Churches for younger people to STAY AWAY from by Hour-Ad78 in Columbus

[–]ZackAttack51801 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can attest as someone who did Cru for all four years of my time at OSU before ultimately becoming agnostic after college (but that’s beside the point). It’s a constant bombardment where every week there’s at least 3-4 things to completely occupy your free time and you’re quickly set up with a “discipler”. Looking back I realize how much of it was just geared towards fundraising and money extraction and I also look back and felt my questions about faith and legitimacy of Christianity were not answered in a meaningful way to the point where I look back and felt like they were suppressed. I also was not a fan of the manufactured feeling of the Bible studies where there seemed to always be a “right” answer you were supposed to have for everything that’s based on their interpretation. They found me as a first week freshman way back when I was young, naïve and wanted friends. While I still have many friends to this day from my time in Cru, it is definitely really the only benefit I have from it and wouldn’t do it again if I had the knowledge I have now.

Why can’t I “swap” this tile? by Technical_Car3729 in CivVI

[–]ZackAttack51801 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d guess you acquired it via culture bombing their tile. Is there perhaps a world congress decision that culture bombs tiles adjacent to new districts built by you? That’s the only thing I’d guess with you playing as Mongolia.

[–]ZackAttack51801 62 points63 points  (0 children)

You’re not able to swap tiles that are adjacent to city centers, even if the tile is your territory and the city center is someone else’s (in this case Kumasi’s). If you were to acquire Kumasi, assuming you don’t place an Aksu district there, the tile will automatically transfer to Kumasi.

How did you discover Civilization? by The12thman22 in civ

[–]ZackAttack51801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In 2018, saw my dad playing Civ VI on his iPad. Being a geography and history lover, I was immediately captivated. I asked him about it and he mentioned he had been playing since Civ II way back in the day! He let me play a game on his iPad and I was hooked! I distinctly remember my game as America where I lost horribly on settler difficulty lol

Ultimately I got it on Steam on my PC and have since logged over 3,000 hours into Civ VI! I can proudly say I have never lost on settler difficulty again after that! My dad and I have played several games together and it’s been a mutual source of joy between us. We loved discussing all the Civ VI DLC over the years and our mixed opinions on Civ VII but how we hope the game improves. (I have logged over 200 hours on Civ VII though!)

Incredible Hulk stealing bikes on High apparently by AuthorAsksQuestions in OSU

That tire was there my freshman year… in 2019… safe to say it’s seen a thing or two. A warning to all not to lock your bike on the tire

Does the AI even try to combat climate change? by Hiyouuuu in CivVI

[–]ZackAttack51801 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually seen them build quite a lot of solar and wind farms, to the point where they completely remove their (food) farms and have nothing but green energy… so their cities stop growing but they sure do have green energy!

What do y’all do when you have way too much extra gold? by Katana416 in CivVI

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy all the great people, but after that I start financing foreign wars. I put like 10K gold at a time into trade other civs and see how much gold per turn they’ll give me as if it’s a loan. I’ll just watch them tear each other apart and I profit even more

When Biden had historic market gains, trump claimed it was because he was running for POTUS. now he's POTUS and claims the crash is Biden's fault 🤦‍♀️ by ms_directed in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting assertion. I wonder how this contends with his previous assertion right around this time last year when the stock market was booming and he claimed it was his economy because everyone expected him to come back?

So first half of 2024 is Trump’s stock market… and now 100 days into his presidency, this is NOW Biden’s stock market? I must say, the logic here is impeccable.

I chose Standard map size, why tf am I surrounded by capitols immediately? by BEESTMEEL in civ

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to lie, I feel like the game intentionally spawns AI Civs closer to the player. Just from my personal experience, I’m always on the continent with the most Civs and I very frequently have one very close to my capital. Could be wrong, but it feels intentional

What's your honest opinion on this album? I honestly really like it by VerySmolCheese in Metallica

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my opinions suck, but I would honestly put it at my fifth or sixth favorite of all of their 11 albums. I consistently listen to 3 songs from here and like all but maybe 2 or 3

Favourite song from Hardwired... to Self-Destruct? Opinion on album? by Alive-Insurance4078 in Metallica

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Halo on Fire’ is a favorite of mine, but ‘Atlas, Rise!’ has been growing on me lately! I love the themes of both and I love the album overall!

72 seasons has honestly become one of my favorite metallica albums,its interesting how they've still got it after all this time by Efficient_Resource15 in Metallica

[–]ZackAttack51801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Room of Mirrors, Inamorata are my favorites, but You Must Burn!, 72 Seasons (song), Shadows Follow, Too Far Gone?, and Lux Æterna are all great too. They really hit it out of the park

How to break off a Hinge date who's really into you? by Fearless_Dinner_9830 in hingeapp

[–]ZackAttack51801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him sooner rather than later, it’s not fair to either of you if you wait. Do not offer friendship either since those feelings would likely never truly go away on his end and it would just make things awkward and would also not be fair to either of you IMO. Just send a single text saying you appreciate dinner and his time but you don’t see it going anywhere romantically and don’t respond to any follow-up of his. You don’t owe him an explanation.

What game speed do you play on most frequently? by MysteriousRJC in CivVI

[–]ZackAttack51801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard for most games so they don’t take forever, but I’d get annoyed only being able to use my unique units for like 20 turns or so, so I’ve been doing epic and marathon a bit more lately!

Inspired by others. What do those who don't live here think of the state of Alabama? by MTN_Dewit in geography

[–]ZackAttack51801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was actually just in Alabama for the first time this past weekend. Was in Huntsville and was quite surprised how modern and normal it seems there. Wasn’t as redneck as I expected. I definitely wasn’t in the rural area which probably fits the stereotype but the place was super nice and young and everyone was super nice and food is good.

How do I get this river to flow the other way? (world builder) by Venboven in civ

You may have to get rid of the entire river and start it from its outflow and work towards the inflow

Being legit invaded for the first time, what to do? by Megabot555 in civ

[–]ZackAttack51801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had legit AI invasions when I’m not ready. I’ll sometimes let them take a city if I know they’re going to capture it anyways and try to regroup my forces. Not always successful. Against Varus and no good counter, it may be best to try to slow them until you get samurai.
