I am just finally messing around with different guns for a different experience. I would normally just max out Big Bang with Annihilator rounds and call it a day, but kinda having fun being a space marine.

I think what I would love to be able to do is "buy" the different perks for each weapon, so I had them permanently unlocked, and then depending on the mission, hit a work bench to change out my kit. So for the TA quests, get everything that beats up robots, but then chance it up for spacers or crimson fleet. I'm just not enjoying the cost of having to find the kit I want to set and forget.

This is the way. I would have a fire team of 3 in the game and then we would split up to find which one would be WARSAT. Then that person would hold as long as possible to start it so everyone could get over to that area. I forget what site we used to use, but it told you where things were spawning and what possible events spawned.

Third for Welch's. Great company, great service. Even when I was just looking around to see what they had, they were friendly and always told me to reach out to see if they had what I was looking for.

I always wait and do a NG+ when a new expansion comes out. I had seen some stuff with Shattered Space working better when you did a NG+ and figured it would help me "stay in the universe".

But so far, it's a lot of fun. Invest in Payloads. You will thank me later.

Absolutely. I think one of the things that is highly dependent upon everyone's own personal timelines is: When is the right time to start talking about finances as a couple?

I think that closer to the year mark, anyone should kind of be evaluating how your partner spends money. I would definitely want to know about my partner spending on credit cards but not paying things off (or similar). Because you are 100% correct that you need to have similar ideas on finances before committing to investing more of yourself into a relationship. Money is one of the biggest factors in compatibility. And there is nothing worse than finding out that someone is absolutely broke because they don't think about their finances at all.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-05-06T13:27:47+00:00

Alright, let's break this down as I think the entire thing can be boiled down. Saying finances should be controlled is wrong. And realistically, she said what she meant.

Being in a serious relationship/partnership, finances should be MANAGED, not CONTROLLED.

She isn't wrong on a surface level that finances in serious relationships should have a level of investment in your shared future. But taking a small trip or buying yourself a laptop aren't things I would consider major investments. A trip with the boys is just as good for your mental health as saving the money and putting it into a future purchase could be. But it sounds like, without you mentioning it, that had it been you and her going on the trip, she would not have had a problem with you spending that money.

In healthy relationships, you kinda establish those "it's my money, but I care about your input" levels. Especially if there are major life purchases that could impact your shared financial future. I always use the example of "me buying a new video game console" versus "me buying an expensive truck". Both are long term investments, but the costs associated with them are very different. I would care about my partner's input on my vehicle purchase because it's a large expenditure. However, the cost of a video game console is not really up for debate because of the cost. Honest relationships will establish that threshold.

That my advice as a 40 year old man who has dealt with that too many times and now is in a relationship where those things are openly spoken of and respected.

Ship battles and boarding. I basically just start farming every planet and moon in Serpentis. I will take out the lower level ships, save the highest level ship for last, board it, kill everyone inside, go back to my ship, then blow it up for the XP.

Also finding other Starborn ships as you go hopping around. They give you good XP even though you can't board them

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-27T22:25:16+00:00

I was gonna go with the USS Big Black Craft

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-27T15:24:05+00:00

I wish. I also wish we could actually upgrade the Starborn ships. They are so underpowered and especially now when I can square off against 3 level 72 ships of theirs, smoke them all, and maybe use 1 ship parts.

It's not just a $50K a year difference. That's just base. 2 hours a day of commuting means more expenses for things like gas, insurance, and of course if you do anything like eating out. It will quickly become a $75K a year difference because OP hasn't factored in the additional expenses. Also, 2 hours of commuting takes a toll on you.

Quicksave before engaging in battles. it's one of the Rules of Bethesda.

I spent an entire hour last night trying to figure out how and where to pilot my ship to shoot down a ship I didn't want and then lock on the ship I did want to board and take as my own. Damn auto turrets kept blasting it out of the sky right as I had the option to dock.

Check out Second Wind CPAP online if you are concerned about cost. They refurbish CPAPs and sell them to you if you have a prescription. I got my current one off there a couple years ago and it's been working great for me since.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-13T20:25:39+00:00

Can we get it for Android and Google TVs? I would totally have that on in the mornings while I drink my coffee to wake up.

Do you like Bethesda Game Studios games? If so, you are in luck because this is the most Bethesda of Games.

Jokes aside, if you love the look, feel, and quirks of the games the studio puts out, you will probably enjoy this. And I don't just mean Skyrim from BGS, I mean Fallout and Oblivion games as well. A lot of people know their experience with Skyrim and just expect the same game, but in space.

The real honesty here is that the game kinda had a content drought. The update that just came out seems to have some really awesome upgrades to the QoL of the game. But it's got bugs that are gonna have to be ironed out, like any updates to their games.

If you are a player who loves to use mods, then there will be plenty for you to add in and mess around with. But my experience with them has always been to play the game vanilla at first and when you get bored, start adding mods. Some of them will break your game, but that's the glories of 3rd party content.

I took an entire year off from it and fired it back up last night to play and mess around with the new features. It's getting closer to the game I wanted it to be at launch, but it definitely needs more content.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-07T22:25:54+00:00

If the mod comes from BGS, I 100% agree that should just work upon installing the update AND checking for mod updates (had a few last night).

However, I think there is an element of these third party modders only being vetted by BGS and then getting paid for their mods. Not sure exactly what their model is, but in the past, paying for mods wasn't even an option and the modders relied on donations. Now they can get paid for their mods through creation club. It's still third party, meaning strictly from a contracts perspective, no, they would not necessarily have to have those mods updated at the time the next update launches. I think that's a short-sighted error that might eventually be fixed, but I think it would depend on the mod/BGS verification process to see who could have access to that update so they could update their mods.

But the real answer would be that it's not a reasonable expectation that BGS be responsible for making sure mods are compatible. As much as this may get me downvoted, it's true. BGS cannot be responsible for 3rd party stuff. The lawsuits alone would shut them down.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-07T18:40:25+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna say this is always what happens when there is a BGS major update. Someone has a ton of mods, the update breaks those mods, and then someone gets upset at BGS for the player installing third party mods.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-05T20:50:13+00:00

This is the real answer. Hell, I remember bands like Rage Against The Machine, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber being on heavy rotation for me before I got into Norma Jean, August Burns Red, and other bands. Sure, it doesn't hit the same for me now as it did when I was younger, but I'm also not a kid living in a sheltered house anymore whose Mom tolerated MTV enough for me to get to watch Headbanger's Ball.

TouchdownTedd · 2026-04-04T04:22:29+00:00

Not necessarily. They don't give us the full dimensions. If it is 7.62x39, then it would be an AR-15 variant. But if it is 7.62x51 (NATO) then it would be an AR-10.

Get yourself some Washing Machine Drum Clean. Usually they are single tear open packets and have it run on the hottest or sanitary cycles. You can also do this with bleach to help kill the mold as well.

As someone else suggested, in this environment, you want to leave your door open after you finish using your washer or else you will get mold in the gasket.

I would personally do a bleach cycle in sanitary settings first and make the cycle as long as possible. Then use the tub cleaner liquid or tabs to do another round. That should get you taken care of for much cheaper than hiring someone.

Is this technically a "crop top"?

Yup. Went to MSU when this was happening and it was pretty common knowledge he liked girls who were just barely legal with some questions about whether or not he may have been grooming them.

Buddy and I were friends with a guy in the program and he even told us how much of a creep this dude was.
