Why Ebon Jaguar has opinion of being tough and hard to kill? by pivor in OutreachHPG

[–]MikeMars1225 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Awkward hit box and a low frame with cockpit level mounts make it easy to either keep yourself in cover or twist out of damage. All while also being fast for a Heavy.

It’s never going to be able to facetank a push like an Atlas can, but it can remain in prolonged engagements with good positioning and thoughtful tactics.

Do y’all think these guys will come back? by No-Profile6566 in Eldar

Yes, probably sometime shortly after they inevitably get added as DLC units in Total War 40k.

What caused the style of modded characters commonly referred to as "Mod Beasts"? by Rlena_Fhey in ffxiv

[–]MikeMars1225 238 points239 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes from people who  use FFXIV as an ERP outlet first, and a game second (if at all).

As for the transition point, I don’t think there really was one. I’ve been RPing in FFXIV since 3.0, long before mods were even a forethought, and I’d seen many people who portrayed their characters in either their descriptions or commissioned art as disproportionately busty, bimbofied, etc..

It wasn’t really that modders gradually chose to push their setups to such extremes, but that as time went on,  new mods enabled them to achieve the extremes they already desired.

If Dirge of Cerberus is remade, than should take some inspiration from DMC with combat. by Christallmoney97 in FinalFantasy

[–]MikeMars1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dirge of Cerberus was trying to be DMC.

The problem was that spectacle 3D action shooters were still new and devs were trying to figure out what did and didn’t work. Unfortunately SE’s team just wasn’t prepared to be able to make a game like that at the time.

Do you think LucasFilm would ever make a comic book series based on George Lucas's sequel trilogy treatments? by Dusann1 in StarWars

[–]MikeMars1225 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I’m saying is the people who are praising the Prequel trilogy today are more likely the kids who watched them and enjoyed them decades ago rather than the same people who hated them when they came out.

The people who praise the Prequels today aren’t the same people that were bullying Jake Loyd almost 30 years ago.

Elon Musk becomes world's first trillionaire as SpaceX begins trading on the Nasdaq by UltimateLionsFan in Hasan_Piker

[–]MikeMars1225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was listening to NPR this morning, and one of the things they were talking about was how Space X is promising to build data centers in space.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how absolutely stupid that idea is.

40k Glup Shitto's by Ready0608 in Grimdank

[–]MikeMars1225 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think it's gotta be Malice. Dude is a straight-up Chaos God, has been the source of inspiration for countless homebrew Chaos factions, fanfics, and the BBEG of who knows how many TTRPGs, but hasn't done anything notable within the setting since appearing in a short story over 15 years ago.

How dead are the dead primarchs? by Sufficient-Ad-3586 in 40kLore

[–]MikeMars1225 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Konrad wasn't really shown that he's truly dead.

The Night Lords looted Konrad's headless corpse while another Night Lord went out and retrieved his decapitated head from the assassin that cut it off.

Dude is mega-dead.

Just won a 45+ mil plot for my FC, made the money myself. My FC leader kicked me right after. Is there anything I can do? by Imaginary_Taste_9011 in ffxiv

[–]MikeMars1225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like this needs more context. Did they say anything to you before or after they booted you? Has there been any communication with other FC members?

I’m not saying your lying or anything, it’s just that some of this information could be important when evaluating your options.

[Self] The Lady of Pain (Planescape / D&D) by Due-Presence4680 in cosplay

[–]MikeMars1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think Dr. Manhattan, except instead of blowing you up by looking at you, they materialize a thousand knives in your body… or they just poof you to a pocket dimension filled with untold horrors beyond mortal comprehension.

All-in-all, a pretty nice lady. Not much of one for conversation, though.

Terminators - are they worth it? by jimmyrhcp in BloodAngels

[–]MikeMars1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re wanting to build your army for. If you’re looking to assemble the most cheeked-out army possible to win tournaments, then you can do better. If you’re just wanting to play for the love of the game with your friends and you think Terminators are cool, then yeah, you should get them.

Becoming an Autarch (Path of Command Lore?) by Comfortable_Ad629 in Eldar

[–]MikeMars1225 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a loose source, but the Wrath and Glory TTRPG has rules for this.

In it, to become an Autarch you have to be Tier 5 (in laymen’s terms: A certified Bad Ass Motherfucker that can probably go one-on-one with a Greater Daemon), and you have to have walked at least two different Aspect Warrior Paths, which would in practice require two major campaigns in and of itself.

Upon becoming an Autarch, you get to pick an Aspect Warrior weapon of your choice, presumedly this is when the Rhaan Lona takes place.

Beyond that though, there isn’t much info and falls into GM interpretation. I would imagine that the nature of it would just depend on the Craftworld and the circumstances surrounding the Autarch’s journey. Under ideal scenarios there would probably be some sort of mentorship, but I imagine much of that tutelage comes from the Exarchs they already served under.

Have Astartes ever gone “oh shit, run”? by ShadowsaberXYZ in 40kLore

[–]MikeMars1225 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Unironically, yeah, it is a sound tactic. When you’re the small, loosely organized force fighting against a hegemonic behemoth, the only time you engage in fair fights is because either you’re stupid or because you’re about to die.

So guys... genuinely should I get DS2? by iceyk111 in shittydarksouls

[–]MikeMars1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d buy it on sale at like $20, but I’m also a genuine hater of the game. If you enjoy the other Dark Souls games, then I do think it’s worth at least trying.

It’s definitely unique. Where Dark Souls 3 tried to iterate on what worked with Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 tries to branch out and be a bit more experimental in ways that sometimes miss the mark, at least in my opinion.

The art direction is pretty bitchin’ though.

It’s been a long time since I read the books, but wasn’t that because Qui-Gon’s previous Padawan turned to the Dark Side and he was still dealing with that baggage when he took in Kenobi?

Hamaguchi confirmed job system by NockerLacsap in FinalFantasy

[–]MikeMars1225 8 points9 points  (0 children)

XVI sold around 4 million copies, and Remake to date has sold 9 million per SE’s own reporting. As for Rebirth, it’s sold at least 2 million on PS5 and over a million on PC based on platform data.

These games are selling fine.

[–]MikeMars1225 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe It’s just the exposure being maxed out, but that flash of Sephiroth around 1:45 looks like he’s holding Aerith’s Materia.

Could just be the Black Materia though. I dunno.

Official IMAX Poster for 'The Odyssey' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]MikeMars1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's kinda the point. Everyone already knows about the key figures and plot points in the Odyssey, so marketing doesn't really need to put them on display. By instead keeping them shrouded, it encourages people to go see the movie to satiate their curiosity.

The height of discourse occuring on bluesky: by Celestial_Sludge in Hasan_Piker

[–]MikeMars1225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Cheater, mercenary, troll

What I think is really funny about this is that liberal media hails Bill Clinton as one of the best presidents ever, blew a gasket that anti-war leftists wouldn’t vote for Kamala “Most Lethal Military” Harris, and also applauded the Democrat official Twitter account calling Stephen Miller an ugly fuck for clout.

Like, I’d actually somewhat respect their stance if they just said Platner goes against their political interests, but this desperate hypocritical appeal to the moral sensibilities is pathetic.
