Part of the problem is much of the fun, for me at least, is discovering the tech tree, exploring the "world," and learning the shortcuts/tricks to optimize production. Once I've done that it's really hard to go back and replay even if they've made major improvements over time. I've already...

I agree with Tuco's assessment although I'd be curious what his end-state satisfactory might look like comparable to his dyson science world. He blew right by the "mission accomplished" achievement and started counting his science production in exponents.

Even if you fully embrace firearms it's just so much easier to buy ammo than make it. One black marketer kill drops enough gold for 100 rounds. You could also also argue the cost of pal spheres pushes people into breeding although the capture rate bug and inherited traits are bigger factors.

There isn't really anything that requires multiple production steps, which is good because I don't think pals can collect finished products. The only exceptions that I run into are pal fragments in the crusher and flour. Those are easy enough to make a thousand at a time and collect to keep...

The breeding pits of EQ and WoW gave most FoH members Artisan, Swift, and Work Slave. Some also got destructive, masochist, and unstable.

And their normal locations respawn so you don't accidentally fuck up the world?

I've seen people talk about capturing vendors and using them as personal vendors. I've accidentally captured humans before but just sold them. How do the vendors work? Do you need them in your party or can you put them at your base and buy from them. I'm assuming they have no work suitability so...

I like Vanwyrms because they're flying lvl 3 transporting and their only other skill is kindling. They don't get distracted by anything else and don't seem to get stuck on geometry too much. I think they're also the smallest food consumer of the lvl3 transporters. A mix of Anubis and Vanwyrm in...

Bushi + cinnamoth = Anubis. Would normally be tougher since bushi are on volcano island except they kindly put a low bushi boss in the intermediate area.

I wonder if the original plan, or maybe future plan, is to have food specific to certain classes of pals. That would make multiple food pouches somewhat useful. Either that or the extra pouches are supposed to be for medicine. I'll admit I've done nothing with the medicine table beyond making...

So what you're saying is you want a Palworld Rimworld crossover and see how fucked up you can make your pals while still maintaining a functioning base.

Quick visit to the cooking pit and merchant and it looks like salad might be an acceptable cash farm. Sells for 120 and only needs lettuce and tomatoes so easily sustainable. Basically the same price as ammo and half enough for HQ oil. I might plant another plot each and just use that.

I haven't tried it yet but I hear you can double your drops by capturing, which drops loot, then butchering, which also drops loot. With the inconsistent success of capturing it feels like more hassle than it's worth but I guess it's an option.

Yea, I've been hitting the merchant but I'm not sure that's sustainable. Either I murder for oil or I almost murder for capture/sell/buy so it's basically the same. I guess I could try mass producing something sustainable in my base and sell that. Haven't explored that side of the economy yet...

I'm hopeful pal xp is something tweaked or changed going forward. My guess is the developers didn't anticipate how much breeding players would do and thought most people would use captured open world pals that didn't need as much leveling. Others have mentioned it but some kind of training pit...

The only "breeding groups" I've seen is you must have one male and one female, otherwise you can breed anything together. You can take a Lamball (the weakest pal) and breed it with a Jetragon (the "strongest") and you'll get a Petallia. It just averages the strength value of the two parents and...

Yeah, if they ever allow more than 3 bases I think I'd put breeding all by itself on an empty beach. At least until they make some method for assigning pals better than trying to pick them up as they're running to some random rock or tree or whatever without accidentally clicking your pal bench...

The breed will be the same. Every pal has a value and when you breed them it's basically the average of the two parents. What will be different is the passive traits. They like to inherit from their parents which is how you can breed lucky legendary things but even then it's random and you can...

I think part of the problem is you can find huge eggs in newbie areas combined with low risk exploration of egg areas. It didn't happen to me but there's videos of people getting an Anubis on their first hatch off a beginning area huge rock egg. We can wish there was more overland danger to slow...

Opening ceremony for the Olympics one of the rowers talks to Jessie Owens, but that's about the only black in the film. It's your typical working class work ethic turns into sports success movie but I enjoyed it. If nothing else they didn't blackwash any of it although I'm sure some micks or...

It has all the realism and logical consistency of a good 80s/90s Schwarzenegger or Van Damme movie. I know we've been spoiled by Wick and other recent stuff but if you enjoyed those old action flicks there's no reason you can't enjoy this as well.

Don't know how army works but AFOSI had different grooming standards to facilitate undercover work. That's a common Hollywood mistake though. I cringed more at the O club fight. They could have kept the exact scene and just called it random dive bar.

Only Neagley and Reacher are back from s1. The love interest this time is a similar arc; questionably good looking when first introduced in uniform but gets better with her hair down. Definitely more violent with Wick level kill counts. I guess he can be more violent when set in NYC vs small...

I'm with Tide27 on this; an expanded playoff diminishes not only the regular season but several of the conference championships too. Next year, if the situation is the same, does a Alabama-Georgia conf championship game even matter? They're going to be top 8 seeds no matter so there's no home...

You could make a strong case for this if you only look at who your one loss was to. Any logic that has Bama jumping Texas would also have Georgia jumping Bama. I think it's the least likely scenario given their lack of quality wins but it would be hillarious.

Eternals was in that first wave of theater releases after Endgame and covid before people saw the downward trajectory. It's hard to compare Eternals and Hulk because of their position in the MCU enthusiasm timeline.

I have. The show, and the books are underrated. I was reminded of them the other day when lazy fuck GRRM said he can't write as fast as Cornwell. No one can, but there's plenty of room between multiple books a year and none for a decade.

We can joke about this but I'd bet over 97% of Americans have no clue about anything Waterloo and 2% think it's an ABBA song. European history education was already on the decline 30 years ago and it was all but gone from my kids curriculum except when they voluntarily took AP Euro and...

I honestly couldn't tell you what Momoa's politics are but that's a good thing. He's a perfectly acceptable Aquaman who won't get accused of brown washing a character. Women love him. No matter how crazy you know Amber is she's nice to look at in a skin tight suit. If Aquaman 2 fails it will be...

If you pretend the last space elevator shipment is you leaving the planet it's basically the same. Before I quit, which was before native blueprinting, I ended up using a save editor a bunch since it was much easier to scale up in an editor than in game. If I fire it up again I'm probably most...

I like fresh cranberry sauce but when it comes to thanksgiving dinner I prefer the canned jelly. I think the flavor is correct and it's much easier to get the right amount of tart vs whole berry chunks. Take a little with the knife, spread it on the bite like butter, and enjoy. That said, I'm...

I thought it was fairly obvious they solved the "ran out of pym particles" otherwise how did Quantumania happen. And even if not, just steal them from the 70s like they did in the first place.

Along those lines, did the ability to time loop using antman tech go away? What's to stop the avengers from pulling a Loki and looping a million times until they "win"? I guess that's why they have to push multiversal threats so you can't just prune them before they're born.

Casting director was told hire a yellow superman and took it literally.

It's been a long time since I've played and every time I see an update here or on Steam I'm tempted to fire it back up since I really enjoyed it the first time. For me the decision to use trains vs belts came down to scaling. Even if you think you're making your belt network big enough it won't...

They could have a Deadpool 4th wall break recap of overarching plot stuff in whatever PG movie follows it to catch everyone up if they're worried about it. Honestly though, whatever viewers they lose from the R rating seems negligible to the numbers they lose from the overload of mediocre film...

I didn't particularly like IM3 but I never felt like it was a poorly produced film. I don't like what they did to the Mandarin but change his name to Bin-Laden or something and the concept of a puppet social media bad guy is mostly sound. Extremis fits the formula for IM bad guy; disgruntled...

You're probably half right. Falcon will fail but instead of Bucky he'll give the shield to the Korean War super soldier's grandson creating Patriot for the Young Avengers.

Bucky got the Soviet super serum plus his iron man tier arm. He wasn't powerless. If anything black cap is less power than falcon cause he gave up his tech suit/wings and drone.

Completely unrelated; family was playing trivia and I got "name of Hogwarts janitor." A little bit of stress as I tried to remember if he really was Filch or I was going to embarrass myself.
