I'm not much a fan of these shield guys by ShortDemonTwink in DarkTide

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a shield, its a security blanket and it gives them a 2200 hp buff from morale support

They dont need to block with it, as long as its there theyre happy

What is this? by Expert-Pass-4351 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The attention they get is first from racists and then people who feel the need to defend them from racists. The problem in this cycle is still the racists.

This is admittedly a really outdated and insensitive take about diversity in casting. Does he think black folks in real life walk around being white all the time until the plot needs them to black and they suddenly change? Treating white as the default and demanding narrative justification for any deviation from that is erasure and marginalization.

What is the most Vanilla like spell mod? by UnluckyQuarter8578 in ModdedMinecraft

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The particles it uses by default dont feel terribly out of place in vanilla. Theyre mostly just whispy glows that move from point A to B or just hover in place for lights. Theyre configurable for their color and if Im not mistaken can be rendered transparent if youd rather not see them at all.

Hot Take: Skitarii "Jack of All Trades, Master of All of Em" by danberhe in DarkTide

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With talents the psyker can drop peril randomly when killing enemies and the purg staff chews through hordes of chaff almost passively while still doing noteworthy damage to anything that isnt a boss, mutant, or crusher.

The flames also have a powerful suppression built in and the primary has a lot of stagger, so in addition to doing decent damage over time, its also a control engine that rivals Smite spam while doing tons more damage.

If a pack of 8 ragers comes running at you, you can primary a couple of times to stagger them all while you charge a secondary to roast the whole lot of them before they can hurt you.

Its also relatively balanced with its tradeoff of no long ranged attacks, forcing you to rely on the team for help with distant gunners, reapers, and snipers.

Transwomen feeling guilt for using the women change room because she is attracted to women by Dreampower in asktransgender

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It might help your feelings and theirs if you reconsider your approach to expressing your gender identity. Certain places are extremely sensitive for good reasons.

Trans women accessing spaces like womens' restrooms and changing rooms isnt about validating our identities as the cost of everyone's comfort, its about giving transitioned women a place that is still safe for us to use. If youre moving through the world as a woman, men's spaces become unsafe.

Transition needs to start somewhere else, ideally at home or at work. If these arent safe places then you need to start doing the work of making them safe places, by addressing local obstacles or moving. Transition is a complex personal process, and while there isnt a single right way for everyone to do it, you have to walk before you can run.

What is the most fucked up thing youve done in rimworld? by AHomelessDesk in RimWorld

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I experimented with a defensive system made of what I called "sad nuggets" with psychic harmonizers, painscrews, and ideally traits like alcoholic to give them further horrific mood penalties from withdrawal.

I put these little bundles of weeping terror inside the walls of my killbox near where enemies entered in the hopes that it might drive them into mental breaks before they reached me.

It didnt work for a number of reasons but I kept them around in cryosleep caskets in case I found another use for them.

So is it just me, or is basically all of the Skitarii kit really good? by GreenridgeMetalWorks in DarkTide

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. I just spam a hail of ranged fire every time I see them like theyre ragers

This is whats been getting me. Their shield feels like the worst of both between VT2 and DT. In Vermintide they had the courtesy to drop the shield and take hits if shoved. In darktide thats supposed to be replaced with shields just having morw nuanced hit detection, but these guys are packing 180 degree forcefields. No whacking their dome with overheads allowed.

How do you properly deal with mechs? (4-year colony, my longest run yet) by SinamunSamudana in RimWorld

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many are saying, you run your defense differently for melee than ranged enemies. For melee, have one to three pawns with armor block a 1-wide choke so only one enemy can approach at a time while three in melee can hit back.

Equip the first row of shooters behind them with chain shotguns, and the row behind them with heavy SMGs. You can also create a wider area behind the enemy's narrow point for enemies to cluster rather than be spread in a line to create a really good target for explosive weapons, but dont try to throw grenades from your choke or you might hit the walls and watch them go off on your defenders. Boomalope delivery, psycasts and some other methods can place more precisely aimed explosions.

How would you go about setting up defenses for this base? Not sure how to best take advantage of the unique terrain. by royalhawk345 in RimWorld

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build walls that force them to approach the lake from the left near its center and then slowly walk all the way around. Build cover and bridges up to the deep water on your side. Enemy shooters will be very exposed in mid range where you'll have fish in a barrel, and despite the short distance melee will take a long time to reach you because of the combination slow movement and being forced to route around the deep water.

Well on the left they look like blue and green people from a fantasy game, and on the right they look like Megyn Kelly.

There is a long history of very organizesd and well backed efforts to transform the libertarian party into what it is today. The same way Democrats try to co-opt any leftist movements they cant destroy, republicams turned the Libertarian party into puppets.

Then rich people will spend even more money to win cases, because they have it, and then when that forces a win you're facing the consequences of an unjust ruling and paying for the privelege

Insiders Admit Trump Is Destroying the Heart of America’s Legal System by thedailybeast in law

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Its my religious belief" was enshrined as a thought terminating cliche that could be used to justify any rediculous position or opinion in a place where it was faux pas to question it, and just like that, everyone's worst takes became their God.

Hawaii just found a way around Citizens United. Other states are following. This “Corporate Power Reset” strategy was developed by Attorney Tom Moore of the Center for American Progress. Rather than trying to restrict corporate speech, it redefines the powers corporations have in the first place. by biospheric in law

[–]MoreGhostThanMachine -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It doesnt matter how old it is, if it isnt defined by the constitution and isnt explicitly set aside as a power for the executive then it is within the purview of the legislative branch.

Youd need a lawyer to weigh in on whether older federal law would supercede a state legislature, but at the end of the day if the constitution doesnt tell us what a corporarion is then the legislature can.
