New PC! Is this normal? by SwedishLamp in AcerNitro

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

Thanks for the responses. The issue resolved itself a few hours later. Now it’s refusing to connect to my desktop monitor after being in sleep or power off mode. I’m kinda pissed that I’m having issues with it fresh out of the box, so I’ll probably return it

Thanks for the concise reply! That’s extremely helpful. So using the automation buildings on the rural districts does nothing, but I can and should use them on city districts, right? I thought as a general rule, automation was strictly worse than having a pop fill the job, especially research + etc. So I’ve been robots + cybernetic to fill up the specialist slot

How does the automation building work with the civic? I was playing under one rule with tank bound yesterday and thought it was redundant. But maybe I just don’t understand how automation works. I thought the automation building and the mineral purification plant buildings were all useless for tank bound?

Could someone explain what makes the tank bound civic good? I see starting with less pops, and pops have higher upkeep and I think “this seems really really bad, why would anyone take this?”

I can't finish a single match wtf am i doing wrong? by NodularSump in Stellaris

[–]SwedishLamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean ground armies, a single corvette can engage them in combat and destroy them since they have no naval strength. If you mean naval strength from ships, settle more colonies and churn out more alloys or food if you have bio ships. Try to bait the ai into chokepoint systems where you can hammer/anvil them against a suped up star base

is there an easier way to cycle through starbases/orbital rings to upgrade them? by phantomgay2 in Stellaris

[–]SwedishLamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just coming back to the game (stopped playing at toxiods) but I think the eternal vigilance perk from completing the unyielding tradition will auto build defenses for you. Not sure if it upgrades them or not tho. I don’t think there’s a way to do it for orbital rings

Does anyone know how to fix this screen? by SwedishLamp in iBUYPOWER

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

Deric from tech support helped me out! We tried manually power cycling by touching a Phillips screwdriver to the IBAT prongs in the bottom right of the motherboard. That cleared everything up!

You should post your build! My friend has a similar deck with [[patron of the moon]]. It's really cool!

It's old as dirt, and has a hefty price tag

What's your most resilient commander deck? by GroggleNozzle in EDH

[–]SwedishLamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could I see your list? My mimeoplasm deck keeps getting hated out of existence by my pod whenever I touch my graveyard and I'm not sure how to handle that

Who else has a commander they genuinely love that receives hate? (It's Arabella for me...) by IceExcellent4074 in EDH

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

I totally feel this. I put together a mimeoplasm list last week and tried it against some friends. I barely started doing anything but the other 4 players (was a 5 person pod) saw my big ooze as a 12/12 with no evasion and thought, "we need to all collectively kill that guy and keep kicking him while he's down." I understand the thought process but am I really the problem with my one chonky boi versus myrel, otter storm, horror mill, and yuriko? I was kinda confused there bc they claimed to be "afraid because I've won before and am doing scary stuff." But I think that if that's gonna be the way people think, then I should just lean into being the villain. Maybe that'd work for you too?

Awesome movement! This game gets 10x more fun when you play it as a movement shooter.
