I recently started watching this LP! I'll have more to say when I'm caught up but I'm glad Jade Star is still drinking fancy root beers.

 A quick guerilla mission pops up forcing a tough choice between countering dark events or urgently needed resources for the Avenger. Also I think I cut it out while I was assembling the team but Lune and Lone G became best battle buddies.

Well now I want a mod that takes bradford's sword away e: my guess on past Jade's thinking: When the captain's pod activated there was a sectoid visible in the background. You probably saw that and didn't want to drop the codex in and activate another pod at the same time. FoolyCharged fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Feb 11, 2022 |

Jade Star posted:
Some interesting game design notes: --You shot the probe onto the Cave Rock, and then it moves with the rock when you look away. Another way of teaching you the lesson that rock's there for, though the method of doing it yourself isn't there yet. --The room that teaches you how to travel with the rock has a small drop and a sand-fall at the entrance, so you can't leave without finding the other way out (or meditating, or dying, or time). I think what impresses me about these sorts of games is the thought that has to go into designing them (if they're good). You have these overall major goals (the shy moon being one), but then you have a whole bunch of bits of information pointing to each one of them. Lots of things you can stumble across that will all end up at the same place, but it feels natural. The communication disks help there, by definition you have a conversation that's in two places so if you find one it puts the other in your mind. The whole thing is this network of information so that nothing has to give you all the answer but it'll help you figure out where to go to find more. If two places mention the same Big Picture Item, you start thinking about how those two relate to each other, and that can give more info on solving things. It's a fascinating way of making a game where all your progress is information, but that doesn't mean finding random keycodes. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Feb 12, 2022 |

 Today is a very special episode that I am so glad to bring to all you folks today. A retaliation mission goes from like 2 to 11 on the excitement o' meter in an instant, an extremely valuable scan sight pops up, and I vaguely recall things that I need to add in post production so I seem less crazy.

BeaverTails is based out of Killaloe ON, so they're really common in touristy areas in ON, and there's definitely some in BC - but the Prairies don't really have any franchises as far as I've ever run across.

Didn't the scan times increase because you had a previous bennie that made scan times take 50% as long that expired?

Power relay on power coil: +7 power Fully upgraded resistance comms: 7 power Fully upgraded psi lab: 10 power Fully upgraded shadow chamber: 9 power So assuming you're not building anything you wouldn't build anyway (in which case the calculus gets confusing) a psi lab or shadow chamber are the advantageous ones to put on power coils. Whether you want to wait on them to do so depends on where they are and such.

Resistance fighters are generated randomly in the same way your soldiers are if you don't use the pool, so if you figure out what solider's configuration brought that voice pack mod in, and get them killed, you might get to hear that scream again!

IIRC, Run and Gun on a sharpshooter is limited to their sniper rifle. So theoretically, they can dash to a spot and fire the rifle or get one pistol shot off (or pop Face Off/Fan Fire/Lightning Hands + a normal pistol shot). It sounds like one of those things that'd need testing to see how everything works on a side file like Jade mentioned he has.

It's been a while since I've played a campaign that ended up with it on a sniper, but if I remember you can therefore move once and fire your two-action sniper rife, or move twice and fire your pistol.

Run and gun on a pistol specced sniper is very fun. As suggested, R&G into a crowd of enemies, Lightning Hands then Face Off and you can delete large groups of, say, Lost. I have a video if anyone is interested, but it does have weapon and equipment spoilers.

This makes me wonder if the bonus started and halved all the scan times, then Jade started making contact with a new region with a normal duration, and then the event ended and it doubled everything, including the making contact event that was still on its original time frame. Because yeah, I've never seem a region contact take anywhere close to 12 days. Edit: Hire serious voice over guy to do the most ridiculous death scream ever and then play it in the video when the spokesman dies. As in, you get that cutscene and then afterwards Bradford is trying to talk to you but all you can hear is the spokesman dying for like two minutes.

Scaramouche posted:Didn't the scan times increase because you had a previous bennie that made scan times take 50% as long that expired? Maybe, but making contact with a region is a 5-7 day scan time, it is never 12. Bremen has a good idea, that interactions of bonuses wearing off and restoring values may have screwed something up.

Answering questions like this would require me to have a long term memory. Thankfully I record everything i do so I can check the tapes. The bonus does say 'scan sites' which may be mechanically different than the sites to contact the resistance. However, even if we just take that as true for the sake of things, it wouldn't explain why contacting Europe went from 6 days to 12 days. It really just is another 'fix your game Jake' moment.

Jade Star posted:Answering questions like this would require me to have a long term memory. I seem to recall there also being a Dark Event that increases scan times, so it might have been the one you didn't reveal last time. It's been a long time since I played. I don't think it's anything other than "fix your game Jake" realistically though. It did seem to happen when the UFO made its first pass, but your game has been acting a little odd at the best of times this LP.

Jade Star posted:It really just is another 'fix your game Jake' moment. Personally I'm suspicious that it's Jade's fault and he keeps on with "fix your game Jake" to try and hide the blame. After all, how many times has Jade's (something) broken during an LP? the video evidence is a minor, irrelevant, obstacle to this clearly correct viewpoint
