Lawman 0 posted:Is it a good idea to give everyone jump jets No. Sometimes it's good to give jump jets to your sniper or missile boat mech because they can jump up to high places and get accuracy bonuses. There's a few brawler mechs who get a lot of mileage out of jump jets too, so it's something you can experiment with. The Grasshopper especially benefits immensely from jumpjets, because you can have a full range of movement and still brace in cover instead of being bogged down by movement penalties in trees. A general campaign tip I'd also like to give: the game will bait you into thinking it's a good idea to run missions against pirates for the extra money, but you'll get way more mileage out of having good relations with pirates so you can get lower prices on the black market. What's actually completely risk free is doing missions against planetary governments. Planetary governments don't have their own reputation values, so you can beat up on them as much as you want and they'll never deny market access or stop giving you contracts.

Upmarket Mango posted:I got the Gabriel Knight games because they were on sale and I heard they were good. Of course, the most infamous puzzle in the game – highlighted by this Old Man Murray article – is the one where Gabriel needs to impersonate Mosely in order to rent a moped. The first step is to steal his passport, which is done by placing a piece of candy in the hallway and snagging it from his pants while he’s busy unwrapping the treat. This in itself is weird, but not the oddest part of the puzzle. Anyway, Gabriel and Mosely look nothing alike. The logical step would be to find something to take a photo of Gabriel and then replace in the passport, but no, that would be too easy. (Strangely, you actually get a computer that makes fake IDs, but that doesn’t happen until later.) So, the first step is to steal his yellow jacket. Next, you need to hide the fact that Gabriel isn’t bald, so you need to find a hat. Then you grab a magic marker and draw a mustache on the passport photo to obscure the face. Now, Gabriel himself doesn’t have a mustache either, so you need to find a local alley cat, stick a piece of masking tape on a hole in a door, spray the cat with a water bottle in order to make it run through said hole, pick up the cat hair stuck to the tape, and then apply it to Gabriel’s face using a packet of syrup found in the dining room.

Lawman 0 posted:Dang that's a good as hell tip. Also, don't buy mechwarrior parts or completed mechs off the market. You'll get their parts salvaged eventually. The only exception is for Atlas and Stalker parts. Atlases are really rare, and getting a Stalker early can really change the game because the Stalker is the only mech that can fit in 4 LRM 20s if you want to go really crazy. e: Black Knights are also pretty rare. Black Knight may be a heavy mech, but it also has the most energy hardpoints. So you could run a M laser or L Laser black knight in the late game and it'll still hold its own.

im finding that pk was right, the double damage reduction skill is essentially to cost effective soirees, in my previous game from back at launch basically none of my pilots had that skill and all my midgame vicitories were barely over phyrric because of it

the sci fi call of duties are all very good, the more sci fi the better. black ops 2? pretty lame, not really a lot of cyber stuff happening. black ops 3 is some kind of low rent ghost in the shell plot, its insane. advanced warfare is pretty fun to play with the mobility but i found the story lame beyond the press f meme. i havent done infinite warfare but it has a space fighter carrier in orbit so how can it possibly be bad.

For a random CSPAM recommendation I've enjoyed playing expeditions Vikings. Has some annoying elements like constant loading screens/loving annoying enemy archers but I enjoyed things like capturing filthy thralls to help build up your town. Also has a variety of skills, traps and weapons to keep things interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBSIbQaEO-4 etalian has issued a correction as of 04:56 on Oct 1, 2019 |

Al! posted:are the warring houses in mechwarrior supposed to be more like medieval german princes or more like warring italian renaissance families They're more like royal French families ruling over unruly barons. Some factions have more or less variations among their planetary governments. The closest thing to a liberal democracy in the setting is the Taurian Concordat, which is sort of like if the United States was a constitutional monarchy.

I got my 970 brand new for like 300 a couple of years ago right before bitcoin mining took off and caused to price to jump up like 100 dollars for a year or some poo poo. It will still max out most games 60 fps 1080p. Cant really seeing myself upgrading anytime soon

I got a 970 Twin Frozr myself for a similar price. You can't even find those things on the market anymore. At this point I'd only think of upgrading if I'm going to buy in to VR.

Infinite wars opening was the most fascist thing I've ever seen and... As far as I can tell unironic? It opens with you in Geneva (GET IT?) with all the military talking about how the politicians are holding them BACK and the degenerate cowards want peace. Naturally they are right and the classic yank plot of "theyr using our Arab killing superweapons against... Us????" kicks in. Jon snow is the villain but agrees with the thrust of the plot that warrior brotherhoods are shackled by human rights but he doesn't love his warrior brothers so he's impure. The prologue bit is you playing some goodie soldiers killing poo poo loads of his men and blowing up some industry or something and then your two men get killed on the mission which is EVIL I didn't play past that tho

Jontron being so loving stupid that he unforcedly outed himself as a white supremacist because he doesn't know what his own views mean was one of the highpoints of gamer culture imo Also thinking Japan is a model society cause they make his toys I stopped watching him after that, I assume he doubled down?

So that twee little RPG, Heartbeat, I posted about earlier decided to double down spectacularly on the whole “dev is expressing transphobic opinions” thing by offering a 41% discount on the game and soundtrack, as a reference to some study saying 41% of trans people attempt suicide. Seems lovely and I’m depressed no one can do anything about it (like basically every bad thing I see), but at the same time it is still very funny to me that some anime pervert is getting so aggressive despite making something on the emotional maturity level of a Barney episode.
