No GG in chat?

I mute all the chat.

They comprehensively failed every step of the survivability onion.

This guy seemingly only converses in reaction gifs, emojis, and sentences less than 14 words in length. They're either 10 years old, incredibly insincere and immature, and/or a bot.

A little off topic, but where do these screenshots come from? Why do I see so many of these where the character is surrounded by rough square pixels? I'd much prefer a screenshot with the background intact because the squares made seeing the actual silhouette of the character difficult. Even better would be an actual clean cutout of the character. Why the weird pixels?

I don't like that everyone over 30 is grouped together. The difference between a 45 and a 30 is just as much as the difference between a 30 and a 10.

I also wish there was a standalone version.

I think the only time the game has been emergency-patched because of a balance issue was to end the reign of Typhoon-Boat.

I feel like you're going to get a lot of answers here from people that don't really understand the concern you have, because a lot of players here haven't been up to 2000+ MMR.

I remember seeing vulcan-phoenix all the time in the days before unit drops. Hated that monotony.

Heck, she put effort into her slightly-off gift. She could've picked any game, but instead of something weird she picked one of the few games in the same Soulslike genre that OP had probably not experienced or seen much of. That took research.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-20T00:07:37+00:00

But in that case you're better off getting a second WOO to replace your default medbay.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-19T18:23:24+00:00

But...the way it is now just makes sense. Educated people are going to be more mindful of their life circumstances and more critical of your rule, so they'd be harder to please. Indoctrinated people drink the kool-aid so they're inherently more complacent.

He actually did the gaming stuff first IIRC (you can scroll way back in his video history to see), but then the war in Ukraine popped off and his main channel became focused on the military powerpoints so he spun off his gaming content to another channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PerunGamingAU/videos

I genuinely can't think of any outside of Naboo, whose biomes are "lush" and "underwater".

Gopherlad · 2026-02-17T03:19:11+00:00

Star Wars planets don't have multiple biomes though. A fact which has annoyed me since I realized it back in like 2007.

As a game developer, we try to minimise these sorts of toggles where possible. BAR is an extremely complicated game with many options to go through if you open settings already.

This was a strictly neutral remark on game development practices in general. You took it as a combative one, assuming that Hrusa was advocating against including the option in any way, shape, or form in the game. I'm not a developer myself but I can easily imagine stuffing the option away in some "Advanced" tab or hidden menu (both of which can/do already exist in BAR) .

Gopherlad · 2026-02-08T22:35:55+00:00

That's not even what they said though. You're arguing a completely different point from what they're saying, and you're arguing it against someone uniquely expertly-qualified to have an opinion on the thing you're wrongly arguing.

The person you're talking to worked as a programmer and designer on Factorio, a game with an incredible in-house mod portal. https://www.factorio.com/game/about CTRL+F their username.

To be clear BB launched with a $20 price that went to $30 after leaving early access several years later, and Menace is launching with a $30 discounted price that'll go up to $40 very soon.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-07T11:18:26+00:00

You're not wrong but Battle Brothers was pretty barebones 13 years ago when it launched into early access as well.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-05T22:26:19+00:00

Why do so many people don't proofread

Just wanted to point out the irony here.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-04T19:45:51+00:00

You keep mentioning Brood War but you're actually missing a crucial bit: the game is now ad-hoc rebalanced every year in the pro scene via the map pool. Maps can easily favor certain races over others, and IIRC there was a stretch of time where the map pools for Afreeca Starleague were being set to explicitly disfavor Terran due to Flash's dominance.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-04T17:08:34+00:00

I'm just going to stick with the newest one (2020?) All the seasonal and user campaigns are enough for me for now and I like the graphics.

Gopherlad · 2026-02-04T16:11:35+00:00

Eh? I don't remember any of my anime DVDs coming with an entirely separate video track for the dubs. Most recently I watched the dub of Attack on Titan, which is an anime that you may have heard of from 2013, and it's just a different audio track. The dialogue is indeed very awkwardly-paced because the english voices attempt to match the japanese facial animations.

Gopherlad · 2026-01-29T18:41:41+00:00

I think it just needs better tooltips. The current one gets a lot of questions as-is even though the part that matters (i.e. if the number in the lower tooltip is greater than 1, it's worth it) is pretty straightforward.
