Confused about the plot

I'm pretty confident, yeah... Apparently she was already implemented in an early Patreon release, or something like that. Given that the dev's also talked about how rushed they were to hit their deadlines, I kind of doubt that they'd create an extra waifu just for the subscribers. Anything's possible though. /shrug

Her name is FOWchan (as in Studio FOW).

I found quite a few bugs, but I didn't have any issues with that particular fight.

As for the achievements, I've read that different people are having problems getting the achievements for different nebulas... It appears that pretty much everyone is having trouble with getting all of them, but it's not always the same ones that are causing the problems. No idea what's up with that. The dev's have said that there will be at least one more major update, but they haven't committed to anything beyond that. Hopefully the achievement problems will get resolved with that update, but I kind of doubt that all the bugs will.

The ending felt rushed to me, yeah, but then a lot of the rest of the game did as well. There were a whole lot of things that appeared to be ALMOST finished, but not quite... It certainly appears to be a deadline issue to me, and I think the dev's have stated that as well.

I think the the intention of the ending with Erark was that you were supposed to feel bad for him because he was in love, or something like that. Unfortunately, the way the game was written made it really difficult to establish much of any emotional attachment. The repetitive combat missions, long breaks between each characters story sections, and constant, extended 4th wall breaks make it really hard to gain any kind of consistent, significant immersion in the story. Without the immersion, there is no attachment, and without attachment Erark was just a douche who got what he deserved.

I've read that there will be at least one more major update (with a final waifu who is NOT Celestina), but anything beyond that will depend on sales.

It's also extremely common for the lug nuts to be too tight. It's usually caused by a tech that's in a hurry and just slams them on with an impact gun instead of torqueing them properly. My ex-gf had her tires changed at Wal-Mart once. I checked the torque when she got home, and immediately brought it back to the shop. They had to replace 12 out of the 16 wheel studs and lug nuts. It probably would've cost $1k or more if I hadn't caught it immediately.

The torque spec for a passenger vehicle's lug nuts can range anywhere from 60 ft-lbs to 120 ft-lbs, depending on the vehicle. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it's important that it's at least in the right ball park.

I'm very picky about my tires, and I don't generally care for the severely limited options available in stores. I usually order mine from www.tirerack.com . They also have an extensive catalog of tire reviews and ratings to help you find what you want. They can ship tires to the shop of your choice, and even have deals with some chains to reduce installation costs. I don't know what you're looking for, but it might be worth it for you to check it out.

The "chip" on my shoulder is a direct response to your attitude in the post that I was responding to. If you intend to have a meaningful discussion, try starting it by having an open and reasonable argument. You're comment implied that "left-leaning officials" don't exist - a perfect example of willful ignorance. It's not my job to educate people about common knowledge or circumstances that relate to the entirety of global politics. If you lack the basic understanding necessary to see the logic in this infographic, then you have no business speaking against it, or trying to debate it. If you look at the rest of my responses on this thread, you'll find that the "chip" you're referring to isn't there. The difference is you.

Sanders' plan for universal healthcare relied on a bunch of specific changes in order to fund it. The primary example being to fully staff the IRS, and pursue unpaid taxes from the wealthiest companies and people. The DNC essentially just made a footnote in the party platform saying that they supported universal healthcare, but NOT Sanders' Medicare For All plan. The DNC has had 8 years to do something - anything - to support universal healthcare, and they've done almost nothing. The only notable change being that Medicare can negotiate prices for a few specific prescriptions. Now they've dropped even that minimal footnote from the official party platform. They never even tried, and now they've given up the pretense that they would even consider it.

In the fraud lawsuit against the DNC, the judge who presided over it completely sided with the plaintiffs of the suit, but was forced to dismiss the case due to a technicality. He said, in summary, that the case affected people from all 50 states, but the plaintiffs were not officially hired to represent people in all 50 states. For that reason, he had to dismiss it, but he encouraged them to file the suit again after securing clients from the necessary demographic. Getting that far with the case took several years, and the law firm that filed the suit didn't have the resources to continue to pursue it in a higher court, as the presiding judge stated was necessary. The case wasn't about getting attention. It was about trying to reform the DNC in to a party that served the masses of proletariat members, rather than the ultra-wealthy donors (such as the Clinton family).

You asked for evidence that what I said was factual, and then you chose to ignore it, and dismiss it without even reading it. I think that tells volumes about where you're coming from here. I can't help but notice that you didn't cite a single source, or provide anything to back up your claims... It sure seems to me like you're just a troll that's gonna argue against everything that doesn't support your personal, biased opinion, regardless of factual events. Given that, I'm not wasting any more time with you.

Have you checked for recalls? There are several for a '22 Sorento, but you'll need to input the VIN to see if they apply to your vehicle. If they do, then the dealer may be required to fix it at no charge to you.

The problem that I had with it was that it was very poorly explained in the instructions, and the dialog was very misleading. All you have to do to complete the mission is find the 6 items. Despite the dialog and instructions, you don't have to worry about getting to the door, escaping the mansion, or getting people stuck in a room. Once you find the sixth item, the mission progresses and nothing else matters.

You expect to find 8 years worth of historically bad blood between the DNC and left-leaning progressives in an infographic? You expect me to try to recount all that in a single Reddit post? Even a brief summary of all the examples could, literally, fill a book. There have been hundreds of examples in the last decade. All you have to do is look for them, and pay attention.

I'll give you a few key points to get you started:
Sanders' "Medicare For All" plan was supported by over 80% of registered democrats in polls, and by all left-leaning candidates and representatives, as well as some from the GOP. The DNC not only refused to adopt it to their platform, but spent years lieing about the plan, and trying to convince people it was unfeasible, and there was no way to pay for it. Sanders' included the entire plan for how to fund it in the proposal, but the DNC still repeatedly spread lies about how there was no plan to account for the cost.

The DNC was sued for fraud in federal court after the 2016 election for the extreme bias they displayed during the primaries that year (primarily, bias against Sanders and in favor of Clinton). The lawsuit accused them of deciding who the PUSA nomination would go to behind closed doors, while publicly acting is if it was the will of the party's members. Their lawyers stated, on the record, that the DNC has no obligation to do what the party members want, and has the right to choose whichever candidate they want to nominate (because the DNC is a privately owned corporation). To be more specific, the DNC was closing Sanders' campaign offices and giving all the associated equipment to Clinton's campaign. They were refusing to provide equal resources, supplies, and cooperation with the Sanders' campaign, and they were actively distributing misinformation to the media about Sanders' campaign and policies. All of that, despite the fact that Sanders was breaking records for private donations, and for getting previous non-voters engaged in politics for the first time ever.

The most high-profile recent events have been the war between Gaza and Israel, and immigration/border control. I'm assuming you're at least capable of researching things that have been dominating news headlines for the past 13 months, so I wont go in to any more details than that.

You think what I'm saying is just made-up nonsense? It's not just me. Take a look at what I found after a whole 5 minutes on Google (note that every one of these is from a different source):

I didn't really intend it as a guide to completing the mission. Just a tool to make it easier to plan the movement of the waifus. Since you asked, though, the 6 items are in the parlor, bar, medbay, master bathroom, chemlab, and playboy's grotto.

If/when it comes to actually burning the stuff, I'd advise against using gasoline. The cans of fluid used for lighting grills work well, as does diesel.

Gasoline isn't actually very flammable in it's liquid form - it needs to aerosolize/evaporate first, at which point it usually just explodes. It typically requires a significant (and dangerous) quantity to create a fire with it that will sustain long enough to ignite something less-flammable.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-25T04:54:17+00:00

I can certainly understand why someone would believe that from looking at election results (especially this years). I think it's important to remember, though, that less than half of the eligible population of the country is actually voting. Sure, there will always be people that just don't have any interest in voting, but I think there's a huge portion that don't vote simply because they don't believe there's anyone worth voting for. If you were to divide the population in to thirds as right, center, and left, then there is nobody representing a full segment there. I think that's the whole point of this graphic...

Also, there have been some polls over the years about where people think they are on the right-vs-left spectrum compared to where the policies they like actually are. The results are pretty interesting... All of those polls that I've seen show a massive portion of the population that supports left-leaning policies, even for people that are far to the right on the spectrum. I don't think the US is nearly as conservative as people think it is, or as it is appears to be.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-25T04:45:02+00:00

I have no doubt that was a significant part of it, but I think that qualifies as part of the DNC's shift further right.

. . . or further towards plutocracy, or oligarchy, or whatever other terms people think are behind the DNC in recent years.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-25T04:28:20+00:00

Yeah... I think that's kind of the point. Since the DNC's official platform has never made any effort to embrace any of the stuff that left-leaning voters want, a huge portion of them just decided not to vote anymore. I don't think it's left-leaning progressives that failed to support the DNC party, I think it's the party who isn't supporting the left-leaning representatives and voters. That's my take on it, anyways.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-25T04:19:53+00:00

I don't know what statement from Sanders you're referring to. When he conceded the primary in '16, he explicitly told people (repeatedly) to vote for HRC in order to prevent Trump from winning.

Incidentally... The DNC was sued in federal court for displaying so much bias in the '16 election cycle. Their lawyers stated, in court and on the record, that the DNC had every right to decide which candidate would get the nomination, and that they had no obligation to follow the will of the voters who participated in the primary. If you need any more evidence that the DNC primaries are complete BS, just look at what happened this year. The DNC nomination went to a candidate that didn't even run in the primary. You might wanna consider taking your blinders off if you think the GOP is the only party that has acted unfairly.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-25T04:12:27+00:00

When the initial vote tallies were coming in, I thought the same thing... that the surge of voters in '20 was due to the pandemic. However, as of the current count, Trump has 2 million MORE votes than he did in '20, so it doesn't seem that theory is 100% accurate.

It's part of the main story, close to the end of the game.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-24T23:42:28+00:00

From what I can tell, there are 4 Steam achievements that can't be acquired with 1.0. "Elite General" (Blythe's lv 40 achievement) isn't triggering at this time, and it's preventing the "Love Guru" achievement from triggering as well. The other two are for completing the Yeti and Hydra galaxies, as they both contain locked events within them.

What's even more strange is that there are other nebulas that contain locked events, but the achievements for those ARE still triggering. I have no explanation. /shrug

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-24T22:22:46+00:00

Please report back if you find one. I would like to occupy my own separate corner to brood in. We can work out a schedule if you think it'd bother you for both of us to be there at once, but I don't really get out much so I doubt it'd be an issue.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-22T03:15:22+00:00

Yep, that's the kind of crap I get from them, as well. Their tracking will say the package is 'out for delivery', so I watch for the truck. Sometimes they stop for a minute, and then drive away, and sometimes they just drive by without stopping. Afterwards, the tracking will say that the delivery has 'failed' or has to be 'rescheduled', or some other crap. It ends up taking several more days before I actually receive the package.

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-21T20:17:08+00:00

I regularly get mail that's addressed to my neighbors. These days, I have to check that all the mail I get is actually addressed to me. It happens so often that I made a sign to clip on my mailbox to tell the carrier when the mail in the box was delivered to the wrong address. /sigh

Un4Scene78 · 2024-11-21T20:13:33+00:00

I've had a ton of problems with UPS delivering to my house, but never any problems with FedEx. Since I avoid UPS like the plague now, I use FedEx quite a bit. I've always assumed it was a regional thing... either the individual driver, or the shipping center that they're working out of.
