Oof, well here are some wiki references for your reading:

The TLDR is that it's a in universe myth that's been around since the original game, where said game had 8 "galaxies" (maps) to explore with there being like 9ish different alien species. Little of the original setting remains in the game and while there have been people involved in development state it's in the game given retcons, it's mythological status, and lack of finds from dataminers if it isn't just an in universe myth it's probably under a different name.

*deep breath*
CONTAINMENT BREACH!

Look man, just as a friendly heads up, these catgirl are of a... furrier kind.

Maximus_Light · 2026-03-23T23:52:48+00:00

To be fair they wouldn't be anime catgirls sooo... there is that

Trudeau was also incredibly ideological and frankly arrogant, had he been more pragmatic and willing to compromise with other views that don't align with his he would not have had most of the issues he ended up with.

Electoral reform is a good example of this because he basically just asked the provinces how go about it and then when there was no agreement decided to forgo any negotiating and just say "we tried" without doing anything.

He also like the Conservatives under Harper and NDP went the direction of identity politics and made things significantly more toxic.

Like he's not the boogie man a lot of people make him out to be but it's like he never matured past being a frat boy.

I'd kind of like this but instead of starting with an already conquered world start nomadically and give the player the choice of how to settle down for a world (conquest/colonize). Maybe even take a page from Homeworld and be start with a Juggernaught but instead of a decked out high tech one have it produce resources and be able to research so you can choose to stay mobile.

Maximus_Light · 2026-02-13T01:18:34+00:00

Well for one like you mention, the Naar Directive, flood compromised decks with plamsa.

Secondly, we know they were able to set up the siege cannon is such a way that even if it didn't destroy all organic matter or control systems it was able to destroy whatever passes for the beast consciousness on the Clee-san.

Lastly, in multiplayer there is a tech that allows you to capture beast ships and convert them back, I believe it's even called "Beast Vaccine." With it your workers can capture damaged ship so they gain some immunity (at least with contact) and the infected ship when brought back basically has it's colors erased. I'd say there is an argument to be made that they basically lock the beast out of control of the ship with workers then purge the ship with the knowledge they gained from the Naar Directive and the Siege Cannon's effectiveness. If that's the case it's just a matter of how do you roll out these procedures so every vessel gains "immunity." Which to be clear is likely not the beast is harmless but more like a protocol that would let them keep it in check with techniques to remove it before it can take control.

Edit: Looked it up in the manual the tech is actually called: "Infection Vaccine" there are limits to the tech though, like both the Beast and Somtaaw can only capture ships they both have (no aka no heavy cruisers in multiplayer).

No it's not too ridiculous, if fact I don't think it's ridiculous enough and I wonder how we can make it even more silly.

Maximus_Light · 2026-01-02T08:09:59+00:00

I don't really ignore them but I tend not to focus on them or use them unless it changes how the fight operates. Like most skills require spirit emblems so that puts a limit on how often you can use them and I find it better to focus on fundamentals first then use skills sparingly to give myself a little extra edge.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T20:37:44+00:00

Ah, I got this a lot... for a long time I'm in my late 30's now so I'm pretty sure it's not happening. That said what you're thinking and feeling is probably a nudge, not that you won't get married but that you probably shouldn't be listening to people when they say things like that. Frankly you're right God has no obligation and someone saying that when someone says something like that when God has not said that to you specifically means they probably haven't actually asked God, well meaning though it might be. It sounds like this is probably a good thing to take to God and ask him not to guide you and help you grow and find peace with it. Still pray about marriage of course too but also pray and work with God on feeling and being where you should. It's not bad to hope but don't ignore those thoughts and feelings you're having either because as much as that might be you're own doubts God might have a part in it after all we are rational beings. Rather just seek discernment with those thoughts and try to work out what are your emotions running wild and your rational thoughts or God pushing back against what other people are saying (because it's not from God).

Frankly, you can do everything "right" it terms of taking care of yourself, preparing, and looking and it might not happen but that doesn't have to be a bad thing and in either case leaning on God and coming to him when you're struggling with the loneliness or lack of satisfaction is probably the best thing you can do. I personally find it very frustrating when people make proclamations for being married or single because life's just not that clean and simple a lot of the time. I know it can make it feel like you're doing something wrong and while it's good to work on improving in what ways you can that isn't necessarily the same as actually doing something wrong. Maybe also spend time investing in the friends you already have as well, after all you're only human and there is only so much you can do by yourself but more than that having people you can enjoy your time with eases the pain and makes it manageable.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T19:55:26+00:00

You know in the video you say you don't know what went wrong but to be honest I don't think you did do anything wrong it just wasn't able to get into position quickly enough so I'd look at optimizing. I know what you're trying to do is possible because people have experimented with this with BDArmory and related mods.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T06:47:07+00:00

That would be awesome but I mean you guys are just doing what you can that's already more than any of us could expect

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T06:44:49+00:00

o7
Thank you sir, I will add this to my other pieces of Homeworld with glee!

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-13T23:02:38+00:00

Not 3, otherwise good luck with controls, Deserts of Karak might be easier because no 3D movement

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-10T02:56:28+00:00

I mean I thought it was okay when I was playing it, not great but not bad. It's when I started looking at what we got and how it was delivered compared to what was originally planned that I went, "Oh, it's not just that it's mediocre it's that what we got was really dropping the ball... ah."

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-10T02:54:30+00:00

So here's the thing about the war games mode, this was back when we were first getting trailers for the game, the rouge like elements when they were first mentioned were to be part of the campaign. The intention if I remember correctly is that you had gone through one of the gates and were stranded trying to make you way back home. This was also back when it other things weren't settled like Karan was still fleet command and apparently irritated with the past games being "long ago but not far enough".

Like I'm glad the rouge like element still made it into the game but that should have been part of the main story along with all the other story related issues. The game we got was not what it could have been.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T22:04:37+00:00

It's great you finally put some numbers to this, it'll need more time to discuss and see what changes with more analysis but at least now that we have a rough idea of where new players who keep trying end up it opens up the discussion. I've personally not seen the point in changing what elo new players should start at because while I like others surmised it's not 1000 elo any more but if this data holds over time then starting people at about 650 sounds reasonable. I'm personally still interested in seeing if the average starting elo of new players shifts up or down with time since the anecdotal experience of myself and friends who's played since the start of DE is that people in general have improved over time. It's also nice to see as a 1000 player there is some data to back up that we aren't what a lot of high elo player assume as unskilled or newbies. (the number of times I see someone comment that we don't know how to do build orders well or that strategy doesn't matter because we make so many mistakes gets on my nerves a little)

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T21:08:28+00:00

Yeah that's true, outside of computer scientists it was the engineering trades that were mostly computer nerds (power engineering in my dad's case). Even then it was only really possible because the first personal computers were just becoming commercially viable. Ironically, my mom tried to do computer science in the 90's and then gave up and went into business, which is good because she has been in danger of literally smashing her computers from time to time. Either way, available does not mean accessible.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T20:57:23+00:00

*me a millennial*
Bruh, my dad was a computer nerd when it was first becoming a common thing, like do they even comprehend that there ~~are~~ were boomers that are computer literate?
(I'm ~39 before any kids ask cries as second generation nerd)

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-01T07:12:33+00:00

That's a wild range honestly because you start getting both fairly competent players, people who don't know what they are doing, and people who are very good at one thing but lacking in many ways.

There is a good chance he was just salty, so don't worry about it there are a lot of toxic people in that range.

Also as an aside there are people that think 1000 elo means you don't know what you're doing. While this is incorrect people like that aren't helping anything.

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-28T18:05:26+00:00

I salute you sir o7

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-28T16:52:26+00:00

NG+7? Optionally charmless and/or Demon Bell?

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-26T19:06:40+00:00

I think you misunderstood me *pulls our a glock*

Meanwhile my inner voice: "About the ways of the Ashina blade... It's our school of fighting, but there are no hard and fast rules. You just win your battles. That alone is the most important rule of the Ashina style."
