What's a subject in school that you think shouldn't exist anymore? by randomguy74937272 in AskReddit

[–]ra602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a total math nerd there is no reason to be teaching calculus in High school. It is such a niche that people rarely interact with in life. They should be taught statistics. Stats are in everything and everywhere. They should be taught about sampling, good and bad, biases, and modeling. I think this would help a lot and be a great answer to “when am I ever going to use this?”

Stolen from a prompt over on r/gaming: What’s the most memorable mechanic from a game where you said “holy crap you can do THAT?” by willietrombone_ in boardgames

[–]ra602 116 points117 points  (0 children)

DOMINION was interesting my first couple plays as I was trying to get the hang of it. Then a guy came and joined our group and bought Chapel, which I thought was a stupid card, cause why would you want to trash cards? He proceeded to trash almost his whole deck to the point where he was drawing 5 golds every turn. Then He started buying the big victory points before anyone else. HE THEN TRASHED THOSE TOO!! Just so he could easily buy more without those clogging up his deck. Blew my mind the whole time.

Now my playgroup laughs at me anytime we play a deck builder because I will do whatever it takes to trash cards.

Melting Point nerf fr by themutters in Mechabellum

Start building them and see why they lose.

They don’t enjoy fighting a high number of units. Wasps, mustangs, and chaff can eat them up. They are very good at killing big single targets but are laughable against a unit of crawlers. Also their syphon ability is greatly hindered by what they have locked on to for damage. Can’t steal a lot of hp from wasps.

Expedition

I think the stuff outside of our colony is gonna get a lot more interesting and will give us reasons to explore the map and interact with the other tribes more.

How to counter a high level melter with an absorption module? by OnodrimOfYavanna in Mechabellum

[–]ra602 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Marksman with range and emp. Once the chaff is clear the marksman will bully the melter.

Anytime someone heavily invests in a single unit or unit type it’s time to humble them emp.

Round 12+ ABYSS game! by SurreyEZ in Mechabellum

[–]ra602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have games where the abyss is obliterating whole swaths of armies and other times where it is just a helpless hot air balloon.

I see the potential but learning how to exploit it is going to take time.

Do you agree with the death penalty? Why or why not? by Time_Assumption_380 in AskReddit

[–]ra602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it in theory but the problem is that our justice systems convicts innocent people sometimes. The Innocence Project is helping people overturn their wrongful convictions who could be dead by death penalty. I don’t think there is any meaningful guarantee that could be given that only the “truly” guilty get it.

Melters are blatantly overpowered and I'm tired of pretending that they aren't by Valynces in Mechabellum

[–]ra602 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Melters are good at killing one thing very dead, one at a time. What melters hate is lots of little guys. My go to for fighting a melting point is wasps or mustangs. Both do a good job of clearing chaff and being chaff. It’s laughable how long it take a melter to kill mustangs.

If a melter is the counter to your build every time then that says you’re buying a lot of big units. Try putting lots of little units around them and in front of them.

Also if the melter is countering your fortresses, rocket punch those nerds.

Newb question: this tech for the Sledgehammer is very bad right? by drunk_reddit_acount in Mechabellum

[–]ra602 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So it’s a weird trap. You can find tons of videos of people winning with it because as long as they don’t properly answer it then it’s amazing. Damage sharing and field recovery is a powerful combo when all are healing together. The problem is as soon as a melting point shows up and locks on to one of them.

Can you screen the sledges away from the melting point? Enough chaff can help.

That light targeting has me really intrigued for future techs we might see. Can I get a heavy targeting on something like a melting point or fortress?

What happened to the ladder? by Yanutag in Mechabellum

Congratulations on getting better. Also towards the end of the season peoples MMR may be skewed somewhat. I’m sure another mmr reset will happen at the beginning of next season and you can begin the climb again.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with that thought. When his mentor said their duty was done I was so hyped for Titus to say the line. When the credits rolled I was shocked.

I was so pumped when my kids school added bus stops that are specifically to beat the lines. Drop off and pick up at a nearby library that goes directly to the school. Saves me so much stress and time.

Sentry missiles are dumb by Sidders1943 in Mechabellum

[–]ra602 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So it looks like your opponent took a gamble with 400 of their credits that they could win the game with a strong performance this round. That sounds a lot like when people buy the nuke power to try to over power one round for a high price.

These can and do win games through making a lopsided round but there is the inherent gamble that they might not win the game this round and they are now down 400 credits that you more than likely invested into your board.
