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?

Seriously. I like Blanchett too, but she's a terrible miscast here.

They get your money and never even have to release the game officially.

Guns, Nerds and Steel (he got me playing some of the overhaul mods like Undead Legacy and Darkness Falls) is a hardcore 7 Days player. I'd say if he's not keen on it, it's probably not worthwhile.

It's a shame I "wasted" 6 weeks not watching this show.

Not only that, but you can see from the trailer it's the same little orb things that they put in a trash can on the back of the truck. That's why I said this looks like a remake and not a sequel. It's quite sad.

Yeah, I completely forgot about the expansion. Didn't realize it was basically adding space. How crazy is K2 just by itself? In messing around it seems like it uses weird card things for research. But other than that I haven't messed around with it at all. I've noticed with vanilla I just make...

There's not really any meaningful progression. There are levels that unlock more things, but most things are all side upgrades and not actually getting more powerful. And you can buy different weapons and strategems (things like airstrikes or turrets) but once again, they're not necessarily more...

Not sure anyone other than @Tuco plays modded Factorio, but I loaded up Space Exploration and Krastorio 2 and had no fucking clue what I was doing. I hadn't played since December 2020 as I mentioned in the Satisfactory thread. Played for a couple hours to get my bearings before installing the...

Without quickplay working, you're left either finding some randoms from discord, or bringing your own. Just getting into the game isn't super useful.

I really figured this was a sequel, not a lazy remake.

11am and servers already at capacity. And even if I can get in, can't matchmake. Probably not going to bother with this one anymore.

I mean, I think my group may be ready to move on soon if we're not able to figure this out. If you can't play the game, we're not going to sit in Discord just chit chatting all night hoping we all get through the queue and don't crash.

The only thing that makes me think it's not that simple is it seems like maybe the issue is with their coding and, specifically, calls to whatever database they're using. They've had to essentially turn off anything related to queries (any items, after map stats, literally all the matchmaking...

Turned the review off after the first 5 minutes and glad I did, cause it seemed like they basically explained the entire plot. But yeah, this was one hilarious. I think they nailed it that if it'd be released 20+ years ago, it would be a classic. And their synopsis of "punk rocker falls in...

Are they bugging out again already? Doesn't bode well for later this evening on a Saturday. But yeah, relogging when shit was bad last night gave me a few of the rewards (exp mostly I think). The other stuff only applied this morning when I logged in. And don't be jealous. Having a ton of...

Think matchmaking is completely broken at the moment. Whatever patch they did to fix matchmaking broke it. You can see 0 Helldivers in most menus.

It's because people keep buying this shit and supporting lazy developers.

Think something definitely went wonky with their offline calculations. I think we played for 4 hours last night, but at least an hour of that I think was trying to connect. Went from level 12 to 17, had 119 medals, maxed out credits (50k), and had like 430 green samples. There's absolutely no...

So if you relog (and are able to get back in), you get the rewards. Not sure if it's all, but definitely exp and a few other things.

Don't worry, @Mist has assured us this is all a giant waste of time. He's really doubling down on this. It's going to be like Robert Reich and his "internet is just a passing fad" quote.

Whatever good will this game had is going to go out the window if they don't figure out the server issues. Game is completely fucked right now. We were in, but no rewards at the end at all. Now the servers are at capacity and no one can play.

The opening sequence of the game was so insanely Starship Troopers. It was pretty awesome.

Seems like those personal missions are bugged, too. Have my own and the main one, and neither ever seems to update.

Maybe you're right. But even in that case, it looks like this: Not just a one off where everything plateaus and stays there forever. But AI is also different. What about when it surpasses human capabilities?

I just wanted to bump this thread because this video was in my recommended. Not that this video is special in particular, but he does give good examples of where AI has come in a year. Despite working in tech, we have people like Mist who just for some reason can't comprehend exponential...

Makes me wonder what next month's surprise hit will be. No one really saw Palworld or this having this type of success.

Maybe I'll turn AA back on and leave that off and see if I'm still locking up, cause some things look like shit without AA on. Been pretty good since I turned both off though.
