From a single perch near C, I was able to snipe several tanks from clear across the J908 Impact Crater, shoot down a VS Scythe that wandered way too far from home(this was a TR-NC battle), and headshot a heavy on the massive bridge spanning the crater where B is located. Then I shut down a massive rush on A by knocking out their Sunderer, then shelling the survivors including taking down a MAX/Engineer duo by first hitting the engie then nailing the MAX as it tried to run through my teammates - I didn't hit a single friendly and it was a very large shootout. The first time they finally managed to kill me, it took a Sunderer with at least a driver and gunner, two tanks, and at least two Reavers.

Even while trekking back to that gun, I was still kicking ass, taking down a few snipers, then a tank, and some more troopers trying to take C, plus taking out a heavy that tried to rocket my turret from behind.

I had to change position to a different gun once night fell, but from there, I started killing off several infiltrators sniping into the crater just by following their tracers back to them - one of them seemed to have gotten upset and try to hack my turret, only he decloaked right behind me(so I heard it), and I was able to kill him before he killed me.

Put simply, when I get to the controls of a large anti-tank gun, I make things happen.

Boo for meta-gaming.

What difficult were you playing on?

Normal, as IIRC guards can see you increasingly easily as you go up the difficulty levels. I fear that it would've been borderline impossible on Hard or Extreme, because in most areas your best possible Camo Index with Naked is 65%, if you lay down and use the right face paint (you might be able to make 70% in the right conditions, and it's universally lower in places like the mountain or Groznyj Grad where there's no grass to hide in) and that was already cutting it close on Normal; most of my deaths (well, voluntary restarts) came from getting spotted when I underestimated how close I could get to a guard with only 65% camo.

I think I've only ever played MGS games on normal. 'cept the Tanker in SoL.

Well done, not-quite-Rambo!

Fixed up the gunship so that it flies tolerably. Took it for a test run by strafing a herd of quite literally the only harmless species on the planet. Much meat was obtained. After that, I built a self-designed rifle that manages to do more damage than a shotgun or golden sword and is quite accurate at range.

Planet Explorers. I'm a bit bummed since not long after that, I cleared a fairly dangerous dungeon(the gun I made helped) which rewarded me with... it calls itself a "fighter", but it's clearly an attack transport helicopter, with half a dozen seats sitting outside on the tail. It flies faster than the map chunks can load. And honestly I didn't expect there to be any form of stock vehicle.

It's not exactly an own, but I'm not quite sure where to put it:

For a while, I've been noticing random explosion flashes as I explore the wasteland in Fallout 4. At first I thought it was cars bugging out and exploding, but it would occur in places with no explodable cars. Then I thought it was raiders throwing grenades at each other. Today, though, I finally figured it out. I saw an explosion in the distance (and this time it wasn't just the flash from it occuring outside of the field of view) and went to investigate. When I got there, I saw (any guesses?)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a few exploded raiders and super mutants, including a super mutant suicider (!). As it turns out, the game can 1. spawn opposed raiding groups near enough to each other to fight and 2. spawn super mutant suiciders in raiding groups. So basically, a mininuke-armed supermutant occasionally spawns next to a raider and then they blow each other to pieces.

Beat Kaguya. Despite her vaguely adorable bangs and five impossible requests, I still dunked her handily. TOTALLY failed her Last Spells, but those are just for bragging rights anyways. I did absurdly well, losing only one life to Marisa and another to Reisen. Now I just need to beat Mokou and Flandre and then I can move on to the next game. TOUHOUQUEST CONTINUES~!

Touhou 8: Imperishable Night

the only mystery remaining is why eirin, a celestial goddess, is also a nurse

this is the important question

I'm AzyWng, just like here on the forums.

It seems like a snowball can do a deceptively high amount of damage, especially considering it's just a snowball... I think. I'm also pretty good at staying alive, too, it seems.

I am VERY confused.  Like... I need to make a list of all the things that bug me just to keep track.

No jungler on either team, lux built triforce and recurve bow, ashe built triforce, orianna went support with runic shield, I have NO CLUE what darius was doing with his build, nobody got any dragons, and there were only 7 wards placed IN TOTAL in a 30 minute game.

Jesus Christ, maybe my Silver 4 mmr is higher than I thought.

Oh, I seem to have forgotten: This was in unranked Solo Queue. You can calm down now.

Was in my Raven Huginn, circling around to find a good spot to pop my UAV and backstab someone, when I found an AFK Cataphract. Natch I decided to take the chance to get a free headshot kill. Only, as soon as I fired my first SRMs, the pilot loaded in/got back/whatever and started lighting me up--he had a pretty decent balanced build, a couple ERLLas, a couple ACs, a couple MLas. A fresh all-ranges heavy against my partially stripped light.

Stomped him into the mud, he eventually gave up and tried to run away to his team. Then he gave up on that and tried to back into a corner, but by then I already had his CT cored. :V

UAV = unmanned aerial vehicle
AFK = away from keyboard
SRM = short range missile
ERLL = extended range large laser
AC = autocannon
MLA =
CT = center torso
MWO = mechwarrior online

[Akura]

MLA would medium laser, no?

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, hence MLas. Sorry, I should have clarified.

Just had another really fun match, too. I was running my Locust Pirates' Bane with the 4x Small Pulse Laser build, but the map vote dumped us on Alpine Campfest. Thankfully some mouth-breathers had voted us into Conquest, and I got put in a lance with another guy running the same build. Neither of us even needed to say a word, just flanked around and backstabbed in perfect harmony. There was this really beautiful chase when we found a Shadowcat out of position where we were weaving back and forth past each other while he couldn't decide who to shoot at. Ended up with me and him in 3rd and 4th place for most damage dealt on the team.

I mean, I haven't really touched my Locusts much, but now I think I might. They're squishy as all hell, but a 20-tonner going half the speed of a Formula 1 car turns out to make for a pretty good evasion tank, especially when you can actually get under the guns of certain assaults and heavies.
