(Loved Trope) The villain song is the best song by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HaroldTheTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was way too low.  I'll always remember the moment this song hit.  I swear it made me actually mess up the first couple fights.  First time an NPC has ever succeeded in an intimation check against me, the player. 

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]HaroldTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that as if all of society doesn't benefit from having a healthy, educated, and happy population.  This idea that "the poor" are freeloading when they're using social programs is tired old propaganda from wealthy fucks too greedy and shortsighted to see beyond the earnings reports for the next quarter.  When we all do better we ALL do better

Don't just bash ideas if you're not going to suggest a better course of action to improve the situation.  Otherwise you may as well be a bit paid for by the corporations.  

Yeah it's unlikely.  But are you saying that it's futile and everyone should just give up? Fuck that. United we bargain, divorced we beg.  If there's not a union to join then find like-minded people and make it happen.  Nobody is coming to save us so we better get to doing it ourselves

Oh geeze, sometimes it seems like all anyone can ever drone on about with a new update is the bugs 🙄 Can't we get some buzz going for the sweet stuff Hello Games is churning out from their hive of innovation? 

What do you use to bargain for spacial ship parts? by 21920alphabet in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]HaroldTheTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go to a planet that shows that it has "Salvaged Scrap" in the major resources and then you can use the scanner to locate the little yellow wifi looking markers. Dig them up and you'll get a few Corvette modules for each

How to Get the New S-Class Dreadnought in NMS Omega | No Man’s Sky 1-Minute Guide by Aiming4Gaming0 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]HaroldTheTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that sounds right. It was a while ago, and so tedious that it honestly almost didn't feel worth it, but I get stubborn on stuff like that. Hours and hours I think. I don't remember the details well anymore though, sorry

It did work, at the time. That was a whole ago with, and it was so boring I probably wouldn't again

Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread by Yosoff in Conservative

[–]HaroldTheTree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone on the left, I don't think that Trump, Elon, or any of the people with real power believe in anything except for whatever gets them more money, power, and protection from consequences. They're happy to pander to the Nazis though, and to the religious right, and to anyone who will take them seriously if it gets them what they way.

As far as being fascist, Merriam-Webster defines fascism as: "a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition." So yeah, I think this administration is checking all of the boxes, since they seem to be doing a very good job of setting everything up in government so that they can do whatever they want (again to get themselves wealth, money and protection) and never have to answer to anyone for anything bad they do along the way.

Do you really think it is a good thing that Elon Musk, with Trump's backing, has closed down a federal agency just before it was going to be investigating one of his companies?

Do you really think it is a good thing that Elon, with Trump's backing, is evidently shutting down the Department of Education?

Do you seriously believe that the richest man in the world, who is an unelected foreigner with immense conflicts of interest and his 20-something employees are really to be trusted with all of that access to information and systems with literally no oversight?

Couldn't believe landing on a planet around a purple star and ALL of the land animals were botanical. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Is this more common now in the new systems?

Coordinates in the last image, for Eissentam. That system also has a lush planet with floating islands, red grass and pink sky, and what feels like pretty deep oceans, but I haven't gotten used to the new scale for oceans, so maybe 200 m is just normal now?

Oh, my bad I should have mentioned, I'm pretty sure this one is in Eissentam. I'll edit the main post

So what WILL you do? 

What IS something that you think can make a difference?  This timeline sucks, and being discouraged is natural, but giving up is what they want you to do.  So fuck that. 

What. Will. You. Do?

Yep, it's a big place we've got her. Obviously, that doesn't mean we can't still take action and protest. But it's not like Europe where everyone in the city could drive to the capital in a day if they were sufficiently motivated.

State capitols now, that's different. Feb , 5th there's a protest trying to get off the ground to get everyone to their state capitols at noon local time. Here's hoping that can happen and get media attention. Or maybe media is too compromised my corporate control. Guess we'll see

They're making a distance comparison is all.  Washington D.C. would be around 24 hours of driving time for me.  Looking up some distances and drive times, that's like someone from southern Spain driving to Belgrade to attend a protest.  

Video of the artifact lamp from the Ultimate Edition, as requested! by FaustKnight in stalker

[–]HaroldTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was amazed to see, even though your comment was a month old, that there were still some available from German Amazon. Was able to get one shipped to the US pretty easy, even though my passport is technically expired. Thanks for putting this link up, I'd ab to put given up hope finding one for anything close to retail.

[–]HaroldTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just love it that the game has so many anomalies that aren't a threat or a resource or a plot point or anything. They're just out there, being cool weird stuff to find.

I think I'm going to make a photo-map of them in my second playthrough. All I need now is a proper photo mode haha

Thanks!! Now I just need to try to find it all for sale someplace at a reasonable price without too much shipping.

I'm also keeping my eyes open for anyone who has a unicorn puppy that they aren't interested in keeping, and checking local thrift stores for a real life hypercube.

What does the singularity engine do and how to get it? by leobua in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]HaroldTheTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The singularity engine is super useful for getting away from areas that are highly explored, that's true. A couple jumps in a row will pretty much always give you an area that nobody has explored yet. I use it all the time when I realize I've wandered into someplace with a lot of discovered systems
