@bored I was against Gadot because she is a skinny little twiglet cast in the role of a woman that could have done a bit more for body positivity.
But. Watch any Zack Snyder movie. -Every woman is a stick figure white lady-.
A more physical woman without waif-like dimensions would have been fantastic.
@HelloProject Agreed. Whiteness is what Republicans consider acceptable levels of melanin at any given time. Irish and Italians are white now. Hispanics are no longer white.
It ebbs and flows.
@Janarc Don't worry about being secure. The more you think about yourself the worse it gets. Make plans. Decide what to pack. Bring a book for the flight. Focus on what you want to do.
Your friend/partner/significant other will be happy to see you.
@Tinuviel Not all vikings were Danes.
@Ganymede My company is a mess. And I can't afford the 25 to 40 percent pay cut I would get from bring transferred.
It is time for our yearly contract bonuses. The client gives them to us every year. All that it requires is our supervisor putting in the paperwork.
This new guy says 'With the fake shutdown and propaganda the client is losing money. We can't ask them for bonuses'.
I calmly explained to him that the client profitablity actually has gone up during this period. And that we have put ourselves at risk for the client. Bonuses make sense.
'I said no. And if you go over my head I am going to have you transferred out of here'.
So there goes 600 bucks I guess.
I think I'm starting another spiral downward. Wish me luck.
I wish I could take a picture of the official note my 'supervisor' left for me today. It mentions 'Antifa terrorists may be rioting again this weekend'.
This is the dumbest thread I've seen in a while. Let me state a couple relevant points.
You can play whatever ethnicity or gender you desire. There is zero pushback against this. No game currently open today (bar a few old MUDs and MOOs) still have racism and bigotry baked in to any real degree. And the people who are openly racist/bigots actually get tossed out. Unlike real life.
Playing a PoC to learn empathy? Bitch please. The shit that folks who aren't white have to deal with on a daily basis -don't exist on a MU*-! Period. It is a sanitized experience. It's downright offensive to consider playing a PoC as 'walking in their shoes' or 'learning empathy'.
Let the game die already.
Staff basically removed the economy from the game. There's no conflict. There's no struggle. It's just... an idle game. Let it die.
@wahoo So you're saying that quality shouldn't be based on what is accomplished, but on what is intended?
It was my new boss. The one who goes on about how the government is evil and oppressing citizens, except that lovely Trump guy who is fixing America.
Peeve: Please, people. I understand you don't all want to wear masks. But don't refuse to wear a mask, invade my personal space, cough, and jokingly say 'Looks like you got the hoax flu now!'
@Groth I get accused of all sorts of shit constantly. The very same people who scream at me for how 'insensitive' I am being through what I think is innocuous chatter feel perfectly fine going on at length about what an asshole I am. Which is, of course. Extremely insensitive.
The hypocrisy is real.
Much as it pains me to say it, Scissor Seven is a surprisingly good cartoon on Netflix. At least in my humble opinion. It is outrageously stupid, of course. But it also manages to hit me right in the feels.
@silverfox I know that's not what they said, but... it looks like that's what they said.
@Ganymede It depends on the mods. Some can be added to existing games, some can't. My advice? Play it out a while until you feel like starting over/you win/you die. And for your -next- colony, you can add mods. I'll list some mods here that I like, so everyone can poke at them.
(Stars * indicate complexity. One being the least)
Facial Stuff - Face/Beard/Skintone options. You can even set how balding you want your pawns to be!
Chickens Multiproducer - You can set your colonists to make x5 or x10 of things, like meals. Super handy. Makes the game a bit easier, though.
MinifyEverything - Lets you minify/uninstall -everything-. Makes the game much, much easier but I love it because it lets me re-arrange my base.
Increased Stack - Lets you stack things up to 10x larger. Great for saving space. Makes the game much easier.
** Dubs Paint Shop - Lets you repaint/recolor anything. Purely cosmetic. But cool.
*** RealRuins - Lets you discover ruins of other people's previous colonies. I -highly suggest- disabling ruins at start locations, and just visiting ruins that pop up on your map. Super awesome. I love seeing what other people have built.
Share The Load - Lets multiple people bring materials to blueprints. Why can't Bob help Bill out by carrying some wood for him?!
Research Pal - This one is a HUGE HELP. It is purely cosmetic, but makes the research table so much clearer/easier to read. -A must have- if you use any mods to expand the research tree as things get so jumbled otherwise.
** Hospitality - Lets you host guests. They can stay in guest quarters and you can designate shopping/recreation areas for them. You can even recruit them, potentially.
** GlitterTech - Adds a lot of late game buildables.
InventoryTab - Adds an Inventory tab that lets you locate items easier.
GloomyFurniture - Okay, I'm a nerd, but I love this one because it lets me build small, cozy cottage type furniture.
** Awesome Inventory - Lets you have an RPG style inventory for your pawns. You can see where they are wearing what. As opposed to a list.
** Replace Stuff - Lets you just build over existing buildings, rather than needing to deconstruct them first. (CAUSES MAJOR ISSUES WITH REALRUINS IF YOU HAVE RUINS ON YOUR STARTING MAP)
CM Color Coded Mood Bar - Makes the mood bar color coded, so you can see who is in a good/bad mood easier.
Power Alerts - Lets you know if your power grid needs attention. Disconnected generators, etcetera.
**** Dubs Bad Hygiene - Makes your pawns need plumbing/drinking water/toilets/showers. Very advanced wizbiz.
My Little Planet - Lets you generate much smaller planets. I always use this now.
[O21] Kakamora - Adds the Kakamora from Moana to the game. Essential. Much immersion. Very wow.
This isn't my whole mod list. Just some fun stuff I think really enhances the game. Honorable mentions include A Rimworld of Magic (adds D&D style magic), Call of Cthulu - Cults (Lets you form cults and worship Elder Gods), Rim of Madness - Vampires (Adds WoD vampire clans), and Brotherhood Compendium (Adds the Brotherhood of Steel).
Those really, really change the game a lot. And unbalance the crap out of it. But having a lich or a Malkavian vampire or calling on Nyarlathotep for aid really is fun.
@Ganymede Yeah, it doesn't have to mean cheating. And you can do point limits. It just makes it -so much simpler- to get started. If you ever want to branch out further, I use -ALL THE MODS- and would be glad to share some of my favorites.
