    Stellaris

    I'm only playing on admiral, never seen 7k fleets that early but that does sound like the typical way I lose the early game. Last week I had 3 restarts in one afternoon after overpowered early aggression against my fanatical purifiers.

    Stellaris

    The rubricator? It should only kill the relic world colony you dug it from, then sit there in that system waiting for you to come kill it. I had that happen to me once, now I know not to do that arch dig until I'm ready to kill the dragon. It seems like a common event, I get it every second game...

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Just skip every droid focussed episode/arc. Almost everything else is solid to amazing.

    The pop changes have made nihilistic aquisition pretty good now.

    Kim, you grab the engine, I'm going to stand on the bow rocking my shoulder boombox.

    Invincible

    I almost choked from laughing so hard when he pushed his face through the train and people were exploding in gore all around him. What a great show!

    Disco Elysium

    I just tried to smash a trucks window with a crowbar, failed. Turned, complained to my tiny japanese partner that it must be shatterproof. He looked at me with intense disappointment, grabbed the crowbar and smashed the window in with one swing. Not emasculating at all.

    Disco Elysium

    Picked this up.. Interesting experience so far.. Haven't died yet although I have taken damage a few times from doing things I obviously shouldn't have. Apparently I'm a 'sorrycop' because I keep apologising to various people for the shenanigans I appear to have been up to the last 2 days which...

    Stellaris

    So I just enacted this: I had enough diplomatic weight to outvote every other member put together. Then the unbidden arrived in the middle of my empire. I managed to push them back to only 4 of my systems, and was slowly trying to grind towards the portal but they had broken out and taken over...

    Stellaris

    I'm not a stellaris expert (only on my 6th or so game) but I've had good success trying to rush strike craft cruisers, they seem to dominate everything smaller than a battleship to the point where it seems useless to build anything smaller for any function other than pirate patrol or fast moving...

    Love, Death & Robots

    Awesome! Saw someone playing Surviving Mars at 0:44!

    Yep great game. My 7yo and I have been playing it together, he loves it.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Maybe you're not logged in. I too am using the android app. I've had a spotify sub so long I forgot they even did adds.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    That's odd, I don't get adds at all. I also have a spotify sub.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I've been using spotify for years so the switch didn't bother me at all. He's had some great guests since the move. For example the episode with moxie marlinspike is one of my favorites, and the recent elon musk one was excellent. The journalist who made trafficked was also great. On the...

    It Takes Two

    How hard is it? Would my rocket league/fortnite loving 7 year old be able to handle the mechanics? As an example, he struggles with overcooked as it's too fast paced.

    Stellaris

    My last 3 games have all ended the same way, I dominate the AIs, federation, vassel or annex them all, stop the mid game crises, then pick a fight with the awakened empire, which tends to end inconclusively, then the game ends and I win on points. Awakened empires are so hard to contain because...

    Elder Scrolls VI

    Blows fans away with the 1.5fps too.

    Wrath of Man (2021)

    Promising young woman is a completely different genre. It has no action at all, it is a dark drama.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    I hung out with Dani Filth and Nicholas Barker. Nicholas was a gigantic bitch who spent the whole time complaining about ex cradle members who had left the band. So yeah I can't top Lemmy.

    Justice League (2017)

    Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder have such different styles that I don't think Joss could ever have put together a decent movie based on Snyder's leftovers. Most of Whedon's stuff has been pretty decent, he just wasn't the right director to take over JL. Of course he is heavily responsible for...

    Stellaris

    Still on my first game. I was way down the bottom of the power meter for a long time as I was focussed primarily on science and economy and had almost zero fleet. Was prepared to build one if someone became aggressive but it never happened. When I ran out of room to expand into I declared war on...

    Discord

    If you're dumb enough to do personal stuff like play games on your company computer you deserve any grief that comes your way anyway. I still remember the time a decade + ago, I was helping an employee try to find the photos from his camera he had imported and couldn't find. I ran a search for...

    Stellaris

    Just picked this game up, looks great so far. My first map, I have two close neighbours who are both 'fanatical purifiers' which I guess means it's going to get violent pretty quickly.

    2021 Academy Awards: why even bother

    Of those nominated: I've seen pieces of a woman and promising young woman which were both very good. I've seen the Eurovision movie which was bad but had it's moments. I've seen mulan which was awful. I saw the first 20 minutes of borat 2 and then turned it off.

    Forspoken

    100%, from the tiny tidbit of info we have so far this looks like the beautiful offspring spawned of warframe and HZD.

    Sports Entertainment

    I'd never been to a sports entertainment/wrestling match live before. Went to one a few weeks ago in the local league for my small city. Was only a tiny crowd, less than 100 but they were rowdy. More than half children. It was a great show.. there were two young girls, must have been about 9 and...

    Dyson Sphere Program

    Agreed, the combat in satisfactory was one thing I didn't like about that game. Quite a number of times I died to random monsters while out exploring far from home, then had to find my way all the way back to my death point to pick up all the stuff I was carring.. very irritating.

    Dyson Sphere Program

    The developers of DSP have said they're planning to add enemies to it. Whether that just means creatures you fight on planets, or enemy civilizations you compete against I'm not sure.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    So if I buy FF7R in the playstation store then it will automatically upgrade to the PS5 version once that becomes available or do I need to wait until June and buy the Intergrade package?

    Sails leave the swarm and join a sphere if there are enough frame segments.

    Dyson Sphere Program

    That sounds torturous and would use way more materials than doing it using railguns. Props I guess though.

    Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

    Just caught this.. Mesmerising is the right word. Beautiful movie.

    Dyson Sphere Program

    That is pretty impressive. You must be plowing through the research. I'm down to 15% materials consumed by miners by researching at 90p/m. How are you keeping up the energized graphite supply? 300 refineries running x-ray cracking?

    Dyson Sphere Program

    That kind of design only works for low output factories though because the 30/s limit of a single conveyor is a strong limitation. Very clever and works well for what he's using it for, although I don't get why he's wasting space and materials stockpiling conveyor/sorter/assembler mk1/2. Once...

    Dyson Sphere Program

    I have places where ILS fail in that they are shipping so much stuff that they can't charge power fast enough to keep all the ships in the air. For those I just have multiple parallel shipping routes.

    What did you just read?

    Just read Gideon the Ninth. Wonderful book, one of the most fun and original novels I've read in years.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Thought that was Cad Bane at 0:53 but on further review it's not, bummer. Anyway, looks good!
