Estoy buscando comunidad mexicana de Battletech (un juego de mesa de los 80's de mechas, inspiró videojuegos como MechWarrior). Me ha costado trabajo porque a) no hay distribuidores en el país* y b) no estoy dispueste a hacerme un facebook. Manda DM si teinteresa o si te gustan los robots gigantes.
Portada de la caja de Battletech: A Game of Armored Combat, edición 40 aniversario. Muestra a un Awesome disparando sus 3 PPC's al frente. A su lado hay infantería, ayudando a mostrar la escala del mech. En la parte izquierda de la portada se avista un Shadow Hawk. A la derecha, sale una Catapult. Un Jenner, mech ligero que corre muy rápido, le da la vuelta a un Wolverine y a un Shadow Hawk. El Wolverine se ha sobrecalentado intentando darle al Jenner. Tanto el Wolverine como el Shadow Hawk le han dado la espalda a un Vindicator fuera de la foto, el cual ha estado aprovechando la distracción para dispararles.

Brush Burial: Gutter World is OUT NOW.
it's a lite immersive sim with tightly interconnected levels, a melee combat system based on positioning and counterattacks, and almost a hundred cosmetics to unlock.
you can get it on Steam, and play the demo there as well.

What's it called when you know someone's bullshitting you but you go along with what they're saying because it's what you wanted to do anyway?

There's probably a word in German for that...

been thinking about this for a while
base defense refits of ARAR units

any excuse to draw signalis. any excuse to draw the SMG II

more notes in alt
Base defense patrol refits of two ARAR units, KFB39-05 “Lucina” (back) and KFB39-04 “Juno” (foreground). Both have close-range sets of equipment, featuring presumably grenade pouches on the up-armoring ballistic vest and at submachine gun magazines in vertical pouches attached as well. Lucina in particular features a thigh-mounted soft case with what I personally imagine to be repair supplies. Additional helmets are present, although Juno’s is seemingly field-repaired, further damage and missing optic implying some amount of combat being recent. ——— I’ve always really enjoyed how the straps on like, the Storch and the Star units look, but I’ve always thought of how the existence of the SAPR implies there’s just variants on the base frames of some of the replikas in this universe. Reading about the Ara frame and their multi-purpose nature and seemingly superior durability to something like the Eule had me wondering if they’d be like, the rank-and-file chassis for second line purposes, especially being suited for repair and all. Anyway yeah I just wanted to try to figure out this fit for myself. Haha.

Brigador Killers was originally going to be a 40k reskin of #Brigador where you played as a Dreadnought, but ultimately I didn't like the terms so then we tried some different stuff, then we came back and asked ourselves:

"What if you could get out of the mech?"

BAM +5 years of dev time lol

jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie

let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours
Donkey Kong Was Originally A Popeye Game Miyamoto says Nintendo's main monkey might not have existed Posted by Tom East on 25th Nov 2009 at 09:56 10 Donkey Kong is one of the most iconic games characters of all time but he may not have existed had Nintendo followed their original idea. In the latest 'Iwata Asks' interview, Shigeru Miyamoto admits that Donkey Kong was originally meant to be a Popeye game. "I sketched out a few ideas for games using Popeye," said Miyamoto. "At that point, Yokoi-san was good enough to bring these ideas to the President's attention and in the end one of the ideas received official approval. Yokoi-san thought that designers would become necessary members of development teams in order to make games in the future. And that's how Donkey Kong came about." "But originally it was going to be a Popeye game," Iwata continued. "That's right," Miyamoto responded. "But while I can't recall exactly why it was, we were unable to use Popeye in that title. It really felt like the ladder had been pulled out from under us, so to speak." "It was a really lucky break! So next we began to flesh out the idea for a game based on the concept we had come up with." Imagine a world without Donkey Kong. No Donkey Kong would mean no Jumpman. And without Jumpman we wouldn't have Mario! Tom East

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

By popular request, I have added this design to my reprint store
rawpaw.ink/collections/...
It will be available there going forward.
A drawing of a grim reaper drifting in a toyota sprinter across a grid landscape in front of the outline of downtown detroit, with a big skull looking over it and a wingding in the corner with a skull and cross bones, a vertical black block down the side of it says "extreme danger!" big text at the bottom says "lilies are toxic to cats! Do not expose your pet cat to lilies it's very bad for them!"

it seems to be borderline impossible for a huge chunk of TTRPG designers to realize that players want to have fun, and you need to give them systemic tools to have fun, not just shrug and go "I hope your DM is really good at making fun without involving any game mechanics"

great thread on why the way leveling up in modern D&D sucks ass, and also sucks in MMOs that work the same way

simply put, you don't get to 'play the game' (do cool things, fulfill the promise of your character's idea) until you hit a specific point - and it's terrible! It's the opposite of fun!

There's a common phenomenon in *mainly* dnd & trpgs descended therefrom, which i'll call a problem (but others don't see that way), which is the huge level gulfs (and resultant weeks or months or eternities) between when a feature is gained and when a build "comes online".

Many thoughts about this.

Since it's on my mind again, here's me playing the final mission in MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries a few years ago

A reminder that for every billion dollars made on PC gaming, Newell pockets $300m.

He keeps out of the public eye better than some billionaires, but he is still a libertarian billionaire, and billionaires should not exist.

Todavía pensando en mi visita el sábado a un comedor Hare Krishna llamado Govinda Ram. Estaban poniendo de música cosas como Depeche Mode y Kraftwerk. Me mejoró el día tremendamente enterarme que le decían a DM "Depechuga". "Te gusta Depechuga?" Sí, sí me encanta Depechuga.

kinda reminds me of something i saw on mastodon the other day about how a lot of people who are obsessed with AI hype are simply unfamiliar with automation tools. they apparently think "human hackers" are limited by how fast your fingers can type & can't like. automate sending requests really easily

This shit about agentic AI executing a cyber attack with "thousands of requests, often multiple per second—an attack speed that would have been, for human hackers, simply impossible to match" coming out of Anthropic is such marketing bullshit.
