Yeahhhh. It’s frustrating that it exists. Obvious bias to a comical extreme. Some fun (frustrating?) articles are about evolution, Barracks Houssein Obama (yes they have the middle name emphasized), and atheism

That’s probably something Conservapodia would publish not ironically

He has conceptually won a case

I’ve been playing Rimworld for many years and assumed a lot of the DF mechanics would be necessary in some small capacity. Like if I didn’t make soap, the dwarves would all get dirty and a plague would come or something.

I really really liked the world building aspects! Very cool to have a world with history.

I may try it again later, but on the computer

I definitely did try that! I printed out some flow charts and guides to help. Maybe it needs to be on the computer and not the Steam Deck (no hotkeys or mouse). I understand the complexity and tried to welcome it, but I think there should be some handholding. Like I tried to make soap, so I made a Soap Maker station. Then it needed ash and lye, but idk how to make those. I needed some upstream thing to say “hey use a charcoal kiln to get ash” or something. I remember another example was that they wanted cups to drink. I eventually found out how to make them, but the cups were put in a chest and not used :[ fml dwarves need to help me help them

I still get the notice for a new comment regardless of post age :D

Dvorak exclusively. This thread is the most I’ve heard of other people using it. To date, I’ve met 2 people who have HEARD of it, but no one else who uses it

I most certainly do mean Jedi Master Nebula :D

Watched it last night. Really enjoyed it but I have several questions

• Why did Osha and Mae actually fight in their old room? Mae saying “hey, Sol actually killed our family, not me. Let’s go have a civil discussion with Sol” would have really negated the need for a fight. UPDATO - Mae tried, Osha didn’t listen. Gave into dark side emotions.
• Why doesn’t anybody ever mention the significance of bleeding a kaiber crystal?? Afaik, this is the first on screen appearance of that phenomenon. A Star Wars game has this casually happen also. No character given any context or background to it. An episode in Visions has a control-z of bleed crystals, but they don’t talk about the significance. If what we have come to know as the Dark Side of the Force is just semantics, why would that affect a kaiber crystal?
• Who is the Stranger besides Vanestra’s old Padawan? Did they have a falling out? How did he turn Sith?
• How did the Stranger learn about Cortosis and why don’t the Jedi know more about it?
• Is Vernestra covering up some other stuff? They mention her headaches in hyperspace twice, but give no mention about her Force Visions while traveling in hyperspace *Why was “no weapons” a rule? I didn’t see any significance or context to this requirement. UPDATE - it’s attunement to the dark side of the Force. It’s implied with the Force Choke.
• What happened to that Nightsister who survived, Mother Koril?
• Why did people not like Yord? Backstory was insinuated and then he died without much characterization :[
• Did they abandon the search for the Force Vergence on Brendok? Vanestra and all the other Jedi were at the fortress where it may have been. But nobody really cared or looked for it. Was it the Bunta tree? If not, was the Bunta tree significant at all?
• Why was Sol initially driven to Osha and Mae? He saw some kids in an uninhabited planet using the Force, but he would have known they were too old to be Padawans. What would have driven him to discern they were the same person created by the Force Vergence upon just seeing them? If he saw that so clearly, why wouldn’t other Jedi draw the same conclusion?
• Why not more lightsaber whip? It made a 0.75 second appearance, once. Come on Vernestra :[

Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Stamets has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try

But think of the poor Shareholders (/s)

I’m a huge fan of Rimworld! Very excited to hear you’re giving it a try. It really can become whatever you want. There is an abundance of Quality of Life mods too. I definitely have recommendations if you’d like.

Ugh, I try not to :[ honestly such an embarrassment for the whole country that the choices are between a senile old dude and a convicted felon dictator

I’m old enough to remember Trump gutting the EPA, approving oil drilling permits, and reducing national park land and that those are considered all negatives for the environment :/

I’m pretty stoked this came up in my feed today. I was actually one of the players in that campaign! We played in a small, virtual group during Covid. I sent this thread to Garlic~

The coffee shops weren’t a big part of the campaign, but it was definitely a recurring theme. He did a great job world-building and there were backstory elements he added in for us. I did miss the Starbucks reference until it came up and I echo the collective groan we had. There were other puns and fun adventures we had in the campaign.

Oh DF is definitely a deeper world. There are a lot more knobs to turn (obvious or not). I’ve seen some really cool colonies and worlds. I’m just not very apt at building them myself.

Another comment made a good point that DF did come before, with Rimworld building on what DF made. It’s difficult (for me at least) to go backwards. Like I really enjoyed Baulder’s Gate 3 and tried the original but couldn’t get into it :/

The world building element in DF is so cool. Like the world is generated and aged and has history. Rimworld’s planet feels flat in comparison.

Huh, I didn’t know that history. But that makes some more sense. It’s always difficult going “backwards” in a game. Like if you play the latest in a series, the first is more “meh”. Respect where due - I appreciate that DF paved the way.

DF definitely didn’t feel as intuitive. A game like that needs a Weenie Hut Jr tutorial to introduce you since a lot of the mechanisms don’t make overt connections (to me at least). I remember some elves came to trade and I offered them a bunch of stuff but they got pissed off and rejected it. Some googling later let me figure out they don’t like wooden things :[ but I didn’t know that going in and it would have helped to know

I hear that. I did try to pregame and watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials before jumping into DF. Still had to Google a bunch of stuff. I remember feeling frustrated trying to make soap (even with a flow chart). Like I made the workstation for it but no soap came. Then I learned I needed lye but didn’t know how to make it. Learned it came from the butcher but didn’t know how to hunt @_@ a lot of those stacked and I eventually gave up.

I only recently got Ideology for Rimworld and am exploring that now :) lots more in the other DLCs to play through too
