Finished Ace 08 last night and all I could think was “you fuckers offered ‘mercy’ by litterally enslaving POW’s to unfuck the lands your lifestyle ruined!” Soata is probably the most morally bankrupt nation in Strangereal, and that is saying something (glares at Belka)

I hate that such a bankrupt culture came out with such a banger of a chant.

The whole goal was to display “outside gameplay” problems as to why nobody cared to reinvest in development, glad you picked up on it.

Of course with #Mechtober today being about the Lone Wolves, i had to include some of Jackie Darwin’s Whipits. Pulled straight from Hot Spots Hinterlands temporary hires!

I hope somewhere out there is a Whipits lamp like that.

trawling discords to see about the reaction to my "Failure of the Transforming Battlefield" bit in Shrapnel, Grousing I see all has to do with gameplay & lore, while the article discussed LAMs from the perspective of a procurement and logistical cost catastrophe. These are not the same thing

it's cool mate. I never got into this gig to get fan art and applause... and that just makes it all the more precious when I get it.

3) As for my contributions to them, Jackie was not my creation, But I have already taken her and ran with it, and you can expect more from that "special kind of crazy" woman in Shrapnel soon. Like she always says. "Let's go make trouble!"

2) it was through Bryan's writing of the Wolves that I formed first a collaborative relationship, and then a friendship with the man. Don't believe the haters. Bryan is good people, and a creative powerhouse. both observing him and his advice made my work better

1) #Mechtober is here, and it is a complicated one for me. the Lone Wolves were not on my #Battletech radar until I found out some one made a Ace Darwin successor part of them, and then @swankmotron.com started writing them. but they are a weird and wacky part of BTech, & I love them for it

Not quite there yet. Baxter just died, and I will END her for that. I will force her fo fly that super plane of hers until her brains resemble a meat smoothie, and the. i will sit her crippled ass on steel folding chair on the edge of her mega float and watch as I bomb it to nothing

I hate her. Words cannot explain just how much I hate her. I hate her so much I don’t want to kill her, i want to invade and occupy Soata and make her watch everything she built crumble.

Day four #Mechtober, the second Star Leauge will always hold a special place in my heart because of Twilight of the Clans being my favorite sub series. The Hunters, Sword and Fire, Shadows of War, and Prince of Havoc telling the tale of task force serpent, beginning to end was amazing

#Acecombat8 I find Shadow 22 of his leash hunting me. And I find myself on his tail constantly shouting “You’re no Pixy! You’re no Mihaly! You’re no Yellow 13!” Lil bitch turned tail and ran. And O feel awesome!

Ace Combat 8 is amazing. But it brings me to a haunting question. Did Pixy in Zero win in the end? And in doing so did he lose?

Removing the morality of capital punishment (which I am against for economic reasons) I got to be honest. The sentence was carried out, and the convicted survived her execution. as far as I am concerned, she has now paid her debt to society and should be released. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
