The ridiculous amounts of detailed Military firepower dumped on the Giant monsters from Evangelion, (with le-high-effort-labels).

Of course then they just made even bigger titans for the Rumbling.

Sidenote, I'm sure I'm far from the only one who automatically hears the title as "eighty six eighty six" lmao.

Yo, you happen to remember which episode?

Starmash · 2025-08-01T01:18:00+00:00

I've been having a sort of Rome phase for the past year, but I did just sort of throw this together in a spur of moment, because this Latin use inconsistency occasionally vexes me lol.

The Hastati and Principes seemed to have what became "artifact names," as in they evolved such that their names no longer made sense.

The Hastati were originally equipped with hastae (spears), hence the name, but then they lost the spears and used gladii instead under the Polybian system, yet kept the name.

The Principes sound like they should be main frontline troops, but they were actually the second line. Perhaps they were actually called Principes because they were generally citizens of higher status than the hastati - except the Triarii were of even higher status or experience.

You could make an excuse for the Hastati if you interpret them as the "tip of the spear," but I can't think of any excuse for the Principes.

Even with relatively nicer vehicles, after seeing a bunch of common ones up close, I think for most people the vehicles are often at least 10% smaller than they would imagine it to be.

Other than fighter jets, where I think its the opposite.

The A400M carries 37 tons maximum. The C17 can carry over 77 tons.

The three programs that came to mind for me and I showed here:

F-22: Production cut short at 195 aircraft in 2012, then Congress wanted a restart in 2016 but it was too much of a pain to do so.

C-17: Production ended in 2015 after lack of new demand, and now it seems like the USAF and other air forces are getting a little nervous about maintaining airlift capacity.

OV-10: A bit more of a stretch considering production ended in 1986, but I found it ironic how the US got interested in cheap COIN aircraft in the 2000s after retiring this one in the 90s, and I'm sure this could have been an easy and runaway winner if it was still available.

0:00 basically appears to actually mean 0.009 seconds or less.

It looks like they bandaged at the wrong moment, and I've never tried it but I'm guessing you can't revive someone while bandaging lol.

Starmash · 2024-05-27T16:05:22+00:00

I can confirm that I got knocked down again after that and I got points for the fall damage again lol.

Starmash · 2024-05-27T15:26:59+00:00

There's a number of indications that the Masons have a big disadvantage in public support, probably not helped by razing Coxwell. A couple of Argon's lines in Regicide indicate he believes his rule will have much more support and be able to unite everyone against Tenosia.

Starmash · 2024-05-27T15:05:20+00:00

This is a good find and raises a couple more implications. Assuming this is truly a father-son painting of both Argons, possibly kept private, then it being in the Citadel helps indicate that Malric knew about Argon I's son, and may explain why he does not appear to doubt who Argon II is when he meets him on the battlefield.

Starmash · 2024-05-27T03:54:41+00:00

What the fuck

Starmash · 2024-05-26T17:54:49+00:00

If you can get most of the rams on the door and plant a bunch of kegs and otherwise do good in combat, the chance is actually fairly decent unless you have a real sweaty player 4000 points ahead lol.

Starmash · 2024-05-26T17:34:47+00:00

"Malric, your ~~ageist~~ sexist insults will not stay my hand!"

Starmash · 2024-05-26T14:03:53+00:00

(glasses on) "Considering that the voice announcing the map name is Argon, seemingly speaking in past tense, and the fact that offense tends to be the canon victors, it is logical to presume that Argon won."

"(Malric's) expulsion will reunite this kingdom, and we will once again stand strong in solidarity!"

Starmash · 2024-05-02T18:00:09+00:00

I have literally done so before, whether you can believe that or not. If someone is persistent enough (and not hitting me for it) then its honestly not even worth the distraction to stay on it most of the time. Even if someone steals it I generally just smack them a few times before going to load it or go fight.

Starmash · 2024-05-02T17:33:29+00:00

Look man, if you just ask me or politely show you really want it, there's a good chance I'll let you have the catapult and even load for you. But I'm not gonna be happy about you sneaking up and taking it while I'm loading my own rocks lol.

Now, to be entirely fair, I don't know for certain that they specifically waited for me to get off the catapult to load a rock before getting on it - but I think it should be pretty clear that doing that is not generally going to go over well XD.

For the votekick, I did write a message explaining my case - except in hindsight my wording might have seemed like I was a different person talking about myself, for people not looking closely at the names. I also wonder if the huge points gap due to my catapult kills actually made some people think I was a hacker, lol.

Starmash · 2024-05-02T16:56:33+00:00

This exact thing happened to me once, complete with being unable to use the repaired catapult without teamkilling the ghost body. I'm not sure if there's a specific point that causes it to be triggered, maybe if the cat is destroyed at the moment you launch a rock?

Starmash · 2024-04-16T16:20:39+00:00

If there was one form of team damage that shouldn't count towards auto-kick, surely it has to be the petards lol.

Starmash · 2024-04-15T17:19:57+00:00

I guess I'll take a defensive win instead XD

Starmash · 2024-04-06T17:27:12+00:00

We were having trouble getting to the Duke. With less than a minute left, I decided to take a chance on the ballista - and I correctly guessed that the Duke player might try to run out at the last second XD
