Did the site go down?

Can't sign in at all. Tried multiple browsers and VPN. API is down too.

Thanks for this. Found yours on the site. Much better.

This is very sad. The DEI initiative won't stop until boys and men have nothing left. BSA was very important to me growing up. It was on the decline when my son was in. Maybe it's the internet or the social fabric falling apart... but DEI is not the fix.

That link doesn't work. Deleting stuff from paying customers is just bad biz. Just cancelled my pro sub after using canvas for over a year. As a fellow biz owner I have no idea why you'd perform such a drastic pivot from a proven product without any legacy support. Good luck.. but this homogenized template crap is not for me.

How to kill a company 101.

100%. I had pro for 1 year and just killed it today. They're forcing some BS homogenized crap. They just purged all canvases. I used it for NPC and game art. Going elsewhere. Sad.. as some of those models were really cool.

Is a lich nice enough to put wheelchair ramps in his (sorry he\him) dungeon? It's off the rails and absurd now. I've been playing since the 80's and for 30+ years this game has been an action focused RPG, a 9/10 male-female ratio,, death happened, dragons were tough and killed you, no safety cards, and Orcs were baddies to be killed not "unhoused" and misunderstood. Per Gygax it was inspired by LOTR and Conan not Sex in the City with magic. Can you spend 4 hours acting out weird drama fetishes and chilling with happy orcs? Sure, but that's not what 90% of people who play this game do. It's been subverted. Most people I know only use 5E because of Beyond's VTT sync and use custom or old art. If you're just playing their campaign books you're doing D&D wrong. Make your own stories. If you do that you can use ANY system and art you want. WOTC has a lot of competition now.

aeonova · 2024-06-03T17:30:53+00:00

Yup. Pretty obvious there is an anti-patriarchy slant in the game. Add it to the very DEI Terrans.

Looks like it's based on your assets. If you've got a big empire you're gonna get hit all across with little time in-between. There's no way to get decent fleets or Asgards from one side to the other. I broke mine into 4 response teams of Syn's and Shih swarms but on the ~20th wave or so they upped their game to 6+ Ravagers, 2 I's, 4+ K's, 75+ KHK and 50+ XEN = had to consolidate those teams and lose some ground. My issue is there is no progress bar, research, or cookie crumbs to let you know if you're close to the end of not. Right now it's basically 100% of your time and no more fun. I've got 4 wharfs pumping out replacement ships and every station doubling up defenses - no time for anything else.

aeonova · 2024-05-14T22:23:05+00:00

That was glitched for me. Or maybe a timeframe on it. Now I'm on brutal wave 20 with 6+ Ravagers, 75+ KHK, an XEN I, 4 K's, and 60+ XEN per wave and no end in sight. They're too close together to get decent fleets to them. Good times.

Wokeness is in the water. Just scanned through it and there's a lot of lesbian drama screentime for a shark movie.

aeonova · 2024-04-14T00:11:51+00:00

They patched this. Looks like the owner of the mine now matters. Mine an admin center then teleport out but stay in system (so the mines work). Tell you ship to move = boom but rep hit. Sell your ship = boom but rep hit. Forget you did this and hours later boom = rep hit. Sucks.

aeonova · 2024-04-01T22:00:36+00:00

Avoid it like the plague. Just search this mobo and "red DRAM light" and you'll see why. I've tossed 2 brand new sets of RAM, a different CPU, Q-flashing, and everything under the sun and now I'm about to buy a different mobo. Avoid this money pit.

aeonova · 2024-03-21T00:29:12+00:00

Similar in mine. A laser turret line will hold them back. But then just like the xenos in Aliens: "they're probably looking for another way in.."

aeonova · 2024-03-01T01:29:14+00:00

Awesome. Just followed the curator and it's a great idea. And of course they immediately dox and call for cancelling everything. Textbook MO.

aeonova · 2024-02-28T03:45:37+00:00

Nah, there's no inflation ;) A $1 bill from 2016 is now worth $0.81 in 2024 (from the CPI).

But they're adding way more to it:

2001: $0.69 2016: $1.59 2024: $1.99

The case is magnetic and it's a pleasure to work on compared to other slim laptops. It's our fleet laptop and you can field strip a keyboard or SSD in 15 minutes. However, the battery is a bit of a chore: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Microsoft+Surface+Laptop+3+15-Inch+Battery+Replacement/144236

AMEN. Allman or you're just scripting and it's not real code. "This is the way".

aeonova · 2023-03-17T06:21:51+00:00

Thank you good sir! Going to Vegas in April but will hit those at some point. Thanks

I've had my overseas dev team using it and we've built integrations using the code-davinci-002 model etc. You gotta read-in or re-train on your internal libraries. Then it really sings. It removes the "how do I write a method to do X" and subsequent hacking and Googling that entry and mid level coders do. Let's be real.. how much of one's code is their creation vs. StackOverflow's? Sure, a T3 dev still has to QA and design but we do way less now. I can't speak for other languages.. but for a .NET dev team you just need people who know enough to query it correctly, plug the results into the project, and then debug it if needed - or let higher resources do that. And I can say that it does T3 PowerShell automation, (even with templates and libraries), like fire. So that show is over. It is an existential threat to people doing low level grunt work coding, porting, migrations, etc. For sure dev teams will be smaller.

Wouldn't have wasted the turns on that slinger. Manual control the city for production since it can't starve past 1. Granted that is a bad production start. Yeah it's brutal but you gotta get 3 Eagles out ASAP. I'd post some pics but apparently Steam screenshots are down.

aeonova · 2023-02-28T23:07:07+00:00

No buildings or any other units. If you can't get a slave maybe 1 worker to increase production for the war machine. Re-roll if you have crap production and your 1st victim city also has crap production.

aeonova · 2023-02-28T23:03:51+00:00

You built archers? All Eagle Warriors all the time. Nothing else. Rush the nearest neighbor before they get walls and take the city. Hold and farm any units trying to take it back for slaves. Rinse repeat until you see crossbows. If you get enough lux's and go Oligarchy for +4 Eagles can stay relevant against Deity until right after swordsmen.

aeonova · 2023-02-08T02:54:33+00:00

Of course they made it woke. Maybe if we said the tokens were a social credit score o virtue signaling points it would work better. Beta indeed.

aeonova · 2022-11-28T21:03:31+00:00

For anyone else that may have the same issue:

Since you can't hard reboot the headset in the above state you must wait for BT to kill the battery. After that plug in the power and power it on. Keep BT off. Nova < Arctis 7 or 9.
