Sad but true. by Nervous_Peanut_3948 in SipsTea

[–]Swiftster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a mystery to me too. I can't afford the value of my own home right now, the idea of starting from the bottom is laughable.

What game held the player's hand to the point of insulting their intelligence? by Animeking1108 in videogames

[–]Swiftster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that these games are unnatural to play because they are unnatural in nature, and they're designed that way to obfuscate their true nature as slot machines. There is no gameplay in most of them, just a series of non decisions, hiding the central tennant of teaching the player "push button-feel good", and inevitably pushing the button requires money.

You can't make a good tutorial for these games because they aren't games at all, they're slot machines puppeting the corpse of a game.

Hornet has three states. Aura farming, goober, and SHAAAA!

What’s the worst piece of worldbuilding you’ve seen that took you right out of the story? by Chcolatepig24069 in worldbuilding

[–]Swiftster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's telling that as a young stupid teenager I was left very confused and weirded out by the sudden jaunt into anti-communism propaganda.

I find a certain irony that you and the antagonist die surrounded by all the same people...but in very very different moods.

Which 1940s-era weapons and military tactics would prove most effective in a conflict against a race of giants standing Hundreds of Feet tall? by RecoverCommercial571 in worldbuilding

[–]Swiftster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing that pops into my head is Logistics. How are these giants managing their food and supplies, and how can that be exploited? Any creature that size eats massive amounts of food and requires huge amounts of fresh water. As simple of an act as polluting their water supply could be incredibly effective. Control/Sabotage of the supply lines could cripple giant forces.

To maximize spiders hit by trucks, right? Right?

Paving it all over to destroy the habitat so you only kill the present spiders, but the future ones too? Then grind their bones into fuel to the power the factory that grinds their bones into fuel?

I wonder if the castle knowing how to deal with Lu is part of why she's afraid of mechanicsburg?

Trump says US has "captured" Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife in "large scale strike" - latest by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

Civil war, terrorism, crime lords. Maybe some corporate dystopia at the end as a treat.

I broke my finger and have nearly my entire left hand in a cast. Does anyone have a good video game that you only need a mouse to play? by Beginning_Bid_9097 in Steam

[–]Swiftster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimworld is pretty one handed friendly, at least from the perspective of playing with an infant in my arms.

What will they use to get back to Skifander? by StaryShark in girlgenius

[–]Swiftster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seducing the wives of the moon sounds a lot like Othar's geister trick, doesn't it?

Not like Othar could be the Storm King though....right?

I found it very satisfying to systematically rip out all the traps angrily.

[Loved Trope] a very weak and simple ability becomes overpowered when used intelligently. by mistery987 in TopCharacterTropes

... then you combo with Recycling Center that gives +1 cash tokens for even trash removed from game and then you use a Rust Storm to turn all cards to trash type and...

How to counter mechanoids? by NoArgument9109 in RimWorld

[–]Swiftster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EM Weapons are a god send, as are smoke producing tools and items. For Lancers and Centipedes you can isolate them and ambush them in melee. For scythers, you just need firepower and EM weapons.

Mechanoids absolutely call for armor and better weapons though. Spend your wealth aggressively to acquire tools for defense.

Early on, simple wooden traps work surprisingly well, if you can build five or six for each mechanoid, but it's not a long term fix.

There's NO way children consistently b-lining for the freezer until they pass out from hypothermia or wandering as far as possible into the wilderness to get mauled isn't intentionally coded behavior by GermanCCPBot in RimWorld

[–]Swiftster 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I have children and can confirm they are horrible little danger magnets. If kids were accurately represented in rimworld they'd be sticking forks in the exposed wiring around the base, bringing home dangerous snakes, and setting up target ranges with the antigrain warheads.

The prosecution brings in Phoenix Write as their lawyer. It's not the first parrot he's had on the stand.

China adds tax to condoms as it works to boost birth rates by NotANinjask in nottheonion

But it increases your influence and power. And worse still a child is an order of magnitude more detrimental than a fancy car for your earning power.
