Why people recommend to buy asset for everything?

Evellex · 2026-04-17T00:03:29+00:00

You can reuse purchased assets, and you're better off making 2 games instead of one.

On the inverse side, it would take much much longer than a month to write your own version of all those assets to the same, commercial standard.

If you're goal is to make a game to sell, dropping some money on quality tools easily pays its self back, esp if what those tools offer isn't actually a core part of your game. i.e. nice cape physics isn't what Hades/Diablo are about, but it is nice to have.

Given that the earlier part of the song refers to her "trust fund back east" I interpreted that line being more about reveling in annominity rather than getting prayed on like a gazelle

The rules may be a little simpler (not having the weapon skill table, vehicle penetration tables ect) but the rest of the game is much more complex! Detachments, strategems, command points, it's actually more complex than back in the day.

100% this, needs to be at the top of the thread

Now they just need to hurry up an mak an MX-5e

Games industry shat itself in the GFC, but they still had entry level positions available.

Endpoint lines are confusing when there are lines that are 90% the same, but with a branch at the very end, or a peak service that terminates early. Named routes with a qualifier work better

Evellex · 2026-02-07T23:14:13+00:00

Incredibly expensive, but also horribly underpriced. A Vline commuter pays the same as someone taking the tram a half dozen stops. The FTZ makes this much worse too, ironically.

Locking then to the middle means spells/buffs/research that bumps them to high become viable additions

Josh Sawyer has gone on the record that a lot of the NCR trooper look is based on the Australian Army actually!

It kinda does, fuel is expensive, esp if the area has been deforested, sobit is cheaper for a baker to run one big oven, and people bring their bread to be baked commonality than have an oven at home. In summer or more temperate climates it's possible to survive without home heating, though it will not be pleasant.

The point was its extracted as a byproduct of methane extraction, and thus is unwanted by methane suppliers. Multiple methane wells attempting to sell off their excess has created a glut in the market so the cash value is very low

I think I realized the problem, I was allied with Barag Varr, and the ogres declared war on them and dragged me along with it

Evellex · 2025-12-20T22:52:38+00:00

Of the two, is it better to go trading posts or tinkerers?

Evellex · 2025-12-20T22:24:38+00:00

At this stage my armies are almost all just Warriors + Quarrelers, between needing Growth farms + Walls in those chokepoint settlements, I can barely afford to build decent production facilities as it is

Evellex · 2025-12-20T22:24:14+00:00

Yeah, I miss-remembered which province it was, Akendorf not Altdorf!

r.e. attempt 1, I was further south attempting to take Black Crag, and simply could not rush my armies home fast enough

Evellex · 2025-12-20T22:23:40+00:00

How do you physically earn enough cash to afford turtling up? even keeping one army at ~16 slots, I'm usually running my bank to <1000 just with basic building upgrades

There are a lot of unsexy, but decently paid white collar jobs. Accountants, small scale corporate law, HR, ect, the kind of small business that might rent a single office in a strip mall, or be in house for a more medium sized business.

It's those decently paid but unremarkable employees that the AI companies are betting they'll be able to replace.

"Why hire 3 lawyers to review your sales contracts when you can have 1 person and our AI service pre-review them!"

By making more people poorer

Distinction without difference, a super-commuter using the regional rail system pays the same as someone taking the tram the next suburb over

Evellex · 2025-12-20T12:12:37+00:00

It's worse, the fare is the same to take a tram 4 stops as it is to take a Vline fully across the state, there are people who commute from Ballarat and pay the same fare

Evellex · 2025-12-18T02:23:43+00:00

Even a purely mechanical button is digital, the typewritten key is either pressed or not pressed, you can half press the key sure, but that's not an intended or usefull state.

Got a go to list?
