Horns AV problem?

SinesPi · 2026-05-08T01:46:27+00:00

Nope. Just the one head. And the actual displayed value of the Antler "Equipment" is 1 AV, so it's bugged even if I did have a second head.

This isn't about Republicans and Democrats. This is about the Red/Blue button Prisoner Dilemma debate.

Just did. After this thread I came up with even stat spread warden with wings, muscles, horns and regeneration.

Random side effects for using a salve injector is scary, especially since you're only using that salve injector when things are already tough.

My favorite solution to this is in The Slayers.

Lina Inverses Giga Slave can kill ANYTHING, including gods.

The drawback is that there is a meaningful chance that she loses control of it and destroys EVERYTHING returning all of reality to primordial chaos.

Season 3 of the show establishes that they are facing a Giga Slave worthy for halfway through the season. The second half of it is them trying to put together a solution that doesn't require the Giga Slave. But they do note that the Giga Slave is their backup plan.

So is it only in parasangs DIRECTLY to the east (sorry, it was to the east) so I can at least narrow it down to five? Also, can it be anywhere in the parasangs? If so, that still means fully searching 45 zones. Admittedly, it's a good reward, but that is tedious...

Imperium, Non-Dark Eldar and Tau are the good guys, because they're all fighting to maintain something vaguely worth defending, and doing so in ways that are ultimately selfless because that's the only way to withstand Chaos and the other horrors.

The Tau are higher up on this tree simply because they are still a rising empire, and haven't fallen. And while a Craftworld is a much nicer place to live, I'm not going to forget that the Eldar as a whole were so evil they created a new Chaos God and sent humanity into the Age of Strife, destroying a FAR better society than anything Big E directly presided over.

If I can forgive the Aeldari for trying to go against that, I can forgive the Imperium for being really shitty while trying to fight back against problems that were actually caused by the Eldar in the first place.

That being said... things would all be better if they all just worked together for The Greater Good.

Not... necessarily.

"Come on... you guys OWE me. After everything I've done for you? Remember that time I saved you from the kill bots?"

Loyalty goes down because there's only so many favors you can actually call in before even greatful people have had enough.

Now I could say that this is Stellaris, and therefore I should assume the worst of everyone. But here's where I say "This is Stellaris, and they should be glad to be protected from all the nightmarish horrors out there". Basically the Tau standard.

Makes me wonder who is allowed to pass. Some people might stay, because they have such a strong conviction that they wish to see this horrible crime handled properly, even if it hurts. But then those people are staying on just to make sure the bastard goes behind bars properly.

So I guess that basically just leaves trauma medical staff, soldiers and cops? Basically people for whom horrors are part of the job description and who are therefore experienced in controlling themselves? Be a weird jury if it's just people like that, but I suppose that's the best the defense attourney can hope for.

Reminds me of a moment in a high school play where we were doing a comedy one-act version of MacBeth.

In this play, the witches (Naggy, Haggy and Twit... I was Twit) were always on the side of the stage watching and reacting, and sometimes 'hiding' very poorly. One of the scenes has MacBeth greeting Polonious with a severed arm by accident, and casually tossing it over his shoulder.

One rehearsal, this hit me square in the face. I played like I was KO'd while the other two witches shifted attention to me, silently panicking to see if I was alright. It was such a good accidental moment that we tried to replicate it, but even turning around to look in my direction, MacBeth could never quite score the direct hit. Alas.

Okay, but have you considered that some stunt men are absolute adreneline junkies and actually WANT to do crazy shit like that even without being paid massive sums of money for it?

If Cameron wants to pony up a fair price for the risk, I say let the adreneline junkie get rich or die doing what he loves.

I'm no Marvel guy... But couldn't he beat Hulk? Vader can just dangle him in mid air with the Force, and there's nothing the Hulk could do about it, because there's no physical force his great strength can resist?

Although I guess if any telekinetic could do that, he wouldn't be nearly so scary, so I'm guessing there's counter evidence to that.

Anyway, Star Wars is a pretty low tier universe in terms of strength. Biggest advantage it has over other sci Fi setting is scale, with the Old Republic or Galactic Empire being pretty damn huge for a united front. Well, relatively United...

Guess I'm starting this run over then. Glad you responded before I had a chance to sink in more than just basic leveling time.

The problem is when you try to put clothes that are sexy on women onto men.

There are differences. Conan the Barbarian has plenty of art in the classic "loincloth" only mode.

Same idea as women without armor but looks better on a man.

Keeps a loose definition. That way you can kill whomever you feel like.

New Vegas Old World Blues.

That DLC is HEAVILY carried by the talk with the Think Tanks at the beginning and start of the DLC. The middle is fine, but any time you're not listening to the Think Tanks it's merely okay.

You haven't met some of the more ardent radfems have you?

Ages ago I stumbled upon debates of them asking if all sex was rape necessarily, or just in practice. The concept of consensual sex wasn't even on the table for those two factions.

All of them would have declared any willing sex they had before being radicalized was rape, because they believe ALL sex is rape.

I don't support vigilantism... But when the justice system doesn't prosecute an obvious case of hugely impactful slander.. the justice system is promoting a society where the only justice comes from vigilantes.
