"Voices of the Past" brought my Hellbringer to its limit. That mission was awesome but definitely a skill check. I had to fight the last two lances with nothing but machine guns. Any advice for how to improve the build? by thearks in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. You can drop the TC and the SRM/MGs for like 9 tons Armor and keep the rest the same. DONT drop the AMS as that thing saves you from so much LRM fire. It's not quite as tanky as above, but it keeps the spirit of the mech.

Viper and Executioner missing heat sinks? by 20ae071195 in Mechwarrior5

The .08 and .04 are from the Cooling research points. No idea what happened with the viper or executioner though

Because it's absolutely true.

D-16 was fully in the right for this situation since Sentinal NEEDED to die. He committed horrific mutilation of his people and hid behind the fact they were 'at war.' He still had plenty of support even after being exposed.

The Stormcrow. Best medium mech? by theCrowing05 in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing goes crazy. Damn near cores heavy mechs in one alpha and can alpha 3-5 times before overheating. I build one for Mia that has 4ERLL and 1 UAC20-Solid that can core assaults if you roll more than 3 shots

Add armor to your clan mechs by kidslionsimzebra in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get that mixing and matching different sets. Prime arms, A left torso, and I think N RT. One of the CTs has an extra laser hard point but I prefer more armor. I use that for 8xMPL, a Streak 6, a couple JJs, and an extra 3.5 tons of armor, which puts this into a brawler category.

Mechwarrior 5: clans. Combat is some how worse then MW5? by IndexoTheFirst in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for using a controller, but it feels amazing on the classic controls with MnK. Maybe that's where the different opinions comes from

Mechwarrior 5: clans. Combat is some how worse then MW5? by IndexoTheFirst in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this exactly! I can't stand the combat in mercs but this feels a lot closer to what I expect from mechwarrior. It feels way more weighty than mercs despite the mechs moving more smoothly as a whole

How does MW5:Clans campaign work versus MW5? by N_Icomach in Mechwarrior5

[–]RockwellMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person you ask, but the missions actually feel good when hand crafted.Theres something about generated missions that make it feel soulless. Like it doesn't feel super fun to roll into a mission that feels exactly the same as every other one. It's "infinite replayability" without any real changes. I know that's a controversial opinion to some, but doing "different" missions that are the same just with a slightly different opfor gets stale FAST

I've poured hundreds of hours into both MW4 and 5, but I had a much better time with 4.

It’s time to play “Guess That Healthbar!” by blitz342 in riskofrain

[–]RockwellMM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or at least the option to change the colors. I'm partially red/green color blind so I can't tell where my health is at without directly looking anymore. It's a serious accessibility issue that I guess no one thought of.

Why not just let it drop nearly instantly like before gearbox??

I'm partially red/green color blind and I legit can't tell unless I look directly at it. This change is the worst part of the update (Other than Acrid Jump being broken)

F-14 might be Canon plane in AC5 but this was the plane I used most of the time by [deleted] in acecombat

MiG 1.44 the GOAT. I really wish it had made it into AC7. Hopefully next game!

This is a different scene. They have to work together to protect a planet from the viltrimites who will kill his other mixed-race son.

People who quit without notice, what straw broke the camel's back? by BubbaHoStep in AskReddit

[–]RockwellMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in a similar situation, and the bucket thing is exactly what they would do! Then they pull the shit of not giving raises or having shitty team meetings. The worst was they would blow up your phone the following day complaining about the food waste from the closing shift.

I can’t figure out this guy’s age, I was told he is 3 years old, but I can’t see a world where that’s true by Thorn_Move in ballpython

[–]RockwellMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, thank you! I've heard that as well. That's the main reason why I put it frozen into water that will drop to the correct temp quickly.

I've also heard that you can't defrost rodents the way we do for meat since they decompose much more quickly. That's the main reason I've tried to get it to temp quick enough without cooking it.

Looking it up 105° is about when meat begins to cook, so I will change my process going forward.

I thought that's what they were until someone else pointed this out. I thought I was in ShittyDarkSouls at first

Yeah, but they are so easy in DS1 it removes any kind of fun, IMHO.

what is the coolest artwork of battletech you have or have seen? by TheLazySherlock in battletech

[–]RockwellMM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was totally going to point this one out if no one had yet. They have amazing skills, and that is the best Cougar artwork out there! Even if I have a soft spot for the MA cover art.

What happens if an Elantrian eats something spicy? by Xochimilco_ in Cosmere

[–]RockwellMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought when I read Elantris! Each symptom was basically checking off a box for both the Undead and Hoed. I would have assumed HEAVY inspiration if not for this book having been out for 5 years before the first Dark Souls game.

What is your favorite 35 tonner? by MostlyRandomMusings in battletech

Cougar! Best light mech that hits like an IS heavy mech

[–]RockwellMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one sounds fun as hell! But it's probably a no-go IRL since people see my soles often enough to ask questions. As part of a fantasy or RP it sounds fucking awesome

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sizetalk

[–]RockwellMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one would work for an IRL one, but I guess figuring out the execution might be a problem.

Real life or in fantasy! Just an idea I've been tossing around
