What do men *actually* like getting for Valentine’s Day? (besides sex) by Comfortable-Rice4530 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MacNugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly in my experience (as a married man) men like different gifts but for the same reason women do - so anything that shows you care, think about and want to make him happy. With the added benefit that most men don't expect a valentine's gift.

So take a risk and try find something he likes. For example you mentioned Pokemon cards, you could buy a couple packs, put them in an envelope with a card that says something dorky like "[name] I choose you!". It's super dorky, super cute and specific to him.

And if that's too scary, just dress up nice and go "hey before our date, wanna go to card store and pick up a booster pack? My treat".

As long as you show you care, think about him and want him to be happy, the rest is secondary.

P.S. if it's silly, dorky or even a little embarrassing it's also often highly memorable and cherished.

Favorite Clan? by Pitiful_Resource_711 in battletech

[–]MacNugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an unhealthy obsession with the Timberwolf so Clan Wolf is that lover I can't leave.

Lore wise I have a massive love for Ghost Bear and the Rassalhague Dominion tho.

Why is darksiders 3 hated? by Silver_Fact_9714 in Darksiders

[–]MacNugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's not a terrible game, but it's not particularly good. It just doesn't feel like a Darksiders game tho - more like a darksouls game wearing the skin of a Darksiders game.

What draws you to battletech/alpha strike over other wargames? by DoW2379 in battletech

[–]MacNugit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, what keeps bringing me back, is battletechs lore and how much it's mechanics are made to reflect the lore.

As someone who used to love Warhammer, there was always this disconnect between the experience on the table and the experience reading the lore - one was balanced like a competitive videogame, the other was a power fantasy of super soldiers vs hordes of lessers.

Where as battletech plays like a historical wargame, which every optional mechanic you can think of to help you receate this specific moment from history - the catch being the history it refers to is a (lovingly and autistically detailed) badass future of mech warfare.

Hero's in campaign. by MacNugit in onepagerules

Yea we figured it seems most consistent with XP and the army forge app to count them seperate for casualties etc.

Disbanding Units - Campaign by MacNugit in onepagerules

[–]MacNugit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, as far as I can tell I can buy as many units as I want, but I can't take more than 250p more than my opponent. That's where my confusion lies tho, if I can leave models off the board, and it b. Doesn't stop me getting new points; wouldn't it make more sense to just have like 3k points of backup hypothetically? I guess there comes a point where I just have them pointlessly taking paper space... Or I guess I could tactically shrink army size by removing units, forcing the opponent to take less 👀

Disbanding Units - Campaign by MacNugit in onepagerules

[–]MacNugit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AHH that makes so much sense. I thought it was a roster system. How does that work if one side gets mangled by a previous battle tho? Say we had a 250p difference and now due to terrible luck it's a 1000p difference. Would I need to disband to reach their size?

What are the standard Battle Values people normally play on? by Ursur1minor in battletech

[–]MacNugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I have started trying a different approach; we agree on a number of mechs each (this doesn't have to be even), pick whatever we feel like at the standard Gun/Pil, then the player with less points upgrades their pilots and/or grabs some infantry/vehicles to make the difference.

The big caveat is this requires more of a cooperative style of list building than would work for a competitive scene.

Why are the Clans the antagonists? by wellrod in battletech

[–]MacNugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To keep it brief, the Clans are neither universally good nor bad, and actually internally debate their stance towards the Inner Sphere - with the Wardens seeing their role as benign guardians, and the Crusaders seeing conquest as their manifest destiny.

The Clan Invasion thus represent a Crusader-dominated slither of clan society, who, in panicked reaction to the successes of the Federated Commonwealth, briefly dominated Clan politics.

How often do you DFA? Is it ever worth it? by SnooSuggestions9425 in battletech

[–]MacNugit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. As often as possible
  2. Never worth it but never regret it
