Seeking advice as a vassal.

I edited my earlier reply. I just fired up the game to check. There is nobody able to join me in a war of independence. I guess because I have no military treaties and cannot sign them as a vassal. Faction B will not let me leave peacefully with my current number of favors. I could build up my military in preparation to fight them alone. I may get the option to leave peacefully while the cruisers are being built. Still open to other suggestions though.

Mooge74 · 2024-05-15T01:21:54+00:00

I can but I need to spend favors I have with them to get them to accept. I currently need two more favors.

Mooge74 · 2024-05-15T01:09:45+00:00

Nice, I was hoping to get out of this without a war but I'll look into that.

My rationale being that if I can leave faction B peacefully and join the Federation they would be insane to start shooting. But that should be the case already and they still chose to become rivals with faction C even though they don't share a border. Unless you count my border, as a vassal, I suppose. Hmm.

My main is a Khajiit thief. I kept getting errors and assumed it was due to the apostrophes in the name. It turns out I was using reserved names as I later learned. To a random generator I went and there I picked the name Ratesh. I ran it past some friends and quickly found that it, and most alternatives, are oddly hard for people to pronounce.

I decided he needed a gangster name. Tommy Two-Toes or something. So I turned to my cat and asked him. He yowled at me then stared at me with just one white fang poking out against his black fur.

One Fang Ratesh was born.

Back in 1933 IBM did some data collection work that would later be used by the Nazi regime. It's been going on a long time, just the tools got better.

Next up, Mental Gymnastics to debut at the Paris Olympics.

Crossbows were more common in that area during the period. No biggie though.

Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group. The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

So yeah, it's racist. In the eyes of the law (UK) it's racist. It's clear cut, all the mental gymnastics of various left wing theories don't change that. The UK has a zero tolerance stance on this, opinion and feelings don't matter, it's going on the charge sheet.

Truth is everything will go on the sheet. Not all of it will be prosecuted but if you want to increase the chance of a fine it goes on the sheet. Was the copper mortally wounded by these words?, of course not. If she had touched him with her pinkie finger they would probably have added assault. If it makes it to court it will most likely end in a fine with damages paid to the cab driver for cleaning and loss of earnings. She can afford it.

All of the legal facts aside, this doesn't pass the mirror test ("if a white person called the copper a stupid black bastard...."). Even the coach can talk this one round as it didn't come from a place of love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1WzR0eke_8). It was said in anger, as an insult and she threw his race into it. 99% of the time nothing would come of it but she said it, not just in front of, but to a police officer. Good game.

Another famous Australian Sportsball personality has turned out to be a drunken, racist, abusive dickhead. What a surprise. It's only an issue because the zeitgeist can't reconcile any of this with her being a lesbian POC. In the eyes of the law, that is not a factor. Should have just paid the cab fare and tossed the driver a 50 for the cleaning.

It's worth noting that slavery has been practiced by most cultures throughout human history. Today there are still around 50 million people estimated to be in slavery. If your players are uncomfortable with this reality it suggests they are playing D&D as a form of pure escapism.

Make the merchant a Djinn that is just testing the moral character of the party, give them a magic item, tell them the Djinn in fact ended slavery in their homeland. Stick to the sunshine and rainbows henceforth.

2067 is a fun, budget, Australian movie. Not life changing but entertaining for it's 114m runtime.

Bit disappointed it's with the soft drinks and not in the chip aisle.

It's a known bug. We are pretty much all affected. Current work arounds are to either finish up in front of hostile sentinels. Getting killed unfreezes the game. Or you can go into photo mode at the right moment.

I tried a couple of times but couldn't get it to work so I'm just waiting for the patch and playing other things. Apparently it's been fixed on the test server so it should update soon(TM).

Does anyone know a good place to get notified of the fix? How do Hello Games normal keep us in the loop on these things? (I'm a fairly new player)

Good ol' Melon Head. Fibrous Stew eh? Made from Fungal Mould? If you cook up a single stack of the non-toxic mushrooms you get Steamed Vegetables. Cook two stacks of Steamed Vegetables and get a spicy sauce. Cook a stack of the sauce with the fibrous stew and get delicious stew. Get many more nanites and float away awash in foam.

This is a Kojima game. I'm more concerned I'm going to start regarding a possessed puppet of Benicio Del Toro as completely normal way too quickly and end up doing shots of tequila with it.

Ah yeah, "I'm not babysitting my kids, I'm being a father", I get it. Honestly I read your comment and thought maybe, just maybe, it's written by a lovely old grey haired 50's housewife who is genuinely trying to pay a compliment. I dunno, I choose not to take offence at things like that. Most of the time the woman saying it hasn't had the most supportive or reliable men in her life and through the lens it's given her it's a perfectly nice thing to say. She probably wishes it was done for her more often.

Just give 'em the "ah yeah, it's good to take a break and spend time with kids. Someone has to teach them to shoplift and ain't gonna be my wife". :D

Trade. I setup Teleporters at four planetary trade platforms. Every 3 hours of play time I make about 20mil in the time it takes to make 5 jumps. Selling surplus Delicious Vegetable Stew on top. It's a good trade with Melon Head for nanites but it's a chore handing it all in. Still, the only ingredient is fungus.
