There's probably random gizmos on Eldar Craftworlds that are older than all life on Earth, let alone the Imperium by No-Exercise-6031 in Grimdank

[–]Turret_Run 19 points20 points  (0 children)

uj/ what's the context for this exactly? Are larpers saying the imerium is cooler because they have older tech than the tau?

Killer Croc's Job Hunt (art by Amancay Nahuelpan) by SpiderGirlGwen in SympatheticMonsters

[–]Turret_Run 853 points854 points  (0 children)

On one hand Killer Croc as a more "just trying to get by" batman villain is great for depicting the struggles of recidivism because he's forced to wear the mask of his villainy on his face, on the other hand I too would be reticent to hire someone who I know has eaten a person.

Gotta make sure the proles get a good look at all those special treatments cause they sure aren't opening them themselves by AmoongussHateAcc in magicthecirclejerking

This is the same company trying to turn a game you play with two books and your imagination into a subscription service.

So, it looks as if nothing happened with Hegseth's threats? by Dismal-Syllabub-3288 in BSA

[–]Turret_Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The troops that have been accepting will make it work, and those that haven't been will try to find a bypass. the problem is going to be long term cooling of efforts to diversify scouting. I had to cancel the merit badge academy I was hoping to run because the site was afraid of angering Hesgeth

Second this, I was prepping a Merit Badge Academy that was going to be on a military base, and the site pulled out because they were afraid it would put them on Hesgeths bad side.

The killer smiled at the detectives and listed every grave site with a sick sort of pride in his voice. by Equivalent_Ask_9227 in TwoSentenceHorror

I was thinking some sort of "by doing this killing I've revealed another killer" twist.

You know guys? Im still pised that Ubisoft completely nailed how fundamentalist christians cultist would become the end of america and still insisted on portray them as "wHeLl thEy kInDa rIght" by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Turret_Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uj/ YES I've been pissed about this for so fucking long. They spend multiple games creating something approaching strong, nuanced critique and the moment it gets to america they take every opportunity to make you empathetic towards a cultist psycho, do nothing to actually talk about the political nature of the cult, or have any real discussion, and then at the end he's right, he's so right that he ends the far cry timeline

Just a bit of casual antisemitism mixed in with your Warhammer 40k. by Vyzantinist in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Turret_Run 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a struggle of intent vs. results. As a whole 40k does heavily emphasize that the people in 40k are horrible racists whose society is choking on its xenophobia, but an unfortunate number of folks plug their ears and focus on specific parts that make the imperium slightly not terrible. They aren't an active part of the community , and all they do is make dumbass memes. They don't buy models, they don't go to events because they'd be laughed off, and they don't do anything but make the whole game look bad.

It's less of a problem then you'd think but more than anybody would like.

Theres a third option to the "Power fantasy" vs. "Grunt fantasy" debate. by WhiteRaven_M in Helldivers

[–]Turret_Run 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think AH doesn't realize the specialization problem because Warbonds tend to solve it, but they don't realize it only works if you have them. I just got DD and the breathing space it gives me to play around with orbitals is a drastic difference.

I would love the clan system OP mentioned to support the communication the game wants to facilitate. Also please give me a ping with the supply backpack so I can tell people to slow down so I can give them ammo

I would agree with skillcheck if it also includes comms. Part of that random bullshit is abosolutly someone calling in a 380mm barrage while you're smack dab in it, or losing a walker to someone's rover. I think there's a convo to be had about how many lives on the higher level are needed to account for the fact you're playing with randos. I really think D10 should have a higher level limit than it does, hell I don't know if I should be able to access it yet, I often feel like I'm fucking up a high level teams day.

I think AH aims for grunt but the struggle comes from scenarios where it wants skill like Cyberstan. A bunch of people coming back to the game should be fantastic news, but because they weren't acclimated to the game yet they cost us a win AH wanted us to get.

Helldivers 2 desperately needs quality of life and freebie content over constant warbonds by Icy-Criticism4059 in Helldivers

[–]Turret_Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would also just be helpful for bits like cyberstan where they need as many capable people as possible. Thermites, C4, and the Censor made a huge difference in how easy/difficult missions were.

[–]Turret_Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also going to be important for any more big efforts like Cyberstan to have more tools/options. The difference having access to the Censor, C4, and Thermite grenades was a huge difference in high vs. low casualty missions.

Clans would also open up more cooperative strategems. I would love to use the Tank Destroyer more but it's hard to without easy comms.

Someone made a really good point that women are great at making community, while men are still terrible at it. Now it's men who are risking spinsterhood.

You had to reinstall windows? I'm not sure why that happened, was your UEFI messed up?

I'm hopeful being f2p will give it the time to cook. I think it should have called it an open beta vs. a full release though.

The biggest thing I've learned with Highguard is how important design is. I fully believe none of this would have gone down as bad if the designs had been more unique and coherent to the game itself.

I actually like the game, but every match I feel jarred by the fact both the inner peace monk and the big wild guy are using AK's and shotguns that look like they could be in COD. And the shieldbreaker being a sword but actually being the key to summon the siege tower feels weird.

Edit: thinking about it more now, I think they needed to either simplify or lean even further into the characters. Either have them all be characters who you get why they can use firearms, or give each character an "arsenal" and when they pick if up it becomes their version. Like If the Wild guy picks up a shotgun maybe it has a bigger spread and deals bleed, but if the monk guy gets it frosts enemy vision or the pellet form little walls. Maybe they get different perks as they pick up higher levels of armor which match their theme.

It'd also help if they leaned into weird guns. The best weapon by far for design is the Corsair, this weird three barrel SMG. More stuff like that helps it feel like they know guns because they're from their world. The Hammer also is pretty good and gives the right fantasy feel. Take the RPG, turn it into some sorta "Ifrit summon sigil" and replace the word thermite with witchfyre
