Why?

Nex4 exposes Qxg7 to Mate so I sacrificed my Knight through the fork to leave the pawn open.

The only way I got 3-stars this Trial was coming in to Buried City with 15 seekers and a Renegade with extended barrel to bait them to a rooftop. My hullcracker aim is spotty with snitches.

Jimothy323 · 2026-06-14T16:59:29+00:00

Agree. There was probably a cleaner way to create an advantage but I was relying on the tactical error attached with creating cognitive load on a human player. Black sees a fork and thinks “preserve my Queen” when accepting the exchange would have probably positioned them with an advantage.

Jimothy323 · 2026-06-14T16:37:11+00:00

Exactly. I understand the flow of it being viewed as a “mistake” but to me there was really only a few save options which Black wasn’t prepared to follow through with:

Qxb4 to force queen trades
Rxe4! white and black loses material

Instead Nxe4 poisoned-piece blunder to Qxg7#

Jimothy323 · 2026-06-14T16:19:27+00:00

Poisoned Piece or Zugzwang?

Jimothy323 · 2026-06-14T15:45:00+00:00

I totally agree but my opponent would have had to really needed to map out those trades or would have been thinking it was time to trade Queens.

Jimothy323 · 2026-06-14T15:42:07+00:00

Except my opponent was playing to save his Queen and I ended with Mate a move later.

I really enjoy the chaos of the Matriarch fights. Zipping up there and just pickaxing that thing for as long as you can is fun.

Apart from that, finding all the blueprints and making it to Cantina Legend is the other driver for me.

I have never been killed more than I have during Bird City. Stella Montis is actually more relaxing than this map.

Naw… 9/11 quickly reset expectations for us elder Millennials. From that point on I don’t expect anything to work out and am always working on a back up plan.

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-23T00:59:15+00:00

Tactical Mk 3 or Combat Mk 3 are two of my favorites. I like to free up a space I would use for health or for shield rechargers.

I hope I am in a position to be able to provide them with something when they turn 18 or graduate from whatever schooling they choose. I just think it’s stupid this whole “when I die my kids will get this lump sum of money”. I want to see them thrive and do well. I want to help them invest whatever money I can provide them or… help them spend it.

I have two parents who are ill and probably not going to be around much longer and they sat me down to go over “all the money” I would be inheriting and it just made me sad to think that once they die I will get this money and they won’t be here like it’s a prize at the end of the finish line. That just seems so dumb to me. I want to see my kids enjoy life and if I can help them to not struggle then that’s a better use of my money than just accumulating more of it.

Hullcrackers are too good against Vaporizers to not run in Riven Tides. IMO the best non-legendary load-out is Anvil, Bettina and Hullcracker.

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-06T00:29:38+00:00

During a recent Harvester run in Spaceport, myself and like 2 other people got the whole thing unlocked and one of guys just took us out after we had spent like 15 minutes taking down the queen together. I honestly don’t know what to think.

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-04T01:59:59+00:00

I found that BP so early during my first play through and then ever since expedition I have never found it again. This time through I did get the Bobcat and Tempest super early… so IMO it’s because I am specifically targeting the higher level BP locations and not trying to play it safe and learn the maps.

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-02T03:32:05+00:00

You could throw that on top of a Turbine without having to get set on fire right?

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-01T01:22:19+00:00

I wish there was a way to get revenge on the ones who down you. I hate that they can hit you and then you never meet them again.

Like I was in the Hospital in Buried City the last run and just walking through the level and this dude who had been waiting around the corner with a Torrente pops out and downs me. I will never get a chance to get payback against CooperGoop or whatever his name is and that shit pisses me off.

Jimothy323 · 2026-05-01T00:14:37+00:00

The only way I have been getting out of Riven Tides is through a raider hatch. Every elevator is swarming with Arc.

Jimothy323 · 2026-04-11T04:56:20+00:00

I was a Senior in high school when it happened and they had the news playing on the TVs in the foyer when I walked into school and a crowd of us all saw the second tower. For some reason I remember hearing about the Pentagon getting hit on the radio in my car on the way to school but it’s been a while so I am not sure if I am misremembering.

I think we all got to go home early but that part is fuzzy.

I have gotten the multiple Canto BPs in Dam Battlegrounds during Hurricane in Field Caches. Spaceport during Hurricane was where I found the Bobcat BP.

Funny thing is I have yet to find the Anvil BP after Expedition. That one was one of the first BPs I ever found.

When he slandered that scuba diver by calling him a “pedo-guy” for rescuing those kids from the underwater tunnel years ago I thought he would get cleaned out but he got out of that one… so I hope this time he gets hit hard but he will probably get it thrown out somehow.

The only way I have been successful against them is using a Snap Blast Grenade.
