Okay all of these are likely going to need you to set up an emulator for them, as that’s where most of my co-op game experience lies.
- Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance
- Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II
- Champions of Norrath
- Champions Return to Arms
- Ratchet Deadlocked
Crash Bash- Halo MCC on PC (However doing local coop requires this mod, I have no idea why they stripped out that feature on PC)
i think some of the battletech lore clashes with the high tech clean angular aesthetic of the technology in battletech
Welcome to the mess that is BT’s version of grimdark, it so desperately wants to be grimdark like it’s more successful brother in 40k, but it falls over and explodes half way through the race because the guys at FASA came up with a setting with the intent on being very grounded first, and had to spend a lot of time trying to justify how the universe ended up the way it did by way of indirectly giving the roman empire a reach around. Which yeah, so much of the universe’s premise is pretty much revolves around the fall of the space roman empire (The Star League) causing the universe to go to shit.
like the mechs are ancient and passed down through generations in some cases with the original plans and factories lost forever
A lot of people who write overall setting lore for the Battletech universe don’t exactly know how mass production or logistics work, so much that one of the very first retcons was introducing “limited” battlemech production still happening throughout the succession wars. Another fun one that was quickly redacted, was the quoted number of jumpships (the FTL transportation for the universe) being at around 5,000-6,000, except that fell apart as the Invader-class jumpship (most common jumpship) with all it’s docking ports filled with Mule-class dropships (most common cargo hauler dropship) had the effective cargo capacity of one normal 21st century blue water container ship. There is no way that only 5-6k jumpships was ferrying all that cargo for all the populated planets that is pushing 7 or 6 digits in total, a lot of those worlds being just as or close enough populated as Terra is.
(i’m looking at you, mechwarrior series with your 900m max range ‘’‘long-range missiles’‘’)
Okay so a lot of the ranges come from Battletech, and the weapon ranges there in BT are mostly just for ‘balance’ reasons. Though it gets better, the in-universe reason why the weapon ranges are the way they are is because the battlemechs (and tanks, and everything else) have so much EW equipment as standard that it makes combat from out farther than the normal ranges a crapshoot, and pretty much the only people who can shoot out farther than normal ranges are typically named characters who are 0/0 gods amongst men (the typical mech/aero pilot is 4/5, 3/4 if they’re a clanner, the lower the numbers, the better.). Though a lot of the novels stretch out what is standard range for the sake of better writing.
Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid
The key thing here is that this isn’t designed to directly discourage the kid, the purpose of doing this is to get the other kids to let’s say do some creative persuasion techniques to not do that again. You might recognize this as one of the stereotypical methods that a military would do when dealing with problem soldier, punish the whole unit/squad instead of the single soldier.
Yes, because it’s bourgeoisie decadence.
No I will not explain.
Look sometimes you just want to order a 40 piece nuggets and be in and out in 5 minutes. It also helps that I work 3rd shift, and it’s like the quickest place (and one of the few places still open) for me to get something to eat on break if I end up sleeping all day before my shift.
