We played a game to brush up on the rules. 6000BV trying to stay in ca. 3025-3049.

He did not have time to prepare so went with four shooters-8A (all proxies) I went Battlemaster-1Gb, Black Knight-6b-KNT, Catapult-1C and my one stray into clan era with a Wraith-1.

Thanks to some seriously unlucky dice all four of his mech fell down thanks to one getting two crits in CT, two taking >20 damage and one missed kick. All failed pilot checks...

Never seen that before. Edit: we did play fast and loose since we were relearning rules and the LGS was closing soon.

Rest of the world: WTF! Hell no!

Australia: Awww, that's just a small browniewompy. They only attack mindlessly anything in immediate vicinity. That's harmless, they only melt your blood veins unless you get antidote within 2.5 seconds.

Request: Name of TV-show (Solved) (lemmy.world)

If these kind of requests are not allowed I apologize.

I am looking for the name of a contemporary sci-fi TV show. American, English language. Its from between 2011 and 2016. Just one season as far as I know. The premise is that a matchmakers wife is "assumingly" kidnapped. Turns out he is the double (possible clone?) of an WW2 SS-officer, and are unknowing part of an larger world conspiracy. Trying to bring about the end if the world? I remember the last scene were one of the main antagonists (now blinded) are waiting in line to see a healer who was revealed in the show.

Edit: ChatGPT solved it.

I believe him on a factual level, but not on an emotional level. by Frostbeard in c/[email protected]

Am I the only non Belgian to enjoy Belgium? Decent cities like Brügge, Ghent, Antwerpen, Leuven and Brussels. Trappist Beer, Kriek, Moules frites. Excellent comics like Spirou, Tintin and Thorgal. And as a Norwegian I can relate to a football team full of stars that don't win shit. (Norway can never even qualify dor anything)

It shows that I have only ever been in Flandern, but guess there are stuff in Vallonia to.

First Printing of the Tactical Operations books still viable to use? (lemmy.world)

In Norway are not blessed with many gamestores that actually carry BT stuff. Since we are not in the customs union ordering from other countries can often increase the price by quite a lot since we have to pay VAT on shipping and charge for custom clearance.

See that one local store have the Tactical Operation Books (Advanced Rules and Advanced units and equipment) but the image on the store are the fourth (Rules) and first printing (units). I am going there this sunday to see for myself, but are first printings still usable. See that the current ones are sixt printing for both.

Any relations experts? by Frostbeard in c/[email protected]

I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn't want to dirty my bed clothes I'm case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter "in the common rooms" as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.

Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.

I will now cut back on all social media. Lemmy included as I get a depression from what's happening in the US. What is painfully obvious is that we Europeans must stop fucking around and federate so that we have a fucking chance wedged in between despots and idiots.

What the fuck does the world bank need to advertise for?

What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it? by Frostbeard in c/[email protected]

Norwegian here. I quit reddit and joined Lemmy after the API debacle. Installed mint because of W11. (A big factor was how Steam and proton enables me to play games)

Can't say either Lemmy or Linux has gotten any media attention in the big news sources as far as I can see.

I am the only one in my circle of friends that quit Reddit (most follow the various 40k reddits, and they have no replacement in federated options)

Toxic linux communities moment: by Frostbeard in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 112 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I installed Linux on my gfs (now wife) old laptop years ago when the beginner distros was way less user friendly. When I asked on a forum for help it was just the sound of crickets. When she made her first post starting with "my boyfriend installed Linux and I don't understand how to..." They fucking fell out trees to answer her questions
