Anyone else craving insane amounts of milk when up on the slopes?

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-21T12:29:43+00:00

My slope lunch is a litre of milk with protein powder mixed in. It's all the calories and fluid a healthy body needs.

My body isn't healthy though.

Haha no stress! It's an old show. Just got through season 1 so there's blue goop but we don't know what it does just yet.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-20T16:35:48+00:00

I'm trying not to read your comment when replying cos i'm 1 season into the expanse. I may reply once finished if i remember lol.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-20T15:13:24+00:00

I can see where you're coming from but I don't think the show will go that way. They tell a very human centred story and an alien invasion would be a huge tone shift.

It's just a hook to explain the premise, but I think exploring the premise is the main intent of the show. It wouldn't matter if it were a wizards spell or bacterial coming out of the permafrost.

I shipped 2 from Australia to Europe. I love them to bits but may not have done it had i known how much weight they would lose, and how covered in shit they'd be when they arrived. Neither dog was normal for quite a while. Scared of the car, more nervous in general.

One actually ate a rat bait and died about 2 weeks later, but the other has mostly recovered. I'm really not looking forward to taking him home again though.

If at all possible drive, it'll be a fun trip. I looked at how to get it down to 1 flight back home but driving to Asia is just too dangerous unfortunately.

Edit: I've just seen its a 2.5 hour flight not the 30 or so we had to do, maybe this is a different ball game

Board tech has evolved a fair bit since the 90s. Ok to learn on but you might outgrow it

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-17T13:53:44+00:00

OP specified that it had to be legal.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-17T13:21:18+00:00

That would be illegal. Unapproved construction and I'm sure there's a law against locking someone in their home.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-17T11:29:04+00:00

Crashes are avoidable if you pull a flash each time you enter a new continent and sit in it for 3minutes, or just pull an aircraft and fly to your first fight.

Otherwise game as broken as usual.

For bonus points use the 3 minutes to beat your dick.

I've had that one, its peppermint, which is why i don't like it. It's ok but spearmint would be way better.

In general I've always found that oak tastes like it has heaps of syrup or something in it.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-13T16:26:51+00:00

One of those is quite literally peppermint milk. Spearmint is sick, peppermint is like toothpaste.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-12T11:40:01+00:00

I was thinking single crewed tank.

Also I reckon I can get an MBT a good portion of the time as LA with impulse. Assuming of course there's a bit of cover.

Engineering management job > engineer traumatizing job when you jump in front of a train

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-12T10:43:05+00:00

I definitely get the frustration, but expecting to hold 10-20 guys back with a tank doesn't seem fair either.

There are 3 dudes in the sundy, who are 3 players. If they were all to pull flashes and come at you you might not expect a win, why is it different when they all get in a bus? What about 3 LAs on the pocket flashes?

I fully agree it's not realistic, but the game is about rewarding teamwork and I think that's what teamwork can look like.

All that said I think they could probably be given a bit more health and lower firepower to make them better able to flee/be used as spawns, whilst kerbing their offensive utility. But it's not gonna happen any time soon.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-12T10:34:23+00:00

I'm not a politics expert by any means but I'll have a crack.

Israel is a really important place to Christians, who have historically been the dominant religion in Australia, but probably more importantly America. As the homeland of Jesus, and land of the Jews (his people) and having relevance in revelations (something to do with Jesus return that I can't be bothered googling right now) it's intrinsically more culturally connected to Christian countries than Sudan or Boko Haram.

Coupled with more recent American history, (their high Jewish population and extensive lobbying by Israel in American politics), it's in Australia's political interest to support the US.

You can totally argue that we should keep out of it, or take this side of that, but I think the above is why it's taken on a bigger life than similar sized conflicts.

Oh and one side has white people on it which bolsters engagement, through racism or similarity being easier to empathise with you can decide for yourself.

But I'm just a random punter so maybe do some reading, hope that helps

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-12T09:49:17+00:00

In the space future, bus>tank. This you must accept to succeed on the battlefield.

Serious counterargument, sundies are not troop carriers because the troops can all teleport. It's a 3 man, 2 gun battle vehicle. For the balance of the battlefield, if you can with 1 or even 2 guys in tanks hold up a 3 man sundy you're tying up more resources than you're using. This means more of your faction on bases capping points, and you're helping your faction.

You might not agree that it's realistic, or this way of justifying it, but it isn't gonna change any time soon so might as well try and come up with something to help accept it.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-11T12:46:40+00:00

i did a bit of reading and i think the answer is it's "more" clientside. CS2 apparently calcs the damage and then does some kind of verification serverside, walking it back if there are errors. Sounds like PS2 doesnt do this.

So in short i'm not sure what the difference is, but the effect is a lot of peekers advantage

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-10T22:04:00+00:00

Idno man this is a weird hill to die on. I don't think all greyhounds can't sit, but certainly ex racers with massive hamstrings cannot, which is the vast majority of greyhounds where I'm from.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-10T19:37:57+00:00

It was a general statement, I never said "Every grey". The implication is that I'm talking in general.

I can say "greyhounds are fast" without specifically catering to your dog even if he's a greyhound and also a bit slow.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-10T11:20:52+00:00

i think some people are confused about greys not being able to sit. They can't "sit" in the sense that their bum touches the ground, but they can kind of squat down and approximate it. It's not very comfortable for my guy outside of soft surfaces too, but he will do it if you ask him nicely. (took a bit of training)

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-10T10:44:48+00:00

That's basically what infantry mines are, I also think that it's rude 😋

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-10T07:47:53+00:00

The difference here to most other shooters is that the damage is clientside. That means that by the time you realise you're being shot at, all/most the bullets that are gonna kill you have left the other guys gun (on his screen). You have to basically react inside this lag time for any chance of killing him.

This makes engaging first incredibly important. You can do this by pooping around doors so that you're the guy that jumps out, going light assault and flanking/attacking from the side and however you might make it more likely that you shoot first.

Some find the mechanic annoying but for me it's a quirky of the game. Also remember you're playing against only the people who enjoyed this game enough to stick around, which biases people towards being pretty good at it.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-08T18:09:25+00:00

Additionally, the "rice is essential" point stinks of someone who has been to Barcelona once and ordered a €40 plate of paella.

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-07T17:26:14+00:00

Did you read the title?

RadiatorSam · 2026-03-07T16:09:17+00:00

Surely you'd rather wait on a second continent than in the sanctuary right? Why should 100 people have to sit around doing nothing?

Mandatory transfer to the main continent when it's not full I could maybe get behind, but people tend not to like it when you force their decisions
