Or should I just work the post-game of Splatoon Raiders? I enjoyed the early game of raiders but found the late game kind of boring since it was mostly just a dps race. I ended up running a bunch of degenerate AOE stuff on cooldown rather than feeling like I was playing in a particularly skillful way. Not sure if the post-game for raiders gets better eventually or, alternatively, if Splatoon 3 side order is actually any better in that regard.

Thoughts on picking it up while it's on sale?

I've never played any of the front mission games, though I'm interested because I love mechs and SRPGs. All of the remake reviews I've seen focus almost exclusively on whether or not the remake component is worth it, which in turn means they spend basically the entire time discussing the graphics.

I couldn't care less.

What I'd like to understand is whether or not the gameplay and tactical decisions are interesting when considered against more modern options. Considering the wealth of options available to us today are the Front Mission games fun and worth the time to play absent any nostalgia for the series?

I am playing with a very extensive load order which I then customize extensively through the game options menu. The list is honestly on the order of a couple hundred different options I need to set any time I start a new game (which I do often as I fiddle with my mod list).

Is there any way to change the defaults so I don't have to spend 20 minutes every new game in the options menu? Would also be happy to export a json and load it in, or something if there's some console command that does that.

Is anyone aware of a way of assessing how much mod "budget" we have?

By that I mean there seem to be some very real limits on the number of mods we can install along a number of dimensions and it's not super clear to me where I am on any of them until things start to break with infinite load times, objects failing to load, or CTDS (and yes, I fully restart the game after changing a load order). I'm pretty sure there are at least a few dimensions that limit how many mods can be loaded, some possibilities that I think may bind:

  • Total size (in Gb) -- Sammy and the lab of nightmares which is ~1.6 Gb breaks for me unless I also unload ~2 GB of other mods first

  • Total number of formids -

WTF is the point of stealth if the devs are just going to shiv you for using it? I play blind ironman so my choices matter and I'm incentivized to not just mindlessly full clear everything like some murderhobo.

Enter the Temple of Eothas, second floor, room with two sarcophagi and half the shades in the game. Any reasonable person would conclude that that's not a fight worth taking so lets try sneaking in to grab the goods. "No, fuck you" say the devs as they spawn a phantom out of nowhere right on the exit to alert the full room.

Cool, I've been successfully taught that I can only brute force encounters, which leaves open the question of why I would try even continue trying to play iron

Brewed a new deck. Half and half creatures and removal, more or less--it's quite strong against other creature decks, but lots of dead draws against enchantments, etc. First day I was running it in platinum where I guess the matchmaker wasn't sure what to do with it and I had something won something like 10 out of 15 games. Losing 3 of the 5 to control or mill decks.

Today? 15 games in a row where the other player never played a creature. Full control or mill, nothing else.

Tinfoil hat officially engaged. I know for a fact that that's not a fair representation of the field because if I queue with another deck suddenly I'm actually facing creatures again.

WTF is this matchmaking?

I noticed the EoE precons are now available in the store. Anyone have any insight into whether or not they're worth purchasing? Do they play well?

Relatedly: Why are they different from the paper precons? How do they compare to the paper precons (counterintelligence and worldshaper)? The paper versions have reviewed well but I haven't found any commentary on the Arena brawl versions....

Howdy,

I'm an old man that knows very little about pokemon as a franchise or the game itself (I've played minuscule amounts of magic/hearthstone/gwent so I'm not totally hopeless, just no pokemon). My young daughter, however, is enthralled and her birthday is coming up--I'd like some advice from y'all on how to best engage her.

long story, short, I want to try to deliver her birthday/christmas presents in a memorable way while also guiding her (and I suppose my) play experience in an enjoyable and sustainable way. What I'm thinking about doing is setting up gym battles for her where she has to beat me in order to win pre-constructed decks.

For example: she has the 2024 battle academy and

See here for original post on prusa3d.com including the pictures: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-xl-tool-changer-how-do-i-print-this-printing-help/filament-accumulating-on-nozzle/

I have filament accumulating on the nozzle during the course of printing. It appears as a little ball that grows in size over time before eventually falling off and starting again. The main problem is that these little poops can end up anywhere, including attaching to the rest of the print and marring the surface.

This is a gradual process where it seems some portion of the extruded material is just collecting on the nozzle as it goes--this is NOT a result of the nozzle crashing into something an

In order to for fighters to attack bombers they must be in base-to-base contact. If I were to surround my bomber wings with fighters of my own such that base-to-base contact is not possible would that effectively block the attack action?

Hey,

I'm very interested in Dropfleet but don't know nearly enough to understand what would comprise reasonable lists or how to efficiently enter the game. Unfortunately my hand is being forced a bit as I would like to buy in before tariffs take hold and make everything 30% more expensive, so I feel I basically need to make a purchase decision ASAP to get it across the pond in time....

Could someone recommend what I should buy with a budget of approximately $300-$350 to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for two players? My preferred factions are probably UCM and Resistance, though I've heard resistance is quite hard to play and the starter kit being bioficers seems like it forces me
