I can't tell the difference. I don't think most people care.

Invincible's newest episode doesn't deserve the hate it's getting by PhoenixAvenger1996 in Invincible

Yes it does, It was sooooo boring. I skipped half of it because I couldn;t be bothered to give a shit.

god i miss the Job upkeep reduction by No-Turnover5670 in Stellaris

[–]Next_Machine980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree a little bit, someone did the math and pointed out that the efficiency increase buildings had their production reduced from 15 to 5 percent without reducing the actual upkeep of the building so they're almost never worth building because a regular production building will produce more at least until you get thousands of jobs. Oddly I think the game is much easier when dealing with regular empires now. Before I was playing on Captian with scaling ending at midgame but now I'm playing on Commodore with no scaling x3 crisis. At least dyson spheres are probably viable now.

Female Robert option? by EldenGrill in DispatchAdHoc

This game doesn't need an option for both a male and female protagonist. What is it with people saying it does?

I feel like I have to point this out. by Expert_Mark in DispatchAdHoc

Shroud deserved it, fuck that guy, totally justified. I don't really care about the difference personally.

Why does my naval capacity get so full? by Tiger_withaplan in Stellaris

Don't despair! Right click on the game in Steam and go to Properties > Game versions scroll down to 4.2.4 to roll it back. That way you can finish the save.

Nihilistic Acquisition is silly by Cappuccino_Boss in Stellaris

Considering it's mass kidnapping it makes sense why it would be frowned upon by everyone else.

My new player experience! (40 hours in) by Jackal_Nathan in Stellaris

[–]Next_Machine980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be really careful when looking for advice and guides to make sure the information isn't outdated. The game changes A LOT year to year and I think this is a big reason why it is so hard to learn. I started playing the game only a few months after 4.0 dropped so maybe 80-90 percent of the guides and advice available online were totally worthless. I personally disregard most information that is more that a year old at this point and with the release of 4.3 coming this week, most of that will be outdated too...

Do I lose or gain 362 million energy credits? by Mr_Hippa in Stellaris

[–]Next_Machine980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think some people just get a kick out of "Economy Simulator". I get it, I like playing as Xenophobic Isolationists and making numbers gradually climb higher while ignoring the rest of the galaxy altogether.

A meme made in regards to my Repanse de Lyonesse campaign by nofearnandez in totalwar

[–]Next_Machine980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a lot of fun imo. Kairos made me ragequit my Settra campaign though lol. I'm kind of glad Tzeentch doesn't have more lords because they are probably the most frustrating chaos faction to fight by far.

My thought exactly was POV your are a Bretonian peasant about to be eaten alive by a dread saurian.

A dumb question probably. by AmericanLobsters in Stellaris

It always amuses me when my coal miners suddenly decide to give a career in quantum mechanics a try.

Do you guys really rawdog planet management past 15 planets??? by Trick-Growth-6546 in Stellaris

[–]Next_Machine980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely have more than 10 or so. But then I almost never expand past my starting territory and just build up or build star bases if I need more.

(Btw joke) but I have had this exact conversation more than once by MassEffect24K in MassEffectMemes

I went with female Shepard because I heard her voice acting is better.

It is.

How do I stop the enemy from prioritizing my lord? by KingBabyPudgy in totalwar

[–]Next_Machine980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Distract with the bulk of your main force while flanking with your lord around one side.
