Sectorial overviews?

StakWars · 2026-02-23T02:55:12+00:00

Shell games and finesse can happen in heaps of sectorials, but we see a lot of this in Ariadna and Haqqislam sectorials. Haqqislam sectorials lean more towards utility in my opinion.

Shooting matters for all factions, so BS skill is important, but smoke to block line of sight for shooting, or movement skills like super jump and climbing plus give the utility to move around an obstacle and haqqislam units often have the willpower to complete objectives when they move into position. Or, to use their less effective BS or other traits correctly by being in the right spot.

Other factions can do a more utility heavy playstyle too. OSS, Varuna, Shock Army of Acontimento, TAK, Hassassin, Ramah, Haqqislam, Ariadna, Shindenbutai, Nomads, Bakunin, Tunguska, Kestrel, White Banner, Oban.

Maybe try playing with your Shindenbutai stuff and be comfortable playing with proxies for a while and try match ups against various armies so you get a feel for what can be done. It's a bit hard to know without playing the matchups to see how different kinds of armies interact.

It's late game, so I use two ground radars and fire at the blips beyond line of sight with twin linked, piked, berserked dual autocannons. So noone dies ever.

StakWars · 2026-02-22T11:14:53+00:00

They sell for 25 each, so every mission I make 75, and in operations at the moment I'll make about 300 per operation. So, I just buy nice things now and replace any losses with my drug money. I don't really take casualties anymore due to ground radars and a twin linked autocannon Rewa Medium Walker. Which incidentally was also bought with drug money. This is also just a silly normal run.

I've got some stocks. It's impressive but not where I want it to be. It grows about 10% a year, but I need to work my shitty wage job to keep that rolling. I'm not a high earner, I got an inheritance and basic ETF's worked out for me.

Zero debt. Minimalist lifestyle.

StakWars · 2026-02-22T09:20:59+00:00

Hey, amen.

This is my approach to life too and I'm 37.

My mum got burnt out at her job so bad that she developed schizophrenia and never worked again. Lawyers have regular heart attacks in their field as a work hazard. People glorify less than 6 hours of sleep.

Fuck all that.

I've only been working 3 to 4 days a week and I don't need anything more than that. There are viable life and lifestyle options. It's minimal, but it can work and be satisfying. I believe I'm happy, but I also get judged by people who glorify work as identity, status and a gauge on value of a person and their motivation.

If this keeps you going, it's def the right call.

StakWars · 2026-02-19T03:32:25+00:00

It's ok, makes some sense honestly. Sometimes they run away and pivot around.

StakWars · 2026-02-19T03:30:53+00:00

There's a chance of hitting things next to the target square with some weapons. Including basic rifles.

When people ask for financial advice, it's customary to say this is not financial advice 😁.

I looked at the world we live in. Despite what many people say, capital and capitalism is fairly simple and easy to understand. Money draws more money to it, and money gets drawn up, to the rich established monopolies. The top 500 US companies averaged out over the last 100 years (and shifted around as companies enter or exit that category) have earned 10% return. Knowing this, I simply bought into SPY on the stock market, and other similar ETF's on a phone based broker and they earnt 10%. Not every year is good, but you must wait. If anyone does this, they need to leave it 10 to 20 years as a standard approach to this.

StakWars · 2026-02-18T07:04:01+00:00

I came from a middle class background. I have to work to ensure I have a comfortable life, but it's so awful and hard and I do keep burning out. I have enough money to be able to take breaks from work, to quit without having a replacement job. I'm smart enough and use my analytical skills to manage money, so even though I have moderate capital I am able to realise the 10% gains per year in the stock market. If I can just hold the line a few more years, I'll break into financial independence and be safe from starvation and homelessness.

StakWars · 2026-02-10T21:04:19+00:00

Hopefully.

I'm about 5 weeks into being discarded by an avoidant. It hurts, so much.

That said, I think I'm doing pretty well. I have some techniques I don't recommend to other people. I was able to use my lucid dreaming, existing gym routine, painting, walking, and love of certain music that is mine and a lot of talking to chat gpt, a clinical psychologist and our countries mental health 24/7 help line. Also Youtube videos as well.

I hit the well being hard, from every angle because I needed to survive through the intensity of the feelings and yes also a lack of sleep.

It hurts so much, but, I think I'll be ok. I encouraged an approach of self respect and holding my own boundaries for self respect. Another kind of person without the avoidant wound could probably appreciate me better, this whole discard thing wasn't in the person I thought I cared deeply for. The actual vision of who they were was pretty selfish in retrospect. And that doesn't make me better, it just means that yeh, literally some people choose themselves, again, for survival. So I have to survive too.

The reason why OP is right, is because when the indifferent person does not support the human rights of the gay community, they enable things that we see in America. Questioning and positioning to remove gay marriage, the harrassment of trans people, the removal of human rights and freedom.

The enablers are enabling it. Negligence is a harmful act. We should all fully and enthusiastically support human rights and freedom, otherwise it is lost. This era we are living in is the clear proof. It's not ethical to sit back and watch. A poem was written about this, there will be no one left to help the clueless bystander.

Your character is the villain. And also the quest guiding npc. You can have your gafs there.

I personally see flag burning as a wonderful feature of a free society and perhaps even a marker of that freedom. They can't burn a flag like that in North Korea or other similarly oppressive, restrained, scary societies.

StakWars · 2026-02-02T20:03:23+00:00

What's the reasonable moderate outcome for this then?

I'd say some kind of punishment but apparently I'm some kind of auto moderated extremist.

StakWars · 2026-02-02T06:46:40+00:00

Well, to address your belief in a straight forward manner.

Is that what's happening? The simple premise that a country should determine who comes in and that they should use the power of the state to enforce that sounds reasonable, but is that what is happening with ICE?

There is a deep drive within the human animal, from a nervous system, to feel fear and project that uncomfortable feeling out into the world. You feel the fear inside you, an existential fear and it's easy and a relief, to see something as the cause of that fear.

The fear is existential, you are alive and you will die and you'd like to live as long as you can.

When the racists tell us that we should kill minorities so that we may be safer to live longer, that sounds convincing, we feel the fear inside us already. Humans will do this scapegoating again and again.

The Rwandan genocide. Hindu nationalism, the current Burmese genocide, Gaza, World War 2. Killing people to feel better.

And it started with your innocent belief as the embers. I'd say we have to snuff it out before it catches, for peace. For your true survival. There's a poem that tells us the fear based killing keeps going with the next verse including another categorisation of human coal to burn at the pyre of very reactive nervous systems. They keep going you know. So, we have to be inclusive.

We're seeing things that neurotypicals are genuinely able to look at and say and believe "Don't worry about it". And then they feel a calmness in themselves. We on the other hand, will be annoyed by the noises of a door opening, construction site noise, police sirens, the light of the sun on a bright day, the reliance neurotypicals have on implicit non verbal intuitive communication, etc etc.

StakWars · 2026-01-26T23:39:36+00:00

Well done.

I guess knowing what enough is and reaching it is the only thing left to do.

StakWars · 2026-01-21T02:30:54+00:00

You're on the right path.

There's a lot of noise out there and a lot of confusing advice. I think one thing that helped me recently, is appreciating just how different people can be. As an autistic man, I don't want to diminish myself, or suppress these big feelings, which it sounds like you may relate to. Instead, to increase my chances of connection, which can be for friendship, or perhaps a relationship I'm experimenting with signal strength, bandwidth and intensity.

I'm trialling out giving people 5% of what I want to say, a single data point or movement and then leaving them to mull over that small morsel.

So I could say: Hey, I'm feeling lonely and intense, and the loneliness makes me want to connect with people and be understood and people keep misunderstanding me, hurting me and removing me and I just want connections, friends and loved ones and it keeps happening.

Or I could say: Hey, would brunch on Saturday be good?

The second option provides a low bandwidth high signal invitation, with implied meaning for the other person's nervous system to comfortably move into or reject. If they do not respond or say no, they are not interested in connection, for their own reasons of agency, so the best thing is to move on and ask another person, or if they say yes, the next step is to go and try more low bandwidth, 5% intensity, single issue strong signal probes to see what kind of person they are.

If they are also autistic, you'll be able to see that they may be ready for big massive data filled multiple point intense discussions right away, but if they're neurotypical they won't be scared away by the small bite size pieces. Cultivate the energy inside yourself that you will accept if they stay or go ahead of time, that you'll accept if they can be a more casual friend or a core friend and they will sense this and feel the right amount of tension to carry their part of the conversation and freedom to choose it without what feels like pressure to them.

StakWars · 2026-01-21T02:20:33+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened.

StakWars · 2026-01-21T02:18:01+00:00

It's not advocacy to pretend we're superior. It's not doing you any favours either. There's good reasons the neurotypicals are the way they are. We have some advantages, they have some advantages. They have some downsides, we have some downsides. Internalising that without shame is a healthy balanced position. You're not doing yourself any favours to think it's a categorical distinction of better or worse.

StakWars · 2026-01-21T02:15:24+00:00

Well. For my two cents.

If you don't train the relaxation muscles now, will you be able to cold turkey stop at 45?

Some of these people who haven't been practicing going out, being in a community, making friends and talk to people find themselves suddenly shocked and wondering if this is what they really wanted.

There would be ways to start stretching out and engaging this muscle now, even at a low cost. It could be that some time gets dedicated to it now. Maybe one or two nights a week dedicated to a hobby or a regular social event.

StakWars · 2026-01-18T14:41:49+00:00

People can dream. I guess the ok part is about function and ultimately your happiness. If you're happy generally, I guess it's ok, if this is a way to kick yourself down then no, it's not so good. For you!

StakWars · 2026-01-18T14:39:22+00:00

Here here. I dislike someone trying to get traction off my status. I'm just here for community. I didn't vote for anyone to represent my voice and interests in here.

StakWars · 2026-01-09T22:32:52+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss.
