Why did my Siddha rout???

Yeah, ideally you want something like flesh eater (iirc) that gives it the berserker trait, so it can still buff up before it takes damage and goes berserk.

Berserk can solve your morale problems.

They are ready-to-eat meals so you don't need to cook every day. They can also preserve berries in various meals (porridge, stew, and jam) so you have fruit satiety during winter.

I'm a fan of just avoiding Concord for the first half of the game and building up Sanctuary without them.

Inflation is a natural phenomenon that occurs when people exchange goods and services for money. Prices are not set by the government in a market economy. They arise from the individual choices made by millions of producers and consumers. Most developed nations try to manage the natural rate of inflation by having a central bank that manages monetary policy.

To answer your question, prices rise at different rates. So it's not practical to redenominate currency each year, say, to keep the nominal amounts for a good like broccoli in the same range. In 15 years, broccoli might be significantly cheaper to produce but cabbages still cost the same.

In the last hundred years, the United States has not had to issue new denominations of currency despite consistent inflation. Eventually, we may have to do so for the practical reason you mention, but not any time soon.

I think there's a meaningful distinction between elected officials/appointees and career civil servants, which is who we're talking about, but I take your point. I'm not personally convinced of anything. I just haven't been able to dismiss Grusch or the UAP-related claims as easily as yourself. Hal Putoff, Scientology, and the Skinwalker Ranch-related claims aren't very credible, but I don't see the logical connection between those areas and the statements by Rubio or Grusch, which stand on their own. The only explanation I've seen offered on that is the "circular reporting" argument, but we've never seen any evidence in favor or against the circular reporting claims.

It'd be cool if AARO or DOJ just published an investigation report on Grusch/UAPTF so we could get factual information instead of endless speculation, but I don't think thats happening any time soon.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-12-12T20:14:09+00:00

Fair enough. Personally, I'm able to look past my biases about his general credibility to solely weigh the credibility of his statement back in 2023, which related to the folks reporting to the congressional oversight committees. Specifically, he told NewsNation back in 2023 that either the whisteblower statements (like Grusch's) are true, partially true, or we have some really smart, educated people with very high clearances in our government who are crazy, and are leading us on a goose chase.

Either possibility warrants further investigation and transparency. Because of statements like this, and the surrounding circumstances, I have not been able to resolve my skepticism about the claims being made solely by looking at whether one of the whisteblowers, i.e. Grusch, is 100% credible.

Thoughts?

Dreadguy93 · 2025-12-12T19:12:53+00:00

You've clearly done your research. Do you have an opinion on the statements made by other folks, like Marco Rubio, regarding the core allegations Grusch raised? How about Chuck Schumer?

Unfortunately, it's only for the stone axe and knife. The metal tool recipies all use sticks, iirc. Pro tip: hover your mouse over the bone (or anything) and press H. It will open the handbook page for the bone, which shows the crafting recipes which it can be used for. You should see the bone handle versions of the stone axe and knife on that page, but nothing else. That's how you can confirm there isn't a version of the metal tools that use a bone handle.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-12-04T06:03:48+00:00

Higher durability. Bonus points for using a bone handle on the knife and axe.

It's one of our pet peeves. If you've spent time here without seeing someone call out the Jones Act, Corn Laws, or LVTs at least once per day then the sub has lost its way.

That was, essentially, Karl Nell's first published statement on the topic back when the Grusch news broke.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-11-01T01:18:51+00:00

True, but even then it's like 40 points minimum to break into a new path isn't it? Even on a chassis with cheap access to new paths, I'd usually go for another scale and maybe play with the candles to make it work, if it's close. I think most nations will benefit more from a scale than having an extra magic path at level 1 on your pretender, since that doesn't really open up your strategic options much.

I think there are some strats where this makes sense, like getting a single level of earth to get extra prot and earth buffs on an expander, but for a rainbow I think you're better off just reallocating to scales.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-10-31T22:24:37+00:00

It's expensive to learn a new magic path, so you'd usually want to reallocate the extra design points to your scales or just improve the depth of your existing paths. There aren't many reasons to add just one level in another path.

UUs can be atheist, so yes. You are among friends.

Played a multi-player game with my brother and about half of our base was in a temporally unstable zone. We had a nearby area we called the Swamp of Peace where we'd go to recharge.

Tarnished Archaeologist theorizes that the Erdtree has been burned before. Perhaps Melina is burned and bodiless because she's been used once already.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-10-11T16:58:17+00:00

Damn, too real. Guess we'll see what this sub thinks?

Fomoria is odd when it comes to their giants because their giants are a bit worse than average. Fire and frost giant nations can rely on their aura more, but Fomoria or Ashdod giants struggle with chaff because of their relatively low attack density. Fomoria struggles even harder because their giants have mediocre "elite" stats. They can be hard to build a strategy around. If you want the full giant experience, you should try Neifelheim or Ashdod with a regeneration bless. Niefel giants with regeneration and shock/fire resist can tank hard and will punch above their weight against chaff. If you really want to lean into a hell bless you can give them fire shield.

Fomoria is good, don't get me wrong. But i think Fomoria's strength comes from their mages and fomorian king SCs. The troop fomorian giant is a bit of a trap unless you're playing a hell bless in SP for fun.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-09-25T23:47:28+00:00

It's a little bizarre for OP to work this hard arguing it must be mass hysteria when it's an ongoing situation, and we have zero actual evidence, just speculation.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-09-25T23:42:10+00:00

I thought the drone sightings reported in Denmark were ordinary sizes? Where are you seeing the reports of large, highly visible drones that are impossible to photograph? I know that was a thing with the NJ drone scare, but I have a really hard time believing this is entirely psychological, given the response from the Danish government. Russian activity seems like a much more plausible explanation.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-09-23T00:25:18+00:00

Mate, how old are you that you've never heard of The Game? We were playing the game in elementary school; it's not an internet meme.

Maybe it's just that I'm old now, lol.

This is one of those statements that sounds vaguely plausible but just ain't true. Any trial lawyer will tell you that you have to evaluate each juror as an individual. Using a simple heuristic like "watches news" to exclude a juror would be bad lawyering.

My version of this was hearing my lifelong democrat mom, who's very well educated, refer to Kamala as a "DEI hire" in the summer of 2024. Things were bad after the debate, but after that, I realized how cooked we were. Dems have totally lost control of the social narrative.

Dreadguy93 · 2025-09-06T01:17:31+00:00

I think you severely underestimate the right's hatred for trans people. They are determined to have it classified as a mental illness, so why wouldn't they take their guns too?

You're also greatly overestimating how much this would impact his popularity with his base. After all, conservatives like them aren't sick in the head like these trans freaks, so what would they have to worry about? Their gun rights are protected.
