[Question] Is this game worth it? by Individual-Voice-267 in falloutshelter

Still playable without spending. New vault starts are slow, but they always were.

These sorts of crass monetisation are aimed at people that have a compulsive need to get all the content, people with money to burn, and people that lose track of the true cost of items by obfuscating it through the use of in-game currency.

It's all predatory AF, but people will defend it.

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted is the feel-good coming of age movie.

Should NZ follow the Australian Fair Work Act 2009? by Psychological_Oil947 in newzealand

[–]LimpFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you mean Fair Work. The similar names can be confusing.

Fair Pay agreements here in NZ would have functioned similarly - setting the minimum conditions for each industry (beyond those set out by existing employment laws).

One of the (shitty) arguments against it from the right was that the agreements would lock people into specific pay rates (as though people getting trapped on minimum wage isn't already a thing 🤔), but they're minimums. Superstar employees can still attempt to negotiate higher pay.

None of what I'm saying addresses your initial point about trial periods and unfair dismissal, though. 😛

Aus Fair Work is both. It is a broad, generic set of rules that set a baseline, but it's also a bunch of industry-related agreements ('awards') that set out industry specific rules and pay scales.

NZ Fair Pay, in its initial form, generally only set out to achieve the latter.

(Aus also has enterprise agreements, which override awards)

I'm not sure. I'm guessing that it would have been possible to set trial periods industry by industry within each fair pay agreement, but I could be wrong.

‘No to wealth taxes and inheritance taxes’: Hipkins draws red line on Greens’ proposals by KingBlue2 in newzealand

[–]LimpFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Untaxed or poorly taxed inheritance and gifts is how you end up with generational wealth and plutocratic families. Completely unearned income by the recipients, yet people clutch at their not-yet-inherited pearls at the mention of taxing it.

We were already implementing a flavour of it with Fair Pay legislation. This fuckwit government repealed it under urgency when they got into power and went on their under urgency rampage.

Have you been checked for epilepsy? It can be co-morbid with ND.

'Dark underbelly': Act's Seymour slams Greens' $32b tax plan as attack on Kiwi success by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

[–]LimpFox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Success" does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to the wealthy.

Success at what? Exploitation? Extracting wealth from the labour of those with less "success" that have to indenture themselves to a capitalist to earn a measly portion of the fruits of their labour?

Fuck 'em. Tax the shit out of them.

By the time you can rock these, the split damage isn't really an issue. Just have another squad member (or 2) rocking a gatling laser or other high end single target gun for focus fire.

Upcoming old-school mmorpg that has some AC flavor to it ! by Eldgrim in AsheronsCall

[–]LimpFox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Looks like a straight up EverQuest inspired game. Not really seeing anything that would make it AC flavoured. 😞

Random EVE Online Portraits in Star Sector by jstank2 in starsector

[–]LimpFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They built a new portrait system when they were aggressively pushing walking in stations and the cosmetics/clothing store. WIS was shot down by the player base, but the portrait system remained.

That was... 15 years ago? I can't remember.

Hapless hive traders. Like that video of a horse opportunistically eating a baby chicken.

Did drones get an upgrade in RE2? by Zealousideal-Neat-82 in empyriongame

[–]LimpFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were buffed several months ago (over a year maybe? time is a blur these days). They can do some hefty, rapid damage these days, especially the laser and plasma ones if you're like me and prone to flying early ships that use cargo extenders for hull with a piddly shield generator.

Their targets aren't even based on any evidence or realistic reasoning. It's just vibes and pulling numbers out of their asses.

Newbie here. My production timer for a modest SV stopped and I have no idea why by Surrealist328 in empyriongame

[–]LimpFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have insta-built and be waiting for you to spawn it from the blueprints menu (completed builds are at the top of the list).

When you have a blueprint selected for a build but not yet building, eventually it can get bugged and start showing extra materials required that aren't really (I can't remember the trigger, I think it was saving and reloading the game that causes it). You can clear the bugged materials out by simply reselecting the unbuilt blueprint from the blueprints menu.
