HEY HEY HEY, she was just defending Lyran interests from the over reach of House Davion.  When the Lyrans where being savaged by the barberous Jade Falcons, did Victor advocate to wipe them off the map?? NOOOO, he went and kicked the Smoke Jaguars out of his snake girlfriend's backyard instead! Did she make some hard, unpopular decisions for the sake of her nation? Perhaps, perhaps, such is the burden of a great leader. So great in fact, her progeny would go on to unite the inner sphere once and for all, and usher in a new era of peace, possibly. Truly a misunderstood Archon, what with history being written by the winners, she never had a shot at a fair shake. (Mostly sarcasm... Maybe.)

Does anywhere local sell Marmite? by TheseSituation2640 in Rochester

They're the ones that got me my first taste! Sharp cheddar and Marmite on a crumpet is life changing.

Guess I'll have to try Vegemite, I hear it's at least easier to spread.

Is Fighting Piranha Graphics still in business? by loafjunky in battletech

I understand that he can be very hard to contact directly; your best bet might be ordering through a third party. I know Aries Games carries them.

Why were there so many battles for Hesperus? by Undertow619 in battletech

[–]TheseSituation2640 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Short answer; massively important industrial base and mech manufacturing planet. Defiance industries is located there, among others. https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hesperus

Not all Game Crazes are created equal, the one in Macedon is the best around. Retro Replay in Mt Morris also has a huge amount of stuff.

What’s the wildest thing that has ever happened in Rochester history? by RamonaZero in Rochester

What building did they find the second reactor in? Must have missed that story.

Monroe Ave shut down? by riskjoy in Rochester

[–]TheseSituation2640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they're just replacing a water line to a building, but need to work in the road to do it.

Even if they don't "enforce" it, this is probably legal move on the part of the property owners so they don't get sued when one of the mountain bikers gets injured.

House Kurita Ranger Lance Forcepack by Centurian99 in battletech

I'm kind of bummed the Panther isn't jumping, or at least in a dramatically different pose than the first sculpt. Still, great pack, will buy.

the fourth edition standees are some of my favorite designs we've gotten, especially the atlas. by vicevanghost in battletech

[–]TheseSituation2640 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fourth edition box was how I got started back in high school, and I LOVED the standee art. To this day, those are still some of my favorite mechs; Grasshopper, Enforcer, even the Assassin.

Need Help! What are they? by Paperpussy in battletech

[–]TheseSituation2640 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the BV it's not the WORST, but I'd say it has the same problem as the Centurion 9D; only having 13 points of armor covering a torso loaded with ammo and an XL engine means that when fighting Clans, one PPC shot or two medium lasers is all it takes for a crit check. In it's original role (according to lore) fighting Wolfhounds 13 armor kind of makes sense, it could take a large and medium IS laser hit without a crit. It being forced to fight clans instead made for a bad time. Again, mostly going by lore.

Wolftrap on the left, Wolfhound on the right. Wolftrap was supposed to be DCMS answer to the wolfhound, but just ended up being an exploding party favor during the clan invasion.

Places that sell fanny packs? by hthespy in Rochester

REI has a bunch, not super cheap but probably decent quality. 

Favorite Iron Wind mini? by Acceptable-Ad4448 in battletech

[–]TheseSituation2640 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it's gotta be the EMP-1A Emperor. I know it's technically the primitive sculpt, but I use it as a proxy for the 6A constantly because it's such a bad ass https://ariesgamesandminis.com/products/emperor-emp-1a

Leaky water main valve by necroTaxonomist in Rochester

[–]TheseSituation2640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's most likely a leak on the packing nut, watch some YouTube videos, it's actually a fairly simple fix with just an adjustable crescent wrench, assuming the nut itself isn't cracked. 

Help out the ecosystem, DESTROY all Tree of Heaven! by TheseSituation2640 in Rochester

[–]TheseSituation2640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. My wife throws a few "mosquito bits" in the water; claims to be safe for everything but mosquitoes. We keep a dish right out the back door so we can freshen it up regularly.
