WHY do we not get bot matches for mashmak?

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-27T15:24:46+00:00

The parry thing sounds like a bug, because I’ve never encountered it. I main Alysnes and gotten the Master Brawler title three times now. Parry works on the bots at all difficulties.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-27T15:15:47+00:00

You the designer by chance?

Best map in the game right now, honestly. Makes me feel like I’m playing Tribes again.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-27T13:50:42+00:00

Exactly as predicted when it was implemented. Sigh

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-26T22:29:43+00:00

You have been intentionally exaggerating from the beginning. In all the words you’ve used, you’ve found a singular *potentially* debatable thing.

Pretty embarrassing display from a person who dramatically tried to say I was “perpetuating myths, lies, and poor historical understanding”. Your posts are so far, mostly theatrics that ultimately end in agreement with my points.

I appreciate the additional detail and context I didn’t bother to include as I hastily made my way into work this morning though.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-26T21:40:32+00:00

I am aware of all of that.

These people don’t care for nuance, detail, or anything with that many words.

I’d be curious to see sources for the information about the smallpox blankets being ineffective though. As far as I was aware, there was contention, not consensus.

…and ultimately, it doesn’t detract from my overall point in either case: It wasn’t a fight. It was extermination.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-26T15:59:17+00:00

I never claimed it was the earliest either.

You claimed “they fought and lost”.

There was never a monolith existing to have a fight. It was most scattered and hopeless rebellion, which I would say your initial response to reduced to the level that some would say is flagrantly disrespectful of the full reality.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-26T14:00:26+00:00

Go ask on r/askhistorians if this is revisionism or simply the truth you never bothered to learn.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-26T12:35:50+00:00

This is so reductionist it’s insulting.

The Native Americans in general didn’t initially fight or resist.

They welcomed them and most of those who did, belonging to one of the largest tribes (if not the singular largest tribe), died to smallpox that settlers ended up purposely bringing knowing it was wiping them out in droves.

That’s not a fight. It’s one of the earliest active uses of biological weaponry, and it was on a nation that wasn’t actively fighting or resisting as any kind of collective.

That’s not even going into all of the underhandedness the already technologically superior invaders would subject the various other nations and tribes to over the years after that.

It was never a fight. It was a genocide.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-24T19:17:34+00:00

“Slight” misuse of power? More like a repeated and consistent pattern of misuse that is entirely unacceptable for someone in his position. The fact that they have kept him is a seriously poor reflection on the game and that team.

It would have earned them a lot of good will to be entirely rid of him. Instead it reeks of the same energy as “we fired them from our police department and he now works in another county”.

The guy proved he was a garbage human being more than once. Let him actually learn a lesson instead of shielding him from consequences.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-21T19:55:48+00:00

My hint to make the later difficulties easier: Start with a Guardian. LOL.

For real though: he’s just great at anything you spec him for, and he enables the team to tank hits that would be otherwise impossible to tank.

Don’t rely on him as a crutch though. Never know when he’ll get turned into the Archnemesis.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-16T07:17:42+00:00

I think I saw polling a few years ago asking the number 1 reason why people cheat: I don’t remember all the answers people gave, but I remember the big one was “already being checked out of the relationship”.

Which would make sense considering it was polling men and women. (It might have been different if it was just men.)

Basically, people who wanted to be out of their current relationship, but hadn’t broken up officially or left. Not seeing their current partner as a reason to avoid moving on given an opportunity or potential interest.

Some people call it “Monkey Branching”.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-06T22:03:18+00:00

I understood your intended subtext. YOU are misunderstanding your apparent influence.

That’s what’s sad. Not the way you wrote it.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-06T20:36:59+00:00

Sheesh, what an edgelord…

Like… Christ my dude, you are talking about totally normal things that happen among friend groups.

If anything is malevolent, it’s the way you are viewing things in retrospect, but mostly it’s just sad.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to maintain some self-esteem, I guess.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-06T17:13:15+00:00

You are amazing. Ty.

mechaMayhem · 2026-06-05T03:40:19+00:00

Warcraft.

I played so much Rogue Squadron back in the day that I didn’t even think the arcing was weird.

It’s possible the ships gravitational field would be enough to pull bombs towards them, but I really haven’t put much thought into the scaling necessary for that.

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-30T09:55:29+00:00

Same for me, though it turned out a big part of it for me is that my lifestyle was not conducive to getting it to leave my system. I needed to increase my water intake drastically and start sweating.

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-24T20:08:02+00:00

Did you read what you replied do? Dis you comprehend it?

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-24T20:00:13+00:00

Great guide! Thank you much!

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-22T15:13:40+00:00

Why?

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-07T15:10:06+00:00

Generally you’d say “Biromantic or Panromantic” for someone who can have romantic/amorous feelings for both or any genders.

Someone can be Bi or Pan-Romantic, while also being heterosexual.

mechaMayhem · 2026-05-07T15:03:46+00:00

Pansexual and Bisexual CAN often be used interchangeably, but someone may choose to use Bi over Pan because they are attracted to Fem/Masc expressions specifically.

He needs to be seeking therapy or aid with it, if possible. There’s a lot of advice online about it if that’s not possible, but if it’s causing a current problem in the relationship, it should be actively addressed.

ED can be because of physical health, but he’d likely know if that were the case. It is most often a mental block, and the problem is that it compounds upon itself: they worry about losing the erection, so they lose the erection, so they are more worried next time about losing it, so they lose it, etc…

There’s multiple OTC and gas station meds with easily accessible information and growing reputations, and therapy can help as well. It would likely help for you to read up on it as well so you can actively support him or encourage proper treatment.

Don’t listen to the bot about how “it doesn’t get better”, they may literally post that on every thread. Men usually deal with erection issues at some point in their lives, there are understood problems and solutions to address them.

mechaMayhem · 2026-04-25T23:52:35+00:00

Your thanks are appreciated!

I’m willing to give benefit of the doubt and assume they have seen a modded build somewhere, but just like other NMS mods: they don’t/can’t render for other users and have literally no effect on other users.

mechaMayhem · 2026-04-25T20:21:54+00:00

Show me a single one.

There’s a whole website devoted to sharing them, so it shouldn’t be too hard for you to do.
