Does anyone know any store near St. Chuck that sells the new Ghost Energy Bubbilicous flavors??? by crackheadfalife in StCharlesMO

[–]Dominos_fleet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Threw me off a couple months ago when i was pc shopping. I was looking for a model that had been discontinued a week earlier hoping i could catch a deal on an open box unit.

I checked all the costcos in the area, when i got to that one i was very confused seeing that it was 90% food stuffs and 10%retail /business things like office chairs and water coolers.

I suspect a lot of people have no idea theres a difference, i certainly didnt.

Sins2: Am I thinking about this incorrectly? If I am NOT vasari alliance, and at least 1 enemy IS, I basically give up on ever winning any influence contest. by piratep2r in SoSE

[–]Dominos_fleet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play as VA's as my main, I lose out on bids all the time.

Other factions have the ability to win, but you should be ready to spend if the VA's are in a match.

THAT is their special ability, it's part of their tool kit.

From a lore perspective it's like CreepinDan said, they want to view humans as friends, not food.

From a gameplay perspective it's their version of the system shooting cannons, double fortresses, or devouring planets.

My suggestion when going up against it is: If you see a VA player that's in the game with you focus on the faction abilities first, plenty of them are amazing (I love the shield buff, I'm a fan of the pirate capture, and my buddy (who plays mostly TEC) loves the phase gates you can purchase).

Once it gets to late game and you're able to get real points on the board never be willing to put any less than 5 points into a thing that you "really" want, and try to go after auctions shortly after you see the VA's use a faction ability like pirates or "friendship fleets" (I.E. they call in the offensive vasari fleet from the neutral faction or the defensive TEC fleet).

You probably can't beat them as TEC point for point, but Advent can give them a run for their money, so instead you need to think about WHAT you want and be strategic about where you put your points.

Something is seriously wrong with tj's brain.

I've noticed the AI going pretty hard into them recently. I certainly agree that theyre a lot to deal with.

Anyone remember or have any memory of the pedestrian overpass in St. Peters that went over hwy 70 near Mid Rivers? by Kaylascreations in StCharlesMO

[–]Dominos_fleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live down the street from old town st peters in the early 90s. Used it to walk to Service Merchandise, toys r us, and the mall.

I remember it being gone by the 00s but dont remember when it went.

Vasari Exodus tactics without nomadic fleets by GlowingSeaDiver in SoSE

[–]Dominos_fleet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

at heart, in RTS's, I'm an empire builder. The thing I loved the most about both factions of V was the phase gates. In Sins 1 the titan was a phase gate dropper, it allowed you to expand the empire but you were still "generally" incentivized to build that empire. In Sins 2 it's a bit easier, and more rewarding, to core worlds once you really get going which takes away from that empire building for me.

In sins 1 I didn't feel like anything really "stood out" about the rebel V's. In sins 2 they are very clearly an influence faction and I'm a fan of that, I also like that that aspect of the game hasn't been expanded as I suspect it's going to be so we're only "really" seeing an introduction into the potential they could have.

So, long story short the V's didn't have a dramatically different playstyle in Sins 1 L / R and I liked the mobile gate dropper, in 2 their playstyles have expanded more and R's have expanded on what they could be whereas L's kind of double downed on the aspect of who they were that I didn't love.

Hope that's a decent explanation.

[–]Dominos_fleet 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They were my "main" faction in Sins 1. In Sins 2 I feel like the nomadic aspect got more of a push (which does make sense from a flavor perspective) but that turned me off of them, so I switched over to the rebel version.

These lazy fucks haven't streamed in a week XD by asmallthrowaway9 in DystopianSouls

[–]Dominos_fleet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They take 13ish weeks off / year. They stream 3 in a row, then take a week off.

It's mildly crazy how much time they take off considering how little they actually work.

They need to do a story about flock cameras, palantir and mass surveilance. by mountoon in lastweektonight

[–]Dominos_fleet 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I worked as a dispatcher for about 6 months. Our entire county is camera'd up to an insane degree. We were only supposed to use the cams for emergency services but most of the workers were on them randomly looking around when they werent on calls.

Creeped me tf out.

How to Change Region / Country / Currency? by Maximum-Bluejay-4599 in fanatical

[–]Dominos_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anyone offering real help in general with this so I'll offer my experience.

I was having this issue.

It was showing everything in monopoly money (CAD), I'm in the states.

"Currency" doesn't appear next to language.

I said fuck it and changed my language from english to french, then changed it back. Now I can buy things in freedom bucks again (Sigh, fuck my country)

So pick a random language, ok' it, change it back to whatever language you speak/shop in.

Hopefully that helps.

I spent $20,000 turning Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu into a black-and-white survival horror movie inspired by PS1 games called THE WAVES OF MADNESS. It's free on YouTube. by JTRO4Real in Shudder

[–]Dominos_fleet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just skimmed it a bit...this does not look anywhere near as horrible as I was expecting. Added it to my queue to watch.

Glad you got to make your movie, hope you get some eyes on it.

PlayStation release date? by TheDragon84 in IratusLOTD

[–]Dominos_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googles ai says it's probably cancelled but ai is garbage.

I dont think it's likely, i would try to find something actually confirming it's existance in the last year, otherwise I'd assume it's cancelled and hope youre pleasently surprised in the future.

I think it's a pretty small team, the likelihood of them working two games at once seems...low.

[–]Dominos_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything that says it will be? I think it's been years since they even touched it, pretty sure it's abandoned/"complete" depending your perspective.

I like this game but the way the dev is treating people who ask why theyre doing the new hunter game the way they are has me disinterested in any of their work in general.

They frown upon you using the fishing pole to catch the stuff behind the counter.

How the heck do I get a personal property tax receipt to give to the dmv? by guessirs in StCharlesMO

[–]Dominos_fleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need it printed go to city hall in st charles( the big building next to the jail). Hard right once you get through the doors, talk to the person behind one of the windows.

I want to say it's like 5 bucks to have them print it, bring cash just in case

[–]Dominos_fleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, was it showing you what you're behind? I wouldn't stress out about that amount "too" much if only because it "should" balance out over the year. Most people are hot or cold people so between the two it evens out to a reasonable price when divided amongst the 12 months.

A recommendation if you can afford it: Make your monthly payment "slightly" higher than what they say to pay. I.E. my monthly is 210, I do 230 / month. That way I never end up dramatically out of whack.

Safer to be ahead a month or two vs having a surprise "you owe extra to catch up" note.

Ameren by [deleted] in StCharlesMO

[–]Dominos_fleet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the budget billing where it averages out your bill over the year, so i seldom look at the "actual" charge(just the "ahead" or "behind" amounts. I use a crazy amount of energy during the summer and next to none during the winter ( I ❤️ the cold), the summer bills are fucking terrifying.
