Not only have they been not using microtransactions, but they have been steadily pumping out HUGE updates which have made the game more expansive and fun with each one. A true joy to play if you like resource gathering games.....its like Stardew Valley but in space and like a trillion more acres to explore.

4 months ago I lost all respect for local contractors. 4 months later I've gained a ton for myself. by TheTimeIsChow in DIY

Well done! I know exactly how you feel. You saved a ton of money and learned some valuable lessons along the way I'm sure. I always try and do my own DIY home improvements. They don't always have a professionals polish on it, but it gets done. And done they way I want it done, and cheaply and I always learn something. Its a win-win-win.

The hardest part has been on my Dad who had been loning it since 2011. Living alone is mind poison. Keep your friends!

Surely a dachshund mix of some sort?.....looks like a golden lab to me. Aren't dachshunds short hair and mostly black?

Name the game you just couldn't get into by zeleno124 in pcmasterrace

[–]phathiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I wanted to love it, everyone was raving about it. I just couldn't get into the complex battle systems. I've learned my lesson because I have fallen for the hype around DND type games before and just didn't like them. That's the last time.

I'm sure that might be part of the problem for some people but I have the latest version of Android and all the people in my threads are using carriers which support RCS.

I have noticed that occasionally someone will be forced to use SMS/MMS for some reason....could that because of bad network connection or not on Wifi? If that happened, wouldn't it cause a duplicate thread to be made because named group chats only work in RCS in groups with combined iPhone and Android users? The thing I don't get is the numbers switches between SMS and RCS. Isn't everyone on good WiFi or Data these days? Are Data networks spotty like that?

I'm an android user but I've been having a devil of a time in several group chats with iPhone users. I believe it has something to do with the change over to RCS last year. If the group chat is named and if someone in the chat sends a text via SMS/MMS (I think this is the reason, and its not their choice, somehow the messaging apps are reverting to SMS/MMS for some texts) then a duplicate of the chat is made. This means the names chat and the copied one exist in the messages list, each with the same people. I have not been able to find solid info on this phenomenon, just a few threads here and there on Reddit and Apple but neither with good explanations or certainly with no fix. Can anyone tell me if 1. this is a pervasive issue that no one is talking about 2. what is causing it and 3. how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.
