  • Man I really want to get into Mechwarrior but I’m just so ridiculously bad at the game and I have no idea how to get better.

    I’ve tried to begin the MW5 campaign three times now and I’ve been priced out of existing every time, I take way too much damage and my repair bills vastly outstrip my income. Combine with having to spend hundreds of thousands of credits in travel fees to get anywhere and I’m very quickly even more broke than I started.

    Just for kicks the other day I set up an Instant Action for testing purposes and I brought two Atlases, a Highlander and an Archer to some random backwater mid-difficulty mission and still barely limped out of there alive, with the Highlander and one of the Atlases downed. That’s just shameful.






  • It’s a lost identity, is what it is. American conservatives will give you 4 different definitions of what conservatism is supposed to be, and leftists will give you an additional 6 more.

    What it’s supposed to be is a political counter to the progressivism of the left. Lefties push progressive rhetoric and the conservatives keep them in check to prevent them from blowing up the economy.

    Except, in practice, we haven’t had a conservative leader that actually knows the value of a dollar bill in (at least) over a century, even prior to that it was primarily the political party of “I want to keep slaves and I’m not going to let you stop me”, and in the modern day it’s been entirely co-opted by the Christian Church and its tireless quest to completely enslave every human being on the planet.


  • Get organized at the local level, create food pantries for affected workers, and pool money together for bills. The fact that we are so divided as a country that a mere thought of a community is seen as “communism.”

    … With what food and money? Serious question, I’m not trying to be an ass. If nobody has enough of their own savings, nobody is working because we’re on strike, where are we getting this food and money with which to maintain our community?

    I’m open to this idea, but myself and most everyone else in my local community are afraid for their lives and livelihoods. It would take us roughly around 3-6 weeks to become so resource starved that we either die, or return to laboring under probably a worse deal than we left in the first place. Six weeks of no income isn’t even going to make a noticeable dent in the pocketbook of the Starbucks CEO.







  • Off the top of my head:

    • Cast Fly yourselves or purchase/acquire some boots of flying
    • Elemental resistance or immunity vs the element of dragon’s breath you expect to be meeting, from the Protection From Energy spell or from equippable gear
    • If you’re confident in your spell save DC, Hold Monster is a fun one to cast on any flying creatures
    • buy a bow and arrow
    • better yet, buy a ballista and a mule to tow it around
    • buy a couple dozen health potions that you chug furiously on the rounds that you aren’t being breath-attack-strafed
    • have the fighter make consecutive grapple checks to Los Tiburon the dragon into the fucking dirt

    There are a lot of ways to deal with this, you just have to get creative and maybe set yourselves a short side quest or two to acquire what you need for the real job. Half of the above suggestions can be accomplished by a single tactically minded cleric, and no arcane caster worth his salt isn’t going to know how to fly by level five, wizards that can’t fly generally don’t live very long and sorcerors that can’t fly don’t get laid.
