He was seen on camera, also the body was found.

There appears to be some confusion about this online, so here it is plain and simple: Murdering corporate executives is evil.

"Beheading monarchs is irredeemably evil" - some bootlicker during the french revolution, probably.

"Good job, 47. Now exfiltrate the area."

Too bad he didn't go for the silent assassin rating.

I guess we're going to have to go over this, so both parties working policy on rural areas pretty much comes down to "go fuck yourself, lol". Neither party will say that out loud, but the slight difference in their marketing strategy in rural areas has been that the Republican party heavily implies an offer to spite urban liberals as much as possible. Which one of the many reasons why election maps tend to end up looking like the above.

Now I'm pretty sure we all know big city liberals are very infuriating, let's just say they really don't do themselves any favors the farther away from a big city they go. Like we're talking full on detached (much more than normal) from reality, to the level that if asked a lot of rural people would love to have them shoved up against a wall. Also to be nice and blunt about this, some people here on hexbear tend to exhibit the same thing as the "big city liberal" a bit at times.

I'm pretty sure that's more because it's tradition to use she/her for vehicles/machines. Like how sailors refer to their boats as she/her, it's also pretty common for older cars, and I've heard it done for machines too.

I can't help but think of this scene in king of the hill when I think of fun acronyms for Ford. https://youtu.be/3AJCdmW33fM

I perpose an exemption, the 100 mile limit doesn't apply to chains that have less than 50ish locations.

and suck up business that should be going to locally owned operations.

Most of the time when it comes to local restaurants (at least in rural southern ohio), a lot of them either sucks, more expensive on average compared to chains (always a given regardless of quality), or have other issues (they do wage theft). Infact there was a local place that closed down recently, and I was told that they supposedly had the issue of not paying their employees at times.

Also more often than not the local places out here are either pizza places, bar and grills, "diners", or mexican (tex-mex) restaurants.

What happened more than likely is one of two things, early internet edginess, or the person paying for the site at the start did the thing that a lot of forum owners did back then "it's my forum, and I can do what I want with it".

I can't find the energy to get worked up over this in either case, mostly because there's bigger fish to fry in the grand scheme of things, and both cases were pretty common in early internet especially the latter which is where the unofficial rule 0 of forum posting comes from, don't piss off the guy paying for it.

Because it is peak white liberal performative nonsense to change the name. It's exactly what every white city dwelling liberal does when they find out something has a dark past, they change the offensive part (or do an overreaction, an example could be made for the prime directive in star trek) then pretend everything is still all hunky dory while doing effectively nothing material.

Maybe I've just had too many encounters with liberals who just never really cared at all to begin with to say that.

The Tortuga one is for my tank leg only run in 3, which it's what google translate says is spanish for turtle.

Oh, if you're playing via emulator, the PS2 armored core games is when you can start actually making your own emblems outside of the in-game editor. (link is for a converter tool) Just that you need a tool to convert it to the save format the game understands, also it image you're converting has to be a png, it can't be bigger than 128x128, can't have more than 255 colors (as the 256th 'color' is reserved for transparency). I have a couple examples below that i've done.

Be thankful, it gets a lot worse in Silent Line. I've only 100% AC:SL once, and i'm never going to do that again.

From what I remember of 2nd gen, quads stop being good partially because human plus still exists (this is largely true of 1st gen too), and that they lose the one of the niches that they had in 1st gen. Their ground speed being very comparable to boost hopping everywhere. It doesn't get better for them in 3rd gen as they've been changed to the sliding movement to normal walking movement, which while it lets quads move at the same speed of most middle weight bipeds, it also makes using their last niche (using cannon weapons while in contact on the ground) nearly impossible to use general combat. Which just makes them effectively middle weight bipeds with and absurd energy cost.

Also the karasawa in another age wasn't that useful

The Karasawa from 2nd gen onwards is for dumpstering AC opponents at mid range, and it keeps getting nerfed nearly every single game from AC2 on through to both early and late 3rd gen.

I actually never really find a build the moonlight blade fits into cos its such a high risk weapon to use.

The Moonlight is really good in 1st and 2nd gen because human plus exists, 3rd gen Moonlight (and well any blade) has the unfortunate problem of being in the gen that introduces left arm held guns which are really good for the AC v AC fights littered throughout 3rd gen. So blades at this point are pretty much the most cost efficient for clearing trash mobs.

Just started AC3 thats gonna be so hype

Btw, have a set of hover legs ready to go. Because AC3 (and 3rd gen in general) is where several missions are purposefully designed to use them to have a significantly easier time.

Now if you want one that's tedious, AC3 has that one covered as you'll likely have to complete that mission at least 3 times, 2 if you're brave on the first or second go around.

At least once to both beat it and get the CBT-FLEET booster (hidden part on the map), if you want the Moonlight laser blade you got to do it without a consort, and then there's the two OP-INTENSIFY functions from the mission (one from destroying the smaller one after it splits, and one from completion).

2:AA is a pretty bad massive MT fight, but it has nothing on the leviathan in Last Raven (the one at Alliance base, not the one on the destroy alliance forces mission, they have different stats). The one in Nexus disc 2 that is a remake of the one in AC1 is also up there too.

It did play into that at the start, then there was a small problem that the setting made no sense when put under any scrutiny, a running theme that will persist throughout battletech's lore because very few writers understand how logistics work. And so because BT wanted to pride itself on being grounded sorta grimdark, the guys at FASA had to walk back a lot of the ideas of mechs being rare, introduce limited production of new mechs, but the circlejerk over the space roman empire (Star League/Terran Hegemony) remained.

the Atlas is basically too slow (48 km/h or so) to be useful in mechwarrior 5 imo

Okay, there's other reasons why it's not good and the speed isn't the problem, it's more the lack of guns. You are significantly better off with the Stalker STK-3F with 4 medium lasers, 4 SRM6s, and 2 PPCs, and the Banshee BNC-3S with 2 PPCs, 1 AC10/LBX10, and fill the rest with medium lasers though I don't remember how many because I don't remember the vanilla MW5 mechlab hardpoint limits for that variant because vanilla MW5 mechlab is pretty trash. There's only a very small handful of mechs that can out pace the STK-3F and BNC-3S, but all of them either come way too late to actually matter, or you can only get one of them per playthrough.

without a risk of overheating

This isn't MW3, or MW4 where there's degrading effects for being at higher heat and the possibility of shutting down before filling the heat bar, MW5 uses MWO's heat system which means the only heat point that matters is the very last one. Also because there's only like maybe a handful of actually threatening units in vanilla MW5, shutting down from overheating is nowhere near as bad as it is in MWO or even previous titles. Besides, heat doesn't matter if the other guy is dead, and all the harder encounters in MW5 (both in vanilla and the DLCs) are burst DPS races.

To be fair here, have you seen dog owners? Like I have had a couple too many encounters with dogs that I wasn't sure if they wanted to lick my face or if they wanted to rip my face off.

It also doesn't help that I just don't like anything/one getting in my face for any reason to begin with. So I can understand why anyone would hate dogs.

Here's one, it's supposedly Biden's fault for not dropping out earlier.

For me, every single armored core game after last raven. Like there is just a lot lost when the series becomes designed around a regular twin stick control setup over the "bad" control scheme that the game was designed around before 4/FA.

Like it just feels much more rewarding to play and beat, and every time I play 4/FA or 6, I almost always want to go back and play 3 and Silent Line again.

I haven't played formula front, and I don't remember when that released.
