It’s not him you gotta worry about. There’s another one hiding at your 3 o’clock about to knock you off when you charge in.

In your starting cell in DS1, there is a pot in the corner with poop in it. It is clearly a toilet. This heavily implies that the undead do still poop.

You don’t get it. You are Solaire’s sun. He was looking for you :(

Lemmy downvotes don't hurt my feelings. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your comment though.

I'm worried that the developers have reached the "can-do-no-wrong" level and any criticism is taken personally by the community. I just don't think the changes they are adding to the expansion "fit."

I like none of this. They are getting defensive about the criticism quality received. It looks like they are trying to add early game bloat. The research triggers look super annoying. Maybe on your first play though that’d be nice to keep from being overwhelmed, but for a game with such replayablility it looks like it keeps you from working ahead.

It seems like these are good ideas for Factorio 2, not an expansion. They should just keep to Space Age and not mess with their beloved game mechanics.

Also having infinite research for rocket parts makes no sense. Having infinite research for mining productivity works because it makes you have to update how you manage resource patches for the increased productivity and throughput. Without that you’d just stamp down the same outpost in the late game. It basically forces “tiers” of outposts. How are you suppose to design a factory around a decreasing need for green circuits? That just seems annoying.

It reminds me of subways five dollar footlong. They made a slogan so piecing and effective that they can’t escape it. Every time I go to subway I notice how much more a sub costs than the five dollars it used to be and every time I hear “pro-life” I think of a very “particular” kind of person.

As former enlisted Navy let me say this. Every officer thinks they’re captain Picard. That they can just say, “make it so” and somehow all of this impossible shit will just happen. Contractors will never work themselves out of a job. Most sailors are fuckups who join because they couldn’t put a life together in the real world. It is literally a billion dollar mess. The train wreck of the LCS program really highlights all these issues.

All jokes aside, this is my favorite ST moment. I remember the first time I saw it and it resonated with me deeply. When data came to terms with the hackers and terrible Xfinity internet, I knew that I could too.

My wife has an affected model, but a push to start version. Getting insurance was fine. They did call to verify that it was the push to start before they finalized the policy, though.

Exactly when the Citizens United Supreme Court decision legalized unlimited dark money in politics.

Hobby CNC

You can get a little table top router and some simple software for a couple hundred bucks. You can go deep into it. Building a custom machine, writing your own post processor, dialing in you CNC to insane levels of accuracy and precision, adding a 4th axis, engineering parts and projects, it goes on. It basically combines robotics, design engineering, and manufacturing engineering all in one hobby.
