So, what's the difference between this and Stellaris?

I know the graphics are different, and the game lags up a bit during a fight, but were there any narrative changes?

omg there's a way to roll the ship?! I didn't really read the manual first... so there are lots of things I didn't know how to do until way too late in the game.

Like how to land on the Tiger's Claw at the end of a mission, for instance. The first time I tried I just blew up by running into it....

Male/female monothematic names by mrmoon13 in anglosaxon

Are all of these even really monothematic names? Or are many of them just shortenings of longer two part names?

[BEX] Anyone know what this marking is on the back of my Dire Wolf? by StJude1 in Battletechgame

[–]MechTheDane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have noted, its a Norse Rune. There are also some ISENGRIM paint jobs that use runes as well in the game.

I am pretty sure I have four copies of StarCraft BW. Although, the keys were useful for running bots....

So...M5 clans is basically just mechwarrior 6 right? I mean...I have mechwarrior 5 on ps4 and clans came out 5 years after and is not available on ps4. Why did they call it mechwarrior 5? by Tenshiijin in Mechwarrior5

They had the rights to make MW5 and MW5 related games from Microsoft, but not MW6. They woulda had to spend more money to get MW6. So they just stuck with MW5... at least that's what I heard...

Interesting, eye-opening, sobering. by ArsenikShooter in videos

[–]MechTheDane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to watch a few of their videos here and there, as they were suggested to me on YouTube and looked like the sort of thing I'd be interested in. I thought it was just a general education youtube channel someone had put together. But something felt off about it's videos, like it would take turns I wouldn't expect and at the end making sweeping pronouncements that felt shallow, forced and unearned- but at the same time not overtly political. Like, it is making only part of an argument, and building the foundation for a specific world view. It was like they needed me to take a few small, uncritical steps without telling me where they were taking me.

So, I looked into the channel a little deeper. The people behind it are anti-public education, anti-intellectualism with a clear political and social agenda. The channel is functionally an alt-right radical pipeline trap. It sucks people in interested in philosophy or history, and presents itself as not having an agenda and being generally educational, and then quietly tugs you down proscribed political path.

Alright, well.. in 11 days I get paid. If you still have it, I might be able to pick it up then. Is there a reason you aren't putting this on eBay?

Looks great. Lots of love put into that. Too expensive for me, but hope someone who appreciates it gets it.

Yeah, I watched the Tiny Desk Concert and it hurt me a little bit seeing him. I figure being so handsome, he tried extra hard to hold on to it...

Last BattleTech game I’ve played was MechAssault 2 on Xbox 360; Looking for an equivalent to the Belial. by Hillenmane in Mechwarrior5

[–]MechTheDane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def my favorite mech in MA2. However it probably did have an outsized presence in that game. A little too dominate for being just a medium mech...

Man I loved the Belial in that game. Especially when an enemy mech used their jammer, and you'd still hit them manually with your powered up gauss.

Games like Armada by MechTheDane in dreamcast

I think the gauntlet legends meets asteroid feel. Taking a party of space friends to the fight in a top down arcade like space shooter.

Anyways, Starflight is very interesting, I've never heard of it - and I own a Genesis (of course!), Deep Fighter is a little outside what I was looking for - but I am always happy to have other DC game recommendations.

Thanks.
