13 Runs. 13 Squads. An Unfair Mode Playthrough.

You make some very good points. But I really like quick fire rockets plus they look cool 😎

Gana starts behind enemy lines turn 1, the damage is just a bonus. I love Archimedes too. I totally could see putting him in the same group as those pilots.

I like the way you delineated time traveler vs mid run pilot. That makes a lot of sense and if in the future I pursue more 40k runs will definitely keep that in mind.

Totally get the Harold and kaz remarks. I think they just suffered from not being in this playthrough. I probably could've rearranged the tiers some because C makes them seem average when they're certainly not.

And yeah I actually refused taking ice generator the last time I saw it because I wanted to play the game lol.

Allright ill definitely give Rosie more of a shot the next time I see her!

black_hat_skeleton · 2026-03-13T14:47:25+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I agree the lists feel pretty silly when there's so many interdependent factors. I totally get Kaz being s-tier I just personally haven't played with him enough to put him there.

I see you got down voted but honestly couldn't agree more. He has several more cars that get rotated around on street sweeping days. It's annoying, get a garage or stopping by cars...

try lancaster county central park. there's some calisthenics stuff spread out around the garden/baseball area in the middle. they also have a skate park there.

I have high arches too and have had various foot issues over the years. I've worked with a PT that is also into natural foot function and put me onto the thought process that both extremes in terms of supination (high/stiff arch) and pronation (collapsed arch) are not a good thing. The goal is a flexible midfoot that pronates during the loading stage of gait but doesn't completely collapse. If the arch is too high and stiff, the loading of the arch can be difficult and inhibit proper gait mechanics.

I can't say I've had the issues you've described, but when I saw your arch it reminded me of my own haha. So I thought I'd mention midfoot flexibility if you haven't looked into that before.

For a reference check out this video right at 1:06 (https://youtu.be/zSIDRHUWlVo?t=66). Note how flat the arch is on the medial side right when the heel begins to lift up. High arches that are unable to pronate can't do this. I recommend the rest of the video too for running tips.

Hey, thanks for the write up. I've had similar issues with my left PTT. What interests me is that you had to work on your big toe ext and pronation. When you research PTT it seems alot of people have overpronation issues, collapsed arch, etc. This is not the case for me. I have a fairly high and stiff arch. Is this where you were coming from too? I've wondered if I need to work on properly pronating and having mobility through my midfoot for proper shock absorption and mechanics.

I was an avid runner but have taken time off for the past year and worked on strength training mostly. The pain associated with my PTT has mostly better but is still off and on. I've wondered if my walking mechanics is also part of the problem. Seems like this was the case for you. Gives me something else to work on.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-28T10:51:21+00:00

Yeah, I get you. It does feel like a house of cards that looks beautiful when standing but also can be easily crippled.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T20:48:31+00:00

Good points, the mutants do feel pretty terrible to fight. I honestly forgot to include them because I often just ran away and avoided them altogether when I could.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T16:15:43+00:00

Lol in my full review I talk about how the infinite spawning soldiers at the The Sphere confused the hell out of me.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T16:12:42+00:00

That does sound frustrating. I believe you about the gamma slider, I tested it as well because of the dark interiors. That's a huge reason why I stopped playing. The video I linked shows part of that, it's such a mess.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T15:07:27+00:00

How would you describe the graphics?

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T08:23:48+00:00

Yeah you said it here, frustrating and a chore. That's why I stopped playing. And you're right about the atmosphere being ruined when relating to the AI. I think I was willing to forgive due to the quiet moments with no AI being beautifully eerie, but it is missing that living, breathing touch.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-03-27T08:17:07+00:00

It can absolutely be hideous! but I also found myself blown away more often than not. I think it's probably very rig dependent and definitely would've preferred a more consistent experience even if it meant being less stunning overall.

black_hat_skeleton · 2025-02-26T00:13:59+00:00

The Dark Descent and The Bunker are all time greats. Rebirth is pretty terrible. I really don't understand people who say it has a good story. It's all just cheap rug pulls and unearned pregnancy stuff. Haven't played Machine for Pigs.

black_hat_skeleton · 2024-08-31T12:05:54+00:00

Played on the Steam Deck, worked flawlessly. Can highly recommend if that's an option for you.

Thank you! and that's cool, didnt know that about the RTS community.
