I mean yeah, it's a closed source app. The most that could possibly be collected is your IP alongside browsing habits. Your ISP already does that and definitely doesn't care who gets it, so anyone who is concerned already uses a VPN.

Generally I tell players they need to pick a specific point for the cube so that it exactly fits the grid. It just keeps things more objective, speeds up combat.

I also generally prefer more structure and strict rules for things though.

I've got maybe 40 hours played, reached level 20 something.

I guess I place a higher emphasis on base building in these games and compare it to like Valheim, V Rising, or Raft. I expect it to get better (I still haven't figured out terraforming for farms) but it feels so bad to regrind for materials because I want my base pretty.

When I last played on March 1st, the workbench had a pretty limited number of things to craft when it came to base furniture (mostly had building materials). I had to initiate it by talking to the relevant craftsman. I'm okay with armor/weapons/forge type upgrades sticking with their inventories, but personally would rather have a single spot to build all my base stuff instead of having to remember who to talk to.

This game is a ton of fun, I love the story, I love how easy it is to re-spec your character, but the experience of base building is hot garbage.

You use raw materials to make separate building materials. Kinda cool in theory, especially because everything is laid out on a pretty fine grid, allowing for a lot of freedom in placements.

But then you get better building materials, you go from Rough Stone to Cut Stone and guess what, you have to farm 700 stone again and all your previous building materials are literal trash because you can't break them down into raw materials.

You can make bigger, better chests now? That's great! Wait, why can't I find it in the workbench menu next to the small chests? I have to talk to this other guy? Where do I find rugs? Is it my build hammer menu, the workbench menu, do I talk to the carpenter or the hunter?

It's just awkward all around.

I don't think it needs to be two separate queues, just matchmaking could add it as a preference.

Might be worth noting, most of Enid's money comes from a Koch plant there, one of the largest in the country.

Enid's politics and people are definitely influenced by the Koch's.

I'm from Oklahoma, and Enid is definitely a small, backwoods town that has nothing but a Koch plant.

Trump won that county in 2020 with 77% of the vote.

This ^

I was looking at the top left corner of the cropped one.

It could be that just the text is photoshopped.

Apparently the one next to it is $5,500, which seems outrageous to just have on a shelf next to other comics.

At least it's drawn to scale, but yeah I get it. Starting at 7k probably makes it easier to read.

The vid has 167k views now, good for him.

What if I call it Tylenol but always buy the generic anyway?
