The save the world plot is new.
I appreciated the capitalist / industrialist commentary that this is what Ficsit does: Drop a few pioneers onto a planet and turn it into a giant self-consuming manufacturing plant, like a bacterium infecting a cell, that feeds some remote market with hyper-processed goods.
Oh well. I expect it still to be amazing.
Can confirm Satisfactory_ has eaten 3000+ hours of my life.
I’m curious if the hypertube physics is still the same, since lobbing myself between sites, or into the sky to do surveys or climb tall hills smacks of Portal and_ The Matrix._
I hope it all still works.
The new Bacon Agaric looks nice.
Oh wow, this is such a relief. Yes, I just restarted and was dreading the pinch while transitioning from bio to coal.
It still may mean regular leaf-gathering sweeps just dumping them in the intake bin rather than feeding each generator individually, but even that is an improvement.
The opening scene to Apollo 13 (1995) features a party in Houston with NASA dudes as they gather around the television and Walter Cronkite announces as Neil Armstrong takes his first step on the moon. ( On YouTube )
I was not at that party, but I was at a party in Houston with NASA dudes as we watched the very first moon landing. My dad was a mission control guy with the black horn-rimmed glasses, white shirt and black tie, but Apollo 12, not 11 (Neil Armstrong) or 13 (the one that blew up and barely made it home).
I couldn’t walk yet, and I got that the space man on the screen was super important, but at the time I was missing a whole lot of context. The blanks would fill in with time, since the US was super proud of that moment. It’s my very first memory.
I’m trying to imagine how were going to get lions and bees to compete. I think all the lions want all the bees because they polinate the vert that their snacks eat.
And the lions regulate the animals that eat the plants the bees depend on.
It’s all good between lions and bees.
There’s a reason I no longer play Ubisoft games, even the ones I own.
This instance isn’t it. I stopped when the big sexual exploitation and harassment ring was reported and became news.
But when shit like this happens, it reminds me that I should have no regrets, even when I miss a specific moment in a game.
Sorry Ubi, you’re just too toxic for me.
What sucks is that they’re less inclined to kill you by deciding to murder their friend and more inclined to get frisky and underestimate their playful mauling strength and break you the way a kitten mauls a clockwork mouse.
Your big furry friend will eat you later out of respect (and hunger) but will also miss you now you’re gone.
Deep Rock Galactic Galaxy’s Finest!
I’m a greybeard with a crack crew but they get wreckless sometimes, and mining on Hoxxes is intrinsically dangerous. We don’t always make it back.
It took decades before Hasbro Easy Bake Ovens were marketed in the US in Yellow and Black rather than Mattel Barbie™️ Fuchsia Pink (💕) which is still the standard in US department stores. Curiously gender neutral colors started from demand in Sweden and expanded outward.
In the nineties, Barbie was built like only a select few Playboy Bunnies (Jessica Rabbit’s dimensions are physiologically impossible. A robot, maybe) and Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader action figures were ripped like He-Man (or soon-to-be Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Gender roles are (to me) extremely weird.
The problem is dominance hierarchy, which expresses itself as patriarchy most of the time.
But not always, and places on this earth exist where a matriarchic hierarchy is similarly asserted.
Obligatorily, no war but class war.
…and a forgone conclusion (a Shakespearean phrase) used to mean a conclusion that could be ruled out as implausible.
It raises the question. The reason begs the question has become acceptable is specifically because English speakers used the term in error often enough to make it common.
Which is to say, when the President of the United States uses the phrase …which begs the question… in a speech, or a PHD academic uses it in a thesis in 2024, it’s fine. But nineth-grade grammar teachers all across the nation cringe when they hear it.
I meant similar to Joan of Arc, in that she chased the English out, but I’d be much happier for someone who wasn’t a religious saint.
For now, it’s Mad Sweeneys’ day, more or less.
Recommended highly by Marie Antoinette. Allegedly.
Similarly, the Shamrock, (☘️) an important symbol for Saint Patrick’s Day has three leaves where most SPD kitch sold in the US features four-leaf clovers (🍀) an unrelated good luck symbol. I dont object because I feel Ireland needs a better iconic saint (and a better holiday) than the guy who brought the imperialist religion under which the native Irish would be subjugated.
They need someone like Joan of Arc who ran the English out (of settlements in France).
A proper Reuben features pickles, sauerkraut, corned beef, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Most restaurants will replace the pickles and Russian dressing with Thousand Island dressing. Blasphemers.
Don we now our gay apparel
And we’ll all feel gay when Johhny comes marching home
Deutchland is happy and gaaaaaaay!
we’ll have a gay old time
Gay refers to party happiness. Places where Celebrate by Kool and the Gang would be played as a reference. Places where people dance to disco. Places where the Grinch would look on and feel embittered.
For the first six months, I’d be very very sad, and that is not accounting for the additional shopping time. Maybe if I had a vegen chef to help me transition.
That said, my meat intake is probably below average, but I am a cheese junkie.
Begging the Question is a logical fallacy, a circular argument. So when a position brings a question to mind that is other than a challenge to its validity, it raises the question.
I only got good at Jetty Boot specifically to unlock the jet boots. And it’s the one mini-game I kinda resent.
Setrik’s soiled loincloth!
