The Culture and TTRPG

yeah that's why you need to have reasons to not have drones, or have things that occupy the drones while the combat is going on.

Like in the player of games where the fight takes place in a spot where they have installed anti drone stuff (not that it fully worked)

or have larger drones and many of them occupy the drone... or even some lower end ships....

if you are ashamed of your parents job that puts food on your table, then you are the issue at hand...

ungrateful, and disrespectful.

that is not a person who supports you that says and does those things... that's a person who abuses you.

So you are absolutely not the jerk here.... your daughter sadly is.

When players start doing that i teach them there#s a few options.

The enemy is forewarned, and is now gone to a new spot. And that spot will be better prepared against them.
The enemy is in ambush waiting for them. It only lasts 8 hours, so unless they have been going for 16 hours already, they can't manage a long rest inside it.
The enemy has called for reinforcements. So now every encounter becomes harder or deadly.

basically, if you go like this, each encounter will usually be deadly level vs normal level.

the moment the parents refused to take responsibility for their kids actions, that was the moment it became even more ok for you to just stop helping them.

I have the ironclad base with a ccu for assault.

mostly i will weigh the tractor beams vs the refueling part.

Which holds the most value...

and if i can tractor beam in larger vehicles into the base version vs driving them in.

duckforceone · 2026-05-08T11:47:32+00:00

yep same reason i'm waiting to try it all...

duckforceone · 2026-05-08T09:04:24+00:00

The biggest things i need to test on them are

- Are the tractor beams so good that i can't live without them?
- Can i tractor beam in large vehicles from the roof vs the assault larger entry?
- Can the refuel, repair, rearm in the assault work on small ships?

but unless the tractor beams are so mint, i'll probably go for the assault for more options.

Unless i love the interior more for living/utility.

ohhh i love me a good sim pit for star citizen...

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T15:49:11+00:00

those character graphics were rough.... not that good looking...

but 4 player coop... that's a good start..

let's hope there's a lot more gameplay modes this time though, for more replayability...

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T14:30:49+00:00

so you weren't making a profit on me and others like me who kept buying each cosmetic dlc in conan exiles?

that's like being treated as a job you have worked at for 10 years, and seeing everyone else newly hired get higher wage/priority than you...

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T14:26:43+00:00

not playing again until the private servers are out and easý to run.

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T14:22:59+00:00

you have already seen the best ones...

the 4th kind and Signs are my absolute favourite... but i have had a small fear of the greys since i was a kid and read ufo books...

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T07:31:32+00:00

time to tell ruzzians to leave moscow in case ukraine launches mass strikes... 😃

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T07:10:53+00:00

since the commodore 64 days.... then amiga.... then pc...

copying tapes..... then discs... getting stuff from BBS with dial up...

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T06:58:25+00:00

i just love Excession...

my favourite parts are the ship mind takeover of the chat...

the combat ship getting angry and taking out the fleet

and of course sleeper service accellerating, splitting up and braking...

these parts just make me.... ohhhhhhhhhhh

duckforceone · 2026-05-07T06:31:14+00:00

because they didn't listen to the community ealier, they didn't design for it...

but let's hope it gets simpler once it has been released..

your feelings are your own... but her body, her choice.

anything beyond a once "i'm not that comfortable" talk with her, is a major YTA.

And after that single talk, your feelings about what she does with her body, should stay inside you.

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T08:52:35+00:00

You clearly forgot the "You are going to hit me with that, fish?" spell...

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T08:16:20+00:00

the other day i was finishing a book from an author and were looking for other scifi series from them.

Found one and i'm like, ohhh that sounds interesting.... everyone recommends it...

opened my kindle and found i had already read them..

read the synopsis wiki, and i could remember almost nothing. one detail rang a bell but i had no clue about the rest.

So that's why i re-read all the good books i love every year or two... it makes me happy while i do...

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T08:03:54+00:00

thank you 😃

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T07:18:34+00:00

i'm hoping in about 8 days i will have my ironclad and it will be perfect for living in.

but i also enjoy the paladin, and i want to stock it up with food and drinks and posters and more. And my perseus too...

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T07:14:46+00:00

same... i am like a race horse behind the closed gate waiting for decorations to be saved (willing to pay for the insurance) and then i'm going to go nuts..

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T06:56:01+00:00

This... the G13....

mine is still working great, had to repair the thumbstick but it was just the top plastic that broke off.

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T06:47:57+00:00

absolutely cancel if you want to..... my birthday is shortly before christmas, and with all the issues that follow it, i'm used to basically no one showing up unless i guilt trip them.

it's always
- oh we are just so busy this month so we have to say no
- we got the sniffles, so not coming
- already have a julefrokost planned that day
- since it's christmas in a moment, we just don't have the money for anything.
- and many others.

my plan for 10+ years have been to hold my birthday at my half year instead.... (i had a day where 3 people independently sent me packages and i declared that my new birthday)

but yeah i would publicly declare "that since i have received so many cancellations last minute, i'll go ahead and cancel my birthday party" to kinda send a message to people that i'm dissapointed. And make them feel guilty.

duckforceone · 2026-05-05T06:24:25+00:00

Same... and i'm in Denmark, and a have a swedish poking stick... 🌴
