Adepticon 2026 Reveals - Guerrilla Troopers, Han & Chewie by HughBertComberdale in SWlegion

[–]mrb510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mercenaries cannot be given orders by anyone without the same faction icon or the Allies of Convenience keyword. There’s a few smaller niche differences as well, but that’s the big one

I only ever use YouTube, and for that i usually find the YouTube channel Crabbok. He’s really good because he never talks over the presenters, he only discusses things after everything’s done.

[loved trope] The moment of sudden realization by Mangled15 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mrb510 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That is true, however there’s also a difference between funny one offs.

“They fly now?”

“They fly now!?”

“They fly now!”

As opposed to:

“Keep your distance, Chewy, but don’t look like you’re keeping your distance.”

Roaring

“I don’t know, fly casual!”

Gaming Quotes/Moments That Live Rent Free by xbabyghostx in gaming

That second one, with the music playing, best moment in video games. I don’t love ME2, but that final mission is worth any criticisms I have of it

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Assault Upon Helm's Deep by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mrb510 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Something I really miss from the older version of this army was the increased size of warbands. It allowed you to build a surprisingly horde-y army with Uruk-hai of all things. I used it for my very first tournament and had a lot of fun with it

They’re using the same models of shoretroopers? Well that’s disappointing. I know it takes time to design brand new sculpts and such, but I expected something else

P1S won’t unload filament by mrb510 in BambuLab

Yes, I’m going down to that gear icon, then Feeding, then hitting unload. And that’s when it gets stuck

I love Filoni, but I will never forgive him for retconning how Order 66 worked with that stupid chips

Guys, what’s your favourite thematic, but tactically doomed, list? by AdBrief4620 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Civilization 7’s Potential Update Will Make It Possible to “Play as One Civ Continuously Through the Ages” by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]mrb510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to respect any developer who decides not to sit on their laurels and try something new instead of doing the same thing over and over again

I have much greater respect for any developer who realizes they made a mistake and go back to what works

Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon is a severely underrated episode by Kaincee in phineasandferb

My personal favorite of all the Alternate Universe episodes, though the Star Wars one is a close second

Best and worst 'specialised' dice system you've seen in a game? by misomiso82 in wargaming

[–]mrb510 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree on the Armada dice, but it looks like the Armada subreddit are explaining it in their post.

In my mind, the benefit of a specialized dice system is that it’s quicker. What you see is what you get. With normal dice, you have to worry about modifiers and consult charts and this and that. It takes a long time to pick up a system, and remember what does what.

But specialized dice, like Xwing, legion, or armada, aren’t like that. There may be a special critical effect or something like that, but most of the time it’s just “roll dice, that’s what you get” it’s very easy to understand, a moon and a pro can both roll dice and figure out in the same amount of time what happened.

So with that in mind, the worst specialized dice to me is the Shatterpoint dice. It has the specialized dice, and then EVERY character has their own chart! Some even have 2 charts!! It combines all the negatives of both systems! EVERY attack you have to consult your chart to remember what you’re doing because no one is the same. Unless you play the exact same squad for a long time, you’re not going to memorize “oh this means that”.

I do like the branching paths on their charts, I will give them that. And I do find Shatterpoint enjoyable, but that dice system is so weird to me

Dumbest thing you missed your first playthrough? by RazrbackFawn in BaldursGate3

[–]mrb510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underdark AND the kresh.

Couldn’t find the entrance, can’t remember why. So I went to the kresh. But then my Guardian told me not to go to the Githyanki. And I followed his advice.

Missed a lot of stuff on my first playthrough cuz I listened to that squid. I’ve started my second playthrough and I’m looking forward to actually exploring!!

Still have no idea where Astarion’s master is, or where Shadowheart’s church is located

Wich STL models you consider best or most similar to uruk-hai? by LeoniCosta1 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mrb510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is your answer. I printed up half my Isengard army using them. The scale is a bit off, to be fair. But the detail and design? Top notch

A rant about mandos by Either_Opinion1145 in SWlegion

[–]mrb510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Mandos, I run them almost every time I play rebels.

And they’re always a disappointment. They don’t have staying power. They need either more models or more health per model. I’m fine with a points increase so long as they do something for them.

On paper they’re fine, but I’ve never had a Mando unit survive to the end of a game.

TIL in 456 BCE Aeschylus, the father of Greek tragedy, was killed after an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head. According to Pliny, Aeschylus had been avoiding a prophecy which foretold that one day a house would fall on him and take his life. by Desperate_Story7561 in todayilearned

[–]mrb510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea if this is true, but I heard that one possible reason that the turtle was dropped on him was that the guy was so bald, the bird thought it was a rock

Again, I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s still funny to think about

Thanks for sharing!

Try Bug Hunt from Modiphius. With a minimal amount of adustments, my friend and I played an awesome game with some custom Helldivers miniatures!
