That was actually a different anti-Elon post in July.

Got it, Israel attacked the USS Liberty first so the US is entitled to nuke Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Thanks! It was a lot of work. kel-bliss

 

Really came down to the wire to get this done before pride month was over, but, after many months, I'm finally happy with how it looks! This was supposed to be my "low-effort army", so much for that lmao.

You can have laissez-faire free market capitalism for about 30 minutes before the big capitalists establish a state.

Mr. Fetterman sir, if you have another stroke you may never have to work again! Just a thought.

The main reason for this is that Chernobyl was much worse. There's a scale used by the IAEA to describe the severity of nuclear accidents, which is designed to be logarithmic IE a 2 is 10x more severe than a 1 is 10x more severe than a 0. Chernobyl is one of two 7s (the other being Fukushima), while Three Mile Island is a 5.

There's definitely anti-communism involved, but from what I can tell, almost no radiation was released from Three Mile Island's facility itself (though it did breach the area where radioactive materials are supposed to be). Chernobyl spread contamination over large parts of modern-day Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, as well as beyond.

A heads up, when I torrented it the folder and filenames were so long that it exceeded the windows character limit and I had some trouble renaming everything to be playable. Had to install something because windows' rename and my usual bulk file renamer wouldn't work.

And then I stopped watching partway through anyway lol.

Shirabe and Kirika, from Symphogear. They show up in Season 2 onwards.

Ah but you see they actually armed both sides, so it doesn't count!

 

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.

Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.

Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.

 

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.

The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.

Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):
