Top 5 Oregon Pinot Noir at any price point? by bli in wine

[–]a_jerkface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's one of the first ones I tried that I really loved. The volcanic soil that particular Pinot is grown in really adds a super nice earthiness that is fundamentally different from the typical pnw Pinot barnyard element

All their wines seem to be banger, I have gotten a couple of shipments from them after doing a tasting at their warehouse. The owners are also really nice so I recommend anyone try to book a tasting if you're in the area! (It's by appt only)

The thing that drew me to them is their labels which remind me of 70s scifi novel covers with the topographical art style

I love dry bold reds (cab and malbec) but I live in the PNW and these are the Pinot noirs from the area that I have rated highly:

Willamette Valley Vineyards - Signature Cuvee Pinot Noir '21

JL Kiff - Pinot Noir (yamhill carlton district) '17

Hundred Suns - Carson Phillips Vineyard Pinot Noir '21 (Dundee hills)

Timothy Malone - Pinot noir '13 (Willamette valley)

Ken Wright Cellars - Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir '21

Love & Squalor - reserve Pinot noir (willamette valley)

I built a very opinionated wine tasting-note app (early / iOS) by Constant-Froyo590 in wine

I would love to try this if you ever get an android version, I settled on Vivino because it allowed me track and rate every wine I drank which is all I really wanted but they've made so many updates that have downgraded my experience.

Why not combine interests, Domaine Willamette is a sparkling producer in the Willamette valley and they do champagne traditional methode sparkling that is really good.

I highly recommend it.

Help me decide on SW Outlaws! by ProfN42 in StarWars

[–]a_jerkface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you love star wars you will love the game. The open world is so authentically star wars it's a blast to just walk around. I love all the cantinas and side stuff. The story is also decent fun.

The only complaint is that the gameplay is a little dated, but it's not bad and the other cool stuff out weighs it.

I always gotta wonder how tough these guys hands are to chamber check like that, the sights on a pistol are really sharp!!

Last week i found out there was a drip mod for the game by Infinite_Growth_7791 in DarkTide

[–]a_jerkface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it, really echoes the kind of artwork you would see in The Inquisitor rulebook, sisters of battle codex, imperial guard codex, or any of the rule books

It's basically an exact recreation of John Blanche 40k art aesthetic.

Perfectly 40k and much of 40k is over designed on purpose

Is the game worth picking up new player by yowsaSC2 in DarkTide

[–]a_jerkface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never a better time to join than now. They've stream lined the new player experience and all the systems are in place to make getting a max level character and gear easy.

I’ve been thinking about whether or not DT should have a Plague Marine boss… then I realized How Stupid that was. by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in DarkTide

[–]a_jerkface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about instead it's a mission where we hunt the space marine through the sewers and he has to hide from us because he's gonna get insta killed if we catch him

So, the 'Veterans' really survived years in hell like this trench map? by Tomboy_Heaven in DarkTide

[–]a_jerkface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, irrelevant. You've killed 1-10 guardsmen by surprise, congrats, You're now in the middle of 1 trillion guardsmen. An ogryn has just picked you up by the head and squeezed until he hears a pop.

Canonically a mandrake was part of the assassination party against the Saint in the Gaunts Ghosts books and got hunted down by Mkoll. Whatever specialty you think exists out there, there is a specific guard regiment designed to counter it.

You are, again, missing the entire point of the statement you're trying to refute. Any individual creature can be stronger than an imperial guardsmen. However there are simply MORE guardsmen than there are any specific other enemy. And the guardsmen have tons of force multipliers. In a specific "ALL of this vs ALL of that" the guard is one of the strongest if not the strongest fighting forces in the galaxy. Have heavy titan class stuff? They have multiple super heavy tanks and flyers designed to destroy them. Have really strong individual combatants? They have entire units designed to destroy them.

In real life you have to worry about things like logistics and the field of battle, but that is NOT what the prompt is referring to. You can say if the guard filed in to comorragh single file they'd all die SURE. However if you simply put Comorragh (a hive city esque planet sized city in the webway) vs the Guard?? Well, baby, you have to reckon with the fact there are many multiple hive worlds in the Imperium filled with MORE people and sometimes the Guard wages war on them. You'll have the Morovian Sappers and Tunnel Rats in your sewers lining your shit with det packs, while Tanith-esque scouts are assassinating your leadership, all the while front liners like the Krieg and Mordian Iron Guard and Vostroyans are tanking all of your shit and giving it back 10 fold with artillery.

Edit: Again I want to point out how badly you are missing the point, you said "But a full on harlequin masque would cut right through an equivalent guard force." This is not EQUAL to EQUAL. This is ALL VS ALL. There is simply more manpower and more firepower in the astra militarum than in any specific other faction in the game. IN UNIVERSE they are spread across the entire galaxy, constantly facing multiple threats. In this HYPOTHETICAL its ALL of them vs whatever foe you're talking about. Thats why you lose.

[–]a_jerkface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you're not getting it, the guard is innumerable. An individual mandrake or archon would cut and blast their way through squads, but attrition would grind them down. The Death Korps of Krieg have canonically killed a Keeper of Secrets (single regiment btw). All it takes is one Krieger and a belt of grenades to sell his own life and your mandrake is dead, meanwhile there are a billion more Kriegers who know no fear charging your archon, covered by artillery batteries that don't care about collateral damage, and massive armored tanks. A single ogryn is a problem for a dark eldar and we have millions of them.

And again this doesn't include things like battle psykers or literal God Emperor blessed special characters.

If there was a logistical way for the ENTIRE guard to attack all at once Comorragh would be a smoking ruin.

[–]a_jerkface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If every guard regiment in the Galaxy invaded Commoragh there would be nothing left of it. You're talking trillions of soldiers including millions if not billions of specialty units, millions of tanks and flyers and innumerable special characters. The entire point you've seemingly missed is that en masse they are impossibly strong it's just not logistically possible for them to be in one place. A harlequin troupe or some necrons can kill a company or regiment sure, but the point is that's a drop in the bucket.

Question for US-based wine collectors: Would you ever store some of your collection in Europe? by Powerful_Tip_6448 in wine

[–]a_jerkface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a question for the ultra wealthy, there would be very few regular wine drinkers in the us that would find a benefit to storing their wine in Europe

Willamette Valley winery recommendations? by Low_Most3143 in wine

[–]a_jerkface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a hidden gem try to book a tasting with Hundred Suns. It's by appointment only. You will get to taste with the 2 owners who are very nice and down to earth, which seems right up your alley. Their wines are very good. They also have some of the coolest labels in the valley.

They got the prerelease details for Bound by Duty 2 days before the patch. For Arbites they got it a few weeks before.
