I don't know what the fuck I'm doing wrong, but I'm doing *something* wrong since I came back after a 7 month break.

I can't keep up with the AI. By the 2220s they've got two full fleets and a technological edge over me while I'm having to drag myself up to that level. They're able to keep spewing out starbases non-stop while I'm sat waiting for ages for the influence for it. Every empire that spawns adjacent to me hates my guts from the word go. I can't win wars against them because even if I win a battle they'll just come back with a full fleet near-instantly.

I'm only playing on Captain with midgame scaling, I'm seriously fucking lost here.

I generally wind up with a massive surfeit of copper due to my exploration and marking of every surface vein I find. I actually find tin and similar a pain in the arse to get a hold of for making bronze-tier stuff.

Also I like to have a saw for chests as soon as possible, and that has to be smithed.

Got a bronze anvil too? Need one of that tier or better to work the blooms and iron.

The stupid relationship-paranoia* that I get has come back.

It'd be nice to be able to be friends with people without my brain screaming at me that every minor issue and flaw is indicative that it's all awful and they hate me in spite of all the good stuff in the relationship that shows it's genuine.

*I call it that because it's like my brain runs on some sort of paranoid mentality with regards to a lot of friendships. They don't message me back after reading a message? They don't want to talk to me at all. Ever. We don't talk much one night? They hate me and want to ditch me. I know for a fact it's a load of horsedick but my subconscious keeps screaming this sort of thing at me and it's hard to have an entirely normal relationship in the face of it.

Had some calluses on the sides of my balls

I didn’t read it like that and you can’t prove otherwise.
That'd be horrifying for two reasons.

First off, testicle verruca

Second, a verruca is basically a flattened wart. I'd be having to walk on my balls for that.

Had some calluses on the sides of the balls of my feet and big toes for fucking ages.

One of them now has black dots under it in a very verruca-esque manner.

Dunno if they've always been verrucas or if some virus managed to get in on one of my de-callusing sessions. Regardless, looks like I'm freezing the shit out of it, and in the meantime no Jitsu.

I always disable the storms and stability. They're just not what I'm after.

Although you can now see *something* in the distance when you're in the Rust World. Apparently the files call it a Storm Lord or something similar to that.

So all that kerfuffle and...

They're willing to send the right product. No refunds. Ever. Under any circumstances.

Fuck it, I'll take them up on that. At least it costs them more and I can find some place to donate them to. I'll take some petty revenge over nothing.

Going on the public stock market
Or, to put it another way:

Imgur will be a shadow of itself by the end of the decade.

The good thing about going public is that it allows a company to raise additional funds, the bad thing is the individuals, funds, and companies that buy them demand year-on-year increases in their investment because their goal is to buy low and sell high, not get dividends. As a result they do stupid things that impact their long-term growth for short-term gain, and that only works for a little bit.

686
Has Imgur recently/are they considering gone/going public?

Because it seems to be a fairly typical "going public" move.

EDIT: Personal sad, I need more fluids and fibre in my diet.

Because holy fucking hell am I bloated. I'll leave it up to you to link the two.

Why do carrots seem to rot so much faster than other root vegetables? Got some parsnips and carrots at the same time, parsnips are perfectly fine, the carrots went super slimy and smelled like vinegar within less than a week. I've got a month and a half old sweet potato that's still going strong too.

Not really by 1.17. They'd changed the Drifter spawn mechanics so they spawn out of rifts unless you disable that, but rifts seem to spawn waaaaaaay too often for me to be happy.

Game chose to be incredibly stingy with raids and wildlife, even for ice sheet. I had two animal migrations and two raids in a year, alongside three animals wandering in (A hare, a fox, and a wolf). You can only do so much with that, and I resorted to cannibalising my colonists. That didn't stave off starvation long enough, and I wound up dying.

Rimworld

EDIT: Two issues with hostage rescue missions:

1) You can't enter the heli from the side with the hostage. You HAVE to approach from the rear because the heli won't actually land, it'll hover and you can't climb with someone on board. This makes it *great* for ambushing someone because all you need to do is look at it from a single angle.
2) The helicopter says it'll take off then spends another 10 seconds on the ground, giving ample opportunity for said ambushers to shoot you to death while you're downed.

Guess what the fuck happened to me? I saw the ambush coming, for some reason the south of Al-Mazrah is swarming with players now. I can only assume they added a load of spawn points down there so it's more likely to start and stay populated. God knows I've started there far too many times not to suspect that. What I didn't expect was the inability to use a side door, nor for the helicopter to just... sit there. I killed one ambusher, shot at the second a good bit and got downed, but they'd started firing at me while I finished off the first guy so they had a head start. Then because the heli sat there for fucking ages they got loads of time to run to the helicopter and kill me (Not that they deserved it, they struggled to actually hit me while I was downed because I was crawling around them. It was kind of pathetic watching them miss a barely moving target that much)
