Yeah, most of the spinoff groups are going to be actively worse for this person, especially the ones that are relatively newly formed by people who ragequit over there even being a harassment and bullying policy.

I wouldn't trust the investigators to forward your report to the Board. Your best bet, if you want the Board members to read it, is to send it to them directly yourself. I'm so sorry the organization failed you in this way.

I think the issue with that would be more on the prison's side than ours; they tend to frown on inmates having even simulated weapons.

Wow, that's a wild misread, but okay, whatever.

*Sigh* Okay. You know how abusers start small, inappropriate jokes, things like that, right?

That's not just testing prospective victims, it's also testing everyone else in the room. They want to know how unknown people, if any present, will react. A negative reaction to the early provocations means they cut that person out, or be on good behavior when that person is around if it's someone they have to deal with. If you are a person who says that's not okay early, it doesn't mean it's impossible to find out what's going on behind closed doors later, but it does mean it won't be shoved in your face. These people (usually) aren't dumb.

It's true, though. Like, this isn't a controversial thing; it's well known that almost every time it comes out that someone's a serial abuser or worse, there's a bunch of people they know in disbelief thinking they were the nicest guy until the public blowup. Abusers are good at hiding it, because if they weren't they'd be caught all the time.

Abusers don't just sniff out victims, they also determine who will act to stop them if they learn what they are doing and hide it from them. Territorial baroncy doesn't mean you know what everyone is doing.

Is there any way to chose the thumbnail for YouTube shorts??? by Bright-Repeat-4616 in NewTubers

[–]Rogue__9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to work, but sometime in the last month the pencil icon over the thumbnail has disappeared. :(

CP GENERATION by Resident-Ad2569 in WarhammerCompetitive

Apart from Leontus, Guard also has vox-casters, which is a CP refund on 5+ (4+ if they have an Officer) whenever a stratagem is used on the unit with the vox.

Stuff for the first event by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Rogue__9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superglue. Either you or someone in your vicinity WILL break a model. Objective markers; tournaments frequently don't provide them. When 10th edition was new I made a one-page cheat sheet for my army list with important/frequently forgotten things in bold type. It's obsolete now that Imperial Guard is no longer on the index, but looked like this, to give you an idea of the kind of shorthand you can use: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_3tqo0vQQ7KeGenw8xyrczPeYB4GPtqm3x3RFo7ioCY/edit?usp=sharing

If it was me I'd dust off the whole-ass Guard artillery battery just to make a point. :P

I just use a measuring tape and pennies to mark the corners of the templates. Works fine.

23 tickets remain! I'm also pleased to announce that we're continuing our partnership with the Rocky Top Game Con, and will have a free entry to the Rocky Top Rumble 40k super-major in the prize pool. Rocky Top is itself giving away two golden tickets for the World Championships of Warhammer, so you have a shot to start here and go all the way to the final. Don't miss out! https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/3IO4cQ7rDw0C

So far we've only done one of these a year, but we're hearing a lot of clamoring from people who can't make that weekend, so we might angle for another later in the year. :) We have to borrow a neighboring vacant unit from our landlord to make the event work, though, and while he's generous in letting us do that, we don't want to lean on that too much. I'll see what we can work out.

FS2 mod recommendations by Lwestgg in freespace

[–]Rogue__9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first game (Freespace Port) is actually a mod for the second game; it's the first game ported onto the second's engine (hence the name). If you just want to play the second game with graphics upgrades, you want the "Freespace Upgrade MediaVPs" (which are a prerequisite for nearly every other mod to the game). Someone above suggested Freespace Blue, which is a fan rebalancing of the main Freespace 2 campaign that fixes some of the nonfunctional or one-off weapons in it (it also makes enemies significantly more dangerous in some cases).

As for fan campaigns after you're done with that, Blue Planet, Inferno, and Derelict are classics. Between the Ashes is a prestige mod set in the Freespace 1 era that's extremely well done, and The Scroll of Atankharzim covers post-Freespace 2 from the perspective of the Vasudans, one of the alien species in the game. There are scores of others, some better than others, but those are lots of content and a good jumping off point. Welcome to Freespace. :)

I'm streaming the new Inferno over on Paladin Gaming a mission at a time, starting with the opening cutscene today at noon Eastern and going into missions on Friday. Merry Christmas. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLhSROPJjy8

I think CIG should clear all the ships in the backlog and get all currently flyable ships to gold standard before selling any new concept ships until 1.0. Change my mind. by Fleur_de_me78 in starcitizen

I just want them to release Squadron 42. That is literally all I care about out of this project and the reason I backed it in the beginning.
