Beefalo decided to curbstomp me while I was at low health, despite the fact that I did nothing to provoke it and they're usually harmless when when you walk near.

Just showed up at this gold site (just appeared that day) and tried to suicide the dummy brain with my drop ship. Miss, but when I come back towards it, am blown up and shrapnel destroys him and his guards. While I'm highfiving all my friends, a dummy drop ship engine falls from the sky and crushes my brain bot.

Beefalo get much more hostile during mating season. I guess to make living with them have some consequence even though you can just set up camp near the heard

I thought I could make a break for a shuttle to escape a xenomorph infested marine ship. An empress found me..

Space Station 13, Colonial Marines.

[Mr Space Cat]

Playing as a marine angel of marksmanship, only able to wield pistols. I was doing surprisingly well with dual wielding speedloader pistols I had assembled, and I had assembled powered red armor to help me tank, as well as tactical boots to give me a slight speedboost. I had killed the cyberdemon with nothing but pistols. I had the game in the bag.

Then I stopped by Vaults, and used a phase device to see if I could loot some stuff. I am now trapped in a vault with no way out. I can't use a nearby rocket launcher to blow a wall up, because a rocket launcher isn't "a weapon worthy of a marksman".

Welp. Guess I'll just boot up this thermonuclear bomb and savor the last ten seconds of my life. Faretheewell, Adrian Carmack, you badass marine angel of marksmanship.

DoomRL. In my defense, I was certain that the vaults all had teleports out. Apparently not. Lesson learned.

On the bright side, in the last brief, burning moments of my existence, the nuke killed enough enemies for me to level up. So that was cool.

So a rocket launcher isn't worthy of a marksman, but a nuclear bomb is just dandy?

One's aim with a nuke must be very precise. It's a true weapon of sharpshooters, greater even than scoped sniper rifles.

[inEQUALITY]

Sometimes, I just press the Y button way too soon... again. And again. All the while I get pummeled/slashed/whatever to death by drug dealers in an alley. I don't know why I keep pressing the counter button before they turn red. Leftover reflexes from Shenmue 2's combat system, perhaps? It's been a while. Who knows. Either way, it results in a dead me.

The way the game works, the nuclear bomb is an item that can be used, like a medpack, not a weapon that can be wielded or shot, like a rocket launcher or pistols. The nuke is pretty much a last resort item to instakill yourself (unless invincible somehow) and everything else on the level.

The challenge I was playing restricts the player to only using weapons that are in the "pistol" family. Rocket launcher is in "explosives" category. Attempting to wield and shoot a weapon that isn't a pistol displays the message "this isn't a weapon worthy of a marksman!" Even a chainsaw or knife displays the message. If I were an angel of berserking, any attempt to use a gun would display "You're a berserker, dumbass. You don't need guns." such challenges force the player to use different strategies and skills and can dramatically change gameplay.

I shouldn't have tried looting Vaults since I had no way to destroy walls. Should've known and planned ahead, but oh well. Live and learn.

I don't know if this really counts(as usual), but getting tired of getting bucked off in that damn horse breaking mission so I shot the horse.

Fighting the Tarka after they started shooting up various gates I had established, but launching offensive operations when you don't have FTL drives on your ships (Hivers use gates for instantaneous FTL from any other gate, but interstellar travel without a gate must be done STL) is unsurprisingly quite tricky.  They sent a fleet of 39 warships against a foothold I had established in their home cluster, and I responded by gating my entire mobile fleet of over 50 destroyers right on top of them.  At this point, I thought to myself, "You know, it would be really quite entertaining if they just blew up my gate and stranded my entire fleet here."

Surprise, surprise.  Two turns of battle later, their fleet was destroyed, and my fleet was separated by almost 50 turns from the rest of my empire.  The first thing they did was go on a direct-intercept for the planet, blow up the colony, and follow that up with destroying the gate while my fleet was still trying to turn around from its own intercept course.  My fleet isn't technically dead, but it may as well be for all the good it will do me anymore.
