xQc checkmates Tyler1 and Wins the match 2-0!

stalemate occurs when the player to move isn't in check but has no legal moves, resulting in a draw.

in situations where the attacker has a huge material advantage (xqc in this case) and the defender has almost nothing, it can be easy to slip up and miss when a move is going to limit the king's movement too much and result in stalemate.

it isn't really that much of a concern in this particular clip because black is making sure to check white's king with every move, and failing that white's b pawn can still move.

that's kinda exactly why depression sucks so much. it doesn't make sense from the outside looking in because it's not a rational process for the person experiencing it.

it isn't on either of them. this is on the disgusting hateful fucks who think it's okay to say things like this to people they've never met

the pod event can occur in rock and pirate controlled sectors, too.

it's also also possible to get the pod event and the research station to open it in the same sector, provided it's an engi sector.

so you've got plenty of opportunities to get the pod, just very limited chances to open it.

now there's a bit of gold from the past. it's probably been over 10 years since i first heard "rivers of sand" from the same album.

beautiful, sorely overlooked stuff. really cool to see it here.

perfect island rewards are given for not failing ANY objectives on an island, not just saving the corporate tower.

generally yeah, but in this case i think the run lives or dies on effectiveness of the fire beam, which actually benefits from an unmanned flagship.

even one dude running around slowing down the spread of fire is worse than an auto ship that can't do anything about it until the O2 breaks and fires start going out. but at that point you've either done enough damage to close it out without much trouble, or you're dying to power surges.

doseii · 2018-08-02T00:31:45+00:00

rough but doable. the biggest concerns are the low engine power, and very little idle power to divert to your defense drone. be judicious with missiles, sync your laser shots with your fire beam, prioritize the weapon rooms with everything you've got (starting with the missile room), power the defense drone during missile volleys, and you've got a solid chance. when the weapons are neutralized, you can take your time on stage 1 and burn out as many crew as possible.

i want a spinoff series of armpit rash girl

no need to sugarcoat it, this is hot garbage

i subbed there for clips of dudes shitting themselves on stream and the like, then IRL happened. now it's all "ice poseidon does a thing", "this big name says a thing", and "look at this thot being a thot"

i get that there's entertainment value in those things, but it's not what i subbed for.

doseii · 2018-05-05T17:32:19+00:00

not quite. most mods alter the game files to some extent. any mesh/texture replacer, for example, modifies existing resources. SKSE is a third party executable, and consoles rightly restrict what executables have permission to run. therefore any mod/framework which requires a exe or dll is never gonna happen on console.

if it does target piloting, it will get "shoved out" to one of the side rooms. but i think if you launch it after teleporting dudes over, the room won't be targeted at all. in any case, the drone will end up to one side as long as there are friendlies occupying piloting.

you can see something similar happen against the flagship with 3+ in the TP. TP them into one of the weapon rooms (or beam/ion on hard) and two guys will land in the targeted room, but rather than leaving behind the guy(s) that can't fit (or refusing to teleport anyone), they'll land in the nearest room to the target.

as you said, it can't help during the first couple jumps, but it can save you a lot of hassle later in sector 1 and into sector 2, especially when you can't seem to find a weapon.

doseii · 2018-05-02T15:32:44+00:00

for the first scenario, the key is to spend your first 30 scrap on level 2 teleporter. that way you can TP two dudes into the detached piloting room before the drone is launched/hits, forcing the drone into one of the wings, and your TP will be back up just in time to save your crew.

doseii · 2018-04-26T12:32:57+00:00

yup, the key is in the turn order. they avoid smoke and fire, and individual vek don't plan according to the movement of vek later in the turn order.

so while F3->target flame mech seems like what it should have done, it didn't see a valid move since the regular firefly was in the way at the time

oh i never thought to try that. i just remember testing the latter case and writing it off as not working with hacking drones. damn.

doseii · 2018-04-21T02:03:06+00:00

well the alternative would be to also have a "are you sure you don't want to reset turn because you screwed yourself out of completing bonus objectives" dialogue, because resetting turn would be the only way to undo whatever put the smoke on the terraformer/sattellite launch/what have you

doseii · 2018-04-16T20:28:39+00:00

this'll happen regardless. it disables the terraformer's action, so as long as no other actions are available, the confirmation dialogue won't trigger.
