He might be playing the console version, which is behind.

Course it's the console version. My crappy laptop couldn't run this. I grabbed it off the game pass.

I couldn't get out of my damn home system. Cause the fucking ship wouldn't survey the sun like the stupid robot kept telling me to. So I just uninstalled it.

How long ago did you try playing the game? 3 years ago? Because that's the only time you would have ever been directed to survey your own sun. It's literally not a thing in the game anymore.

...Yesterday.

Is it really that far behind developmentally? That can't possibly be true?

Well, shit, I guess that explains it.

I started on console before going to PC, so I know it’s a pretty big gap.

Now that Federations is out they’re releasing more updates for console, but I basically had to relearn the game again from all the differences they added when switching to PC, so I can’t go back easily.

Ew. Console version of Stellaris. Ew.

Pretty good run in Receiver 2 today, got to rank 4/5 before dying a bunch of times and falling back down to rank 1/5, and so I've now unlocked the Desert Eagle, the Beretta M9, and the Hi-Point Yeet Cannon.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Sunless Sea is alright so far. Died once and im still getting used to it. But its alright, i like the art style.

[Ameriganastan]

Seeing as it's made by the same people who did Afterparty, I played through this game called Oxenfree. And I'm just kinda lost.

I hate time travel. And after all that effort, I'm stuck in a freaking time loop forever? What kind of shit is that?

[Barboneia]

I bought SUPERHOT last night. It's pretty fun. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

I decided to calculate the minimum price for the protest.

So you see 12 people in the fish tank part

Assuming they each payed the lowest possible price for the protest (new equipment all prices are USD with out tax):

Switch lite $199.99

Animal Crossing: New Horizons $59.99

1 month of NSO: $3.99

263.97$ per person

3167.64$ for a twelve person protest minimum for all new equipment

Thanks for the 3167.64$ PETA. Nintendo will be sure to thank you by making more Animal Crossing with the museum added in for the next game.

"Remember when you guys released Lobsters into a Lake in Alaska and they all died"


lol, dont know if its true or not but it definitely sounds like something they would do

Can't find anything about it. But it sounds like something they'd do.

[Heloin]

Catching virtual fish then protesting the captivity of the virtual fish you just caught is really funny.

They did, PETA was protesting the selling of live lobsters in stores (Something that's not really done in regular stores anymore anyway) and so they bought a supermarket's entire stock and released them into a lake. A freshwater lake in the middle of fucking Alaska.

American Lobsters are a saltwater species that likes temperate water, so they killed all the lobsters they "Saved."

PETA is such a pathetic organization. I don't think they have done anything productive in their entire existence. I am baffled any still support that joke of an organization.

Honestly. At this point, they're no more then a joke.

Oh my God, Red Dead 2 (I never played the first, but 2 was on game pass, so I figured what the Hell) is BORING. Like my God, every time something interesting happens, it's undone by having to cross half of civilization on your slow ass horse. I wanted me an action packed cowboy game, not a goddamn walking simulator.

I liked that part. It's something I go back to when I want some zen time.

Recently started a new game of Stellaris, first time playing it really, even though I've owned it for years.

Not quite sure if I'm doing things right but ah well

I didn't spend 3 hours downloading this game for zen. Like does this goddamn map need to be this freaking huge? Especially in a time period where the car is still brand new?

There is actually a very wide margin regarding what is considered "right" in that game, as it is ultimately dependent upon the way you want to play the game. Are certain methods more efficient? Sure, but people don't tend to play games for efficiency.

One thing to avoid however: try to avoid becoming boxed in by another empire, as it can rapidly mean becoming their bitch depending on what type of empire they are.

I've got science ships exploring and scanning systems like crazy but I keep running out of the resources to claim those systems and have to wait for them to build back up. Any good ways to build up and stockpile those resources faster?

Starting exploring early is a great strategy, as it allows you to find anomalies faster which can lead to some very powerful unique technologies, and also lets you find systems with good resources.

And you just need to prioritise where you spend your resources, as they are always very limited at the beginning. Try to claim systems with the most resources as a priority, as then the payoff for claiming them and building mining/research stations in them is much greater.

That Man Eater game looks silly.

I'm just shock they did not go around telling the talking animals to stop acting human and take their clothes off.
