looks like fire department is saying 20 or so people are trapped in their cars under the wreckage of the bridge and underwater i wonder how many will survive
actually wait didn't somebody here ask me if I've tried bruschettas, recently? cause turns out that's what these snacks I've got are called, and they're good as hell actually
these ones in particular are flavored with "forest mushrooms" and butter
I tried watching snuffy for a bit, but really I don't see myself actually watching a vtuber at all regularly
I don't really watch streamers, I just watch NL

its kinda hard to go from a streamer with experience and showmanship to your typical streaming experience of react to video game with hysterics
yeah I mean I can watch streamed content, sure, but NL is like the only streamer where I actaully will watch for the streamer more than whatever game he's playing
Having another streamer on the other monitor or in a different tab while I do stuff is just actually not doable, it's not a sane thing to do
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i also watch vinny for that although less commonly these days
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
since he is fairly hysterical it's not really a side watching experience either
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
actually nevermind im just thinking of one particular react stream. most of his stuff is chill
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1115584 good thing I don't watch or recommend typical vtubers
can relate I'm back at it again with rimwold Vampire run this time, gonna try a different approach. Instead of keeping my wealth low, I'm just gonna aggressively recruit and have a fucking shitload of colonists
This can work real well with vampires, cause you can put them in deathrest when they're not needed or you're low on resources or something
some games do Zomboid being a very easy example Doesn't matter when you altf4, when you come back you will be in the same exact spot you left it granted, zomboid is comparatively simple, for some games it might be a lot more difficult to do that
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
maybe just roguelikes really thats cool

yesterday I drove all the way to work without breaking down my fuel was down to the very last bar
Anno
>>1115631 vapors, hate running out of petrol. It's bad for fuel pumps
Anno
whats even worse, the fuggin gas hike is killing it . not driving atm but I remember selling stuff like ps games and pawn-ables just to make shift gota do what ya gota do some times
Anno
it do be like that that don't think it be like that but it does
Anno
It's to bad there isn't an additive the stretch out or doubles a tank witha couple drops ahh hhmmm, maybe there are a few
energy is energy just gotta live closer to where you gotta go
Anno
even back in the day it held it's caviates. i.e. horses and h20 or more over food
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
caveats
transport was a bit different back in the day you might spend your whole year travelling from one place to the other
S C
the early game of rimworld is fucking rough, man There's just SO MUCH stuff that *has to* be done, and you don't have the manpower for it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
sounds like a weird difficulty ramp
Anno
im going to dc this weekend to see the sakura ki (cherry blossom trees) :³
S C
>>1115642 well the default gamemode gives you 4 pawns to start, so that's very much doable, but the vampire only gives you two, and the naked brutality starts you with only one I've just kinda gotten bored with the default start
yeah, basically >>1115645 I mean, naked brutality sure as shit will keep you from getting bored just because it's difficult as hell Naked brutality in the perma-winter areas is a lot of fun and starts off at MAX difficulty because you're nude, it's -ALot degrees outside, and nothing will ever grow outside, meaning you have no food, no medicine, no clothing, no nothing, for a LONG time
The ONLY way to actually make it is to immediately dismantle whatever random buildings are around for building materials, and build a little house around a geysir for heat, then once you've undone the hypothermia, you go fight a rabbit or something, which you will have to eat raw (butchering it is preferable mood-wise, but wastes some of the food value, and you can't afford to do that) you're going to have to deliberately starve your one pawn for extended periods because food is so risky and rare to get, you have to ration it to the point of absurdity
I did a run of it, and it was some of the most fun I've had in rimworld Eventually you get to hydroponics and that gives you a fairly reliable food source, but really you're gonna be eating raiders for a fairly long time Make sure you roll a cannibal, or the mental breakdowns from eating human beings are gonna actually kill your ass
In most runs, a breakdown is usually fine, unless it's a BIG one, but when you're naked in the permafrost, ANY breakdown other than "hide in room" will likely end the run outright, as they wander outside and freeze their limbs off
S C
It's one of the very few runs I've done where increasing my wealth to get more raiders has actually been the correct strategy Because well... the raiders are my only food source until I at the very least get electricity going, and that's difficult when you can't easily get stuff like steel and components
They also carry clothing, which is obviously very important when you can't grow cotton to make anything out of
Anno
ya it would knid of hard to process cotton in the middle of nowhere with no weaving wheel
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you built a survival game inside rimworld
Anno
the graphics look kind of like that dawrf fort game
it's heavily inspired by dorf fort But it's much more small scaled, and there are no z levels even really late-game (assuming you don't do the actual escape-the-planet ending) colonies usually cap at about 30 colonists or so I've never even gotten that many, most I've had is maybe 14-15
Though there's no actual hard-cap on how many you can have There's a soft cap in that the game has an Intended Population variable in the background, which affects how likely something is to die outright when downed by damage Once you go too high, that chance goes to 100% meaning literally everyone downed by taking damage, whatever the damage actually is, die instantly But if they go down via bleeding, heatstroke, starvation, whatever, then they just fall over, so you can capture and recruit more that way TECHNICALLY you can have like, 1000 colonists if you want, but the game's gonna lag like crazy, just not built for it
Really though the real fun comes from whatever random goals you set for yourself I'm working towards having a colony with a vampire army in cold storage Basically if I get raided, I wake them up, have them chug and\or snort some various performance enhancing drugs, and send them into battle
Vampires can't actually die unless their brain is destroyed, and ONLY the brain counts. They can lose their heart and they're still technically alive Which means you have demonic guards, and when you don't need them, they don't actually take up resources cause they can go into deathrest while not in use The deathrest itself can be enhanced with various bonuses, and they're completely paused while in that state. They don't get hungry, they don't get bored, they're just resting Addictions aren't paused though, I think, so technically they can beat any addiction except luciferium by just chilling in their casket for like a month Vampires are overall really fucking strong, but that deathrest part isn't optional. They have to deathrest like twice a year, for 5 days or so Well, "have to". They get REAL pissy and overall useless if they don't, but they are strictly speaking able to just push on
Anno
I really want a game that has the personality depth of something like Dwarf Fortress but is designed to maintain several hundred to
Anno
a thousand population But I reckon we're a long way off from the hardware affordability and programming efficiency that I'd ever be in a position to play something like that I love having hundreds of ants running around doing tasks in a way that the default two hundred cap of Dwarf Fortress doesn't quite perfectly scratch
another really important thing with any naked brutality run is to roll someone with a high medical skill The frequency differs by geographic region, but you can randomly contract a disease, and if your guy isn't good at medicine, you just lose lmao I've lose SO many naked brutality runs in the jungle cause my boy got malaria and just ate dirt owing to a low medical skill
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1115656 seems possible to me with enough planning and using the right language and engine
I mean dorf fort as is can support a pretty high population, your computer just needs to be a bit more powerful than mine is I start eating shit at default pop cap, but my computer is real fucking old
It does require some planning on your end as the player though, you gotta make everything from rooms to hallways minimize possible choices and maximize efficiency Well, you can of course make heavy use of the path-priotization tool, that actually will net incredible FPS boost, especially in staircases and stuff the ol' dice-5-side staircase becomes REAL efficient if you make the middle staircase top priority
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they should replace pathfinding with like an ant-like pheromone system that works from a bottom-up perspective building 1 has scent traces that get stronger that-a-way building 2 and so on then you dont have to do a billion recurisve path finding algorithms all the time
S C
I don't know what mod it is, or if it is a mod, but in rimworld I have an overlay that shows the heatmap of where anything actually spends time walking on the map It's not super useful just because there's no direct way to tell pawns to use a particular path or something, but it can be used to see stuff like "man they're REALLY going between these two areas a lot, I should move this to there" and whatnot And if that's not applicable, you can at least make flooring to increase their speed, light up the path, that sorta thing
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
Lmao there was a high court case about a guy who pissed on another guys face during a work trip and whether or not the employer was liable
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
Not like workplace bullying The guy just stumbled back to the hotel room drunk and did it by accident Supposedly traumatised the other guy and gave him PTSD
Rimworld does always end up with you committing atrocities, one way or the other The first time I had a vampire show up, had never seen one before, it was a hostile one, so naturally we killed his buddies and captured him And then I was like "well, I COULD forcefully take the vampirism for one of my guys, but that would kill him cause his genes aren't regrown... hm..." Anyway, long story short we sawed his legs off and left him starving in bed for a year or so, letting me make one guy a vampire, and keep the prisoner vampire for another one later Since it's a vampire, you don't actually have to feed him, so it's really just a single bed somewhere in the base that exists
S C
Naturally, now having a vampire myself, that same thing has to be done to at least one random captured raider Except you gotta feed that one Vampires need blood regularly, after all
Anno
battery
S C
are there semi-auto pistols designed to look like a revolver? Like with a cylinder and stuff But still magazine fed

i blundered my queen and then blundered mate in 1 previous gane
Anno
what gambits are more victorious?
Anno
anno needs more of a variety
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
anno doesnt need gambits, anno needs to see tactics at this skill level it comes down to seeing where pieces are hanging or weak
Anno
define pieces that are hanging, vulnerabilities are mkre more *** stright forward.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
pieces that arent defended and can be taken
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
for that anno needs to develop their board vision i.e. being able to see quickly what is currently hanging, and also, what will happen after making a particular move
I got trapped scrolling down the front page of reddit. Knew I didn't like it but just kept going. was there a good 10-15 minutes how long does it take to become a Redditor? is it contagious
I've been watching this guy using a modded storyteller AI in rimworld that turns it into a wavebased base defense game, and MAN it gets crazy towards the end He's being assaulted by so many raiders each time, he has multiple cremation stations and butcher tables going nonstop for like a full day afterwards, with his colonists running back and forth burning or chopping up the corpses, cause if he doesn't, they'll rot and spread disease
S C
for example, at the point in the playlist I am currently, he's being invaded by 700 lads he himself has 35 colonists, but just due to the nature of this challenge, he's employing a lot of cheesy strats, so it's very much doable, even if micro-intensive and very dependent on having his colonists cram drugs into their bodies Not really for outright stat boosts, though that's in there too, mostly to keep them happy in a drug-induced euphoria, as well as awake, since at this stage raids last for actual days
sorta suddenly realized I've not actually eaten like, you know, actual food all damn day I've been just snacking the whole time, on like, nuts and stuff
So I guess I'm making some actual food once I get up tomorrow
S C
I guess nuts do sorta count as food, it's not like it's candy, but still gotta have some other food groups, too can't JUST be nuts and raisins and dried fruit
S C
Not that peanuts are actually nuts, technically, but whatever Honestly I think that's stupid, they're peanuts, obviously they're nuts
I have once more increased the mod stack in rimworld Now with a whole slew of new stuff, new guns, new armor, new clothes, new furniture, new genes And also I think people in general will have somewhat randomized genomes overall, which really I had thought would be the case for the biotech dlc to begin with, but it's not By default, it just adds more types, or races or whatever, it doesn't have each individual have a chance at some random mutation or random gene which kinda sucks, it makes it a dlc which primary mechanic you don't interact with until real lategame, or possibly not at all
Yesterday I forgot to take my antidepressants and then i played runescape all day and then I ate a 6-man family feast from McDonalds all by myself and then I slept for 14 hours and had a crazy dream about drafting legal documents for a petrol company.
only thing I ever get at the mcd's is the double cheeseburg They can't fool me with their special named burgers and package deals, I know exactly what I want 2 double cheeseburg and a milkshake if the machine is working that day (it is usually being cleaned)
Well it was over a few hours and I didn't drink the soda.
But yeah dude. Go hard. What's the point of a cheat day if you're going to pussy-foot around and half heart it. No middle ground We're either eating clean or we're eating 6 burgers at 2 in the morning.
POV it's the beginning of your naked brutality run, where you need to spend all your time very efficiently to build up a safe base so you don't die to the first raid
I wish I could blame my hangovers and other headaches on beam weapons deployed by the Swedish government to target me, and get paid out by my own government That'd be sick
this run of rimworld began with a single, naked and afraid woman through no deliberate action of mine, there are now 5, ALL women
And they're loving life They've got some drugs, plenty of food, some guns from raids as well as ammunition, and a solid defensive wall I hadn't even noticed they were all women until just now
>>>/@functi0nZer0/1774016037035376950 the amount of effort expended to backdoor almost every ssh service around man good thing they got caught but i wonder how many similar exploits have succeeded
It's more that the game just is really damn difficult Most enemy raids will be weaker than the player's colony can be, technically, so it's a lot about managing your wealth until you hit the point where you can kit your lads out with powerful gear Once you're rocking powerarmor, you're crushing large raids without TOO much issue
Anno
cory alagory lol
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
OPPIE! did you or did you not build an automated cheesegrater
S C
that and once you do get that gear, you gotta start persuading people who survive the slaughter to join your cause Cause you're gonna be facing A LOT of heat
a heatwave AND toxic fallout Randy, you shouldn't have At least this colony is overall going better A lot of that is because I've made the actual base much larger, giving me more room for activities... whenever the sky isn't raining poison on me, that is
S C
I uh, Forcefully Adopted a 4 year old beggar child who came requesting herbal medicine, presumably for his ailing parents, converted him to my religion, and now I'm teaching him... how to care for surgically implanted elbow blades
rimworld is crazy like that I can't choose what he's taught exactly, but when he grows up I get to pick from various traits and passions to bestow upon him All I can do in the meantime is schedule the little bugger to play and learn and never work
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean what about his ailing parents
S C
oh, well those are hypothetical, mechanically speaking

this kid hasn't thrown so much as a punch since he entered the colony, but he's more well versed in melee combat than the other two colonists, just from them telling him about it what a lad
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
me becoming an MMA professional by watching NL play-box on stream
S C
it do be like that
S C
thankfully kids don't grow in real time in rimworld they grow based on their "growth stage" which is sped up drastically by learning a lot and having fun I think you can fully grow a kid to an adult in like, a year
it's been a long, perilous road, but I finally have the tech and resources to start kitting all my lads out with bionic limbs And then turn them into vampires And for good measure, inject a "super fast runner" gene Then I just need better armor and better guns, and I can finally do something I've always wanted to do, but never really got to. Namely, wipe the map clean
I mean that's still easier said than done, even with completely kitted out colonists, just because you still gotta manage stuff like their mood, and also the other faction bases are often like, 50 deep And I've only got like 10ish... for now
Main bottlenecks atm is gold and plasteel really, but I can farm up some of that by calling in the appropriate traders, I just gotta start cranking out crack cocaine to trade with

>Already Japan’s most common surname, 1.5% of Japan’s entire population have the name Sato. Furthermore, between 2022 and 2023 the surname displayed an alarming growth rate of 0.83%. If this rate continues, it could trigger a snowball effect that would eventually lead to what Professor Yoshida has dubbed the “2531 Sato-san Problem.” >By the year 2531, everyone in Japan will have the surname Sato.
