    Running through the Outer Worlds and hoovering up everything is making me encumbered, so I need to figure out what’s good to keep and sell, or upgrade.

    Ive been meaning to get more into more into AoS after I finish this admech knights army but I still need to pick a faction

    Honestly I like it better. I'm really bored of how all the games I've played of 40k are... really static. People set up units, theres some movement to objectives, mostly through deep striking, models sit still and shoot at things

    It might just be a consequence of the army I play but Sigmar is more active, it feels like.

    Also warcry and killteam are more fun than either

    Yeah i play mostly kill team still. Thinking probably nighthaunt because itll be summer by then and theyll be good with my new airbrush

    Ooo Nighthaunt is fun! My wife plays them! They have crazy mobility and never die, but they hit like a wet paper bag....

  • ArchArch Neat-o, mosquito! Registered User regular
    I've actually never beaten her army, because she can just cover so much board space so fast that she grabs all the objectives and holds them until the game ends whike refusing to die

    Scrap or sell anything that’s not your strongest weapon of each damage type.

    Most armor is scrap or sell. Same with most food and drugs.

    Also guys I'm inching ever closer to writing a Lancer campaign.

    Like I have two days off in a row next week I might at least rough draft it.

    Batsignal me if you might be interested.

    @Alazull Heyyyy! I'm running a Lancer campaign on Twitch every wednesday! I've made a thread in Critical Failures about it where I've been recapping it (and I put all the episodes on youtube). I would like to hear more about your campaign!

    When I was in college there was a dude who advertised his one man sex show in the student newspaper. He'd get booked for sorority parties and jerk off in front of everyone. I think after word got out he even wrote a letter to the newspaper explaining that the show wasnt just about him jerking off in front of people, it was performance art.

    It's ok, I was lying, brown actually does exist, because we say it does. You, me, all of us, we control the existence of brown. It is at our mercy. We can make it do whatever we want to, like that weird kid in high school who'd eat gum off the bottom of a desk for a dollar.

    Really though I saw it was a 20 minute video on brown and thought "There's no way I'm watching a 20 minute video about brown" then I watched a 20 minute video about brown.

    Technology Connections is legit my favorite channel on Youtube. His series on CRT television is amazing and is the reason I now own two Trinitron televisions.

    Color is weird and interesting. I am partially color blind and needed to learn a bit about how color works and is seen to properly convey the idea partial color blindness is a real thing and not me just being dumb about colors.

    I play Nighthaunt. They're fun and the models are gooooorrrrrrgeeeeousssss, but the army is a little on the weak side, currently. It shouldn't be TOO long till they get an update. With Seraphon announced, the only books that are older are Daughters of Khaine and Idoneth Deepkin.

    @Alazull from what I gather listening to Jordan Wiesman, Battletech is on hold for now with the two other games as the focus. Just they aren't saying what outside they let slip one at least is turn based.

    Battletech now compared to launch are like different games. It is so good. I highly recommend the flashpoint stuff. All the new mechs are great.

    @Feral uhhh.... and @othermagicfolk

    My new job has a fairly high concentration of folks who play magic casually. So, I'm going to kinda jump back in a little. They seemed to be okay with whatever. I'm looking at silly dredge deck for lols, and a fun little infect deck I used to like. But, I should probably have things that are fun and not solitaire. I'm kinda looking for ideas for interactive, fair feeling, reasonably inexpensive decks, which would be at least moderately competitive in a say, kitchen table meta, or whatever?

    They moistly come out at night, moistly.

    Oops I’m awake still and sick

    I wonder what the last decade of my life would’ve been like if I had just like gotten myself a better space to sleep in and prioritized that, and not been scared or lazy about spending the money and effort

    Certainly I’d probably have been more happy, healthy, fit, productive, successful at my job, never f’d up my ears, live longer, etc etc

    Hindsight’s a motherfucker
    (Tho people close to me told me this but still)

    But new apartment soon at least
    Maybe it will help going forward even if I can’t undo all the bad things




    Also I did v bad at my job this last year but I still have my job so that’s good

    @Mazzyx I'm playing through a lot of it right now.

    I love it, but it is definitely a game that needs a lot of work.

    On the technical issue side I'm really getting tired of an objective completing and that giving the enemy a free move before starting a new combat round. Literally almost got my Atlas cored because three Mediums got behind it thanks to this and got to attack with no response despite being dead-to-rights beforehand.

    I have no idea what he looked like, but the scuttlebutt was he had a stumpy dick.

    this Wolcen game looks like a rad ARPG but man it seems like its quite unpolished

  • EddyEddy Gengar the Bittersweet Registered User regular
    Decided to try Dark Souls 3 today (note: I played a few hours of DS1 but didn't really get into it)

    Holy shit this is a good game. Just beat Crystal Sage, I'm lvl 36 and my build is really starting to feel good (pure DEX)

    I will say it took me some time to get used to the roll (and how it seems to queue if you spam it) but after that the mechanics felt like butter

    Yeah, inputs in general will buffer a lot and there's not really any way to cancel them, so you have to be careful not to button mash. Like, you can buffer rolls during attacks, you can buffer an attack during rolls, you can buffer either while in the animation of blocking a hit; most actions can be buffered during most other actions.

    Is p good but getting into online at the moment is still a struggle so haven't played that much. I can get in regularly now but it keeps connecting me to servers in Dublin and Frankfurt which is absurd. It's too late to get it at pre-release price anymore anyway so I'd recommend waiting a week or so and seeing how things are then.
