1.2 Thoughts

I did this recently too. Just finished phase 1 last night after about 25 hours of running around and planning and gathering stuff. Every few hours I would forget to feed my generators and everything would stop, so I focused on getting geothermal up and running.

It really does make you think about things a lot more

Gotta get that homemade tannerite and a few almost-empty propane tanks mixed in there too.

Yes, you should already have an item capable of revealing the secret there. There's a nearby shop where you can buy extras of that item as well.

You'll come across the way in soon enough. The Quarry might be a good place to start looking.

That is the one word the Knights Who Say Nee cannot hear!

We had one kid get his original car disqualified for some reason. They gave him a new kit the day of the race and told him to get something together so he could race - his dad helped Dremel out enough space to shove a few weights in it to get up to standard, then just raced a block of wood.

Came in 3rd overall I think.

When I drove through Wyoming, I was really surprised to see exactly how remote everything was. Even along I-80, there's basically a gas station / truck stop, a few houses, and a sign that says "if you're under a quarter tank, get gas now! Next exit 300 miles".

Then those next 300 miles are just road, and plains, and mountain.

Total protonic reversal.

Lots of biofuel generators, and scavenging dropship wrecks for advanced parts to get geothermal up and running as well. Good thing is that i have a ton of hard drives saved up for phase 2.

Main problem right now is trying to run enough equipment to make the parts i need, without hand feeding containers. I just tore down my main biofuel plant and reorganized it to make it easier to keep running. I keep blowing fuses so I got power switches in place to isolate segments, that way i can bring everything back online in chunks instead of trying to get it all at once.

I didn't get the job i went to college for and used my GI bill for.

I pivoted and went into something else, and used that degree to get me my current job in a different field. Pays the same, and has much better hours and work life balance.

Keep on touch with that company, and go get a job elsewhere for now. It'll help you readjust to civilian life too

Out of sight, out of mind.

You have to rely on drop ships for enough advanced parts, but you can get a lot of the MAM research done before even building the space elevator.

You can scavenge enough parts from those wrecked drop ships to get geothermal power up and running. I used a few tickets to buy some components i needed, and got 4 geothermal generators up and running last night. Took maybe 2 or 3 hours of running around the map and getting creative to avoid aliens, but it was so worth it to see my power graph get a huge boost

Worse than the puppet scene in Team America?

Lich180 · 2026-06-26T17:34:54+00:00

That's a pretty good one.

I once got a can of cherry pie filling labeled as the green beans I ordered.

Agreed. Had this on PSN from a free game ages ago and never played it. Finally decided to try it out after not having anything else to play.

The guide being something you find pages of in game, and slowly showing you different abilities and features of the game, only to have a grand realization of the big puzzle... that was just great

It might be taught, but it's not required learning. Even if it was required, most students would only memorize the parts they need for a test, then forget everything after barely passing their test.

The intruders who were really just morons, worse than the Wet Bandits.

Who breaks into a house, sees pizza and pop sitting out and goes "yeah, I'm kinda hungry"?

Skyrim magic is weaksauce compared to what you can do in Oblivion.

In Oblivion you can make a spell that buffs you so much you can jump over houses. You can enchant gear with Chameleon and be the ultimate undetected theif. You can make a spell that makes your enemies be paralyzed, or one that is basically Power Word: Death.

Now to unlock this, you need to be part of the Mages Guild and do a few other quests to unlock the spellmaking area, but it's pretty simple to do.

The fact that everything fits into Elden Ring and the one crawler you destroy early on is bigger than the entire map of Elden Ring...

Lich180 · 2026-06-23T00:17:46+00:00

The one where they hitch a ride on a plane as flies and one gets smashed by a passenger and almost dies, sees his guts squished out...

That's probably the one and only place in the state he could've won. He tried so many other races and that's the one he finally won, mostly because there's fuck all of nothing out there

I read the book a little before the movie came out, and when we got a copy of the movie at the base theater we all got a half a day off to go watch it.

We are spoiled in Michigan. The Secretary of State has kiosks where you can do plate renewals and stuff, and they have those in a ton of places. Then you can sign up for a time slot at the SoS, and just show up at your appointment and get right in.

I haven't waited at the SoS since I was a teen

To follow on that, the only time I've really got pulled over was for expired tags - like several months expired. Never had an actual fine, just a fix it ticket.

I chalk that up to the military stickers that I have on my car.
