It's a link aggregator, so generating original content is not really its purpose.

Eh, it's open source, which intrinsically limits the power the devs have over the software.

A better idea about what should be done now. Everybody knows that things could be better.

Do you have a better idea, though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Yes. That's how the two party system works. Dems are still miles better than Republicans on the issue, and thus don't need to improve. It sucks, but that's the hand that's been dealt I don't see any better strategy to help the people of Gaza. If you see one, feel free to share.

A big question is, how many sales are actually lost to pirates, or, how many pirates would have bought the game if they couldn't pirate it. The answer is neither zero, nor all of them, but I don't know what the actual answer is.

The reason why DMR tends to get cracked is that the concept is inherently flawed. If the entire game runs on your machine, then everything needed to run the game has to be on your machine at some point. DMR is security by obscurity.

Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn't prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law's reach, you also place yourself outside of the law's protection.

Cars are far louder than most of the things on the list, only gunshots, airplanes and construction can even remotely exceed the level of noise pollution produced by a busy roadway.

OOP has clearly never played "Stellaris".

A lot of things about foreign policy are based on realpolitik, not ideology. As long as you're not in power, you can ignore realpolitik, and therefore can promise anything you want. Once in power, things are different.

 

In the mod "Save our Ship 2" I managed to capture a pirate ship. The large, red ship is the pirate ship, and the small asymmetrical ship is mine. First, the pirates send a boarding party using small personal shuttles. These landed spread out around my ship, allowing my colonists to gang up on the individual pirates ad take them out.

Then I send my guys over to the pirate ship, in an effort to take them out. I had them use the airlock as a chokepoint. The pirates threw themselves at my colonists until they routed. The pirates tried running to the edge of the map in order to escape. A lot of the remaining pirates didn't have space suits at this point, and I had lined up my colonists to shoot the fleeing pirates, so none of them actually managed to reach the edge of the map. Which wouldn't have helped them eitherway, because their in geostationary orbit.

This would be a lot more difficult if the enemy AI wasn't brain dead.

 

Marked as a spoiler because its a monster from Anomaly. The thing is, these things are not scary, because they don't have the AI necessary to capitalize on their invisibility. They act like typical raiders, meaning you can place your tough melee guys in a chokepoint, and they'll come to get their skulls bashed in.

It would probably be better if they instead acted like predatory animals, milling around on the map, and occasionally hunting one of your colonists. If they'd then avoid groups of colonists, while also always attacking in a group themselves, they'd be a truly terrifying monster. Basically, you'd have to hide out in your base, or go out to hunt them. And if you do choose to wait them out, there would be no indication that they've left.

 

Follow up to my last post , the problem has been resolved using a killbox. Admittedly, I had to reload several times before I got it right. So in about 5 out of 6 universes, the colony died.

 

The ongoing toxic fallout means that the sunblocker the mechanoids brought along won't cause any damage for the time being.

 

Game is "Vintage Story". It's similar to Minecraft, but slower paced.
