Alright, Tuco, I've been dicking around in space and got my first cryo outpost setup. I'm also doing my first space science, utility. My setup on my Nauvis Orbit base is below. What I can't figure out is how in the fuck do you get even remotely enough petroleum to sustain that? It seems like my...

What you're skirting around here is Modern Portfolio Risk. Essentially, there are two risk factors associated with a stock; the risk to the company itself, and the risk to the total market. The goal of diversifying your portfolio is to eliminate as much company risk as possible and be left with...

Feel like that's a "News that makes you WTF" thread item. I didn't even realize the iron lung was in use in my lifetime.

Weird reading those patch notes and their comment about "weak points" on chargers. I'd tried every spot and the leg is the only one that ever did anything. Shooting spots that "looked soft" did fuckall.

We had a fun one where none of us could board the extraction. Leaving the area wouldn't reset it, either. We had to just ditch it.

Took me 70 fucking hours to finally get my city blocks setup and everything ready to launch into orbit for the first time. Got up there not realizing that you needed a fuckload of life support so I only had 30 minutes to mess around and I didn't accomplish much (next time I'll bring coal so I...

Nevermind, we're doing 5 (Hard) okay. Think we just had bad luck on the warmup round with volcano fucking us.

We had run some on level 6 difficulty (Extreme?) and had to drop it down to 4 (Challenging). Game got hard.

The big caution with this is you now have a substantial financial stake in the company. If it goes tits up, not only do you lose the investment, your salary is gone too. You get double fucked. If you had that much exposure to a single company that you weren't working for, you'd probably look to...

Nope, I did a K2 run for about 25 hours, and then decided I wanted to try SE by itself.

So I'm almost 50 hours in now and I haven't made any forward progress in like 25 hours. I've literally just been trying to figure out city blocks. I've got most of the stuff up to red circuits going, but fucking hell, I realized I probably should've used a city block around the processing ones...

Sounds like a shittier version of Drop Dead Fred. Which, let's be honest, wasn't a great movie to begin with. That's probably why it's a cult classic and not, you know, an actual classic.

At the end he addresses it. The game is confused as to what it wants to be. Is it a horde clearing game? If so, you need something to deal with that. Is it a souls-like, incredibly difficult game? Then we need to not get swarmed by fucking 5 chargers at once on top of endless loops of trash...

Oh, I don't remember him dying on the show. And yeah, I get that he's a pain in the ass. Sometimes you suck it up.

I'm just too retarded to figure it out. I don't know how long I spent trying to figure out how to set up a train station where it'd require that, say, copper ore be > 8k and for trains to go to the next in the network. Or to get it so my train would do something other than just drive around in...

More game devs that don't understand games. They're never going to achieve this mystical balance they're seeking. There will always be a meta build. Nerfing shit only annoys your playerbase.

All the stock market money flowing back into crypto?

Nicer sand, and warmer water. Less waves though. I highly recommend the Redneck Riviera (or Emerald Coast if you want to be more tourist friendly).

I'm 34 hours into SE and I think I've spent the last 10 hours just trying to figure out a layout for city blocks (thanks a lot, Tuco!). Now I'm trying to figure out how to actually implement the fucking things. I've got 6 technologies left running on the orange rocket science and then I really...

No Chevy? Disappointed.

I've been rewatching Seinfeld, and in the episode "The Barber" (season 5 episode 8), Kramer is getting a shave at the barbershop and the barber keeps talking about Edward Scissorhands. Kramer then goes "I wish I could have shoehorn hands." Makes me wonder if that one was improvised or if it's...

It misses the point I was trying to make. Post mid-90's, music became homogenized. Pretty much all of your examples, and basically all commercially successful music, is just lots of 4 chord progressions. Lately a lot of trap beats. It's boring music. It's catchy, for sure. But it all sounds the...

Song feels very 90's to me. Except with a breakdown.

I've made a handful of posts about it, but I'm really starting to believe the Telecommunications Act in 1996 is why we're so nostalgic. Because it allowed all the media companies to consolidate, it got rid of all of the risk and made everything the same. New music sucks because the record and...

I'm still pretty overwhelmed by SE. Almost 15 hours in now. My base is a fucking mess. I can't decide if I want to rebuild it to clean it up, or if things in the next phase of the game will make that unnecessary. Since I haven't played though, I have no clue. I made the rocket launcher silo or...

Market has been on a fucking tear. Over 8% now in just the first two months.

I don't understand what's happening in that video. Watched 8 minutes and he throws away a full house for two pair, throws away a straight for...two pair. What the fuck is going on?

Lewis looked like absolute shit on last season of Curb. I'm honestly not surprised.

My ADD got the best of me and I started up an SE game. It's definitely slow going. I'm 4 hours in and just barely getting set up (have iron/copper/steel on a bus and a makeshift red/green lab setup). No mall, nothing else automated. It's a shit show. I think I was about 24-25 hours into K2...

Pretty much how it is with us, too. I was fine paying subscriptions when there were 2 or 3 services and they were cheap. Somehow competition made the price go way up as everyone wanted a piece of the pie and then got greedy. I'd bet it's more expensive than cable/satellite now. Although I never...

It's amazing that it can take that long to fire someone who's so profoundly terrible at their job. But I guess spreading the message takes priority over profits.

I had it happen at least 3 times in the first week.

I'm not sure I have it in me to try SE. Krastorio 2 is fucking ridiculous so far. Although part of it is that I'm also trying base game stuff out that I never did in vanilla like nuclear. But there's just an obscene amount of shit. SE just sounds frustrating.

I just don't understand why you'd willingly subject yourself to the brainwashing that is Tiktok/Instagram.

I really, really like the orbital laser. If you're in an oh shit scenario, it's basically a reset. The only downside is the 3 use limit.

They're both dumb for confessing.

I mean, graphics cards are probably more valuable than maple syrup.

The fucking retarded wiring that a lot of electricians do, likely out of laziness, really grinds my gears. Our house in California had the stupidest fucking wiring I could've imagined. Just random rooms connected together, likely to save costs somewhere (probably to either save a single GFCI, or...

That was so much worse looking than I expected. Riddle me this, why the fuck would you cast Jack Black as Claptrap instead of the actual voice actor?

If you don't watch it now, you'll be wasting 5 weeks. That's how these things work. You don't want to lose 5 weeks of your life, do you?
