Not only does this apply to trade lanes but with regards to where you could go via jump gates or with jump holes.

You could think of jump gates like a space highway, often placed at the edges of systems connected to the rest of the important spots (or at least the important/civilized/non-criminal locations) in a system with trade lanes. Want to go to another system? You used the jump gates to do so.

This works fine for a good majority of accessing the systems in the game, but once you start getting to the more undeveloped, frontier systems, your ability to travel is also affected, like if you had to drive down a rough, dirt road as opposed to a tarmac highway.

You may have to forgo the use of trade lanes entirely in some places that don’t have them and some systems are not accessible via jump gates either, with you needing to find jump holes instead to reach them. In fact, to get some of the best ships in the game you’d have to access the Outcasts factions home planet which you can only do via said jump holes.

I thought it was really cool how they did that, was an effective little change in gameplay to show the development of a location and made exploring and going off the beaten track super rewarding!

Like a big ol’ shit flavoured ouroboros.

Now that you mention it, I find adding RPG-like elements to a game can often take away from a game rather than enhance it.

Assassins Creed is a good example of this. In the older games you didn’t have to worry about getting better loot and the like, so you didn’t have to worry about if you had enough number power to assassinate someone. If you could successfully sneak up to them, you can do it.

You did get new tools and unlocked new abilities but these were handed out at set intervals which meant that missions could be more easily balanced and designed around what the player could actually do and thus meant you as a player could focus more on planning how to strike or doing some side activities to give you an advantage such as having an area of thugs now hang around in a spot who will go after guards that are chasing you.

Where the newer ones that have adopted more RPG staples, while they still can have their moments, feel more derivative and I find it harder to get into because my brain feels like its played this game already several times before.

And its all well and good having a massive world to explore but if you just fill it up with uninspired quest design and just a ton of filler content, is it really all that worth exploring it?

I just feel sometimes games try to do too much or try to check too many boxes, when it could really shine with a more focused and linear design instead. I get people want to get as much content as they want out of a game though, especially nowadays.

E-gun

Sure! There’s a general thing that people sometimes say when they struggle with alcoholism and that is that they say they have a drinking problem.

So with the joke here, rather than a drinking problem reffering to someone being an alcoholic, it is instead because they cannot hold the bottle and are thus having a problem with drinking but in a completely different way.

Hope that cleared it up a little :)

Woah these look really nice! They feel like they “pop” better and more visually distinguish it being a beehaw community as well!

God I love this song, never fails to get me dancing and in a better mood.

I swear as well that Tekkno Train wouldn’t be out of place in Eurovision either.

Mean there were times when I was logged out of Reddit and was trying looking up something on mobile and the constant badgering to install the app just had me tell it to flip off and I looked elsewhere instead. Lot of people tend to do things based on how convenient it is for them and if they go ahead with this, sure maybe some will download the app but a lot of other people will just get fed up and stop, particularly if they were using the browser version so they didn’t have to deal with the app in the first place.

I’m not quite familiar with the Rio Grande river and what lives there but couldn’t this cause a lot of issues for the wildlife in the river as well? Like if anything is migrating up and down it couldn’t the barrier just block them from doing so?

Exactly! I think someone else on another thread when trying to explain the fediverse to someone used how e-mail works as a comparison and it just made it click and make sense for me! It’s going to be my go-to way to explain it to someone now.

Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I’d thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D

I wouldn’t necessarily say excited myself, it feels more bittersweet. On the one hand it like sucks for folk on a personal level who might have really enjoyed being part of a certain community, or all the work people have put into moderating, posting content or their work on a third party app is just going up in smoke in a snap.

But on the other, it feels like sweet sweet delicious karma for the stupid bullshit Reddit’s leadership have done over the years and getting to see the birth of something new and better to come out of the ashes. Hopefully this place sticks around because its felt like a breath of fresh air honestly.

But we need the sacrifices else how will line go up? :(

Pull a little silly and just keep slighty moving the buoys further up the river every night and see how far they can get before someone notices

Good god I knew it wasn’t going to go well but I didn’t think they’d crash and burn it THIS bad.

The bar was on the floor and they still managed to somehow clip underneath it through the floor, end up in some backrooms-esque dimension only to trip on a banana peel and land face first in a pie.

Think its gotta be THAT moment towards the end of Disco Elysium (if you know, you know, I don’t wanna spoil it for folk who haven’t experienced it for themselves yet), it made me cry but it was a happy cry so I think it counts

God I hope not, but the guy has a habit of constantly disappointing me so will have to see

My dad joke variation of this is to say…

“I may have a drinking problem”

“I don’t know how to hold the bottle!”

Its gotten a few groans of anguish but then that seems par for the course with my humour :p

I’ve had a few ideas why they might act like that. Perhaps it comes from a place of shame? They get horny over it but due to how they’ve developed negative views on LGBT+ people they feel disgusted or ashamed with themselves and then feel compelled to then go on a crusade against “le gays” as a form of projection, to prove that they aren’t “one of them”. Mean think of all those times people who’ve been pretty outspoken in their anti-LGBT views only to later be caught having seen a bunch of guys on Grindr or been identified at a gay orgy or something, feels like a meme at this point.

Maybe its from paranoia that they’ll be caught out and think if they’re the ones that shout the loudest against them, then people won’t think theres a chance they are LGBT+, which could have pretty devastating consequences for them where being found out could lead to social ostracism, or at least the perception thats what would happen.

Or perhaps its just pure opportunism and they don’t really care about if its consistent or not. Hell they might not actually have any actual hatred towards them but do so because it will get them more votes in an election where a sizeable section of the electorate are quite bigoted or to get invited to give talks, write books, make a podcast, etc. Hate is a strong emotion and be exploited quite effectively in the right places if you’re looking to make a profit.

Now I wouldn’t say thats an exhaustive list of all the potential reasons why people might still go on to be bigoted to LGBT+ people despite their hornyiness towards them, cus theres probably about as many possible reasons for that as there are people out there, but theres a few theoretical ways I could see how it might happen.
