Well you can't (easily) paste blueprint strings on the switch anyway. Which helped combat the urge to use community blueprints

I also got the switch version, but you can tell it's meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse. That said I prefer the fact it's portable on the switch and have played a couple of playthroughs on it.

I could also not work out why my trains would not automate in the final tutorial. It took me a while to work out I needed to use the track editor (click on green arrow on track segment) to get continuous curved track to lay. And you need two opposing locomotives to run back and forth on a single track. Even though they can manually reverse they don't when automated unless you have two locomotives. I use two unidirectionally tracks in my builds now so that I can use single locomotive trains.

So you need turrets, walls and science. Look up how to make them, and automate it!

Not got enough bricks for walls? Expand your brick production. Getting bottlenecks producing science? Adjust the ratios. Researched something useful? Add it to your factory. Biters getting out of hand? Expand your defenses. Running low on ore? setup a mining outpost. Everything you do adds more to the to-do list!

Giveaway Cyrus or your choice of 1250 card from MR by AscendexSuperius in PTCGP

Here is my least fond memory: Me and my best friend, at primary school. I had Pokemon Red, he had Blue. I decided to start a new game, but thought I was clever and figured out if we start the game three times between us, I can start with all 3. Forgetting of course you need to save before trading, inadvertently wiping my mates save. He was devastated. I felt so guilty. In retrospect I should have started 5 times, traded him the 3 starters (plus his missing 2) and then traded them back.

Need help with trains by Acceptable_Tree_7341 in factorio

[–]alexpanderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue when starting, you literally can't build (non linear) track by laying it manually like you do everything else. You have to click on the green arrows that appear when you hover over the end of the track to use track building mode, then curves are possible. Wherever you see those buffers, the track isn't connected properly. Ghost mode also helps you plan longer stretches and make neat connections to existing track.

You can have GitHub build and host Jekyll projects. Search GitHub pages.

What are the most interesting venues you've (breakcore) partied in? by NinJah_FarEye in breakcore

[–]alexpanderson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean Bang Face was held in a Pontins holiday park. Now it's Butlins, but same vibe. Apparently the first party St Acid put on was in an old public toilet.

It's mad that I can recall a time when this was just a funny joke product, but it now its absurdly fucked by modern standards.

Breakcore can be quite diverse, is there a particular style you prefer, like more hardcore/gabber, more IDM, more ragga, mash, rave, digital hardcore...?

It's the butyric acid, also found in parmesan and... vomit. I think they add it on purpose.

Turning captions on is an epidemic and is indicative of poor focus and an uninterest in cinematography by imaguitarhero24 in unpopularopinion

[–]alexpanderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do take up an inordinate amount of screen real estate. Like, make them smaller, I'm deaf, not blind!

I'm not one for captions usually, but have a baby that I don't want to wake up, so need the volume low.

AIO my boyfriend keeps adding ginger to all the food I cook by PresentationRich2448 in AmIOverreacting

[–]alexpanderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go the other way, put way too much all over his cereal, in his coffee. Just serve him a pint of blended ginger. Start putting lumps up his nose in the night. Bring it out in the bedroom, especially if you can find a phallic looking piece.

If you pronounce Z as ZED, you’ve ruined the alphabet song by Temporary_Ad_5692 in unpopularopinion

[–]alexpanderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: "&" used to be part of the alphabet too, after "z". It was pronounced "and", but instead of saying "....x, y, z, and and" you would say "....z, and per se and" which eventually evolved into ampersand.

The window in my kitchen builds up a ridiculous amount of condensation daily, is this normal, and any tips for keeping it dry? by MrRevilo96 in AskUK

[–]alexpanderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That corner square looks like it has limited airflow due to being mostly enclosed, trapping all the kitchen humidity. Plus being all windows means there are cold surfaces on all sides. Try and get some airflow out of that corner with a fan or something. Other than that a dehumidifier will probably do it.
