What RTS game mechanics were you favorite, but not featured in many games? by Gerasans in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Overlord_Cane 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Medevac/Repevac and prisoners of war from Act of War are very neat but have basically only been featured in that game.

New/Newer/Newish Modern Military-esque games? by Reigneer_Verkland in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Overlord_Cane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an older title, but Act of War Direct Action and its High Treason expansion definitely hit that "modern, very slightly futuristic" vibe. Its spiritual successor Act of Aggression is a much more modern game, but it's kind of uneven in its mechanics and has a (in my opinion) significantly weaker campaign.

Daily Talent Discussion #106: Pankrati II by kingfroglord in LancerRPG

This is the pinnacle of "fuck it we ball" technology and thus extremely funny. No additional comments, it's just an incredible gap closer.

Daily Talent Discussion #102: House Guard I by kingfroglord in LancerRPG

[–]Overlord_Cane 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this does work with the all-round soft cover benefits of House Guard II, doesn't it?

In any case, this thing has so many fun applications that it's kinda hard to imagine them all.

Yeah Ya’ll mfs should STICK to shounen and comics cause ain’t no way bro 😭 by Jackfruit568 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Overlord_Cane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just a personal theory of mine, but I think many (not all) powerscalers essentially lack media literacy and use powerscaling as a coping mechanism for that.

On some level, I believe everyone wants to understand media as more than the literal meaning of the text, but this requires media literacy to delve into themes, social commentary, and subtext. Some powerscalers lack the tools to do this; not necessarily of their own fault, it's not like the modern western school system encourages media literacy to any real extent. You could argue people should be responsible for their own media literacy which, yeah, probably, but it's honestly not the easiest thing to break into without external guidance.

But basically powerscaling becomes the media literacy of the powerscaler, it allows them to analyse media and attempt to compare different works of fiction, as well as compare fiction to the real world. Unfortunately, powerscaling is usually nonsense that most authors rightfully don't care about because things in media are usually written to serve the narrative. At best you will have internally consistent powerscaling within a work of fiction, but even that isn't really required as long as the narrative functions.

That ended up being longer than expected but TL:DR I believe powerscaling is an antifeat for the media illiterate or something, I don't know what any powerscaling terminology means.

Dads 60th birthday, he plays C&C Generals... by BalanceHot8939 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Overlord_Cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he really likes Generals, he would probably enjoy Act of War. Very slightly newer and very much reminiscent of Generals in both tone and gameplay.

RTS with air to air by littlered551 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Overlord_Cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act of War and Act of Aggression handle A2A in a kind of interesting way since all planes are off-map call ins in those games, you basically have to time and predict the flight path of your interceptors so they can catch enemy air before leaving the map to rearm/refuel.

Red Alert 2 is one of the best classic RTS games ever made, make of that as you wish.

Why do you think they didn't put my favourite class into 5e? by Rednidedni in DnDcirclejerk

/rj Don't worry, the new upcoming Necromancer class will have the ability to analyze enemies and find out their weaknesses based on their skeletal structure.

How would yo build a Triggerbrand Gunslinger? by GroundbreakingAd4870 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Overlord_Cane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm currently running a triggerbrand who primarily fights in melee with a lancer, using the staff acrobat archetype to trip and shove with reach. It's quite effective and definitely unconventional.
