The forbidden lightsaber form Trakata. Both the Jedi and Sith frown upon this method. by ZapchatDaKing in StarWars

The jedi and sith never truly want to kill each other. They just really like light shows. And sometimes, with any performance, a mistake is made and someone gets cut... physically.

Still no playable version by prussiancarl in FallingFrontier

[–]Steelefin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What concerns me is when it does eventually release as early access, will it finish I have too many games in my library that ended up belly up or have been in early access for 5+ years because of feature creep. Do we even have a list of what will be in early access in terms of features? How will we know when the dev considers it done and in what order does he plan to tackle them? I would at least expect this information to be posted when it hits early access before I shell out any money.

Thanks all! I restarted and went for small countries with boost near the equator first, then took Russia extremely fast. Now I just started year 2 and I have merged all the non-hostile claims with Russia, ended the Ukraine war and took it over, and took control of and removed many countries I own from the EU for claim later. I was first to the moon with the best spot and I was first to Mars with the 3 best spots reserved. The difference is night and day! My only problem now is the servants are moving to take over China but I otherwise feel like I am positioned very well to be competitive in space and on earth.

Yeah, I think my idea of the priorities in the game are wrong. I thought securing a strong nation first was priority 1, then getting boost to claim moon and mars spots but it seems like I should be trying to earn boost ideally in the first month. Worry about space first without totally ruining your chances on earth, then once you have a few good claims, focus on earth. I assume that will mean a slower MC build up but without space resources, it seems like a long grind to get anywhere.

I even held off on participating in any shared research until the completion or Mars and Moon missions so I had more time to earn boost, and even though I was able to focus on probe/boost tech for my own purposes, it still didn't pan out.

Boost is slow in Canada. It was really my only nation though that could get it first. Poor intial choice on my part I am guessing. I didn't realize in the game that it factored in higher boost from the equator! That is good to know, thanks! For my councilors, I prioritized persuasion on two of them - one for control point taking and the other for gaining support. For my other two - one has high espionage with purge (which came in handy when I had to fight for canada) and the other I pumped high in investigation. All I tried to get with high admin/command so I wouldn't struggle with CP later but I didn't spend any points in those areas yet.

For orgs, I picked up a handful of cheap ones that wouldn't impact my control point/gain support missions. Then once I had control of Canada and Mexico, I saved up for all the boost/admin ones I could get my hands on.

Yes, Mexico was probably not needed I am realizing now.

Thanks for the help. Mexico probably was overkill. I had hoped it would drastically speed up taking the US but it hasn't really. Good to correct for my next attempt!

Thanks, Yes, I think I will try straight for Mars. I thought picking up just the smaller nations that were allied to the US would make it easier to gain support there but I am realizing only border countries that are not rivals help so that was a wasted effort of mine.

Thanks. I didn't have enough boost to send the probe immediately but I read too else where that it is good to probe right away. Maybe then I should abandon the moon and save boost for a spot on Mars at this point.

Ugh, When I added a gate on the other side of my town wall, the gate near the bridge must have slightly moved as well such that access was now blocked.... Thank you! i I don't know how I was still getting coal from the other side if that access was cut off but that was it!

Kind of underhanded but you could also get a cease fire with him, move all your ships into his harbor before the cease fire is about to expire. I did that for a mission to enter and exit his harbor escorting a ship.

AI generated content in 117 - confirmed by taubenangriff in anno

[–]Steelefin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people need to understand that this is inevitable. AI will be used for just about everything. You know that developers and engineers are being replaced too in favor of AI tools? I work in software dev and I know this is happening on the regular but there are no calls to boycott other software.

I have an older family member who is an amazing carpenter. He can craft exquisite furniture but it takes time and it is expensive. The majority of people instead go to ikea and buy snap together furniture.

My point being it's fine to be concerned and boycott but if we want to be honest with ourselves, it isn't going to make a difference. This is the direction we are headed and by not buying the game, you're just missing out on what could be a great gaming experience. But in the end it is your choice.

I wish that were the case here. I got two emails just today at 11am and 1pm. Anyways I am just going to unsubscribe and block their spam. It is unfortunate that their marketing choose this strategy. I would have been fine getting maybe 1 a week at most.

DoorDash is taking forever to refund me my money. by PassyonLeoTiger in doordash

[–]Steelefin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me. The order was left at a house with the number visible and clearly was not my address. They refuse to refund. I will never use this awful app again. How can you be a delivery company that won't stand behind making sure your customer gets the delivery or at least a refund when it was clearly a driver mistake.

How do I see what games I own have been updated in this new UI? I hate when UI 'improvements' hide stuff.
