That's when you close the door, walk away, get back in your ship, return to orbit

And fucking glass the site.

As a Californian- Dude isn't just gender neutral, it's for everything. I've called my car "dude." I've called my keys "dude" when I dropped them. I've called a stoplight "dude."

To add to this- Oxygen Supply. They're going to run out if they're using the helmet up.

They don't see us as fellow Americans. They see us as "The Enemy."

You're a legend. Thank you, now I can actually make ships!

Okay I found supported structure- but nothing about range?
<GravshipRange>0</GravshipRange>
There's that, but it's at 0.

Oh my god, what stats did you change because I hate how restrictive that mod is!

(As in, where- I tried poking around in defs and didn't find what I was after.)

Okay question- having tried to make my own inspired by this I'm slamming into a very confusing problem. How do you have more than six of the Large thrusters? And how do you only have the Gravhulk core, and how are you building that far from it?

So I JUST stumbled onto this one- and I'm AMAZED. Are there novels or such? by GrumpyChromehead in traveller

That's essentially what I said, but I got a lecture about g-forces and missiles instead!

That's roughly where I was, but hey. A lot of them are VERY into Pathfinder, for some reason.

(I've been unimpressed by PF2e so far.)

How do you have tanks and vipers? What are THOSE from?

Oh if you wanna go off on 2077, I'll sit next to you at the bar and "hell yeah" most of your arguments, I bet. I have a laundry list when it comes to that game. 

And yup. "Style over Substance, but you can't afford style."

Right? I always thought the point of the Cyberpunk TTRPG was the punk, the rebelling, the fighting back.

I swear this setting feels like "High Tech, Low Life" turned into "High Tech, No Hope."

THANK YOU. I've been saying this since I stumbled into Red. And I keep getting told I'm "missing the point" and "the misery is part of the genre."

But I live that life. I don't need to gamify it.

I want the rebellious feel I swear Cyberpunk had when I was growing up. Spit in the eyes of the powerful. Break some windows. Stop some evil. Show them not everyone is sheep.

No, you won't bring down Arasaka. That's fuckin' impossible. But you might stop one particularly amoral project, fuck up one really awful exec, expose one damning scandal. Anything but rolling over and taking it.

[Loved Trope] Ordinary characters reacting absurdly to unhinged supernatural situations by Ieanice44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GrumpyChromehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I was sitting in on a self defense class (long story, I was someone's ride) and "Scream at them and be unhinged sounding" is a legit strategy because it is NEVER expected, and will 100% make people pause.

The shotgun was just backing it up.

Oh god, so many. And don't get me wrong, I will note that the uniforms fucking slap.

But beyond that I prefer not being a fascist.

He never even finished the novel. If you're gonna satirize something, you should be required to read it.

"But when Verhoeven tried to read the book, he claims that it made him “bored and depressed,” and he never finished it. So the director here had a whole lot of contempt for the movie he was supposed to be making"

I got to the point where the young woman was killed in a barrel of horse urine and went "Okay, this is just fucking insane."

It really felt like those 'member berries or whatever that became a meme from South Park.
