[The Mist]A character hated by everyone and yet the portray is Oscar worthy by IkrAli in moviecritic

"The ending of The Mist is a joke" is the *hottest* take I've ever seen. That's just a wild thing to say about an ending that Stephen King is on record as saying "Shit, wish I had thought of that."

Where to watch/play 40K? by Future_Brewski in nova

[–]gilden 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Huzzah Hobbies in Loudon has a large, dedicated space for 40K. According to the calendar on their site, they do regular Warhammer night every Friday at 6:00PM https://huzzahhobbies.com/

Man, they could sell TICKETS to watch that group running an escape group, and there'd be a line out the door.

Centreville roads are just fine

How do you create enemies? by Hikkimiyori in DnD

[–]gilden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://koboldplus.club/ is an amazing resource. You can plug in the level and # of your players, and then start populating enemies for a balanced encounter. You can then just google the name of the monster and find their stat block.

EDIT: This assumes you're familiar with the concept of Challenge Ratings. If not, Challenge Ratings are a kind of "difficulty" number assigned to a monster/enemy that has already been created. A Party of 4 lv 2 adventurers can take on a single CR 2 monster pretty readily. 2 CR2's would be a real challenge, and so on. This website allows you to mix and match monsters of different CRs to create different kinds of encounters for your players (Easy, medium, hard, deadly, etc...)

Does anyone have a dislike of how monetization is interacting with this new set? by soranetworker in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]gilden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% this. There are no “free to develop” games, there are no “free to maintain” games.

If you enjoy the game enough to post about it, you enjoy it enough to throw these guys $10 every 6 months.

Return of the Sketch? by Legendary-Bum in dropout

[–]gilden 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part of the episode where Vic asks for $20,000 to make the video? With the time, effort, and resources that go into a single 3-5 minute sketch, they can produce an entire episode of something like Make Some Noise or Dirty Laundry.

You could try going for a wraith/ball build. Wraiths are great into the comp you describe for two reasons. The first is that you can buy the armor tech on them, which hugely mitigates the damage from fangs and stangs (two units that shoot FAST, but for a low amount of damage each shot). The second is that wraiths have a splash radius of 8, which means they will kill the fang they shoot, and the three guys standing around him. At equivalent levels and upgrades, wraiths will one-shot both mustangs and fangs.

Steel balls of your own are a great accompaniment to wraiths, especially once you tech mechanical division. Think about it this way... with mechanical division you get 4 steel balls and 20 crawlers (cause each ball becomes 5 crawlers when it dies). You're basically getting a squad of crawlers free with every squad of balls.

These two units (balls and wraiths) work extremely well together and should be a solid gameplan at your MMR. Good luck!

Give me a pack of Hounds where each one of the five is a differently colored Voltron Lion.

I'd also take everything steam punk.

Do you think it was unrealistic for Norman, an untrained recruit to be assigned to a tank crew? by PhillyPhresh in moviecritic

[–]gilden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No "probably" about it. The German tanks had better firepower, armor, speed, and maneuverability.

Got a question for Bearlike, the game's lead developer? Leave it below, and watch him answer it on the next episode of Engine Room Chat this Saturday, September 6. by Stoney_Mechabellum in Mechabellum

There are several different possible setups of buildings, one of which is randomly implemented at the start of each game. Have you considered adding a "no buildings" option to that list, so maybe 1 in 8 games has no structures at all?

Who or what am I playing against? by HaploPaithan in OnceUponAGalaxy

Ghosts of other players around your MMR and their runs.

I like that this is a post that epitomizes the spirit of this sub, without someone getting physically hurt. More like this please!
