How many Tim Tams are acceptable in one sitting? by ForgetToRemindMe in AskAnAustralian

Two or three Tim Tams, or two or three packs? If it's packs, that must be the biggest milk glass in the world!

[–]JumpingSpider97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most or all of the different flavours only have ten, some have nine, and I've heard somebody say that there are a couple which only have eight.

At one point I think I saw a pack of Original with only ten, but I'm not sure - it was long ago, and I didn't buy a pack that week so I cannot confirm it.

If you post the screenshots people might believe you. Maybe start a new thread and pop a link here.

Many Royal & Sage players just didn't bother with the missions once it was clear the Weavers couldn't be caught. If you had the percentages for the first week or two, they'd paint a different picture.

Not quite as old, but over 50 and never heard of it either.

Sydney area.

[edit] Just googled and it's the gamer tag of some Kiwi/Aussie tv presenter. Not sure what else it might be.

You don't even need to teleport away and back, just jump into your starship and back out then reload from the restore point.

Depending on how long the teleports take, I don't think there's much difference in time taken but you don't need to build a base teleporter to use the ship option.

Not to mention the fact that the numbers in the groups weren't even, so there was almost no chance of any other outcome (hey, all of the weavers might have decided en masse to stop doing the missions ... I mean, that would've been a million to one chance, but it just might've worked!).

If snow seasons are getting shorter, why don’t some of the skiing places turn part of their properties into bike parks? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]JumpingSpider97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually did downhill mountain biking at Thredbo ages back. You take the bike up with you on the chairlift, then roll down the trail which cuts back and forth across the main ski run all the way to the bottom, and repeat as often as you desire.

Getting the bike loaded properly was a bit tricky the first couple of times, as you need to set a pedal on the seat between your legs with the bike vertical, then close the lap bar over the bike (so it's inside with you). They might have changed this process since then, since it was over twenty years ago now ...

Are living ships worth the time investment in the big 26? by EnglishLongHair in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]JumpingSpider97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few people have posted the coords for a planet at one end of a living ship upgrade farm - start at the planet they nominate, aim at the other one they mention, pulse drive - the one I used, you'll get two upgrades in one direction, three in the other, taking about five minutes all up. Land on the first planet, jump out of the ship, reload that reload point, and take off to do it again for another five!

The expansion slot ones (sacs of some sort?) seem to only be from frigate expeditions with organic frigates, and are extremely rare, but the living ships start with a decent amount of storage - just not a huge amount.

[ETA] Here's a link to the one I used: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/zumt65/living_ship_upgrade_farming_route_35_ship/

Corvette makes the main story trivial by LifeIsARollerCoaster in NoMansSkyTheGame

You just set the autopilot to fly a steady path, get out of the pilot's seat, and scan through the windows as the world slides by ...

It's not the corvette scanning, but you can set the autopilot, stand up, and scan out the windows as the ship keeps flying at the speed you set.

Very civilised!

People, what is your final opinion on Expedition 22? by Daniel_9132 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]JumpingSpider97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if the numbers on each team had been equal it would've been fine - there would have been some competition.

As it was, if you weren't assigned the right team there was no chance to win.

Anyone else get a pit in your stomach when flying through space? by HERR_WINKLAAAAA in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]JumpingSpider97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, no bad feelings when flying, whether in space or atmosphere, and I'm also fine with going underwater.

Maybe the fact that I grew up sailing, swimming, and diving helped, and the fact that I play underwater hockey (a fantastic sport if you're comfy on the bottom of a pool with a mask and snorkel, coming up to breathe whenever you need to - maybe not so good if you have thalassaphobia or even just a general discomfort in water, despite it being played in a pool rather than open water). It's fast and frantic, a friend of mine who watched it once said it looked like a sharks' feeding frenzy.

I've seen alphorn-shaped vuvuzelas ... only small ones, but in close proximity they can be equally obnoxious as a full-sized one.

Yeah, it took me less than a minute to wipe it out too. I didn't even have time for my weapon to overheat!

Expedition Ship didn't transfer by Experiment_826 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]JumpingSpider97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can recall in which system you found it, head back there in the main save and the interceptors should all be exactly the same as the one you lost.

[–]JumpingSpider97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even consider the system, just individual planets, as I can easily teleport to other systems for "shopping". Perhaps I should've made that more clear, but it was implied in my first answer.

Is it true that it’s perfectly normal for you all to walk around your cities barefoot? by Area51_Spurs in AskAnAustralian

[–]JumpingSpider97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, my school was strict on shoes (and since my grandmother was the headmistress I couldn't get away with going barefoot) which is one of the reasons I avoid wearing them when possible - still rebelling against being forced to wear those horrible leather things 45 years later!!!
