Battletech - Also known as Trannytech

Man gets shocking force to chest and head in a sport with history of brain and body injuries... must be the vaccine!

I have seen this sentiment all over. What the fuck does this have do with Covid vaccines??

Where can I get this monster?
I wish I knew. I just saw this online and wanted to share it.

Behold the mighty Urban Wolf

Jesus fuck, someone actually made the Mad Can? What's the record sheet for that thing?


Nah, PGI may have a couple trannies, but this is just good old fashioned grifting. If anyone had any high hopes for them after MWO, I've got a HPG on Tharkad to sell 'em.

"They see me walkin'... they hatin'."

As for record sheet, I'd personally go 50 or 55 tons or so, and someone more familiar with the construction rules can fill in the rest.
And then I went and statted it.

The only way that I could make it work was at sixty tons.

Thus proving the adage that everything is possible when you have busted-ass Clan tech.
 
I really wish Bishop Steiner would just shut the fuck up. No one in the community likes him at all.

Who is this person and why do they have a warrant out on them?
Artist for Battletech. If you have any of the recent TROs or RGs, he's the one drawing the mechs within the books. He has an arrest warrant out for sexual assault and it is why he fled from living in Oregon to Mexico. It is also why you never see him going to any conventions since fleeing the country.

So that's why he hides behind the "Steiner name" so people can't bring up that arrest warrant?

Reading year numbers must be more difficult then I remember.

The "get woke" bullshit was kicked off with the fuckery with Blaine Pardoe. Before then the "woke" (as he puts it) were mostly repelled even through 2021 with CGL usually taking the side of their writers in previous cancel attempts. 2022 was the big surrender to "Faith McClucksy" or whatever his last name was and the jettisoning of Blaine Pardoe from Battletech. The numbers that matter the most are those after July 2022: The Big Incident.

This man is using numbers started in 2018 and 2020 as evidence of successes at the TAIL END OF 2022. Even worse, the packs he mentions would have made the majority of their sales on the year of their release with 2022 sales factoring barely if at all.

The packs he's citing were also pushed by Blaine Pardoe - who pushed everything Battletech and was basically a PR division unto himself - so in addition to not understanding how time works he is also trying to prove what a good idea firing Blaine Pardoe was by using Blaine's own contributions as evidence. (Partial contributions. He didn't make the damn packs himself but definitely contributed to selling them even at a macro level.)

This man went to a lot of trouble to tell us all how he doesn't understand how years go one after the other and oh my God I just noticed he said "printed" not "sales" so back orders could've been being filled for sales made before their big dumbass self-inflicted controversy happened making his numbers even MORE useless...

With that kind of talk, the only thing that comes to mind is this:

Is it a surprise that the most woke are also some of the worst people out there? I think not.

A friend of mine is looking to kludge together rules for a large scale 2v2 alpha strike game for a convention. Does anyone have some pointers I can give him to make it a bit less unyealdy? His idea of some the defender’s stuff going in reserve with deployment turn and location being determine by d6s is kind of neat but 400 points seems like it’d drag on way too long between the sheer mass of potential units and that many hands reaching across the table.
 
The BlackPantsLegion Youtube Channel just got hacked. All of their stuff has been privated and is in the process of being purged...

Little update. Tex and co are aware of it and trying to get it fixed. Bad news is, Youtube's being Youtube, so much so he's resorted to contact via Twitter.

BPL is back under control of the rightful owners. They lost 9000 subs for some reason during the debacle, but it has been restored.

They lost 9000 subs because the people who hijacked the channel immediately started a scam investment advertisement stream as soon as they had the names and header changed.

Anyway, Tex is currently going through the video catalogue trying to find out whether anything was actually deleted, and re-establishing the playlists. It'll be a little while before everything is back online again.
