We've been really slow in watching this season because it's been...not great. I decided after the 5th episode that I'd give it one more episode to be funny. Well, I'm writing this mid-episode. I don't know what the fuck happened, but it appears the writers on this show forgot it was a fucking...

I more mean, their inaction is an implicit condoning of the emulators. It's not like they don't know about them or didn't have the ability to sue them for the last two decades.

I do wonder how the fact that they've let emulators exist for almost 2 decades will play into that.

My midgame base was here. If you're looking for a good spot, it's amazing. Aluminum spawns directly north, iron south (small desert crossing), crystals are a bit of a drive to the east and then NE to the basin, a ton of carbon directly east, a small bandit camp that spawns 1 or 2 (for blood or...

It's funny, there's a post on Reddit this morning talking about how they went to the one lab in DD that's in the PVE area and it was challenging, randoms joined up, and it was a fucking blast. It's got tons of replies saying "that happened to me too!" Well, it happened to me, as well. I rolled...

Market averages 10% per year. We're at about 4% right now. It's very possible we just continue chugging upwards the rest of the year.

Honestly, and @Cybsled has mentioned it a few times, you'll get a good 80-100 hours out of it before hitting the PVP part. It's very much worth buying. Hell, even then, my server is pretty friendly. I rarely see other people in the Deep Desert, and when I do, I almost instantly hear over voice...

Might just delete season 3 off the server and never finish it. It has been almost exactly a year since we quit trying. Probably not going to happen. I think this one started off with a great idea for a first season and then could never figure out what the next arc would be after "opening a...

Mentioned it a bit ago to someone who made the exact same post you just did. Just...go to Lumiere and finish the game, you've got like 1-2 hours left. Act 3 is super short outside of the side-stuff.

Was watching Clarkson's Farm and the closing song in the first season was this, and I'm like holy shit, what is that song? I honestly don't know why exactly I know this one. I mean, it's not obscure or anything, but still. Anyway, here's a Glen Campbell version instead of Mason Williams.

I'm hoping this isn't just one of those "the script adapters butchered the source material" and the actual thing wasn't quite this stupid.

Two guys I've been playing with haven't been on since Saturday. One hasn't even built an ornithopter yet, and the other is towards the end of aluminum phase and probably would be starting duraluminum the next time they get on. Neither have finished the Fremen main quest to unlock deathstills...

This is the reason I've never touched a TLP. I'm not paying fucking $15 a month to play a game over a quarter century old. Seriously...just fuck right off with that nonsense. Even ignoring that emulators exist and I can play a better product for free, there are multitudes of games out there for...

That was my thought as well. You've basically made it so the griefers only have to look in 5 rows instead of 8. Worse though, it seems like there's fuckall for resources anymore. I flew the entire length of I and H and found zero spice. In fact, the only spice I've found this morning was two...

That was fast. I was getting ready to finally build my DD base, guess I'll plan on having it way out in the D row.

Sounds like you're agreeing with me? Also, regarding your point above, Cyb, it almost seems like they could just remove rows B through D. There's basically nothing there anyway, why make me fly all the way out there instead of just moving the resources to row A? It also makes your zone smaller...

I keep seeing PVP people saying "you only need tier 6 for PVP" but this is ...not even remotely true? PVP is just scout ornicopters shooting at each other. I guess you could argue that you need MK6 copter parts, but that means all the other shit is useless. The way DD is currently implemented...

That's another failure of this end game system they've built. "We want people engaging in the guild content" and yet, no way to search for guilds in game. Cool.

I asked the same the other day about Landsraad. Nothing explains the system whatsoever. I think it's limited to guilds maybe?

Finally went to the actual Deep Desert (not just the wrecks and labs in row A). I've got to say, all my gnashing about PVP is misguided. The real problem with the Deep Desert is it's boring as fuck. Like, holy shit, I'd read about people flying a lot, but I wasn't really appreciating it. I just...

Everyone is dicksucking Funcom for these changes, but I'm still pretty hesitant to see how they implement it. They really want the PVP to be a thing, but the game loop isn't there, and they're still not talking about it. If you're a PVE player, there needs to be some kind of reason to engage in...

Our first base was next to the Anvil outpost. Then I moved to a much larger base at the border between Eastern Shield Wall, Mysa Tarill, Western Vermullius Gap, and Jabal (basically right next to the 7th trial cave). This is basically the very NW corner of your map. Recently built what should...

The biggest issue with PVP in this game, as far as I can tell, is it's objectiveless. What do you get from engaging in PVP? There are no PVP rewards. That means the only purpose it can have is griefing. They implemented a PVP as endgame system, but to what end? They mention Landsraad in there...

Probably because PVP in these types of games is always fucking terrible. And in this one the only thing it amounts to is griefers attempting to get PVE'ers eaten by the worm so they lose everything. I mean, on the one hand there's really no danger in the deep desert, so it does add some actual...

Climbing stamina over compactor gains?

Probably not super significant, but does anyone know where the fuck the access band is in the Hicetas shipwreck in A1? I ran all over the place and couldn't find it. I imagine it's probably got to be like that one in A3 that you cutteray some random shit to find it. I did both the access panels...

What can I say, markets can be irrational. They never should've dropped 20% from the tariffs either, but they did. Futures also generally mean fuckall in my opinion, but usually foreign markets are a decent indication.

Seems like no one gives a shit about this Iran thing. Futures are basically flat, Japan is basically flat, China is basically flat. Hong Kong is slightly green. I'll be glad to be wrong about this one. Although I guess we can wait and see if there's any reaction from Iran.

I mentioned in another thread I rewatched Band of Brothers a couple weeks ago. There's a guy that looks a ton like Paul Rudd in it, and it wouldn't be a shocker because even Jimmy Fallon was in that series. Turns out it's Elon Bailey, Jim in this show. I also happened to catch the tail end of...

I'm baffled by people that pay for financial advice. If anyone knew what was going on, they'd be so incredibly rich it'd be ridiculous. It's why I laughed at Brosar's "just buy winners" approach. Like shit, I've been holding stocks that go down in value like a sucker. I can't believe no one's...

Ah, that must've been it, cause I was definitely standing in the green shit. DD doesn't sound worth it. I mean, good for stories, but that seems pointless.

I had looted a MK5 Rad suit and that radiation still gets to me fast. Apparently I need to go farm some agave to make iodine pills cause not sure how I'll survive otherwise.

I mean, treasuries aren't the only kind of bonds. But personally I have 0% in bonds.

That's a good point, but we were at that point 4 years ago and we just kept spending.

I almost posted a response on the first post, that I bet she was fired for drug use, and then OD'd.

Holy shit, yeah, that was WAY out in the middle of nowhere. I get wrecks within like 200m of the little island my base is on, and even that's dicey with worm aggro. I'm 57 hours in (on two characters though) and never been eaten by the worm.

Yeah, you can mix and match all vehicle parts. There was a long writeup on DD that basically said using a MK4 Orni with MK5 or 6 engines and wings and shit would fly way faster, and was the best way to avoid getting ganked.

Is that possible without bankrupting the country? See the above post about how treasuries are almost at junk bond territory. Volker style rates means we're spending 50% of our budget on debt service.

Logged on this morning to grab some granite for base building, and I'm like, "what the fuck, did someone log on super early and snag all these nodes already?" Turns out, they're not static and I guess get moved after the corialis. I think the dew and flour sand might be static, but ores not so...

Yeah, I saw people on Reddit flipping out about how if you leave you lose everything. The hardest part is farming up that first set of shit and unlocking everything. If you start with all the crafting stuff unlocked, keep a cutterray on you and a weapon, it shouldn't take that long to get back...
