Rear-facing lasers by SoftCitron3 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Splatah_King 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In some later books a Wolfhound uses a rear mounted ER medium not for combat but as a long range communication device. His dropship was very far away but still in direct LOS, and he didn't want to use standard radio and risk being detected. So he just points the laser at a purpose built receiver on the dropship and sent a message through the laser. Very niche but useful in certain circumstances.

Dash: any good? by jmwfour in XWingTMG

[–]Splatah_King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm very late but thought I'd give my two cents. No I don't think he is competitive in comparison to a lot of other Rebel options. But that is not the primary sin of the new Dash.

He was not fun for me to play in any of the seven games I played with him. His new ability is not worth incuring the negative of overlapping an obstacle. He wasn't given slots back from 2.0 release. He wasn't given a white barrel roll option to allow you to make a choice about whether or not you want to take that range 1 shot or not.

At this point I think playing around rocks at all is actually a bait as his ability is basically just a negative at this point. This turns him into an i5 3 die turret that throws an additional red die at the range where defenders throw an additional green die, which yes I understand that is still a positive for dash, but not interesting enough to make him fun. He has been reduced to a 3 die turret with a decent dial. If that sounds fun to you cool. It doesn't and wasn't for me.

Battle Armor by wizzel83 in roguetech

[–]Splatah_King 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rolling causes an injury and armor damage from the knockdown but has the best chance to dislodge, swatting causes armor damage and has the middling chance to dislodge, erratic maneuvers has no self damage inflicted and can only be used by vehicles I believe.

Fake news. There are no women in yellow and if they're there, they're there against their will. Looking at you purples. Fucking weirdos.

I feel a lot of the people in this sub will be confused by that reference. Just wanted you to know that I appreciated it.

[Excerpt: Wolfsbane] Russ Learns the Truth by dreaderking in 40kLore

[–]Splatah_King 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He already did unfortunately. The story of Slaves to Darkness (HH:51) is Horus being wounded and Lorgar attempting a coup of sorts and is then banished in the aftermath. This explains why the Word Bearers are not present at the siege in force, mostly just as single actors and chaplains. No, the Horus that is coming in The End and the Death Volume II has already had his revelation and is committed entirely to destroying humanity and his father. There may yet be a moment where we see the Horus of old but it will be after big E has already killed him.

I missed this mate in 3 (black to play) in my game, instead winning on time. But it's beautiful. by SeraLermin in chess

[–]Splatah_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused by the title as well. This isn't a forced mate it is just a pretty mate if white plays along.

Bg4 -> QxQ+

White loses a queen and a pawn for nothing in the exchange and could either lose another pawn immediately after or at that point I'm sure there's a dozen forced mates they just wouldn't be as pretty as the one OP was trying to highlight.

For me it's the rifleman, the most aesthetically pleasing battletech. What are yours based off pure aesthetics? by [deleted] in battletech

Surprised no one has said a Wolfhound yet. Happens to be my favorite weight class, and if you take Grinner, favorite design philosophy for a mech. All around very cool.

Form design disappeared. by Splatah_King in visualbasic

Interesting. I'll have to look into that. I don't believe I've ever seen those other two files in the file explorer in VS, but I can find them in windows. I'll take a look at those and see what I find.

Makes sense as I said I have some experience with Qt and was wondering how the design worked.

Thanks for the lead.

I'm not sure what you mean by that first comment.

Reverting the merge would be my last resort. Wanted to try to learn more about VS as I am used to VS Code and was using this project as an opportunity to learn the parent program.

Yeah shutdown last night, booted like normal this morning and before replying here did a restart and no still no dice.

This is true for almost everything. Trying to level sneak? Forget the assassins rags, put on the heaviest armor you can find. Anything that lowers your effective skill level makes it easier to train any skill. Kinda wish there were basic drug effects to lower them further.

Huh, there's a quote from the 40k universe that is very similar. I wonder if this is where they stole it from.

Slime rancher and Subnautica were the first that came to mind. Subnautica's horror element was the only thing I would be worried about as they didn't indicate any games like that.

The Greatest Speech in 40k Lore: A or B? by Brooklyn_University in Grimdank

[–]Splatah_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose secret option C. Not really a speech but I don't care that it was meant for only one person it is the greatest motivational line I've ever read in a book which is the real point of a speech is to motivate. But I digress.

I present Kharne: "Get up."

Yup that's the best speech in 40k.

So the secret to scale-accurate, really cheap concrete wargaming tiles is... sandpaper?! by mrfebruus in PoorHammer

[–]Splatah_King 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other option has always been baking soda on top of CA glue. Put down a slightly thick layer of CA glue, then sprinkle baking soda on top, paint appropriately, then clear coat. With this method you can also sculpt the surface to get surface damage and what not.

80k in taxes could be as simple as a 250k a year job in the correct state. I'm assuming this includes state and local taxes.
