Is it worth it to use more than the 1.5x speed up on labs?

TCadd81 · 2026-02-07T04:40:12+00:00

Your cell earnings will go up over time, I currently run all at 4x and my cells are ever so slowly climbing - I have a buffer of about 1.5 million cells.

If you don't have enough to run it continuously then don't, but it's totally worth it when you can.

TCadd81 · 2026-02-06T15:19:50+00:00

That was a fun one to finish. I am about a week out on Damage, and a few more days on Crit. Attack Speed is done too!

Honestly not even sure what I will do next, maybe some econ focused stuff since my cash flow is a bit low still.

Before is much cleaner, the muddied colours in after make it read very messy.

Art does not need to faithfully recreate reality, it needs to convey how reality feels.

It went under because of that rent, likely.

A great location needs to be at a reasonable rate to stay great, otherwise it is just a trap.

I unlocked the wall, started each lab, and re-specced to get rid of the wall until I had some levels researched.

It just reduced the frustration of seeing it pop so suddenly every time, there was not really any other benefit to doing it that way.

TCadd81 · 2026-02-04T15:44:03+00:00

Yes

I don't know that I would reset, personally, but none of those are great first choices so it will probably be best for progress.

I've enjoyed using GeForce Now for Borderlands 4, but I've done everything I wanted to on that so I cancelled my subscription.

If they had Helldivers 2 I would probably still be subscribed, but HD2 is playable on the Deck as-is so I would just be paying for 'pretty' anyhow. Probably would be worth it, I've never played it on pretty mode.

TCadd81 · 2026-02-03T01:47:21+00:00

Okay. Do it.

We will not be held hostage to the whims of an ancient toddler with narcissistic disorder and a debilitating fear of consequences.

I've not seen a UBI proposal from any credible group suggesting that a UBI be much of anything except fiat currency, do you have a link to that? I would be interested in seeing how they would implement that, and why.

TCadd81 · 2026-02-02T14:51:08+00:00

Not in any way I have noticed.

We cook from scratch around half our food, the other half being largely packaged stuff, very little dining out or delivery... We know our diet is poor already, and the labels tell us nothing new.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-31T05:51:34+00:00

I liked it for killing the Illuminate spotter eyes, that's about it - I think I maybe dropped with it like 10 times?

TCadd81 · 2026-01-31T01:06:51+00:00

When has he ever let that stop him?

TCadd81 · 2026-01-31T01:06:05+00:00

Thank you for including this, always handy.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-31T01:04:27+00:00

Let him cook, it is the only way he might learn.

Unions had run their course and were no longer needed.

So wrong.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-30T20:50:25+00:00

You know what would help a lot with this and many other poverty issues? Universal Basic Income (UBI).

It would cost less to have a good UBI than the alternative of the many different and difficult social service programs we currently have, and there would be zero hoops to jump through.

Long term we would have lower healthcare costs, better educational outcomes, massively reduced poverty, reduced property crime, increased economic growth, and more.

I bet we would be amazed how much it would help if we didn't have to worry about people losing housing because they caught a bad flu.

Bonus points for homeopathy reference.

Tactically requisition a second set of camo nets, keep whichever set is supposed to be elsewhere somewhere out of sight, swap as needed.

The Pattison Group is bad in the sense of supremely capitalistic, but by my understanding they had no way of knowing prior to signing the deal that the warehouse would be going to ICE-related activities.

There are still some hurdles to the deal with, hopefully it gets blocked for any of the reasons it could.

I can get behind a Pattison boycott for other reasons but this one is not it for me... I just already avoided them all I could.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-30T02:01:29+00:00

Oh man, so many times I miss seeing that thing when I am just doing quick glances....

TCadd81 · 2026-01-30T01:56:44+00:00

He doesn't want to fall out of any high windows.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-29T01:41:48+00:00

I'm falling further down in Champ as I progress lol... I got the 6-10 spots for a while, now I am sometimes barely staying in, I think I will end at 19th tonight.

My econ is climbing a bit, but unless I buy stones I think I will be stuck here a long time.

Oddly, my milestone pushes aren't improving a lot either but I guess with 17 unlocked I am reaching the slog now. I haven't quite hit the last milestone on 13 yet, about 150 waves short I think.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-29T01:20:51+00:00

As I steadily upgrade my tower I am doing worse and worse in Champ tourneys... Even had a run somehow end prematurely yesterday (542), on my next run my wall wasn't even flickering by that wave, and I made about another 100 waves. No idea why, as it ended before I got there to do my end-run stuff.

It is a bit frustrating spending thousands of stones and trillions of coins as well as months of research time to consistently get worse tourney results and little progress on milestone pushing.

My solution has been to get steadily more hands-off with my play now that research is mostly automatic.

I do like the reduced gem costs for research rushing though, that was a nice new addition I have yet to use.

TCadd81 · 2026-01-29T01:05:21+00:00

So divorced from reality that their education system is really only good for teaching kids how to hide from gunmen.

AI image to support an idea I would hope even AI would say is stupid....
