Wanted to say that I'm fully caught up and enjoying this LP a lot.

As far as pose packs go, I'm fond of the community pose pack that adds a bunch of poses from different video games as well as just a bunch of generally fun poses, but I think there might be too much going on with them to suit the LP.

I wish I could try the Bieber Balls but the closest Tim Horton's is in NYC and I'm not even sure the American ones would have them.

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.

Yeah I would agree, I've never seen 12 day contact times. But I've also never let that event that slows them down fire.

Fuck you say?!

My theory on scan times was contacting a region didn't get halved when you got the buff, but it wore off and DOUBLED the contact time.

Jake, fix your game.

Pretty sure the legendary resistance member was using the JA2 voicepack. Though that's soley based on the audio quality.

Does no one watch the video to the very end? Between this and some youtube comments of the same, I'm starting to think no one watches videos to the end and that makes me sad cause I put in editing :(

I had been worried about that. Trying to do those as fast as I could if i didn't have a snappy thing to punch in right away.

Just cut them imo, unless someone in the game/commentary/thread does something deserving.

Some people really like 'em, some may want to skip. Also those that only watch on youtube wouldn't see them if i cut them entirely and only posted the thumbnails. I'm not sure what the happy medium is, but for now I'm just going to edit the videos to clip out the decision making process so it should only take 5 seconds a poster instead of 30.

I did. I just missed the tiny quiet In America at the end.

It's a shame that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw wasn't particularly good with how fun Rebel Galaxy og was.

I was wondering why Bandit Keith showed up because I pretty sure I missed the "In America" as well but had a hunch it was that.

Holy crap. I loved the way that the aliens in rebel galaxy spoke some weird language with subtitles, rather than just English. I noticed that it did seem pretty structured and containing a bunch of words that sounded similar to English but not full-on loan words, which made me suspicious that it wasn't just random syllables.
OK, so I sometimes skip the propaganda postering if I'm not feeling in the mood, but I really appreciated that little tidbit. And now I'm wondering whether it's insensitive/problematic to the Swedish or whichever people's language was butchered into "alien".

I'm sure that wasn't the first time that another language was slightly mangled to sound alien, so I'm not sure I'd call it insensitive as more as kinda clever.
It obfuscates the origins better than when Nien Nunb in ROTJ spoke Kikuyu for example. Which is a dialect in Kenya.

Ciaphas Cain had a normal repeater, I think the 3 damage miss was because of the Assassin weakness that she took more damage from multiple attacks in a round.

Repeaters are instant kill chances.

Cain had a Superior Stock which does 3 1 dmg on a miss.

edit, went back and checked the tapes. musta forgot what cain had. Interesting if Bewildered counts stock hits.
edit again; Orrr does he have a superior stock, and the 1 dmg i saw on the mech was due to armor.

I should just load it up and check his gear.
