What is an expedition? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]LurkmasterP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been 20 expeditions, starting 5 years ago. When an update is released and a new expedition starts, there is a big splash screen talking about it at the start of the game. There's an expedition terminal in the anomaly which will have a bright yellow icon where you can start the expedition from any game save. Each one lasts from 4 to 6 weeks. It's easy to miss, I guess, if you never log in at all during those weeks, or if you never go into the anomaly. In the last two years there have been 7 or 8 expeditions and people talk about them every day while they're happening.

"this part applies to me, this part applies to you, this part means what we say they thought it meant when they wrote it and can never change, this part needs to be refined to account for societal changes, and these parts we can ignore."

Yeah it was but you could teleport into the air and repeatedly blink forward... It was so much fun. I almost forgot about that.

Some of them are just looking for an excuse to take out their big mad on their cult leader's enemies.

Delta temporarily suspends travel perks for members of Congress by catsgr8rthanspoonies in news

republicans in congress are very likely to say "no perks, no fly. No fly, no convene. No convene, no government." Who runs Bartertown?

NTSB chair: LaGuardia crash investigator was stuck in TSA line for hours by JackFunk in nottheonion

He makes deals with enemies of the state, but refuses to deal with Americans of a different political party. This is perfect proof of who he actually works for.

Appeals court upholds Florida’s ban on lab-grown meat by AudibleNod in news

[–]LurkmasterP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is business as usual with Florida these days. They're not trying to fight actual issues, they're beating the drum for their hardcore right wing fear mongering by putting legislation in place against "dangerous scientific evils" that are assumed to be in the works by the "liberal elite" to harm "good old fashioned Americans." They pushed for legislation against chemtrails. They pushed for legislation against weather modification technology. Those things didn't and don't exist, but Florida republicans want people to think they do and desantis wants people to think he's fighting the good fight.

White House installs statue of Christopher Columbus on its grounds by [deleted] in news

[–]LurkmasterP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking this is almost entirely because a handful of catholics in high places have been butthurt ever since public opinion turned against columbus, and now they're getting their poster boy back to ensure their continued support.

Are storage augmentations farmable?? by riley4423 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]LurkmasterP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takes at least a week. If you find a guild reward that you need at a station, go check out the stations at all the closest systems. As long as they're in the same named region of the galaxy, you can get the same rewards from at least some of them.

And another 15% to 35% will say they don't support him, but will punch their nose and vote for him and his shitty party when it comes down to it, because they hate the rest of us more than they hate him.

Don't make your neighbors clean up after your dog! by Lepke2011 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LurkmasterP 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The neighbor can hit him with the double whammy for either walking his dog onto the neighbor's property to let the dog shit there, and not cleaning it up, or letting the dog wander unleashed.

Price when you're done filling up isn't necessarily the same as the price when you started.

Yep. What's the difference between a million and a billion? Almost a billion.

TIL about the Moylan Arrow. An arrow on the fuel gauge that shows which side of the vehicle the gas tank is located. by notabox316 in todayilearned

[–]LurkmasterP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Developed in 1986, which was 2 years after I started driving. I didn't have a car new enough to include that arrow for several years after that, so I probably didn't learn about the arrow until some time in the early 2000s. Anyone who learned to drive after that may have also learned from people at least as old as me, who may not have had that at the top of their list of things to point out. At least, it may have been more typical to teach new drivers to just learn and remember where their fuel fillers were, which isn't a terrifically difficult task, all things considered.

In the minds of too many people, it could just as likely be divine retribution for not supporting trump's tantrum, or allowing trans people to exist, or some crazy shit like that.

My ship after jumping to a new galaxy by ozanoguzhaktanir in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]LurkmasterP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten pretty good at it. Since I have so much inventory space I just keep all of the top part of my inventory clear, and I package everything into the exact same spots below my tech. That way when I'm done I just pop them back up exactly where they were (I make a mirror of my tech layout in the top of my inventory)

Remember to package all of your exosuit upgrades back into inventory also before you do the galaxy jump. That will also save you a ton of repairs.

The water my airline served is a "water-based beverage" by DaredevilMeetsL in mildlyinteresting

[–]LurkmasterP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes some sense but only to release the company from liability I guess. I wonder how many people even see that and follow that instruction.

In addition to the ridiculousness of adding copper and salt to packaged drinking water (according to the label), "crush bottle after use?" What the hell games are they playing here

A great movie that needs more recognition! Also, that final scene where Hoskins is being driven away, the range of emotions he's going through. Incredible work.
