Simple solution: only allow lower case characters in file names.

No thanks. We don't want your nukes thrown back at us. You gotta solve this yourselves.

In an older version of Stellaris, a cheesy strategy is to abduct or force relocate the entire galaxy onto a single planet.

Usually having an overcrowded planet, has a several drawbacks.

Since you can never generate enough food, your population will always be in decline. But this decline is capped per planet, and is quite small. As long as you can keep abducting and force relocating pops from your conquests, you can grow.

Similarly, you ignore consumer goods for the only cost of a reduction in produced goods from jobs. But you barely produce anything via jobs anyway.

The low happyness and overcrowding causes stability issues on the planet. But again, the negative stability is capped, so you enable martial law on the planet, and build fortresses, which provide a stability boost per soldier job they create. And only stability matters for revolts.

You need minerals, but you can get those from mining asteroids.

Your energy credits come from being a mega church, in which each pop following your religion, generates some credits, along with trade generated per pop.

Alloys come from turning the planet into an ecumenopolis. Although you get a -50% production modifier, it is the only thing you need to produce yourself.

But the real trick is giving all the cramped up pops utopian living standards. In this version of Stellaris, any unemployed pop living in utopian living standards, generated science points and trade value. Usually those are barely worth the extra cost of letting the pop live so luxuriously. But even if you don't provide food and consumer goods, they still provide sciencd and trade.

As a result, you got a stable planet generating insane amounts of science, energy credits, and alloys. While remaining a small empire, which kept tech costs low.

I wonder if blind folk could even use that website then.

Or a beamer if you want a big screen.

Can't really blame them if the meta favors a low int build.

Als je tijdens oud en nieuw plots 5 extra vingers hebt, zou ik toch ff 112 bellen. Misschien niet voor jezelf, maar de vorige eigenaar van die vingers zal het vast op prijs stellen.

According to the article, precise GPS data was stolen. That is much worse than info about when and where you charged your car.

I work in a company where we create a large software product. Over 80 devellopers in my department alone, working on the same product.

I have noticed 2 types of devellopers that are equally necesary for our department to run smoothly.

The first type is the one you are trying to be, but feel you can't be: the one that will conjure up complex systems from scratch. I do consider myself one of these.

The latter one I have much more respect for, as they can do things I can't do as well.

The second type looks at existing systems, code, and solutions, and finds problems in them or tapes them together into a bigger solution. They have heard of issues with a system somewhere before, causing them to debug into the right direction much faster. And they are excellent at reading code and documentation, allowing them to use exiting solutions much easier. Despite them not being the best at creating entirely new solutions, In such a large software product, their skills are extremely valuable.

I get the feeling you would fit into the second category. If so, my suggestion is to look for a position as an integrator. Someone who puts all the code of others together, and debugs the resulting system as a whole. You literally spend your time taping existing stuff together, while you can delegate creating new solutions to the people who create the software you stich together. These other devellopers are your chatGPT for the problems that chatGPT can't solve.

The game is quite playable right now. I had a few minor quest related bugs, a hand full of sudden performance drops, and regular crashes when handling my stash.

The quest bugs seem to have been fixed a lot in the patches already. The performance drops were solvable with a quick save and load. And the crashes only occured for me when using my stash or a trader inventory, so I could quick save before, and never loose any progress. I never figured out the exact trigger to the crashes, but reloading and trying again always fixed them for me.

The game still needs a lot of polish and bug fixing, but it is certaibly playable.

His group is absolutely 1.
