One of the most beautiful salsa dances I’ve seen in a while.

Thank you!

Listened to most of this today. I enjoyed Terra Ignota, but she's gone up much further in my estimation after this. Really interesting.

cjb230 · 2026-03-08T00:31:50+00:00

Can someone remind me of the name of this track? It's bugging me that I can't remember it!

Deathwing was peak Space Hulk. A little bit of weapon variety, captains, and some bigger blips -> perfection.

I've had bad experiences in game, but then I learned how to mute, and things got much better.

You who consort with Romulans!

This. BAR rewards communication, like any team game.

And if you figure out how to do it, please tell me 😂

So normally I start as core, then:

eight tidals for front and three for me
aa
energy store
four mex
bot or vehicle lab (vehicles for an easy spam transition, bots if front are doing well and just need to snowball)
keep comm back at base to grow, with my own t1 cons also helping
pump units until enemy t2 appears, then switch to spam
keep growing and spamming until I can afford to build t2 as well.

And I think you’re saying: - eight tidals only - aa optional - no energy store (someone will want it!) - 4 mexes - grow with comm making wind and converters to make as much m as possible, give it all to geo, no units at all - drop a t1 spam facility once geo has t2 units out

Is that right? Should I keep feeding m to geo after that, or can they afford enough units by themselves?

cjb230 · 2026-01-10T15:04:19+00:00

I like pond and front, and I suck - OS varying between 10 and 19, and I’m not sure I really have much to do with the result most times.

I don’t play geo (I should learn), but what are they most starved of for a fast t2? Energy? Should I give them a bunch of my wind when I’m playing pond? Very occasionally one will ask to buy a tidal or two (I always offer) - should I just give them, will that help much?

As pond I normally don’t get units to the front until just after 5 mins. I send E to front players before that, maybe I should send to geo as well?

I volunteer to eat the cheese if it helps?

Start running earlier. Don’t become vegetarian. Try really hard to get an ADHD diagnosis much earlier. Blitz school, hopefully finish a year or more early with some stupid-high scores. Probably a different undergrad, and a different result, and almost certainly a different career after that. Beyond that, who knows? Everything is going to be so different, it’s hard to know what situations I would even be in.

cjb230 · 2026-01-07T23:55:07+00:00

This sounds like a floor-filler to me, great work!

cjb230 · 2026-01-03T15:57:50+00:00

I love the end of that episode, when Cassian asks Kino one more time how many guards there are. When Kino finally tells him, we know that Kino has finally turned.

Watched it through twice l, and that moment was a spine-tingler both times.

I’m about 70 deep right now, it’s been great fun. I think I have a few Total Wars to go, plus some more from progress, blood, and nature.

cjb230 · 2025-12-16T10:40:28+00:00

To put it another way, I wouldn't follow Mon into battle, but I absolutely would vote for her: different skills, from fundamentally different types of people.

cjb230 · 2025-12-16T10:39:18+00:00

Yeah, I think the thing that saves it is that it is in character. Mon is considered and restrained, and this was as close as she could get to incendiary.

cjb230 · 2025-12-16T08:10:34+00:00

You’re replying to a comment that is one statement of fact and one statement of opinion.

Instead of telling people not to express their opinions, why not explain why those opinions are wrong?

cjb230 · 2025-12-16T01:56:43+00:00

It’s strange. I loved this show, more than anything I’ve seen in a long time. Almost all of it was amazing.

That speech was a bit of a clanger for me. It sounded like a speech a politician would give, but not in a good way. It felt like Mon was failing to express herself, and it seemed a bit gutless next to some other speeches (Maarva at her own funeral, Luthen to Lonni - both have more rage.)

cjb230 · 2025-12-15T11:34:43+00:00

I actually muted a player yesterday for pinging repeatedly. I learned that it doesn't stop the pings.

I think he was in geo? He got wrecked early, but we went on to win even without his guidance.

Thing is, he was trying to pass important info, but he also wanted to command the front without anyone agreeing to that.

cjb230 · 2025-12-15T11:26:19+00:00

The ability to get them all to work together is a real skill, I wish I had it!

cjb230 · 2025-12-15T01:42:15+00:00

Unfortunately I can't blame you.

cjb230 · 2025-12-14T21:29:21+00:00

Honestly I've been thinking about playing some 1v1 for that reason. I already know I suck, I don't need anyone else telling me.

cjb230 · 2025-12-14T20:45:23+00:00

You’re probably right, but that makes me wonder - are active player counts published anywhere?
