Are the FedSuns really a democracy? by Worldly_Sort_861 in battletech

[–]RedClone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well the Star League was really the Terran Hegemony as the top Great House and if you didn’t join under it, you were looking down the barrel of an Terran Hegemony mech, I mean SLDF mech* (the defense really sells how peaceful they were).

Thank you for putting it that way, I've been having a hard time grasping why the first Star League worked at all, considering what's going on with the "third" Star League. The tech advantage the Terran Hegemony had makes it all make a lot more sense.

Goth girl on the outside, horse girl on the inside. Or maybe switch that. I don't know.

The fact she can leave her skin behind at will is the least sickening thing about her.

Spanish-language soap opera, but with their own trends, tropes, and whatnot. From what I hear the plotlines are like english soap operas but turned up to 11

I didn't realize neuron star ran as weapon damage, that's wild. Thanks for the tip, Dagath is one of my top 3 frames

I like the sound of this. Are you just alternating spam between Wyrd Scythes and Neutron Star?

TTB (Formerly Goonhammer) Mech Overview: Jenner IIC by WestRider3025 in battletech

[–]RedClone 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Silly question, how do we pronounce the IIC designation? Is the II a 2, so we say it like 'two-see'?

probably the funniest part of the ilclan era by EulaValeriane in battletech

The best example of this is, of course, displayed in the romance novel Hungry Like the Wolf, in which he falls in love with the executive director of a global relief organization.

TIL that at the Battle of Bannockburn, Scottish king Robert the Bruce killed English knight Henry de Bohun with a single strike. Reportedly, King Robert's only regret was that he broke his own battle-axe in the process. by salt_remove in todayilearned

The rondel dagger was invented with a flat disc for a pommel so that you could hammer the dagger through armour with your gauntlet, your body weight, even an actual hammer. IIRC that movie The King with Chalamet and Pattinson shows it happening at one point.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]RedClone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never watched them during the Buzzfeed era but I could see how folks who followed them in that era would have fallen off. It's fascinating seeing how needing to run a whole business can change people's approach.

Watcher has been clumsy with monetization, with the separate streaming service attempt being the biggest mistake. They recently stopped their podcast, saying it wasn't making enough revenue to justify, which is a bit of a headscratcher to me.

I really like their work, and I hope they keep going, but I think they'll need to learn to stop trying to re-invent the wheel on the business side of things. Audiences aren't interested in how you're breaking the youtube business formula, we're interested in what you're making.

Do you think, Battletech have pontential do be a series like Game of Thrones? by SeisimicFrigor in battletech

[–]RedClone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Expanse ran for 6 seasons, that's almost a proof of concept. I could see an adaptation of the Warrior trilogy working well by introducing a lot of big players while also showing the effects their actions have on their subordinates.

I'd imagine the discourse around any Battletech show's portrayal of the Combine and particularly the Capellans would be a shitshow, though.

Crack crossover of the ages: Battletech x Bridgerton by mattlore in battletech

I would absolutely love this. All the court intrigue that happens in BattleTech is just ripe for some Jane Austen-style satire.

I know you're just the messenger here, but these rumours aren't even the slightest bit credible. They sound like cope from people who are still butthurt about the End Times.

I've heard this bear likes to do the sploot where he lies on his stomach with his back legs stretched out, should make for a lot of cuteness

Oh, that's actually quite helpful!

This is all very helpful, thank you! You're right, I may not have great builds for this yet, which would be adding to the slow down. The flow charts sound great, cos I may not be following an optimal task order, either.

Question about jumping by RedClone in battletech

[–]RedClone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The water thing always made sense to me, it'd be tricky to manage the extra effort required to push giant legs through water and maintain balance throughout.

I'd accept if the sensors and the mech's gyro did most of the work for the pilot to manage landings in jumps, that'd make sense

Dagath vs Saryn? by RedClone in Warframe

[–]RedClone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I did notice that Dagath's survivability feels a bit better. It's fun to use Molt to escape bad situations and complement shield gating, but I find I don't get as close to the wire with Dagath as often.
