Oh good. You're here. Do ya like mechs? No? Too bad. I do, and you're getting battletech shitposts.
Terry Ford was right.
Citizenship in the Capellan Confederation carries a number of benefits. Ninety percent of people withing the Capellan Confederation are not citizens.
Comstar is less the catholic vatican, and more like a mormon vatican run by people that wear wizard robes, and also did a thing they called a jihad. The Jihad era was introduced when wizkids took over in 2001. Also, battletech is split across multiple copyright holders, hence the title.
Less genetically engineered, more cybernetically enhanced. Glory to the Magistrix. Glory to Canopus.
C4 is stable enough to be used as a fuel source, only mildly toxic when eaten, and mostly plasticizers. It's the least silly of puttys. On the otherhand, drywall putty is bland, boring, and does its job. The seriousist of puttys.
Speaking of silly geese, the Royal Blackwatch liked to use C4 as hand grenades when the Amaris Civil War broke out. Also, they took a nuke, and kept going because, I guess, dying is for other people.
Snoopy's going to kill a man.
Black Marauder, my beautiful eldritch son.
The biggest threat to a member of House Marik is another member of House Marik. Glory to Marik.
I know Sarna is misspelled. I did not make the meme.
I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
Make the call.
I have needs.
Aria could legitimately get me to bark like a dog.
Speaking of Aria...
Cat Tax.
Edit: Oh my god I forgot to add tags. I'm a goober.

#1 I have been told by six people that I exhibit traits of the tism, and my therapist & psychiatrist say that it's likely that I am, but I am very high functioning so I can't ever get any benefits from it.

#1 should have told him to fuck off. Diagnosing someone after knowing them maybe less than an hour, what a douchebag thing to do.

Perfectly understandable from someone with ASD who lacks social graces. That's someone who believes they're an expert and speaks what they think (correct or incorrect), not a douche

I've finally come across a Battletech post! *happy robot noises*

Second this notion! If imgur gave us one double-updoot a day, this would be mine.

#3 and then some crazy fucker added a spiked fist and suddenly the charger was a scary fucker.... Loved the tex vid on the charger...
AnneMakesMistakes
I basically exclusively run the stock charger, because I just like the little fella. And I'm not much of one for guns, so...
GhostBear3067
The key is remembering the Charger's primary weapons are not its lasers but rather its mass.

#30 These days since I run with the YUP mod if I'm opening NV a dozen times in a few minutes it's not because the game is being unstable, it means I'm dicking around in GECK trying to get something I'm working on in my personal mod to work right...

#8 from what I've been told c4 is now made to be slightly toxic because Vietnam troops figured out c4 can get you high if you ingest it like chewing tobacco. Making c4 toxic was to prevent that.

What is it with these old wargames having such impossibly dense lore? Though I’m not into wargames, I’d love to get into Battletech or 40K video games, but there’s just SO MUCH lore. And I like lore, but it’s too damn overwhelming.
GhostBear3067
40+ years worth of writing tends to have that effect.
AnneMakesMistakes
Being nearly a half century old might contribute to it.
theThousandHells
Gauss Highlander. They can't scratch your paint if you're kilometers away
AnneMakesMistakes
I need to see the light leave a man's eyes before I beat his mech into a pile of scrap with its own leg. Sniping just ain't it.
theThousandHells
Fair. I actually never played tabletop, my experience is limited to the pretty cool 2018 Harebrained Battletech on PC. You're limited to a lance of 4 so my main running crew was the Highlander and a mix of medium and short range mechs rounding it out. In fact... time to reinstall it RIGHT THIS INSTANT
AnneMakesMistakes
You might try the Battletech Advanced mod if you're on PC. Let's you use vehicles, and run into the clans and stuff, and still do the Aurigan Reach campaign.

#4 let's be real here, the one on the left is bigger joke on account of not only being a Capellan, but somehow also thinking that it's a source of pride.
AnneMakesMistakes
No no no. Not a capellan. A capellan citizen. The turbo indoctrinated kind.
MySpareAccount
Never trust Capellans, or anything they say
They'll always stab you in the back just to get their way
The only things that's worse than that their shit, substandard pay
I guess I'll drop once more
MySpareAccount
I'll be real, I'm a simple Taurian boy who believes all great houses are jumped up bluebloods that can either fuck off my lawn or get nuked about it, so a Capellan is a Capellan is a Capellan to me

#9 does every culture eventually reinvent baba yaga?
AnneMakesMistakes
Look. Hut with chicken legs is really good, and it would be a travesty to only use it once.
psugab
Good job Goober
FleaTron
#9 not the catapult... the heavy version... what was this called? I know u can put ppcs or gauss in the arms. Fuck i loved this mech what was it called?
AnneMakesMistakes
That's the Timberwolf, which is a Clan Omnimech.

As a 30+yo lady whose knowledge of BattleTech and MechWarrior mostly comes from nostalgia watching her long-deceased dad play those games...this was a lovely dump and I thank you for it.

Dogspeed, little pup. Go violate the Ares Conventions.
InfocalypseRising
Man the mechwarrior PC games were great but I just cannot for the life of me be bothered to care about the lore. Just tell me where to go blow shit up
TheFastpaws
Been awhile since I've heard about Battletech.
Rishingo
It is the thirty-first century.. and mankind is still at war.
Er.. twenty-first century..

So by racist furries do you mean like the raccoon furry who was afraid of black people shopping at the grocery store?
AnneMakesMistakes
I mean the eugenics folks, which would be the Clans, like Clan Wolf. Or Smoke Jaguar, who did kind of burn a planet to the ground along with all the civilians. A reminder, this isn't 40k, and is a setting with something similar to the Geneva Conventions, so planets burning isn't an every day thing.

*angry King Crab noises*
Played a little online and had moderate amounts of fun piloting either a missile launcher with legs or a dump truck but filled with bullets. Granted, neither worked very well because I have the skill of a lemming and similar instincts, but hey.
Ultrashotpull
Coming up with dumb shit is the best part of MWO, honestly. Sometimes it doesn't pan out, like ripping out what little copper wire you can out of an R60L to slap on a second AC/20 ammo bin, and sometimes it does, like when you make a stealth urbie that is as fast as a Dasher but still has enough arms and armour to be stuck in the middle of four assaults and come out the victor.
Or the Sniper Awesome I made. 3km range on IS hardware. It was funny to see clanner lasers stop short of my cockpit.
Steeveeo
MRM120 Annihilator-MB is always fun. 60 missiles on the left mouse, 60 missiles on the right mouse. If I fire both at the same time, my core detonates. If I fire both at the same time, whoever I'm hitting has a chance to have their client crash from all the particles.
Grand ol' time.
GasBandit
Just let me run around in my Catapult LRMboat or my Cicada full of medium lasers and I'm happy.

#1 One streamer I watch literally got diagnosed autistic by her chat.
After months of her telling life stories and getting responses back from her chat that went along the lines of "Oh yeah, my autism affects me like that too!" she eventually went to a psychiatrist to prove she wasn't autistic. First stream back she's just "Yeah, so it turns out I have autism and didn't know it."
Love your work, FroggyLoch!

>humans in mechwarrior inventing a cornucopia of building sized war machines with complex human interfaces, mobile power and cooling systems, huge numbers of builtin weapons and the occasional sword or hatchet for style
>humans in mechwarrier never once considering adding any sort of aiming mechanism to the ten trillion scattershot dead reckoned missiles they've fired over the millennia
ZoBrightlance
Aiming? Where's the fun in THAT?
tavinjer
Are there any mechs that have animals inside? Like as pilots, not like… never mind. Animal pilots. In mechs. Yea or nay?
GhostBear3067
There is an in-universe children's cartoon with anthropomorphic animals piloting mechs. Surprisingly enough it comes from Clan Space.
AnneMakesMistakes
No. There's not even really sapient aliens, unless you count Far Country, which you shouldn't.
tavinjer
I won’t count Far Country. That leaves animals in mech suits to me. Perfection.
