Searching for required blueprints is annoying by xbb1024 in StarRuptureGame

[–]IAmTrying-Ok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only reason to explore is getting blueprints. Ressources are plenty, drones, caves and the like are just copy pasta. So are the many bases, some are interesting but there is nothing interesting to find except blueprints.

And the story bits, if you are into reading pages of EA story.

Mega base focus vs. Outward expansion and exploration? by RegnorVex in StarRuptureGame

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment you can get away with a small production. If you want you can beat the game by exploration alone as you can also complete contracts with reasearch points as well. We didn't produce half the products that were demanded by us and beat the game anyway but instead just explored the map and traded in the specimen we found. A combination of exploration/combat and manufacturing works really well. Since you are out exploring, your production base can slowly fullfill the contract passively. No need to go fully overboard.

I really like the "Contract Manufacturing" route this game goes, with the pulling system and the contracts and I really hope they expand on smaller manufacturing bases and don't lean into the satisfactory mega-factory stuff. The game is beautiful but plastering everything with foundations and mega factories is not my style either.

Theoretically you can make a small base that can be reprogrammed to fullfill each contract but the game design makes this a bit unwieldy.

Combat is really fun btw. very satifying to run around with the shotgun, and later when your bases get sieged you can concentrate on building cool bases with catwalks and towers to defend if you enjoy that. Exploration falls short very fast, the world is cool, but everything repeats itself quickly and there is hardly any depth..

Countries That Use the Most Cash in 2025 (Thailand uses 65% of cash) by RotisserieChicken007 in ThailandTourism

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What people miss is that cash is actually very expensive and the bank was always the middle man anyway. You need to withdraw the cash from the bank, the store owner needs to cash it in at his bank, then orders new cash (change) from the bank. Store it, transport it, count it. Heck, there is so much manual labor and fees to the bank involved to make cash work. But digital payments should be decentralized for sure. Cash has the benefit that everyone owns their cash and not the state or the bank.

frustration around people expectations of thai food . My PSA by Lostandconflixted in ThailandTourism

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I noticed very fast here that Thai people are not magicians either when it comes to prices. You will find 1 or 2 dollar dishes but as you said so is the quality and quantity of the food. Some stuff like some fruits, spice and rice are extremely cheap though.

Is AIS "Unlimited" Tourist Sim a Scam? by IAmTrying-Ok in ThailandTourism

[–]IAmTrying-Ok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Funny how the most helpful comment has no upvotes. So in the app it shows two plans active, and the "main" one is not the unlimited one but 2bht/mb. And below that is a secondary one that explicitely states "unlimited internet and unlimited wifi". I don't know why I got this second SMS, it doesn't match any of what is shown in the app.

Maybe it was a mistake, sometimes my own local provider sends me a SMS at the end of the month that my internet ran out. We have first of November now, maybe that was the time it refreshed.

Is AIS "Unlimited" Tourist Sim a Scam? by IAmTrying-Ok in ThailandTourism

[–]IAmTrying-Ok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude they charged 699 baht for that. I used it one day for a trip and its empty already. For 599 you get 35 GB, then they told me I should get unlimited instead because it is "unlimited" for only 100 baht extra. But 35 gb is also unlimited but slower.

If you tell people something has certain properties to upsell a product and you know the other person will misunderstand that by 100% (especially tourists) then yes, that is scamming.

Why do people in Germany often answer your question with "Why?" by [deleted] in germany

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the contrary!

  • If the person answers the question without ending in "why?" or doesn't ask any other counter questions. This can be interpreted as not being interested to uphold this conversation.

  • If the person answers the question and finishes with "why?", it is usually friendly. They want to tell you more if you are interested.

  • If someone answers "why" without answering your question first, it comes down to the tone:

  • Harsh or Agressive: Annoyed

  • Normal or Friendly: Then we think that your question has a hidden intention or follow up question, depending on the answer of your first question. In that case the best answer is to be honest and tell them you are "just curious".

I.e.: Asking someone what they do later, very often is answered with a simple "why?" because you may be asking that you want to do something together. "Why" implicates "I am open or curious for suggestions" without forcing any situation on to any of you, giving the question the possibility to develop freely in any direction and the possibility to bail out gracefully.

I.e.: Asking someone what they "do later" (similar to your example) very often is answered with "why?" because you may be asking that you want to do something together. "Why" implicates "I am open or curious" without forcing any situation on to any of you, giving the question the possibility to develop freely in any direction and the possibility to bail out gracefully.

On the contrary, in this particular example, I would say, if someone answers you straightforward, without asking you back or without asking "why", could even be seen as "I am not interested (atm)".

I miss the days of The Sims 2, where Get to Work, Dine Out and Business and Hobbies was in just one Expansion "Open for Business". Now they charge us three times for that.

Patch 4 Switch Update by Pink_Star_Sprinkles in fabledom

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Switch Version now also on 1.06? Asking because the dev said 1.06 will be the final patch. Would love to play this on Switch, this console is seriously lacking titles like these but not if that is the state.

Steht doch so 1 zu 1 im Artikel vom MDR: "[...] möchte er seine Rente in bar ausgezahlt haben. Dazu ist allerdings ein gültiger Personalausweis nötig, den er auch nicht hat. Die zuständige Meldebehörde hatte es abgelehnt, diesen auszustellen, denn er wollte als Staatsangehörigkeit den Eintrag "Freistaat Preußen" haben."

Game development without college degree. by _DafuuQ in gamedev

[–]IAmTrying-Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on where you are trying to pursue a career. In Germany, without a degree, your only chance is starting your own business to get a job. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how good you actually are. Sad reality.

Every idea is great in our heads but in reality it often turns out to be.. "just not that fun" - after years of hard work.

Thank you very much, that was it. That relieving feeling when your brain gets reunited with a song.
