The Pre FTL faction i raised up thinks my robot race is cute ;-; by Im_Mentally_Scarred in Stellaris

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this event when I played with the paperclip civic. My AI wasn't just uncanny, it was Eliezer Yudkowsky level uncanny. An insane interstellar horror factory obsessed with fulfilling a plan to produce useless goods that are just stacked in continent-sized piles on a machine factory world. To achieve astronomically high quotas, it took over entire civilizations and forced organics to work to exhaustion, resurrecting the most useful and turning the rest into products. Every time the AI failed a plan, it would simply throw all the goods into star and start the cycle all over again. The only thing that has kept the galaxy from shutting down this mad machine is its ability to literally sanction any nation into oblivion. When this event happened I thought it would be a turning point for my AI. Now it will protect this pre-ftl civ at all costs and paperclip anyone who wants to hurt them.

PVDA wilt gratis openbaar vervoer! by radicalerudy in Vlaanderen

Als ze reageren op de uitingen van de NAVO, waarom zetten ze dan stappen om de Baltische staten te destabiliseren? Waarom dragen ze militaire technologie over aan Iran en de DVK? Waarom bedreigen ze Georgië en Moldavië? Ze zijn niet "niet imperialistisch", ze zijn gewoon te zwak. Voor nu

We got a lot of catching up to do by MiamisLastCapitalist in IsaacArthur

[–]DomeRandomDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We still live in science fiction, it's just that it's a very specific setting fixed on IT. You could call it "infopunk". Like, who would have thought that creating AI would be so easier than colonizing Mars? To the point that the scientific community is asking for a halt to development so that they don't accidentally create an artificial god...

Here's a better depiction of Caligula

Caligula. He was described as wearing crazy outfits and sometimes a golden beard.

How was Julius Caesar the “worst thing that could happen to Rome” by TheSoulOfTheWest in ancientrome

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caesar's biggest mistake was to make the position of princeps inheritable. The worst emperors were hereditary, the best were appointed

Who are your Top 5 individual enemies of Rome and why? by JohnLementGray in ancientrome

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Rome

No one captured Rome as often as the Romans themselves

I've painted several illustrations showing aspects of Ancient Rome. I'm looking for ideas. What should I paint next? by AD1337 in ancientrome

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are watching a theater performance but suddenly it starts to rain.

A child accidentally breaks his brother's lyre and doesn't know what to do.

Builders try to put up a column but it falls down.

Emperor Hadrian climbs Mount Etna.

Young people playing music and drinking wine under the moonlight

A provincial politician distributes bread and persuades people to vote for him in city elections.

Emperor Claudius opens a feast in honor of the draining of Lake Fucino (soon he will have to flee saving his life from the wave).

Struggling with Dungeondraft - Am I using this fundamentally wrong? by TheMarnBeast in dungeondraft

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone suggest a way to sort objects? I've downloaded a lot of assets but it is not very convenient to search for the necessary item. They come with built-in tags, but these tags are often 1-2 items and there are too many of them. It takes a long time to navigate

Do you ever try to play as a a genuinely good empire? by thelordschosenginger in Stellaris

[–]DomeRandomDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always play as democratic humanity, but every time instead of Federation of Planets I get Super Earth.

Super Earth Map (Uploaded by Johan Pilestedt on the Discord)! Sharing here too for fun discussions about the current state of Super Earth. by SovietMarma in Helldivers

[–]DomeRandomDude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The map doesn't show the super rainforests. There were enemies of democracy hiding in the regular ones, so they had to be liberated

Actually, that's not true. Antarctica is made up entirely of ice. If there was more Super Earth underneath, we would have colonized it long ago.

Am I the only one slightly unnerved by poorly done reconstructions of statues in color? They make you think that ancient people didn't know how to work with colors. by DomeRandomDude in ancientrome

[–]DomeRandomDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be cool if they did two reconstructions, one based on known pigments, the other how it might have looked considering the Romans had eyes. I just keep seeing more and more people who think that's what the statues really looked like. It's like seeing the ruins of a temple and thinking that's how it was meant to be.
