What was your favorite 'Mech in MW4?

Overall: Mad Cat MK I.

Light: Cougar.

Medium: Shadow Cat.

Heavy: Well, the Mad Cat MK I, unsurprisingly =P But because that was hard to get my hands on during missions... The Vulture or the Nova Cat, whatever popped up first. ... The Vulture, I think.

Assault: I kind of didn't need them tbh? But in terms of my lance? Daishi.

What you need to understand here is that I played with Zero Heat and Invulnerability on because of substantial medical issues made playing a lot harder than my brain could handle, given I started playing before my life had acquired double digits.

So, bringing a Heavy to an Assault fight never really hampered me. All with zero heat sinks, maxed out on weapons and armour, and all my other tonnage put into speed.

... Actually, it's just occurred to me that there are two Mechwarrior 4 games. So that ^ is for Mech 4: Vengeance.

Mercenaries?

Overall: Same. Despite the fact that it took me until this year, and following you to realise that the missile pods are reminiscent of cat ears, I *adored* my Mad Cat MK I. Always will.

Light: Wolfhound.

Medium: Shadow Cat.

Heavy: Nova Cat.

Assault: Mad Cat MK II. I found the speed and versatility more useful in this one than in Vengeance.

... Damn it I wish I still had a way to play these games now.

#Mechwarrior #These and the original Deus Ex #I fucking Adored them #Also I had a mild to... a moderate to severe crush on Ian Dresari when I was a kid during Vengeance #And Spectre during Mercenaries actually #..... Oh god I've had the same general taste in guys for about 25 years XD #Which is why I always rescued... Sofia? What was her name?#The sister #So that Ian could go wandering the stars shooting oppressors #Because I was *way* too repressed to actually realise I liked him #I thought I just wanted to be him #And I thought Dukes were cool when I was that young #And I didn't realise know enough to know that going to work for the Davions as Spectre was... suspect at best #Oh this got so long XD #Answered asks

bayek, doing some exploring :)

#assassin's creed #assassin's creed origins #bayek of siwa #SHRHSERHGHGHHhhhGHHGHH #manifesting a 2025 where i can achieve some kind of financial stability that lets me periodically justify taking a weekend off #to just draw some stuff and not feel some kind of awful chest crushing anxiety doom spiral about time wasted #anyway ive been chipping away at this one bc it took a million years to figure out how to achieve the sense of scale #i was imagining. also i read a book about akhenaten and it made my brain feel like it was turned to mush BUT it was extremely #interesting and now im deeply invested in a handful of egyptian dynasties #and somewhere in all of that i outlined two ac origins fan comics. after Acquiring Information on things #@ 2025 please PLEASE. give me a weekend where i can spend it all doing bayek fan comics #also i wish to acquire a new spine. i think. i slept on a much softer pillow than im used to and my entire body has been fucked for a week #like. my neck feels like a jenga tower where everything is out of place. and somehow. my hip feels TERRIBLE #i want to give my body some kind of deus ex upgrade. ehghhh

Far away from home, knee injury, bound to bed and no computers nor drawing tablets next to me, so I am defending myself with a notebook and a few markers. :(

I am so tired of seeing arguments against J/C, saying that Kate never wanted them together on Voyager because it would blah blah blah. Guess what? We are in agreement and we understand why it was necessary, especially when you consider the context of the time when the show was made. We fully support why it had to be done that way back then.

But times change; narratives and characters evolve, and views and perceptions shift. If anything, Voyager's inability to ever have two adult characters discuss their feelings ended up falling into another trap - they had Chakotay go after the 'prettier and younger' girl. You know what kind of message that sent to girls and women? You can have the most profound relationship in the universe with someone, yet he will still pick the prettier girl over you, even if they have nothing in common.

Prodigy had the perfect opportunity to subvert expectations by making them canon because, in retrospect, the 'will they, won't they' dynamic was predictable.

It was stated multiple times that they were afraid it would completely take over the show, but I don’t see almost anyone mentioning that this is exactly what happened with Wesley. Every podcast I listen to spends 50% of the time talking about Wesley, while the main Protostar crew is hardly ever discussed. J/C is also mentioned in passing. It all became about Wesley. In trying so hard to avoid falling into the imaginary J/C trap, they ended up in a much worse one, where all any Trek fan wants to talk about isn’t the Protostar kids or J/C, but Wesley and Wil Wheaton.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#janeway x chakotay #star trek voyager #star trek prodigy #I have yet to find a podcast where they talk about Zero's transformation #Or about Rok's creation aka Bribble and what this meant for her #Or Jankom in general. No one EVER mentions Jankom as if he isn't part of the main crew #Janeway and Chakotay have a direct connection to the Protostar kids so when you talk JC you also talk about the kids #Like why does Murf love Chakotay so much #Foreshadowing Dal and Chakotay's friendship in the Who saves the Saviours episode #Why Chakotay trusted and wanted the Protostar kids on the Protostar with him when Ascencia attacked #And how Dal went to first race and then pilot the Novas and how that foreshadows his interest in piloting when he decides he won't be capta #Wes and kids are connected only by the plot and him being the original Prodigy #But he has no effect on their development other than telling them what to do and where to go #He is a plot device #the evolved deus ex machina #No discussions about Ascencia or Ilthuran #Literally half of the time is dedicated to Wes and timetravel and how he's connected to it #Maybe they see the talk about Wes more mature and more worth having than talking about the silly JC romantic connection #which is just anti fem cause women like to talk relationships #and making fun of them for wanting to do so is a can of worms y'all are not ready to open #don't booo me you know I'm right #women are always being made fun of for their interest in relationships. Take Ellie from trek culture as an example #especially if you've listened to their podcasts which were yikes on bikes in some moments #but she's handling it like a champ and doesn't let the dudebros stop her from discussing her interests

i will now play ac odyssey and we'll see what happens in the recesses of my mind

#for context. not that this provides any context. i just read several very dense texts on sparta and now im going on with my #spartan mirage goggles. like okay lets peel this game apart like an onion and see what's at the core #besides overall disappointment like you'll never be ac origins but maybe you will be a different thing #i am not going in with optimism but i AM going in with GRIT and DETERMINATION #if grit and determination fails be im going back to the one thing i know will give me problems (good). deus ex

The fact that the writers made Demetri & Eli Gen Z nerds, but didn’t do anything with that other than regurgitate stereotypes from ‘90s movies is a travesty.

Those boys were into VLD. They read the Klible (Demetri found its analysis lacking), trashed Dirty Laundry together, Eli read way too much hurt/comfort Langst, and Demetri contributed to Defenders of Tomorrow.

They got back together just in time… to watch Season 8

#had a vision ok #post Christmas fight they get together over break to watch the finale #Hawk starts swearing at the tv when they kill off Allura while Demetri sarcastically goes through every single plot hole and Deus Ex Machina #‘a CONVERGENCE of Balmeras??? sure would’ve been nice if they set that up earlier’)#uh yeah. this is niche and no one cares but y’know what I think it’s funny #cobra kai #kor originals #post hard post fast no mercy #eli hawk moskowitz #hawk cobra kai #hawk moskowitz #demetri alexopoulos #demetri cobra kai #should I tag Voltron #why not the fandoms dead I would know #voltron legendary defender

really enjoyed the night circus but it loses me a bit in the last idk 50 ish pages

#Shitpost #its like. Fine? But the culmination feels lacking #also this scene with widget and alexander is really bothering me #im like. Alexander feels so different from how he was in the rest of the book #it feels almost deus ex machina except god just has possessed a character #its very weird to read a book and suddenly feel like a character is slightly out of character #not a feeling i generally have or condone concerning the original authors work #anyways. I do rly like the book just a few points here
