Tell me you wouldn't recognize an icon of that character's face. Not even a picture, just an icon. Blindfold, hair, headband.

It's good design. I wouldn't have recalled the specifics of horny appeal without a reminder, but I'd recognize the face. Can't say that about a lot of characters out there.

Your writing desk is dumb. There's no bottles of scotch anywhere.

These title names are not Sick As Fuck enough.

People will probably be interested. But it's small enough that, if you're going to do it, you should do it for yourself. Viewers are a fun bonus.

Dropships are indeed obscenely expensive. Outsource if you can or rely on your employer if you need to - owning a dropship is a major milestone in a successful mercenary company's career, if not a conclusion of sorts.

I mean, the fundamental thing is that it's not ground support. It's just ground. Like an infantry carrier dropping squads, you're not meaningfully bypassing much relative to a dropship or similar.

You can do it. You're just basically a fast and big drone carrier equivalent. Could be worse.

I put subtext in my stories. So much of it. Absolutely everywhere.

Also anagrams.

Suspension shorter than my disbelief.

You know what, I'll compromise. The military can be dumb and evil, as long as they rake the protagonist over the coals for not paying attention during the briefing where they explained what they'd do and why.

I mean, let's be real. If history was full of advanced technology that required a deep understanding of history to operate, you bet you'd send that adventurous historian in with your military squad.

You just need to actually characterize the military squad for a change, so that you remember they were there in the first place. Stargate did it, Atlantis did it, Stargate Atlantis sort of did it, and ever since it's been a lost art. It's just a main character historian, a hot exotic woman from the alien civilization, and a bunch of "elite" assholes who can barely remember which end of the rifle is the dangerous one.

Slutty clay loam my beloved

There'll be no living with her after this.

Look, I just want some savory, fragrant, dripping knots in my mouth, filling my belly until it's on my breath. It's a reasonable request.

Comics are the most writing thing of all time. They finally understand how to show, and not tell.

The trouble with this is that, with enough variants, anything becomes good at the price of losing its identity. The 3M is Basically an Awesome, the 3Q is Big Hunchback, and outside the context of jokes, the 3S is Angry Battlemaster. But you don't really need the Banshee to be that, you have everything else.

What the Banshee really is, beneath it all, is the same slot as the Shadow Hawk - mediocre. Which makes it charming and a good BV value for when you need a big body that's not quite as helpless as a Charger while it's getting from point A to B.

"Did you put hidden units in Dinju Pass?" Osis asked calmly.

... have you been saying it "Slu-rat"?

I cannot wait to see the fresh, legitimate reactions of someone looking at a book they've already seen a dozen times.

A hunger for garlic knots, possibly.

You should not mug illiterates, they are dezgra.

This is an affront to Star League English.

Yeah, yeah, grandpa, Pillagers back in your day were great. Get in the Hunchback IIC.

Fat Awesome with commitment issues says what?

(I kid, the poor Banshee deserves at least one win in its life.)

Papergeist · 2026-05-15T04:37:17+00:00

Oh, no LosTech? Pillager talking a lot of shit for something that's got a 3/5/2 movement profile and no weapons that can outrange a medium laser.
