[Baffler]

Playing prison architect, and Bakers Acres Minimum Security Prison has succumbed to chaos. A small core of agitators started a riot and took control of cell blocks A and B, the canteen, and the visitation centre before I was able to lock down and marshal everyone. They overpowered the riot police and the guards with batons, by sheer weight of numbers. Several prisoners and guards had been killed or seriously injured by this point, so I brought in the armed guards, but it was over by that point. Dozens of prisoners escaped, and even more, both prisoners and staff, were seriously injured or killed.

I just had two abduction missions and a terror mission, so I am running very low on high ranked soldiers, and the only non specialists I have is my tech sergeant gunner, specced to serve in a support role, and an assault.  My mission is to defend the encoder and transmitter from exalt forces.  I bring along two snipers, one with a sniper and the other with a strike rifle, one infantryman with a heavy laser, a medic with a regular laser rifle, and a rocketeer. I rapidly start taking casualties, with almost everyone being wounded, and my strike rifle sniper being critically wounded.  I get told that a new set of exalt reinforcements are the last group, and I manage to kill all my three of them.  I have the rest of my forces in position to kill them, I disable a transmitter, and I let them finish hacking the encoder.  Next turn seven exalt forces pop in by my transmitter, which is completely undefended (Screw you Bradford).  I quickly manage to get my assault there, keeping them from hacking it, and I take two more critically wounded.  Soon there is only one enemy left, there is one turn until they finish hacking the encoder, and the only person I have left with a turn is my sniper. She takes a 98% chance shot at a guy with 1 hp left... completely misses, hitting a gas pump, which then explodes (First time in 200 hours of playtime a gas pump has exploded on me), wounding my assault, who panics, and flees outside the capture zone.

XCOM: Enemy Within, Long War.  Despite it being an ironman playthrough I cancelled the EW process and redid that last turn.  Mainly because of the BS with the "Oh, that is the last group.  Just kidding, an entire squad is about to take the transmitter."

I equipped Cybernetics armor, which is amazing at 7 protection and 50% melee resistance... but has -30% move, cannot be unequipped or destroyed, and takes damage completely normally.  I equipped it at the start of Deimos, not realizing this, and holding onto 3 good pieces of armor (bulk blue, fireproof red, duelist) all the way until halfway through hell when I figured out that it wasn't destroyed upon reaching 0% health.  Cue epic facepalm.  Since this was Ultraviolence, I discovered this in the midst of a fight with 4 each of Revenants and Archviles, with lava and acid everywhere and two Barons of Hell and a shit-ton of imps blocking my retreat.

Thanks to having the ridiculous Fireangel skill I managed to last 2 more levels before dying under the weight of my useless armor.  The 8 large medkits I held onto for the whole game helped too.  I was carrying them in the place of the rocket ammo I would normally carry, because I never found a rocket launcher.  This was a weird playthrough.

I equipped Cybernetics armor

I read up to here and cringed. Yeah, cybernetic armor is generally thought of as bad to wear. Never tried it myself. Is it not repairable? Wiki doesn't mention it.

wiki does mention that it is fully moddable by technicians, so that seems cool. Think it's the only artifact capable of that. wonder if you could mod a nano pack to it.

[EnigmaticHat]

It can be repaired normally.  It never hit 0% until I think hell 3, and was all round pretty incredible.  I had tactical boots and (of course) two levels of hellrunner, so I was at something resembling normal move speed.  But once it hit 0% I was pretty much dead, I had a 30% move penalty on a movement focused build (with duelist armor instead I would have gotten 2 moves for every one enemy move), and of course with rockets flying around everywhere armor shards just get undone instantly.  The sad thing is I had some solid gear; an elephant gun, tactical boots/agility modded plasteel boots, good armor.  With that and my ridiculous stack of health kits I should have been fine.

The sad irony is I didn't even think about equipping it, I just switched it on briefly to repair the 10% damage I caused by shooting its old owner 20 times with a shotgun.  Also screw Nano packs, I was hoping for an Onyx pack.

[Arx]

Teleported smoothly out of the way of something like ten missiles, only to be gibbed by a flaming piece of debris.

Focus (Original difficulty), basically bullet hell with a variety of rockets and guided missiles. You have a way to locally slow time, and to teleport within that area.

Tried to land on the Mun. First attempt, landed too hard, and while the landing frame(Karbonite) was rated for that much of an impact, the engine I needed to test bumped into the ground and was not. Second attempt, landed on a mild slope and the entire landing frame slipped off. Third attempt after reinforcing the connection with the frame, landed on a slope, rolled over, and all attempts to right myself resulting in rolling faster, eventually ripping off half of the assembly.

Kerbal Space Program. Fucking slopes. The design is good, worries about the fuel to return home aside.

I tried to avoid pursuing Lu Bu, but instead he started to pursue me.

I didn't quite understand the jokes until I saw how much damage he does. And then I died.

There are . . . ways to beat him.  Even with a new character without any equipment.

[Akura]

That's why I much prefer minmus. The ΔV to get there isn't too much more, the gravity is MUCH lower, and there's a lot of flatter land.

However, if the contract specifies the mun...

Contract required Mun. That's why I had a big goddamn rocket(the Rockomax Skipper) strapped to the bottom of the lander. Unfortunately, I also have one to take the Kerbodyne single-thruster engine to Minnmus.

[Greiger]

Wanted to play a little bit of dissidia.  Unfortunately I could not locate my duodecim save file, and my break dosn't last long enough to check my backup folder for it.  I tried to skip through the tutorial, saying I know what I'm doing and I'm a Dissidia wizard.

Then the asshole moogle threw me up against a maxed out Chaos as lv 1 lightning.  I presume for my arrogance.  It did not end well for me... I'm not even good with lightning.

[pisskop]

I gathered 2 humans and 2 dwarves to help me hunt a dragon.

I travel across the large continent, and we sneak in.  I get in position behind a pillar before my allies came into view.  Which is good, I am an archer without a shield.  An ally dodges into my tile and the dragon breathes.

Mother-  welp, on fried elf, coming up.  With planty seasonings too.

I died to an Uruk Berserker on purpose, so that he would become a captain.  A few minutes later when I found him (so I could force him in my army) I got him low enough and began branding him, just so he could get killed my some nameless mook who decided that it was in his best interest to attack me then.

After the loss of that Berserker, I went in search of another and ended up making another captain shortly after.  I decided it would be good to know his weaknesses before I accidentally insta-murdered him.  His weaknesses were instantly dying to any combat finisher and charged headshots/shadow-strike, he is also immune to stealth.  My luck is terrible.

Fourth attempt, I landed, but the seperator between the lander and landing frame got lodged in the radial tanks. This wouldn't be bad, except it wrecked navigation and prevented switching out(it was considered landed but moving).
