Sounds interesting, will have to try the mustard. If I'm feeling decadent (and have the ingredients on hand), I'll make myself a grilled cheese with pear slices and bacon on sourdough.

Ah, yeah. Not sure what to tell you about that. People wanted more portraits, so the BTA team added in the portrait loader mod, and it's been loaded up over the years by various people without regard to artistic consistency. That said, aside from special pilots (kickstarter backers and ronin), you can customize your pilot portraits. So if you want to, you could choose to only recruit customizable pilots and change their portraits to only things that work for you.

Can't help you with mech portraits, sorry.

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but I suspect it's the issue with several mech models that are part of the CAB done in such a way that they don't take your company's paint scheme. They always just look a particular way (and often ugly). As I understand it (and I could be wrong, I'm not a dev or anything, I just play BTA a lot), this isn't really a BTA issue so much as it is a CAB issue.

But to answer your question, I've played hundreds (thousands?) of hours of BTA and yeah, I find it annoying, but you kinda just learn to move past it with time and not think about it too much. At least that's been my experience.

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

Honestly, a lot of NSFW subs devoted to somewhat niche fetishes. I saw lemmynsfw.com started up as a separate instance for NSFW content, and I'm hoping at least some of these subs make it over there soon.

I don't use my steam deck all that much, just when traveling. The last thing I played on it was Warhammer 40k Mechanicus, and that plays wonderfully on it. Definitely recommended.

Long time metalhead here, refugee from reddit, ofc. I've never listened to Veil of Maya before, but I dug this track, so thanks for sharing. Personally I'm a big fan of classic, symphonic, and power metal, but I enjoy plenty of stuff in other sub-genres as well, depends on my mood. Glad to be here, and glad there are other metalheads around.

Just signed up myself! Long time RIF/old.reddit user, hoping to find new (better!) communities. Hello everyone!
