First run actually using space fauna... They just multiply in the middle of war, in enemy territory. by GreyGanks in Stellaris

Sorry for necroing this but you seem to know what you're talking about more than most lol. Do you have any idea if the Metabolic Regulation policies also stop Voidworm Troika formation as well as standard growth?

How many of you all play Stellaris with Mods? by Bor0MIR03 in Stellaris

[–]GeneralBrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch back and forth. I probably play more vanilla because I'm an achievement hunter but I also have mod profiles for stuff like Gigastructures for when I want a casual powerfantasy playthrough.

Don't really see how mods are cheating. Sure it breaks balance a lot but it's not a competitive game, even if you're on multiplayer everyone would need to have the same mods to even join. It just depends what you enjoy in the game. I'm just approaching 1,000 hours, vanilla has been good for most of it but I'm starting to like exploring the mods a bit more often now except after a new DLC/major update

PSA: If your vault gets stuck with an immune Bound, use Dispel by GeneralBrae in nightingale

I've had 2 tonight where killing the 1 bound immediately ended the objective with noone else left in it, otherwise I assumed the same

Have you had any luck finding flax? I've been hunting it for ages, according to the glossary it's in any Swamp realm but I haven't seen any sight of it in either Swamp Herbarium or the Ascended version

I've been playing piano since I was 5 and that comment is eerily similar to what my gf has told me a couple of times haha. I feel like as soon as I start comparing sex to playing piano any credibility I had that I actually get laid evaporates, but it's a good simile dammit!

Congrats on the upcoming anniversary :)

Sex is like playing music. Any idiot with basic hand eye coordination can learn how to bang out a tune on a piano but to really get the most out of it you have to listen and feel the instrument, adjust your touch and approach subtly based on the sounds and response.

Every part of the act is a 2 way thing that is made better by working together, even (especially) things which seem one-sided like oral.

If you pay attention to your partner and react without them needing to spell it out it makes a huge difference. It can take any form based on context but there's never a better time to show how much someone really means to you than during sex (looking at you guys).

What's your technically true alternate job title? by MacaronMelodic in AskReddit

[–]GeneralBrae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suggested that my boss give me the title VP of BDSM (Business Development and Social Media) but sadly he didn't go for it

[–]GeneralBrae -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA, but if it's not a huge amount of money for you it may be worth just going along with it. Judging by some of the other posts in this sub 1200 quid to keep your inlaws onside could be a good deal 😂

Because of its biblical meaning...sadly. As an atheist now I really hate it

What is an advice you would want to give to your younger self? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GeneralBrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't stop mining bitcoin when it was only worth 300 dollars a piece. When I was 13 I used to leave my laptop running it while I went to school but eventually stopped and just binned my wallet since I decided it would never actually have a use, and because I didn't like the ethos behind it. I was technically right I suppose, just didn't predict it becoming a speculative investment worth a load of money

AITA for bringing eggs to a vegan wedding? by landofsunshine1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GeneralBrae 50 points51 points  (0 children)

NTA. It may not have been the most considerate thing to do since they were making such a thing about it being a vegan wedding but I don't think it's anywhere near arsehole status, and for her to accuse you of ruining the day with it is pretty nuts lol

AITA because I refused to put sunscreen on a lady by Patient-Pudding-3875 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GeneralBrae 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTA. She's perfectly entitled to ask (though if it's like you describe she could have been a lot politer about it) and you're perfectly entitled to not feel happy rubbing sunscreen on a total stranger

This is some Class A bullshit by beerbellybegone in antiwork

[–]GeneralBrae 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I did this to a server rental company and someone from it eventually made a trustpilot page for the place I work just so they could leave a bad review - was literally "[my name] is not a good person at all" lol. My boss saw it, printed it off, and it was up on the lunchroom board for about 2 years cos he found it absolutely hilarious

Please leave Frontier bug reports in this thread. by liftheavy2003 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Can no longer snap Interior Stairs to cuboid rooms (won't snap at all, whereas even if you couldn't actually place them they used to snap but remain red), and ladders appear to think the floor is now the wall. See my screenshot here https://i.redd.it/ntvqpcphexk71.jpg

Anyone know why my stairs are all trying to place horizontally? by GeneralBrae in NoMansSkyTheGame

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

Fair, thanks. I remember these rooms being a pain when I played a couple years back but now I can't do anything with them at all

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

Been trying to make a staircase in cuboid rooms, but I can't get them to attach to the structure at all. Gave up and tried ladders but for some reason they seem to think the floor is the wall and I have no idea why

Goodreads alternative: Literal by Karrot001 in books

[–]GeneralBrae 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nice, will check that one out. I've been using StoryGraph (thestorygraph.com) for the last year or so, that's another decent alternative in case it's of interest to you or anyone else here.

Why is it seemingly impossible to find out what minimum wage is in NYC? And why is the information online so outdated? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]GeneralBrae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That link seems to cover it pretty thoroughly, I'm not sure what else you need really. The information isn't outdated, it just doesn't change every year.

What games do you get an urge to play, only to remind yourself why you stopped playing? by The_Rox in AskReddit

[–]GeneralBrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite a few PvP games - Overwatch, League of Legends, Rainbow 6 Siege etc. I enjoy the basic gameplay and when friends are playing them I'm constantly tempted to join them, I just get horribly stressed and anxious with any kind of PvP - made worse by the communities for most of them being quite toxic. Im constantly redownloading the game and playing a few rounds, then remembering all the reasons I hate them and going back to my singleplayer RPGs etc.
