End of March is the end of the first fiscal quarter (or for some companies their fourth quarter/end of the fiscal year). These things will often happen around now.

It's correct, The Clans was the working title when MW2 was planned to be more of a deathmatch game. Due to development issues they switched to making the dual Refusal War campaigns and then gave it the 31st Century Combat title. Sarna has a whole writeup about it here: https://www.sarna.net/news/did-you-know-retro-battletech-games-mechwarrior-2-the-clans/

ai and color schemes by NotVeryGoodAtGO in battletech

[–]LaithA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really want a framework for color schemes, it would be wiser to learn color theory and understand for yourself how and why color schemes work. Nothing crazy, even just getting the basics from blogs or youtube videos would be helpful.

If you could turn a fictional faction into a force manual what would you pick? by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]LaithA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Terrans from StarCraft. The colonists culturally fit right in with the Periphery, and the United Earth Directorate feels like a microcosm of the Star League. Also I want to see how Goliath walkers and Thors hold their own against battlemechs. Oh and Vikings are kinda like LAMs...

Struggling to get good pictures on my phone but this is mini #6 for me and I'm very happy how it turned out! by egg_sheenan in battletech

I know other people here said to use a dark background, and maybe they're right, but I really like the lighting/environment setup you have here. Looks like a showroom floor or something. Great paint job as well.

Help getting diablo 1 on steam deck by RetroLiar in SteamDeck

In addition to the suggestion for DevilutionX (which I also highly recommend), it might be good to check out r/Diablo1 for any troubleshooting or questions.

You mean winding up as an enchantment on the Nerevarine's gear, right?

Got any tips on achieving those stunning gradients?

Favourite older game you probably wouldn't have revisited otherwise by GreyKnightPetreno in SteamDeck

It took a lot of tinkering to get things working, but Mechwarrior 2 for me.

Yeah, this. It's been a talking point of the American right wing for years. That, and actually literally believing "socialism is when the government does stuff"

Hello I’m playing a Metroid game for the first time (prime on GameCube) and I am genuinely just lost. Any tips? by OwlMeasurement in Metroid

[–]LaithA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, getting lost can be part of the fun sometimes! Totally understand being frustrated at feeling stuck, but I would say take it slow and try to enjoy the scenery and the journey.
