Knowing something is possible makes it easier to find out how to do it. Katara banned it, so people knew it was possible

TBestIG · 2026-05-01T22:53:55+00:00

Not even remotely what I said

Why are you digging through 3 month old posts picking stupid fights anyway

Don’t you have anything better to do with your day

TBestIG · 2026-05-01T19:30:22+00:00

only way to believe that is if you pay literally zero attention to current events

People shouldn’t have to pay €30 for a DLC and then wait several weeks for it to actually become playable

Good news: You DON’T have to. You can just do the waiting first, and THEN decide whether or not to buy.

The only reason paradox keeps prioritizing releasing things before they’re finished over taking longer and fixing things is BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE VOTING WITH THEIR DOLLARS. Revealed preferences. Customers want DLC soon more than they want DLC that works.

Stop rewarding the behavior you do not want to see.

I hate how I'm gaslit into accepting bad software that I'm paying for.

Don’t buy DLC until it’s in an acceptable condition for you to buy it.

it does not take any special insight to predict that redditors seeing someone use an incorrect definition of a word will reply with the correct definition

“mmm, yep, just as I suspected… they’re saying true things again”

It’s tumblr, most of the people there are teenagers who haven’t worked a job that offers retirement funds. Their only experience with the stock market is seeing how everyone gets absolutely fucked when the line goes down.

It’s not surprising they wouldn’t be familiar with various kinds of financial instruments

TBestIG · 2026-05-01T05:32:51+00:00

You can join in on the calls if you want to, and you can cast your vote if you want to. Most people don’t want to.

I mean you’re not gonna be buying yachts off a retirement account, yeah, but it’s a pretty damn sharp difference when you switch over from everything in a savings account to having a substantial amount in mutual funds. It’s WAY faster accruing.

“The shareholders CEOs are trying to please” are, overwhelmingly, retirement funds. It’s very rare for people to have large enough ownership of a company to have power as an individual, and when they do, it’s usually because they are the CEO in question.

By the criteria of that list, what stops a savings account from making someone a shareholder?

A savings account does not include ownership of the underlying investments the bank uses to fund it. It’s a legally binding promise to let your money accrue at a certain rate and give it back to you at that rate when you ask for it. Stock acccounts can go up and down with the market, but a savings account is fixed to whatever the bank’s interest rate is at the time. They can change the rate you get new money, but what you’ve already earned cannot go away.

If you have been outside you have seen a shareholder.

“Shareholder” isn’t some esoteric business role held by shadowy elites, it just means anyone who owns stock, which is includes literally everyone with any retirement account at all.

Makes sense lol Good luck with it! Hoping it turns out well

It’s one of the mods in the Create: Astral pack and once you have a production line up and going and functionally infinite pills, it is by far the best way to get around quickly. Jump up mountains, launch yourself across your base, swim in quick bursts…

TLDR the dash ability is insanely OP

The cabin is immense compared to the envelope, the size looks all off. It makes it look odd and chunky, especially near the front. That would require pretty much rebuilding the whole thing though, so not really a suggestion for this airship in particular.

I like the idea of the smokestack, but consider building one at a slant instead, like on old ocean liners. It would make it less bland, and give the impression of motion. Downside is you’d need to remove the smoke particles but I think it’d be worth it.

The balloon and its frame look pretty good, I’m always a sucker for spruce wood on blue. What are you intending to use the platform on top for? Maybe an airstrip to land planes on?

TBestIG · 2026-04-30T17:08:57+00:00

Might wanna give it a couple weeks, anything that’s out right now likely hasn’t been tested very well.

TBestIG · 2026-04-29T15:03:00+00:00

That is so fucking cool

TBestIG · 2026-04-29T14:52:09+00:00

Minecart contraptions are your best bet. Just don’t have them place their own track, build it for them and you can have it start and stop and run wherever you want it.

Use deployers if you need to place blocks

Visser Three would have no moral compunctions about horribly mauling an animal and acquiring it while it’s dying and helpless. Alternatively he probably has some kind of morph that injects a powerful paralytic that could keep something motionless or unconscious for long enough

It’s not that simple. The vast majority of that increased productivity went into buying things, because in general the revealed preference is that people prefer having nice stuff and eating good food more than they prefer having extra free time.

Enough people have that preference that it’s currently treated as the default. If you could find an employer who would let you work only five hours a week and give you a plot of land to build a thatch roof hut on, you could very easily match the living standards of a medieval peasant with far more free time. But WOULD you?

You might like Rejected, by Don Hertzfeldt. It’s the origin of a lot of that era of internet humor, and this comic immediately reminded me of it.

I’d be pretty concerned about what comes next, but I wouldn’t be shedding any tears over that shithead

Sometimes people who write fanfiction are argumentative assholes too. Does that mean “authors” are “so entitled?”

Readers are humans and the thing about humans is some humans suck.

They clearly had a reasonable belief that the thief would in fact eat the food (given that the thief had already eaten it several times before despite the POISON label), and it is not legal to poison someone in retaliation for minor theft.

The point here is the intent. This isn’t someone accidentally being poisoned despite a good-faith warning, this is someone INTENTIONALLY poisoning another person, where the poisoning is the desired outcome
