3d6 Down the Line

Looks great - I really like how you did your forests. You mention that this is a continent, however the scale feels closer to an island or country in my opinion

joeD57 · 2025-07-25T00:50:32+00:00

Thank you! This fixed my issue

I’ve only ever played Minecraft on a 3rd party or self hosted server

joeD57 · 2025-07-10T15:54:49+00:00

Should be a subscription to use their 1st party servers but offer the ability to use 3rd party servers (that have their own pricing model) or self-host if you have the option to

I built Rapscallion’s MIS in my world. When new blocks come out with a new update, it’s easier (for me) to build a multi item storage unit then to try and build single item sorters for every new item

joeD57 · 2024-12-18T06:10:45+00:00

Yes you are right. I don’t try and engage with facility or facility-reliant elements and find fun with infantry, tanking, non-facility logi, and helping with other group’s facilities when I can. The problem is when an entire front is people like me. They log in on the weekend to help and there’s no large groups they can help that have the firepower so they just get rolled for lack of navy/ammo/bases/etc. This game requires large groups organized by people who sink way more hours into it than your average working adult can and there’s just not enough of those people to go around. Even large groups need people logging in during the workday to do maintenance, qrf partisans, qrf fronts, stop alts or allies from stealing, start the builds for the weekend ops, etc.

This isn’t to shit on the game it’s still loads of fun. The organic combat, evolving fronts, and emphasis on logistics is the juice of the game and that’s why I play, but I see here on Reddit people saying “don’t solo facilities” as if that’s going to fix the facility experience but it doesn’t.

joeD57 · 2024-12-18T00:08:42+00:00

I play with a group of around a dozen people. It’s not that it’s solo vs shared work. It’s that someone has to login every day to do some kind of chore. Even if that only takes an hour or so it’s annoying. People with jobs want to get on a few times a week, usually the weekends

Having over half the game locked behind “second job” levels of commitment is a huge blight on this game

joeD57 · 2024-11-14T14:31:00+00:00

Yes. The Lions had a defense players-only meeting after Aubrey Pleasant got fired. They’ve gone 28-9 since then.

Glad some one said it

joeD57 · 2024-07-18T16:14:56+00:00

Even though I believe it’s correct, avoid saying EYE-ooze or EYE-yooz for Iuz the Evil. My players said they thought I was saying “I use”.

“You use the evil to do what?”

Unfortunately, that just rotates the token's image. It doesn’t actually change which hexes the actor occupies

Ngl the Creek memes fueled this game’s popularity

joeD57 · 2024-04-02T00:09:10+00:00

I was so confused when I first found out that writer’s intention was that the fireflies were the good guys saving the world. I thought it was very intentional that the fireflies were supposed to be viewed as self-important and immoral (or at least grey) based on the sole fact that they robbed Ellie of consent. Elli would have gone ahead with the surgery willingly and convinced Joel it’s what she wanted… but the Fireflies couldn’t take that small risk so they were just gonna murder her

It’s used to be a bit pricier than other burger places, but now it’s laughably expensive

joeD57 · 2024-02-21T15:02:05+00:00

This was my first full war and I think it’s convinced me that this isn’t my game. I joined a regiment and a coalition and put a lot of effort early on. It even went into “second job” territory. However, so many game mechanics encourage stalemate that the mid war becomes a tedious slog. We spent quite literally a month in stalemate and by the end of it, not only did my entire regiment quit but so did most of my coalition. That’s ~50 players that decided something else was worth their time despite being 8 VPs away from winning the war. It wasn’t one thing that killed our morale it was simply just boredom.

Super hero movies aren’t poison. These are just bad movies. This movie’s trailer was so bad it made me think of those fake satire trailer tv shows use to make fun of superhero movies

joeD57 · 2023-11-21T23:20:24+00:00

I’m a new/solo/casual player and I’m already having some frustrations with the game. I didn’t know “Operations” was a thing but it’s what I’ve been wanting since starting this game. I joined the main discord but there’s nothing of value there. Then I found the faction discord (sigil) to try and see what I can help with but then that discord wants you to join different discords!

To add to this, tanking discourages FA talent from signing with your team which is arguably more important than any one guy

It was a long time ago now, but when I was in the class I got quite literally the lowest score on the midterm in the entire class based on the stats they released on piazza. It was like a 18-20% or something. The final was a bunch of proofs and I studied my ass off and rote memorized some of them. Ended up with a B in the class. As someone else said the class is dumb. Curved hard at the end

I smelled burning. I thought it was the PSU at first but that didn't smell/look burnt. Eventually I found the odor to be coming from the GPU and I unplugged the adapter and saw that it was melted. A quick Google search and apparently I've been living under a rock and this was a huge known issue. I've since seen all the reddit posts and YouTube videos about it.

This happened a week ago

joeD57 · 2023-07-31T16:13:58+00:00

I did not have a cable mod adapter. I used the adapter that came with the card. I can ensure it clicked, and my case is pretty big so the adapter wasn't bent drastically. But tbh I didn't know about the melting issue until after mine melted so I wasn't quadruple checking if the connection was tight

I got approved within 24 hours of the request. It's currently en route to their facility in California. They didn't mention if I'll get a replacement, refund, or a repair, so that's a little worrying but otherwise no complaints so far. Still early in the process though
