  • I agree that he’s probably happy with this incident (given that he only recieved a minor wound, that will probably be very visible whenever he’s infront of a camera. But his reaction of calling “fight” is prefectly in line with him being a very defiant person, who’s also very politically savvy. It was a perfect response, if you want people to think all political opponents are the enemy.

    And Trump also don’t lack for “courage”, if you can call an egomaniacs conviction that everything will always go his way that. I don’t see anything strange with it, given his character.




  • Those are great notes, thank you! It’s kind of a low-effort community though, I must confess. I figured if more people wanted to be part of it, it could become more serious with better formatting. Since that hasn’t happened, I just threw in some stuff now and then to have any content at all.

    Quite frankly you come across as a anti-feminist shitlord who has decided to be a busybody and make a whole community for you to be butthurt about feminist and anti-fascists mods. The reason nobody else contributes to the community you started is because you’ve set the bar so miserably low.

    But yeah, you’re right that might have meant I set the bar low. I was never much of a content creator. As for anti-feminism, yeah I am anti feminist. Not because I don’t support and respect womens rights, but because under the guise of feminism, men become second-class citizens, due to the unfaultering belief that women always deserve more, and that being a man is a sin that should be punished. But that’s not what the community is about. Anybody is free to post there.



  • They are useful for dummies like me though! When I let my phone run out of battery while installing an update, I thought it was the end for it. But it turned out that it had just bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it could no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.

    Solved by buying a dumber charger!

    There’s got to be some psychological hack to this for some people, and I envy them. Imagine getting satisfaction from having gone to the gym just to walk… Gym is already a lazy form of workout even if you exert yourself.

    Then again, the only people I see walking on treadmills are fairly in-shape young women, so it’s hardly an issue







  • Have you tried Nebulous Fleet Command? If so how do you feel the space combat aspect in the two games compared or contrasts?

    I have not! First I’ve heard of that game. Might check it out.

    Sorry for the barrage of questions, just keep seeing this game go on sale for like $8 or so and thinking “hmmmm”

    No problem with asking questions! I’m in the EU so I paid a bit more for it, but I also got it on sale for a similar price. For 8$ it’s a no-brainer. Hell, I’ll gift it to you if you DM me your Steam account :)

    How varied is the combat/decisions you have to make in your opinion? Do you feel satisfied by the diversity of combat?

    Combat is very varied, depending on your fleet and how it should be used, but tactically, you really only control the ship you’re currently ‘onboard’. You can give orders to other ships, changing their behaviours or targets, but the game is not really about tactics. My latest ship is armoured and has long range cannons that I’ve set to automatic, so I can hang back and blow ship up without moving, for instance.

    So you don’t control your ships like it’s Total War or Empire at War, it’s more like you’re an admiral who can give orders to other captains. For most of the early game though, you’ll probably do combat with just one ship.

    Like I said, give me your Steam account in DM and I’ll gift it to you :)

    edit: And to be succinct once again; this is a first person game foremost and a strategy game second, by a slim margain.



  • The ship designs are very central. You improve your ships with new gear, weapons and subsystems, but you also shape them to make sure they’ve got armour in the right places, that the guns have good firing arcs, and that they have important critical systems for what you need the ship to be able to do.

    But it’s also important to make new ships when you need them. You’ll identify your needs and try to create a new ship that can fill that need.

    The basis for your economy is mining and/or trade. You’ll need atleast one ship that can make you proper money, or mine the materials you need. So the focus is on multiple fronts. You don’t need to fight much if you don’t want to, but you will need to do some kind of business. That’ll probably be both mining and trading.

    The most lovely thing about the game is that you can both control your ships in person, and control them on a strategic level. So if you get a (or a bunch of) mining ships, you can make sure they do their job while you’re off hunting pirates in your combat ship.

    The focus is really where you want it to be. You decide! :)

    edit: and to answer the question more succinctly; you can make money from combat missions and use that to buy whatever materials or other thing you need, but it’s probably hard to avoid mining completely.
