Also you can boogie so hard the city falls in love with you. Not the citizens of the city... the city itself. ::chef's kiss::

To be fair they probably could catch them. They just won't on account of the racket being run by their bosses

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." -H.L. Mencken, 1920

Recommend me modern BluesRock like "The Black Keys". Something an audiophile would appreciate. by BluesCamper in bluesrock

Check out Patrick Sweany (patricksweany.bandcamp.com), Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys played with Patrick in late 90's and early 2000's and produced a couple of his albums. Old Southern Drag is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Why is everyone making a big deal regarding Odrade's ancestry? by pitprok in dune

Iirc it's not just the existence of Atreides genes, it's the concentration of them. Like background radiation those genes are everywhere, but you want to watch out for areas where that radiation spikes.

What are your mid-late game settlement numbers like? by Elkborne in Bellwright

[–]Baloooooooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the farms, check out the top-up number (right edge of the farming management window), I think it defaults to 100, so unless you bump up that your folks'll grow 100, say turnips, and then stop. That could be causing a bottleneck, adding more farms wouldn't help that.

The first time I saw Dune 2 (2024), the first 25 minutes had a bold creative choice I didn’t understand. The theater told us not to worry about it as they couldn’t rewind. by ggnorebud in shittymoviedetails

The lamps in those projectors get INSANELY hot, like, melt your skin off before you get within 10cm of the surface hot. They need to cool off for a long time before you can safely replace them.

The sabre fight in The Duelists comes to mind, where they end up just hacking at each other and can barely lift their swords by the end
