Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries with mods that add lots of lore-accurate content and additional equipment/loadout options.

I’m just starting to get some of the bigger mechs, and the carnage is epic and loads of fun. The short missions are also great for me as a busy father.

I second that opinion. It seemed shallow and easy at the beginning, but turned out to be a really entertaining and challenging game. I also love how the characters age, develop, and eventually retire.

I wish. Just an overworked TTRPG-Obsessed father. I’m currently playing a gnoll, so I tend to look at real world problems through the lens of a big hairy dude.

Good point!

I hate mosquitoes too, but why do we keep insisting on changing/eliminating other creatures to suit us? Let’s modify OURSELVES to smell like citronella, or better yet, let’s make ourselves grow a thick coat of luscious, too-thick-for -mosquitoes fur! That should be relatively easy, and it would come with other benefits too.

This is already being done in Europe to an extent. It is doable, but it requires a shift in thinking and more investment as well as planning. It’s not really about getting rid of plastic. Just single-use plastic.
