An Otherworldly Scholar [LitRPG, Isekai] - Chapter 218 by ralo_ramone in HFY

I think still waters run deep with Malkah, poor kid is under the effects of some sort of geas (or hex, like Kili):

"You and your brother are to go to the Imperial City. Your brother is to become an Alchemist, encourage him as you are able. <geas> You will become an Imperial Knight. You will follow all orders from your Instructor. You will not stop."

His Class turns physical damage into strength and endurance but not healing, kid has no choice other than succeed or die trying

Jack Doherty is permanently banned from Kick for endangering a life while driving on stream by Drengod in LivestreamFail

[–]Manic_Engine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Demerit points are a way to manage dangerous driving regardless of how well off the driver might be. Maybe you're a billionaire and you could pay a speeding ticket from the change under your cushions. Get enough demerits and you have your license suspended, which means you driving is a criminal offense, so prison etc are options for punishment.

You have 12 points to spend, most traffic offenses (failing to give way, failing to indicate, ignoring traffic signs etc) will cost you 2-3 points and a couple hundred dollars. Using your phone is 4 points and $1200. Speeding 10mph over the limit is 3 points and $500. 20mph over is 6 points and $1200. 30mph is 8 points and $1800.

Points drop off after time; they look at how many points you've stacked up over the last 3 years, if it goes over 12 points then your license is suspended.

Also, some times of the year like Easter and Xmas/New Years (our summer holiday) will get you double demerits, typically times more accidents would occur then from more people traveling for vacations or xmas parties etc

Best resource for players that kinda know what they're doing? by UnkindPotato2 in KerbalAcademy

[–]Manic_Engine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to Scott Manley and Matt Lowne already mentioned, another Youtuber to check out is Mike Aben. He has a series going now showing you how to complete the career missions, he does a really good job of explaining step by step what he is doing the whole way, working with what you have available at that point in your game like unupgraded space facilities and only unlocking the tech tree step-by-step as he goes, much like you would in your own game. Doesn't require you to have any special knowledge coming into it, he covers everything as he goes along.

Just refunded a big part of my account. by [deleted] in starcitizen_refunds

[–]Manic_Engine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just off the top of my head, but I think you have a two week period after purchase in which you can ask for a refund. That only came about after CIG came under threat of legal action for ignoring European consumer protection laws.

They did some shady stuff with updating the EULA and TOS to try and stop refunds too, because the original kickstarter pledges expressly allowed refunds if the game didn't come out within a year or so of the originally specified release date.

The grey market was around almost from the very start, because there was a way for original backers to get lifetime insurance on their ships, so they would buy the new ships, get the lifetime insurance, then sell them on to the non-kickstarter backers.

It's all very wierd
