And if no-one does “flip that switch for you,” then that’s ok too.

Just crouch down to simulate moving to a lower line.

About 80% of my use of Netflix is “hear about a cool film, open up the app, it’s not on Netflix, close the app”.

Age of Mythology. It’s an RTS game from maybe 20 years ago, although there’s a remastered edition that’s less than a year old. I played the original version and the story and gameplay are both really fun. The controls definitely feel dated and clunky to me now though. I’ve not played the new version but I expect it’s good too.

Specifically, you can play as Norse, Egyptians and Greeks with three main gods and nine(?) minor gods from each pantheon. You build up your civilization / town over several ages, managing your resource gathering and armies. Each age unlocks a new god with a new god power. Each god also has different mythical monsters that you can create such as jackals, hydras, wolves, etc. The original also had Chinese and Atlantians (Greek titans) as DLC, I don’t know if they exist in the new version

Back in caveman times, no-one had a smartphone with a torch on it to help see the caves. It was all done using flip-phones with just the screen lit up. Those poor artists :(

Genuinely cool shower thought though, I wonder if it’s true

Just finished upgrading my Fulgora base today, and yep!! I’m even exporting ingredients back to Nauvis to my main base

Huh, weird. That almost feels like a bug to me.

no 💕

You know most of the world isn’t USA, right? I’m sick of American politics, and while it is important to talk and mobilise against conservatives, I also don’t want it to be >50% of what I see here. Not wanting to see American politics doesn’t mean you’re privileged, it might mean you’re just not American.

(And also, people who are American and will be disadvantaged by conservative politics still might want to relax and enjoy their free time without having to think about all the bullshit that’s happening to them. No-one should be fighting for their rights 100% of the time, we all deserve some time to relax and have fun as well, otherwise what are we even fighting for?)

Nice

FYI: any old rail seems to have been converted to “legacy rail” which isn’t the same as normal rail. I found that I couldn’t place my (old) blueprints down on top of (new) rail that I’d placed manually because the tracks aren’t technically the same

I’ve done that while driving at 70mph. Very not fun

Poor thing is already stress-eating, and now it’s got a bunch of scientists staring at it too

Only lick the soldering iron when it’s turned on. That way, the ouchies from the heat cancel out the ouchies from the lead poisoning. Trust me, I’m an expert at licking things other people say shouldn’t be licked

What an insane thing to read with no context

I lost my health along the way. Two days ago,I fell ill with a cold. I can only hope that resting in bed right now will allow me to regain what I once had…

Look at Dr Money over here, anything above 0°C will keep the pipes from freezing and is technically survivable

I’m doing my first play through trying to get as many achievements as possible. Got my first ever Getting on Track Like a Pro and There is No Spoon whilst getting all of the restriction-achievements other than the no handcrafting on. Very pleased with that! I don’t think I’ve even got the easy speedrun achievement before.

(I know the rocket is easier to launch now, but I didn’t realise when I was playing so I still would’ve got the achievement with the old rocket’s cost)

Looks good! My ship is just a factory I strapped engines and guns onto. I ran out of ammo and power before I got to my destination (lightning planet) and now my ship is in orbit being slowly destroyed and I’m wondering how I’ll get home 😅

Also wondering if I have to build a rocket silo and automate rocket parts again on this new planet. I guess so, since there isn’t a passenger capsule like in Space Exploration to return home in.

I’m going into this mostly spoiler-free and I’m trying to get an achievement for researching an off-planet technology before yellow or purple science, but the only available tech is 1000 science packs. So I’m going I’m under-prepared and have to stay for a long time as my “ship” disintegrates above me 😅

I’m scared of / uncomfortable with spiders, so they’re not allowed inside
