Yes, the battle I was referring to was Leuctra (hooray for thirty seconds' worth of research).

Whenever I think of that battle I think of one line from a military history book, concerning, of course, the Theban formation that day: "a pile-driver of a phalanx, 50 ranks deep".

Hannibal did it better.

[Lukewarm]

It was more of a reminder then an own, but I think it was a high point in my fun.
My battle against one group had been growing for a while-I had just won a pitched battle, capturing one of their generals and defending my petty factory against 70+ men, when during a roughly even encounter in a field, I came to a realization that made me smile.
There I was, plinking away at some far off group of soldiers, when I realized that I wasn't particularly damaging, or very accurate whatsoever, me and my SMG had one saving grace-we used cheap bullets.
I came as close to BRRRRRRRRTTT as a man with an SMG can come that day.

Freeman Guerilla Warfare

[Akura]

During the quest Diplomatic Immunity, while disguised as one of the asshole elves Thalmor, it turns out the Fury spell doesn't break your cover if you get yourself hidden before the spell hits, resulting in immediate teamkill. Unfortunately, the asshole +1 wizard guarding the door(literally standing in the doorway so you can't sneak by) managed to kill both patrolling guards in the courtyard.

With an arrow to the knee.

Had it just been revoked?

But sir..! You’re black.

Bah, the Thalmor only have so-called "immunity" because they think they can get away with it.

Spoiler: and also because (click to show/hide)

Ulfric Stormcloack is a Thalmor sleeper agent.

Makes it so much more fun to mess with them.

Oh, and I just remembered, during this run, before entering Whiterun for the first time, I went around to do some bandit bounty I picked up in Riverwood, came across a Thalmor Justicar party, murdered the lot, and got Elven light armor before even killing the first dragon.

There're dragons in Skyrim?

[hector13]

Could just watch an LP cha know.

MGS3, Peace Walker, GZ, MGS5, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4? I feel like I'm missing something, other than playing all those games.

Snake's Revenge?

You got em all.

There're dragons in Skyrim?

You can play almost the entirety of the game before you ever see more than just Alduin if you simply refuse to talk to Jarl Balgruuf, and instead derp around doing all the other shit, IIRC.

I know, which is why I said it :p

Unlocked World Rammers as soon as possible, derailed myself, and started flying around using my Defensive Bursters' recoil around the system while using them as close-range weapons. They're surprisingly strong, they can open up a planet with like 2 good hits and blow up the core in another 2. Killed everyone, but I was really beaten up due to being hit by nukes twice. I was chasing the green player around the entire system for 3 minutes straight.

I managed to beat the Path of Pain and man does it live up to its name. Imagine playing a late-game super meatboy level, but the camera isn’t zoomed out so you don’t get a proper look at the stage, and just like in super meatboy you have to do it in one go*.

Yeah... lots of trial and error and a fair amount of rage. I’m talking Sans level of rage, but that was partly the point. In game it’s contextualized as this difficult, but optional trial you can take if you want to find all the answers, and so knowing that my feelings  were the intended experience kept me going. All of it was a lie though. At the end you only get a 5 second cutscene and a rather dull bestiary entry. Not worth grind, but hey, at least you got a sense of pride and accomplishment right?

Hollow Knight

I’ve criticized the game in the past, but as you can tell I’ve since found the motivation to play past its early levels. I take back everything I said earlier. The beginning parts of hollow knight are quite dull, but once you make it to the City of Tears (which will probably be your fourth area), the game really opens up. Hollow knight doesn’t gate many areas behind upgrades so you get to visit them in whatever order you like, even skip a few completely if you really want to. It makes exploration feel really special because the journey you go on is truly your own and it’s likely people did not travel the same way you did. Honestly it’s one of my favourite games of all time now.

[Hanslanda]

I beat Flamma on my first try ( grante it was mostly me scurrying away until I knocked his shield off, then I went beserk on that left arm but still) and also beat Alesia and got dat sweet sweet Gaulish Longsword. Too heavy to use with a shield and helmet, cuz I like large shield, but I got a decent Falx for now.

My ultimate goal is to take Laetus' backup knife, helmet, and his sword into a new game+.
