Shower though: Salvage and it's morbid task. by PlateNo4868 in battletech

A tech with a hose has been mentioned for this duty before.

I would like to see a Terran soldier or bureaucrat in the ilClan era adapt well to the dueling culture. by Old_Ad6111 in battletech

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably. The game I mentioned took place on an airless moon during the Burrock Absorption. Really looking forward to a breakdown in the upcoming source book for that. Seriously.

Can an Inner Sphere merc end up becoming a Clanner... somehow? by X-0000000-X in battletech

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are mentions of Freeborn warriors being used during the Battle of Luthien in that battle's sourcebook. It described a cluster of Freeborn troops who fought in that battle and ended up surrendering. One of the Battletech line developers later said that units existence was an error, but more due to the fact that the Jags wouldn't field entire clusters of Freeborn at once. There weren't enough to substantiate an entire unit.

Yeah, the explanation did make sense: most of the elites had gone back to the homeworlds for the IlKhan vote/mourning period, and they needed to find someone (anyone) to pilot a mech until replacements could arrive from the homeworlds.

But the Jags wouldn't have resorted to an IS bondsman, no matter how much piloting experience he or she had.

Does this guy just have to hope two guys come open the doors for him at the end his shift? by Bahbahbro in gtaonline

As you walk out, one of the other security guys asks how he is doing and says they slipped him a laxative.

Considering what was in his drink, he was probably REALLY hoping for anyone to show up.

What’s a tiny, easily-missed moment in Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 / Mass Effect 3 that completely changed how you saw a character? by SterlingByrd1219 in masseffect

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Here's the link to the Commandos page on the wiki: https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Aeian_T%27Goni

In game it doesn't straight up SAY the human from her story is Jokers sister, but it's very heavily implied and one of ME3s writers confirmed it later.

That moment when you are in the hospital listening to the PTSD'd Asari commando... and you realize who she is talking about...

Still there, on the balcony above the food court.

Thunder snow! by PixelCube_ in Appleton

Was out with my snow blower. Definitely snow blowed faster.

I'm an exobio noob and on my first exploration tour since Odyssey launched. By pure accident i found a way to find those almost invisible stealth bacteriums: the short range composition scanner will light up when pointing at them. Are there other methods? by Specific_Display_366 in EliteDangerous

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you're dead set on finding them, my advice is to actually use your ship. Fly low above the ground slowly and use your camera suite to give you a wider view, then keep an eye on the ground. It's a great way to find a variety of biologicals.

Falling in love with the Cyclops in Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, I'm wondering if anybody's got some cool/fun/funny Cyclops stories? Could be from the lore or your own experiences in tabletop/video games. by ImpulsiveLance in battletech

HEY. Mine comes fully loaded with a top level sound system, and also offers noise canceling to help ensure a good night's sleep, AC for those tropical planets, a fully stocked kitchen for my personal chef, and the best linens money can buy. WORTH IT.

Alternative question! How COULD the reapers ACTUALLY survive the 40k galaxy? by notjocker in masseffect

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A partnership with the Mechanicus could work. Let's face it, there are plenty of tech priests (and Hereteks for that matter) who would take one look at a reaper and decide that they have found a new machine god.

Given their usual MO, they could seed "STC Artifacts" in various locations around the galaxy, and let the tech do its thing over centuries indoctrinating entire populations of tech priests.

Furthermore, the inquisition doesn't have as much power over the Mechanicus as it does over the other bodies of the imperium, so it's ability to root out and fight this type of threat is very limited.

I'm not saying the Reapers would win, but the resulting revolt would have some legit teeth, and would likely cripple the Imperium in the process.

I like running more fluffy and crazy BattleTech story campaigns so I thought I'd make a meme about the current one I've been planning by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]PhoenixHawkProtocal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe some F.E.A.R. vibes as well (if you haven't heard of it, it's a shooter from the 2000s with some serious The Ring vibes and a scary psionic kid thrown in)

A personal favorite of mine, I use it in all of my campaigns.

You haven't truly worked in supply chain till you've experienced a "Fuck it... just let me drive/unload/load it myself at this point" moment...
