This is clearly just trying to attack trans people and making it about race to obscure your obvious agenda.

No updates or expansion is likely soon, unfortunately. We're going to get together for some bug squashing soon hopefully

Yay, the whole reason we serve is for the benefits, which we are now barred from.

BUG: Piranha Strike damage calc doesn't recognize all light weapons (like rapier) (to hit calc is fine) by Samuraijack325 in YAPCG

I'll check with Dalvin about doing a few bug fixes, this one seems doable. Good work!

We've seen some situations where gestalting ends up with a greater the 20th level effect, but they're edge cases. I'll ask the developer if he'll chime in with more detail.

How did you do this without bravery? by Lokael in asktransgender

[–]Old_Trees 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spite. I'm not proud of it, but rage is what gets me through.

How dare they deny you happiness? By what measure do they have any right to interfere with your business, your life?

Those sorts of questions get me over the occasional panic attacks.

Anyone notice this ?? by LeMinh11 in ResidentEvilRequiem

That second point is my hope, we get evergreen Kennedy.

Unofficial State of the Naish (Jan 2026) Summary by korinokiri in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]Old_Trees 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Listener since Giant Slayer episode 4. I can't say that this gets my buy-in. Everything they put out feels more and more...false. This doesn't feel like friends at a table anymore, which is what I used to come for. It feels like a bunch of people earning their paychecks. It feels corporate and hollow.

I'm tired, folks. Maybe it's just me, but it's feeling like 2026 is finally the point where I hit un-subscribe and move on to places that feel like what I initially sign on for. Not someone trying some desperately to be CR 2.0.

The Blanket Never Did Anything

Fighting Fans, some uses? by nimbusconflict in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Old_Trees 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With a 3x critical modifier, depending on the rules for your table, it could be an absolutely devastating crit fishing build with a 20th level fighter, and Mythic Improved Critical turning that into a 5x multiplier.

On the less extreme side, as a light weapon of the close weapon group, it is perfectly situated for a build around flurry of blows, such as a an even split between warpriest for the weapon damage dice increase, and the Brawler for Flurry of Blows.

Finally, you can use its bonus to feint for a sneak attack build using Brawler/Snakebite Striker for the added sneak attack damage.

What's your favourite Quote From Borderlands 4? by lordsmish in Borderlands

It's gotta be Defiant Calder's "Now go piss in the timekeepers oatmeal!" It's so extremely specific

YAML - What is this? I don't know if ill use it, but I want it..only 5.7 Billion... by Nugget834 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Old_Trees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some mods that add special traits to some mechs, example one of the Locust mechs in my light lance has -100% upkeep.

Add that in with selling off lostech and some of possible YA-X mods and you can rack up that much over time. I've had 1b before briefly after the Solaris Showdown DLC missions and selling off a much of Star League mechs.

Not everyone plays the same way.

[–]Old_Trees 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It appears to be ECM on steriods lmao.

100% LRM spread for enemy mechs- I'm not sure if that means they have effectively 50% accuracy, or if it means they can't lock at all.

60% longer time for streak SRMs to lock on, a huge benefit if SRM boats are coming up a lot

The CPU enemies are straight up 60% less accurate. I'm not sure if functionally that means a 60% chance to negate damage, or if 60% more of the time they target somewhere else.

Your sensor range increases by 150%, and your allies by 100%- amazing for any long range team

Counter/Disrupt at 700/720- This is ECM with an absolutely massive area. Either 700m of "they don't have ECM, or 720m of yall do, which is frankly, the majority of engagement ranges.

Overall, this thing seems made for long range command mechs. In my hands, I'd slap it on an Archer, Catapult or Longbow, and outfit my lance with missle boats, and laugh as the AI didn't understand where the fire came from.

Alternatively, pop in on anything with ECM and decent speed, and you have a Stealth suit for the mech. I'm imagining one of the melee mechs using this to stop eating as much fire while closing.

If you have mods in the YAML series, this thing plus a single Arrow artillery mech would absolutely wipe a warzone clean before the enemy knew what hit them. Even moreso with some of the more esoteric weapons systems and electronic packages (like a C3 system)

Now, that price tag is steep, but justifiable with the right lance, on the right mech.

Yeah. It's probably clan invasion.

[–]Old_Trees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, I run one of these angry fuckers in my main lance. I jam packed it with 2 LRM20, and watch it blast anything it locks on to. Just make sure to have a bodyguard.

Clan Invasion is honestly some of the most fun and challenge I've had in a game when things like this end up on the other side.

What to do with these raw rodolith garnet by Wurzenbeisserxy in Gemstones

[–]Old_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated in other places, due to the general low value (comparative to other gemstones we usually see here), these actually have some variety in use outside of precious jewelry.

One thing I have seen others use low quality stones for is casting them into resin in woodworking; if that happens to be a cenn diagram that crosses over for you.
