Well... Technically pescetarian but that's so infrequent

#

I'd like to be vegan but... Eg

#

🥚

west phoenix
#

I don't really eat red meat which i know is not even the same, but i could not give up fish and chicken

#

EGG?!

#

RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW?

tame tide
#

Surely I can't be an egg twice in my life

#

Could never

west phoenix
#

Egg squared

zinc topaz
#

i rarely eat red meat but yeah fish and eggs and chicken

west phoenix
#

I haven't had eggs in a while but i bake with them a lot

zinc topaz
#

i loooove baking

west phoenix
#

Maybe i should make a juicy omelette once i get a job...

zinc topaz
#

i'm so excited to have my own kitchen

west phoenix
tame tide
#

I want to have the Calliope spacer salad

#

I should buy the ingredients one time and just wing it

west phoenix
#

Even living with my polycule i was like get out, mama is busy

tame tide
#

Then I'll post a review

west phoenix
zinc topaz
#

enlighten me

#

what is this

west phoenix
#

Add some nuts in there (i forget if they already are)

#

Speaking of which i gotta make a late breakfast BRB

#

oooh

#

sweet potatoes are top 3 crops i think

#

i could eat sweet potatoes with every meal every day and never get sick of them

tame tide
#

I don't think I've cooked with barley

#

Kale I could fry, sweet potato I could microwave for a bit then shove in the oven, that goes well... For the many seeds they could just be added when done or toasted/fried for a bit... Deffo the peanuts

#

I'll do it later this week :P

#

Soybeans, probably could go in with the leaves??? Maybe drained or not idk...

#

Maybe add it early and boil away the water, let it reduce... But Idk how that'd cook with the leaves

#

Oh barley could potentially just be cooked, then chuck the soybeans in near the end IG... Or start

#

I guess I fry the leaves and seeds elsewhere

#

Sorry just using this Channel as my food theorising

#

I love cooking

zinc topaz
#

I also love cooking . and baking

#

one of my friends' birthdays is soon which gives me an excuse to make her tiramisu

tame tide
#

Maybe cutting up the sweet potato and roasting it would be better?

#

HELL YEAG

#

I need to bake more

west phoenix
#

i love cooking until i don't

#

sometimes something comes up and i'm like shit, i don't have time for this today

tame tide
#

Yeah, I love cooking unless I lack energy

#

But that's just life innit

west phoenix
#

#

Chapter 2 spoilers: ||we're doing Themopylae rn. there are 3 veterans, an elite, and two normal enemies against four of us. oh god. our GM wasn't kidding about getting to go all out||

west phoenix
#

its funny our players are so good that sounds like an average encounter

timber verge
#

🤔 I imagine death isn’t intended in an average IGF game but if it were to happen does the core book address it? I can’t imagine Hells Gate has cloning infrastructure

noble ivy
#

your pilot shows up in a locked closet left 4 dead 2 style

tame tide
#

Death is incredibly rare in lancer... Id honestly just say the TTRPG classic, hand them an empty character sheet

#

I have opinions on flash cloning as a mechanic and where it's put into the CRB in lancer

timber verge
#

Fair, though some of IGF’s later plot beats sort of assume you’re playing the same pilot from session 1

#

Fair

#

I forget what the normal gestation duration of a clone is

fast umbra
timber verge
#

O.o

tame tide
#

My personal potentially hot take is that cloning should be in the GM section of the CRB. Putting it where it is puts an unhealthy expectation of what to expect from death in lancer and massively trivialises something that should still be a greater thing. Of a thing that is also morally and ethically dubious with in game law and morals

timber verge
#

Mhm mhm. Fair

balmy obsidian
#

(ch2) ||The next fight is gonna be fun BlitzSmile ||

fast umbra
west phoenix
#

i am a fan of killing characters

#

like they are actively in danger all the time, it's just straight up unreasonable that there's no chance they die

timber verge
#

Mhm mhm mhm

#

Like (spoilers for chapter 4 of IGF) ||the scene where you see the sim of the recruitment of the SRT felt really dissonant for my pilot because I joined my IGF campaign during chapter 3 so he wasn’t there lol, and I imagine if you did that for a new pilot post death it would be a similar feeling, but like shrug that’s one scene lmao||

dire cloud
#

||It was extra funny for us because there was only one member of the SRT who was there for chapter 1.||

timber verge
#

LMAOOOOOO

tame tide
#

It's very hard to kill pilots in lancer in general ngl

#

If you do wreck a mech it's hardly worth it to shoot the pilot unless the pilot is stupid or has a death wish

shell bison
#

Literally pirate cataphract

tame tide
#

Pirates are wack

timber verge
#

True

shell bison
#

prying claws, steal the pilot, now you got a hostage

tame tide
#

OWS final fight I was a support in basically max hp and I had no guns cos they got wrecked so I gave control to my NHP and ejected

ancient crag
west phoenix
#

honestly characters dying can be great for the narrative

#

i always give my GM permission to blast me to kingdom fuck unless it's like, really stupid

minor orchid
#

certainly person loves to do it too, wonder who is

tame tide
#

Any situation it's possible for a PC to die instantly id clear lay on the table

#

If that's consequences for a roll or in combat

#

Like, if some MFer does a black thumb rodeo and an ultra pulls out the SCL I'll tell them "btw this will just kill you"... Otherwise death to me would happen the "usual" ways... Failing the down and out roll or the other method I'm stealing from wildsea. "If you would break at max burdens, choose: regular break at 3 burdens downside, or die"

west phoenix
#

why would you not choose the regular break?

tame tide
#

If the player thinks it'd make a better story

#

You said yourself "i always give my GM permission to blast me to kingdom fuck unless it's like, really stupid"

#

After saying that are you saying you'd always choose just to break again?

west phoenix
#

i thought you meant for a mechanical reason!!!!

tame tide
#

Wdym

willow needle
#

-# i honestly prefer character death to be for the narrative only, aka, if the player wants the death to be avoidable, or they can return if they die, or they can 100% die, its all okay. Players can be very into building the story of their characters just for a day of bad luck with the dice to completely throw all that effort to the trash.

dire cloud
tame tide
#

I disagree and I'll die on that hill

dire cloud
#

It deals 1 structure damage. That's damage, which is prevented by the shield.

#

Ironically, if you succeed, you're reduced to 1 HP, which is not prevented.

tame tide
#

Nope, inflicting structure is not damage

west phoenix
# tame tide Wdym

like... i thought there was a mechanically reason you wouldn't choose the regular break, not narrative

tame tide
#

It's removing structure. Damage is explicitly, kinetic, energy, explosive and burn. Structure damage is none of those

dire cloud
#

Damage is damage.

west phoenix
#

otherwise who gives a shit if they die

#

just because lil timmy made a new OC?

tame tide
#

That was in response to the SCL Vs black thumb rodei

west phoenix
#

ok

#

too bad

#

i made up new context and i'm right joyous

balmy obsidian
#

i'm left

west phoenix
#

the woke left?

balmy obsidian
#

yup

#

went away

west phoenix
#

without saying goodbye?!

balmy obsidian
#

yup

minor orchid
tame tide
#

In a game where death is uncommon. I'm happy giving control to the character death to their player unless they're truly and utterly silly

#

It's up to them if they wish to conclude the chapter of their character on a dead end of a good ending

#

I can trust my players to do so

balmy obsidian
#

I so far have not lived through a moement where my character dying would make for a more compelling or fun story for me

tame tide
#

And if they get shot by 50 billion mechs individually and choose to live every time then I can just chat at them OC about it

#

I trust my players

balmy obsidian
#

then again, the games i've played before where not all that narratively involved

west phoenix
#

yeah i think at the end of the day you have to have good players to handle it respectfully but those are in short supply

willow needle
#

like to each their own and their own tables! i dont think its something to disagree or agree, for me i just prefer to respect the wishes of my players, if they dont care if their character die, if they are okay with death but want to return with consequences, or they just dont want to die.... this is about having fun, and make a group story :D

balmy obsidian
#

i am the worst player

west phoenix
#

we know

tame tide
#

We know

balmy obsidian
west phoenix
#

i think i'm a bad player and GM and then i see how other people do things and i'm like ah could always be worse

tame tide
#

But yeah, this is how I handle death... But I hold no jurisdiction over your games

west phoenix
#

i would also run it like that because i know my opinion is the minority

tame tide
#

/j

west phoenix
#

no you get it more than most tbh

#

some people are like "my character will never die ever!!!!!"

timber verge
#

LOL

west phoenix
#

woe, natural causes be upon ye

balmy obsidian
#

hi

cobalt zealot
#

I prefer stories where the characters don't die in the course of the adventure

#

Does that takes some of the stakes out of it? Sure, but like

timber verge
#

Definitely think it’s just a session 0 “hey how cool are we w character death” question

cobalt zealot
#

There are always other consequences to death

west phoenix
#

i love my blorbo like a child but if the time goes to pink mistify her i say go for it

timber verge
#

I value narrative cohesion and satisfaction above most everything else lol

cobalt zealot
#

In the Exalted campaign we're doing there are so many outcomes that could be negative that aren't death that we've all just kinda agreed that if we'd die we're instead mortally injured.

tame tide
#

I think I have an incredibly disconnect for my characters

#

"yeah, they could be utterly obliterated"

timber verge
#

For me it absolutely depends on the character lol

willow needle
#

yeah i like when there's always high stakes even if the character never truly dies. in my strahd game 2 characters have already died but they have returned as they accepted a pact with a dark god :D

cobalt zealot
#

Like

balmy obsidian
#

my biggest problem is that, like, i think for a character death to be satisfying it has to happen at "the end"

cobalt zealot
#

Our Solar could very well die

#

And then come back as an Abyssal

#

Which would be an enormous problem

tame tide
west phoenix
west phoenix
cobalt zealot
#

i can accept like

balmy obsidian
#

because if it doesn't then either the player leaves the table, which sucks, or they make a new character, and then there's this awkward part where we have to pretend not to know this person and depending on how far we are in the campaign we won't have enough time to get to know them for there to be good stakes

cobalt zealot
#

a self-sacrifice that finishes up the campaign

west phoenix
#

my reaction

#

it can be good but i think its just overdone

#

its much more shocking if its just like, mid campaign or something

tame tide
#

This is why I have my players roll a hull check every in game day and if they fail their character dies of dysentry and restarts at LL0

#

Normalise death

minor orchid
#

wonderful hehe

tame tide
#

Anyway, anyone want to join my IGF game? Just started mission 3 and I have 5/5 spots available

tame tide

I wouldn't

I'll point and laugh

||If I ran wallflower again I'd probably make them elite vet, potentially elite vet commander or potentially just an ultra||

#

they took the name too literally

tame tide
#

I have good plans for if I reran wallflower

#

Long story short I'd basically run no of the combats as written

west phoenix
#

i'm happy with my changes

tame tide
#

Id basically make it a blood money mercenary campaign

west phoenix
#

oh shit

#

that could work, i see the vision ||i'm considering using the base building aspect for act 2 mycol fields||

willow needle
tame tide
#

||Mission 1:
Player choice: venom, protect the engineers, something new and relevant
Mission 2:
As written
Mission 3:
2-3 totally new combats which imply the existence of the machine,
big rest
Investigate the machine to sepulchre
Either 1-2 combats before roadblock. Potentially like a concept I've had for a while of 6 mini combats (I can elaborate on that later)
The run roadblock
Mission 4a
Probs run as written, maybe add 1 or 2 more options
Mission 4b,
Same, maybe add 2 more options before the summit, then potentially replace full rest with partial or add multiple combats post summit
Mission 5
Run as is||

west phoenix
#

i fuck with it

#

i like the narrative pacing as is but the first half of the module is definitely undercooked content wise

#

||2 combats for chapter 3 is rough||

tame tide
#

It's silly

west phoenix
#

hipo you didn't see that

tame tide
#

It worked to fit in for a uni society within an academic year

You can heal so much if you prevent your allies from taking damage in the first place

west phoenix

considering how much i've been having to shoot and invade enemies yeah i am considering moving away from FA but that's like, the whole build rn

You won’t need to heal so much if you armor max!!!

its incredibly in character for serenity to support max but idk if it's 'optimal'

west phoenix

Counter point: Leviathan Cannon the fool who dares

it can just say no to the invisibility and being pulled into the shrouds

i like to think i have a part in that by just ignoring pulling people into the shroud completely and blasting them with devouring shard lmao

Armour is cool, unfortunately everything in lancer has a counter. And some of them suck to go against more than others

That’s what makes a game fun

#

Unfortunately the orchis is good. But it isn't as effective the other teammates with heavy weapons that you can just kill easier. With something like a pesky orchis... They can annoy but they can't kill

They can spend a whole combat locking down one enemy... And honestly, that can be quite a good deal

Unlike an orchis

clever cloud

noble ivy

#

lancer is a good game

west phoenix
#

honestly at LL2 eleonor has taken the most damage and used the most repairs lmao

clever cloud
#

Im out here drawing aggro*

west phoenix
#

idk why i've focused you, i think you're just there

clever cloud
#

im just always in the center

tame tide
#

I ran one shot/playtest combat last weekend

#

I think I did like... 1 structure whole combat

clever cloud
#

oooof

tame tide
#

But the PCs did struggle

#

It was a bizarre combat... The players did NOT take their win on a silver platter it was actually close

west phoenix
#

honestly in my wf game there's no like objective presence with my enemies because they die, but attrition is insane lmao

#

its the opposite of our igf game

tame tide
#

Actually

west phoenix
#

yeah, pretty much

tame tide
#

Yeah in which case you're doing well IMo

west phoenix
#

al they're going to die next combat, even more so if they decide to take the optional one

#

they have nothing left lmao

tame tide
#

Rip

#

Love seeing Eleonor implying she's immune to the game then hearing meow going "the teams got nothing"

#

That's how you counter an orchis

west phoenix
#

its early on tbf

#

it will get much harder for me lol

tame tide
#

||rebake pyros with the aoe heat on entering||

west phoenix
#

you right you right

tame tide
#

||Most orchis' shouldnt be able to get close for too long||

west phoenix
#

||during Abaddon i could use the lurker to drag her into a pyro lmao||

tame tide
#

||Anything that inflicts hull saves||

tame tide
west phoenix
#

||aaaaah no, but they do have an accuracy when in the zone. it will only be LL3 so it shouldn't be too high right? right???||

clever cloud
#

wf spoilers i assume?

west phoenix
#

and general strats to kill you

clever cloud
#

yaaay

west phoenix
#

honestly i'm not too worried about it, i'll just kill everyone else

#

until you do 5d6 damage to me

clever cloud
#

I really like the orchis and i love that im getting my ass beat

#

because the orchis is so fun to plaaaaay

#

every turn is a puzzle

tame tide
west phoenix
#

its why i like the sunzi as well

tame tide
#

Ooh that's how you counter an orchis

west phoenix
#

especially FA sunzi

tame tide

No

Have I mentioned when my orchis:
Overcharged -> 1/3 chance to stress -> stressed -> 5% chance to cascade -> cascade

west phoenix
#

deserved

#

next LL roland gets to roll 2 cascade checks :)

tame tide
#

Wait you're orchis is also an NHP

#

Gaming

west phoenix
#

he's the worst

#

funny story: bro has not been cycled for 500 years and is not(?) cascading

#

(wf) ||the O/K siblings|| are going to be pissed when they find that out Draculul

minor orchid
noble ivy
west phoenix
#

if roland was in calliope he would be dead

#

we've discussed this

#

the only reason they haven't beat his ass in wf is because they really need him

#

bro is a diet steele/ignatius hybrid

tame tide
#

||patience: panicking after B1s cascade signal has been getting to them. When they have been cycled and nothing has changed. And is worried and desperate||

||Roland: "skill issue"||

west phoenix
#

literally happened

#

i'm not kidding

#

(wf) ||roland was already infected with the cynosure so when B1's cynosure emp went off (long story) roland was like... huh, that was inconvenient while patience, opportunity, and a player's NHP are all going like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"||

#

eleonor can read my message :)

Are his parents not married

30% for act 1

west phoenix

30?!

#

That makes more sense

#

||he uses his religious ties to manipulate people except unlike mendicant, he's really bad at it||

#

eleonor i am so excited for you to meet this character

#

its going to be so funny

clever cloud

what the fuck did i sign up for, im so excited

(wf, ch3) ||With the B1 emp, Roland was like "oh shit oh fuck turn it off!!.... welp.. well shit i guess we're gonna get fucked for a while. sigh. Alright everyone, pack up, it's gonna be a loooong week.||

west phoenix

that was the whole party's reaction except skali xD

||Look, if you're gonna kill me, could you do it quickly? I have dinner plans and this is really inconvenient.||

west phoenix

||Roland is going to die before act 1 finishes or outlive everyone else by act 3 and no in between||

thats hilarious

clever cloud
#

i already have 1 burden and 4/8 Stress

tame tide
#

You have 3 for a reason

#

Use them

west phoenix
#

she asked for me to give him a burden

#

he didn't even apply

tame tide
#

Aura

clever cloud
#

i was already 7/8 just before downtime and some narrative stuff happened that made a lot of sense!!

tame tide
#

You too, can stare god in the eyes and say "break my ribs rq"

#

And then god does it

#

That's what asking for a burden is

#

I can't wait for my newest character to get her first burde

clever cloud
#

Vergil will be not be Burdened!

tame tide
#

My first burden was going deaf after detonating an explosive in a submarine

west phoenix
clever cloud
#

He's too cool and powerful to have flaws or make mistakes

west phoenix
#

between roland and vergil i'm also bullying eleonor in game too

#

they are so annoying /pos

clever cloud

somehow ive typecasted myself into the party asshole

See, my maps aren't that bad they were able to actually win

IM SORRRRYYYY THATS NOT WHAT I SAID

I truly believe it's just that my players are pessimistic little shits at the end of the sessions

just from exhaustion

west phoenix

balmy obsidian

Look I know you can't bear to not see me for more than 30 minutes but you'll have to be strong today

west phoenix
#

also oh my god none of my squad ever uses anything

tame tide
#

The players didn't get to ||max enemy attention so I dropped bad star on them alone... I just turned it into a narrative clock of the players hurling insults at him whilst buying time... I had two clocks:

  • patience

And

  • apocalypse rail charge||
west phoenix

the mfers to save magnum ammo until the final resident evil boss and they just have 24 bullets in reserve

HAHA

im an asshole

omg same bestie

balmy obsidian

You're not just an asshole you're also a lot of different non-asshole body parts

tame tide

||my players bought time by throwing out great insults at bad star in turn he'd dig his grave deeper and deeper until he racked his shotgun for the 6th time and went "anyway, any last words?"

"Yes, die"
And then one shot him with a direct apocalypse rail shot||

I already forgot who said it but ||"Do you last longer in bed than in the ring, or..?"||

For the post chapter 5 ||hellfire leagues finals downtime. I had one more idea of a competitor... Introducing one shot wonder! A displacer lich. Because it was the finals, when they weren't fighting howl I had them for this round not roll and just narrate for shits and gigs. And for one shot wonder the main punchline was that any damage they took I'd follow with "CRUSHING THE COCKPIT, KILLING THE PILOT INSTANTLY" and I did this like 4 times||

#

||and I was like... Well, a second player needs to have another round in the leagues... So I need another competitor. So I reintroduced BAD STAR!

BASICALLY he appeared and said "now you have no anti capital ship weapon to Carry the fight, you're screwed" followed by just saying "how do you wanna do this"||

#

||my player just shot him like once or twice and the fight was done||

||I miss one shot wonder though||

update on this crap:

  • it's not TrueNAS OS's fault. OpenMediaVault also installs just fine and then green screens after grub menu
  • tested on different monitor with different cable, same deal.
  • Likely outcome is BIOS bug relating to integrated graphics. Or, OS's are prepackaging versions of amd gpu drivers incompatible with this iGPU

Solutions:

  • figure out how to boot into just a shell inside OS. If i can do that, it's a gpu issue and maybe i can configure drivers via shell
