    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    3-1 with 58 battle, but about to eat a loss to abyssal dwarves. Daniel king is the highest in battle at 65. If I can snag one win tomorrow I will be the most successful trident player and likely in the top ten. My guess is game six will be some broke dick ratkin list, given my luck.

    Look, AoS is fine for the people who enjoy it, but... its likely less balanced than WHF8 was (ask anyone who faced Ogres), even post Generals Handbook. Sales and GT wise, even KoW is skunking it everywhere I play, which is kind of sad.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    Hahaha called that shit.... All the 40k people who laughed their asses off when Fantasy got nuked from orbit get to eat crow. As a bonus, I expect the failing AOS game to be merged into 40k within a couple years (its why Sigmarites look like fucking marines in the first place). GW should have...

    Who falls into anarchy first?

    It does when the countries in question have access to nuclear arsenals, as is the case with India.

    Who falls into anarchy first?

    Yeah South Africa by a mile. Capetown basically is the entire country and its a virtual anarchy. They can't even keep enough food production to sustain themselves in the mid term and that is when the shit will really hit the fan. The place is basically Judge Dredd IRL right now, with kill...

    Honestly, that was attempt three lifetime for me. The other two ended in disaster, including a 300 dollar display board experiment for my Daemons back in the day which still has not dried..... The light tone Super Glaze is the best stuff and the painters tape tip I got from a friend is the...

    Last two additions for Lone Wolf: Coral Giant (Nymert from Pegaso): A few details to clean up, but she is ready. "Lone Ranger" This is a model required by one scenario at Lone Wolf each year, so I decided to go silly with this. Its just a touched up Hero Clix mini (I plan on wearing a...

    Doctor Who

    The largest issue with the last five years of New-Who is that the focus has been shifting more and more to the companions and away from the Doctor himself. Capaldi got screwed with his run, but this problem started with Rose and really picked up steam with the Ponds, really. What would have...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    Got the Water effects all done in time for both our league finals and for Lone Wolf (have one giant to do and some cleanup), but I am pretty happy with the results, given how quickly I had to crank this out and how much I suck at painting. Water effects always make me nervous, because so much...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Charge is good mainly because mele is the highest source of attack damage (why they nerfed it on bosses in MP) and it regains shield. The common thread of all the powers I recommend (aside from Incinerate which is good against armor and acts as ghetto stun) is shield regain. With the right...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    If you never want to get in close, incinerate, energy drain, and tac cloak or shield restore are your best choices. If you go for the close stuff, charge, annihilation field, and either energy drain or incinerate is the ideal setup. Those worked reasonably well on insanity, for me at least.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Having beaten this and messing around with MP, there are things about this game that amaze me in the magnitude of fail. First, you can tell the money was running out at the end. The last planet, if you even can call it one, is one giant moon patrol level with a bunch of ME1 murderdomes. It is...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    Coincidentally, RZA directed an episode or two of Iron Fist on Netflix as well. Didn't bother seeing this, but glad I passed. Stand Alone Complex is the best story in that franchise anyhow.

    Yeah that's great until you know that the bugged quests are part of a chain that cannot be progressed so you are screwed on that world.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah my worst bug experience has been the scripted Architect fight on Eos part 2. After the second camp, it just circles in the air and does not move to the final fight area. It did this three times (imagine my joy doing that fight on Insane as a biotic) and I just gave up and moved on. That...

    We are in for Lone Wolf, so maybe the wife and I will see you there? Actually mostly done with Trident, but will likely wait on water effects until after Texas.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Being a german midwesterner, shunning family comes easily. It freaks my wife out though. My mom and I did not speak a word and I did not visit or call for nearly three years over an argument, which blew my wife's mind. To me, it was like: I have nothing more to say and holidays are a lot...

    The simple activation order mechanic instead of I Go You Go alone puts it vastly ahead of a lot of the genre.

    Dark Souls 3

    That part is optional and arguable the worst designed crap ever to exist in a Souls Game (outside of maybe Blight Town on a PC). I did it once and never attempted it on another playthrough. All of the other stuff in the DLCs was extremely fun and awesome. The temple with the water shit at...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah that is basically the first boss fight in the game and its hilariously poorly tuned. The dude spams AE shield strip and cooldown delay, is invincible until you kill his dodgy little pet thing (that he respawns less than a minute after you kill it, has a ridiculous health bar, and has sync...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah this. You might as well play a tech guy at that point, since its the same sort of mechanics without your powers being made mostly useless by shields. The cooldowns on even a maxed biotic are so attrocious for anything other than charge that you are nearly always better off firing a gun to...

    Are you playing on Insanity? On Insanity, the Kett like to warp in buddies to your rear a lot. Also, the remnants just fly wherever and use their snuffatron beams on you.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    W3 also had a much shorter development cycle and did not have the massive side help Bioware could throw at it from other studios. Basically, hiring by ideology instead of merit leads to shit like this. Next time, hire more asians and honkeys.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    If you are playing the Charge / Mele game, you kind of have to stick with the VG profile, anyhow. The mele based shield regeneration is too critical to give up for the higher Biotic Adept bonuses. In fact, even if I were simply playing pure biotic ranged, I would likely stick with the VG...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The best way to get combos from team mates is to never buy more than a single power and make sure it combos. The krogan guy loves to spam the shit out of incinerate, which makes combo-ing with him easy (assuming you are going Vanguard). Also, the jump jet is simply not useful at all on...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah its the SJW damage was mostly in the crony hires. Other projects delve in this shit, but they make damn sure the talent is there to make a good game. As for Wolff not being the problem, look at this clip and judge for yourself what her talent level is like.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah seems to reinfoce my theory that Andromeda was secretly a mission to get all of the SJWs, cucks, and trannies to leave the galaxy. The scene seems to be based on this one:

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Playing it out of sheer spite (after making it through Numeneria I can stomach anything), but yeah the game's cutscenes are just about all like that level of bad, both in terms of animation, writing, and acting.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The sad part is that the lisping quad ball gargling Krogan faggot leader was not distracting enough to stop you from noticing that awesome animated fight choreography.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I blame her. Watch some interviews with her and one of the devs on Youtube. You don't give your main character to a complete newb to voice, especially when the predecessor was someone like Hale. It is especially jarring early because of all the scenes with Clancy Brown (who is always top...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    @Vorph I don't think the combat is bad, but the environments (fucked up walk meshes all over the place), button layout, and cover inconsistencies put it below ME3. The Biotic thing? I am pretty much playing straight up Vanguard on Insanity, so the enemy shield shit does not hurt me as much...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Horizons has some SJW elements, but arguably they are well thought out and a backdrop part of the story, similar to how Last of Us (made by some really hard core SJWs) did. It never robbed from the story and most importantly you were never beat over the head with it.

    Aren't you the dude who wanted to bang a tranny? You might have answered your own question there. Not judging, just saying. But as I said earlier, if I was not exposed to this shit constantly, both by working at a SoCal college and from following GG closely, it would probably not be super...

    Yeah, all other complaints aside, if you play on Insanity, the Jet Pack might as well not exist since you actively get punished for existing outside of cover at that difficulty.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I will assume you have never worked for a dev house (I have not personally, but I have several friends who do), but during crunch time as well as early design meetings, people do all sorts of tasks and get to put their little stamp on things. As in, even managers are acting as code monkeys and...

    Start a new female character and use template 3 to build off of. Make her look attractive (its possible). Then, look at what the in game engine does to the face shape and textures in game. Hell, compare the early version of Ryder to the derpy one they changed to at the last minute....

    What exactly do you think this guy did on the game, given how much he was publicly masturbating over his agenda in relation to Andromeda?

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Ordinarily, I would agree. But this SJW shit is a religion. When you let moral crusaders invade entertainment mediums with their sub par talent, you end up with dogshit like the Comics Code era of comic books or the entire TV lineup of the 90s. And believe me this is not blockading it. There...
