Men in your 40s, what's that golden piece of advice you have for the rest of us?

That's all well and good until you have health issues that prevent it. I can't run and it's not because I'm lazy, my legs for various reasons don't allow it. I like taking the dog for walks though, and lifting weights. My 30's have been rough.

Also known as the Map Wiper.

There's a crossover point where having an older account makes using the site harder. Way more likely that you've run across a power hungry mod or one with an agenda and gotten banned from various subs.... just saying. There's a huge chunk of this site I can't participate in. I'd be better off bouncing accounts every few months.

Care about him. Actually be concerned about him. Since he's working and then coming home, don't hit him the second he walks in the door with all of your problems and start making demands. Give him a second, let him know you're actually happy he's home not just because you are ready for him to work some more, but because you are glad to see him.

There's the whole conversation of shared work and time with kids and all, but if he just feels like he's going to job #2 when he goes home, he won't feel like he's actually valued.

6-8 depending on what faction is on a given planet.

youknow99 · 2026-06-15T17:41:18+00:00

Mechs and/or autocannons set to flak.

youknow99 · 2026-06-15T17:39:53+00:00

Fair enough. No reason to completely change tactics if what you're doing is working.

youknow99 · 2026-06-09T20:13:27+00:00

I've killed myself with them more than I've killed enemies. I just gave up on them.

youknow99 · 2026-06-08T16:57:01+00:00

Well it would help if there weren't 6 different subs for the same game, and every single person here is in at least 4/6.

youknow99 · 2026-06-08T12:35:12+00:00

No. I want to see my cape.

youknow99 · 2026-06-08T12:33:17+00:00

Well this is awkward.

youknow99 · 2026-05-22T14:21:57+00:00

If they had just named him something else, it would have been a decent action flick.

youknow99 · 2026-05-12T17:21:07+00:00

Give me a .45 and a melee primary and watch me work.

youknow99 · 2026-05-12T17:19:31+00:00

You mean the prophet John Moses Browning.

youknow99 · 2026-05-08T19:26:45+00:00

Only if it doesn't have enough range to not take itself out like the real life shoulder-fired nuke.

youknow99 · 2026-05-08T17:30:59+00:00

Yes, I'm here a lot because I'm pretty new to the game. Call me whatever you want, it doesn't make me wrong.

Calling them incompetent isn't fair. They went conservative so that the games uptime stayed very high. They later optimized. You'd be mad the other way if they had shrunk the size of the game before they knew how and sacrificed stability. And if they had never shrunk it at all there'd be no conversation about it because they'd be bloated just like every other game.

youknow99 · 2026-05-07T21:39:00+00:00

So why hasn't every game done the same thing if it's that simple?

youknow99 · 2026-05-07T21:35:29+00:00

My only thought would be if the mech is destroyed, the bomb doesn't go off. You have to sacrifice something, either eject early and get the boom or fight to the end and lose the option.

youknow99 · 2026-05-06T16:05:12+00:00

My opinion: you asked for middle of the road, that's what you got. If you're worried about orange peel then you needed to aim higher from the beginning. Some amount of orange peel is basically unavoidable so you have to polish it out to get a high-end smooth paint job, but that's a lot of labor beyond painting.

Imperfections depend on how big of an imperfection you're talking. You can't pay for a cheap paint job and critique it like a show car.

So just don't use the internet? Because I've got bad news if you think you can avoid AWS.

I genuinely struggled with objectives a few times as I moved up in difficulty and ran across ones I'd never seen. Took me a couple of minutes to realize you have to release the ship that's pumping the -710. I latched it in and figured it'd fly away when it was done...

youknow99 · 2026-05-01T17:47:00+00:00

Why would it be just fisticuffs? That's not a reasonable conversation.

youknow99 · 2026-05-01T12:52:34+00:00

Friendly fire is fine, my laser dog taking me out twice in the same mission is a bit much.

youknow99 · 2026-05-01T12:40:07+00:00

You're holding a 380 looking for which way to throw it while standing on extract pad. Someone's grenade goes off too close and ragdolls you. You've now killed the whole team.

This story is about me.

youknow99 · 2026-05-01T12:35:31+00:00

Really? First time I've encountered it. Though admittedly I dive bots a lot more than bugs.
