  • I also used to hit the component bottle neck until pretty recently. Unless you want to figure it out yourself:

    spoiler

    What you want to do is try to get the long range mineral scanner and drop pods quickly, scan for components, and then drop pod in your miners with some supplies, maybe an animal to carry stuff, mine out the resource node and then travel back home with the goodies.

    I went from struggling to get components outside of traders to having full teams in power armour pretty much instantly. Now my problem is that I accumulate wealth too fast and end up fighting off huge raids.




  • Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

    My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.


  • I’ve warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

    The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI… Like… What? I’m not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don’t understand how they live like this.
