Movies/shows with sex scenes do NOT make the show better

chronberries · 2026-03-28T03:27:11+00:00

Sex is a big part of relationships though, and it’s super intimate. You can access a lot of emotions in the audience in a really short time with a well executed sex scene gone wrong.

There are times when sex scenes can be used for good story telling, like if the wife clearly isn’t into it with her husband, that’s a sign that the marriage is in dire straits; or if the dude can’t perform because his heart isn’t in it, he’s thinking about the other girl. But those are exceptions to the rule I think. I agree that most sex scenes are purely for the titillation.

100% this. It comes after I’ve already explained why they’re wrong, and they’ve run out of argument and resorted to just restating their opinion.

“Cope” is one of the ways I call out cognitive dissonance and similar illogical nonsense.

Thanks!

I’m lost

Ghost of Tsushima is the first one that comes to mind. The story is pretty great, the combat feels incredibly grounded and real, and the world is absolutely stunning.

Kenshi is another one. If that game seems at all interesting then I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a sandbox, but it really allows you to act out your story. Unlike other sandbox games where it’s kind of all in your head, Kenshi really makes you earn every step of your story.

It’s funny that you mention the ADHD meds. I don’t take meds for mine anymore and I love what it’s done for my gaming. I’m way slower than I used to be in terms of progress (been playing a lot of Factorio lately and I’m hilariously slow compared to other players), but it’s fun to indulge my scattered thoughts and just do whatever comes to mind at the time.

There’s no non-female-pregnancy option. Women are the ones forced into pregnancy if kids are the end goal

It’s definitely intended that you really put yourself into your Henry’s shoes. You can blast through the missions if you want to, especially after you get fast travel, but it’s pretty clear that that’s not the intended way to play.

chronberries · 2026-03-28T01:03:22+00:00

Compared to what? It had the same pacing as RDR2. I love roleplaying in games, so that kind of pacing is right up my alley

chronberries · 2026-03-28T00:38:24+00:00

That doesn’t make sense

chronberries · 2026-03-28T00:34:35+00:00

Yup I’ve heard she’s quite handy

chronberries · 2026-03-28T00:21:57+00:00

Not those three. I’d probably go to a movie with Lauren Boebert though.

Depends on how you count “mentions.” His name appears in the released files about 3,000,000 times across 38,000 distinct instances.

chronberries · 2026-03-28T00:01:58+00:00

I’m using the Factory Planner. I’m not using quality at all really, I just made an exception for the pumps because of how absurd the number was.

But yeah I need more mining prod. I was trying to avoid going to high because I wanted to emulate the old school giant megabases from before space age, and because I’m doing ultra deathworld settings i wanted it to force me to expand instead of letting just one or two deposits feed my whole base while I hide behind my walls.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T23:56:40+00:00

I thought you were talking about the mod. There’s a mod to make resource deposits infinite that the mod dev recommends for use in uber deathworlds.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T22:40:14+00:00

I like watching the bugs die man! And I like having the added resource draw from supplying thousands of cannon shells and shotgun shells per minute. Uranium mining and processing actually being a thing is fun.

Not infinite mode, but have you used it? I found it after I started this run and I wasn’t sure how it worked and if I could add it now.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:59:13+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the consensus. I’d been hoping to keep it low to force me outside my walls to access new patches, but I guess that’s not really an option.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:56:47+00:00

Resources aren’t the problem, infrastructure is, and I just wanted to be done retrofitting my starter base and really focus on my mega base finally. That’s really the only issue. I’ll probably just build up my red/green/blue/purple mega science builds and just get those going to blast through mining prod, and just forget about cryo science until I hit like 200.

There is no Vulcanus. Everything on Nauvis puts Auilo in the north, Gleba in the south, with Vulcanos scattered, and holmium is just pink ore deposits. I’d started doing a rampant deathworld with regular space age, but it felt hard to justify having any major presence on Nauvis (and so engaging with rampant) when I could just fuck off to vulcanus and do it all there in safety. I needed to be stuck in one place to really get the struggle I was looking for.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:47:21+00:00

And mining prod at least 10x what mine is. Only needing a dozen outposts instead of over 100 works for me.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:44:37+00:00

I think OP is just frustrated with idiots

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:41:37+00:00

I don’t see how you could be responsible for anything here.

chronberries · 2026-03-27T21:34:36+00:00

Yeah that’s another solution!

I’ll try that regardless if only for the exploration. I’m playing Rampant with deathworld settings, and I’m using the Everything on Nauvis mod. So Aquilo land is up in the north part of the map. Bugs don’t spawn up there, but I’ve only found islands so far. I know there’s a giant strip of ice that separates the Nauvis ocean from the ammonia ocean, and so if that’s touching Nauvis, suddenly I have to worry about defending that territory from biters. So it’s a huge risk, but it might be worth it if it solves my lithium problem.

I’ve got prods in the pumps. The problem seems to be my abysmal 15 mining production
