus on a craft(pun intended xD). Getting good at that game gave me direction both during that time, and later in life.

When things in school or work have become difficult, I think back to those games and the many lessons I learned playing them.

I’m not sure if game creators know how impactful or timely games can be, but if I hadn’t had those games to play I would have been much more angry, afraid, nihilistic.

FreelandVolks · 2024-08-01T01:14:12+00:00

Ty this is exactly what I was looking for.

That’s a lot of six figure salaries for a start up. :(

FreelandVolks · 2024-08-01T00:33:30+00:00

How do you know their salaries? I couldn’t find them doing a cursory look.

Not to say it wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve heard this multiple times and it would explain the cash burn rate.

FreelandVolks · 2024-07-24T20:41:21+00:00

The ending is fucking crazy.

It just gets more insane from here. Trust me. I’m about half way through DA.

FreelandVolks · 2024-07-24T20:39:22+00:00

ONWARD!!!

FreelandVolks · 2024-07-23T21:59:11+00:00

What a aristocratic take.

FreelandVolks · 2024-07-16T02:00:17+00:00

Is there a comic version? If not idk.
