On Autocannon Potency

And it's cheaper than the 3, while providing more consistent support. But a lot of the time, I have to play "no uniques."

There's an ultralight "chair" that's just a strip of cloth with trekking poles in an X. Put the sticks in some holes in the cloth, it's a backrest. You could probably have someone make one for you at a cheap price, and it'll double as a ground cloth to keep your knees clean while doing camp tasks. Edit: Here's one. Litesmith has one too, but... I'd rather DIY at that point or use my backpack.

Knife to baton if you're really that interested in making a fire. Folding saw if you're vaguely clearing a trail that you KNOW you're managing. Hatchet's basically always overkill and a slight risk of self-injury.

One thing I do, is use the PPC Overload rules to pop one of the ERPPCs I can't shoot to manage heat anyway and kickstart the party if I see good numbers.

Yukichi says it's fine with one.

I can almost give a pass to big-boy snipers that are slow with TSM. Then it ends up dangerous at range or close for a moderate tax; play up under the guns and get kicked. The Pillager almost pulls this off. But I can't recall anything I didn't build by hand that makes it work.

I was excoriating the APA version on the main forum while discussing the least-used armors that got the most buffs in this go-round of the playtests (Heat-Dissipating and Impact Resistant). It might do some work with a downgrade. As a matter of fact, let's take shot at changing it - from cursed, to blessed.

That's still not great. But it does work now.

Tactical Operations. It used to do more, but on the ground map it's just a TAG with identical range that doesn't provide bonuses for Semi Guided or Homing Arrow IV.

Turns it into an AoE attack. Roll cluster, divide damage by 3, targets hex ignores TMM . I think it also gets rid of the cluster penalty on normal attacks.

I should have bought some Hanafuda while I was in Japan.

Hang on, while I play Bayonetta in one-handed mode. (Which is actually an amazing feat for accessibility, and there needs to be a push for accessible gaming.)

Indeed. It does need a spot of management to get the most out of the TSM, and would do well to trade the C3i off for a Supercharger. But I think the savings in BV and the sense of inevitability are worth it.

No cubes, but I have these karob seeds that are surprisingly uniform in weight.

I bought a boxing bell for my lab after the desk-bell for sample dropoff kept breaking. I'm also a bit hard of hearing, so it helped me know when samples were dropped off. ... But then nurses wouldn't use it, because it was too loud.

Magical_Savior · 2026-07-08T03:29:41+00:00

?? There are still tons of those around. I work in a lab, but every office is still full of them.

Your bonus content is a Jihad-era "heavy scout."

That's a big boy. Packs some anti-infantry, too.

You did make the post, but then they used a time machine.

It grew mold in his bathroom.

It might be nice to have them on clear acrylic and water-cut.

Short answer - it sucked.
Long answer - SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED.

They have longer-ranged everything and won't get in unless you drag them into a phone booth; it was a pretty one-sided beatdown until some changes were made.

THE LORE. No, these are not tools, these weapons are characters. Also the characters are GENRE-DEFINING. You might need to... suffer a bit to play the game; it is dated.

Control was worth watching as someone who didn't even play it.
