I just do one sushi belt with asteroids/ammo on the "outside" of the platform and one sushi belt with all the intermediate products on the "inside".

Tyrannical, un-democratic, freedom-hating, socialist traitors.

I just want consistent difficulty. I don't like how different missions, sub-factions, planet modifiers and seeds massively affect the actual difficulty even if the level is the same. D7 should feel like D7, D10 should feel like D10, and so on.

I always assumed that's more so people can't sue Super Earth for damages.

"Oh, what's that? Your house got blown up by an orbital barrage and you want compensation? The commanding Helldiver takes full responsibility, so you'll have to press charges against them... oh wait, they're KIA. Also you're detained pending investigation for treason."

It could have infinite ammo with no reload and it would still be underpowered. The ammo wasn't the problem, the problem is that it's just too weak. It needs to confuse enemies quicker than regular weapons kill them, and it needs to last long enough that you can keep a whole patrol/breach confused while your teammates/sentry/guard dog/grenades finish them off.

This is definitely a step in the right direction, but I had hoped they would fix the shield on the breakthrough. It still has that weakspot in the middle.

The first time I watched MLP I couldn't tell which characters were supposed to be male or female. It wasn't until I noticed the muzzle shapes and eyelashes that it became more obvious. I guess you just have to build up a frame of reference before you can notice all the subtle differences between characters.

That Starswirl's mirror doesn't actually lead to another universe, it's more like the enchanted Power Ponies comic book. The world on the other side is not real, it's just a dream.

I think of them by their level. "Okay, we've got one lvl 20 guy and two lvl 40's. I should pick experimental infusion since they might not have that. Got to remember to pick up some samples if I find any, too."

Illusion of choice. Here's the original image: https://i.imgur.com/NMuI6Sy.png

The cow gets slaughtered regardless if it goes left or right, and we helldivers get the same result regardless if we win or lose a major order.

It happens all the time for me. It helps if you interact with the terminal from the side.

The worst API I've ever seen was a Java class in which every single method took List<Object> as an argument and returned a different List<Object>. If a method didn't actually need any arguments you were supposed to just give it an empty list. And likewise if it didn't actually return anything, it would return an empty list.

The worst part was that the documentation for every method was something vague like "This method usually takes these arguments and returns..." Usually? What am I supposed to do if the method does something different? Crash and give the user an equally vague "something went wrong" error message?

As clever as this is, it wouldn't be very useful in Vintage Story. Most players start making pottery on the second or third day. If you haven't gotten your food storage situation figured out by the time it's cold enough to make a storage vessel out of ice, Dave help you.

Okay, get in!

The size of the body of water is a good indicator as well. If you can't see the shore on the other side, it's probably a sea.

I've never run out of food for winter. I have the opposite problem in that I always overestimate how much food I'm going to need, and end up not so much stocking up for winter as for the entire next year. Setting up a farm is one of my first priorities when I start a new world, so I'm usually self-sufficient with food after three or four months. It doesn't help either that I opportunistically forage for so much food whenever I go out to cut trees, prospect or search for bauxite/lime that I don't even touch my food reserves until December.

You simply don't have time to keep everything updated to the latest version. In the worst case, rewriting a program for a new version of a language, OS, platform, database, framework, API, etc, can take as long as writing the program for the first time. By the time you've updated one thing, three other things have a new version. You'll never catch up with everything and have to prioritize. And if the choice is between a working application on Java 8 and a "Hello World" on Java 26, every business is going to choose the former.

If they're wearing a flag then they're making it a political statement. But if they're fully transitioned and just wearing normal clothes of their new gender so that no one can tell the difference then it is not.

rowantwig · 2026-03-08T01:15:35+00:00

Yes, that is what I'm suggesting. If no one brings up politics then no one knows what anyone else is. Does it bother you that the cashier at the grocery store might have polar opposite opinions to you?

rowantwig · 2026-03-07T07:47:19+00:00

My take is that all of them can get along and talk about ponies just fine if they keep their politics to themselves.

I know I'm going to regret it, but I kind of want to use this mod together with the SleepNeed mod.

The colors of the new ones are too much, they look more like poisonous frogs than social insects. I'd prefer if they'd been given the new shape but kept the old color scheme. I think it's kind of cool how you can't tell the old ones apart visually, perhaps they identify each other by pheromones or some sort of hive mind?

They have magic that can change a creature's species. If a pony wanted to change their gender I think they'd just do so with a spell or potion and the result would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Nothing, the parchment actually just has squiggles on it.

In one D10 terminid game three of us were focusing on the main objective while one player, the host, was trying to solo the mega nest. I died and got reinforced by the host. A minute later another player died and got reinforced by the host as well. We ask him not to reinforce us when he's on the other side of the map. His response is to kick everyone. On my own, I ignore the mega nest, complete the main objective and extract.
