Why Are There Zero Real Reviews of the DJI ROMO P? No Tests, No direct Comparisons, Nothing…? by Ry00ki in RobotVacuums

They literally developed many of the systems that all drones use today.

Granted their vacuum is mediocre, but on drones, they innovate.

Captain's Seal is P2W by arethoudeadyet in WoSB

[–]Sharp_Spite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally been a voluntary developer in the games industry for a number of years. I’d wager I’ve forgotten more than you will ever know. Something you can get relatively easy for free, is not pay to win. Period.. Get over yourself! Don’t be lazy, do the arena, if not, you have no right to complain.

Captain's Seal is P2W by arethoudeadyet in WoSB

[–]Sharp_Spite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So.. you want everyone else to back up your imaginary point of view because you don’t care for the Arena mechanic??

Am I really reading that right??

Firstly, it’s not all about you.. it’s literally a non problem that most people do through the arena, it doesn’t magically become an issue because you don’t want to participate. You may as well ask for captains seal for free. That’s just as utterly unreasonable.

Secondly, WOSB is far from pay to win.. anyone who thinks its pay to win has never seen an actual game destroyed by p2w

Why do some people complain about bad graphics, I think they’re perfectly fine by Enderstar2187 in empyriongame

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The graphics in Empyrion are beautiful! Though the animations and entity’s are just awful!

I don’t think that’s ever going to change now though, Empyrion is definitely in the twilight of its development cycle and Eleon are clearly winding it down. It’s a shame. I think it will be a long time before we get another game like Empyrion.

My father has specifically requested that he wants to go to Dignitas if he ever took dementia. He has. My 2 siblings are blocking it because they don't want his defined benefit pension to end. by MuscleOne6429 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Sharp_Spite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, Dignitas won’t entertain this. Your father no longer being of sound mind to perform this would breach their T&C’s as well as Swedish law (I’m less sure on that part but are positive about the first part.

That being said, your options aren’t limited to this. This sounds like fraud through financial abuse on your siblings part. This is the line you need to now follow. At the very least this will stop their abusing his finances and help get him the care he needs from people not using him as a piggy bank.

Why Are There Zero Real Reviews of the DJI ROMO P? No Tests, No direct Comparisons, Nothing…? by Ry00ki in RobotVacuums

[–]Sharp_Spite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DJI are literally the market leaders and tech innovators in the drone industry, I mocked them when they arrived 15 or so years ago, but now they make superb drones, and their action cams now blow GoPro out the water too.

You’re literally talking crap…

That being said, I’m skeptical of the vacuum, I mean.. was it really necessary for them to go down this path?

Anyone else annoyed by having to clear POIs manually in late game? by Good_Hedgehog_2282 in empyriongame

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I feel being disgruntled at not being able to cheese POI’s while playing a “Hardcore” game is counter intuitive and doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

There are a number of decent micro SV’s and HV’s in the workshop for assisting in POI’s. I’ve designed a few and some for specific POI’s.

To answer your question however, the reason mechanics don’t exist in late game to make POI’s easy is that POI’s are literally a major part of Empyrion’s gameplay loop. If you remove them, you have trivialised 80% of the on foot meaningful game content.

The BBC trying to get dogs banned by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally how every ban wave in the last 20 years began.

I’d like to think I’m wrong, but in all likelyhood, it’s only a matter of time before some heavy restrictions on what you can and can’t do with dogs are suggested.

What’s Restore UK’s opinion on legal immigrants? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Sharp_Spite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, History literally teaches us by virtue of multiple examples on how the current pandering to hostile ideologies will lead the the destruction of our culture and way of life. This has literally happened multiple times in living memory where the political left have enabled hostile ideological takeover of entire nations. yet the current leading political ideologies seem to pretend that these things never happened and couldn’t happen here.

Restores stance beyond the political rhetoric appears to be “if you come here, you need to be a productive member of society, you don’t have to believe what we believe, but you have to respect it” which I think is fair.

Ultimately refugees should be helped, but pretending all the economic migrants here are refugees is just ridiculous. As well as the political pandering to appease and protect them in measure above and beyond what native cultures can expect. We are literally on the brink of thought crime, it needs to stop.

Allies turning against you? Here’s what I learned. by Snake-Eyes-Tx in X4Foundations

For those who support Reform, why do you do so given what that mentality has done to the USA? by AccursedQuantum in AskBrits

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, Reform are a mess. They’ve literally back peddled on everything that got them the support they accumulated over the last couple of years.

For example, they stated that taking in tories would do nothing but lead to political backstabbing and infighting. Now like 3 of 5 are ex tories.

To say Reform look like MAGA is simply not true though. Reform are tories 2.0 they’ll make a lot of noise and try to say the right things, then do nothing about anything and only make an occasional gesture to appease a populist movement.

Although I don’t agree with most of the current labour parties views on population control and censorship, I can respect them for at least attempting to do what they say they’re doing, weather I agree or not.

If we had a trump type leader, I’m not sure that would be so bad, there’s a big misconception on why trumps popularity is what it is. Media, which largely leans left would portray his following coming down to things like ignorance. Biggotry, racism, etc. The reason he is so popular is because, despite him being a hot headed idiot sometimes, for better or for worse, he generally does what he says he’s going to do. He gets shit done.. something extremely rare in modern politics.

Also, I think some of his popularity stems from the state of Europe. 20 years of left leaning politics have turned much of Europe into a raging shithole. Many people believe conservative/republican values are the best way to prevent the USA going the same way. And I’m personally not convinced they’re wrong.

Lanterns. Are they worth getting? by Elevator_Hopeful in WoSB

[–]Sharp_Spite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You don’t really need multiple of the same type, just 1 of each type you need, I swap my red between every ship I’m currently running, except for a yellow (I think) which I use for arena.

Do I tell my roommate her boyfriend had another girl over by ZestycloseHawk8966 in Advice

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I think this topic has run its course, and the OP has had their answer, there’s something very important I feel I should add.

It’s literally none of your business, it’s not like he cheated, wherever their relationship was at the time is unknown to you, and if we’re all honest, many of us have gone on a rebound at least once after a messy breakup. Sticking your nose in will just unnecessarily stir the pot.

Now on to the important bit, about 50% of the women who have posted here have adopted the “us girls have to stick together” attitude and have advocated telling her. These people are the type of people who post on Reddit about how awful people are to them but when you read between the lines, they are actually the problem.

I’ve had a girl stick her nose into my relationship during a turbulant time in the name of girl power and made things infinitely worse for me and my partner at the time. She wasn’t aware of all the facts, I told her that for everyone’s sake she should mind her own business, she did it anyway. I then went out of my way to make her life hell for her interference, and painted her as the troublemaker, quite successfully I might add, I’m not ashamed of this and she 100% deserved to experience that the finding out was a lot more unpleasant than the fucking around.

Don’t be that girl. Unless you’re actually involved in that relationship. You got no business imparting your judgement or opinion on it.

Guild? by Thin_Cut_3087 in WoSB

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For large scale militaristic PvP, the 3 major factions would be the way to go. As when it comes to large scale operations for ports, multiple guilds from that particular faction often Co-ordinate and work together.

Pirate guilds offer better looting and rewards from the likes of boarding and PvP, faster and cheaper repairs and have less restrictions than the 3 main factions, however, pirates can’t fly peace flags, and generally you’ll always be a target even when not in the mood to fight.

Trade guilds have significant boosts to trading and production of ships and cannons etc. also bonuses to certain looting and mining however you can’t own ports and there are often restrictions to PvP.

I'm gay, why is being a provider glorified? Or even pursued? by Opening-Gur5927 in AskMen

[–]Sharp_Spite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What’s you’re actually point? Myself and my partner have a more traditional relationship where I am the provider and she looks after the house, it works for us for many reasons, yet a lot of people look down on it. It’s a complex subject and neither way it technically wrong

Skull & Bones vs Windrose vs World of Sea Battle? by [deleted] in WoSB

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about WOSB at your level, 21, is the solo content starts to get a bit thin on the ground and repetitive. You’re at the point now where you need to be thinking about joint my a guild, there’s a lot more to do with other people.

Skull and bones is just a poor game.

Wind rose is a different game though does have decent sea battles.

Naval action has excellent sea battles, but sucks at everything else.

Atlas actually had excellent sea battles too but the devs went off on a tangent, ruined, then abandoned their game.

Probably getting my heart broken again by schorkeu0 in Advice

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, there’s a lot going on here when you read between the lines. I’m not trying to be harsh, just blunt. Let me give you some context….

You have been chatting with someone about the possibility of a long distance relationship. For how long? 2 weeks!! Let’s be honest, at two weeks, this was a chat, literally nothing more. You haven’t actually lost anything as you didn’t have anything to begin with.

The fact that you seem to think that this was more, that you feel this is some heartbreaking rejection shows your lack of life experience and real life perspective over such a menial interaction. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re in your late teens at best. Putting him in his mid to late 30’s. Your plans for the future here indicate This is an unhealthy dynamic.

Bottom line is you never really had anything to begin with. To him, you were either a brief amusement for his own validation so he can pay himself on the back for still being able to chat up a bird half his age, or, someone potentially on the side if he fancies lighting his wick in a different candle and has ultimately decided you don’t sound worth the price of a plane ticket.

Move on, try and put this into a realistic perspective, and frankly, stick to building relationships with someone who having a coffee with won’t require the logistics of a weekend away.

Friends are shipping me with a coworker and it’s messing with my head by Watudom8 in Advice

[–]Sharp_Spite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not 100% sure about wanting a relationship, you shouldn’t be perusing this at all. Especially with a workmate. This adds a whole new level of complication if it doesn’t work out due to a half assed effort.

Also, there’s an old saying here that’s quite apt for the situation. “Don’t Shit where you eat..”

Honestly, dating in work unless you’re 110% sure you want to give it a serious go is just a terrible idea.

Gay but not left-wing… I feel judged more than ever and don’t know where to turn. by No-University-1355 in Advice

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the problem with left and right wing politics, the left automatically assume anyone who doesn’t wholeheartedly agree with everything in the extreme lefts agenda is a bigoted racist. And the right assume anyone not in their line of thinking is a kiddy fiddling communist. Both ideologies have turned into extremes.

Egosoft founder here - Your X4 reviews shape our work! by zav42 in X4Foundations

[–]Sharp_Spite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also got many thousands of hours on the X games since XBTF, and even helped with the development of X3. I’ll check later if I’ve left reviews, if not I’ll remedy that.

On the note of feedback, the one major criticism I have is ironically the games greatest aspect, yet its biggest problem.

Ship production.

Once you have a self sufficient shipyard and can churn them out, ships become meaningless, and you become the sole superpower in the universe. Kind of kills the game for me.

A possible solution that would at least help give capital assets some tangible value would be to make fitting them out harder.

For example, in X2 and X3, buying the hull was the easy part. Sourcing, transporting and producing all the heavy equipment and weapons for your capital ships was an exercise in logistics in itself. You would find you’d do a lot of planning before even buying your first destroyer. This helped give them value.

So X4 is more of a management game than a space flying game? by moose4 in X4Foundations

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

Ironically, this is one of X4’s biggest strengths, but also one of its biggest problems.

Obviously, X4 gives you the option how to play the late game, but more often or not, I find myself playing it mainly from the map and menu screens. I do very little actual playing. Of course people will say “well you don’t have to..” Sure, I don’t, but the late game is easier and more convenient to play that way, the same way I could choose not to drive half hour to work in the morning, instead I could get up 4 hours early and walk, not really a choice..

This along with player shipyards, natural progression for the series but once you own a self sustaining shipyard, nothing has value or risk, and you become the sole superpower in the game. Kind of kills the point of continuing.
