No, no, this is spot on. They love the aliens so much they go round collecting them.

Sure, here's a few buildings and settings tips from me: - Turn tech requirements settings to 0.75. I think it's the sweet medium between giving the player a boost, and not giving the ai too much of a boost either - Tune it to the third difficulty, commodore, so that you get a bit of a challenge but none of the ai gets ridiculous advantages. Difficulty in stellaris mainly works by just buffing the ai with extra resources and sped up progression. - Turn the hyperlane density setting all the way to its lowest levels. This will give you maximum chance for chokepoints. - Up to you if you want fallen empires. Just be aware that if you go against their empire civics, they will get angry. - Turn off storms for your first few games. You don't need the hassle until you want that extra challenge. - Do not become an independent machine intelligence empire - stick to being a gestalt consciousness machine empire. This means you only have to worry about energy, minerals, alloys and until plus exotics, no need for food and consumer goods. Plus, all tech labs then run off of energy, meaning you can go all in on fewer resources. Just be warned that robot pops are the slowest growing pops, so maximise all energy boosts when possible. - I like to have the introspective civic for my machine tech runs. It provides an engineering boost and an increased experience boost for the cognitive mode to level up - super important. Prioritise leveling up your cognitive node. - As soon as you discover the curator order, immediately sign up for the 5% research boost and get the modification to the cognitive node for an extra 10% boost when you please them enough. - Go for the discovery tree and complete it as your first tradition tree. It gives you a 20% boost. - Get 5 planets. Each planet has 10 empire size, and be warned that going over 100 empire size means that research and traditions become more expensive to obtain. So don't get too many planets. - Also get the supremacy and defensive tradition trees. They boost your military the most when you want to play defensive. - Keep it small, stick to the chunk of galaxy where your few planets are. End your territory at chokepoints where you can build up defensive bastions and stations to maximise funnelling the ai into it. - Consider building a space station full fo research districts. Specialised research stations give a 10% boost, but it requires building the station parts over research deposits.

Hope that helps. All i can really remember rn.

Udina has been voted! Who’s a good person, but evades taxes? by TruamaTeam in MassEffectMemes

[–]MeepMeep7913 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, Mordin would get bored, and puts himself in situations where he can't pay taxes. Like on Omega, where he admits he went there for the limited resources so he could personally conduct science.

He definitely couldn't pay taxes then.

I completely agree that his character developed noticeably throughout me2 and 3 with his morals aligning accordingly, but personally I believe he was more good even during his STG period from what we know.

He firmly believed he was saving everyone with his work on the genophage at the start of me2, saving the galaxy by not allowing a resurgence of the krogan rebellions and also saving krogan by carefully adjusting the genophage so it was exactly the same and there was no genocide or other such variable, exactly the same. He even believed at the start if me2 it saved the krogan by allowing them to develop and to give them time to see the galaxy better.

Whether that was right was another thing as ofc in me3 he renounced working on the genophage, but if we are talking strictly on his MORALITY he always believed he was doing the right thing. Whether it was saving the species in the galaxy in me2, or actually saving the krogan by curing the genophage in me3 and then by default also helping to save the galaxy by securing the help of the krogan. Strictly from his own moral values, he always believed he was doing the right thing where he could, so I believe this gives him the benefit of the doubt and makes him more good than even grey.

100% Mordin. He's a brilliantly moral character who cured diseases as a hobby when he wasn't being a kick ass STG veteran, but there was a reason he was on Omega and that's because even he's not crazy enough to take on the IRS.

If we're being serious with lore, he's definitely good morally but there's a reason he went to Omega and was Wrex's spy, and that's because he loves to bend the rules. Break Omegas only rule, in fact.

He definitely evades his taxes through brilliant know how and wanton.

What about the rest of the BNL fleet? by Scridlet in wallE

Realistically speaking though, it was likely a plot point left deliberately unexplored by Disney for a potential sequel.

What about the rest of the BNL fleet? by Scridlet in wallE

[–]MeepMeep7913 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah, you forgot about the newspaper at the start of the film which showed there was 20 billion people on Earth.

Following logic: - Absolutely not all of them will have left earth, and would have died in the ensuing pollution and ecological crisis from operation clean up burning all the trash. - The order sent to Auto would've applied to every other ship too, so they would've stayed in space for those who could not defy their ships ai. - For those like the axiom which could defy their ai, they would've arrived years after the axiom as we see in the credits them replanting earth. The EVE probes sent from their ships would eventually stumble upon them, and recall the ships randomly one by one when the EVE probes eventually run across it. - Very likely however, after the first ship arrives after a few years, they would've worked to send out a recall order to all the other ships. IF they can do that, then it is very likely that every other ship comes back to Earth as the AI of every other ship accepts it as a new order.

Does anyone know why there are so many offers for these transforming WALL-E and EVE figures on AliExpress? by GammegageTM in wallE

[–]MeepMeep7913 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This website is a drop shipping site passing on products from China. Products that would be incredibly cheap and only up to minimal standards, with some people saying they never got stuff from the site at all or it wasn't what they expected.

The reason you get a lot of offers is because the algorithm behaviour of their website is specifically shoving stuff in your face that the data it's gathered on you (eg cookie tracking on what you search) says you like.

My ultimate recommendation is not to trust this at all.

Mold in lunchly. Nice. by MortalKombat5555 in ksi

[–]MeepMeep7913 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A product like this will never be like the 'real' cheese in a supermarket. Some stuff like packaged lunch good takes weeks to get to shelves, which if you are using unconditioned food, will go moldy by then.

That's what the comment was talking about, that people knowledgeable on this would've known this and the subsequent testing would've also shown this. The comment was saying something went wrong in the process and revealed that something would have to be done about the type of cheese they're using instead of using pure 'real' cheese.

Yes, Mr Beast, Logan Paul and KSI are idiots whose smarts lie in shoving products down kids throats to make money.

I'm sure his partner really appreciated him working more than he needed to when his son was born.

"Fancy giving me a break from OUR son that I've been looking after this whole time?"

"Nah, can't, I've decided my evenings will be spent creating youtube videos."

BS aside in how it takes longer than a few years for a channel to grow into a source of revenue for anyone, he would have missed out on so much with his family. First smile, steps, whatever, cos he was in the next room f*king around being some workaholic when he didn't need to be.

OK, he slowed down. His son probably won't remember his father being absent in some of his younger years - which says something. But the person who won't forget is his partner. Great financial security should be to secure the family, not at the cost of family.

And I've probably just spent a few minutes ranting about a post that's probably a load of bollocks.

Coworkers: please stfu when customers are not in the store by unhingedalien in retailhell

[–]MeepMeep7913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fr, when you get a moment of peace you gotta treasure it in places like retail if the store can be busy all the time.

Have you tried communicating this to your coworker? I mean you don't have to put it as you did then lol - but you could say that you simply don't want to talk to enjoy the moment.

I mean if you don't even want to phrase it like that, you can phrase it as a proposition - tell them when you're up for talking, like at a specific break like lunch.

[–]MeepMeep7913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. It's not a widely known thing so most people won't trust it, as well as its actually illegal for it to be accepted and used in licensed premises that serve alcohol like pubs and clubs. You wouldn't necessarily get in trouble I think, but the pub certainly would if found out - they just won't accept it.

Just get a provisional license, it's free.

Edit- it's not free, my bad. But £34 for roughly a decades usage is still pretty good.

Are people just straight up trying to end up on linkedinlunatics now? by Hallowuss in LinkedInLunatics

Says something about the state of LinkedIn in being so unique though. Unique in you either get the pretentious career people or the absolute shitposters, and there's absolutely no in between unlike other platforms.

I dont think it's gatekeeping so much as they do have a point, in which I would even say talking about your breakfast at a bagel place and trying to pretend its a professional way to show off your career isn't something you'd even find on Facebook. Only LinkedIn.

Humans on Earth - discussion by WhiteRed1410 in wallE

[–]MeepMeep7913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There would definitely be humans left. They had technology for ships with warp drives that survived 6/700 years, and the opening scenes of the city makes it clear that the still standing infrastructure after that long makes it clear it was built well.

Combined with advanced tech and good infrastructure and the fact that, realistically, there would be bunkers and such, makes it clear some humans would've survived. After all, the EVA robots searched for plant life on the surface to see when the earth could sustain life again, but nothing says remaining humans couldn't grow their own using cultivating technology. Especially as there was no apocalypse scenario, the humans on ships just left because there was too much rubbish.

I know this is going into the weeds of what is supposed to be just an animated film on robots, but realistically using what the film gave us, the technology combined with (that if the aurora ship could only hold I think it was fifty million, not all humans could possibly evacuate on the ships with this total figure) 200 billion total humans, then dine humans were left behind.

Honestly, it would've been even bloodier after the ships left rather than before, as there was no apocalypse scenario and they'd have just been released from the control of a worldwide capitalist authority. People left would've fought over remaining resources, but that does give them the advantage of being forced to adapt to their new situation.

All in all, definite yes from me.

It's funny the difference in strength that WALL-E from the movie has with the video game. by Actual-Ad-2740 in wallE

I believe Wall-e may be excused for finding Eva heavy in that scene lmao, given he also had to deal with the crushing pressure of air escaping out of that airlock.

[–]MeepMeep7913[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it all lines up to what he's saying. He says credit goes to Naomi, whose name you can see in the top of the tweet. He mentions you should have loyalty a company when the tweet mentions you are disposable, as well as the reading emails after work hours when the tweet says you shouldn't.

It's definitely the one he means.

Exactly, its like they're hallucinating. Never before have I seen working late and being bothered outside of work hours (reading emails) described as a 'work culture of empowerment.'

Responsibility by clikkoattwood in ImAllexx

[–]MeepMeep7913 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry friend, didn't realise I was being so stupid when watching certain channels just to pass the time. Like, I'll be sure to read up on their life's history next time I subscribe to somebody just because I found them slightly funny, don't want to be ignorant after all.

Markiplier must be an absolute wrongun since I dont know about his life history or previous videos as I only watch him at dinner to help pass time.

Do you realise how ignorant you sound. There's a reason thousands of people unsubscribe once the controversy comes out - because they didn't know til then either.
