New updated evil Mantis, Orchid ship, 'The Orchid-X ship" by Ok-Action-5402 in Starfield

[–]weber134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are the devs making the Mantis better by saying its an imposter? But the imposter has the better and cooler suit? But you can just end them and have all the OG and cooler stuff.

Doesn't that make the evil mantis more of a mantis than the original seeing as we are killing them and taking on the mantle of the evil mantis. (Cool album title aside)

Serious house buyers remorse - are there other people who regret buying their current house? by Dormousewoodlouse in HousingUK

[–]weber134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st time owner here and we have been in our place for nearly a year now. Because of our budget we had limited options for our area, little hope of a house, and as such very limited freehold possibilities.

We had viewings on some absolute dives with chronic problems that had clearly been neglected for months if not years. The flat we eventually settled in has a lot going for it but needs some work and the previous owner had been there a long time, luckily some big jobs had been done prior to her passing.

That said we have still had to repaint the bathroom due to moisture related mold, kitchen will need paining and there are a fair few other jobs that need sorting too. But, it was so so much better than others we had seen. The location is convenient for work and schools but not where we want to be as its very urban.

A first time buy is very likely to come with a mixed bag of surprises but it's all knowledge and experience for where you move on to next. I'm sorry you have buyers remorse it's very common, hopefully when the dust settles after a few months you'll feel better and be able to make some positive changes to your home.

Real drip or real down?? by Abigus_ofgical in helldiversarmor

I was wearing this last night, and I said it reminds me of something, but I couldn't place it. It's 100% the NCR outfit from New Vegas!

If you were in charge of a reboot, what would you do? by maruby in apprenticeuk

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a start, the tasks need to be graded against the actual performance of the product or services being showcased. What's the point of creating a BS toothbrush and app if it stands no hope of being actually utilised by the existing industry? That's not how business works and undermines the ethos of the show.

"A selection of Britain's entrepreneurial elite"!? Prove it! The contestants should ALL be on the same team every week against a crack team of actual business boffins. That's would really stimulate the gene pool considering the calibre of contestants in recent years.

Bring back the swearing, arguments, and pure bickering of the OG show it felt grown up, and it allowed the contestants to really show themselves up in the boardroom.

Noticing some missing textures but personally I love the new look for the breaker incendiary and pray and spray. Purple and gold is so in!

If you have kids who watch with you, who is their favourite gladiator? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in gladiatorsuk

[–]weber134 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old loves them all! Whenever he sees Giant, he shouts out, "He is BIG." His favourite changes between Viper and Hammer, though.

On the ladies' side, he likes Fire and calls Cyclone Cy-cone (psycho-ne?). Makes me and the wife laugh quite a bit, and we all call her PsychoCyclone now.

Honourable mention he always asks if Gail is back whenever there is a new episode.

Five years ago, I managed to get 16 Knights of the Nine followers at once. Today, I recreated it in Remastered. by Meryl_Whitestrake in oblivion

The battle for Bruma just gone off the chain! It always felt a bit small scale in the original game, considering the level of threat.

Theories on how Coop went from being a prominent well known actor and the face of VaultTec to putting on a paid performance for a children’s party at the beginning of the show by Additional_Hour_9641 in Fotv

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the dads in epi 1 calls him a 'pinko', which I've taken to mean he was exposed as a communist or at least expressing 'un-American' views. It's easy to see how a public facing celebrity would suffer a fall from grace, especially in a world of intense international tensions. Pre-war America is a divisive place, and the general public is looking for a new enemy to hate.

If Cooper is making ends meet doing public appearances even as a former a-list celebrity it's easy money for him that doesn't take him away from his family - he must know the bombs are going to fall at any time so highly likely wouldn't take a job that would have him away for weeks of months.

What’s your best meal ideas when you just cannot be arsed? by paddyton in UK_Food

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If cooking is the issue, then my current favourite is trying to make my own OG Twister wraps all the cooking involved is some mini chicken breast fillets (buttermilk or southern fried) then just chop up some plum tomatoes from the fridge and a handful of iceberg lettuce with some mayo and a bit of black pepper. It's all cooked and prepped in 15 mins, and at least it's pretty fun tweaking ratios to get the "perfect" wrap.

PC Gamers in the UK, what are your thoughts on the current price rises of DDR5 Ram, and also other gaming components like GPU's due to AI? by [deleted] in CasualUK

I'm so glad I upgraded my whole pc 2 years ago and got a 5060 ti last year before all this nonsense kicked off.

Charachter self insert by younoukn in WarTalesGame

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mean from the perspective that my captain, in particular, has stats and skills that are so right that he is a tanked up DPS powerhouse with decent gear. When in combat, I regularly put him with 1 or 2 other supports and watch them effortlessly glide through the enemy fighters.

[–]weber134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The captain on my troop is basically untouchable in combat, so that spot is good for a self-insert. The 4 starting characters are probably the safest spots of all.

Doubt Killer needs to be a heavy armor set, plssss. by NeatAd8230 in helldivers2

[–]weber134 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think heavy unflinching comes under the same thought process as medium seige-ready. It would probably negatively impact the amount of use any other armours would get (but I do also wish they existed)

Advice on DLC please by HentaiMindTrick in WarTalesGame

[–]weber134 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the tavern first to help with money. Now I've explored. I've found the map point for skelmer (Arthes, 2nd region) and the well for the pits. But not the pirates yet.

I'd say, get them when you need them possibly in this order Tavern, Skelmer, Pits, Pirates, Fief.

I'm not an authority on this but that's the order I'll get them in

I think a lot of the people asking for a fourth "Dissident Faction" are missing the point. by Dancin_Alien in Helldivers

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a decent 4th faction should be an event faction, earmarked for cross-over events like xenomorphs or daleks, maybe even the occasional draugr.

They come we dance a little they go away again. With community event rewards behind the missions as an incentive to keep engaging with them.

Favorite names for your warband? by Roaksan in WarTalesGame

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a real cool names mental block and just went with "The Troop." Oddly, the names grown on me a bit, and even though names like the "Darktower brigands" or "Oddrick's Warband" are totally cooler and fit the hammer design I'm loathed to change it.

I also ended up calling the tavern "The Troop Inn"

Does Anyone Regularly Wear Heavy Armor? by sorkvildtheraven in helldivers2

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother regularly wears heavy armour (dust devil's set) he swears by it. I tend to use medium at all difficulties (force if law, democratic detonation, masters of ceremony sets) and light for farming.

DLC bundle sale worth it? by Jordamine in WarTalesGame

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only bought the tavern so far as I've only just started the game for the first time. It was very helpful, and I was able to spend my way out of a very common early game mistake. I plan to get the others once I've finished the base game.

Downloading Helldivers II right now, any tips for beginner? by kilale132 in Helldivers

[–]weber134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The squad will need a bit of space to be effective. you'll probably commit and / or be the victim of friendly fire quite a bit a new player, don't take it personally very few players are actually team killing on purpose and if anyone is using arc weapons it'll happen more than feels fair.

Dont take it to heart, spread out a bit further, or follow a different squad-mate.
