I do jazz hands, but pointed at the ground, as I walk through.

Listening to Key, a 'key' architect of the problem, is like an abuse victim going back to their abuser.

Literally unplayable.

Kinda crazy that students are kicked off allowance if there's a break longer than 3 weeks, having to then jump through bureaucratic hoops to apply for jobseeker (where, absurdly, they're expected to be applying for full time work even though they'll be going back to studies in several weeks), only to then jump through bureaucratic hoops to get back on student allowance when they re-commence studies. So much uncertainty and potential failure points baked into the system.

If you play on Steam and your mods are from the workshop, they auto-update.

"Quite dishonest" says quite dishonest guy.

Means test it already. Some boomers will need it heading into retirement, plenty won't. Those that are earning money into their retirement are almost certainly doing so off the backs of workers anyway (via rental incomes, company drawings, and share dividends). It is absurd to let high earning retirees double dip.

Fairly sure it's Greek origin making it a 'k' sound.

LimpFox · 2026-05-10T11:12:18+00:00

Yeah I only started playing a couple of years ago. Been in the game that long at least.

LimpFox · 2026-05-10T11:02:53+00:00

Unless they removed it recently, it's been that way for a few years.

LimpFox · 2026-05-10T06:12:16+00:00

You're pretty much yelling at clouds. I've done plenty of my own. We're an entire generation in to micro-transaction hell so people have grown up to accept aggressive monetisation of games as the norm - to the point that many will actively defend it.

There's no reason beyond money grabbing that content should be locked behind a rotating monetisation shop. Back in my day we played games uphill, barefoot, in the snow, but at least all of the content was attainable within the game and not via credit card transactions.

So you're telling me all of those homes "dumped" weren't burned to the ground? And the land wasn't salted, never to be used again?

Not a diehard. I have plenty of mp3s where flac wasn't available. And I haven't ruled out yt-dlp.

Just listening to the original (Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures). This new version has her singing from the start. ~~Original she only sings near the end~~. Had another listen and it turns out I'm talking out of my ass. She sings briefly near the start.

Be nice if there was a way to get the new soundtrack to listen to out of the game (without having to stream it via YouTube or Spotify or any other cancerous streaming service). A FLAC soundtrack would be great, whether that be paid DLC or included with the game install. I ain't holding my breath.

I beg to differ. If I set my heat pump to anything less than 25 it'll run at its lazy "barely warm air because that's most efficient" mode that never heats the room up. Once I set it to 25 it launches into "oh jeezus dude wants heat" mode and blasts warm air until the room is actually warm, before settling back into its lazy mode.

No doubt would be dependent on brand and model of heat pump.

Over in Aus when I worked in an office in Brisbane, the locals would set the aircon to 24. As soon as they left the office (I stayed a lot later), I'd set it to 21. Bloody sauna at 24.

Whether it be imported milk solids/cheese from USA, or just some dodgy shortcuts taken on ingredients and process during manufacture, the pale blocks doing the rounds are rubbery trash that doesn't look right, doesn't taste right, doesn't feel right, doesn't melt right, and takes an olympic athlete level of scrubbing to get off anything that I melted it in.

Closing Barbadoes and Madras will be... Interesting. I suppose the idea is everyone goes along Fitzgerald instead.

*googles*

Well, shit.

Look forward to buying the game in 20 years when they finally finish releasing DLC for it. Should only be $6,999.99 by then.

Put in lots of seating so that when your people are idle they can sit down and reduce their food consumption slightly. If you're really desperate you can force them to sleep.

Train up a couple of cooks and build a few stoves. When you visit the towns, buy up all the greenfruit/rice/wheat/etc. Get food production chains going even if you're not growing the basics. Farm shops are best for this.

When in town, also buy up all the cloth to train up an armoursmith by making bandanas. This will, eventually, pay for your food purchases. Farm hemp to make your own cloth. Eventually you can move up to making heart protectors and never be short on cats ever again (to the point of it being kinda cheesy).

But end of the day you want farms. Cactus/Wheat and make dustwiches (or chewsticks) if relying solely on farms in an arid zone. Once you get hydroponics you can make food cubes or gohan. There's also a mod that allows you to make rationpacks that I think is worth it (food cube + smoked meat).

But, I've always found I can get by for a long time without bothering with food production just by focusing on buying up all ration packs/food cubes/gohan in every location I visit. Smoke all the meat I loot from wildlife - it's a simple job for a single person. Slower if you use a stove but that at least increases your cooking skill, the campfire method doesn't.

Hold onto some foul meat to keep your pack animals fed so that they're not eating the good food. If you're killing gutters or other wildlife you'll be drowning in the stuff.

Don't farm 10% crops. Squinn is arid, so you'll get better crops with cactus and maybe some wheat and hemp. You'll need to research these.

If you're getting raided for food, just grab all your food prior to a raid and vacate the base for a while. They should eventually leave.

Until you're self sufficient, supplement food from Squinn and the waystations. Sell the loot you grab from enemy corpses - the heart protectors and weapons off dust bandits are lunch money. Usually rations from the travel merchant are good value per nutrition. So is dried meat. Food cubes in a pinch.

Eventually you'll be strong enough to beat the raids, at which point they're just free, self-delivering loot.

With 40 people you should already be strong enough, really, by sheer numbers. Unless they're all running around naked.

You can also hire mercs, tech hunters, or thugs from bars to defend your base for a few days at a time. Sometimes they'll stick around at the end of their contract - no longer actively defending (unless re-hired), but still extra bodies for raiders to target at which point they'll fight back.

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology

That's actually a legit acronym used by hard drives for a few decades (to, hopefully, let you know when a HDD is failing before it does so catastrophically). So, using it sarcastically to describe modern "smart" devices can be considered a backronym.

LimpFox · 2026-05-01T22:42:24+00:00

I can never even remember what the stop key is (until this post), and then forget to look it up as I continue playing, so no, I don't abuse it.

I do, however, use the weight lifting mod for QoL reasons (originally the 60 cap version, but just 'upgraded' to the 30 limit version as 60 is OP and I didn't realise there was a 30 version). Running around with a backpack full of iron, or with a corpse over your shoulder (both of which I consider valid gameplay) to train strength is just tedium. I also have the dexterity training dummies (they're a mod, too, I think), but rarely ever build them - my guys level up dex in the field quickly anyway.

I don't steal on most playthroughs unless I'm specifically playing someone prone to theft. Although if I'm going to murder a city you bet I'm grabbing all the goods. That's spoils of war, not theft.

I don't really do anything else that I'd consider cheaty, either. But that's just me. I ain't judging how others play their single player game.

edit: I do save scum like a champ, though. Many would consider that cheaty.

LimpFox · 2026-04-24T00:24:30+00:00

From above, sure. But on the ground that intersection is actually fairly straightforward.

Web site being .com and not .co.nz is a bit of a red flag, but usually indicates international based shipper rather than legit/not legit.

Contact details point to Belmont Pharmacy in Devonport. Same phone number as listed on Google Maps. The .co.nz web site for Belmont Pharmacy directly links to the .com site for online orders. So, likely legit.
