Bay 12 Games Forum

It might snow tonight.

One of my haulers got attacked by a hungry bear.  Noone was near enough to respond in time to save the poor soul but the other hauler got there in time to shoot it with her SMG while the bear was devouring the corpse.  The bear responded by running up to her and ripping her neck off with a single attack from full health.

I retaliated by mortaring the hell out of it.  Fuck bears.

Rimworld

Its because our reality is actually spiraling out of control inside an inter-dimensional black hole that we long since passed the event horizon of.   The vr headset is sensitive enough to detect the acceleration.  SO in reality, Your VR headset is actually a window into the secrets of the universe and our inevitable demise as the entire known universe is slowly being compressed down into the size of a small moon.  Don't worry, it will become far more noticeable in about a week as we move closer and closer to the center of mass.

That or the calibration is off.  But it's probably the first one.

I don't remember goku having red hair.  I must be way out of the loop then.   Is that pink marshmallow guy still turning everyone into candy?

I really need to learn how to mod in custom races.  This game is so much more interesting with Argonians and some fox people whose name I forget but there just seems to be so few race mods.  I love the diversity, and I would think I'd find at least the basic dwarves elves orcs and whatnot.  And maybe even a few of those races I always find in other games like Avali or Sergal but nope, nothing.  Hell the avali background of needing bionics just to survive outside their homeworld actually has a system in place for it in Rimworld, unlike Starbound.

Is it just particularly hard to mod races in rimworld or something?

Speaking of Chrono trigger I hear Squeenix is consitering remaking FF6 and Chrono Trigger because the Secret of Mana remake worked so well.

That is my WTF.  Secret of mana is a bit of a cult classic but surely they know that if they remake those two games in particular it would have to be programmed by Jesus, Armok, Nuffle, Kormir, Paladine, AND Talos all at the same time and compiled from a NASA supercomputer from the distant future to not be systematically taken apart and destroyed by their fanbase right?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a modern remake of those titles, but the hype would be so explosive no bomb shelter would be safe.

Posting to watch, and just a little comment.

I like science. I consider myself more scientifically minded than the average middle class american, and can usually keep up with forum posts and the odd science magazine or casual conversation involving engineering, biology, chemistry and a bit of physics.

But leave it to bay 12 for me to skip to a few pages before the end of a thread to be up to my neck in diagrams, relativity, what I assume is theoretical physics, and the word 'in-vitro'.  I am confident if I watch this tread and read a few posts every day I might learn something. 

Learned a valuable lesson.  You may basically be a technological god compared to everyone in the galaxy, with everyone but the fallen empire's tech level being listed as inferior, and some pathetic.  It does not mean shit if you don't have fleet capacity.

I learned this lesson hard when I decided to prevent an opponent's fleet from taking one of my planets by blockading the hyperlane leading to it before the transports could get there.  Only to encounter my opponent's ally's fleet that was 4x my fleet's strength.  Gamma lazers, ion disruptors, zero point power, advanced shields and battleships won't save you from about a million corvettes and destroyers with blue lazers and deflectors it seems.

P.S. I had an ally too, but their fleet strength was even lower than mine, technologically inferior to me, and had to fly through all of my space before even reaching the front line.
