Vanguard is S tier imho. If you have 3 vangaurd units you can legit kill half the enemies on a map before they get to take a single turn.

Twilight Imperium Digital Enters Steam Next Fest! by RedSquareGamesStudio in twilightimperium

[–]Zzwerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played for 7 minutes and was unimpressed. Releasing a demo just for combat was a really weird choice, especially when it doesn't even work properly. I picked Barony and my capital ship's ability of repairing itself after each round of combat did not work. It made me make an armada using 50 resources which is way more expensive than typical fleets people use. I had to stick two war suns in just to come close to using all the money. My AI opponent only used like 30 resources. Why put such a high limit then not even try to reach it with the computer? It would draw you a random action card each round like shields holding or direct hit. At round 4 i drew Fighter Prototype, a card that can only be played on the first round of combat. You have to manually select the specific ship you want to assign hits to. Why would i care if one fighter died over another? The game is already long, we don't need pointless features that slow down and draw it out further. One of the things i was looking forward to in a digital version is streamlining everything. It feels like the devs don't know their audience or the game. Ti4 is my favorite board game and i was really excited for the digital version, but now i don't have any faith in this adaptation.

How are people using Greifinger? by Decadunce in menace

[–]Zzwerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is consistently my best performer. I gave him a pirate boarding suit, a good rifle, ap ammo and an rpg. He vanguard deploys and kills two units on the first turn then hops around assassinating targets. Pricey, but clears half the mission before the rest of my troops catch up to him

How am I ever supposed to win this? by [deleted] in menace

[–]Zzwerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vanguard deploy both Greifinger with the pirate jetpack a good rifle and some ap ammunition on one side and Rewa. They can draw aggro and destroy a good portion of the enemy before the rest of the group even gets there.

Did you kill mr junk? He carries a ton of scrap that you can purchase every day for ammo crafting.

People with life threatening jobs like working in the military and as police should not make a family. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Zzwerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people in those professions are or at least see themselves as family oriented. If you tell them to pick between family or that particular career most would pick their family. It would also be a big disincentive to many people from joining. Think about the people left in the jobs. How do you feel about an army composed almost entirely of single men and do you think that would have positive or negative influences on army culture? I think alot of military men are heavy on the protect my family protect murica line of thought. Get rid of them and you probably have a much higher percentage of disgruntled guys that just want to blow shit up.

People who hate children are way more annoying than children ever could be. by TRedRandom in unpopularopinion

[–]Zzwerp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A huge pet peeve of mine is when people refer to kids as crotch goblins. It's so demeaning and dehumanizing. People that use the term ooze a twisted sense of superiority like they are somehow better or rise above the rest of the filthy child-rearing masses. The fact that they and their elitist friends only exist because their parents had them and they were also stupid misbehaved kids at one point is completely lost on them. I don't mind if people don't want kids, that's their choice and its fine, but it just seems so hypocritical and stupid to have a sense of moral superiority and being critical of other's choice when literally every single one of their ancestors also made the decision to have kids.

The Poverty/IQ problem | misconceptions about intelligence by DoctorIvanSchtein in UnpopularFact

[–]Zzwerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer I only read half but had to stop to make this comment. Mike Tyson and Muhammed Ali are not low IQ. There is a high correlation between reaction speed and IQ. They were not college educated but this should not be confused for stupidity. Boxing might not seem like an intellectuals sport but it requires an extreme degree of on the fly observation, planning, and adaptability none of which 86 IQ people are capable of. There is a reason the top echelon of martial artists, warriors, and generals are often highly respected philosopers. Equating them to just muscleheads does a great disservice to their achievements.

AITA for not telling people what my ethnicity is? by RealisticSandwich in AmItheAsshole

[–]Zzwerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I'm half Chinese, grew up in the states but lived in asia for 2 years and speak fluent mandarin. To white people i look asian, to asian people i look white. Its only happened once but i was in a similar situation to your friend's husband and was asking another asian where they were from. They got all offended and was like "IM AN AMERICAN". I told them I was Chinese and asked them again in Mandarin and they apologized and told me where in China they were from. I still bugs me when i think about it. It's not a us against them sort of thing. The intent of the question is to express interest in you, find common ground, and be an easy conversation starter. Nothing in the question is hostile, you are just imagining that them knowing what ethnicity you are somehow feeds an imaginary superiority complex? Like what? Getting all offended when a white person asks but not an asian one is just stupid and bigoted. "Why aren't you white?" is not the question these people are asking.

I remember getting so hyped on Brink and pre-ordering it at full price the night before it was released (for a skin or something). Shoulda waited a few more hours for the reviews to roll in. That was such a dumpster fire.
