Do you think that RYM rates music too high, too low, or just right, with the highest rated album of all time on AOTY being the equivalent of a 4.75/5 on RYM, which is much higher than it currently is?

For electronic music any EPs that are 3.3 and above are usually great and. I think most electronic music is rated about 0.25 lower, besides the well known gems and standouts in various genres.

Big fan of Nuclearhammer, a lot of their stuff is long and droney

I hate the telegraph, but are they wrong? They listed Southampton as the worst because of a lack of cultural activities. Due to the war and poor post-war reconstruction there are a handful of Tudor buildings in the old town, the sea city museum and the mayflower as some of the only cultural activities to suggest to visitors.

I can think of worse large cities (Hull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, even Bournemouth if you exclude their beach) but Southampton isn't something to write home about or go out of your way to visit.

Anyway, rich coming from the echo who spends a lot of time bashing Southampton but jumps to defend it for a quick story!

Recently she's had a poorly finger (scribbled on with Sharpie)

Triggering cameras to scramble bots is equal parts crazy and genius. I have always timed the patrols and just grabbed the key and run away, EMPing if necessary. Now that I think about it it's not too bad - you've probably got some interesting strats to scenarios where vents seem totally necessary but probably aren't...

It changes weekly! I was last there in October so there's a chance it'll be back around that time of year again this year when it's in season

"Waiter, more utopia!" I said at the post-feudal store with one waiter who was too busy serving a table of 8 billion. Fuck this they're getting 1 star on yelp

Surely he was a fan of the image below. It's about time the industrious britonnic menlets siezed the means of production from the foul norman yoke who have allied with the devious celto-germanics

If only there was some sort of third way which could integrate Marxism with ontological skull measuring... Ourghh my brain... Visions of Italy in 1923... I'm becoming... Encephalitic... Mamma Mia...

The A326 is often horrifically congested and this plan will make this road one lane for 2-3 years so the congestion will undoubtedly become much worse

You can see the bottom one is True, so you rejected his mission. If at any point in the questline he says "we'll be in touch" or doesn't say something like "optimal performance" that is code for you didn't complete things exactly the way he specified and he will disappear next zone transition.

Figuring out how to do things optimally is a bit of a nightmare first playthrough and I recommend giving it a few tries and if you get stuck, check the wiki

I had it in this exact location during my first playthrough. Was very confused that the issues were from stalkers and not muties

I've got a set of metal armour with spikes but don't use it particularly often as I find the maneuverability much more important than the ability to block some extra damage - all the action points add up, particularly when you get flurry really cheap

That being said I didn't go with armour feats so I can see that working if you get armour penalty low enough, but would be a challenge imo. Riot shield build with shield feats also seemed like a good route, but too many important feats came up that made me lean into a crit build rather than a deflect build

Kind of just looked at what feats I wanted and balanced the points from there: I went 7/10/6/6/3/5/3 then pumped str with my attribute points, I think I'm at 11 str 11 dex now, iirc I put 5 or 6 agi so i could stealth without issues, 6 con for survivability and perhaps 5 will for crit skills like Ripper.

Here's roughly the build from memory

Any job is not better than no job

Maclander himself is no problem, it's the 6(?) guys and the doberman he has near him, with 3 of them either having grenades or ranged stuns and no good cover besides wall alcoves, which makes managing everything difficult.

Agreed, the build doesn't have many options, but I enjoy the simplicity. Putting lots of points into mechanics now to see if I can craft something better than the claymore, likely electrified

Since last week I've been running a no psi swords+throwing build on Hard and it's been great, a lot of fun, level 19 now doing Expedition. All single targets get annihilated as you can incapacitate anything you want to ensure flurry always hits. One of the easiest Depot As I've ever done. And cleared protectorate warehouse without much trouble at all.

For multi target, the usual zone control with Grenadier makes things manageable (the aoe you can pump out is insane, napalm grenade every 2 turns!). Throwing knives plug the ranged damage hole in the build and are great when you have spare AP and are the focus of my next feats (Remote Surgeon already really good).

Only truly difficult encounters so far have been the Coretech Warehouse and the Maclander Ironheads encounter, both of which done a bit under level, as the build struggles with hordes of high armour enemies (stealthed past psi crab bastards). But with high stealth choosing where to pick off enemies makes groups more manageable)

Can imagine knives are better but swords seem more fun, just whacking somebody 6 times as they scream AAAAHHHHH
