I’ll have you know that every Collector worth their Motes grieves for the ones they drop or miss like one mourns a lost friend. Kinda touching really.
But y’all be careful out there... there’s this one guy running around who somehow managed to bank 25 Motes at once. I don’t know he did it, but his Invader said he was “riding the Meatball into battle”. I like his style. But he is insane!
Ya let me know if he does it again!
TRANSMAT FIRING!
Every video I look up nobody chooses to admit there guilt in any of the dialogue choices. I did the dwarf bee glitch back before they patched it awhile back but I saved over it after choosing to lie because I wanted the diploma to see if I could place it in my vineyard house
I'm in a financial position to be able to sign up for all sorts of courses and support dive shops and collect all those PADI certifications. It's been a blast and I've learned a lot. The Rescue Diver cert was the most difficult, but also the most rewarding. I've only had one instructor who I found tedious and obnoxious after dealing with several PADI organizations over the past year. I've gotten my Master Diver cert, not for bragging rights, but as a bucket list thing. Yay, Me! Anyway, I thought I'd post becasue I've seen a bit of disdain here for people who collect the certifications. Education is good. It makes for better divers. I know that Master Diver essentially means little in the world of Scuba diving, but it means a lot to me.
I have been a collector of various types of toys and dolls for many years. I still have Lego sets from when I first started actively and purposefully collecting back in the early 2000s. I'm also quite the bibliophile and have several bookcases and shelves stuffed full to bending with books and comics. The toys I collect still bring me joy. I am a professional photographer and I love taking pictures of my toys and sharing them with both my friends and strangers on the Internet. It's also fun having them around to practice with different angles, lighting, and stylings outside of work. I love reading. I have hundreds of novels and other reading materials on my shelves, so many that I'll be honest: I haven't even read them all. I think I also just adore the book as a physical object. The nice weight in one's hands, the texture of turning pages. It's comforting. Aaaand now it's a problem. I'm officially beginning to run out of space. The toys that once brought me such joy individually have now multiplied into the hundreds and are causing me great stress. The same goes for books. My personal library is filled mostly with books that I purchased with the intention of reading, but I just never got around to doing it or I ended up purchasing a new book that caught my interest in the moment. Another issue I've encountered is that I have personal and sentimental attachments to these things. I know exactly where and when each toy and book was purchased or gifted to me. The thought of getting rid of a doll is like the Toy Story effect. I'm a grown woman and I still have great emotional attachment to my toys. I feel a little embarrassed by this. With books, I tried the Konmari Method. But as I picked up the books I haven't read to put into my "Donate" stack, I kept thinking, "I know I haven't read this book, and I know that purchased it over a year ago, but what if..." And that's where it gets me. Can anyone here help give some decluttering advice to a collector like myself?
TL;DR: I'm a collector with a bunch of sentimental stuff like books and toys and I have so many that it's stressing me out. Help!
I remember it like it was yesterday. Probably, because it was yesterday. Day 63 had rolled around and I built a small shack between Sho-Battai and Heft. I had about 73 cats to my name. Then this motherfucker called the tax collector came to my door. Being busy researching, I was quite miffed. The bastard demanded 3000 cats. I told him that I don't have 3000 cats. After laughing, he told me to get 4500 cats within 3 days. I did so. This bastard came, took my 4500 cats and insulted me and my outpost. A week later, he came back. He demanded 4500 cats due to "troubles with tinfist". After kindly telling him to take 3000 cats or get my scout leg shoved up his ass, he quicky took the cats and hauled ass to Heft. After a few weeks of this, I started to like this little scorchlander midget and his gnome brigade. He had some good banter and learned his lesson.
Anyone ever let the murderer off the hook and say nothing to the guards? If so, why’d you do it?
I’m a fledgling writer. Only have a couple shorts published. But I’m currently about to start a novel inn a fantasy setting where the protagonist is a royal tax collector.
I wanted to do this because we generally hate them and they are usually not main characters. I also have a pretty decent outline for where I want it to go.
What do y’all think?
In the base game the cap is 10 gold. I am wondering if anyone knows of a mod that significantly increases this cap. Thanks!
Preface: The title incident happened during the Thanksgiving sale. I was not prepared to write about it, but this had a very long time coming to be honest. It is going to be a long-winded harangue, so proceed at your own risk. I prefer to post here rather than on Pdx forum because I think that the players here are more experienced on average, and hopefully there are fewer Pdx fanboys who would go full outrage mode at the merest hint of criticism.
My story: Being somewhat of a collector/completionist, I bought Rule Britannia on sale despite knowing that I intend to leave it disabled for my ongoing and future games. I mean, it was only a few bucks and I got to show my support for my favorite game. No big deal, right?
Wrong. So I went about my day, doing your usual holiday thingies, but I just could not shrug off a terrible buyer’s remorse. While I cared naught for the few bucks that could barely get me an Uber ride, it got me thinking – is Rule Britannia the kind of product, along with the development philosophy behind it, I want to support? Am I pleased with direction with which the game is going?
No, and no. That is the reason why I returned the product via Steam by the end of the day. For several patches/DLCs, I have not seen anything that remotely resembles a meaningful mechanic that is not your good-old-fashioned, tried-and-true tri-button “feature”, surely to be complemented with state-of-the-art sale jargons such as a greater depth to the game or a deeper experience in your campaign that will surely lead to a sense of pride and accomplishment for the player.
What I see instead are underdeveloped DLCs, which offered neither interesting mechanics that could engage a player beyond smashing tri-buttons nor intriguing research that could make a history fan smile. I will take the holy orders in the upcoming DLC as an example.
-
More tri-buttons? Why yes, don’t we players just loooove that?
-
We have the Franciscans represent the military faction among the holy orders. However, the Jesuits (admin faction) are sometimes referred to as God’s Soldiers from their founders’ military career and their fighting spirit. Furthermore, Dominicans (dip faction) are also called Domini Canes, i.e. Hounds of the Lord, for their role in the Spanish Inquisition (e.g. Tomás de Torquemada, the very first Grand Inquisitor was a Dominican friar). So, is there any justification for the Franciscans being the military faction, or just “reasons”? (Yes, I am that wei
It just doesn't seem very Chandrian-esque to me.
