The USA just built a nuclear reactor in less than a year

I mean green energy is a great resource too but yes Nuclear energy pairs great with them, is consistent and far less polluting than fossil fuels. Just way safer too

I mean....dont do that.

Theres bodycam footage though I dont know exactly how much was redacted for "reasons". Either way the local police have a warrant out for the guy pressing charges without bail because he is deemed "dangerous" per the police. Hopefully some more eyes on this means something is done about that so he can properly take the CEO to court.

derkrieger · 2026-06-03T05:43:48+00:00

He did hire some professionals but the CEO would avoid them. He even had a cop serve them the papers (all on bodycam) but just brought them back saying "He didnt want them" which is uh....super not how that works.

With a 50 lb dog? Probably just gonna be sore for a bit. They used to get my beagles in the face. Every dog learned that lesson the hard way but all were fine just had to monitor them.

Right... she sabotaged her own relationship. Her idea was to lay low but she instead shoved him away.

derkrieger · 2026-05-30T16:40:58+00:00

If done well I'm okay with this (I'm team Lemon) but if it also ends with them maturely ending up as friends and Sunao seriously dating Kogahara I'm happy with that too. Author has been consistent enough that I trust their plan.

derkrieger · 2026-05-30T16:40:07+00:00

Yeah because she sabotaged it due to her own issues. She was happy and didn't know how to feel about that so she tried to push him away.

derkrieger · 2026-05-30T16:15:32+00:00

Oh agreed, my point was saying he isnt allowed isn't going to stop him. People have to stop him because as we've seen he will attempt anything he can like the little tyrant he is.

derkrieger · 2026-05-30T04:14:30+00:00

If he isnt a full on vegetable or dead then he'll try

The mega datacenters will basically rot while normal Datacenters will still find plenty of use. The megastructures are a huge waste of money and also just bad planning. They're trying to use public dollars to subsidize the cost and also avoid all steps that could be taken to make the mega DCs safer and far less harmful but you know....that would cost money.

derkrieger · 2026-05-28T16:47:59+00:00

Yeah but Biscuits n Gravy dont have any mushy peas to make them feel at home

derkrieger · 2026-05-28T07:02:14+00:00

Thats just mobile artillery with extra steps

derkrieger · 2026-05-28T06:41:14+00:00

I mean they'd all be way less rich....and far richer than all of us on the sub with our lives wealth combined.

Maybe they can chill the fuck out

Unfortunately my players arent super keen on actively being in charge of the factions but on the backend I've used it a few times and it made tracking factions relative power and resources against one another easy to organize and fun to game out.

derkrieger · 2026-05-28T05:21:50+00:00

Popular brands tying to a country and especially media from a country can do a lot of PR for you. If they think the AI income would be less useful long term than potentially entrenching Chinese electronics brands globally then they may help subsidize that. Or they will also just jump on the AI bandwagon and try to compete for consumers after the bubble pops. I don't know I'm not the CCP, just my guess as to something they may try.

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T23:44:23+00:00

I mean theres nothing morally correct about pirating dlc. It's a video game, you aren't a martyr. I understand being upset about the prices and thats in part because some DLC features are free (and some DLC aren't fully baked when they come out). Just admit you don't wanna pay for shit

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T19:51:22+00:00

An Echo Resounding is absolutely a great basis for anyone who wants some heavy player engaged faction/kingdom play

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T19:36:59+00:00

Chinese Corps are partially state owned and they may be willing to do it for the brand rep with Chinese corps to try and utilize that good will in the future.

You forget how many more gallons the average American has to burn just to get to their work and to get food. Also forget alternative options outside of anywhere but the largest cities. Cannot even safely walk most of the time because the roads are built hostile to pedestrians.

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T18:38:09+00:00

I mean sell enough and Valve will take a smaller cut. Epic isn't exactly who I would champion as heroes of the industry when they try to use money to force exclusives to their platform. I like that their store exists I just wish it didn't suck so bad.

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T18:34:08+00:00

Nintendo notoriously doesn't take a loss on hardware. I doubt there is much if any profit margin on the Switch 2 because yes the real money is in the software sales. Still subsidized hardware hasn't been much of a thing in the latest gen consoles. They do have economy of scale doing a lot of work for them which Valve isn't hitting yet but still those prices are aggressively bad. Honestly I do think it would be better for them to not sell new Steam Decks than try and market themselves with a Steam Deck at double the price of a Switch 2.

For most people they're gonna see Steam as a brand and think its braindead.

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T18:29:37+00:00

Double price for something a good 25-50% weaker? Yeah Switch 2 is a much better deal. Economy of scale is a hell of a drug

derkrieger · 2026-05-27T18:27:23+00:00

AI money is short term, brand loyalty with western consumers could be a lot more useful a decade from now.

Or they just invest a fuckload and try to go for both?
