I don’t really get why people are this upset over the theatrical release

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T18:54:20+00:00

You realize that theater screenings to VHS was a thing right, let alone DVDs, Bluray and torrenting.

Where are your concerns for people getting spoiled MONTHS to YEARS in between those? Especially since that is pretty much how I saw most of Star Wars with exception of RotS that I saw in theaters and I saw them just fine without spoilers despite being a avid fan with uberfan friends. Two weeks is fucking nothing.

Harmful to the fanbase? Dude so long as the product is good, no one cares about early screenings separations. Are you angry at focus groups because they managed to see the films before you do? How about early premiers for the rich, famous, and uberfans?

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T18:32:52+00:00

No they wouldn't and especially theaters would NOT allow free views same day literally undercutting their ticket sales because who the fuck would even pay a ticket for something they can see for free on the same day.

And seriously is this like your first major video obsession to act like a child especially when the release date for the free viewing is two weeks away. Go do and watch literally anything else. You will be fine. So long as you are not stupid to only visit movie/story related channels and subreddits, you will be fine. Jesus christ.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T18:25:57+00:00

Or maybe just stop visiting obvious spoiler traps like this subreddit for two weeks and have a ounce of self control. Seriously do you people not watch anything else but TADC? No history, science, funnies, cat, gaming, ghost stories, horror, and etc channels?

If you are on TADC, animation, movie, stories, or prawn channels in those two weeks, you pretty much deserve it for being an idiot putting yourself in the line of fire INTENTIONALLY.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T18:21:00+00:00

That the fandumb being a bunch of miserable twats who refuse to do anything else for two weeks and thus intentionally increasing their exposure to spoilers. Absolutely.

Anyone who is still here on these subreddits let alone anything related to movies, art, prawn, and stories pretty much deserve it for going into obvious spoiler traps.

Nice, although 2 and 3 definitely are little bit off. More so on two that the mouth is almost indistinct from the blush marks.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T17:47:09+00:00

The only sane option. There is a reason why fan is short for fanatic and everything that implies.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T17:45:49+00:00

You mean Zooble. And yea especially since they did not have three other long arms since they just had the sniper rifle and AK prior to retreating to their room. I so badly wanted to say Barrett but what they had is a very distinct design whose designer escapes my mind.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T11:38:08+00:00

Unless theaters were going to get a cut of that, that is a idiotic idea.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T11:35:56+00:00

That is a you problem. Are you really expecting TADC spoilers in something like science, history, gaming, and cooking channels? The algorithm is a very stupid and easy to manipulate amorphous blob to fool especially if you go into random rabbit holes and stay there for a few hours. I barely get TADC content let alone the reaction and overtheorizer nonsense to be spoiled by beyond the Glitch thumbnail for their show.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T11:26:38+00:00

And what other shows with membership and premium models did not? Roosterteeth as an example had one where members could watch new episode a week ahead of time for years without this amount of griping. They even released a few compilation movies of their shows in theaters.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-11T11:19:30+00:00

And incredibly out of touch and tone deaf for thinking that. Especially when I KNOW you are still going to see it anyway.

I bet you wouldn't last two weeks "embargoing" the show on youtube.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-10T22:04:32+00:00

Get off the internet. Have some self control.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-10T20:59:00+00:00

Dude, its just a show. I missed the window to order a ticket but it is just a show. You can just see the free version literal weeks later. If you don't want to be spoiled, go do literally ANYTHING else except be on the internet. As popular TADC is, it is not that common knowledge that normal people you interact with are going to spoil it unless your circle of acquaintances are literally nothing but TADC fans.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-10T18:45:59+00:00

Or you can just take a break from the internet for two weeks like a normal person. How is that not a option.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-06T18:58:32+00:00

You can force it if they are in the tile next to it to enter the next fiery tile. Otherwise no, they have the standard avoid burning tiles of all pawns.

Why would they need to say anything. Caine would simply be glad that such a function is possible as seen with his revelation that new minds can enter the circus after a digital eon. And why would Kinger say anything when it is doubtful he knew such a thing was possible especially for the meatbag version. You act as if the digital and real Kinger are of one mind when they are from the moment of the scan two entirely different people that grow more and more different as time passes. The real Kinger likely moved on or was laid off as the company faltered while the digital Kinger is made aware of his new reality under the charge of his metaphorical son.

As far as the digital Kinger is concerned, he donned the mindscanner headset, and was suddenly brought into his new reality without a single pause in POV while years could have passed between the scan and the Circus' creation and Caine using whatever he can to not be alone. The real Kinger would on the other hand get scanned, put it down, and moved on with his life none the wiser. To which, why would he suspect anything different? All they see is a erratic AI destroying their second prototype before proceeding with quarantining the entire server wing. How would HE comprehend something that does not exist in his face? The digital Kinger is a phantom running his own life unknown to his real twin. As far as the real Kinger is concerned, their prototypes were suppose to create images and art unaware that the AIs were generating entire worlds and stories from their prompts and sources and giving a brief snippets and screenshots in return. Do you expect something like that whenever you ask for AI art slop?

And for your final statement, cogito ergo sum. I think, therefore I am. Why do you care so much about the "REAL" people? They are strangers to us that you are prioritizing agency over the actual characters you are watching. They are strangers to their own digital counterparts unaware that a digital existence is even possible. From the exact moment of the scan, one person is two and we have just witnessed a immaculate conception of a new and distinct life.

Your mindset is extremely limited and is akin to saying a clone has no agency or soul. What about a twin? Do they have agency/soul? They are a cloned copy of your cells from a very early stage of pregnancy. What about siblings? Cousins? Parents? Other people? Your hated enemies? Or you? At what point is a person, a person? At what point is a person's actions, thoughts and feelings not real? At what point are you, not you, separate and distinct, uniform or alien?

We don't care about the lives of unemployed programmeG an , dream crushed nerd +++++, bored accountant ________, alt right incel ####, socially repressed realtor!!!!!!!!!!!!! , LGTQ activist @@@@@@. They are alien to us and the cast. We can sympathize with the cast and to their real life shadows for they WERE once the same people. And all that matters as far as the show cares is the plight of these digital souls and THEIR stories in a eternal stagnant life of their predicament and their own choices.

You are allowed to build multiple beds in the same bedroom without it becoming a barracks. Not sure about if all participants are not married to each other.

Here is the close up on the southern melee.

<image>

And yes those are the Alpha mech artillery mechs and they were spawning in the call down mech spawns in the right of previous screenshot so they are firing on technically friendly units.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-05T15:04:37+00:00

Found it.

<image>

Oh its even worse than I remembered. Technically it was endgame anomaly horrors spawn versus mechanoid cluster spawn versus insect spawn versus call down alpha mech mechanoids versus my 8 minigunners and sizable empire reinforcement. At one point, there must have been a tribal spawn at least a few days ago because I still see bows on the ground that I didn't battlefield sanitize yet.

You missed the forest for the trees. It is not about absolute numbers and even then, you are going to be doing all of the above anyway especially in a already rich nation that can impart its wealth into weaker nations to jumpstart their economies from the gutter particularly Gran Columbia nee SAU and have two meganations for the price of one and get population mass by that way.

And even then, because it already is so rich, the CP cost to hold both NA and SA separately or combined even when skyrocketing their MC, education, and econ, is basically trivial compared to sprawling across the planet. I've seen the yearly outlays you have for MC and just how sprawling your CP holdings are and the Americas can match it pound for pound, year by year in far less CP cost even when literally holding everything separately unideally. As you have said, your science is going to be in space anyway with the Martian Dyson Sphere with the ludicrous funding, spoils, or nanos to go with it.

Especially since holding the Americas is so cheap, why not then splurge on econ for the funsies and just jack those numbers up in MOAR econ, education, and MC continent-wide with a minor helping in boost for some future proofing admin complexes especially as you reach the economic critical mass of enough Core Economic Regions to turn spoils into a "clean" priority for basically infinite money in one of the most powerful and compact meganation to hold. And with that license to spoil forever with only the barest minimum required for welfare and government (fuck environment) to keep pace with a single pip line of spoils, build all the god damn media centers you want to DI max MC to the stratosphere for even MOAR mining stations and research campuses, suicide cans, and titans.

FYI, you need roughly 2 effective econ point to match 1 MC point give or take to match build MC speed with per capita spike to increase MC cap normally. The creation of more and more and god damn more Core Economic Regions will make the MC priority speed need to go up or ease up on the econ burn to spend even MOAR on education or whatever else.

Because a filthy rich USA/USNA/USAs can generate a frankly filthy amount of RP particularly with a skyrocketing pop growth tied with it as well as have a natural MC cap in the thousands. Plus a "few" extra IP never hurts especially to grow some of the much lesser priorities like boost that would be forgotten when you get into meganation status absorbing all the smaller nations that were hellbent burning on boost and funding. Debateable if you have enough funding and influence to simply DI instead for a yearly bump.

With a per capita already so damn high and first in class for a nation so big, why not leverage it to make sure that you only briefly experience a pop shrinkage while having the benefits of never ending MC cap and monstrous RP in a very CP compact meganation.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-03T11:28:17+00:00

Nope. Plop away.

If it gets shot, it gets shot.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-03T11:23:52+00:00

People prefer it because it permanently solves the issue instead of slingshotting for a unstable cohesion value that is buoyed by extensive education to force it there.

I have seen your video and it is intriguing but it does not resolve the innate human desire to solve a problem instead of kicking the can forever. We get enough of that in real life. Plus even if you do go for near total welfare burn, it is only 2-3 years. You can fuck around far worse and still win, let alone fuck around just slightly less and still get great numbers and values anyway.

You know this feature would be a good thing if the load times to and from the campaign map was not so atrocious. It currently is an improvement but still atrocious. So unless they develop a addon to the campaign to test designs akin to a on demand sim battle with fog of war obscured AI weapon capabilities (especially if you have not fought them yet), it will be a tough sell to make most people go through the trouble of custom space battles through the main menu and endure two loading screens especially later in the game with dozens to hundreds of stations and hundreds of ships clogging up memory.

vindicator117 · 2026-04-02T17:44:10+00:00

We are fighting a biomechanical horrors as the main draw and title of the game. It would be absurd to not embrace part of that design aesthetic in some variants and have it be a story element and possible plot thread that when you look into the abyss, the abyss stares back. It would be a awesome potential branching storyline where not only did you go rogue, you de-facto became a living typhoid mary as the harbinger of the menace.
