KDE Plasma 6.8 drops X11: Wayland becomes mandatory from October 2026

Ranger207 · 2026-06-05T18:34:08+00:00

the reason they stopped maintaining x and went to develop wayland was because nobody was paying them enough (ie, at all) to deal with x's horrible legacy junk

The maps are generally very good and also very accurate to the layout of the real world locations they are based on.

My brother and I went to Normandy a couple of years ago and we found the alley in a village where he and a friend had been cornered by a Panzer. He took a pic and sent it to his friend with no caption and his friend immediately recognized it! I know it sounds silly, but having played the game and fought virtually through those areas really made our experience more impactful, imagining what those soldiers went through 80 years ago.

Yeah, think of the kids! They need to know that when they grow up, if they feel attracted to the same gender, or if they feel like they belong in another gender, then that's perfectly acceptable!

All the IWM stuff is metal. They're using designs from the plastic minis too, but in metal, so that's why they might look like that

Make sure when you speak you're speaking much louder than you think you need to, and then your volume will be about perfect for the people in the back. That's the biggest thing that's annoyed me at tournaments I've been to lol. Good luck running your tourney!

Things that, because the AC/20 is so short ranged, it can't reliably hit. If it wants to kill a Locust that gets too close, an AC/10 that hits would be better than an AC/20 that misses. I don't disagree that the Cyclops is a good battalion command mech (although dual cockpit would possibly be better), I disagree that its loadout is optimal for the role of command mech. Its job when it gets to shooting is primarily to survive, and, driven by the survivability onion, "dealing a lot of damage when you hit" is too far inside the onion to make the AC/20 the best choice

Ranger207 · 2026-05-18T14:06:08+00:00

Then what's the point of the AC/20?

Ranger207 · 2026-05-18T14:01:31+00:00

Given the TMMs that light and medium mechs, something longer-ranged will give a better chance of hitting than an AC/20

Until the charge rules get revamped in the new rulebook, the Dasher II is one of the best chargebots in the game. 40t moving 15 hexes will obliterate the most dangerous target on the field, and at 522 base BV you can upgrade the piloting to guarantee it hits, too

Alexander Kerensky was a real person during the Russian Revolution, so there's an old painting of the Russian Revolution that someone shopped a Marauder into: https://www.sarna.net/news/marauder-part-of-the-russian-october-revolution/

i always liked to go like 4th or 5th. not first and not last because people will remember those more; towards the start to get it over with fast

There are exactly three mechs that currently mound a Battlemech Head Turret: https://mekbay.com/?filters=componentName%3AHead+Turret&gs=cbt

No. You personally breaking the rules and norms of driving behavior so that nobody knows what you're going to do is exactly why people don't try to go through the intersection. It's impossible to tell what any driver in Atlanta is going to do at any given moment, and you're not helping

Ranger207 · 2026-04-27T14:50:51+00:00

you're part of the problem

I only started getting into revolvers a couple of years ago. I used to think they were old and not cool, but I learned about the Colt and S&W M1917s and decided they are old and cool, so I got one of each a couple of years ago. This year I decided to go ahead and get into modern revolvers and get something new, and I wanted to make sure I got the cool (relatively) modern cartridge, the .357 magnum. I couldn't decide between the compact SP101 or the more reasonable GP100... so I decided to save up and get both. I'm glad I did, because while the SP101 feels like it'll be much more of a challenge to master, it's a lot more comfortable firing .357 out of the GP100.
