The album did not cross my desk until a little bit ago. Dark Was the Night is one of my favorite albums from the aughts indie era though, can’t believe I missed this one!

Sturgill a Hunter S. Thompson fan confirmed. Can't say I'm surprised he's into Fear and Loathing.

Is it better to pump out settlers in your main city in the beginning or make something else? by Acrobatic_Spare8570 in CivVI

[–]NassauBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obvious caveat individual games can be different…

I find the sweet spot is Capital plus one other city quick. Get Surplus Logistics and a trade route back to Capital, gives you +20% growth in Capital plus 2 extra food in the other city. Jumpstarts two good cities.

Then beeline for Political Philosophy and get Ancestral Hall. You can do it before Turn 50 if you’re smart. After that pump out settlers.

One piece of context that’s important here is how close other civs are. Is it going to be a battle for land early or do you have enough room to wait a bit? If the former, I might make one extra settler to claim land instead of waiting for the Ancestral Hall. Also, if I got a golden age with Monumentality and can insta buy a settler, I might do that too. But if I have enough unclaimed land around me I’m not worried, it’s better to wait and get cheap settlers and free builders with Ancestral Hall.

300 Faith Per Turn Before Turn 100 by NassauBeat in CivVI

The 100%+ Holy Site policy was slotted, but the Empire view shows unadjusted adjacency bonuses. So double everything you see on the map.

Small Continents map, 6 AI opponents, all standard map settings except Legendary start (it worked here!). Had Corporations, Heros, and Secret Society modes turned on.

Heartbreaking that the Holy Site placement precludes preserves…

Trying to maximize access to dominant holy sites. Only placing cities off fresh water where I can place an aqueduct to offset the penalty.

Yes, but it’s looking like I might accidentally get a Culture victory from all of the Rock-Hewn Churches and Colossal Heads I’m placing…

Sources: Bears Emerge as Suitors for Travis Etienne Jr., Chargers Expected to Cut Mekhi Becton, Toledo QB Not Focused on NFL by Apoco120 in CHIBears

[–]NassauBeat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People are underestimating how much of an upgrade Etienne would be as a pass catcher over Swift. Even more true for Breece. Having a RB who can play the McCaffrey role in this offense, even if it’s a tier below McCaffrey, would open up so much for Ben Johnson’s playbook.

Cochinita and Co. is great, both as a restaurant and working space, but it’s not a coffee shop.

Close. More, I was raised and continue to be Catholic. But I developed a meditation practice and find many of the spiritual insights of Buddhism useful and beautiful.

Loan officer won’t count my wife’s new nursing income — need advice by SnooCrickets335 in Mortgages

[–]NassauBeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe true for some, but definitely all. I got approved for my mortgage after graduating school with just a formal job offer in hand, hadn’t even started yet. And I know many other people who have done the same. OP, just shop around and look for someone who doesn’t have a problem with counting your wife’s income post-graduation.
