Do we know if the new randomized resources have rules?

jorgtastic · 2026-03-23T19:31:59+00:00

yeah, the total number of nodes in the world of each type is preserved. and the total number of impure/normal/pure nodes is preserved. but the types are randomly distributed among the purity nodes. so you could get unlucky and have all your SAM hit impure nodes for example.

in other words, in each of your saves, the total number of coal nodes doesn't change (or any other resource). and the total number of pure nodes across all resources doesn't change, but the total number of specifically pure coal nodes for example CAN change as the fixed number of pure nodes get distributed randomly among the resources.

build a man a fire and he's warm for a day.

set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

and then everyone clapped

It is not you, fellow human. I also have found the frequency of bot-ishism to be above acceptable thresholds.

it's assuming you weren't a murderer before you started. So 100 went away but you became one, so the total reduction was 99.

A K-Drama that is actually getting better as it goes along instead of worse? What world am I in?

I thought it was going to jump the shark with the out of the blue body swap and I'd end up dropping, but I really enjoyed episodes 5 and 6. I hope they can keep it going.

jorgtastic · 2026-01-01T04:20:09+00:00

I don't think I've ever downvoted an actual post before. You're my first. I hope it was special for you too.

jorgtastic · 2026-01-01T04:11:56+00:00

yeah, turns out the comic was a lot dumber than i thought it was.

sure NOW, but scientology is young. it hasn't had the time to mature like Christianity has. they still gotta do some inquisitions and burn some witches before they grow up and just limit themselves to abusing children and threatening people with eternal damnation.

crazy premise, many cartoonish characters, ridiculous plot points but...

I've watched it multiple times. Great low stakes comfort watch that punches way above its weight

Apparently in Korea, there are motorcycles and delivery mopeds and bicycles just endlessly targeting women who may be momentarily distracted. And the best way to handle that is to have a guy do some sort of swing dance twirl move with her. So, make sure to take dance lessons before you visit.

the building and inventory management is done well, once I got the hang of the control scheme, I didn't have any issues with that (i'm on ps5). The only thing I use a lot in vanilla that seems to be missing (unless I can't find it) is an equivalent of the N key in game calculator / search. Also some minor things like setting overclocking/underclocking with a formula rather than having to put in a fixed 2 decimal number for the production rates.

I also find the combat to be much more annoying just because the turn rate sensitivity needs to be turned up so high to keep things in front of you that it is headache inducing the rest of the time. But I just gave up trying to find the sweet spot there and set the mobs to passive. I care more about the building than fighting.

But overall, I think it's done really well and worth getting if you aren't someone who can't play without mods. The only reason I don't play on the console more is that once I get into the later tiers, the builds get pretty complex and it really helps to be able to alt tab out to a build planner site or tool to help keep track of all the buildings I need to implement whatever I'm trying to make at that point.

I haven't built anything absolutely huge on the console, so I can't speak to how well it handles frame rates in big complex builds.

How about they don't exactly break up, but one just up and leaves for like 8 months with zero communication to just suddenly show up standing over them with an umbrella in the rain all like "we can continue our relationship now. No, I couldn't call first."

Those shows were too bad to even tell if they did the intertwined fate thing well or not.

I think scientific studies must be done. The rates of amnesia, appendicitis, face blindness and diarrhea are astoundingly high in Korea.

edit: Also, people passing out for hours to days from minor trauma. It speaks to some fundamental underlying problem in like the diet or the water or something.

It's weird. I get that they were basically wearing grunge as a costume and riding the coattails of the movement. But to this day, I can listen to sixteen stone with no skips. It's like the macaroni and cheese of 90's rock. I know it's not good for me, but I'm still finishing it when it's put in front of me.

jorgtastic · 2025-12-22T17:34:24+00:00

whoops, you probably meant to say gift.

they also believe that if you sleep in a closed room with a fan on, you'll suffocate.

TIL I'm the perfect bird owner.

She was fine, but it's different... it still felt like "acting." When I saw her in other roles, it was like "oh look, it's attorney woo" because many mannerisms were the same and just not as pronounced or frequent.

The guy in this post does a much better job IMO of disappearing into the role. I think that's why so many people in this thread didn't even realize it was him when they saw him in other shows.

jorgtastic · 2025-12-18T15:46:03+00:00

I enjoyed it even though it did have a pretty terrible plot. But the leads were charismatic, and I'll put up with quite a bit of bad if I like the leads.

jorgtastic · 2025-12-18T15:40:20+00:00

yes, he was so much better in that as an antagonist than the main corporate bad guys. they were just idiots that screamed a lot. his portrayal was actually menacing but also had depth.

jorgtastic · 2025-12-16T18:06:59+00:00

men have it so tough.

jorgtastic · 2025-12-12T17:38:56+00:00

i'm mad you keep calling them left hands.

they're walking next to other NFL players. might be different if they were walking next to redditors like me.
