I, for example, like explosions and have patience. However, I have no twitch reflexes and like to cheese, so I use the gunlance and just stand right in the monsters face hiding behind a shield and blasting whenever I can.
Edit: yes I know this isn't how you're supposed to gunlance. But that's how I play it and it works fine for me 😂
I've been searching for the team I'll be rooting for this season in the NFL (I don't follow it nearly as closely as I do the CFL), and posted this and learned about the new subreddit
Honestly, I am touched by the outpouring of positive energy on my post (after having done a similar thing on subs for the Lions, Bears, and Eagles in previous seasons and getting a pretty lukewarm response), so now I get why Toronto is such a Bills fandom.
Anyways, not sure if this is helpful to anyone or if this is frowned upon in this sub, but feels like Bills are a kind-of canadian team too!
Never really got into this game before but recently decided to dive in. Still early in act 1 and I think level 16. I'm playing a monk and trying to just get quicker at mowing down mobs. Besides dropped loot, I sometimes go to the different stores in Tristam. Why are there even multiple stores, do they have themes? They all seem to just sell the same things but different inventory.
At one point, maybe around lvl 11, I noticed that mobs were taking forever to kill, even though I wasn't dying. I optimized for dexterity items, but finally at one point some mini boss dropped two fist weapons that had double the dps of what I was using. This made me think - clearly I had underleveled weapons, but how was I supposed to know that? And I never found anything better in the wild or in stores, so is there something else I'm missing? I haven't engaged much with the blacksmith mechanic yet, but I haven't noticed them being able to create fist weapons anyways.
Any help appreciated!
This is all super unfounded and not based in reality, but bits are hinged in innuendo and it's fun to think about.
Conspiracy: Dinwiddie pulled a Brad Pitt from Moneyball and is sabotaging the team - I would bet he pitched getting Chad and maybe ownership was against it, so he just purposefully screwed up the QB room so that after this season he has a lot of roster budget to work with to get Chad Kelly.
Dream: Being a former UFL Michegan Panthers fan, I really like Bryce Perkins. I bet he could be a franchise QB given the opportunity, and it feels like Toronto needs to figure out its qb room pretty soon.
Not saying Chad Kelly is done, but more that I'd bet he'd go back to Dinwiddie given the opportunity.
Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries has this a bit: there's a difficulty score marked for every mission, and you can just choose to do missions that are a cakewalk. It's slower progression, but it's fun to just stomp through and not really worry too much.
Is there any other games like this. Even at the beginning it might be the most difficult, but there's no real worry of dying.

I've been following the Xs and Argos podcast for awhile, and this morning finally tried 3DownNation just because it seems to be the most authoritative news source for the CFL.
Wanting to see if there's any others that are better.
I like Xs and Argos a lot, but they use a lot of technical terminology that assumes the listener has a more than casual understanding of football which I don't have. I'd love to learn, but they don't really do that
My wife wants to play, but is extremely put off by the complexity. Is there an easy to way to step her into the rules? I know the intro campaign in BB3 was actually really great, but I think she'd prefer written or video.
It's been hard to find in my FLGS, so just wondering what other options there are
EDIT: I'm located in Toronto in Canada
I have an A1 mini and have misplaced a lot of my supplies for this game, so I'm starting to print some.
I already have a game board and miniatures, but realized I misplaced my dice, so I printed some until I can buy some real ones (I'm sure many will have opinions on whether FDM 3D printed dice are fair or not for this game). I've also printed some random tokens and a ball carrier token (the kind that is like a large coin that a miniature can fit into).
Any other suggestions? I have the compass and throwing ruler built into my game board already.
Especially with this trade war now, would love to support local. My local store has some independent publishers, but I'm not sure if any are Canadian.
Any tips or help would be appreciated!
Also really enjoyed Battletech by Hare Brained Schemes if that helps.
I don't know what it is that let's me enjoy mercs and battletech and not clans, but there you have it.
Wondering if theres any new recommendations.
Calaverd has some, and Big Head Chibi. There's also cutiemals from greebo, but that's not for stls.
Mostly looking for something appropriate for ogres, but not a ton to choose from that's cute or chibi. Actually pretty much nothing
Hey all! Huge fan of this game (and just the battletech universe and games in general, since my first one with Mech Commander)
I've beaten the main campaign, but haven't had as much interest to start new careers in the dlc campaigns, so I've just been doing regular career starts as each of the houses.
I started a bunch as Liao, mostly because the firestarter is my favourite mech. But I found after awhile I just kind of fizzle out as I get money and try to move up to higher difficulty contracts.
I started a new one now as House Steiner, and actually having more fun because I hate the mechs they start with and I'm motivated to work my way up to get more mechs I want. I was on a planet that had a firestarter for purchase but was short 100k credits, and when I returned with the funds it was gone!
Anyways, curious to know how y'all play the career? Is there and end state or goal, or do you just go as long as you can?
I'm thinking with this Steiner run, especially since it starts so early in the history, I'd actually pay attention to news and history as it's happening and try to head towards anything interesting and try to do campaign storylines, instead of just following the main quest line like I did for my first run.
I feel like this would be a two second fix
I feel like the first Half Life was visionary for this - they never had cutscenes, but instead had visuals that happened while you were still in character and able to move around. But even this is a bit of a cheat because the game would basically take a pause as some bit happened and you were stuck waiting for it to happen (the initial trolley sequence, witnessing scientists or whoever killed in another room behind glass to introduce new enemies)
Honestly looking for a game with all action no filler, but still conveys a great story
Just got a printer (a1 mini) a month ago and have been having tons of fun printing miniatures!
I have one I want to paint, but I'm wondering if I can just paint directly onto it or if I need to prime first.
The filament is the bambu matte gray.
It's only just now occurring to me that maybe I should've got white pla to make it easier to paint directly onto. But I got gray thinking I'd prime with white or black and it'd be easier to see if I got full coverage.
I also just ordered HS-PLA by sunlu
If you DO prime, do you have a preferred way to do it? I hate the setup and cleanup process of paint, and haven't used spray primer just because I live in a small condo and don't really have anywhere I can do that. I've always used a brush on primer but never loved how things turn out with it
Wanting to run a league locally, and thinking to wait til the new rules drop.
Or should I just run with the existing one?
Really enjoying Breath of the Wild for having amazing visuals, kind of a cozy aesthetic when you don't want to deal with stressful combat, and LOTS to explore and tons of puzzles and hidden details.
I just wish I could play it coop! Does such a game exist? For switch, ps5 or pc, couch coop or online
