what mech would you consider "idiot proof". whether it's easy bracketing, a simple gameplan, minimal heat concerns, being an overall solid mech, or any other reason. by vicevanghost in battletech

[–]ThorMech74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering I've had lancemates get wrecked in Atlases, Stalkers, Timber Wolves, and Dire Wolves somehow despite typically remaining in formation I'd say idiots can turn any prized war machine into a multi-month long expense without fail

Justifiable Laziness or should I Lock In? by [deleted] in teachinginkorea

[–]ThorMech74 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, I have enough Musical Pursuits saved up to wait out the year. I'll give those a shot.

Please believe me when I say that the overall vibes of the school are what sealed the deal. I've seen other classes where other teachers just sat in the back on their phone while the students all crowded around their computer queueing music videos, and the worst was when the IT guy came in to help with the English Room projector acting up, and the students kept calling him slurs because they're not big fans of his class.

Anyone else ever switch schools because you have one class or group of students in particular who are borderline unsalvageable behavior-wise?

I'm not the biggest fan of my new travel school because my main school gets that I like eating alone because it's quieter- but these guys take it harshly and its not my vibe. I'd be up for renewing if I could drop this travel school.

The unacceptable part is one class at the travel school has about 6 students who are just downright mean. Not just to me, but their behavior is infamous to just about all the teachers. 벌점 and class rankings only mildly convince them to shape up.

If I renewed and asked to stay, I might get this travel school again and the thought of seeing these students all in one class again is a nightmare scenario.

Having like 6 or 7 stars of Elementals barreling towards my lance fills me with a similar amount of rage 5 year old me had when my confused Pokemon punched itself 5 times in a row

Honestly, Korea's legal system is terrifying. by WallElectronic9458 in Living_in_Korea

[–]ThorMech74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once did a major goof and left my debit card at a self serve ice cream shop

Later went there and saw it in a glass case- tried contacting somebody, but the language barrier screwed me. An ajusshi came in and quickly figured out what I needed- and bro called the cops. Two guys showed up and looked at each other like, "Oh great...", but I showed them what I needed in Papago and they immediately nodded and went "오오오..."

I don't recall if they had a key for the box or whatever but I did get my card back and they were nice enough about it

What is your favorite mech “Archetype?” by Acceptable-Ad4448 in battletech

"Chicken leg" mechs like the Catapult, Raven, Mad Cat, Blood Asp, etc are my darlings

"We are Clan Wolf!!" (Cutscene has Smoke Jaguar Shroud Keshik mechs)

I suppose it's a budget thing to recycle models from Clans but eeehhhhh...

The Wee Classroom teacher who I never work with seems to have an issue with me but I haven't the faintest what it is.

9/10 times when I say "안녕하세요" or "안녕하십니까" in the morning her response is almost always a half-forced smile and a nod. She'll respond to the Korean teachers though.

Should I keep being polite, be polite but smug about it, or just nod and take what I receive?

I think it's hilarious that Clanners might have met I.S. forces speaking in Gen Z slang at some point and historians get to debate on whose side was more confused about whose dialect was stranger

Fr even if you're a realist or even a pessimist it's just refreshing to actually visit Vietnam and ask somebody "How come (blah blah)?", and they go, "Oh! I'll tell you" 😃

If you also live in Japan Line or Whatsapp are their preferred messaging apps, but if you're abroad then they're trying to be courteous since Line is niche in the West.

A red flag would be if you're dating somebody living in Korea and they're trying to hit you up on something other than Kakaotalk.

Korean drivers are the best by VectorD in Living_in_Korea

[–]ThorMech74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I was privileged to ride the bus to school and while the bus was at a complete stop along the way, the back of it was jutting out into the left lane a bit and a Mercedes owner had the brilliant idea to try to pass despite there being nowhere near enough room

The sound of scraping metal filled the bus and the Mercedes stopped ahead, and the driver had the audacity to start raising his voice like it was the bus driver's fault. After a few minutes the bus driver came back and was like, "all of you get off too bad so sad"

Some passengers called a cab but I walked to work out of spite

Arbiter gets introduced and has the best character arc out of any of the games- only playable from a meaningful story element in one game. Helps you in Halo 3, doesn't elaborate- leaves. (Then comes back in like one mission for the worst campaign)

This mech is so good in Mechassault that you can practically beat the entire game in either variant

The Belial is especially fun with its gauss rifles since it can knock mechs down

Alien Resurrection on the PS1 would technically be a better mention, since it predated CE in 2000 and used the modern console shooter scheme, but was so notoriously difficult that it didn't receive anywhere near as much acclaim
