A TR max is identifiable from kilometres away. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Kerbal Space Program: My attempt to land a Kerbal on duna (analogue of mars) and return went well, considering I had absolutely no plan. But I didn't quite have enough fuel in the rocked, so I did what any sane person would do and got Jebediah out of the capsule and used almost all of his jetpack fuel to get him on a trajectory home. It was only when he entered the atmosphere that I remembered that Kerbals didn't have parachutes. So I just watched him head towards the ground at terrifying speeds, I started flipping him every which way to see if that would maybe slow him down. It didn't, but when he hit the ground, he landed head first, and bounched nearly 30 meters off of the ground. I flipped him again, and he landed on his feet. Jebediah is truley a badass.

Note: This was before re-entry heating was a thing.

I beat Undyne the Undying on my first try. Probably helps I spent ~2 hours trying to beat her on a Pacifist playthrough because I couldn't figure out how to win, so I'm really familiar with her attacks. It also turns out there's a tiny little sweet spot where your little heart-shaped hitbox can position itself JUST between the tips of two spears when she does her "Little box & spears" attack. That helped a ton.

Undertale.

[Akura]

Took out a very large walker droid(despite the fact that walker technology probably doesn't exist in this era) with surprising ease, especially since the masses of battle droids and turrets had been tearing me a new one the entire run. That tank was throwing explosions around... bit never really hit anyone for any damage.

KOTOR II. Handmaiden joined. The first conversation with her in the cargo hold, it sounded that she may as well have been screaming "I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, EXILE!" the way she was talking.

Unless she is somehow the Exile's daughter or something. Just thinking it's possible since all of Atris' other handmaidens all look alike(due to having the same parents), and all of them, including the one that joins you, look like Atris, indicating that she might be their mother. And Exile and Atris have a... history.

I thought Star Wars was subject to fantasy style tech stasis?

In the EU it seems to be progresssing, albeit very slowly. New ships and whatnot.

[Akura]

There's some things that don't exist in the Jedi Civil War era(KOTOR games) that do in the Clone Wars/Galactic Civil War era. Bacta, for instance, which replaced the kolto that was important in the JCW. I think walkers appeared sometime between the eras.

According to Wookiepedia, there were some walkers in that general time frame, though none appear in the KOTOR games that I'm aware of(the tank droid notwithstanding). Apparently, there's at least one that shows up in SW:TOR, which appears to start just after the end of the KOTOR series.

Did you do all the sparring matches with Handmaiden? That's pretty much the way to get her backstory, although not all questions will be answered due to cut content (it's better in the restored game, though still not obvious).

Some clues:

Spoiler: Least obvious (click to show/hide)

- Handmaiden says that her mother died at Malachor V, but no body was found. A lot of people are said to have died there that turn up later.

Spoiler: Moderately obvious (click to show/hide)

- Handmaiden's mother was an exiled Jedi. Quite a few people were exiled in connection to Revan.

Spoiler: Basically giving it to you (click to show/hide)

- Listen to what Handmaiden says about the Echani view of conflict. Sound like anybody you know?
- She "honors the face of her mother". Notice the braids?

Also, if you're strong enough, you can accidentally kill Handmaiden while sparring. It'll bug the game out until you leave the area.

The final battle for Kronus was fought to purge the taint of Chaos from the world. Through min-maxing and abuse of planetary bonuses, I managed to get possibly the largest army possible. Grey Knights(6), both Terminator squads(16 total), seven squads of Tactical Marines(63 total), two Predators, Land Raider, 3 Dreadnoughts, a Chaplain, and a Scout Marine squad for kicks(4). Not counting Honor Guards and casualty replacements(of which there were plenty), that's pretty much the full company. If you do include casualties just from that battle alone, that's more than a full company. If you include all the casualties from the entire Crusade, including cutscene deaths... makes you wonder where the hell all these Astartes are coming from, especially since the Blood Ravens are supposed to be still recovering from their campaign on Tartarus.

Anyhow, Chaos got rekt. Campaign won.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

I decided to ask a cheeky little rogue in the tavern to burn down my competitor's buildings, so I could become mayor.

Unfortunately, there were no wells in Luebeck, thus the population went from 3,500 down to 700 before the conflagration was brought under control.

Fortunately, rubble is cheaper to buy than a completed building, so I was able to purchase some houses just off the market square from my competitor, which increases the liklihood of rich citizens moving in.

Luebeck was rebuilt within the year, and is turning over a nice surplus after I moved my patrol away...

Patrician 4: Rise of a Dynasty

Edit: my first act as mayor? Build some wells.

Also increase the price at which the town bought wood and bricks - the literal thousands of each I needed to rebuild the city. This obviously had nothing to do with me being a major supplier of each, of course.

Won my first online match. Kicked their ass with my custom warrior.

Completed the Nebraska mission with no deaths or even serious injuries.

XCOM: EW
Missions with only melee enemies really do play differently by a long way. As does an evac timer.

Led by Augustus Caesar, the Roman Empire and its legions have dominated the world through the awesome, overwhelming might of their...culture?
Yep. Cultural victory as the Romans. I did a bit of conquering here and there (especially when Genghis Khan made himself a bit too much of a thorn in my side), but by the end of the game I had spread my religion to nearly every city, was allied with every city-state in the world, dominant over Ethiopia (who still tried to insult me periodically, despite being at a massive disadvantage in every category), allied with Korea, and working together with them to crush China. The cultural victory occurred just as I was bombarding Beijing

Is this what karma feels like? See the image below (it's Hearthstone).

That's two (TWO) legendaries in a single pack.

[Akura]

Saw a whole bunch of bots doing that ridiculous slide move mere feet from the doorway I was standing in. None of them saw me. I tossed a grenade at them. I think I killed five in that blast. They never did find me even after that.

Insurgency.

Took a Mosin/Nagant, a 7x scope, and some NVG. Camped the central street on the second floor of a building, right next to our weapons cache. One round I fired 29 shots, killed 17. All in the dark.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Insurgency again. The NVG isn't very powerful in really dark spots. Still tons more useful than not. Unless the enemy has a flashlight.

EDIT:

Spoiler: One RPG (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Insurgency once more. Even better was ambushing the next wave and killing all but one... who managed to ambush me and kill me.
