I introduced my D&D crew to Battletech
  • Alpha Strike is really fast - it's basically Battleforce with single units - but has almost all the TacOps rules in some form or another, just without hit locations (well, back arc still exists...)

    You could probably play an AS game with the same number of people but each running their own lance, and still take less time. On the downside, it has all the same terrain requirements as any 28mm game (unless you play with hexes).

  • How Seattle Rejected the Monorail
  • More like "How Martin Selig Destroyed the Monorail"...

  • Seattle Floats Scaling Back Energy Code Changes to Cut Housing Costs
  • Oh, look, another industry forcing instant roll-backs of new laws by hurting the consumers to "prove" the law is "harmful".

  • Israeli army tells Palestinians to temporarily evacuate parts of Rafah ahead of an expected assault
  • Horrific civilian death toll as the IDF "mistakenly" bombs the very safe zones where they told people to go in 3, 2, 1...

  • The Genocide Charge Against Israel Is a Moral Obscenity
  • You're doing Lord Baphomet's work here, but I think I'm good. Thanks though!

  • Indigenous services minister to table First Nations water bill as early as Monday
  • American here: in this case "table" means "submit for a vote"?

  • Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed House
  • *tract, apparently.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Okay, this is like the third time The Frighteners has come up this week; the universe is telling me to rewatch that movie!

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • "We've secretly replaced Chet's coffee with a Pershing missile, let's see if he notices..."

  • What led you to sign up on Reddit early on?
  • Back in 2006/2007 I was reading Slashdot for tech news and stuff. I started noticing that a lot of newer content was just linking to Reddit posts, so I figured I'd cut out the middleman and jumped ship to Reddit.

  • Post bad/mediocre anime with good openings
  • How dare you directly call out Fafner in the Azure in this manner!?

  • Takehito Koyasu's voice is instantly recognizable for me, anyone else?
  • You guys sure pronounce "Mu La Flaga" weird...

  • Takehito Koyasu's voice is instantly recognizable for me, anyone else?
  • Crap, I was going to write Tsuda-san and Hayami Saori but got distracted by video clips! -_-;

  • Texas secessionists feel more emboldened than ever
  • A blatant lie. In 2020, 66% of the voting population actually voted - and this was a record high! Of those, 46.48% voted for Biden/Harris. So that's just under 1/3rd, or 30.68% of the voting population of Texas.

    Now, do I feel for these folks? Yes. Is it terrible that they're being disenfranchised by their state and local governments at every turn? Also yes. Is this going to make me feel at all bad if the state whose main claim to fame is keeping slavery going an extra 2 years splits off, only to get gobbled up by Mexico?

    Not in the slightest.

  • Takehito Koyasu's voice is instantly recognizable for me, anyone else?
  • Other male actors I can pretty much instantly recognize:

    Some female VAs I can spot regularly, although I have a harder time here as many female VAs have excellent ranges:

  • Texas secessionists feel more emboldened than ever
  • Good... and also "bye".

  • British Police are Using Period Tracker Data and Blood Tests To Investigate Patients Who Miscarry
  • Yeah, have you tried just... being @[email protected] ? Their experience is obviously superior, why would you want to be anybody else? /s

  • CSS - "We have a New Official Wiki! (also some state of dev)"

    Last update before everyone goes on vacation, looks like.
