Generic High Fantasy Souls?
Doesn't Generic High Fantasy usually lack the doom-and-gloom-and-darkness-and-death feel that seems to be what Soulsborne is made out of?

...I just now discovered that you could drag-and-drop pops on your planets from one tile to another. Up until now I had been waiting for pops to randomly settle in those juicy tiles that they always seemed to save for last >_<

Caveborn. Play as a caveman and do battle against horrific pre-historic monsters.

So...what do I do, then? Take the scientist elsewhere and go bumming around for a while before starting work on the anomaly? Or is it doomed to fail no matter what at this point?
Just let it fail. =| It's not such a big deal.

You're gonna fail some anomalies anyway and really they don't do THAT much. Unless you're only planning to ever play this once, you'll probably run into this anomaly again in the future. There really aren't so many that you'll never see this again.
Might as well. I decided to let the scientist in question go work on a different event, one requiring a 5-star scientist.

95% of the way through the project, an election was held and that same scientist became the President, leaving the science vessel stuck in place. And since she's a substance abuser in her late 50s, she's unlikely to survive long enough to get back to work.

I hate you so much, Stellaris.
* Sirus plays more Stellaris

Fun fact: if a construction ship abandons its task partway through (a threat appearing in the system, ferex), the partially-constructed station instantly disappears and all minerals spent on that project are lost. So that's nice.

Really, Rolan? I haven't attacked Yoink's dietary preferences at any point, other than assuming he was vegan due to him finding eating meat "pretty gross" and talking about dead things in the fridge. And that was a simple misunderstanding.

Let me make this clear once and for all, I literally couldn't care less what Yoink or anyone else chooses to eat. That ranks a solid 0.0 on my give-a-shit-o-meter. What I find distasteful is Yoink's scorched-earth attitude towards something he finds disagreeable, which is why I mentioned Hanlon's Razor. He is attributing to malice what can be explained by ignorance, and his reactions are completely unjustifiable.

I can understand having to be in close contact with someone you dislike (for some valid reasons, don't get me wrong), but given the last few pages I almost want to ask this roommate what they think about Yoink.

Yoink, look up Hanlon's Razor and get back to me. Or don't. Frankly I don't know why I'm still bothering with this.

So hypothetically, what would you do if one of the other roommates had brought home the Evil Eggs of Pure Malice?

I do have a second scientist, but she's only level 4 and I want to maximize her chances. Not that it'll matter if RNG screws me over again, but...

Problem is that I need to build up a fleet to clear out nearby systems before I can send her out for more surveying. I'm kinda trapped in a corner.

See, that's exactly what I mean.

Not immediately hating someone for buying/not buying a certain brand of eggs =/= thinking that needless cruelty is great.
As far as I'm concerned, your roommate is by far the more rational one. They've bought a carton of eggs. You're the one raging, contemplating throwing the food out, and making noises about them not deserving to live and inventing wild conspiracy theories.

So again, go soak your head. That's about the most polite way to say what I really want to say.

I live with a bunch of deep-frying, bacon-gnawing maniacs and the fridge seems to usually be filled with a variety of dead stuff. I don't complain.
This is why I assumed you were vegan. I also think you're lying about that last sentence, but let's ignore that.

Oh, go soak your head Yoink. You're giving vegans everywhere a bad name with your holier-than-thou attitude.

But I don't wear jeans.

Besides, this isn't a case of someone else washing your jeans. This is someone else washing their own jeans in a way that you don't like.
Who cares, in other words?

What the fuuuuuuck.

There is a carton of cage eggs in my kitchen. Cage eggs.
As far as I was aware, despite being disgusting omnivores my housemates at least made sure to always buy free-range eggs. It's the least anyone can do, right? But now suddenly there are fucking cage eggs in my house. I might go chuck the whole carton in the trash.

Maybe they belong to the new guy.
That wouldn't surprise me, really, it's as though he's trying to give me as many reasons to hate him as possible.
Maybe you should mind your own business and let people eat what they want?

So how does the RNG work in this game? Has anyone even figured it out yet? It almost seems like whether you succeed or fail at any one anomaly is decided before you ever begin to get to work on it.

In my current game I found some sort of "mystic" anomaly fairly early on. It was level 4, with a 30% base failure rate. So I acquire a scientist with the Careful trait (-10% failure chance) and put her to work until she's level 5, for a final failure rate of 12%. I saved before I began working on it, and...

I just keep failing. Load, fail, load, fail. I encountered this same sort of issue before, when I tried to savescum an event that had a 50% chance of success (to no avail).



I also just noticed that Steam achievements aren't triggering for some reason. That's pretty minor though.
