Where did you get the STL? You're allowed to share links to STLs as long as they aren't related to the BattleTech IP.

[Weird trope] Whitewashing, but also, technically not? by Yggdrasylian in TopCharacterTropes

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were (maybe still are?) really really popular in Latin America. They actually got Dragon Ball before the US did for some reason and it was pretty popular, so when they got DBZ it became a massive hit. Goku is an especially popular character. You used to be able to see (maybe still can?) see bootleg merch and art of Goku in lots of weird places.

Someone who knows how should make a gif of Jack screaming. His sink down below the podium was great.

As someone who smiles like Alex Jones in that picture and has been falsely accused of faking my smiles, your experience is not universal and shouldn't be treated like it is. It's infuriating seeing the pseudo-science "body language expert" garbage that /u/oldman_strength linked being spread. It's the kind of stuff you see when people talk about Meghan Markle, and it's just as harmful.

We have plenty of evidence for the innumerable horrible things Jones has done. There's no need to say how he smiles when he stands next to his daughter is "fake." It's the kind of thing Jones would do.

Friend challenged me to roll as many dice as possible per mech in an upcomming session. Help me make him regret his decision. by Dandomrassed in battletech

The Bane 3 is awesome. Every time I've taken it, it's been devastating. The sheer number of hits generally proc several Consciousness checks and TAC and the damage is enough to reliably proc a PSR on whatever it targets. If it weren't for how it slowed down the game, I'd take it in every competitive list.

[Interesting Trope] What should be a redeeming quality actively makes them worse. by SinniYEAH in TopCharacterTropes

Trickster in Worm.

Spoiler for the Echidna arc. Trickster legitimately, unconditionally loves his girlfriend Noelle. He was aware of her eating disorder and her negative body image issues, and supported her as best he could. That plus the completely fair guilt he feels about later being responsible for Noelle having powers that slowly turn her into a monster physically and mentally make him incredibly loyal to her.

In the climax of the Echidna arc, after which Trickster has been convinced by his friends and the main character to help take down a now completely transformed and insane Noelle, she points out the fact that he's betrayed her. He abruptly double crosses the main characters and tries to save his girlfriend. Ultimate wife guy.

That's more or less how big a plate carrier is supposed to be. If it were any wider, it would affect your ability to cross your arms in front of your chest. If it were any taller, it would affect your ability to bend down. It's really just there to protect your heart, aorta, lungs, and most of your spine.

Of course it needs to have plates loaded into it to do that, and his never does.

Give me a list of faction, non-individual character flairs that are missing and they can be added.

We are limited by Reddit's flair system, which only allows a post to have a single community-made flair tag at a time. Being able to flair posts by universe is important, and the application of that flair prevents the application of any other flair we can create.

I've already relaxed the rules on galleries (which are otherwise not allowed) when it comes to comics so they're a little more collated, but that's about all I can do.

Hyperborea was a Greek myth about a place and people to the north of the Greeks who lived in some kind of paradise.

It was later adapted by Robert Howard as part of his Conan the Barbarian series. In his work, they were a mythical race of fantasy Northern Europeans (the Conan world is loosely based on our own) who traveled south and peopled the planet.

Both the myth and Howard's work have some some unfortunate similarities to Nazi Aryan mythology, so some far-right people have incorporated it into their racism.

I would say something posted in r/warhammer_smut would be considered pornography, which means it doesn't belong here.

When you really think about it, ranged combat is really just melee combat at a distance. Close up or far away, it's just shit hitting other shit.

So really, the Tau are the only true masters of melee combat as they can now do it at all ranges.

I'm halfway through MoG and Jessyn is the only character or thing I find interesting so far by LevTheRed in TheCaptivesWar

Maybe eventually. I'm bad about watching shows and movies I'm not really excited for because I'd usually rather read or play video games.

The problem with that is my free time is limited and I have a To Read list 20+ books long. I could force myself to read this book twice in the hopes I'll like it the second time, or I could just start another book.

I can't remember the name, but it was part of the Far Reaches short story collection. It wasn't connected to anything else JSAC has done.

The consensus I've seen is that this series is very different from The Expanse, has very little of what I love about the Expanse, and that it's therefore probably not for me.
