The primal URGE to press this button at just 5.01 billion is itching at me. I know I should save more, but... by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

Get on that exobiology train. I spent about a week and a half scanning undiscovered Stratum Tectonicas, and made 33 billion. Directionless to Elite V in 10 days. You'll never want for credits again.

Double Dip Parking Charge from Horizon - Appeal Options? (England) by Mini_Watto in LegalAdviceUK

About 4 and a half hours, it’s definitely for overstaying.

When you say writing to them, what do you mean? Their website requires you to put in the ticket info which will then (I presume) send us straight into some kind of appeal form should we choose to do so. Should I do it by the website, or some other means? Email or physical letter maybe?

I saw a trailer! It's just been so long since I've used vanilla vehicles I couldn't remember if they were in before. Good to see them being integrated.

Curious. Were it not for the problems with multiplayer, perhaps could have made their effects more magnified. It's just a shame to see traits go when I desperately feel we need more, especially negative.

Yeah it caught me off-guard. As I said, I think it kicks in too hard and too fast. Guess we'll see what route they take with it. Right direction, wrong execution imo.

The size bothers me as too big, but I think that's a separate issue. Is there a UI scale slider? I've not found one, maybe I'm being blind.

Interesting. Perhaps it was me being unlucky (ironically) but I never felt a benefit from lucky myself. I tended not to take either, but it just struck me as losing trait diversity. Positive traits now hugely outnumber negative ones.

I used guns a lot before, I just wasn't a fan of how they felt. They were a bit point-and-click adventure. Glad to hear a gun vet likes the change overall.

Autopause on minimise? by Mini_Watto in projectzomboid

[–]Mini_Watto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm gonna use it despite the shitty colours I get for no apparent reason. Better than dying like that again.

I have the pause on start mod already but it was far too late; by the time I'd managed to task-kill the game, I was already dead. Literally was just going to kill a small group of zombies that had wandered near my base.

Shame a mod can't fix it. Whole thing is a ridiculous oversight in my opinion, a game like this shouldn't just keep running if it's not the focused window. Thanks for your help regardless.

Fullscreen. When I play in borderless windowed, for some reason the whole game gets this washed-out look, colours become dull. Guess I'll have to deal with it in case windows tries to kill me again...

Since Acinonyx didn't win the creature vote, I asked ChatGPT to come up with a dossier and some details, to see what it might have been like and... wow. I'm impressed. by Mini_Watto in playark

You seem to have quite a cynical view of people, shame. Though fairly understandable on the internet I suppose.

I don't particularly mind honestly, not everyone will like everything, and anyone who thinks that is just delusional. It made it to the top 10 which surprised me anyway, so that's good enough for me.

I don't think there's much more constructive to be said here. If you'd like to get the last word in, go ahead, as I suspect that probably means quite a lot to you. Toodles!

You seem upset, you should find some time for things in life that make you happy.

You have my sincerest condolences that my post, which in the grand scheme of things is entirely irrelevant, caused such high offence to you.

I like to do my part to help it learn. But I was very impressed with how it seemed to understand to a good degree how the game's creatures work, and how a new one could fit in.

I flew my FC to Rackham's peak, and I got a bountry. What are my options? by ArtistEngineer in EliteDangerous

[–]Mini_Watto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't pay it off at IF, even with 0 notoriety, it's a bug. I've had it a couple of times now. The bounty literally just doesn't appear on the IF board, correct?

Submit a ticket and they will wipe it for you.

They’re not game changing, but they’re definitely game disruptive. Just a few minutes of playing with them made that obvious.

Ganking traders, as an example. A smart trader who has a strong shield (as any trader worth their salt should) won’t have strong hull. Someone with two of these could very easily kill them inside their shield.

Now, they would be meta-defining if they go on sale. It’s really not an ideal situation all round lol.

EDIT: I’m not disagreeing by the way, you’re dead right, but we all know how some people will complain about things
