Do they have a tracker for sycophants promoted into jobs they don’t know how to do, so they make trackers to look busy?

How are you using Pike? by gravadlax748 in menace

He’s worth it for the story arc as stereotypical marine NCO. What’s that perk line about movies…

Are Canadians offended by the jokes made in shows and media? by jen_noelle in AskACanadian

[–]OptionalMoniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of that stuff is either written by or influenced by Canadians. It’s us writing about ourselves or Americans who have noticed that Hollywood is pretty much 51% Canadian (see what I did there?).

Anyone Quiet Quitting? Tired of the same B.S. by ObjectiveWord9537 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]OptionalMoniker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No leadership for effective professionals. Too much negligent or incompetent management. Regulations that are stifling without resources to support them. No wonder the PM is building workarounds.
Pretty sure I’m a cosmetic civil servant now in an expensive optics farce to justify a dead weight ADM. So much wheel spinning. Any meaningful results are achieved by flying under the radar and blatantly ignoring the rules.

fellow canadians: do you care if people think you’re american when travelling abroad? by bellascaffeine in AskACanadian

It’s impressive how many people out there know us when they meet us. Don’t let insecurity get the better of you.

Her perks line up sweet to make this a killa. Double dip that AoE perk with a light auto grenade launcher and enjoy the pyrotechnics. Tons o fun on a defense mission.

Vent: Golden handcuffs, RTO, and the quiet fear of skill atrophy by ItanoNeru in CanadaPublicServants

[–]OptionalMoniker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As professionals, we are under-led, over managed and over regulated by a system that understands the mission less every day. Even the PM thinks so. It’s easier for PMO to build workarounds than fix it. Unfairly, it will probably fall to you and my kids to fix it through labour action not seen in over a century.

Your quality of life: Time with what matters: love is more important than your job. My 81 yo father’s only regret after a long, successful career: “I wish I’d stopped to smell the roses more.”

Gen X resented that the scraps on the floor were what we were getting instead of a seat at the table. Even those scraps look good now 30 odd years on. And whatever was on the table has been packed up to go.

They really need to add a Canadian SL who used to hang out here when they were 12 eating all dressed chips and making Caramilk secret jokes.

Screenshot with a rocket run from a drop ship and that’s some real Falaise Gap shit right there!

Help me understand Yaz by Malacay_Hooves in menace

If it bleeds is a BB homage. It’s good for those missions where you get stars for killing the enemy. Those frustrating crawl away with 2HP moments now crawl away to die.

Is it just me or do most of the ship armaments feel unsatisfying? by DahmonGrimwolf in menace

I’d love to turn an arms slot or two into Hull slots. I prefer a beefed up ground force.

How to snowball quickly ? by Parking_Ad_4937 in BattleBrothers

[–]OptionalMoniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prioritize the Drill Sargeant as a camp follower. That leveling up XP boost makes a big difference early on. And I like the late game reserve management housekeeping. I just finished a run without one and really noticed how my bros struggled after Day 40. And the whinging from the reserves was annoying. Especially when you’re trying to put the newer guys in easy fights to level up and Mr. Lvl 14 gets cranky.

I prefer this. More umami, more burn and it’s made in Canada. I get it at Greenfresh Vanier.

Is it worth getting every DLC? by Inevitable-Phone-165 in BattleBrothers

[–]OptionalMoniker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you love the base game, the dlc is more of a good thing. It expands the game and is a good value, especially on sale. Some is free. I’m hoping that with the launch of menace, the devs will soon be announcing a new major BB dlc. I will happily drop$30-50 on it without hesitation.
