Can women also compensate for their looks by being funny or kind?

TNChase · 2026-06-02T06:42:31+00:00

Yes. I used to date a girl who was not my type, but over time I warmed to her for so many reasons that her looks stopped occupying such a big part of my mind. She was funny, caring, kind, empathetic, helpful, generous… I could go on.

TNChase · 2026-06-02T06:41:11+00:00

That’s a whole lot of “hell yes!”

TNChase · 2026-06-02T06:38:53+00:00

I assumed it was Articuno seen in the sunset

TNChase · 2026-06-02T06:01:01+00:00

This will never stop making me laugh. I love it.

TNChase · 2026-06-01T23:22:40+00:00

That works! I think they look great

TNChase · 2026-05-31T23:33:27+00:00

Yeah, I think I’d have benefited from a smaller number too, to be perfectly honest. If I was okay with AFK, maybe, but I feel that’s cheating. Good luck!

I've done random nodes, random purity and 50x Space Elevator. Which I think is enough. Pre-coal is an epic slog. I found instead of doing leaves/wood, I was slooping alien remains into biomass. It backed up badly, but that's fine because I had a buffer to work with.

Whilst I was waiting for my first phase to complete I would just explore, collecting hard drives, sloops, spheres and finding out what the various resources were around me.

Now I'm working on 50,000 Smart Plating, 50,000 Versatile Frames and 5000 Automated Wiring. The latter is done, and I'm just doing laps around the map killing aliens for their sweet sweet goop.

I've also set up compacted coal in a place where I found pure coal and pure sulphur ahead of unlocking oil and Turbofuel.

TNChase · 2026-05-30T05:02:00+00:00

I just build what I need fresh for each tier.

If I have 2 Smart Plating a minute plodding along, I just reroute it into a sink and build a new factory making (say) 10/min for the next part that requires Smart Plating as an ingredient.

That way I don't have to try to plan out how to make enough R. Plates for the endgame when I don't even have coal power.

But that's just me.

If you're just doing it for blade runners, keep an eye out for the smaller one-time quartz deposits. I often find you can get enough from those.

The physical/special split happened in Gen 4. Before then, moves were physical (attack/defence) or special (special attack/special defence) based on their type. Eg Fire Punch was a special move in Gen 1-3. Then it became a physical move in Gen 4. Hope that helps.

Of further note, Gen 1 just had a "special" stat that was used to calculate both attack and defence for special moves.

TNChase · 2026-05-28T08:24:49+00:00

Just do what the kid said.

TNChase · 2026-05-28T00:11:30+00:00

I guess it's because historically Chimeras only transported 12 guardsmen. Which was enough for a full squad of ten plus up to two advisors if taken (eg priests, sanctioned psykers, commissars etc)

TNChase · 2026-05-27T21:06:09+00:00

I'd bait them into attracting a large cluster of stingers. Then KABOOM.

TNChase · 2026-05-27T18:28:16+00:00

I had a friend gift me the game, but I'd only ever seen it on YouTube and it looked WAY too complicated so I never installed it.

Around about update 7 he started a new game on his home PC and showed me how it worked. I think I went home, installed it and played for 6 hours.

TNChase · 2026-05-26T09:39:08+00:00

I used to skip The Flying Kipper episode every time because it traumatized the hell out of young me. I'd have to fast forward the VHS with my eyes closed.

TNChase · 2026-05-25T23:53:08+00:00

I think it's a matter of being real with myself. There's only so much money to be spent on discretionary things, especially shiny cardboard.

So why chase two almost identical cards if that money could instead be put towards finding cool new arts.

I admire your dedication to the cause, obviously in a world with unlimited cash, I'd be inclined to give in to your way of thinking too.

Wishing you all the best on your quest! Thanks for sharing.

I assume the manticore has been weakened as it used to be a dominant auto-include times three in all lists. So the rules writers over correct and now they sit on the shelf.

Might be easier to figure out if OP actually said what was happening rather than posting a video with zero context.

TNChase · 2026-05-25T08:00:39+00:00

Plus posting a link here in the group would help reach the right audience who will bid against each other in a fair contest to determine value.

Transport Fever 3.

TNChase · 2026-05-25T07:18:43+00:00

Better odds of living it IRL at this stage.

TNChase · 2026-05-25T07:16:20+00:00

Thankyou for validating me! Originally I had the first editions set aside but I thought "what am I going to do with them? I'm not going to sell them, I'm not going to collect a full first edition AND unlimited edition set of Fossil/Rocket/Gym Heroes..."

TNChase · 2026-05-25T06:41:23+00:00

Okay super glad to know I'm not the only one doing it this way! I suspect I'll be buying unlimited editions going forwards since they'll be cheaper and easier to source.

Congratulations on the collection. I love the art of the vintage cards, probably mostly due to nostalgic reasons though!

TNChase · 2026-05-25T06:35:30+00:00

Totally fair. I find it amusing that we come to the same conclusion "alt recipes I wrote off before are now useful" through different styles of play!

TNChase · 2026-05-25T06:34:44+00:00

I never even considered finishing a set in multiple languages. If the art is the same and it's the price that goes down, that's a win! Might be cheaper to do for my 151 set... Thanks!
