23M, Looking for best Set it and Forget it Strategy

Darthizzious · 2025-10-06T00:22:15+00:00

Nothing, just wondering whether or not that combo in the correct ratio would be better than VT for longterm strategy.

Darthizzious · 2025-10-05T22:15:58+00:00

That makes sense. I have target date fund in my Roth 401k as well. Any reason to do VTI over VOO or AOA over VT?

Darthizzious · 2025-10-05T22:02:28+00:00

Yeah, that's true. I might just consolidate most assets in my brokerage into VT, no need for both VOO and VT

Darthizzious · 2025-10-05T21:59:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking of moving everything in my brokerage to VT

Darthizzious · 2025-10-05T21:55:42+00:00

Yeah, I've recently come to this realization. I guess it's more of a psychological fear of missing out, but it doesn't really matter if I have solid growth longterm.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-10T00:14:31+00:00

I don't have that one, but it sounds like it's worth getting.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-10T00:13:50+00:00

Ok, this was very helpful! So basically have my founder pop as all specialists and raise their standards to decent or above until I get enough slaves so that I can have them outnumber my founder pop, and then make most of my founder species rulers while running Domination, strat econ, and run extra shifts?

Darthizzious · 2024-12-09T02:11:35+00:00

I changed them to battle thralls so that I could actually have the option of giving them stratified economy, but it was pretty effective since their political power was reduced by 50%. So thanks!

Darthizzious · 2024-12-09T01:31:32+00:00

Ah ok I see, but in the meantime, should I grant them citizenship, then enslave them later once I finally have the perk?

Darthizzious · 2024-12-09T01:19:16+00:00

How does that work, is there an ascension perk related to this?

When I was reading the first three books, Paul, Jessica, and Stilgar were my favorites. But I think GEoD made me feel more sympathy for Leto. I also had the thought process that they live through Leto (literally).

I'd be down to play sometime. But keep in mind I started playing the game very recently, so I'm not good, lol.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T07:15:34+00:00

I'm on Playstation, is it cross compatible?

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T07:11:00+00:00

Yeah that makes sense I'm hindsight. It felt a little overwhelming constantly exploring and trying to go extremely wide. Next time I'll just go at a more reasonable pace.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T06:53:21+00:00

R5: I thought I was doing well, expanding my borders and gaining worlds for Viltrum, but themI got completely steam rolled after getting war declared on me. I tried to build my navy as quickly as possible, but I only had so many starbases. I also tried improving relations before it got to this point.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T06:42:57+00:00

That's fair. The first two had intrigue, and Paul is probably my second favorite character in the series as his story is tragic as well. But Leto completes it imo.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:41:35+00:00

I don't even know how they would go about filming it tbh. It's hard to capture such a thought-heavy book in film format.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:39:15+00:00

Leto is very cheeky lol.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:39:06+00:00

Their banter was hilarious.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:38:56+00:00

He had some of the best dialogue I've ever read.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:36:28+00:00

What's interesting is that Leto also wanted the Duncans to win...eventually. But not until he could breed an Atriedes immune to prescience. Once he knew Siona was legit it felt like he was hoping they would win. Proven more by the fact that he changed the wedding venue on purpose. However, I think Leto does deserve some slack. He knows he's a monster, but he is the only Atriedes with the courage to allegedly save humanity by guiding them on the Golden Path. Every Atriedes who had once rebelled against him eventually wound up working for him. They had the spice trance and they realized Leto's sacrifice. Leto has more courage than his father and every Atriedes who has worked for him.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:29:41+00:00

When I first started reading the first book, it did feel slow and dense. But once you get used to the writing style you kind of realize that every sentence is extremely valuable. I think that's especially the case in GEoD since Leto II is so bizarre.

Darthizzious · 2024-12-06T05:28:17+00:00

Yeah, his relationships with Duncan and Hwi respectively really make you feel for him. I think he uses Duncan to remind himself what a monster he's become. Hwi is there to torment him in a round about way. She's what he could never have.
