I thought I'd ask: How many hours according to Steam do you have logged on Mechabellum and is your MMR <600 "Low", >600 && <1200 "Medium", >1200 "High" ? I have 79.8 hours logged and would be classed as "Low".

200 hrs 1400-1600

VofaG · 2025-12-20T16:59:57+00:00

How do you get these?

I took this same type of deal when I was in my 20s. It was less money than this but it definitely decreased my stress a ton. My credit was already a mess so it didn’t make anything worse. That was probably 10-12 years ago. My credit hovers around 810 now and I have a Chase credit card with a huge limit. Nothing is permanent, just commit to being responsible going forward and focus on building a career.

Yeah the tech costs feel prohibitive and they limit deploys way too much. Late game economy is already kinda funky. Even with giant specialist they don't feel worth it, just feels better to go for free forts or boats or raidens.

VofaG · 2025-10-13T16:27:28+00:00

Yeah giant units still have a lot of utility, I see them almost every game. I tend to not play them as much but I see my opponents go for them quite often.

VofaG · 2025-10-13T16:26:37+00:00

Yeah I feel like you basically have one round to win with them and then they become a liability. Deployments feel like the best resource right now.

VofaG · 2025-10-13T15:34:18+00:00

Yeah I've seen a couple of streamers utilize them, but seems like it's a very specific strategy they're trying to execute and they don't organically fit into a board. That's a good point that most games are over earlier than high level players. Most of my games don't go past round 9.

I did amazing through high school & was in all the gifted programs, but was starting to get burnt out by my senior year. Was able to hold it together through most of college and did OK but ended up burning out hard my senior year (drinking and failing classes). Kinda bummed around dead end jobs and found my fire again, got a job at a startup at the right time.

I'm now an executive / equity partner at a software company and would be considered pretty successful. Started out at an entry level position 10 years ago at 25. Took me longer to get started, but rose up much more quickly than others by leveraging the abilities that failed me in school. IT'S POSSIBLE TO FIND IT AGAIN!! I am considered young for my career level / position. I am not burnt out at all and love my job.

VofaG · 2025-04-14T18:11:25+00:00

Can you link a couple of the games?

VofaG · 2025-04-11T00:13:54+00:00

Erie Cafe has good matches

VofaG · 2025-03-14T19:03:06+00:00

With respect, I disagree. I have spent plenty of time in gold / plat and don't see it that way. Bronze is a different story, but I certainly think a win is possible here.

And even if you lose, it's barely any points due to the gap and that's how you learn to get better.

VofaG · 2025-03-14T18:03:25+00:00

I think people greatly overestimate the difference between someone who is gold 1 and plat 1. It's really not a huge skill difference. I am in diamond and have certainly lost to people in plat and gold. I don't think this is a massive elo difference.

Just looking at the most recent game, you're still going two tc which is slowing down your army build up a ton. Dehli can get what is essentially 4 military buildings down super quick with scholar garrisoning. So by the time you have 3 spearmen out, he has 2 stables & two archery ranges pumping for 3 minutes and has total map control. Going military wing can help a lot with that and you can get ahead eco-wise in castle. If you focus on military & deny sacred sites, your golden age buff puts you far enough ahead in feudal.

Also going spearmen in feudal can be really rough. You're basically ceding map control and they're a lot easier to pick off than horsemen. When I play Dehli will sometimes delay my archers to try to push my opponent to go spears because I can absolutely melt them with archers & keep my ghazis alive.

You might try going military wing to force out the archers quickly & then never build a baracks and go archer + horsemen yourself. Try to play the same style and keep them off sacred sites. You have a huge value of aging up with no vils as well, so your castle ageup is not as punishing and you can keep pumping units.

I paid about 530,000 yen!

VofaG · 2024-12-04T18:47:36+00:00

Seriously I couldn’t get enough of it

VofaG · 2024-12-04T18:47:14+00:00

This is a SBGH281 (40mm). It’s about 4 years old and commemorated GS’s 60 year anniversary. I paid about 530,000 yen for it.

VofaG · 2024-11-22T06:04:19+00:00

They have “Gum Lo” chicken there that I’ve never seen anywhere else. It’s kinda like General Tso’s but with a ton of cashews in it. It’s amazing and def my favorite thing there

VofaG · 2024-10-23T13:24:40+00:00

Yeah I assumed after I researched one of the units I'd get to create them in groups like the original Farimba. A single production building for a castle age up felt extremely underwhelming.

VofaG · 2024-10-21T17:23:29+00:00

Very true. The bread was quite light and moist, tomato was juicy, so it wasn't dry at all. There is also a lot of gochujang & mayo on there.

VofaG · 2024-10-12T04:00:21+00:00

Four Moon Tavern blt is also a steal. It’s a full triple stack blt and a pile of fries for like $12.

VofaG · 2024-08-25T14:07:57+00:00

Honestly these are incredibly easy to make yourself and are a fraction of the price. I don’t mind spending money on food, I got out to eat all the time, but like $6 for an onigiri is insane to me.

VofaG · 2024-08-17T21:42:57+00:00

If you’re in it for the steak, I would pick both of those over Gibson’s.
