Just because the staff say they will do something in writing doesn't mean they do it in practice. I've seen tons of bogis probs there.

Yeah - I'm a big fan of "having standards and enforcing them," it's something that SA is inconsistent on but still makes it better than most places.

I don't know. Go too far in the other direction, and you'll eventually reach a point where literally nothing is good enough and everything is sufficient reason for calling it a crime. It happened to GAF up until the Exodus, and it's happening to Resetera too.

How far along the path are you willing to go? Will you go so far that absolutely nothing and no one can conform to the any of the standards set?

resetera is bad too but not in that way so much as it's just hundreds of people with the exact same factory preset gaming opinions. AAA cinematic games are the highest form of the medium, my Switch has been collecting dust since Odyssey, using sales numbers as a measure of game quality, etc.

Well sure. That happens any place, and also both ways - here and there, I also see people not take consequences for posts that are cut-and-dried against a forum rule/standard. A bogus probe is also like, a really light slap on the wrist. My one probation here wasn't for any actual rule-breaking, it was just an extremely stupid post that pissed off enough people. I learned from it.

This argument ad absurdum is really without merit. People try to say this about actual hate speech laws while there are very good reasons to regulate speech and expression. Rejecting the idea of protecting vulnerable communities isn't fighting for anybody's freedom, it's fighting to protect an oppressive status quo where certain groups are on unequal ground and are disproportionately and negatively affected. Who is negatively affected by prohibiting hate speech and known bad behaviors? Only those trying to perform or benefit from them.

Yeah, here can be, too. And every other community on the web I've seen. The effort and steps taken to moderate it matter.

I just find it hilarious that Evillore lost his empire because he couldn't give a non-insane response about how he misread his now ex-girlfriend's mood one night while drunk.

It was the smallest fire in the world to put out, but he just dumped a can of gasoline in it instead.

Standards = no homophobia, racism or sexism, and acceptance of lbg(T) while acknowledging there is no both sides to those issues

Is there not traps and stun balls? If it's like 3u, just roll away but stay close until it finishes it's charges. I think it can slam into walls for stuns too, but not sure.

I'm glad to see other folks are enjoying MHGU. I put 40 hours into 4u but stopped because I was bad and didn't have friends to play with - I was starting to lose hunts to the time limit! Now I have hunting buddies and am getting pretty decent with the horn! MP hunts are super fun but I'm also starting to enjoy solo too, now that I can fairly competently solo monsters. Still low rank village (just hit HR hub) but I'm taking yuan kut ku down in under 5.

Question about Into the Breach runs:

Do y'all typically stop at 2 islands or do you try and do all 4 before going to the volcano? Or do you see what you have after two islands and decide whether to go to the volcano or not?

I've only had three successful runs, 2 2 island runs at normal and a 4 island run on easy. One of the things I try to consider is what the bosses for each island are and what their psion critter is. The psion that causes enemy units to explode is the bane of my existence, and the scorpion boss that webs people can also wreck my day. If those are still in play after two islands, I almost certainly rush the volcano.

On my 4 island success, I had a mission on the ice island with an explosive psion and I went from max power to one sliver during the course of what was easily my most disastrous battle. The middle of the map was mostly ice and I could not get a handle on things in the beginning so things spiraled out of control.

I like the Blitzkrieg team but the became a liability later on since the lightning chain attack damages friendly units that some missions want me to protect, including the bomb at the end of the game. I spent too much time trying to move people and objects around and couldn't seal the deal.

One last thing: I recommend playing a few matches on Easy. I unlocked three pilots that way and was able to knock out several achievements, which let me open up more teams. I don't know if a pilot is always an option when you perfectly clear an island, but I was getting to the point where I had played several maps without knowing how exactly new pilots were unlocked. Now I've got options!
