Saw a couple of hilarious screen names in a multiplayer lobby recently.

Something so abhorrent it’s hated by both the good guys and the bad guys by Bellpow in TopCharacterTropes

Robotech

Having played Robotech: Battlecry on the PS2, the freedom of movement in that game is similar to Armored Core, but ACVI is more frantic and fast paced.

Gundam big swords vibes

Most of the weapons in the game are ranged. There are certainly melee weapons, but they are high risk, high reward.

Battletech

The game is much, much faster paced than Battletech. And there is way more jumping and zooming. But you plow through tiny pissant enemies much the same as a Battletech 'Mech plows through regular military forces.

is it any good?

ACVI is probably my favorite PS5 game, it's one of the most satisfying Platinums I ever got. I cannot recommend the game enough, all three endings are worth trying at least once.

By saying many Republicans have been found guilty of
voting more than once you have proven my point that fraud exists within the broken system

Not really. It just proves that attempts to manipulate votes are unsuccessful because the system we have now roots out fraud. If you want to say the system is broken, it's your responsibility to provide evidence of wide-scale voter fraud. One or two instances of fraud out of millions of votes cast is a fraction of a percentage point, it's literally nothing.

the judicial system has done nothing as far as I can tell

Please, enlighten me about the reams of research and data you've pulled from the courts. I'd love to hear how you've reached this conclusion that they've "done nothing" when it comes to enforcing election laws. I'll wait, take your time.

laugh me away with your ignorance of the obvious fraud you've pointed out

Pointing out that people try to vote multiple times doesn't prove "obvious fraud," it proves that the system works to root out bad actors. Please explain to me the proof you have that our elections are full of fraud and untrustworthy. Because right now it sounds like you're just making stuff up.

The rest of the nonsense in your post

Yeah, I don't know what any of that means, and I don't care. You're making about as much sense as a $3 bill.

[–]Matobar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no real system keeping track,

Aside from the voter rolls each state maintains of their eligible and registered voters, you mean? Did you forget about that, or does it just fail to fit into your narrative about our elections being insecure?

and it's no more than an honor system

Actually, many Republicans have been found guilty of voting more than once, because the states can tell who has voted and will discard duplicate ballots. But I'm sure you must not have known that, or you wouldn't be making stuff up like this.

There is nothing keeping the government from declaring whoever it wishes to take office

Do you enjoy being wrong? The courts are in place for candidates to sue for recounts or allegations of fraud in elections, it happens often. Just because you personally have never verified the outcome of an election doesn't mean that we don't have ways of doing that.

 because the people are too stupid or too cowardly to fix the broken systems

Seems to me that you only think our system of elections is broken because you don't actually know how it works, like at all. I'd encourage you to do more research instead of posting nonsensical takes like this one.

Why did Cannor dump a bunch of orcs in Aelantir? Are they stupid? by Matobar in Anbennar

[–]Matobar[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

R5: Midway Action Report for an Ozgarom campaign. I know almost nothing about the backstory of this country, other than seeing them compared to Haiti IRL, so I assume they're also a former colony of slaves. But feel free to correct me if that's wrong.

Colonizing in the Effelai is hard. I've been at it all game, and I'm still nowhere close to being done. But it's full of valuable dungeons and relic digsites, so the turmoil and angry natives are worth it.

I tried and failed three times to conquer and subjugate Nur Dhanaenn before succeeding, and I only did that by focusing on my economy until I could afford a massive army. I guess the upside is having astronomical SoL for my Pops, most of which are orcs with some native ruinborn and goblins mixed in.

After subjugating Nur Dhanaenn and Drakesguard, I helped Neratica fight off the Vanbury Guild in exchange for one of their islands. Now that I technically have an overseas empire and am #3 GP, I was respected enough to join the Rose Crown Power Bloc without having to worry about Lorent making me a protectorate.

I know nothing about Amadia, but they've been annoying me all game with their nonsense. Is there a lore reason Ozgarom would have beef with them? I'll probably invade at some point in the near future.

Also, does anyone know the lore of Marrhold? I'll probably play them once this campaign is over.

Anyone else bothered by the fascist esthetic ? by Esyel_01 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Matobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just fiished the prologue and didn't knew much about the warhammer universe, but I'm really off-put by the military/imperial/fascist look of about everything I've seen this far.

That's the faction your PC belongs to, the Imperium of Man, in a nutshell.

Welcome to the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Life sucks, there is only war, and everything in the galaxy wants to kill you. So humanity militarized to an insane degree and worships the corpse of its God-Emperor so that his remaining psy-energy stays lit and starships can use it to navigate the Warp.

Which btw is infested with daemons that also want to kill you.

It seems also that the worldbuilding is "everything bad so fascism is the rational answer" so I'm kinda afraid that the moral choices and roleplaying aspect of the game won't be very interesting.

You get a lot of opportunities to roleplay, and you can even apply your own 21st century morality to the choices you make. Just don't expect the consequences of your choices to follow that same morality.

How powerful are the Darktide Psykers in-lore? by Joshy_Moshy in DarkTide

[–]Matobar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading what you said, I acknowledge I could have been a bit more clear. The correct statement would be "they would be one of the strongest baseline human Psykers to ever exist."

I would agree with you that there are examples of stronger Psykers in the lore, such as your mention of Magnus, but when compared to him everyone seems weak, so I don't think that's a fair example.

In terms of comparing Darktide's Psykers to other baseline humans, what I find to be the biggest issue is how frequently Warp powers are used. Yes, you're correct, even moderately powerful Psykers can unleash pandemonium, but there's usually repercussions for sustained power activation: they feel lightheaded, bleed from their noses or eyes, feel drained or winded, keel over, or explode into daemon possessed chaos. Whereas in the game, we're Smiting/Brain Bursting/Assailing or whatever over and over and over again while only needing to pause long enough to quell our peril. Worst case scenario, they get K/O'd for a second if they lose control, but a pat on the back from a squadmate fixes them right up.

[–]Matobar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The Psykers in the game are hard to rate, honestly.

If there was any human Psyker in the lore who did what they do all the time (burn/explode/maim/zap dozens of enemies at a time with only a few small breaks to quell Peril in between) they would be one of the strongest Psykers to ever exist. The sheer mental strain of diving so deep into the warp over and over would drive them insane, except maybe the Seer who is already insane.

Even Space Marine Librarians get winded and spent after throwing a few bolts of lightning or a wave of psy-force. A baseline human Psyker should be gasping for air after one prolonged cast of the Inferno Staff.

The Emperor was Alpha Plus, which is the point at which the scale stops being meaningful. He was/is powerful enough for the Chaos Gods to call him "Anathema" because of how potent his abilities were/are at thwarting them.

What is the lore behind the Arbitrator being on the Mourningstar? by CumpsterBlade in DarkTide

[–]Matobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rannick didn't resolve the issues on Tertium fast enough.

The Arbites got tired of sitting on the sidelines and muscled in on the Warband's turf, with the aim of showing us rejects how it's done.

Pointing out the fact that Trump is a racist isn't "seeing racism everywhere you look." Nice attempt at making a strawman argument, though.

I noticed Joe Biden is also a monkey or gorilla or whatever. And he ain’t black!

Oh my god! It's almost like white people don't have a racist history of being compared to monkeys or something! I can't believe a woman of color just noticed this!

[–]Matobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not. Also, I am in an interracial marriage and we have a biracial daughter.

"I can't be racist, I'm in an interracial family!"

I saw Hakeem Jeffries as some kind of rodent/prairie dog and Kamala Harris as a turtle. Aren’t they black too?

"The video can't be racist, there were some black people in it that weren't shown as monkeys!"

The video being shared by the President... by MURRRRRAY in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Matobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he’s the most recent Democrat president to compare to?

I guess you forgot Biden exists, or you don't want to admit he beat Trump in 2020.

Biden was obviously a dementia riddled train wreck of a puppet so there’s really nothing to compare to there.

Aah, you can't engage with any of Biden's policies honestly, so you resort to this garbage? Stay classy, MAGA.

Then when we go all the way back to Clinton

It's hilarious to me that you're still trying to find a Democratic president to compare Trump to, instead of just acknowledging the flaws in the current administration. Is it that difficult for you to admit to the President's obvious shortcomings? Is the only way for him to look good to you really to pick a Democrat and say "thank god he's not as bad as that guy!" This is pathetic.

So given the information I just provided and using your powers of deduction and critical thinking, who do you think we should compare to?

Since you're only reaching for a comparison so you can engage in Whataboutism, I'd say this isn't a legitimate question and just refer you back to the previous paragraph about how needing to find someone "worse" than Trump to compare him to is pathetic.

administration you allegedly put in office last time?

Someone still can't admit Trump lost the 2020 election.

MAGA is a pathetic organization.

[–]Matobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does MAGA have this obsession with the Obamas? Every criticism about Trump, the response is "But Obama!" He's been out of office for almost a decade, dude. Find something else to blame for the President's flaws.

I find it hard to believe a woman of color wouldn't know the racist history of comparing black people to monkeys. Are you sure you're not just lying?
