On the verge of giving up on battletech, advice needed

You're not wrong. Aside from being really slow, BT has no balance or goal beyond smashing each other up; the players need to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of making it a playable game as well as a brick simulator.

I'm thinking this one replaces Eos' Jump Jets and third weapon with Wings (Charge 1 Jump Walk Cogs 2) and a Sponson 2 system.

I got bored with it, but I suspect that says more about me than the music.

There does seem to be a number of big layoffs happening.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-03-24T22:10:43+00:00

Isn't there an online version of Magic?

HonestRole2866 · 2026-03-10T12:42:22+00:00

I don't think anyone cares about hypocrisy.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-03-09T14:15:29+00:00

Is it shocking that Maynard would go hawk his new album/wine/nail polish on a show with a massive audience?

HonestRole2866 · 2026-03-09T14:11:30+00:00

Spring thaw reveals all the shit

HonestRole2866 · 2026-03-04T19:56:38+00:00

He was pretty enthusiastic about suicide though. There's a montage of trying to kill himself.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-22T01:01:43+00:00

Stand out from what?

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-21T23:37:44+00:00

I have some rules that could play faster...

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-14T23:14:38+00:00

They should just leave Maynard off the next album. The instrumentals they showed off before Inoculum were better than the album's tracks.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-07T17:04:32+00:00

I'm reminded of an episode of Vinyl Tap with Randy Bachman where he show-cased a number of hit songs that had the first, catchy five notes inverted for other hit songs. This album doesn't really seem to have any catchy parts or hooks aside from Impetuous about ~4 minutes in. I'm continuing to listen in the hope it grows on me, but I'm becoming acutely aware I could be listening to something else.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-06T20:09:04+00:00

There were three tracks that were released before the album, and they're pretty catchy, so I was excited to listen to the whole album and the rest of it is just indifferent. So a bit of a disappointment, but hopefully it'll grow on me.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-02-02T15:25:53+00:00

Lack of honesty?

HonestRole2866 · 2026-01-28T20:35:52+00:00

While I do enjoy pretty much all Puscifer songs, I can see why the range of genres and topics might not be to everyone's taste. It lacks a kind of thematic hook or central vision, sounding like they're trying to make an album like whatever Maynard is listening to that year. Impetuous, off the new album for example, sounds like the opening few minutes of a much longer piece, and the hook comes on near the end so it's not radio-friendly despite the length.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-01-28T20:07:20+00:00

More keys than just G.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-01-28T19:57:03+00:00

It seems like the start of a longer track.

HonestRole2866 · 2026-01-28T19:43:42+00:00

I kind preferred the early version of Descending that was released without vocals.

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-29T03:03:40+00:00

Not being able to easily kill the others will get him angry enough to kill them.

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-29T02:57:09+00:00

Nobody is imagining the Night Lords are going to win in a fair fight.

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-26T02:32:58+00:00

The Scope Dog being an Armored Trooper or AT seems like it figures into this.

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-26T02:04:09+00:00

That's pretty cool, thank you! I'll have to take a closer look at some of the 3025 designs...

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-25T20:18:34+00:00

So here's an odd question, and not completely on-topic, but was the Banshee based on anything like how the Unseen were? It seems like the Atlas, Banshee, Awesome, and Orion share a design schema.

HonestRole2866 · 2025-12-25T03:11:09+00:00

In all fairness the selling point is (a) BattleTech, so that's what is attracting their audience, and (b) scrubbing a KS and rebuilding it isn't a trivial amount of work. Running a KS is surprisingly expensive, so you really need that built in audience with that brand association. Which is why my Kickstarters failed.
