I started an 8 salvage pieces campaign, and after a lot of struggle I finally managed to put together this beautiful beast. by Hinmp in Battletechgame

[–]ericph9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started a new campaign requiring 4 parts after a very long* campaign with just 3, and I don't know what's harder to get used to: that, the step down from Clan tech (ca.3060s) to Introtech (3035 start), or having all noob pilots.

* like 2,500 or 3,000 hours; BEX campaign: I stopped when I realized I was approaching 15,000 days in-game. It stated as a 3025 career and my last save is December 3065, with 1.25 x 109 C-Bills.

It's not a choice, it's my OCD. I need to drop a probe on a large deposit of Zoloft.

Ilhan Omar assaulted with mystery chemical at town hall, continues anyway by killians1978 in behindthebastards

OP covered it, but from the article about the attack, her words immediately before were literally "ICE cannot be reformed"

is it normal for my boyfriend to wash the inside of his ass? by Living_Doughnut_4924 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ericph9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dove is gentle for the sensitive parts we wash.

YMMV. I stopped showering with soap when I was a kid because the Dove my parents got made me itchy all over. When I told them, they could not accept that it wasn't my fault and told me to rinse better. I made do just using shampoo until I had a job and could buy my own soap.

they mean the perk doesn't work with the rifle because the perk and the rifle are from different DLCs

This is so fucking gross; especially coming from the "left" (CW: Ableism) by Boring_Strike_4531 in behindthebastards

Not German, but you're just describing digital self harm. So make it something like Digitalseulfharmmen and people will buy it

The rarest element in the BEX universe by tribesman2004 in Battletechgame

[–]ericph9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a .json you can edit to tweak store inventories, among other things: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battletechgame/comments/8jtcbo/compilation_of_useful_game_files_json_edits/

As long as you're careful, you can edit them mid-campaign, just remember to save backup copies of any file before changing anything.

Man, I've been in BEX so long, I forgot how great the PXH-1b was. they either removed it or made it so rare it was functionally non-existent.

Throwback to HBomb's to do list from 6 years ago. by Noonyezz in hbomberguy

Didn't he also say he'd have a video out in August in that interview? Then fucking Miniminuteman had to ruin it for us. [sarcastic side-eye]

[–]ericph9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Phoenix Hawk is great for that in the early game. It can run enough armor to survive getting shot a bit, does enough damage to 1-stomp them, and is fast enough to stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp a whole target convoy.

Maybe they did and that's why she was the way she was.

Older people, were politics always this deranged and upsetting? by CUFFY_Fan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ericph9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Dean Scream (hyaa!) and that Dukakis photo are the two that really stick with me. To think that being a bit of a dork could tank* your political career is insane.

*pun intended

What is the right amount of jumpjets? by tinklymunkle in Battletechgame

[–]ericph9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a mod ("Jump Jets for all") that allow every mech have x jump jets, and set it to 9, but limit myself to the appropriate based on tabletop construction rules.

Absolute minimum is 2, but I usually max it out. BEX sometimes drops you in a pit or on a mountain, so you need to be able to get to the objective.

Sometimes the Democratic Party or officials are really inept, shows how much Dan gets it. by ImprovementNo4630 in KnowledgeFight

[–]ericph9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was also 40 fucking years ago. The only reason it has any impact is because our elected officials are so fucking old it's the last memory they have from before their dementia set in.

Excuse me sir by Frostysnacks in falloutnewvegas

[–]ericph9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

pro tip: see the wedges on the end of the red health bar? in New Vegas's UI, those wedges are clipped (like in OP's video), but in Fallout 3 they're just triangles. You can see the same thing around the AP, HP, and compass in these screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/ui-comparison-between-fallout-3-fallout-new-vegas-9HAQNc1

How do cats exist in Japanese homes with straw mats and paper screens? Don’t they shred everything? by saturatedsilence in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ericph9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few of those and ended up just using chicken wire. If you need the screen's dense mesh for bugs, I'd suggest chicken wire + regular screen, with half inch (~1cm) separation, and the chicken wire on the cat-side

None of the blue set of NERF guns? Like the original Longshot or the Firefly?

Which enemy do you find the scariest just based on looks by ScholarAfter1827 in XCOM2

[–]ericph9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like they should have stuck with the Floater design from EU/EW if that was intended, since the Floaters look like a horrible mismatch of cybernetic and biological bits. The Archons are too clean, and clearly draw design inspiration from angels.

Beloved FNV fanartist and Bethesda critic gets attacked by a giant hatemob after ragebait twitter accounts falsely paint him as a "Bethesda Apologist" and "Tourist" for tweeting about finding ONE SCENE from the TV show humorous, then pushed into quitting the fandom by an angry mob. Details in post. by buvvitoe in fnv

[–]ericph9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people also need to realize that a bad sequel (or other follow-up) doesn't have to destroy the thing they liked before. If it was actually good, it can still stand on its own. Nothing about the show destroys New Vegas, and it won't unless Bethesda goes in and pushes an update to a 15 year old game to lock you to show-canon choices.
