or more close to unrelatable that I don't care about it

If you, say, extrapolate from modern naval combat, if a ship isn't entirely automated, it will have a small crew telling systems high level orders as drone fighters close in to launch anti ship missiles and/or railgun rounds

Most of them miss or are intercepted

One hit and the ship is vaporized

That's it. It's like combat in Honnor Harrington series, but even more boring.

And if you far enough to where weapons sling graviton waves that have to be absorbed by tachyon-folded space, just fuck off



Graviteam Tactics is supposedly the best tactical/real time WW2 game (take that, Battlefrontailures).

Unfortunately, it's a) a hardcore historical wargame that's b) made by Ukrainians.

That means that tutorialization is nearly non-existent and not exactly easy to understand.

So a few years ago, I learned the bare basics of the game on YouTube from Arch Warhammer.

He goes by Arch now because he shit the bed so hard being a reactionary dipshit that GW made him drop Warhammer from his title.

The tutorials helped, sure, but were delivered in the tone of a faux sophisticate that every jackass who ever bought a fedora tried to be.

warning: these are going to be actively mean for the sake of comedy. I actually enjoy quite a few of these, although I won't say which ones. If you're going to read me going "your comic SUCKS" and get mad move on to another post this is not Serious Criticism.

this is only the the ones that people actively sent me; so if your favorite isn't on here that's because nobody would admit to it. do it, coward. admit your secret shame so i may add it to the board

as a kid. Still weird how the web comic reading part of me just withered and died aas I reached my 20s. At school, I even tried drawing my own, without understanding that maybe plotting shit out in advance or knowing how to draw would be useful!

I even used to read (download) comics, from original Guardians of the Galaxy to Transmetropolitan to Requiem The Blood Knight to Crossed for some fucking reason to that one low magic comic with plate armored ladies thay I absolutely don't remember the name of but I could swear it was something like Artemisia

Incidentally, I decided that graphic novels - or comics that have a beginning and end instead of going forever - were superior to endless Spider Men and shit.

These days, I just check KSBD every five months and move on.
