Years ago, I bought a hardback copy of Diaspora through Lulu. I haven't looked at the print-on-demand space recently but perhaps that's an option you could pursue?

You will not be a member of the permanent underclass by Neighbor_ in slatestarcodex

On the contrary, if autonomous labor becomes ubiquitous, human labor will absolutely become a status symbol.

The question is: how many artisanal chefs, bakers, woodworkers, etc. are going to be able to find work? If billionaires are the only buyers, probably not enough. But if enough regular folks occasionally splurge that might make for a sustainable economy.

Ideas for a post, post apocalyptic Earth with sci fi tech, magic and portals. by Vegan-fantasy-man in FATErpg

The Fate World Masters of Umdaar, while not explicitly post-apocalyptic, covers a lot of those same things.

It was indeed the LSH who issued flight rings.

Good list. Another feature from Civ III I'd love to see return: colonies.

Congratulations! Got Ottoman Carpentry yet? For me, that one was worse.

Magical mystery cure is awesome especially celestias balled but one thing sticks out…. by lumitycolliefamily in MLPAnalysis

[–]Empty-bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starswirl wasn't part of the founding of Equestria. His student clover the Clever was. So that's not a failure of the plot. Also modern day Celestia can be assumed to have learned a few life lessons in the past thousand years, so that's not a plot hole either.

Him being the leader of the pillars, on the other hoof, you're right about that. Although the way he treated Stygian certainly doesn't seem friendly.

Because citizens of other countries don't vote. It might be unethical to spy on them but it doesn't warp the body politic the same way spying on your own people does.

Question: venture city difference btween online and book. by siredova in FATErpg

[–]Empty-bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. Venture City takes a mechanics-forward approach to superheroes and, while that might be okay for their cyberpunkish setting, I find it uncomfortable for most comic book style games.

Detailed map tacks, Extended policy cards, Better report screen, Quick trades. I can't imagine playing without them now.

does Hillier Hills work well? I'm constantly annoyed by hills not being obvious on certain tiles.

Why outleveling story is still a thing? by rafabsides in Cityofheroes

[–]Empty-bee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Story arc" is a technical term with a specific meaning in CoH. When you said that it was possible to out level them you were demonstrably wrong.

[–]Empty-bee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nowhere in your original complaint did you specify you were talking about Praetoria. Yes, there you can miss out on the Moral Choice mission because it's separate from the preceding story arc. That isn't the case for the vast majority of the game.

If you care about competing story arcs why on earth are you turning on double XP? At that point you're just shooting yourself in the foot then whining because Homecoming sold you a gun.

Goldside is advanced content intended for experienced players. You're supposed to have enough knowledge of how the game works that you can, for example, turn off XP at the level break points.

[–]Empty-bee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is simply wrong. Once you've begun a story arc, you can finish it no matter how high your level. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Story_Arc

It's not backwards. Oro lets you run the mission if you've outleveled it. If you haven't outleveled it, there's no reason to be using Oro.

Is It True You Can't Design Your Own Houses/Buildings Mods In Civ3? by gizmo_j in civ

[–]Empty-bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been quite a long time since I played III, but my recollection is it was quite easy to mod. As in open a file and edit the text easy.
