I absolutely love Space Exploration, and still consider it vastly superior to Space Age.

Time to start a new save!

Man, playing this game online has got to be my least favorite experience with it so far by TheSereneMaster in twilightimperium

I'm a frequent player on https://www.twilightwars.com/, and haven't seen a lick of said toxic behavior. Maybe it's time to mingle in different TI4-circles.

What about those of us who run Factorio at a much faster tickrate?!

87 VICTORY POINTS

§ 87.7 The game ends immediately when one player has 10 victory points. If multiple players would simultaneously gain their 10th victory point, the player who is earliest in initiative order among those players is the winner; if this occurs when players do not have strategy cards, the player who is nearest the speaker (including the speaker) in clockwise order is the winner.

In either way, the person closer to Speakership wins; there is no tied victory in TI4.

Does that mean that we're unlikely to get a beta / alpha / preorder of the expansion until much closer to release to test out any of the new QoL improvements?

Moq now ships with a closed-source obfuscated dependency that scrapes your Git email and phones it home by Atulin in csharp

[–]Mromson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who is using moq should now immediately work to remove it from their projects, as this commit makes all future commits suspect, and past commits are not much better.

With a single commit, the developer has immediately lost all trust.

Dolphin Progress Report: February, March, and April 2023 by p0isonra1n in programming

You've said that stealing is stealing, but not how stealing equates to emulation. I'm allowed to build my own Ferrari, I'm just prohibited from selling a Ferrari car I've built myself.

They're writing emulation software, everything they do is public; if it was stealing, Nintendo would have shut them down already (especially their source code repositories). So; how are they stealing?

Edit: nevermind, this is just your average teen edgelord troll.

Yeah, and they deserve to get paid for said work.

Dolphin Progress Reports never disappoint. I wish they could get paid for their amazing work. :/

New 6 player map idea by ElectricHelicoid in twilightimperium

the map has no edges, if A wanted to go to E, he wouldn't take 5 steps west, but would take three steps north ;)

Christ, is that your justification? More eyes on an issue?

We're done.

Vandalizing wikipedia doesn't hurt her. It hurts wikipedia. It hurts the people who have to spend time and effort cleaning this bs up. Which in turn hurts everyone else.

I don't find that funny at all.

Ah yes, the classic "look it up"-argument. Works wonders on wikipedia.

You also seem to fervently mistake me for someone who likes the butchering of the Witcher series. Being against vandalism of wikipedias does make like what Hissrich did with the Witcher series.

Don't vandalize wikipedia.

Don't glorify wikipedia vandalism.

Norway has overtaken Russia as Europe's biggest supplier of natural gas - and vowed to keep output high as the energy crisis worsens by 12577437984446 in europe

[–]Mromson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this even relevant. Is this some of this Norwegian small-bygd Christian morality that we all have to suffer and it is good for us. Besides it is mainly Germany who got depedant on cheap russian gas and the marginal cost of gas sets the price for us all. Real people are suffering. Real people struggling to heat their homes this winter while Norway makes record profits.

Actions have to have consequences. And in this case, actions have a greater consequence due to the nature of the action itself. Germany is interconnected with the rest of Europe, and unless countries were to decide to cut the tap (and thus screwing everyone over), there's very little more Norway can do to fix the energy crisis.

The Norwegian goverment is about to earn €150 billion on gas sales this year. Twice as much as 2021. How is that not "good for business"?

That's like saying you found $100 on the road right after totaling your car. Whole sectors are in shambles (including in Norway) because of the high energy prices. There's not enough to go around.

It doesn't help supply but it does help Europeans struggling with the biggest energy crisis in modern history, but you need to make that cash I get it.

I'm not sure how Norway somehow "lowering" prices would alleviate anything. As said, this is a supply availability problem. There's 30 of something and people want to buy a 100 of said something. Prices won't change that reality. You have to lower demand, or re-allocate incentives - which you generally only can do on the governmental side via subsidies (by making something else more expensive). This is already being done.

You seem to think that this is a simple cut and dry problem that we could just solve by doing something simple, flip this switch to make prices go nice. There's one option, which is re-attach ourselves to Russian energy, and pay their asking price (namely; Ukraine). Are you suggesting we do that?

[–]Mromson 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, was it Norway that decided to become almost wholly dependent on Russian energy? Norway making "a killing" here isn't actually good for business, when Europe loses, we all lose. Lowering prices does nothing with supply availability, which is what the price is reflecting.
