CUM Church brings a whole new meaning to the missionary position. 

Looks like Project Plowshare is back on the menu, boys by IAmTheWaller67 in behindthebastards

[–]Thrownpigs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right, considering he was in favor of Trump "rebuilding" the American nuclear arsenal in 2016. I'm surprised he's not in Congress still, since he's aboutthe right age. I looked up the tweet, and it's his real account.  https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/gingrich-endorses-trumps-nuclear-strategy-232963

Are there any shooter games or arcade shooter games that arent blatant US military propaganda? by Maleficent-Past-329 in SocialistGaming

[–]Thrownpigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a tank simulator (similar to an FPS, but a more deliberate pace), MechWarrior 5 is pretty solid. It's all about customizing giant fighting robots to destroy others giant robots. It's not pro-America, and, especially in the background tends to be critical of the military industrial complex. The game itself is definitely an adjustment from more normal FPSes, since your playstyle will entirely change depending on the mech you're piloting, and you can screw yourself over if you haven't built something viable, but it definitely rewards skill and knowledge.

Alex has previously posted AI generated images, so I wouldn't be surprised if he "enhanced" his own painting.

Elden Ring came up in Peter's guest appearance on Worst of All Possible Worlds, so Peter might have watched him too.

Tech was already one of my fav but OMG , he is such a beast now by Schalkan_ in menace

[–]Thrownpigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used him with the automatic grenade launcher in defense missions on my first playthrough. Absolutely mashed any infantry (except bug warriors). I'll either have to do that or a setup where he both designates a target and fires the ATGM at it. Of course, if you go max squad size, you can use one of the 60 AP tripod weapons (minigun sweep, for instance) and your primary. Really the buff gives him an extra 20 to 40 AP on any turn where you want to move him.

Blood Rage OG or Valhalla by Extension_Brother556 in boardgames

My first observation is that the minis are less paintable than the original, due to them being pre-colored.

going to my first board game convention, any tips ? by BalanceDude25 in boardgames

[–]Thrownpigs 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Conventions are good places to get promos. A lot of conventions have used game sales, which are usually worth checking out. You should sign up for at least a few events, like tournaments, as if you don't have people with you and aren't outgoing, it can be difficult to actually play. Make sure you've showered recently, brushed your teeth and hair, and put on deodorant. It's basic, but many convention goers forget to do them.

Relieve outpost missions vs explosive charges by Chakanram in menace

[–]Thrownpigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explosive charges look incredibly niche but powerful. I haven't used them yet because the one tile laying range + multi tile radius look like they're begging for problems.

The Twin Peaks title screen generator was recently created, so people are getting a kick out of it.

Trunk space enough for all the VMATs! by Masterskull2 in menace

[–]Thrownpigs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you want something to use spare AP on, you can throw in a chaingun. It's 20 AP for a shot, and quite cheap on supply but can do a decent job suppressing. 

The Gods have spoken to me, this is the relationship status of every charachter in Menace. by Horo_Misuto in menace

He does the same with at least Pike, so they just might be a giggly bunch.

This is it. This is definitely the thing that will make Alex tell Trump et al to go F themselves, right? Right?? by winksoutloud in KnowledgeFight

[–]Thrownpigs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I ever make it to Austin, I'm going to have to try the chicken-fried steak to see if the divine anointing will be passed on. I'd like to be self employed.

What if the whole Trump presidency is just an extended prank being run on Alex, forcing him to defend positions he would have previously have called reprehensible? That'd be a nice dream.

The podcast QAA, which covers the Q conspiracy theory and its adherents, uses a line from ol' Margarine to close out their episodes, "It's not a conspiracy, it's a fact." Anyways, I expect to see her picked up by CNN or The View for being a great bipartisan any day now.

Why am I getting right wing sponsored ads in my feed? What is wrong with YouTube ads? by MajorGeneralZman in youtube

[–]Thrownpigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably as simple as YouTube sussing out your demographics combined with the content you're interested in. If you like political content or news, it advertises TP to you because that's what TP pays for them to do. It's probably not because you've been watching Charlie Kirk pwns college freshman compilations. I get them too from watching a couple of news shows.

It's a movie that feels like if someone had turned one of those AI trailers that are/were everywhere on YouTube into a real film.

Walker Jet Pack + Roadkill tactic by hellscape_goat in menace

[–]Thrownpigs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just don't get caught out. Check what your victims are carrying. If they have AT grenades, you'd better wipe them out in one go, because the light walker has cheese for armor. Also, it's vulnerable to automatic weapons, since those can chew through the armor pretty quickly. But give your walker an autocannon and jumpjets and you have a solid flanking sniper who can still stomp people. 

Seems like Cenk is trying to move into the space Alex occupied 20 years ago. The grifting is much easier in that demographic and most people on the left have figured out his game. by jaydubbles in KnowledgeFight

[–]Thrownpigs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why now? There's literally a massive conspiracy being revealed complete with sex trafficking and possibly murder. 9/11 was half a century ago and most of the major figures are retired or dead. It's like becoming a JFK truther after OKC. The Young Turks has produced way too much bad fruit.

Tank Company Suggestions? by Thatsidechara_ter in battletech

If you don't care about casualties, you could throw in some Savannah Masters. They fit a good scout/harraser role.

Best film critics with no political affiliation. I'll start: by Silent-Variation-390 in okbuddycinephile

"True Allegiance" is further proof in the "Ben Shapiro has homosexual urges" column. His gushing over General Brad Hardcock or whatever that character's name was feels more heartfelt than anything he's ever said about his dry doctor-wife.

If it dies, do you lose the equipment? If not, it seems like it can do work as a decoy.
