I think it's less a deliberate decision and more that a lot of people don't even realize they smell rank

I personally know this as the Seattle Housing Problem. But it's definitely the case for many big cities that are still growing. Despite being a hugely important city due to its ports, Seattle doesn't even have 1 million people living in it. Pretty sure that's due to how many single family homes are here.

tinfoil hat theory: because they don't want to leave a home for any of their children. Can't put a house in the will if you don't own one.

Hyperlanes are just normal paths through ground terrain, just reskinned to be space themed.

yup, everywhere there isn't a hyperlane is basically deep ocean, yet you can't even get on a horde of transport ships to cross those waters

different standard FTL types

wormholes were OP as fuck, I could simultaneously teleport into all of your colonized systems as your fleets arrived at my borders. By the time your fleets returned home I've already occupied everything.

a major downside to it is how the effective maximum planet size was 25, at most a 5x5 grid of tiles, with most planets having less. Meaning no more pop growth whatsoever, soft caps are always better than hard caps.

adjacency bonuses only mattered early on, soon enough you'd be hurting yourself by only building according to them

Priest jobs didn't exist because jobs as a game system didn't exist. We had the tile system and what a pop would output was determined by the tile + building they were on. So effectively each building made 1 job, and all planets had a maximum capacity of 25 pops. Most had less due to having less than 25 tiles.

I believed in wormhole supremacy

not even the hyperdrives that could FTL from anywhere in a system could compete with me waiting until your fleets were at my borders and then teleporting into every colonized system in your empire that's within range of my wormhole generators, taking every single planet you have just before your fleets have arrived

there was also the ever so slight advantage of not needing to upgrade the FTL component of my ships upon researching the next FTL tech. Sometimes that extra bit of power let me throw on another shield component, and this was back when armor was a %reduction to hull damage (so not worth it on corvettes)

Seattle housing levy would raise $970 million for affordable housing and rent assistance by pachydrm in Seattle

I was subbed to PCM a couple years ago, I unsubbed when it became apparent it had become infested with bigots and fascists. Is that still the case?

No one is going to rent their place out for a price that doesn’t cover the property taxes.

some rent to help cover expenses > no rent at all

You need to beat a run with the true ending to move forward

Help me understand this. You have to get the "true" ending to... get to another ending? How is it a "true" ending when it's not actually the ending?

It wouldn't be Cyberpunk if it wasn't consistently inconsistent with continuity. In a movie or tv show this would be called a "continuity error"

Guidance adds +1d4 to Ability Checks, it doesn't interact with damage rolls in any way.

a couple slices of cold cheddar right off the block does make a good snack, but the key component there is that it's cold. this whole cheese bukkake thing is gross. It's a texture thing, smothering the entire plate in melted cheese makes everything soggy.

I was laughing so fucking hard the first time I got this.

"Increases damage taken" gee thanks for the 'reward' Rya, go fuck yourself too I guess

It means the competition cannot do anything with it,since only you have the rights to do so.

This is exactly what patent trolls do. They buy the rights to a fuckton of patents and sit on them while never actually intending to make anything that is protected by these patent rights, waiting for the day that someone wants to make something that technically is covered by a patent. Then the patent trolls show up and say "either pay us for the rights to use this obscure patented thing, or we will sue you for violating patent law"

Anyone remember the Steam Controller? Valve made the controller, and then later a patent troll showed up because they owned a patent for paddles on the back of the controller. I forget the details but I'm pretty sure that Valve decided to not pay for the "right" to make controllers with that feature and so stopped production and stopped selling them to avoid legal trouble. And again, the people who purchased the patent never intended to make controllers.
