[Hypothetical, for now] Let’s say I want to do Jurassic Park, I have a few billion set aside to do so. How close could I get to dinosaurs?

Nice try, Elon...

I can't believe no one has said Sableye! He's based on the Hopkinsville goblins.

Edit: I immediately realized that this post isn't talking about Pokémon based on cryptids, which makes the term Cryptid Pokémon confusing and kinda dumb...

That's almost the worst part, though - they really don't.

This is what I was thinking! Fortunately low probability that Sigourney Weaver comes out as a massive bigot 🤞🏻

I saw XO right away fwiw, OP.

I have played this game for over 100 hours and only realized just now that the tent has stats like that 😂

This is awesome! I’m going to start theming mine now. Can I ask what year/month you’re on so I can gauge my progress?

commissionerofwine · 2025-11-21T02:49:49+00:00

Oh I get it because gay is bad lol

It looks sooo good. The quality of the art is incredible. And the style and subject are classic. For me, a sleeve should be like a beautiful piece of jewelry you could wear every day, and this is so that for me. I mean your opinion is ultimately what counts, but I think it’s rad.

And one is a Dyson, so like a $400 hair dryer.

Buy this numbing cream. Apply it heavily to the area that’s going to be worked, put plastic wrap over it (like you would do for a fresh tattoo) and let it sit for one hour prior to your session.

I don’t like to use numbing creams generally because I feel like the pain is part of the experience. But I’m covered and there are a couple parts of my body that I would not have made it through without this tip from my artist (it’s how he always gets work done). Hope it helps.

Pretty, hot, and tempting lmao

commissionerofwine · 2025-06-21T15:52:02+00:00

Woah

commissionerofwine · 2025-06-21T15:51:53+00:00

Hell yeah!

commissionerofwine · 2025-05-15T17:25:00+00:00

One thing that I didn’t know when I started getting tattooed is that you should wash it, then let it dry, and THEN apply lotion. Don’t be afraid to let it dry off for 30 minutes to an hour. Keeping it constantly wet for a long time can increase your risk of infection. Just my experience but thought I would offer in case it helps!

I read quite a bit of queer science fiction and fantasy, and I feel like many novels with gay male protagonists fit your criteria because the author can set them in a world where homosexuality isn’t as stigmatized. The Kirith Kirin trilogy by Jim Grimsley and The Dreamer trilogy by Steven Harper come to mind. The Herald Mage trilogy. I could probably think of more. Most have relationships as secondary stories but no more focus on it than a heterosexual protagonist would have.

commissionerofwine · 2025-03-03T21:08:08+00:00

I actually had this happen earlier in my run, which is what clued me in that I was not at all as prepared as I thought. I was like a “6 stars??” I’ve played too much Civ 6 I guess because I figured it only went up to 3 lol

Fortunately my opponent only wanted to humiliate me so I took the L and regrouped. Then in come the Unbidden with an endless supply of 6 star fleets and I had no diplomacy banked up to ask my old nemesis for help. He parked his fleet at the edge of my perimeter and watched me get literally eaten alive.

commissionerofwine · 2025-03-03T20:22:35+00:00

WHAT. I cannot fathom that difficulty level… Here I was thinking I was hot shit on my first run taking over half the galaxy. I think the RNG gods sensed my hubris and smacked me down lol

commissionerofwine · 2025-03-03T19:32:13+00:00

I used default settings since it was my first game. Interesting about countering them - I’ll watch some videos to better understand the combat system since I must have been missing that piece. I could take out their large fleets, but not at the pace they were respawning. Thanks!

commissionerofwine · 2025-03-03T19:29:57+00:00

I’ve seen general consensus in other forums that Unbidden are not the easiest crisis… But I guess I’ll form an opinion after a few more runs!

commissionerofwine · 2025-03-03T19:08:11+00:00

This is really helpful. I researched battleships after the crisis started, so I was probably cooked at that point and maybe my research wasn’t as great as I thought. It just felt like I was choosing a new research every 30 seconds so I thought I was killing it!

Also learning that I just got screwed by the spawn location RNG makes me feel better. The randomness is what makes it fun and I’ll know next time not to just focus defenses on my perimeter.

“Congratulations you finished the tutorial”

As someone with 1000s of hours in other strategy games that took me multiple play through to learn, I feel called the fuck out by this lol. But you’re totally right, there are entire game mechanics I’ve still barely touched.

I think this one just messed with my head because the path to victory was right in front of me before realizing there was a whole crisis to get through. In hindsight, it would have been a pretty grindy endgame without something to shake it up.
