Horse archers are amazing lmao. If you’re throwing them directly into the front lines they will be fucked several times over. Understand: they are merely archers that can quickly reposition. This makes them one of the best units in the game.

Deploy them to the far flank and reposition them frequently. They are excellent at drawing out the enemy cavalry so you can harass them, hit them with your own cav, etc. Big block of infanty? Harassing fire. Other horse archers? Wait for them to engage your footed archers and then deploy your horse archers to double up on them.

Their weakness, as you’ve noticed, is large blocks of powerful foot archers. That is what your cavalry or heavy infantry is for. Once your other forces engage, then deploy your horse archers. They’re a reserve force and a force multiplier.

Ooo, that could be too.

The Astartes would totally be on the side of Sauron. They’re brainwashed child soldiers filled with xenophobia and hate. Definitely makes more sense for them to be Orcs - actually that’s basically what Orcs are in Tolkien.

Well, I didn’t know I needed punk/emo Peach (Bowser?), but I do now.

As always…mass transit is better than personal EVs.

I don’t think we should compare subs to facists, that’s pretty insulting

Mass Effect 2 and 3 are up there with some of the best shooters I’ve played. It’s just so smooth. And the weight/CDR system is incredibly simple yet impactful. I’ve played through 3 several times. Yes, the story beats weren’t always great. Still fun.

EDIT: Since we’re posting favorite builds: Sentinel gang. What’s that, I have access to literally everything you need to beat any enemy? Yes please.

"If the US Fish and Wildlife Service is now going to start to manage social conflicts between animals, where does this end?”

Bravo. If the spotted owl was actually important to the ecosystem, then fine, go for it. It the barred owl handles the exact same niche, but better…what the fuck are we doing? Put a small population in a sanctuary and do something more important.

I mean, Thanos isn’t even that tough. Most of the people fighting him were just human+ power level (notice how they specifically de-powered the Hulk for that fight?). A lot of characters could take him relatively easily.

Somebody mentioned Kerrigan. Yup. Zeratul would ‘Nothing Personnel, Kid’ the purple guy. Talandar (formerly Fenix) could fuck him up in a straight fight - the dude has died twice, he ain’t afraid of shit. All of the Zerg charcters, probably.

The Doomslayer, obv.

An entire collection of characters from Diablo. Good old Tyrael would bust him open, but any of the angel or demon characters could do that.

Kinda want to put him in a room with Jack of Blades. Nothing kills a supervillan like another supervillan.

Oh, I’ll be voting.

For Claudia De La Cruz.

EDIT: People hard mad about this lmao

" A moderator on the game’s Discord server, for instance, said “watching u all cry, amuses me so much,” while another said on Reddit that complaints about weapon nerfs were perhaps in reality a question of “skill issue.” "

Are you kidding? That’s fucking hilarious. Learn to use a different weapon than the railgun you absolute chuffs.

This is just the Iroquois Confederacy with extra steps.

Yep that’s what I meant to say lol. Also a healthcare worker, and I agrew on the obesity problem. I’ve seen a couple different work comp claims for nurses that were injured trying to move/help very large patients, and it’s a bit messed up. When we reach the point that we need mechanical assistance to move you, something’s gotta change. Trying to shame people into changing their habits demonstrably doesn’t work, so we need to be looking at other options.

Healthcare accounts for around 1 to 5% of carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the meat industry accounts for about 35% of carbon emissions.

Yah, healthcare is absolutely not the problem. Feel bad about the environmental impact of your medicine? You could probably make up for it with like one less meat meal a week.

EDIT: Archive.org link to bypass paywall for the article OP linked. Good read; they estimate healthcare as 8% of total emissions. Reading through, it seems it mostly focuses on insulin pens (which are an absolute godsend). I can’t help but think that attempting to recycle those is entirely the wrong strategy, and that we should instead focus on reducing diabetes cases in the first place. Losing weight, reducing sat fats, and eating fiber are all correlated with reduction of diabetes risk. I think we need some good old big-government regulation to start penalizing foods that have those things in them. We’re all paying the price for them already, time to start making the corporations do it instead.

Surprised MN isn’t up there. We’ve been handing out the subsidies for them.

Ballin

This was a hard ‘no’ from me until I read the article. Let’s be honest with ourselves - either we foster these sort of closed gardens or we go play in the infinite shit-filled sandbox the rest of the Internet is becoming. This honestly just sounds like moving to an RSS-only model, which is something I could get behind.

Life hack: if you don’t eat meat you don’t need to worry about meatborne illnesses.

Stop making SUVs.

Please don’t. We need to be reducing air travel, not increasing it. Go invent a quiet supersonic train or something.
