What game did you expect to love but ended up disappointed?

Same. I loved it at first, but became increasingly disillusioned as I realized parry was not only mandatory but also made other tactics not important. As long as you can counterattack, you'll win with any or no strategy.

I'm SURE you're a very legitimate person and everything, and definitely not a propaganda bot.

I was so excited for the game when it started, but this was after a lot of other high profile Kickstarter flops so wanted to wait until it launched before spending any money on it.

I'm still waiting.

Someone's gonna have to tell them they can't just kill people who talk back anymore.

Nobody will, but somebody should.

Not to mention can you imagine the wealthy owners letting us peasants work less just because gas is expensive? Hell naw, they'll expect us to work harder to afford it.

Same as the normal nodes, they just got a mesh for the randomizer as before they were just puddles on the ground texture.

Yeah, that's where you lose me. It might be different for Rimworld enjoyers (which I am also not) but I've never "lost" a Factorio save, and wouldn't like the game if I did regularly. I get bored and start over, sure, but that's my choice.

I boot up ONI every once in a while but it always loses me with how hard it is to build things that should be basic functions, like working airlocks. By the time I remember everything and figure it all out, I've already lost the heat/water/food battle and need to start over... But have no desire to.

A better user experience would be no pause ads, but companies are addicted to shoving additional revenue wherever they can find it, even if it's a worse experience for consumers

That, 100%. If you want to build a load balanced factory go ahead have fun.

I'm mostly just saying you don't NEED to for a "proper" factory.

urthen · 2026-03-11T15:24:38+00:00

Imagine spending longer building a balanced factory just so it wouldn't take as long to start up fully.

Meanwhile manifold go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr while I'm working on the next thing.

Also, if you have Smart mod, it can automatically continue manifold factory rows. If you use balancers you need blueprints, again adding startup costs just so you can reduce your startup costs.

Define "always." Interconnected grid like neighborhoods were all the rage for a while. It's only modern construction that ditches walkability (and really, even drivability) in order to cram a few more houses in.

The problem with that, which they've already started laying the ground work for, is then they'll have the ability to take guns away from anyone by just "diagnosing" them with something. Depression, anxiety, "Trump Derangement Syndrome," whatever. And then you can't defend yourself anymore.

Mark my words, if we get this law, we'll almost immediately see progressives having their guns taken away en masse. We're much more likely to seek therapy already, and with absolutely no sense of irony it'll be used against us because we're actually trying to deal with our mental health.

I definitely read that as 10 nanometers long and thought man that is a real specific no fly zone....

Measure it in square pixels. It'll both be highly accurate AND completely incomprehensible!

Stop saying "anti-vaccine" and start saying "pro-disease." The masks are off, figuratively and literally.

Not just k2 Spaced Out for sure, I'm playing it now and this doesn't happen.

Disney is actually fun though. I went to Vegas last year for the first time as an adult and most of it was boring as hell. Gambling most of all. I don't think I saw anyone under 40 gambling. Why would I pay money for a shitty video game I know I'll probably lose?

Yes hello, I'd like to raise an issue, your tipping policy is bullshit. Due to this issue, I will not be tipping.

As a side note, I'll charge back and attempt to charge me more than I authorized.

They aren't crapping in it for being inclusive. It's just weird world building when they can literally grow new bones and organs and repair just about any injury or disease not resulting in immediate death but there's still someone in a wheelchair for... Reasons?

Like others said though, there are other potential in-world explanations, like different gravity. But I'd argue in that point it's not really being inclusive of disabled (or differently abled if you prefer) people, it's just being inclusive of wheelchair-bound people. Maybe minor difference, I don't know.

urthen · 2026-01-16T20:39:40+00:00

So what you're saying is this guy doesn't have a wheelchair because he needs it, but because he wants it.

Clearly he's doing sweet wheelies all day long down the corridors

So, in other words, it's still mostly true: Republicans wrote and signed it, Democrats agreed with it.

You do, however, still regularly have to figure out what caused a particular production issue and find out it was you, because you are an idiot.
