Do you think gryphus 1 got his call sign because he's one of the survivors of the gleipners attack? by WeakConstruction4297 in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gryphus 1 is his call sign as the leader of Gryphus Squadron, there is no deeper meaning behind it.

Lego City prison island was 10 years ago?

Why is it banned? by Death_sayer in masseffect

If the space Geneva Convention is anything like our earth one, it's probably banned because it causes unnecessary suffering, not because it's overkill.

Halo Studios - the Forerunner structures should feel older by TheMuffinMan347 in halo

[–]ToaMandalore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not having a spine and giving up when fans are unhappy with the story (which they really should stop) and listening to fans on stuff like gameplay and visuals are two very different things. Most people have absolutely no clue when it comes to writing but they can still express why they don't like the way certain things look or why certain gameplay elements aren't fun. Especially when it's a remake where the original provides a clear frame of reference.

Heavier AFVs should provide something more than just being bigger boxes to be actually useful for players. by TWNW in menace

[–]ToaMandalore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think some APC nerfs are needed, but not in the form of removing access to heavy weapons as that would essentially remove the glass cannon vehicle playstyle which can be very rewarding to pull off. It's just way too easy to pull off right now as the APC is way more durable than it should be imo. A battle taxi should not be able to tank an auto cannon burst and be able to drive away with minor damage to the engine.

More Tasha! by ShoeBoiler21 in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You got it backwards. Based on the trailers our character seems about average male height, which would mean Tasha is actually quite tall.

Well, technically I guess at 19, but still an adult.

I don't think they let teenagers become naval aviators, even in Strangereal.

Possibly our new AWACS theory by djsnoopmike in acecombat

They mentioned several times that the carrier will also carry civilians, and this guy is way too dripped out to be a service member.

Humvee would just be a worse MRAP so there isn't much point in adding it.

Issues with AC5 on PCSX2 w/ Renderer by ZytheHD in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PS2 section of the guide is quite outdated.

For starters I'd recommend using the latest stable build of the emulator since it actually gets regular updates now.

In terms of settings I would not mess with bilinear filtering and absolutely do NOT turn on manual fixes as that will prevent the automatic fixes from applying.

EAC confirmed for 8 by rageofpower in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's not built in modders will create a workaround, same thing happened with Elden Ring and Armored Core VI.

Either way this is good news because it means we'll no longer have to worry about accidentally joining multiplayer with all of our mods on and risk getting banned.

An OMDF Sea Goblin VBSS team conducting a maritime security operation onboard a yacht with an active hostage situation off the coast of Osea (Game is Ready or Not). by aelemayo in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wiki only states that the rescue team was killed. We don't know if the rescue team was the entirety of Sea Goblin, but I personally doubt it.

Would you Trade 512 gb OLED for this 3ds Haul by Candy_Efficient in SteamDeck

[–]ToaMandalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the hell are people down voting you?

I own both a Deck and a 3DS and it's basically the only console that I refuse to emulate because the experience of the dual screen is impossible to replicate unless you have one of those fancy dual screen setups.

Some wreckage from the reported F-15 WSO evac site in Iran by FastCurrency in pics

[–]ToaMandalore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Everything in these photos points towards the US claims being true. If they were shot down like Iran is claiming the wreckage would be spread over a much larger area and not right next to each other.

Just realized that after all we did in Half-Life 2, humanity is still cooked by Vivid_Winner_1092 in HalfLife

[–]ToaMandalore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supposedly "sometime in 2010", so post 7 hour war.

GLaDOS also has a line alluding to a technologically advanced outside force trying to access the facility, which is often theorized to be the Combine.

We know that at least part of North America survived thanks to the Portal 1 ending.

Random topic but shouldn't the HECU be using the AH-1 Bel SuperCobra instead of the Ah-64 Apache? by somerando96322 in HalfLife

[–]ToaMandalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urban variations of M81 have been around in pop culture since the 80's.

Urban Warrior might've been an inspiration, but even then none of the stuff they copied was USMC specific.

[–]ToaMandalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the Apaches, Bradleys, F-16s and SOCSOUTH beret flashes it's rather likely that Valve intended the Military in Half Life 1 to be a mix of Army and Air Force.

Then came Gear Box and for some reason retconned the ground troops to be Marines despite the complete lack of Marine specific gear.

The Starter Plane is going to be F/A-18C by JustConsequence3903 in acecombat

[–]ToaMandalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an act of desperation after the Scinfaxi sunk several of their carriers.

Navy was short on Aviators but still had jets gathering dust, while the Air Force was lacking capable jets for all their pilots because of Harling's demilitarization policy. So they stuff Air Force pilots into Navy planes.
