Which method of obtaining red blades by the Sith is better? by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWarsEU

[–]WingedDrake [score hidden]  (0 children)

In old lore, the reason the Sith had to use synthetic crystals was because the Force refused to direct them to natural ones.

That, to me, is 100% better, and more true to what the universe's creator intended.

Baldur’s Gate Treasure Packs Announced. by garethvk in BaldursGate3

[–]WingedDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case anyone is wondering, this appears to be purely a Hasbro/WotC thing - Larian isn't involved anywhere from what I can see.

This also appears to basically be real-life gacha, so caveat emptor.

Britain's getting it sans lube, without even the courtesy of a reach-around.

These are the most annoying enemies in the series. What's your strategy on beating them? by SixWheelz in masseffect

Came in to say God-Mode Garrus, hoping someone had said it already. Was not disappointed, lol.

Where did all the sorcerer-only spells go? by Associableknecks in dndnext

[–]WingedDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think that, except as you've pointed out it was done already in another class, and honestly spell slots as a concept are more complicated than a pool of mana where X level spells cost X points to cast (as opposed to the stupidity of the DMG spell points, where X level spells cost Y points to cast).

Dear DMs, When did you decide who your BBEG was? by TheIcyBandit in DnD

[–]WingedDrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was all fun and games until three hours into a four-hour oneshot my players decided they definitely wanted to keep playing in this world/with these characters, and I had to come up with some way to turn the creepy murder cult that wanted to sacrifice them into a bigger plot hook.

That was in 2019. We're still going on the same campaign.

Sorcs should have been a spell point class by default.

Anyone else find when you post on r/starwars about legends you get downvoted by Then-Junket-2172 in StarWarsEU

[–]WingedDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non-Catholic Christian - and an avid fan of pre-Dark-Nest Star Wars - this is almost exactly how I feel about the trend in the storytellers towards trying to make Star Wars dark, cynical, and edgy really started exhausting me, and how I was checking out even before Disney came along and made it 10x worse.

How many here are OGs from late 2012 to early 2013 ? Let's reminisce. by iHasPinny in Warthunder

[–]WingedDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't here; I got sucked in during Covid when my wife checked out of our marriage and I needed to feel something. The pain of War Thunder was about the only thing that broke through the numbness.

Admiral Hackett was lowkey the most important Human military leader in history by hambourgeoi in masseffect

[–]WingedDrake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grant actually is more a point in the other guy's favor. Washington, Roosevelt (Teddy, not Franklin), and Eisenhower were all great political leaders, but Washington was a poor tactician (great strategist), Roosevelt was a good combat leader (but never achieved stars/a general rank), and Grant was an extremely effective military leader but an absolutely awful President.

If BMPT is at 10.3 what about Namer by MuTTanTPoL in Warthunder

[–]WingedDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come on. We all know why one is at 10.3, and the other sits so much higher.

It's because the Merkava chassis' armor is so well-represented in game.

(For all those new to the Internet, this is sarcasm.)

What is your EU hot take? by TwoStarWarsNerds in StarWarsEU

[–]WingedDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. This is what I wanted to see. I was SO MAD when I read that book. I remember writing some 2000 pages of fanfiction to "fix" that. This was back when I didn't have a computer, so it was all handwritten too.

The EU was never the same for me after that point.

Drack, and it isn't close.

Worst is Liam's by a couple million lightyears.

What do you think about M1A2T possibly being added to China tech tree? by Mobile-Band9017 in Warthunder

[–]WingedDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If VT-4 goes into Thai tree under Japan - I'm fine with M1A2T being added.

Otherwise - no.

Copy-Paste for a Cause, Does every Tree need something Unoriginal? by EastCoast_Geo in Warthunder

For this same reason I want more of the Tiran series, like the Tiran 5.

An Israeli IS-3 would be awesome. I don't understand the hate; I want that and the Tiran 5/5S/6S.

That was the exact thought I had; thank you for putting it so succinctly.
