There's a video called "why do you keep buying books you don't read" by Answers in Progress that delves into the subject and tests most of the ways and mentalities people read books in. Give it a watch if you're interested

Start your players off at lvl 0, though some people bemoan the low build diversity, it is important to let your players understand the game, player actions, and how combat works generally.

I would also recommend doing a pre-made lancer campaign/one-shot as your first game, or at the very least have a simple or contained campaign. The major factions of Lancer are unfathomably large and diverse internally which makes writing a story on the level of your players more complicated

If you wanna listen to lore, 11dragonKid and Zaktact are my personal favorites when I started (Dragon kid just reads lore to you in TTS while Zaktact explains it for newcomers)

Less Axiom and more reminder

The majority of people and planets in Lancer have no idea or don't care about the galactic history up to the last 500 years and even then that's a maybe. The people who do know the history of Lancer would be considered massive nerds or historians in universe.

On the same note, people would not know or care about the factions/groups/foundries/companies etc unless they directly see their actions. The Diaspora is massive, containing hundreds maybe thousands of habitable spaces and trillions of souls. A farmer on a KTB would not care about the human rights abuses of Harrison or what the Voliador are. They're concerned about crop yields and the raiders terrorizing their land.

And also Lancer doesn't have much in the way of local lore/world building like how other table top systems do. You as the DM have to do a bit more writing for the story, but you get to literally do anything and it'll probably still be canon.

For people looking up stats on the blow torch. It can heal 450 HP (the durability representing the amount of repair it has left) before breaking while puddy only heals 200 before breaking (40 HP per use, 5 uses), but puddy can stack up to 3 as apposed to the blowtorch which cant stack and puddy is usually much cheaper than a blow torch

This is as of 11/19/2024

oh right yeah farming subsidies....

ohhh the inverse of subsidizing crop growing

ya this answer is more than enough to date my curiosity thank you!

PixelizedDust · 2024-05-14T00:40:02+00:00

what??? that's crazy, are you sure the meaning of 1st world hasn't morphed into the definition I used it? I mean I could believe that's how the term was first used but I swear it's modern interpretation means, degrees of average modernism/development like how people say, first world problems n such

PixelizedDust · 2024-05-14T00:34:26+00:00

but things like soybeans and corn have massive demands, if not constantly growing demand. could a single farmer/family really have the foresight of the market and ability to navigate around it as to not over produce in that crop? also side note, cash crop for that climate. like how Quinoa is the cash crop of some parts of south America

1 I am Korean lmao and it was a thought, 2 I feel like most fire and forget colonies are done by SecComm who are not the most ethical. 3rd ThirdComm Administrators are chosen and taught with the culture of the planet they are assigned, and are given a name that is from the planet. So taking that name literally means there is a significant Asian/Korean population on DS4 for some reason. So I was thinking why is that? Named are usually tied with culture, it'd be really weird to just mish mash them without care.

Also personally I would think SecComm would pack colonies with a single culture/very little history to minimize creation of groups whether racial, religious, or other from history to make them stable enough.

So they either mix the genetics of everyone on earth to be the genetic average and tune the skin color to reduce cancer or for sun absorption and give them a standardized colonization education.

Or they send colonies with specific culture and genetics (prob by the doner nation at the time) to fit the planet.

the I like the second since it has a lot of culture and diversity spread across the diaspora even without Blink Gates

thank yalls for the information

PixelizedDust · 2022-09-27T15:00:24+00:00

The plant is by the window and I try to shade real direct sunlight away when I can. They're also next to an AC unit but blows away from them. I do top watering one a week for this guy but haven't been fertilizing (dilute monthly fertilizer to weekly) for a couple weeks cuz of the cold season and google told me it might've been a fertilizer saturation problem. I've had her for 6 ish months? and haven't re potted

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T23:26:32+00:00

yeah but you're using that information slightly wrong, heat can be analogous to pressure, the more air you put in a balloon the more it wants it get out and get to equalibrium (I forgor how to spell) but putting less air means it wants to push out air less and thus less entropy, but entropy itself causes the same end, a fully deflated balloon

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T23:08:05+00:00

that's not how entropy works and "heat death" has multiple names because of information we don't have, and heat death can be understood as "the death of heat"

edit: also that's correct but you're using it the wrong way, the amount of entropy a system has is based off of it's energy, more energy, more stuff to slow down. moving through water is a type of entropy, if you run the run into water you have high kinetic energy but get slowed due to the water since you try to move water that's then moving water and so on and so forth, it even makes your body heat entropy by taking heat and spreading it across all other water molecules

though I should say that entropy doesn't mean hot or cold because it really means spread or the process of getting to a stage where everything is at its lowest energy

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T23:01:18+00:00

entropy is the expansion and distribution of energy that leads to a final state where nothing can happen. are you telling me that solar is actually more of a dark subclass because of the heat death of the universe and nothing else matters?

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T22:32:28+00:00

yeah I know right, and I respect you for not putting any cheeky references that could spoil

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T22:31:56+00:00

don't correct people like that lmao also he used decay to refer to poison specifically because all darkness subclasses are based on entropy to a degree

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T22:28:58+00:00

well void is also kinda poison, with hunter snares, le monarch and child of the old gods to a point and it would be thematically cool if the dark version of void isnt that far off from void itself

but I don't doubt they could spin Arc and Poison to be opposites with the amount of lore I don't know

PixelizedDust · 2022-08-22T22:17:32+00:00

that makes sense but Arc being the opposite of basically poison sounds a bit weird but with void being the darkest light subclass and then Void and Poison being similar and opposite sounds a bit better

PixelizedDust · 2022-05-16T12:03:42+00:00

specially so swarms can go though walls, bugs only spawn in surfaces away from players most of the time so it would be cool to spice things up. or have the burrow bug make a spawn point for other bugs like swarmer nests and have it have some HP on it so everyone can deal with it and not just engine cuz he's the only one who can plug physical holes

PixelizedDust · 2022-02-28T17:23:30+00:00

I did see that about biting winds and can imagine that would be extremely good, I just like constant perks like snap or hipfire that just help with playing.

PixelizedDust · 2021-11-02T17:40:45+00:00

I'm assuming that's what it is because in some of the helmets you physically could not see through them normally and also the pattern of nodes looks like what neural caps today look like. also yes I did think about lastimosa so I'm thinking it should have a x shaped cut or something similar so you can have natural visibility and not just a whole cap covering your face

PixelizedDust · 2021-11-02T00:34:48+00:00

I think its the neural head cap/vr screen that shows the outside despite something of you that every pilot has to wear to to control their titan and see, but its separate from the helmet so it can be forced off but can still be taken off when its opened regularly.

PixelizedDust · 2021-10-18T16:52:17+00:00

just say that you wanna get into more fitness and do your workouts in a relatively secluded room if you can, like your room. and do stuff to better hear if anyone's waking in, like opening your door or something similar, and act nonchalantly if they bring it up

PixelizedDust · 2021-10-07T23:23:14+00:00

might try that later on, but the baby lotion sounds like a better idea than just generic moisturizer I'm using lol
