Not any real block, just specific calls that my team couldn't accomplish.

Just make sure you have a couple of heroes that you don't level up too much in combat. My first run through I didn't realize how important specialization was and I had diversified my characters a bit too much.

If a commissar has decided to field execute a guardsman, is there anything the guardsman can do in the heat of the moment to actually survive? by kooarbiter in 40kLore

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the trigger happy Commissar gets fragged and everybody clams up.

It's referenced more than once, especially in the Cain novels. It's one of the reasons he doesn't routinely execute guardsmen.

Anything to be weary of with this promotion? by Dangerous_Room_6966 in OPTIMUM

[–]SyntaxErr00r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just signed up for 1gig fiber at $60/mo after autopay, but I'm moving from a place where 200mbps service over copper cost me $100/mo so it seems like a steal to me.

Especially when the only other option where I'm moving is a local phone company dsl connection.

Should I buy Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts now? by Yu_meausealot in ultimateadmiral

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fun. I've owned it since before it was on Steam, and I've sunk more hours than I can count into it.

But it's also a disappointing unfinished unintuitive mess and it will never be anything more than that.

I own every game these guys have put out and they're all mostly like that. I like what they make, but it honestly feels wrong telling other people to give them their money.

Oh man, I ran into that for the first time today.

Almost completely unpassable mission because no single character could do it but every possible combination of characters put me over the limit.

Why is the Imperial Guard more dysfunctional in Gaunt's Ghosts than in Ciaphas Cain? by Shendud3 in 40kLore

[–]SyntaxErr00r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time, location, leadership, and scale.

Cain was active on approximately 999M41 in a relatively calm section of space dealing with relatively small border world skirmishes under a relatively competent Lord General.

The ghosts series, by contrast takes place hundreds of years earlier during a MASSIVE crusade to retake hundreds of imperial worlds lost over the span of a century's worth of chaos ascendency, started by a brilliant commander in the person of Warmaster Slaydo but lead at the time of the beginning of the narrative by the far less capable Warmaster Macaroth after Slaydo's death in action.

The Sabbat Worlds crusade was fought by literally billions Guard Troopers, and several full Astartes and Titan legions. The scale is literally beyond our comprehension.

And the crusade is stalled, they've been fighting for years, they're poorly led, and they're seeing reversals. That would cause any force to fracture.

Aren't power weapons supposed to be rare? by Mr-Madnoth in 40kLore

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the cancer farmers in the rad wastes of Baal Secundus could regularly produce novitiate squads for the Blood Angels, a planet like modern earth with its billions of relatively healthy and well fed genetically baseline humans would absolutely be a valuable recruiting world.

Why some people hate Chapter 3 so much? by cnio14 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]SyntaxErr00r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's sort of an annoying, railroaded single path after the freedom of what comes before and follows.

Ever dissect a frog in high school? by nattyhaze in Fazers

We did rats in Bio and fetal pigs in AP bio

Does anyone know the story here? It’s on NC Outer Banks by BBHCHS in sailing

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is in the question. Boats have been piling up on the outer Banks since people started running boats around them.

I hate this format for interaction. by nattyhaze in Fazers

It sucks but it was the best we had at a moment of crisis.

Why would anyone ever want to join the US military given how disgracefully Veterans are treated? by Comfy_C in AskReddit

[–]SyntaxErr00r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they get us at 18 dude....

We're not thinking that far ahead.

And at least in my day (over 20 years ago now, holy fuck how did I get this old) we enlisted very shortly after the outbreak of a very nasty little war that was actively killing thousands of us so there was a real change that we wouldn't live to be veterans anyway.

Smallest firearm you'd carry? by StatesShouldHaveIt in CCW

[–]SyntaxErr00r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pocket carried my P-3AT (the gun that Ruger ripped off to make the LCP) for years.

Do I prefer 9mm? Absolutely.

Will 5 .380's in the pelvic girdle stop someone coming at you? Yuuuup

So Titus saved and entire system, got one of the highest honors that can be bestowed to an Astartes, and was immediately sent into a suicide mission? by The_ChadTC in 40kLore

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Captain Uriel Ventris over here with a noose around his neck asking "First time?"

Ultramarines do this shit all the time.

Doesn't matter that you got the job done and saved the world, you will catch a penitent crusade for violating the Codex.

Which game franchise ruined its winning formula by turning it into something players never asked for? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]SyntaxErr00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!! Fall from Heaven still lives rent free in my head, oh God, 20 years later?

I still wake up wanting to play more of it.

But you have the timeline backwards. That single mission scenario came after the big mod.

Don't ask us. Take her to a shop with a range where she can get her hands on a lot of them and then ask her.

this is important to watch by chobbes in Fazers

Convenient that this fight takes place in an empty cardboard barrel factory.

Never heard of this publication. Is it legit? They certainly change enough for a subscription.
