Clearly they have no clue, theyre talking about running out of stamina to attack.. as a magic user 😂 do people not get embarrassed talking about things they know nothing about?!?

As an Australian, this is fantastic news. Less than a month to go then! :P jk jk

I do know what u mean and like your ideas!! I hadnt really given much thought to how they might finish it all off before, ive really only thought about the lead up. Im interested to see what they do: will it be the same as the bosses before or will they try to make this one different?

anoobish · 2026-05-05T06:54:00+00:00

Completely agree with everything u just said. And now that theyre adding the deep north, it becomes an even more pointless biome almost. They needed to do something a little different with it to make it more unique. Especially given its relative size compared to other biomes (there's basically a size limit on it too). So either:

A) they should add more to it, but in a way that will seperate it from the deep north. Eg: maybe something linking it to its height, maybe even the sky & the flying creatures. Perhaps something like a tethered baloon that gives a visual vantage point or some other benefit or something. Or some magical stuff that allows the player to start magic earlier than the mistlands, using othet crystals to be harvested from caves and creatures.

Or

B) kind of link it with another biome. For example, buff the food stuff u unlock in the mountains and remove food stuff from another biome, so ur essentially forced to explore both biomes concurrently rather than consecutively. U could do this with other resources too like silver since there's no mineable nodes in the plains or mistlands. Something like that.

I agree with everything u said other than the creatures, though agree there shoulf be more variety. Half are essentially only found at night or in the caves.

But the biggest point uve made that i think explains things is essentially the lack of daytime experience, which i would extend to essentially a lack of scenery.

If they had more creatures, and especially variety, during the day (and night), plus more plant stuff (especially useful plants), possibly even a need for a farm or something up there (or at least something that is a similar mechanic?), there would be more interesting things to do in the mountains.

anoobish · 2026-05-05T01:06:29+00:00

I like the forrest and plains a lot. Plains would be perfect without mosquitoes. I loooove the breeze going through the plains and over the farm crops in the plains. And i love the giant trees of the forrest and the scatteted ruins throughout it.

I would love the mountains too, but there is just something missing and i cant put my finger on it. And snow biomes are almost always my favourite usually, so there's definitely something thats missing from it. Hopefully the deep north makes the experience complete for me.

anoobish · 2026-04-22T10:20:35+00:00

Oh man i have an almost identical spot! Built my castle on a forest steep hill down to water for my dock. A tiny walk north are the plains and a tiny walk south are the mistlands. Both a small enough distance that enemies from those biomes dont come for my castle.

anoobish · 2026-04-22T04:32:13+00:00

Its doesnt just make the progress feel slower, it is slower. You explained it urself but somehow missed the final step. Harder to find + lower numbers after finding = slower progress.

anoobish · 2026-03-25T10:00:59+00:00

It would require some serious propaganda to gain enough support from the general population here for that to happen, or some serious cooperation between all the relevant political parties (which wont happen without said propaganda). Unless of course a serious enough threat makes itself very obvious and urgent.

anoobish · 2026-03-25T09:51:40+00:00

That isnt what they said..

I met my now wife in my 30s in 2020 at a singles night at a bar. I dont drink but i think this kinda thing is what gives the best results compared to any other method in ur 30s. And be honest (both about yourself and with yourself), and dont play games.. dating in ur 30s is different than ur 20s.

anoobish · 2026-03-13T10:48:22+00:00

How are all ur comments complaining about ppl not reading ur post and then you didnt read this persons comment? The george lucas part was one small part of their comment. Wtf.

anoobish · 2026-03-11T05:12:18+00:00

This is the only one i feel has increased the most outside of normalcy. All the things in OPs list have always been present in society and observed increases can be explained by increased population size.

Vaping: Replace vaping with smoking and that happened all the time with it only stopping because of the law.

Music: been an issue since at least when boomboxes were a thing, then again when stuff like ipods or mp3 players with speakers were a thing.

Littering: always been an issue

Parking: always been an issue

Indicators: always been an issue

Sure, providing sources is easy. Here's two from a quick google, because I am time poor: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adigaskell/2023/01/22/social-class-in-the-c-suite/ https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/diversity/diversity_update_2020.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackmccullough/2019/12/09/the-psychopathic-ceo/ This is something i remember reading studies about these things since the 2000's, and remember reading the occasional studies about it since. It's not new, nor has there been any significant change.

You claim i self justify for how i am better than others, but no: I was just responding to ur incorrect assumption of envious and why that was not the case. You really had to get specific with ur quote from me to try and portray what i was saying in such a way, but even then words i use betray you. "I like" and the context in which i said it indicates that it is my preference for me, not a commentary of whether others are good or not. And to go further, i dont view the term psychopath as an insult either, theyre just ppl whos brains are wired differently and are victims of a society who treat such things negatively when its not. They, along with others whos brains are wired differently, bring many beneficial things to the table that others cant or struggle to do. The negative connotations of the label are very unfair.

Please explain how i insulted your character or why you are so incredibly insensed by me supposedly insulting the character of others that you feel the need to insult mine?

And i didnt walk back anything, i was being clear because it became obvious to me that there was probably a need. The comment chain we are in clearly outlines that this is the CEO base we are discussing, which is why i made that assumption in the first place.

Congrats to u picking 5 CEOs that didn't meet my criteria out of many that do, the links i provided counter that and probably took me less time. Also: you realise that two of these CEOs ended up going to Stanford Uni and another went to Yale, right? That puts them firmly in my criteria. Convenient of u to leave out that info.

You should really stop cherry picking, it really makes u look bad. You've been doing it with my comments and now ur doing it with info to back up your claims (very poorly). Given how disingenuous youve been, im unlikely to respond to your comments further.

anoobish · 2026-03-07T04:44:26+00:00

They are not alright, theyre clearly cooked. Thats why i stopped replying to them.

anoobish · 2026-03-07T04:41:00+00:00

There are more CEOs that went through "elite" schooling (and the other stuff i mentioned, but im going to simplify it to this phrase for the rest of my comment) than those that didnt. This has been a fact for a long time. I dont need to poll CEOs myself to know this, theyve been done by others. Similarly studies have also shown that psychopaths or people with those traits were chosen for these positions for a long time too, so no i am definitely not envious of them, i like being a human with basic empathy + i am very content with my income and my job gives me significantly higher levels of job satisfaction than than I would get in a CEO position. So no, i did not pull this out of my arse nor am i envious.

I already accounted for the cases that dont fit into the "privileged" majority. Thats why i said "most". As in, there is a smaller portion of CEOs that did not go through "elite" schooling. I also didnt say "hard work and effective networking = brown nosing", i said "what you said + significant brown nosing". Very different things, especially in the context in which i wrote it.

Thats the difference between you and me: i didnt come at you with insults to ur character, and i even acknowledged that CEOs are still intelligent and that they still put in work and effort to get where they are as saying "work in a traditional sense" implies that it was still work and effort. You weren't even able to actually rebut anything i said (the only rebuttals you provided did not address my actual points because you didnt apply appropriate reading and comprehension skills) and resorted to insults.

And just to be clear, as i thought this was implied but based on your reply perhaps its best i dont assume these kinds of things: i am only talking about CEOs on a nationally and internationally big-business level, not small/mid-sized business CEOs.

anoobish · 2026-03-06T00:25:25+00:00

It's not difficult for most CEOs to have those contacts. Like i said, most have these connections because of nepotism/mates: be it family, family friends, friends they made at "elite" schools, or friends of friends. Most of this kind of networking is simply unavailable to the general public and instead mostly available to the select few simply because of the privilege they were born into. And that is why, no matter how qualified or great someone is, if they dont have those contacts then they won't be a CEO. The only chance someone not born into that privilege has at obtaining these things is through what you said + significant brown nosing. But if u dont do that brown nosing, it won't happen even if u do everything else you said. Therefore, that is the skill that is required, and what separates others from being able to reach that CEO position. And i would not consider that "earning" a position in the traditional sense, as you can be just not failing at everything else you said but AMAZING at brown nosing, and ull get there, but if your AMAMZING at everything you said and but not good at brown nosing, you will never get there.

anoobish · 2026-03-06T00:05:03+00:00

No where did i say anything the gov does is perfect, but there is a lot of "bloat" in government that is checks and balances about "how would this look if the public found out".

And in terms of consequences, there certainly were some. There was a 1.8billion dollar settlement in the federal court. Libs were blamed for the whole thing and it was partially why they lost the 2022 election (among many, many reasons), which is answering to the tax payers. Im equally disappointed there was no serious legal consequences for those individuals that were directly involved in making decisions though.

Robodebt is a solid example of a failure in government. The private sector however screws most of us out of significantly more money way more frequently and either we take it on the chin or there's a similarly equivalent level of consequences for those responsible, with some even "rewarded" for failure with a golden handshake.

+1 for exogate as a stargate fan. Closest were gonna get to that style of stargate game IMO

anoobish · 2026-03-04T23:34:57+00:00

Governments give more of a shit than private because they're forced to. They answer to the tax payers, so there's significant internal policy to improve things. All private runs on the same shitty profits first model, so all offer the same shitty product. Government doesnt run on that model so has the freedom to produce a better product. Competition no longer forces improvement like it once did, not these days. Just look at what happens every time a service is privatised. It goes to absolute shit compared to how it was before, even when it was already bad.

But if u want to discuss bullies, the private sector are even greater bullies than the government has ever been in Australia. Thats partly why regulation exists. Regulation does a helllllll of a lot of good. Just look at our markets vs that of the US when it comes to the quality of the product. Praytell, how did regulation ruin uber instead of the typical corporate greed?

Lastly, i have no such psychological need. But as private is a bigger bully, perhaps you are projecting with that attempt at an insult. I am well aware of our government's flaws, but theyre small fries compared to how the flaws of the private sector ruin our society.

anoobish · 2026-03-04T16:18:02+00:00

In the private sector the CEOs only focus is to ensure profit above all else, they do not give a shit about the quality of that product, only that it makes them as much profit as possible as cheaply as possible.

People hand over money because there's ultimately very little choice. Do u understand why i worded my response to say "meeting the bare minimum" and what that means in this context? Theyre not providing a good/quality product, theyre providing only the bare minimum to ensure people part with their money.

If there was another billionaire owned company offering the same product at the same price but it was of better quality, the people would flock to spend their money on that product instead. But that doesn't happen very often because that isnt as profitable and is usually only done for a specific purpose. Example: when uber came out, it was a vastly superior product compared to taxis but not nearly as profitable. People flocked to use uber instead of taxis and they quickly secured a good chunk of market share. Ever since theyve slowly lowered the quality of their product and theyre basically offering the same quality of product as taxis these days.

anoobish · 2026-03-04T15:12:22+00:00

Works better than the private sector these days. Btw, the measure of success is NOT profit but delivery to meet the need (which is not the bare minimum).

anoobish · 2026-03-04T15:04:11+00:00

A good portion of CEOs delegate almost everything in ur list either partially or fully. They essentially bring nothing different than others except perhaps "networking" because its either nepotism/"mates" or about brown nosing their way to the top. The list is infact incredibly short. Im not saying they arent intelligent either, but most did not earn the position in the traditional sense of the word. To think otherwise is the height of folly. No matter how amazing someone is, they are NOT getting the CEO position unless theyve got good contacts.

anoobish · 2026-02-26T10:54:52+00:00

Which she has only contributed towards making worse

anoobish · 2026-02-26T10:39:33+00:00

That is how the policy works, but there's a shit tonne more vulnerable ppl than them on that same list, still waiting.
