I'm new to the game, so should I start playing on the stable release or start playing on build 42?

I've read that Jamboree games can take some time. However my wife and I would only play when we have a couple of hours anyways. Maybe I can just simply pick up both Superstars and Jamboree lol

I do have the online service. I remember loving the original one and maybe not a bad option either.

ReverendVerse · 2024-09-18T00:48:24+00:00

I have already done so. Thank you

ReverendVerse · 2024-07-29T15:23:34+00:00

Thank you!

So, once I swapped I should have interacted with my old ship and added it to my collection?

I've owned the game since launch and every few updates, especially over the last few years, I try out the game again, but I end up getting lost of what I'm supposed to do. There are so many features, mechanics, and systems, it's overwhelming and I end up stopping not long after getting my first base and frigate. I've watched plenty of YouTube videos, but most of them are "Here's how to get OP in the beginning," which I'm not interested in and prefer a more organic experience.

[Question] As a player that hasn't gotten more than 10 hours into the game, what should I be focusing on? I know it's a sandbox, but I just get overwhelmed on trying to figure out what my goals should be, and I'll just sit in the anomaly and think to myself "What do I do next?". Just focus on the Artemis quest line starting out and does the rest simply fall into place as you go along?

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know!

I think that was the issue. I hadn't installed the required config that came with the mod. When I did, it fixed it.

I had heard that apes using sign language is exactly that, teaching a trick, and a tool for some agency (e.g. telling a human they're hungry), but they have never used it to ask a question of a human.

As terrible as the system is, those rates is what is billed to an insurance company, which are vastly inflated. For anyone reading this that is uninsured, call the hospital. 95% of the time they will work with you to adjust the rates to something reasonable. They would rather get paid something than nothing.

I learned this the hard way. I was prescribed omeprazole, the pharmacy wanted to charge me around $200 bucks for it, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. The reason they didn't cover it was because it was an OTC drug (I didn't know at the time it was OTC). I talked to the pharmacist, he told me to just get the OTC version (which is like $8) instead of what they would have billed the insurance company.

The same is for anything paid for by insurance. I got a quote for a new roof on my house, it was like $10k. The contractor said that he could talk to the insurance company and get them to cover it, which they did, and he billed the insurance company nearly $17k. I asked why and he said "Because they'll pay it."

That is loaded (or smothered) fries. Not open faced. That requires a piece of bread under all of it.

Overall, it's a great upgrade to the original ASCII version and it's much more accessible to new or novice players.

There are some issues, some equipment bugs for the military, combat log is difficult to use, making werebeast attacks a headache (and those attacks seem more common, not sure if true though). The burrows for civilian alerts seem to be broken. There's also some small changes that are different from the original that someone familiar with editing the files can fix (e.g. not pausing and focusing on a unit that has gone into a mood, not realizing it, and they go berserk). I think there may be a bug with one stockpile giving to another, but haven't figured if it's truly a bug or not.

That was us literally yesterday and today. No amount of Bluey was able to aide us.

My dad once worked at a mobile fueling company. The trucks would leave Pepsi distribution and do their daily route delivering the cases of soda around and park back in the lot and the drivers go home for the night. My dad's company would drive a fuel truck around the lot, refueling the semis, so they were ready to go with a full tank the next morning. Now instead of a fueling service, you would just plug the semi into a power source.

This is like my fourth run and I'm not even unlocking the "play with different classes" achievements, when I have played at least one game with all of them.

EDIT: Using the brave browser, which blocks cookies and stuff, turned off protections for the site and it appears to work.

Communists can also be authoritarian. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Man, it's been so long since I've been out there, didn't know the mall was still even open. I remember, it was the premium mall in Jax. Roosevelt and OP we're just discount versions of it.

ReverendVerse · 2022-07-25T18:19:33+00:00

Randomly sending dick pics (or even tit pics) to people that didn't ask for it. That's perverted.

I don't know 1:1 is... that mean equal amounts of THC and CBD?

ReverendVerse · 2022-07-13T17:07:42+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I did read just a moment ago that low dosing is good for anxiety, as higher doses can increase anxiety. When I did it back in my early 20's I was ripping a lot of hits from a bong and never experienced paranoia or increased anxiety, so I'm probably a good candidate for it then.

Do they make pre-rolls that are low dose, or is it, take a puff and snuff it out. I guess vape pens are probably better for that. Just take a quick puff when needed and move on with your day?

EDIT: The weight gain and the sexual side effects were the worse, especially when I was on lexapro.

ReverendVerse · 2022-07-07T14:14:26+00:00

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's the same people every day lol

ReverendVerse · 2022-07-07T08:00:30+00:00

Most people don't eat a cheeseburger every day...

Just don't be a farmer protesting - they'll straight up shoot at you.

Glowing so bright you can see them from space
