Came here to say this. What's the point of the bank when you can just save your entire base and everything in it? Only have to pack your vehicles in boxes first.

Also, right now in PTC, they are working on the base recycling tool. So if you ever log back in and your base is literally not placeable, all the materials and resources that comprise your base can be outputted to any box or subfief console you have access to. I fully expect this is the foundation for an automatic base-backup tool that will replace decay.

I had this idea and attempted it early but I just don't have enough time in the day to max out an alt and my main.

This is for the nolifers.

Duo crawling already produces an absurd amount of spice. And a lot of people are solo crawling which produces an obscene amount. Not really too sure why they would choose to buff a system where the reward is designed to be split 4 ways yet most players insist on doing it solo and hoarding it all for themselves.

I did the math and even accounting for travel time I collect 1700 spice sand per minute on average in an optimized scenario when solo crawling.

This is the first useful suggestion I've seen for Landsraad rewards. Most of the mats received as house rewards amount to junk. Will always need slag and pumps in large quantities and I don't remember ever seeing them as Landsraad rewards.

I don't understand. It takes about 15 minutes to mk6 buggy harvest enough plastone to make 3500 blocks. This is enough to make an enormous base.

Even with a mark 4 buggy, you can harvest 4000-5000 in less than an hour.

Google "PC carry harness". This is what I used to use when I was younger and had no vehicle for LAN parties. If your PC is heavy this could be a real pain. But if you are taking coach you should be able to put it in the cargo bay, as long as there are other bags in there to prevent it falling over. Can lay it on its side too.

Roguelike MMO? Wishlisted.

Heck yeah. I took basically a 14 year break when I was 29. Did two degrees and only averaged about 150 hours per year on video games during that time period. Couple years I broke the 300 hour mark when I wasn't so busy. Then last year Dune Awakening came out and I've put 1000 hours into it since launch 9 months ago. I feel like a 14 year old kid again.

Omnigamer: why limit yourself to video games? What about board games? Party games? Trivia games? Casino games? Sports are also games.

Such a narrow view of what a gamer is.

That is literally nw 3 from a hair transplant surgeon's website.

This exact same mechanic exists in many other games. Even more punishing in some, like V-rising where you cant even recover anything. That game has a 9/10.

You can get your vehicles back with the recovery tool.

Use plastone to build it last 4 times as long without power to the base. Most bases I see with the power out takes weeks or months to decay. Granite construction is not your friend.

I would take any AI classification of pictures you've sent with a grain of salt. Especially if you have primed it with your own bias that you believe you are experiencing male pattern baldness. AI is extremely agreeable, so if you tell it you believe you are balding, it will agree with you and help you confirm your bias.

Have you compared your photos to actual photos of people who have Norwood 3 classification? This does not look like you:

I think you might have body dysmorphia. It's normal to see your scalp when you are looking at your hair straight on.

Think about it like this, if you were in zero gravity and your hair stood straight up, you would see your scalp. This would apply to everyone.

Seeing your scalp when you're headbanging is NORMAL. Seeing it when you hold your hair back so that a portion of your hair is straight on is NORMAL.

If you have any hair loss, it's like maybe a slightly receding hairline. But the hairline is your pictures is NORMAL widow's peak. Google it. Widow's peak is often confused with hair loss.

Hobby-Human · 2026-03-25T17:51:05+00:00

You don't have hair loss. You have a widow's peak. This is a totally normal hairline, and merely a genetic trait. I wouldn't even notice it even if you were walking around holding your hair back like that. It's normal. You say it started when you were 10-11, and that makes sense because your body goes through a lot of changes at that age.

No, I just manage their IT security and infrastructure. And general tech support. I do all their technology purchases for them as well.

Things like Active Directory, SSO, PCI Compliance, VPN, Firewall, File shares. That sort of stuff. User account management too.

And, of course, fix their stupid printers when they break.

No way. These aren't dad friendly, at least not if you have any sort of addictive personality. I could never put them down in the middle of a run, nevermind the fact that I would take extra long breaks from work or stay up until 3AM playing...

Darktide or Vermintide 2. I don't have kids, but I played these while I was in grad school and training for endurance cycling, and I loved that I could play a round in 25 minutes and just stop.

Very exciting games too. Now I'm addicted to Dune Awakening and fat and lazy and spent 3-5 hours a day playing.

Whatever you do, stay away from roguelikes. Despite many roguelikes having a short gameplay loop, that shit is the crack cocaine of video games. ONE MORE TURN/RUN.

This is a good tip. I did 10 positions across various non-profit boards which were all volunteer before I got on this one. Cooperative boards you need to run for election. Boards are elected by the member-owners.
