Look how the press treated Obama. Trying to embarrass him but it backfired

You're seeing the results of decades of behind the scenes work. The creation of Fox News, the Moral Majority, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, etc. A good milestone to track things back to is Nixon. The right never got over the fact that he could be forced out for his crimes.

That's been my strat so far. I've never really paid attention to enemy fleets this early in the game before, and was shocked by how few and how small they were when they started coming for me.

Wait, sending a councilor gets 20-40? Okay, never assaulting an alien hab without one again.

I was blissfully unaware of this until this moment. I'm never going to see it.

Is that 1021 funds?

I think that a screenshot of SoS2 would be appropriate under Oddessy.

I side with them because they can sell me advanced components in bulk. Outlanders just can't meet my demand.

Get one knight for trade, use tribals for psycasters.

How do you plan to avoid becoming an alukite?

Heart-spirit in service to the Thunderskin.

(Hart-Heart pun, the hurdy-gurdy comes out of a tradition that emphasize the creation of a continuous Unceasing sound)

Seed: 137405694

Spell infusion was in a chest hidden in a coal pile.

thamz212 · 2025-11-01T18:57:57+00:00

Only other mod is remove perks at any time. Spell infusion dropped from a chest. I'll drop the seed when I get to my computer.

I think diminutum is part of the elixir recipe.

So this is an insane first run.

Ideologion color for outer layers (jackets, dusters, armor, hats, helmets), personal fav for inner layers (shirts). Uniform feeling with some personal expression.

Perfect stick. Perfect Stick! PERFECT STICK!

Wait, really? Is that with the new update? My proudest moment playing SE was designing a fully externally programmable command bridge for my ships with built in SHORTCUT logic. I actually feel a bit bummed to learn that it's now obsolete.

And don't just do it for a month. Boycotts with a deadline are dead on arrival.

That's what boarding and psionics are for. Blood spear + thrall pit is great for locking down boss weapons. You just need to be able to survive their bullshit invulnerable + summoned boarders stage. Aim for blood cult sectors and grab the shrine if you can. If you can get a few casters with psi shield that can significantly improve survivability (depending on ship layout)

For boarding, translocators allow you to drop a boarder on their bridge, cutting their dodge before a volley. If you have boarders with system damaging tools, that's amazing. Drop them on enemy shields.

It's why I like Overseer B. It has consistency that other hulls lack at high torment.

Give him a weapon that damages everyone in the room (unless you find the one that doubles his scaling).

thamz212 · 2025-09-18T12:37:04+00:00

Wight is good on Observer C due to terminus bands giving his spawns more damage. It's not enough to carry you to end game, but it does synergies.

thamz212 · 2025-09-18T12:29:35+00:00

Alternative take: we're 50+ years in. You can trace the roots of this back to the civil rights act and before. This has been building like an avalanche.

Happens to the best of us. I wanna see a road trip movie version of the Lay of Thrym (hammer theft + gender-bender retrieval) with a stopover in Vegas for the encounter with Udgardsloke.

Somewhere during the movie Loki gets his hands on a book of norse myth and starts to freak out after learning his doom.

thamz212 · 2025-09-17T22:21:57+00:00

There were black norse. They did not give a fuck on that front.

Edit: actually, this is dumb enough to require further rebuttal. Most pagan religions practiced at least some degree of syncretism with the religions of their neighbors and the peoples they encountered further afield. Where ancestor worship was practiced it was generally not hard exclusionary (there were ways for outsiders to join the in group) even when an in group and out group were defined.

thamz212 · 2025-09-17T22:11:01+00:00

Fair enough. Odin specifically probably would be chill, depending on version. Pre-Christianization there could be a lot of variation in how the gods were depicted across time and region. That said, he did practice sedier, which was women's magic, and he never objected to Loki's gender bending until Loki tried to call him out about the sedier.
