Every single person I know that did sales travel always told me that try not to eat out if at all possible, seconded by trying to work out every day in the hotel.

My experience would not be the same as his for sure, so I understand what Hollywood meant. We have an urban farm , so we have 1/4 inch hardware cloth fully encapsulating the chicken enclosure and an automatic door on a timer to let them in and out. I built the thing and built it to keep...

We got 10 chickens when we started out. Down to 7 now. I was a Rooster, we ate it after it scratched my 2 yo. Another layer got impacted, my beautiful Silver Wynonadette. We had one just get so lethargic we put it down, was just sickly. We were getting about 7 eggs a day with 7 hens, but 2...

We could have a water balloon fight against each other right there? Drop stink bombs?

Homeowners and Renters coverage has Personal Liability in there for stuff like that. Usually there is like 100k of coverage.

I did something today that I know will come back to bite me in the ass but it was worth it. Self righteous sister-in-law brought kids over so they can go out, we "get to have them" till Monday. She is very Portland. Two of the three kids (2, 4) have blue hair and the boy (3) wears a dress...

Roguetech is such a great alteration for the game. +++

There is a good player doing a Light mech only campaign on youtube. is the first episode. I think he might have issue with some of the missions where you have to destroy things fast, like speedy APC's that blow shit up.

Yeah for muh immersion I think you should get them blank and have it take time to assemble. Also they talked about it requiring 5 chassis parts to build instead of the three. All this stuff is modifiable though, everything is in JSON, so it should not be long for super mods

She was lucky and got hit with a bit of cosmic radiation that mutated her DNA enough to make her immortal?

There was a MechWarrior you could hire, in the 1989 game, I think the name was Killer or something, his quote all the time was "I want to kill, kill, kill and eat dead, burnt bodies" or something like that. He must have been Asian.

I had to stop when they added in infants you had to kill

If there was a skill that let you have a 50/50 of punching out instantly when you took a head crit or lost head structure, I'd take it on everyone. Needs an "oh shit" roll in there.

I have family in Springfield and they have a rough time with 1 income of $65k, the dad is a 26 something millworker that works 60 hours a week. I think their rent is 1100 a month for a 3 bedroom 1100 sqft house with 2 car garage. Portland close in is 1500-1800 for a 1-2 bedroom. Glad my...

4-player co-op and a December 2018 release date confirmed for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries

Been learning react, I like it better than Angular so far, done a few sites with it.

Still looking for work as a developer. Pretty Entry level/Cusp of Junior Software Developer stuff. Been working for 8 months with a real small shop doing some web pages. Very slow shop, not busy, need something real. Willing to pay 5% of my pre-tax salary (65-70k ish salary) for the first...

Portland is cool, Southeast is less SJW. NW / Pearl is ultra Hipster/Trendy Shopping. SW is very Business oriented and full of condescending people that think that anyone not in SW is a piece of shit. N portland is trying out gentrification and is where streets called Mississippi, Rosa Parks...

I have not seen The Last Jedi yet, do I need to see that before seeing Solo?

I had max Federated Suns and could not accept the 5 star missions, hovering over the red part it said "faction rep or mercenary board rep not high enough". Was in system and on planet, apparently I can just do the mission anyway, is that what folks are saying? Can't check now but would be nice.

I won a few tournaments in the day using a light mech that just had an ER PPC on it, range 23 I think. I just stayed at that range with max movement and wore down the meds/heavies I got put against. People did get frustrated at me for mathing out every single place they could move each turn...

I thought I read they were patching in random losTech in the stores, albeit rare

is Download K-Lite Codec Pack Full the right site for the codec pack? Don't want to fuck my system up with malware

Yeah the nice thing about Clan tech, from what I recall, you still have the nice stuff like Gauss/Lrg Pulse Laser, etc, but the tonnage and damage are better. I hope they wait a long time before doing 3050, there is so much stuff between 3025 and 3050

Well hold on, is Heat Bank lostech? I have one but not sure where I got it.

Yeah machine guns will shoot 5x each with a random roll for each shot. Let me look for LRM sauce Can't find a source right now while working, but I recall something about Precision only working when you fire 1 weapon at the enemy in the round, so a volley of multiple weapons would not have the...

re: LRMs and precision shots Only the first missile of the salvo will get the increased roll to hit the called location, the rest will be as random as usual. Never seen losTech out there, and the only 100 ton I have seen is the king crab. Both times I have seen mechs I want it has been...

You can determine salvage on the negotiation screen. There are sliders for Cbills, Salvage, and Reputation with that faction. 100 Faction is allied iirc. Stability damage can be easily modded, all the data files are in JSON format. Also, if you have just 1 little screen full of save games...

That sucks about the MW kill. I was in the same length campaign in PDX 1987-89 ish. We had 4 lances of players in mechs plus a player for the dropship and also a squad of flyboy players too. It was fun, one of the guys worked at GeoHex and we had a terrain set that was 20' x 20' and 2-12...

The RNG for hits is pretty much like tabletop, most of the mechanics have the same feel All the mechanics for combat from tabletop, you will see it is real similar. CBT Tables

Make sure to sell where you have max faction. I did a few 2.25 million cbill upgrades on the Argo so got a bit low, having to do a few missions for money now instead of salvage.

Niiice, just picked up Rangefinder++ that gives +100m to view distance.

My version of girl posters on the wall when I was a teen. Total nerd nostalgia, full on.

Anyone know if you can play indefinitely after campaign?

I usually run with a medium in my lance to catch up to stuff. Trying to outfit it with enough to get any real damage output is hard. I just had to replay a story mission 12 times to get 100% win on it, and the tough part was getting to a spot to prevent an APC from dropping marines off at...

There is an AMA going on now at : Some pertinent questions (IMO): Question: Not to beat a dead horse, but you mentioned earlier that the devs are listening to feedback and people’s experiences. Combine that with the comment about “reinforcements” working somewhat as intended. Is there a...

Tactics 9 gives a 17/18% chance to hit the head, hell yeah. 3 salvage from a nice mech is sooo nice. With everything data wise in JSON format, it seems ripe for modding, since it can't be steam workshop mods, it will pop up on nexus I bet or something.

I got double salvage on a Battlemaster and a King Crab last mission, was so fucking crazy. Was a 3.5 Skull mission, and thankfully those two started out "shoddy" or whatever that takes a huge amount of armor off. Double legged the crab and got a lucky PPC on the cockpit of the Battlemaster...

Hmm no crashes here but ymmv. My main issue would be the dumb camera sometimes, so I dialed the action camera down a bit. Gameplay wise, I am addicted to taking max salvage for contract negotiations.
