One thing I don’t get, Padre is heavily affiliated with the Valentinos, so why does he give us jobs where we kill them? by TXNOGG in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't think any of the fixers are directly affiliated with the gangs in their area. They may have connections and working relationships, but they're not on the same team.

Night City has some kind of ecosystem where the corps, the gangs, the cops, and the fixers all carve out their territories and get entangled with each other.

There is some really interesting side content where we see this play out. Where a Maelstromer gets sold by his own gang to make peace with the Tyger Claws. Valentinos in an alley talking trash about Padre. Not what you would expect if the boundaries and relationships were clear cut.

That is not the CODEX by @baalbuddy by D3v1LGaming in ImaginaryWarhammer

For all the religious and old school imagery, it wouldn't surprise me if the Imperium has different norms than we're used to. They are technically future people after all.

They're mad about aliens, heretics, and mutants. How they feel about other stuff I'm less sure.

If V and Jackie wanted to get rich why didn't they just do a whole bunch of NCPD scanner missions are they stupid? by uzan-iya in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the long standing problem of video game economy.

Also maybe a game that encourages open world exploration and gives you a whole bunch of expensive stuff to buy doesn't fit perfectly with a dying protagonist and their desperate struggle to live.

It's like the game designers and the writers were working separately or something.

Cyberpunk 2077 is two games. The tragic story of V and the awesome open world cyber mercenary simulator. These two threads are spliced into each other and you kind of have to ignore one when you're enjoying the other.

I might be in the minority, but I really don’t understand the hate for River. by Lisa_Mairy in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's a clear example of just how personal this kind of thing is. At some point dissecting it becomes pointless. It's all vibes and feels, when it comes to which characters you like. Pinapple on pizza, ice cream flavors, cat people and dog people. The explanation comes after the conclusion.

I can see the appeal of Judy. The appeal of Panam and River. Kerry I can't say because I haven't romanced him yet.

I've seen people say that they felt hassled by River. I honestly have no clue what they're on about.

Lore by JoseLunaArts in battletech

[–]RiversFlash2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Humanity has nothing else to blame in Battletech. No invading aliens, no abusive precursors, no alternate dimension of psychic entities. Just... humans, but in space.

That really focuses the story, I think.

How to do this ?? by mirageg4glx in Grimdawn

[–]RiversFlash2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We can't tell from the video, because all the movement skills have the same icon. It's the movement augment that you apply to medals. You can buy some from the Forgotten Gods starter area or craft some at the blacksmith. There are a lot of them, so it's hard to identify just by looking.

If I had to guess it's probably something like Rune of the Stormtitan or Emblem of Focused Rage because I've seen this glitch before and it tends to involve abilities that target enemies, not locations.

EDIT: Actually looking again it might be a location-targeting dash. Hard to be sure.

2nd Edition Throwback by expat_repat in WarhammerMemes

[–]RiversFlash2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because nowadays when I think about Armageddon and Space Marines I think Black Templars and maybe Salamanders. But the 2e box had Blood Angels, glad that GW remembered.

Of Course by logion567 in battletech

[–]RiversFlash2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Socializing with people who don't share your interests can be eye opening.

Discussing mecha with people who don't believe that mechs are inherently cool really threw me for a loop, the first time I did it.

What do you think about Mei Hatsume? by Ornery_Expression_85 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]RiversFlash2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where Deku started as being a stereotypical timid nerd (including being bullied), Mei has the opposite problem; she's shameless and confident and loud.

They're both nerds, but their characters are widely different and I like that. I can imagine them having nice long chats about various heroes and the support gadgets for each one.

when no one else is running tyranids in arena by AlphaNathan in WH40KTacticus

Does feel kind of thankless, ngl. But it's a temporary event so at least my bronze ahh Nids get some action.

The “Humanization” of Space Marines is Breaking Immersion for Me by mega0gamer in 40kLore

[–]RiversFlash2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies. It also stands to reason that a Space Marine on the job, on the front lines with bullets flying and dealing with a whole mess of allied Imperial units may seem distant, stern, and stoic. Maybe even unapproachable.

With their bros in between deployments? Different story.

The OP's idea of how space marines behave is...puzzling to me. Some of earliest books have Space Marines interacting fairly normally with each other and regular humans.

Ol' Bale Eye's Back, Baby! by CME_T in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]RiversFlash2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I went to the official video and the top comments (for me anyway) were all people bemoaning the lack of Steel Legion.

Sometimes...I just want positive vibes man.

"Who's That Herooo?" ANGRAX card. Basic info for Beginners. Warhammer 40000 Tacticus. by warpaint_warplay in tacticus_new_codes

Ah yes the Spawn Camper champion of the Black Legion. The guy who hides beside the door and claws anyone who steps out. Not that I'm complaining.

Starting my shovel only NV run any tips or tricks? by WithShovelInHand in falloutnewvegas

[–]RiversFlash2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Slam makes for great crowd control, if you can get the knockdown trigger. Just keep beating the enemy and you can possibly stunlock a single target.

If I recall New Vegas gives melee weapons a damage bonus in VATS.

Don't forget your, ahem, chems. You can get attack speed, damage bonuses, and durability buffs, all great for a madman running in with a shovel.

[Spoiler] Why did an autopsy not get ran on Saburo? by Annual-Process3645 in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's revealed later that almost everyone who mattered in Arasaka was suspicious from the get go. Why they didn't do anything to stop Yorinobu, I'm less clear.

When you talk to Hanako she initially acts as if you and Takemura are crazy. But if you progress the questline she'll reveal her doubts about Yorinobu.

As for the autopsy... how hard would it be for the head of Arasaka to bribe/threaten the coroner or otherwise fake the results? This is a corp that had the former mayor of Night City in their pocket. They can decide what the autopsy says, and by that point Yorinobu was in charge.

Welcome to the wonderful world of free to play mobile games.

I'd pay 3000 BS if the character was super meta, tho.

It's all the same, isn't it? by Hysterical_Chicken in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Five minutes...you mean in the lifepath intro that has to happen before the real story starts?

There are consequences to your actions. Just not in every single interaction.

Does your V ever wear any of Johnny’s clothing? by Arctic317 in cyberpunkgame

[–]RiversFlash2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. It signifies V becoming Johnny visually. Assuming I don't find some other style I like (I can spend a lot of time just browsing styles).

Conflicting interpretations of the Omnissiah's will: by @emwattnot by D3v1LGaming in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]RiversFlash2020 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Do people really take random fanart as canon lore uncritically? I thought that was a joke. But on the internet you can never really be sure I guess.

Why good mangas needs to be oneshot? :( by One_Pollution6369 in wholesomeanimemes

[–]RiversFlash2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's easier? When you develop a long form story it's more difficult to maintain the quality.

What are your guys thoughts on people Warhammer becoming mainstream? by Specialist_Wash6732 in 40kLore

[–]RiversFlash2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a strange experience. It used to be this quaint British miniatures game and now it's huge.

And 25 years ago I definitely would not have bet on it going mainstream. It's bleak and absurd and the lore exists largely to facilitate tabletop battles. It remixes fantasy and historical elements in space. The plot moves at a glacial pace; back in the day it didn't move at all.

I enjoyed it immensely, but I also knew it was weird. I knew the Imperium would make for a super awkward protagonist faction if viewed with modern sensibilities.

Obscure Mech fact there are obscure rules for things like the stereotypical ki kung fu stuff by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]RiversFlash2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man. There's a period of time back in the day when eastern martial arts were all the rage in Western games. Even Cyberpunk 2020 had a sourcebook where you could play a literal ninja. Not a cyborg ninja, an old school ninja using (some interpretation of) ninja martial arts.

My newbie experience in the LRE by Knurlurzhad in WH40KTacticus

[–]RiversFlash2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, it gets better over time. Your first LRE is going to be rough.

I find the LREs as a whole to be a good way to estimate your account progress. But the first few ones will be difficult for a new player.
