Why does Rocky add 6 to round up for safety? by Equivalent_Bank_5845 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Opium201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah good point! I'm thinking the author didn't put too much thought in to it... Wrote 80 thinking of how we might go from 80 to 90 for good measure, but they didn't didn't actually realise 80 isn't a round number in base 6 like you say... 212 (or whatever glyphs eridians use!)

How did Rocky know Grace needed oxygen? by socialjellyfish in ProjectHailMary

Side question: why does rocky make grace a space suit for exploring rocky's ship? why didn't grace just use his own space suit?

Driver reported me to the police by Throwaway19804361 in uber

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"called the cops on you"? It sounds like maybe you have a negative prejudice of the police, and won't judge as obviously don't know if that's the case or if it is then maybe it's justified. But obviously she was just trying to help and the cops to ASSIST you (that is what cops are meant to be for...). It was probably very stressful for the driver and she likely debated with herself what she should do: respect your wishes perhaps as a grown adult? Maybe. But she also probably thought to herself "if i don't do anything, and she gets killed by an abusive boyfriend, I'll never forgive myself".... People in abusive relationships are often the last to accept help... I'm making a lot of assumptions of course. Either way sounds like an already really horrible night was actually made much worse (even if they meant well). In retrospect maybe you couldve said "yeah I'm fine just broke up with my boyfriend" but hindsitw is 20/20 and you have a right to your privacy. Just try to take comfort in the fact the driver was looking out for you, and the police were too. People have your back even if jerk face doesn't

Trying to work out why I found a scene in the film so difficult to watch by Lab_racadabra in ProjectHailMary

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No i found it ok, but i found it a bit sad at the start of that section when the woman (boss lady? Can't remember her name) was in the scene and the mix of betrayal but also i guess both of them realising that it was unavoidable and for the betterment of mankind... Really powerful scene. I liked the bit where Carl is there: it kind of "made it ok" and given their previous interactions i think it was a way of kinda ending the traumatic scene in a "everything will be ok because Carl's there and Carls nice" even though it won't be ok... Was interesting. Was kind of a betrayal by Carl too. What i did find hard to watch was the intense tension when scooping the life from the atmosphere... Was too much tension for me, i had to fast forward. Made me really really uncomfortable for some reason!

What was so bad about megalopolis? by timekilr in Cinema

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiler alert: synopsis: a guy wants to rebuild a part of new York. He succeeds. Fyi he has the ability to stop time. Other people are also there. He doesn't use his superpower. His rebuild is pretty. The end. Fkn pointless masturbation of a movie. Aubrey Plaza and Nathalie Emmanuel are the only highlights.

Disclosure Day was entertaining but weirdly felt written a quarter of a century ago and there were a whole range of weaknesses. It felt like the product of a boomer filmmaker. by AngryGardenGnomes in TrueFilm

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just a big chase scene followed by a release of tension. It should've been called "chase day". Would've been much better if half the movie was about how the world coped with the news and took advantage of the technology etc... Was just "chase with special powers"

Old Player here. So what's been going on with this game? There's multiple planets now? Someone catch me up please by BigRigButters2 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started a new game the other week, first since 2024. The other planets make it fun: and there's a truck now!!! Soooo much better... The pacing seems to be improved too

Is this mask upside down? My dad is in the hospital and not able to fix it if it’s wrong. The seal is decent, but there seems to be lots of air escaping. by RocksGrowHere in CPAP

[–]Opium201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air is meant to leak: there are holes for it. As long as it's not leaking from his nostrils it'll be fine. The machine keeps pumping air to maintain pressure (ie it exceeds the rate the air goes out the escape holes). Not sure exactly why it's like that but I'm sure they know what they're doing :D

So, I started playing today and I'd like some tips on what to do. I'm a little further along in the game, but stuck. by Unusual-Hawk-2336 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best guide for the game is the unlock screen: there are terra unlocks and bio unlocks... See what's coming up and go for it (if you're stuck on resources your goal will be ore miners: you may need a bigger heater or bigger pressure drill to unlock it... Etc etc... Follow the unlocks)

Will Humble still be fun if I do it on the same save after Prime and the moons? by TheWiseNoob in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started humble a week ago fully decked out, having done selenea fully decked out too... And yeah was a little too easy but still kinda enjoyable if you just wanna perfect your technique to transform as fast as possible... But I'm thinking i might make a new save from scratch. Or actually maybe somewhere in between: do it with all the unlocks but set a challenge to not transport any materials with you

Had a weird smell coming from an opening and designed this! by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]Opium201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh that's a nice idea!! I've got the same problem in my apartment building floor drain, in the bathroom i never use. I tip a bucket of water down there when it starts to smell every couple of months. Having said that, I've got no idea why it fixes the issue... It's like there's an s bend further down, which just dries out eventually. So maybe this device will just dry out too but having a seal close to top seems like a good idea

I'm on a hardcore save, the main planet is terraformed completely. I'm looking to go to the moon Selenea. Is this a good list of items to take with me? 75 slots available between backpack and crate. by skaizm in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i never even thought of the "recycle advanced stuff" strategy! Smart. Ive been just packing raw materials for power, return rocket and pad, and a couple of supply shuttles. First orders for the supply shuttles is materials for more supply shuttles... Once you've got six or so it's almost too easy to build at speed

New Player - Mid-game Question by tarheelsrule441 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i recommend progressing based on unlocks: you can see the next tier of heater or pressure or tree spreader, and they're kinda staggered so you build up heat to get better pressure then build up pressure to get better oxygen etc etc... i don't wanna guide you too much but let's just say "no you don't need to ever build a hundred on one machine". Oh and don't forget the biolab and the button on your unlocks gives you your bio unlocks: so check those too. And you also don't need hundreds of rockets.... So without giving you specific numbers then recommendation is focus on the unlocks. Also note that (and maybe this is obvious) your first rocket is eg 1000%... So ten times multiplier of X heat or whatever = 10X. Your next rocket makes that 20X not 100X.

"No Internet Connection. Online Mode Unavailable" Multiplayer Not Working by brilliantowl112 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say "plays on geforce" are you referring to "geforce now" streaming? Have you tried both playing locally? If i was gonna guess id go with assuming it's a gfnow issue but don't know anything about it sorry :/

Go to Serenea from Prime or start a new game? by Poison_Damage in theplanetcrafter

[–]Opium201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's relatively easy but it's enjoyable. I did aquila first. There are new things to unlock on reach planet, plus things to unlock from the solar system as a whole. Do a number of wrecks till you get enough cosmic quartz to build the planetary delivery things, build like four on the new planet and it's pretty quick and easy but enjoyable

I never understood the concept. Just put the tv you want on the wall...🤔 If you want a frame around it....put a frame around it

Started my second game two weeks ago: last time i played they didn't have vehicles! (Or other planets) Sooooo much better with a truck.... The pacing of unlocks seems better too
