Seen both electric callboy and baby metal in the last year separately. Really interesting to see it performed by both bands!

Thanks for this. I haven't been letting it get me down in the past, but having two kids can certainty start making me question what the heck their future will look like

I do joke a lol, but things in many areas are so much better than 30-50 years ago and considering Brits in WW II had to turn out all their lights to hinder German bombings - most of us are being peddled fear by the media and it's not THAT bad.

Where did you get the climate hope bit? last articles I glazed over were 'we missed 1.5 deg target and instead put the foot on the pedal to make it faster' and 'climate migrations coming and mass famine'.

Sounder doomerism to me but I don't really have a good source to be optimistic at all.

From memory, in general:

Lots of chests for pistol of shame as you will be corpse-runningba lot.

Main goal is flamethrowers or death. You have nothing else that can stand up to a prolonged assault hands-off. N O T H I N G

Walls are too expensive - stone smelters cover a larger area and are more efficient for stone cost vs size. Use these at chokes.

Use natural terrain features a lot for chokes, but remember how big spotter range can be when building.

You will want something disposable for early warning, so you can rush to meet waves.

Rush oil, flamethrowers. Defend oil area like your life depends on it, because it does. Iirc we lost a large chunk of the base and rebuilt around oil again, as only the could we erect permanent fortifications.

Once you break the back of early-mid game and start to scale past first rocket, it does turn back into feeling easier, just with lower UPS and wading through swarms of enemies like doomguy.

I still get chills playing when the collosus jumps in-system first time and in subsequent scenes where your flying a incredibly tiny fighter vs capital ships that take up your entire screen.

I really haven't felt that sense of awe in other space games oddly, and the story of both 1 and 2 was chilling.

Underrated for sure. But 99 was a amazing year for games (I'm a huge system shock 2 fan). But a cursory wiki look at 99 makes me feel so sorry for modern gen kids waiting over a decade for a new elder scrolls or GTA.

Always wondered how the heck they tattoo the eyelid. I find simple/light tattooing on meaty areas somewhat peaceful and relaxing, but do that to my eye and I'll be twitching like a flea on crack

Nothing. Embrace the chaos. My 5yo ensures I have no gaming sessions past 30 seconds.

The question is - since this is a decentralized non-corporation network but modeled after techbro networks, do we have the same negative effect here unintentionally through choices in design cloning?
