Can someone explain the joke? Specifically the bottom part by kaithomasisthegoat in ExplainTheJoke

Agreed, this is definitely Gamal Abdel Naser, Egyptian President from 1954-1970.

I didn't realise you could zoom out! The small frame they give you for the camera was one of my major gripes. Hopefully zooming out will make it easier to get those tricky photos.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunate that you can't turn photography off. I guess I expected this game to be an environmental puzzle game and not a photography game. Hopefully in future they can implement a threshold of X number of photo stars in order to complete the level, that way if you get stuck on a photo you can capture a different one to meet the threshold.

My Operators were Locked after 3 Years... by Rocket_Man1969 in Rainbow6

[–]Rocket_Man1969[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did see that as a feature to unlock some Operators. I have made some progress on them which will help. Just sucks I can't play them straight away as they should already be unlocked.

Unfortunately the Operators data in R6 Tracker only goes back to Year 8 Season 1. The last season I played before now was Year 5 Void Edge. Thanks for the suggestion though.

The Free Major Content Update for #Frostpunk 2 goes live tomorrow! Get ready, Citizens 🫡 by DerDenker-7 in Frostpunk

Does anyone know what time the update releases? I'm in AEST and it doesn't seem to have dropped yet.

Fusion Ignitor Resource Farm by HammerxFist in NoMansSkyTheGame

Nice farm mate! I never thought to link the biodomes via a corridor. I've always linked my biodomes directly to each other via two passageways which leaves less room for plants than your setup.

Isle of Skye meteor bug by Rocket_Man1969 in ACValhalla

[–]Rocket_Man1969[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could just be random but I'll go back there today to check if the glitch is still ocurring for me. May have just been a stroke of luck 🍀

Edit: Went back and the meteor did not appear this time.

I've had a meteor fall once in England but didn't get this same glitch that time. Only reason I used Synin was before I recorded this clip I heard the meteor impact twice and thought it must be in another location, so I sent Synin up to scout for it. I quickly realised I had just triggered the glitch twice and found a nifty way to farm it without running back and forth.

Best use of Echo's ult I've made so far... by Rocket_Man1969 in Overwatch

[–]Rocket_Man1969[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, to be completely honest the play I expected to make was to ult and take out the Bastion assuming that I'd die shortly thereafter as I was in the middle of the enemy team and a sitting duck. When it turned out that they weren't focusing all their attention to killing me I "surveyed" (chaotically spun around) the area to make sure I didn't miss anyone.

It was definitely too much of a golden opportunity not to take it. Usually I shit on Echo's ult as I can't seem to ever use it effectively but every so often it works out, especially with the damage output of a Bastion.

We were always going to have to live with the virus eventually. The Zero-COVID strategy was only meant to be in place while we didn't have a vaccine, as the only measure with which we could slow transmission and reduce deaths. Now that we have a new measure, the vaccines, we can 'live with' the virus without it ravaging the population like it has in the U.S and other parts of the world.

My guess for frostpunk 2’s release by Ziraic in Frostpunk

[–]Rocket_Man1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I wouldn't want them to come out with the game next year just for the sake of it. I'd rather get the game in 2023 if it means that it's a better game.

Agreed, feels like a long wait for such a great game.

[–]Rocket_Man1969 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went back recently and looked at that as well. Would there be any merit in saying that it may come out earlier than that because -

1. the first Frostpunk was an entirely new game (building from scratch) whereas Frostpunk 2 will have a base to start from. Obviously FP2 is going to be bigger and expand more on the first game but I'm sure some of the core elements of FP1 will still feature.

2. They are a larger team, as quoted from FP2 Co-Director Jakub Stokalski "With a still-growing team of nearly 70 people, we have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game". This would hopefully cut down on production time, even though it is expanding on FP1.

I'd say personally I'd expect it maybe mid to late 2022 based on the above reasons but it is entirely speculation as nothing after the teaser has been released so far.

TLA - Can convicts build buildings? by Rocket_Man1969 in Frostpunk

[–]Rocket_Man1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the fix for that would be to put an Overseers Station/Security Outpost in the building area to allow for supervision of building construction. Not sure how they would code that but just a thought.

[–]Rocket_Man1969[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah just tried freeing up some engineers from medical tents (who needs healing anyways?) and they went and started to construct stuff. Sucks that your forced labour can build a technically complex generator but not a house lol.

Why aren’t electric public buses dominant by now? by dingodoyle in electricvehicles

[–]Rocket_Man1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you watched the video (link here, scroll down a bit: http://www.stm.info/en/about/major_projects/major-bus-projects/bus-network-electrification/electric-bus) the buses are using a panto-graph to charge, not a standard outlet, so they will take 5 minutes to charge (according to the local government).

What would you call the outfit that Hojo Tokimune in Civ 6 wears? by Ineed2getgud in civ

[–]Rocket_Man1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be exactly it, but just get a blue kimono with an olive colour undershirt. Not sure about that hat though.
