THE MONDAY UDPATE AND THINGS

I'm catching up, just three months behind hooray fatigue! On other notes, Cleveland podcast was cool.

Thanks Forrest. That was my thought for house Militaries, and as tex mentioned, it just doesn’t happen with them. I figured Tex was more of a Merc kind of guy, given these answers, I was going to suggest he play a couple Scromble’s missions with standard load outs. Give a different feel for the game.

And it shoots really well until somebody shoots back at it

There many mechs that can do certain jobs better than the warhammer. There few that can do as much as the warhammer. It kills mechs, it kills tanks, infantry, buildings. It just works. And it looks damn good doing it.

Mister Tex! There is no shame in taking a rest. Life is draining. One must recharge every so often. What is your favorite sci-fi shipboard weapon?

No need to apologize for anything, Tex. Take care of yourself. As the Bard said, "self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting."

I'd personally day that customizing your mech would be extremely rare unless you were a merc. The great houses certainly have certain roles for the mechs they field, and until you mustered out (i.e. were gifted one for bravery, etc) with a mech, it was up to the regimental mech techs to do any sort of customization based on mission or supply, unless you had a family mech you brought with you into the service. Merc forces are a very tiny percentage compared to the House militaries, so customization would be at an absolute minimum.

The Marauder episode came and went, it had very little in the way of Marauder pilots, as there are dozens in the lore. It mentioned Grayson Carlyle, and a few others, I imagine Kerensky is going to be in the Warhammer video instead, as the (or a) Bounty Hunter swiped her Marauder, and she switched to a Warhammer after.

The only question I have about your me-time is whether you got the well-rested buff. If you touch on the famous Marauder pilots in the Marauder episode, the two that jump to mind immediately are Natasha Kerensky and Yorinaga Kurita. If you do mention Yorinaga, are you going to cover the "phantom Mech" ability? I'm (relatively) new to the franchise but I understand it's pretty contentious. Also, because I'm a dumbass, what exactly does joining the Legion mean?

Tex Talks Trips would be a nice reoccurring Pod Cast segment.

Excellent, thx!

Why are you apologizing for me time? This is your hobby, frankly you don't owe us anything. I appreciate when you do update and drop videos and that's why I contribute. Question: What are your thoughts on certain houses being favorites with FASA? It seems like some were more neglected than others?

Dark Azial

I spoke to him and indeed, he got several clan packs and some coupons lol He was rather blown away.

I've been in quarantine in Japan for 2 weeks before hopping on a ship. I gotta say, enforced Me Time is amazing! I thought it would be miserable but I've actually had a lot of healthy introspection.

As someone with the same last name. Grandmas peanut soup is really good. Let's send some to tex.

Glad you're taking care of yourself Tex! Having some rest certainly brings some clarity to whatever comes next.

I sent some BT stuff to Discount Dan at the P.O. Box posted in the Marauder video. Did he get a lot of stuff? And was any of it funny?

No apologies, take all the time you need for yourself.

Question- Thanks for the solid answer on the Military Doctrine question-I was worried it was a bit simplified. Leads into question - In Battletech, when we min/max or optimize our load outs over standards, our primary goal in the game is always to destroy other mechs. As a Mechwarrior, do you think you’d keep standard load out (to keep multi-role capabilities) or just slap 2 AC-20’s on your Atlas and step on everything else?

Don't apologize (as much), we all need our me time and you especially. I agree with your therapist on the self-compassion thing. Am I gonna have to make soup again?

Molly McAllister

Wait, you took some time off to focus on YOU? What are you, human or something? I, for one, am absolutely outraged. How dare you be a responsible adult and balance your life in a reasonable fashion.

Dude, nothing to apologize for you. You got shit done, you did self care, you *RESTED*. Those were good things. Tell your therapist you did a good job.

BZArcher (Blind Zen Archer)

Dude, we’re all good with you taking some me time. Except for that one guy, but he’s still paying into the patreon so I think complaining is just their fetish at this point.
