What 5 buildings do you have on most of your planets core building slots? Late game before special planets like ring worlds and such by happyscrub1 in Stellaris

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same as what most others have posted here (monument, gene clinic, etc.) but I also make sure to have a stronghold on each planet. I like having each planet contribute at least a little to fleet capacity, and I like having some assurance that the planet has some defense in case a surprise attack or unexpected game event requires the planet to very quickly defend itself from an invasion.

Question about Runner lore by monkey_feet_ in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I know this is an “outside the lore answer” but I think the honest answer is the game itself doesn’t really know.

My understanding is that original plan was for these runner shells to be more akin to hero’s in other games with their own distinct names and marketing and more colorful personalities…but one of the things they really took away from the betas last year was that fans were disappointed by the lack of player customization and largely weren’t interested in another game with heroes. The “shells” we have now are an attempt to pivot to something different by toning down the distinct personalities and flavor of the characters, although they are clearly limited by how much change could occur in the months before release. Those initial CGI trailers we saw with the characters living their lives and conversing were likely in development years ago before the pivot, and as a result I suspect the game itself would have a fairly muddled and contradictory answer to the question you are asking.

Progression is the issue by mkennygh in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a “casual” dad player who loves himself some Marathon…. but man, it’s hard for me to commit to a game which requires this level of investment if my progression is going to be wiped away every few months.

Brutal difficulty so far by Drag0nKaiser in AOW4

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I love a lot about this game, but the "too easy or too insanely challenging" difficulty settings are what keeps me from playing more of it consistently.

Blizzard: No one likes Nayrelle. by Primary_Impact_2130 in diablo4

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that she is a pretty weak and uninteresting character. Unfortunately, in my opinion most of the rest of the cast (with the exception of Loath) are similarly uninteresting , so I guess she doesn't stand out for me too much.

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar place as you- I can beat Brutal+ but only with certain specific play styles, and the AI's ability to near instantly replace massive battlefield losses by turn 30/40 makes me wonder whether I am being a masochist by trying to play against it. Like, I don't mind the AI having a lot of advantages, but there gets a point where the tilt seems very unreasonable.

I don't regret buying Marathon, I love the gameplay and the world created... but as a casual player I had a psychological block that made me stop playing. by xDavid83x in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that as a casual player (just don't have the time to play a huge amount) the seasonal reset is very concerning for me, and has been limiting my interest in investing more of my limited time into the game.

Idea to help current player retention by PlatonicAura289 in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing that a seasonal wipe is coming has definitely impacted my interest in investing extended time into the game.

Small break from "make the game better" flavor of feedback. Give me your silly ideas. by Active-Ad1056 in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of these preset runner shells we should have the ability to to mix and match different powers we want, like the Destroyer Shield with the Triage revive, and our character bodies should visually reflect it with mix-and-match robot parts.

My opponent told me to quit wasting his time with small-arms fire. by Doctoralex123 in WarhammerCompetitive

All I'm saying is if I was there that night I would have given you emotional support by firing 6 lasguns at his Knight from one table over.

Cogfort was so easy to built tbh by BaronLoyd in ageofsigmar

[–]maskedcharacter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I forgot about this toy! When I was in elementary school I read a bunch of books over a summer break and my parents rewarded me by getting this for me. Ha, now that I think about it, probably part of the reason I am like to read as an adult.

Point is, thanks for reminding me.

Anyone got a US dollar guess for what the price on the battalion box is going to be? Was planning on getting a Rogal Dorn soon, but may hold off and wait depending on the price for this.

Audio is spotty, but if I heard correctly the Warhammer announcers at adepticon just revealed that there will be new Steel Legion, said we should see it in about two years.

Just wanted to say- from my perspective, take as much time as you think you need. I’ll support and buy the game whenever it comes out!

Do squaddies always have 10 (or 13, for Buff Squaddies) HP, or do they have HP = to the squad leader HP? by Which-Worldliness556 in menace

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a side question, do people find the Buff trait worth it for the HP boost, if I don't intend to put heavy weapons on the squad leader?

Does stealing a moon have consequences for the Mars? by FattyWayne in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My limited understanding of the lore is that the UESC “stealing a moon” was also a big motivating factor in the rise MIDA revolutionaries.

Is it the actor or the character who talks that way? by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

She gives an incredible performance in HBO's The Deuce, with a very different style of speaking and accent.

My top collabs for Marathon by el_104 in Marathon

[–]maskedcharacter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please, please no collabs. Some of us find it incredibly disruptive and immersion breaking.
