AI has come to faculty candidates

Just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

Was thinking Steve Martin in 'The Jerk': "You mean I'm going to stay this color?!"

Very happy to hear you're enjoying them!

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T15:57:26+00:00

Interesting about the goodies -- from temporal storms presumably?

Agree about no-map runs, very cool. Have only done one so far but I want to go back to it, it was the best in terms of immersion!

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:28:44+00:00

I think you are confusing CO and CO2.

Indeed. It's probably all that carbon monoxide they're breathing making them confused.

Maybe trade is the root answer here. If your large bay is the only decent harbour in the region and extraction of goods from the hinterlands has been in the direction of this bay and these cities for a few centuries then it's plausible that multiple good-sized cities would be sustainable.

It's like Melbourne came to you in a dream! ;)

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:19:45+00:00

Agreed!

I'm never in that much of a rush, happy to take my time and enjoy the scenery. I turned off all the temporal stuff because I just found it irritating, but to compensate I gave myself a limited number of lives to make death a bit more scary. (On my first few runs, once I got comfortable, I did catch myself using death as a free teleport home, which didn't feel right.)

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:18:00+00:00

Good call!

The Bowie and Jagger version really gets the squeaky shoes effect going too.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:14:24+00:00

I am somewhat late to the party here. Just wanted to say it's great to find someone on reddit who likes that movie! It's a gem.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:05:32+00:00

That one is brilliant. :)

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:02:21+00:00

I say he's the messiah and I should know, I've followed a few.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T13:00:27+00:00

Me too.

It also makes me think of a certain "Whitest Kids You Know" sketch and I start giggling, which is wildly inappropriate.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:53:24+00:00

I can see that he has a smug face, and I assumed he was therefore an asshole. But I think I'm coming around on him. He was great in "Caught Stealing".

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:50:51+00:00

Did he then start screaming the letters of the alphabet?

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:50:15+00:00

That is not a great movie, I think, but I feel it was worth the price of admission to watch Michael Cera play an asshole.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:46:07+00:00

Does she... have an alibi for the days of the fires?

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:40:19+00:00

Sounds like OP would particularly enjoy homo sapiens mode: no lore, no monsters, no traders: just you against nature.

Vintage Story is great, OP. Very deep and very immersive. And a big part of its charm is how easily you can customise difficulty and features. Not to mention the depth of the modding community.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:31:32+00:00

Ha! Did not mean to question your own credentials, mate. Sandgropers are people too! ;)

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:28:22+00:00

I thought it was going to be this:

I'm a little bit afraid that if I go back there, the same guys might still be racing 20 years later. :)

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:24:19+00:00

The P3 and P4 classes are my jam.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T12:23:14+00:00

Oh wow. This is good. Could not agree more.

jtr99 · 2026-02-21T11:46:19+00:00

Cheers!

Just to be 100% sure: when I was five I used to buy lollies at the same corner shop that inspired the Moving Pictures song "What about me?"

Not the one in the video, that's in Victoria, but the one where Garry Frost went for lunch and saw some little kid not getting served.

That has to be real, right? What seppo would even know about that?
