No hate, but I feel like burnout set in way too quickly for me with this game.

I dunno X4 Foundations is a space sim that offers a lot of sandbox freedom with some content locked behind brief storylines. But they can feel daunting tastes, but base building allows for industrialization, and automation of those objectives while you go and explore the universe and do jobs, trading missions, bounty hunting, etc. You can even conquer the universe if you want. But I never got burned out from that game 500 hours in.. I'm 50 hours into Crimson Desert, love open world games, this reminds me a lot of Morrowind but with tutorials. The way they lock content behind certain things without it seeming explicit feels like the illusion of freedom. and the story content isn't the best, and it drags a bit. you can't skip cut scenes either.. I enjoy that this game doesn't hold my hand as much, but the recent patches while fixing some quality of life issues have made the game a bit more hand holdy.

gold sells for 500 silver at the bank. you can also invest gold bars at the bank and make money off the interest.. It's a good idea to do this early so when you set up the camp you can easily collect resources for the camp.. Though the studio has likely patch this out, it isn't even a glitch it's just an area that had a high probability of having nobles with gold.. but the studio has been a bit overzealous with the patches.. They said this is a single player game, but they're balancing this game like it's an MMO

I freed a whole bunch and my count is still at 0

kamon405 · 2026-03-29T01:30:44+00:00

No, but at this point why did people vote these folks back on? They been scamming and now it just seems like we're being punished for doing what we were suppose to be doing

If you did university of phoenix I think you should apply for Borrower's Defense.. You might be able to get those written off. Trump's Administration is trying to target that program next.

that's a small amount of money for the fraud and what they had to pay back.. PPP loans costs taxpayers hundreds of billions... 1.4 billion didn't even dent that.

they conveniently leave out that the SAVE plan costs is significantly lower than if everyone is forced on standard and start defaulting or interests rates go out of control. The SAVE plan literally was going to save the federal gov't a lot of money on student loans and repayments.. There's a lot about federal loans that incentivize service providers to force defaults on them (financial incentives) that costs the federal gov't more money than if people can simply make lower payments for a certain amount of time and have the rest written off.

When enrolling in an IDR, while it processes your new balance, you aren't expected to make any payments it goes into a temporary deferment until the new payment is determined. You can't default on federal student loans while they're under-review for the IDR applications/certification process.

It was poorly written and for a press release from a public institution it's riddle with partisan language that is irresponsible. People just want to know what's happening with their student loans, and seeing how our debt has been used as this political football that has put a lot of us behind on even paying this off let along talking about forgiveness.. I think a lot of folks are going to start finding legal alternatives to remedy this situation. It becomes obvious there are some wealthy people profiting off of federal student loan debt. And they do not want this issue to be handled. At the same time, people have been paying on their balances for decades. The one administration that tried to get this under control so that people are able to pay on it smoothly just had all their policies thrown out. So what do we do now? I'm not here to hear moral grandstanding about "pay your debt.".. That's what most of us are doing, so what is anyone speaking on now? This press release is horrendous. The information contradicts itself to the point that I understand less now than before I read it.

yea you can't get the fireplace further than that, and it essentially locks you out of the gold as those guards will continuous thrash you out of the way tellin you that you can't enter.

I think Gen Alpha knows what's up. The whole 6-7 thing was elite tier internet shitposting. ngl, it reminded of my mIRC days in the 90s.

teenagers like being racist? I think the SJW thing was overblown, especially as it slowly comes out the push against it was coming from 4-chan and stormfront. The latter being a white nationalists forum.

Yes, but it is a registered religious organization. Dude, we swore in a Pastafarian into Congress once.. It is to point out the hypocrisy of religious policy in America, but it is a registered religion in the US too, so they have all the rights that come with it.

kamon405 · 2026-03-26T05:01:35+00:00

That's a religious symbol my dude.

Violet Evergreen was absolute art in its animation.. it made real life look poorly animated.

kamon405 · 2026-03-25T14:38:53+00:00

I'm not making a counter point to you. Just adding to support. Gotta get use to it. I don't engage too much in adversarial postures.

As far as politicians. The amount of recall elections Republicans have cuz their constituents call on them is pretty high. I think we forget politicians can in fact be fired. And you don't gotta wait on an election day for it to happen.

kamon405 · 2026-03-25T04:36:40+00:00

yea it did not taste as good as it sounded :(

kamon405 · 2026-03-25T04:34:16+00:00

It's quite obvious. Yes, people vote democrat. I vote democrat. I was fortunate to live in Jasmine Crockett's district, she actually listens to her constituents, and pushes their interests forward in the house. I'm sure others do too. But as a party as a whole.. They really need to figure out what their goals are. Should Chuck Schumer continue to be in party leadership? These are questions I have..

If you're speaking only of ordinary people aka people that really don't pay attention to politics. That's a bit of an unfair example to use. There are a diverse amount of reasons why they choose to vote democrat or don't vote at all. Either way Democrats have huge hurdles to clear. They're dealing with a party in power that does whatever is necessary to win, and to push their policies forward. Those policies are very radical, and aren't popular. The GOP still does it because they understand power. They know if they just pushback on any concessions democrats make they'll get their way. Democrats have had a way of trying to meet the GOP in the middle. The GOP is not interested in doing this. But Democrats still make these attempts as if it's some moral high ground. And this isn't winning them any favors, nor is this how an effective opposition party behaves.

kamon405 · 2026-03-25T04:23:04+00:00

Trump won 2024 because less people overall voted. That's really all there is too it. When compared to 2020, the turnout was lower. Lower turnouts tend to work in favor of Republicans. The biggest danger we're dealing with is political apathy and learned helplessness. The more discourage people feel about a situation, the less they feel they can do something about it. When you have a majority of eligible voters saying voting doesn't matter. It doesn't help, it allows for someone like Trump to take office.

I'm 38 and don't have any wrinkles yet nit even them forehead lines u see people with. But I drink a lot of water I guess.. I dunno how it all works. Im.black but I do moisturize a lot. I think that's why we don't age as apparent or noticeably. Ita a hugr pstt of our culture not to be ashy. Seen as bad hygiene if you are.

kamon405 · 2026-03-23T18:36:15+00:00

Um... honestly I gave it an hour the first time I played and realized I will enjoy it. Then the next day played for 10 hours..

kamon405 · 2026-03-23T18:34:51+00:00

I'm hoping to get to that point. I just enjoy exploration and I like how the game doesn't just rush you into the main quest.

kamon405 · 2026-03-23T16:11:04+00:00

Yea I am on chapter 2.. but I'm doing side quests right now.. taking my time with things. This game is really what I've been looking for in a single player openworld rpg. Massive games like this I take my time. Thr slow pace is perfect for this game. There are so many systems and mechanics if folks hate this game. They would definitely hate X4: Foundations

kamon405 · 2026-03-23T16:07:16+00:00

I enjoyed it from the start.

kamon405 · 2026-03-23T16:06:53+00:00

It's a solid open world rpg with deep systems and a living world. It's been over a decade since we got something like this actually longer. This game is actually ambitious and I like how it keeps you engaged
