I know political violence isn't a tool that works for the left, but I still hope for a funny outcome to this funeral. Basically I hope that they fight.

What a surprise!

If you didn't see this coming, I can't even feel sorry for you. It was obviously going to happen.

I can still stan neither the US, nor Russian, now Ukraine. They can all be bad to a point where I don't want to cheer for them. I will cheer for China any day though, or the other countries you mentioned. Russia is just a bit too reactionary for me, which is only likely to change once Putin stops leading the place.

And yes, they happen to be a target of imperialism by the US, mainly because the US is incapable of letting anything go and the average hog still equates russian with communist, which is not Russia's fault. Them having allied with the block of countries that oppose the US/West globally is a pretty obvious move, since they have no other potential allies. in that sense they are indeed anti-imperialist, but that is like saying Hitler was an Anti-Imperialist for wanting to conquer France and the UK.

This is funny to me. Yea, Putin would totally usher in world commulism if only he could reach that button my guy.

Yea and if I had wheels I'd be a wagon.

Look at WW2. France and the UK fought the Nazis and that's a good thing. Does it excuse the clearly evil shit they did as colonial powers before WW2, during or after? Fuck no. No need to carry water for them, no need to carry water for post USSR Russia.

Ah yes, the sterling and unassailable anti-imperialism of... checks notes ...Vladimir Putin's Russia. I am sorry man but what?

Most sides in most wars are bad. Just because they are fighting your current enemy doesn't make them good. It makes them, at best, a lesser evil and an ally of convenience. If todays Russia had the global position to do so, they would create their own version of Nato and it would be just as imperialist as Nato is. Just because they used to be cool 40 years ago, doesn't make them cool now.

For conservatives, getting someone fired for their views used to mean murdering them. They have simply adopted the tools of their enemy these days, because that shit does not quite fly right now, though society is about to flip on it again.

The only thing kids can do these days for fun is gaming you fucking boomers. You took everything else away from them and now you act like that's some dark unknown space because, obviously, kids don't want you fucks there to share the one place they have for themselves!

Calling reddit a dark internet underbelly is so funny to me. These motherfuckers only know how to eat hot chip and lie, cuz there's no games on they flip phones.

Even if this is the quote, empathy is clearly real any anyone who has cried to a movie knows that. You're feeling real emotions from those and they're not even from real humans!

It's obvious of course that these fucks are just psychopaths.

If we can get into this persons brain palace, we will be able to harvest spice melange from their ginormous brain worms.

Would it be worse, or better, if Hexbear made that list?

I dunno I didn't see any Groypers.

 

Heya, the group I am part of will start Lancer in the coming weeks and I was wondering if anyone has build tips because I am trapped in choice paralysis.

Here is the cliffs notes: We will play using lancer rules and mechs, but not in the full setting. The main difference is that we all want aliens in the game, so we will have aliens. This will not mechanically matter, it's just flavor/preference.

The only rules change we agreed on is that license level 0 will allow you to choose any mech, but won't give you any of the license stuff for those mechs.

I know that one player is making a melee striker using a Zhang and the other is wanting to make an agile scout/hacking character. They also both said they would like me to be a leader-type character, which I have no problem with.

What I do have a problem with is deciding what kinda mech and skills I want though! The system has a real way of presenting about 5 times as many enticing options as I can pick! So far I am leaning towards a high pilot (for the evasion, because it seems very good to get hit less) fire support mech role, but that still leaves me picking one of, like, 7 good options for a mech. Either that or go for CQB and area denial...or the drone mech...see I can't even decide in this post >_>

So yea, can anyone share some insights into what worked well for them in the game?
