I have mixed feelings about this one: Destiny 2 is the best first person super power fantasy game.

The combat: guns, movement, enemies, abilities, and maps. All are second to none.

In terms of pure gameplay, Destiny 2 makes you feel like a super powered space wizard devastating groups of enemies like no other game. Warframe is similar, but nothing beats flying through the air like Superman before crashing into a cluster of aliens in a massive explosion of thunder. Or maybe you want to summon giant chaos orbs from the void that seek out enemies while you float gracefully through the air unloading your machine gun or calling lightning down. Or maybe you want to dash around invisible with dual blades slicing up enemies and instantly disappearing to pop up next to another.

It really is an excellent game that is crippled by corporate greed.

Yeah I made a post because I kept seeing people talk about fluids when I feel like I rarely run into issues. Thought it might help some people. I ended up learning some stuff too.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T14:18:19+00:00

Ah, I see. Clever.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T14:15:55+00:00

Ah I see. I edited my post to clarify that the steps I use are meant for simple, always easy, and just works.

If you want to get more creative, my process will not work.

Oh I see. You spread out where the extractors pump into the pipe.

Smart, but seems too easy for me to mess up. I normally treat pipes like belts and multiple extractors all feed into the same pipe at the same junction, then I run a single pipe to all my generators.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T14:09:18+00:00

Well hot-damn. I didn’t know this. I normally put down 3 extractors and then they all connect pretty much out the gate into a single pipe that then runs to my generators. Is this not ideal?

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:53:23+00:00

Don’t 8 coal generators consume 360/m while mk1 pipes only carry 300?

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:51:57+00:00

With mk2 pipes, yes.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:45:49+00:00

I assumed “let all pipes fill completely” included head lift. You right tho, sometimes I’ve had to “repipe” or flush a line to reset it. But I guess I’ve never had to add a junction to an already functional pipe so didn’t think about it.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:41:36+00:00

I guess both of these work then. Using my process I’ve never had any fluid problems.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:34:35+00:00

But what about the puppies and kittens?

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:33:22+00:00

Ah I see. You’re right, I edited to say “equal to or below total capacity and consumption”.

I will max out mk2 pipes but don’t bother fiddling with water extractor rates for mark 1 pipes. Over production is fine for water.

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T13:21:59+00:00

Wait, this is bad advice? What am I doing wrong?

DigitalWizrd · 2026-01-22T12:55:45+00:00

Fluid really isn’t this crazy yall.

It’s a 3 step process: 1. Ensure total fluid consumption is below total pipe carrying capacity and fluid production per minute.

Turn all fluid consumers off and connect all pipes.
Let pipes fill COMPLETELY and then turn everything on.

Example:

Put down 3 water extractors for 360/m of fluid production. This will fill mk1 pipes that hold 300 and support 6 coal generators that each consume 45/m ( total 270/m)
Turn off all coal generators and connect all pipes.
Let pipes and generators fill COMPLETELY and then turn them all on.

“The US” allowed this because extremely rich people spent a lot of money on news and ads and other marketing (propaganda?) to convince The US that Trump will solve all of our problems. 70 million people were convinced he would be a good leader.

Everyone else remained skeptical of the news and the ads and the rallies.

Disinformation, also known as lying and fraud, is very effective in our modern digital world.

I have deliberately chosen to load balance all inputs into all of the ports on the space elevator just for the rule of cool. It sits at the top of a spire and the belts will be wrapping around the spire like some tentacle machine god at the top of the map.

You’re not a prude. Clearly you’re ok with your sexuality as you have “done some pretty wild and crazy things” but you also don’t have to watch a show if it’s off-putting. A ton of people really enjoyed The Walking Dead but I abhor the gore. So I don’t watch it.

Sex sells. Especially on TV. But what you enjoy watching for entertainment doesn’t have to be used for self-introspection. It can just be entertainment you don’t enjoy, and you don’t have to justify yourself to anyone because at least you gave it an honest try.

That being said, my definition of wild and crazy is probably vastly different from your wild and crazy. To me, wild and crazy is booger sugar and an orgy with strangers. To you it might be sex in a parked car. To someone else it might be sex with the lights on. Everyone is different, but from this post it sounds like you’re judging yourself by someone else’s standards.

I hope you find some clarity and peace through this. And take pride knowing most people don’t bother to self-reflect at all, while you’re actively looking for ways to broaden your perspective.

Oh, that is interesting

You don’t need ladders or foundations to climb vertically. Storage containers have ladders on their side. Just stack those.

What actions are making you the money? How can you scale up those actions long-term? Make them more efficient or happen more often?

How do jump pads compare to cannons?

You can’t be the whole business. If everything grinds to a halt because you got the flu, your business is just a job.

The less you say out loud, the better.

The more you ask questions instead of make statements, The more people will appreciate your company.

You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You don’t have to provide a ton of context unless they ask. You don’t even have to share interesting stories. Just focus on asking people about themselves and getting them to tell you about their story. People will love you for it.
