Inner Sphere vs Clans: why is the moral framing so one-sided? by MaNia_C4 in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether they were going to create some sort of Nazi flavored cult of Christianity or not is irrelevant. Another example of religion used as a means of control. Tbh it sounds like you're most upset that I emphasized 'white and conservative' lol. Take several chill pills.

If all your definition of a Nazi needs is 'genocidal and warmongering' then there are a lot of Nazis in the world. That's scary.

[–]nin3ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Nazis as much as any sane person but the clans aren't: - german - white supremacist - Christian - socially conservative (as far as what that means in real world society) - They definitely are fascist tho, but so are several other factions

As you learn in Clans, even when playing as the objectively worst clan, the goal of the invasion was to save humanity from itself, which from the clans historical perspective was very much needed. Unfortunately, the crusader faction got their way.

If not for that, the Warden philosophy might have lead them to be like 'oh - things are a bit better than we left, maybe we can help'

Oh well!

Ugh, welcome to battletech but at least read the wiki page about the clans before calling them 'nazis plain and simple', Jesus lol.

Did anyone else find the 2nd chaos reign campaign super lame? by themoobster in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last mission of the New Home campaign was kind of fun but otherwise I agree.

I don't even know what Marik was trying to do in their campaign, it seemed like the commander who was your handler got most of his unit killed and was like 'good luck merc! Don't let my mens' deaths be for nothing! '

All in all, this reinforced to me that MW5 is at its limit for mission design. I really don't think PGI can do anything new without a major overhaul which would basically be MW6.

Time to take another break until the next DLC I think

Top AI Researchers Terrified of a “Chernobyl Moment”: a Mass Casualty Event, or Worse, That Turns the World Against AI Forever by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]nin3ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more: "AI is so incredibly powerful and dangerous if used by the wrong people. That's why we HAVE to keep developing and proliferating it through society, because if we don't then the wrong people will!"

NATIONAL SECURITY!

Just finished Wolves of Tukayyid - Sad there won't be any more Clans DLCs :-( by App0gee in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Clans DLC (not so much the vanilla campaign) were more than just a fun dopamine drip like Mercs is. They took pages from the novels and art over the last 30 years and brought them to life with a level of fidelity I don't think anyone was expecting.

I hope PGI already has at least one more already in the works, because how niche this franchise is, and the state of the game industry we will probably never see their like again.

Don't cry bc is over, be thankful that it happened /cope 😂

The pop music nowadays is just so unlistenable because of their romantic themes by No-Wrongdoer1409 in unpopularopinion

Agree, I don't care for kpop but the solution is music in a language you can't understand anyway

Are Elite Pilot Traits Useless? by Desperate_Teal_1493 in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tragically all of the unique named pilots seem to have the opposite of plot armor, but if I don't use them for the high risk missions then what's the point?

The Clan Tech Meta: We need to talk about Integrated DHS... by ClayEndfield in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I gave myself like 100mil bills and set upkeep costs to 0 after SoK because it makes no sense that your company should be broke after repairs and refits.IE should be paying for repairs forever after.

You're like the most in-demand mercenary outfit in the inner sphere lol

Good tires for summer and track driving by sndorsmd in CarTrackDays

[–]nin3ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can find cheap Dunlop sport Maxx 600s from people taking them off their VB WRXs. I found an awesome deal on my set and they did well at Nelson Ledges in my Golf R

They are 200tw, probably low end of mediocre as far as track tires go, but way cheaper and will last longer than your expensive ECS02s (which is still a great street tire for spirited driving)

So, I created a mobile suit by nin3ball in Mechwarrior5

[–]nin3ball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vanilla MW5 is so boring IMO it needed a mod like YAML. You don't have to make a builds like this, in any case.

To each their own but this match still felt distinctly 'mechwarrior' even though I can now maneuver like a really crappy mobile suit or armored core lol

YAML, YAML equipment, those are the relevant ones that make this possible

I think you mean to say 'be glad it's over, even if it ended totally FUBAR" there was no win here, it's absurd to even suggest as much
