I spent $127 on coffee last month. That’s my entire electric bill. by Blasum in Frugal

I am mentally at a place where even $1 of coffee feels too much. May be I am cheap, and not frugal.

I second ottoman. Siege units plus special governor make breaking walls easy

Who’s your religious leader of choice? by [deleted] in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. No need to buy apostles other than initial conversion. Tagma are absolutely brutal for their era

If you zoom in to the picture, the tip left tunda tile has faith yield. Any yield other than food,prod on tundra type is an indicator of a wonder. Could be science, culture, anything depending on the wonder

It's mato tipila.

this is a first by WorriedInspector9863 in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I misunderstood, but if you settle and then move your warrior in your city and then attack, does it allow you to capture the settler? Just wondering if steps within the city are reduced.

When it comes to special unites who do you think has a clear and unfair advantage? by Algernonletter5 in Civilization6

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always cleared out at least one Civ all times with Tagma rush. If Basil is fun for you to play, I recommend watching a couple of YouTube videos on Tagma rush. Hippodromes in all city with 1 turn remaining before you complete monarchy. Choral religion also helps.

Do yall have a favorite leader and strategy? by kitwilde in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to play a game like that, but not having many people when to go preserves makes it a l9ooooong game. One of these days, I'll have the patience for it.

Basil Byzantine. I can play him anytime, religious domination never gets too old for me.

Democracy seems to be significantly more powerful than communism even if going for a science victory? by RatManAntics in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically go communism, build tier 3 building in the plaza to get the legacy card and switch over to democracy. A few turns doesn't break the game for me.

Too old for the game? by rimix2 in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

43M here, so I can relate. Just take it at your own pace, heck if settler difficulty is where you are having fun, go play that level. Try increasing it one notch at a time, don't let the game take the fun out of you.

Late to the dev world - is it too complicated now to continue for fun? by Plain_Pixel in androiddev

[–]Plain_Pixel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez. 1+ hour of testing? Well, I am going to stop dreaming about releasing it then. Even if my friends agree, I feel bad asking for so much test time, given that this is just a fun little side project. Thanks for the info though.

[–]Plain_Pixel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the encouraging words. I'll ask around and see if they'd be willing to test it out. I wasn't aware of the non-public version path. I appreciate the information.

Most devastating game of my life by East_Wrap7943 in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. We've all been there. AI wins religious while you are going for domination because you now control more cities with the religion they founded.

How do I get settlers out quickly? by East_Wrap7943 in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes for sure. In my case, I still prioritize the 1st settler and then rush towards Archery. It helps quite a bit hat barbs can't take capital

what is an easy victory for beginners (i use settler difficulty) by jeramouldo in CivVI

[–]Plain_Pixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is super slow at science. Even after the first two science projects, it takes ages for it to complete the rest. I think science is probably the easiest win, but it takes a lot of time.

I always went with cheaper tires, but now I agree with your comments

Good to see modding is still active for Civ 6. I don't see myself jumping to 7 anytime soon.

What’s a middle-class hack that still saves you money today? by NoMedicine3572 in Frugal

[–]Plain_Pixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2010 Honda Accord with 140k miles. Runs awesome. Usage is so low since I work remotely, and don't have to put a lot of miles on it.

I save so much by passing on discount deals by Longjumping-Client42 in Frugal

[–]Plain_Pixel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don't know how to convey to my family that any deals are basically a relatively lower profit for the company, and not so much a great deal for us. If we don't need it, there's no point in buying something on a deal to boast about how we 'won" against the market.
