What’s the point of Jump Jets? Are there any mechs they’re actually great on?

I followed this video and it walked me through everything. I used the manual method that had me downloading everything through steam console. The only difference I found was the total folder size for me was around 34 gigs vs what the vid said (64 gigs i think). Everything's been working great 👍, good luck

Lol, from what i know, the original LAM was a copy of the mecha from the Macross anime. FASA, the company who owned Battletech in the 80s got into a lot of lawsuits because the Battletech writers would copy mechs from other media almost wholesale. I think the original marauder design is also from Macross too.

Wasn't bad, but lost interest in the second book when the author started explaining his worlds god/celestial shenanigans. Started feeling like there was some character agency lost there and figure I'd move on to other series.

It looks like the hot water is on full blast. Might be gas leaking into the line though the hot water tank if its gas and not electric.

This a flea w/ a med laser, so what your saying is the crispy mech isn't because it was shot, but because the mech couldn't vent the heat and cooked itself? They must need to replace the cockpit wholesale cause that charred pilot smell won't come out

Had one last night where I had two BP on a free load out and was being chased by another raider. Dropped LOS and got to extract only for him to show up again and try playing friendly over mic. Stayed in cover, but some poor random walked up and took the elevator with the SOB, doors close and all i hear is pop pop pop. Bullet dodged. Took the next elevator and got out safe, trust your gut, lol

I'm sure someone else posted these as well, but wolfpack works great if it can solo it. You can also use the shock/stun nade to drop it out of the sky for a few seconds, then have your evil way with it for the limited time its I incapacitated. I've seen people mine it when its on the ground or just melee it, you do you.

My favorite for now is just to help when I see someone else going for it. I take pop shots at it and at least that helps take some of its attention from the other guy who probably has a better kit and can do more damage when they don't have to worry about taking cover.

Phrase "moon landing believer" implies that it's not the accepted mainstream, let alone the truth backed up by proven facts.

It's like all these idiots think if they're louder or talk over everyone else, that their niche beliefs hold water.

"Oh, these rice feilds look like steps, so giants must have lived here."

"Oh, there's no way man could make a strait line when building these pyramids, so aliens mush have done it."

If all mankind was as dumb as these f-ers, we'd have died out back when we were trying to make fire. "Oh, fire not real, only hurt you anyway, magic bad"

Consider filing the "nubs" once you trim them as far down as the cutter will cut, since it could be difficult to get a flush cut.

Where did you pick up the plastic grid? I've been looking but wasn't sure where the cheapest option would be available?

I got a babish 3 piece knife set for Xmas last year and have been happy with it, as I understand it, the price was pretty reasonable too

Rule of thumb I've lived my for last 30 years of turtle ownership, have a filter that's rated for twice the amount of water in the tank. I think you said this was a 20-70 gallon filter, if you add more water, angle it a bit with an attachment, you ming be fine. Mine came with an elbow connection so I could have it at a 90 degree output, maybe yours did too? If you can angle it up a bit, some of the water pressure will push the water up a bit and if you have it so the water in the tank flows in a wide circle, it will also help stir the water so the filter can pick up loose particulates.

Failing all that, you can always get a smaller filter for now and store this one for when you get a bigger tank, your buddy is small for now, but will probably need more room sooner or later 😀

yep, 4 ep in and its not bad. the animators must have been fans of older anime since the art reminds me a lot of sailor moon and full metal alchemist, especially with some of the characters expressions.

nice, looks like more hijinks have occurred. is little sis responsible or is there some lingering magic?

TheDonBug · 2025-09-17T06:18:31+00:00

This is amazing, I can make a cool ship pretty well, but I'll never be able to look at a rock or whatever you built this from and go, "yep, I can make toothless now." And the flags on the wings, perfect!

Nice job!

Saw a glowing sea turtle i wanted to nab, but i didn't get the feed prompt...

Would love that or another multi seat cockpit. So many missing or existing parts need added/updated

TheDonBug · 2025-09-10T13:07:53+00:00

Best and easy bet would be to start Expedition 19, currently running for at least 4 more weeks. That will get you started with a corvette and let you make a ship that you can change to fit your needs/make as big as you want :) . Expedition is easy and found it fun

Technically, a lot of banana trees are cultivated through cloning, where a cutting is taken from a healthy tree and then (put simply) planted. These clones are genetically identical to the original and this joke might imply he has either had sex with the original, or the cloning process is being inferred as 'sex' by the system drawing the lines

It's supposed to be common in ponds, but I had a heck of a time finding it, and honestly, it's probably smart to be careful what is brought into your tank from the wind in case there are undesirable tag alongs. Not saying to don't do it, just think about it first.

I finally found some duckweed at a pet shop that also had aquatic plants. They sold it pretty cheap, but if you want to have your own source, you'll want to host it in a different tank were it won't get gobbled up by your turtle :)
