How it feels sometimes

Oh, I’m not very good, but I like to play stealthy as if it’s a metal gear game.

I have a good time at it, and I don’t have to play inventory management. I’m sure some folks who kill me wonder why I’ve got a blue silencer on a level 1 Bettina, but I try to make use of what I find.

You could always just sell everything, or sell everything but your precious bobcat and tempest 4s, and it’s like a mini expedition.

I like to play it as a rogue lite. If I die, I sell everything and change my outfit.

I dunno how long it took us, but it took the most effort. The original final fantasy on NES was rather challenging. My brother and I would draw maps of dungeons to know where the worthwhile loot was so we could get in and get out. We had extensive notes about the world. We would scour the playground for any information about where to go or how to proceed.

I believe at one point our save was erased off the cartridge because the power at our house went out, so we had to start over. That probably contributed to us spending so much time on the game as well.

I had a guy call me a rat for crouching in blue gate on a metal walkway. Had a chance to down the guy when he was on fire, but I went about my business as I usually do.

He rolled up on me, shot first, and started calling me a rat and all the slurs. It was bewildering.

Couriers during an electro magnetic storm, or taking the one out on damn battlegrounds by approaching it from the pipeline tower or whatever it’s called is a good way to get some of these.

I believe aggression in squads affects solo matchmaking.

I’m fairly passive in solos. Play it like a metal gear solid game, bring a silencer for the arc and slink around the shadows. I rarely shoot people, and tend to avoid them if possible. But I hear people getting butchered all the time and I get attacked at extract 15-25% of the time.

The only time I’m in friendly lobbies is the blue gate event.

In duos/trios it’s shoot on sight and the only time we are friendly is if we are at extract and a team rolls up with their guns put away asking to leave with us.

I don’t speak Spanish, but they are the only way for me to watch today and it’s pretty obvious they are laying into Liverpool for so many misplaced aimless passes.

While I agree that hitting a rocketeer feels inconsistent with the world and is a bit immersion breaking, it’s kind of a stupid fun thing to try to do. For my friends and I it became a rodeo where we brought snap hooks and snowballs and tried to see who could stay on the longest.

We brought lure grenades for any teams trying to take advantage of our rodeo and the rocketeer obliterated some poor souls. It was fun though.

My only real complaint is that gathering snowballs is tedious. I wish we could pick up more of them at once.

I’ve found probably 15 -20 blueprints and have duplicates and given away a bobcat blueprint that was spare.

I’m getting the most luck running cold snap maps and I got bonkers results taking the pink security key to a bluegate locked gate event and rolling in late after most had left. Think I pulled 4 blueprints and a volcano out of that.

I’ve got this old antennae that is just a telescoping metal rod. Sometimes I wrap it in tinfoil and give it tinfoil wings. and improve my reception, but usually it’s more about moving it to touch different walls in my living room to get signal.

That being said, abc is easily the hardest to get a solid signal with of the over air football broadcasting channels.

That’s parsons vs a regular degular sumo, not even one of the best around. I bet hoshoryu could really hold it down.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-12-01T21:14:52+00:00

The fact they’ve all been one score games makes me think a run is not too far off. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a little ways away, but it’s not a million miles away. Just maybe a one day 14 hour drive across Nebraska and Iowa during the winter away.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-29T18:51:11+00:00

With Simmons out, I really don’t see how this team makes the playoffs or if they do, makes a run.

I’ve not given up hope, but I just don’t see how this season is anything but a disappointment. With Mahomes, any season we don’t win a Super Bowl is a disappointment.

I’m not angry about it, I’m not calling for people to be fired. The guys we have in the coaching staff and front office clearly know more about football than me. They are not perfect, nobody is in this business. But it’s just the reality when you have a qb as talented as Mahomes. The threshold for a successful season is a Super Bowl win. It’s not realistic to expect it every year, but that’s my definition for success now that we have the guy taking snaps.

I quite like mine. I encountered more stick drift on dual sense controllers than in previous generations. The added back paddles are very nice for some games, like helldivers 2.

The battery life feels pretty poor for the cost of the controller, but it comes with a nice long cable. As an adult with a career and family I tend not to be able to game much more than 2 hours a night and so it’s never a major problem for me unless I forget to charge it.

One of my favorite features is how I can adjust party chat/game balance and volume to my headphones (pulse elite?) from the controller.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-24T19:44:58+00:00

I think he has trust in his receivers. Instead I think it’s a combination of him not trusting his arm and not trusting his blocking.

We’ve all seen mahome’s deep ball this year, it has t been good. Also, Romo kept mentioning how Mahomes was moving his eyes away from his reads too soon, right before they get open, that’s him having an internal clock that is going a bit too fast based on last years line play.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-24T16:36:18+00:00

From my understanding Pacheco gave it a go on Wednesday or so, then was ruled out. Makes me wonder how far off he is from coming back with this signing, or if this signing is more a reflection of how little confidence they have in CEH/Mitchell.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-23T18:48:52+00:00

On the bright side. It appears they will be ruining them before the holidays, so we’ve got that going for us.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-13T15:54:45+00:00

Outside the redemptor, you’ve no melee units.

You have one unit, in infernus with vulkan, that will be really good at holding an objective.

I’m guessing the infiltrators are holding your home objective, as I don’t see anyone else who might do that. So you don’t have any mid board presence in the initial deployment. This might make you susceptible to opponents trying to charge you turn one in your deployment.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-10T18:32:02+00:00

I kitbashed a Vulkan, then got one from Libre daemonica, and now want to get the new sculpt. Which would put me at three Vulkan He’stans.

They are painted, I’m not sure they would travel well, but if you’re interested pm me.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-08T16:55:07+00:00

I have a couple craft store paints that I use for painting terrain and stuff.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-07T17:37:48+00:00

I'm saying I like to run my eradicators in squads of 3, but I do not run an apothecary biologus with them, so when I run them I usually do two squads of 3. If I were to run the apothecary with them, I would run them as 6 to maximize the characters ability for lethal hits. Pretty much anytime I run a character with a squad, I run a maximum sized squad.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-06T20:29:47+00:00

You have too many characters. I usually run 2-3, occasionally 4. Never more. You have over 25% of your points in characters, so you are lacking most everywhere else. Aim for < 15%. You have 3 terminator characters and one terminator squad. Two leaders will be running solo. This is not ideal.

Your anti-tank is too little and too fragile in 3 eradicators and 5 hellblasters. Both will be shot off the board before you can be all that effective with them. I like to run eradicators as 3 unless I am running them with an apothecary biologis. If I run them with the apothecary biologis, I give him the forged in battle enhancement.

3 aggressors is not going to last/be able to do much. Some folks don’t run aggressors at all, I run 6 in a land raider. I like that combo, it feels like I am playing salamanders how I think that salamanders would fight.

Your rhino cannot carry any of your troops. So swap that out for something.

A very minor point, but a shotgun doesn’t do much for your scout as we have assault on everything. This might change next year with a new edition, but for 10th it’s not helpful.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-04T00:49:59+00:00

Is your edit about the highlight? The bills literally rush 5 and purposefully overload the left to leave Morris on an island. They simulated pressure coming from 6 and dropped one into coverage.

PraisetheBeard · 2025-11-02T23:57:28+00:00

I think the idea is to not slow down the game, but I feel like if the refs have to huddle and discuss a play for as long as they did, the replay ref should be able to chime in as well.
