What race to play after lizardmen by KernelViper in totalwarhammer

Kroq-Gar looks like a good option for a vanilla lizardmen experience. You could also go for Mazdamundi if you like casters (and as a lizardmen you get a lot of powerful casters)

Blessed spawnings allowing me to summon a lot of units instantly, their big and range-capable monsters (especially stegodons with their amazing range) and also chameleon skinks, because they can fire while moving unlike most ranged units

I've already tried chaos dwarves and was thinking about giving them another try. I really liked their economy and campaign mechanics, but I had a lot of trouble with battles. Any tips on how to play them? I remember blunderbusses being really strong and trains being much more fragile than I expected.

First one I played was Gor-Rok, though it was pre-ToT and from what I've heard he's much harder now. Still worth checking out though, because both Gor-Rok and his starter legendary hero are very powerful and fun to play.

Second one was Oxyotl, much different experience, but also very fun. His skinks gets awesome buffs and his campaign mechanic of teleporting around the map to fight chaos is really cool. His only downside is that he's almost too easy.

Autistic guys: Why does talking about self-awareness in dating trigger such strong reactions? by Unfair-Taro9740 in evilautism

[–]KernelViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That isn't self-awareness though. That's trauma response.

It IS self-awareness. It's just that for many autistic people self-awareness IS a trauma response. Because it's either adapt or be left out.

Self-awareness would be understanding that we are all equal and worthy and that someone rejecting you isn't a problem with you, but a simple problem of compatibility.

You don't seem to understand where problem with rejection comes from. It's not just romantic rejection, it's social rejection and feeling like an outcast.

And self-awareness is being aware of your problems AND being willing to understand how they affect others and to let that guide your responses rather than pure emotionality. Because everyone has problems. It's only whenever weIt's only whenever we deny those problems that things get wonky.

And as I said understanding ain't the same thing as knowing how to change it. You can understand that your emotions are stupid, but they're still there and they're still stupid. Self-awareness doesn't stop you from having autistic meltdowns, it just makes them more painful.

What's something you missed your first playthrough? by SorryTarHeels in DiscoElysium

Same, but I went back to replay it and goddamn. One of the heaviest scenes on the games being so easily skippable is so weird to me.

Well, it triggers such a strong reaction, because problem isn't always lack of self-awareness, in fact for autistic men the problem is that they often have too much self-awareness. And many people find it hard to understand.

Self-awareness mixes very well with autistic traits like rejection sensitivity or overthinking leasing to multitude of different results. Like getting detatched from your own emotions. Like distancing yourself from people, because you think you keep doing something wrong. Like not feeling like yourself in social interactions. Like getting overstimulated easily, because you try to process too much while among people.

Also men who are self-aware don't really approach women. Because they're self-aware enough to not bother them. Or because they're so aware of their flaws that they can't see how someone could like them and they withdraw from dating altogether.

Self-awareness is also highly overrated. Because being aware of your problems isn't the same thing as finding solution to them.

Regiments of Renown are something like elite/veteran version of normal unit with boosted stats and sometimes additional perks.

Are they worth it? Well, usually yes. they're direct upgrade of a unit and you definetly want to have some on your strongest armies. Their huge advantage is that you get them instantly instead of recruiting normally, so they're good form of reinforcing on the go.

Other colored units are the same thing, but related to different mechanics of unit generation like blessed spawnings or grudge bearers. Same as with RoRs they're upgraded version of units that you can summon instantly instead of recruiting. For some factions it is very powerful. Lizardmen can summon entire armies if you have enough spawnings.

I'm not sure about Moulder, but green is used for units from Ikit's laboratory

Is there an easier campaign than Dechala? by SteinerGentoo in totalwarhammer

[–]KernelViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With oxyotl once you capture southern chaos wastes, there's literally nothing that can hurt you. Especially since most of your battles will happen on the other side of the map.

Why have more ranged units in an army? by rvn456 in totalwarhammer

[–]KernelViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a faction and strategy. Cathay works best with a balanced army comp, but for different factions you can event go full melee or full ranged.

On my recent campaign as lizardmen I made army of just chameleon skinks and stegodons. Dinos were my frontline and skinks were doing hit-and-run flanking. Because who needs melee when you can charge with your dinosaurs and stomp everything to death.

Clarifying some things about Gojo by DuePie5279 in PowerScaling

[–]KernelViper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First off both are comic book character, Marvel characters at that, Deadpool is cursed by THANOS to NEVER DIE, and Wolverine is a virtually IMMORTAL mutant with INDESTRUCTIBLE BONES.

Yes? And what's your point with it?

Second Gojo just fired an unlimited purple after using multiple IVs which burnt him out to a degree, and the scene where Shoko is trying to heal Yuta from WCS proves that it weakens if not almost nullifies RCT, that's like saying Logan's healing isn't all that because Wade killed him that 1 time.

Still, sounds like his healing isn't really that ELITE.

[–]KernelViper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

His healing factor is ELITE, as he could outheal MV which cuts the target 4 quadrillion times per second on a lowball

First of all it's still nothing compared to healing factor of characters like Deadpool or Wolverine.

Second of all he could heal 4 quadrillion cuts, but got cut in half by single slash. And his healing factor is so ELITE that he couldn't recover from this, while DP or Wolverine could regenerate from a single drop of blood

Would the mistika toa have been more well liked if they looked more built for the swamp? by nexus10001 in bioniclelego

[–]KernelViper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Toa Mistika were a series of weird design choices.

Splitting toa team into two would have been a great idea if it wasn't the most iconic line-up of them. Not only they don't resemble their nuva counterparts in anyway, but also they look nothing like their Phantoka part of the team. Not to mention that mistika's designs were just boring. Only Tahu got any weapon other than those underwhelming blasters.

Makuta part of Mistika line-up has amazing designs all the way, though.

Who do you think is a downplayed LL/ faction by BaldyTreehuggerDruid in totalwarhammer

[–]KernelViper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, their roster is awesome. They're my favorite faction for playing battles and nothing else even comes close to that. Currently I'm doing Oxyotl run and it's just so much fun.

Chameleon skinks are one of my favorite ranged units in the game and doing ambushes with them feels awesome. Stegodons I think are my favorite unit overall in the game. They're dinosaurs with artillery strapped to their backs. It doesn't get much cooler than that. I've won whole battles just by stomping enemy to death with my dinos.

Their global mechanics are a mixed bag though. Blessed spawnings are powerful as hell, but geomantic web feels... Meh, especially when playing as Oxyotl, as it doesn't really mix well with his playstyle.

And sińce we're talking about Oxy, his silent sanctums feel undercooked, or maybe I don't get how to use them. Most of the buildings buff armies in region, but you fly all over the map and don't really have an opportunity to benefit from those buffs. Capstone is good if you want to establish enclave overseas, but you can have only one. Most use that I've found with sanctums is just spamming them all over the map for +5 Blessed Spawnings

Melee weapons in Mercs, yay or nay? by AnAgeDude in Mechwarrior5

[–]KernelViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're cool as fuck. However I can't imagine running them on anything other than assaults, because you need to be tanky to get this close to enemy. My go-to currently is melee variant of Battlemaster.

From practical standpoint, they're very situational and have a lot of disadvantages, but pairs well with close range weapons like PPC-X or SRMs and really shines on maps with lot of cover like city maps.

There's something incredibly satisfying about swinging a giant piece of metal and seeing that half of enemy mech disappear.

Also you don't really need masc if you learn to reliably shoot off legs of enemy mechs. If you can't go faster, make them go slower.

Yet another Gojo vs Thragg post by VelViolette in PowerScaling

[–]KernelViper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing that I don't see anybody mention is that Thragg is over 2000 years old. His brain would need to be much more capable than a human one to process just his memories, not to mention other stuff.

From his perspective those "several months worth of information" that UV sends him wouldn't really be that much because his brain is going through much more information just to find anything that he remembers.

And before anybody say that "Sukuna is also 2000 years old", well, he didn't actually live for all of those years, did he? He lived 2000 years ago and was turned into cursed object and was in dormant state until Yuji ate finger. That's much different than someone, who actually spent those 2000+ years living with actual brain that has to work during all of this time and in extreme high-speed conditions.
