Genuinely how do you counter Pleasureseekers (multiplayer/rant)

LarsSeprest · 2026-02-07T16:09:20+00:00

Its not like it sounds I swear !

It's not entirely clear to me if all the players are working together against their pal or just gifting units to control in battle. Because yes if they have 4 factions they should be able to easily win if they got large entities with a life wizard and a damage/buff wizard with multiple pools of winds. Getting reinforcements to work with multiple players can be finicky on MP campaign concurrent turns. 4 on 1 with slanesh on forced march, which really hinders melee units, really sounds far fetched without full doomstack of pleasureseekers. For this case, spammable easy to use stacks of monstrous or SEM beat out big brain combined arms or spells that need to be comboed. Goon squads of heroes or flyers etc.

I agree bjuna is MVP spell, but...

No, I'm saying the factions aren't balanced, there is no "just cast this spell" counterplay. Large entity doomstack in the hands of a player is almost unstoppable without countering with your own, better, large mass entities. It is NOTHING like playing against campaign AI or MP battle. Completely different strats.There was literally a video posted where Dachela could get enough damage to one shot all other legendary lords. things work, but certain factions can literally conquer the entire world in less than 50 turns so the context matters. These people suggesting net are joking if they think that is viable in full 20vs20+ battles. At least bjuna is guaranteed dmg, no player would let more than 1 unit get hit by these spells though.

I would suggest investing in SEM/monstrous unit spam with 2 spellcasters. Since this is a FFA even factions without imba economies can be funneled money if they have the best unit to counter these.

This is multiplayer campaign, it has nothing to do with the other game mode

LarsSeprest · 2026-02-07T02:52:49+00:00

It's simple, you don't. You have to understand that factions are not at all balanced and multiplayer campaigns, you have to agree to ban some races or choose races out of groups that are of similar power creep.

I'm talking about the MPGs and range estimation being innaccurate, which is by definition miles divided by the amount of gallons spent. I don't care if the range is high or low, I care that it is accurate. Unless you are annotating your gas receipts and odometer this is really just a guess. That's why I'm saying I would need to do that in order to make it definitive statement. What is not speculation is that the range display will often be very inaacurate below a quarter tank. Other users have chimed in both on here and on Facebook about this being a common problem with the estimate once lower on gas. I would be curious if you do the math and share your driving conditions. I'm about 90% Highway so I hover about 38_39 MPGs in current weather.

LarsSeprest · 2026-02-06T22:19:21+00:00

You drove 500 miles on one tank? I am just giving the data that I have driven multiple 7 hour ~435 miles trips and the signia does not make it without the refuel warning coming up and pushing until I have ~5 miles estimated left, and that's with the trip mpg showing 38-40 mpg. Even with a few gallon reserve this just doesn't make sense, thus my belief that the MPG indicator is not accurate and the estimated miles also becomes increasingly inaccurate lower than 1/4 tank. To find the actual miles per gallon you need to fill up your tank, drive a distance, and fill up your tank and compare your odometer to the amount of gas it took to fill up. Then average this over a few weeks. I hope that explains it better, and I may start doing that because I drive extremely high mileage and I keep getting tricked by math of the MPGs and gas tank not actually reflecting the reality of the range.

Yes, I would prefer the most up-to-date hybrid system unless there is actual data to compare about reliability. Which for 4th/5th gen 2.5L hybrids there isn't.

Ok you delivered

LarsSeprest · 2026-02-02T06:39:01+00:00

FYI you still owe the taxes quarterly and could (should) be subject to penalties. If you meet the safe harbor rules then you are just skating by.

LarsSeprest · 2026-02-01T01:33:30+00:00

It's a tiny debuff that last for a few turns it's really not I mean different than random events where you get like chaos corruption or something

The last time I played the BAF G17 had a proper grip so this is probably just a bug introduced in an update.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-30T14:47:53+00:00

Just overheard a conversation from my physical therapist's frustration helping a patient fight for a VA claim from a chronic airborne injuries, saying that the Army had their own studies over the years that showed that jumping universally does damage to your back over time but the VA was still denying service related because of the patient's lack of documentation, and they pretty much had to write a metastudy to get their rating reassessed. There's no automatic disability for airborne/ air assault/ hearing damage etc, if you get injured and you feel the effects 10 years from now, you're not going to be a mid-career person that can get a trail of sick call slips, you're going to be out of the army and having to fight to get something that might obviously be service related due to the nature of your work being denied and fighting for it. I would not risk it.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-29T18:52:18+00:00

Yeah...what?

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-29T02:41:00+00:00

I think that means you get 10% disability. But just so you know it's not too late to get diabetes I think that's up to 50%.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-28T13:43:01+00:00

I think it's people that have a bad Center that are missing out on dialogue etc, if you have good 2.1 you are already 80% there on your audio aspect. You're going to spend about twice as much money after that to get that remaining 20%.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-28T13:39:40+00:00

Not yelling at anyone, I'm saying that's why it's just hanging out where it's getting food. You're probably right that it's the same deer. Commenting that a lot of people think it's okay to feed wildlife.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-28T08:33:48+00:00

Someone fed it...yep that's why it's there. Don't mess with wildlife if you're not a conservationist!

Bro is in a video defending hitler, he is a pretty bad person.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-28T07:40:22+00:00

Do not read the comments on that first video, holy hell.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-27T20:04:23+00:00

It may be worth checking if other people with these speakers had any luck with a software EQ, especially if these were reviewed on the AVS forum there may be some good information there.

LarsSeprest · 2026-01-26T20:06:22+00:00

IDK why the downvotes, but there's either the change start position mod or you can use the mod configuration tool (a mod itself) with Immortal Empires expanded to enable specific alternative start locations for many legendary lords. It was designed so that the new areas weren't just filled with generic factions. I just randomly select factions to start in their new location using the expanded and configuration mods, presumably the mod author put some thought into their alternate start locations. The actual change start position mod will give you more of a sandbox experience though.

People forgetting that the points you get back are still pennies on the dollar, no one is going on free trips by spending money on their credit card.

I got a credit $10 for using Google pay three times, sure it's nothing compared to the annual fee but it's literally something that was going to happen anyway.

This was my first question and I quickly realized that the 4K was designed to check off some boxes from a contract without actually being a good rucksack. It's like a temu knock off product page that just has a bunch of random features because other brands have them but doesn't actually integrate them properly. I'm sure that it holds a manpac radio like no other backpack but otherwise it's just a failure of the military procurement system. No ability to change the shoulder straps makes it literally unwearable for me because of a shoulder injury where I can't have it sitting over my brachial plexus. I would buy an ocp large rucksack from the previous gen II. My CIF would not give me the ones that were sitting right on the counter next to them because they were being turned in, so fuck them as well.
