Go to IRL places, find IRL painters, pay them.

Deaf/hard of hearing.

Yup, I died :(

Did recover my stuff, but the hill was so steep that it was hard to stay still and drill, so that I could stand and get the stuff back.

Edit: I don’t recommend skyjumping off there, however.

Wait, what? You can now upgrade freighter classes? LETS GOOOOO

also, re the merchant guild thingy, it seems to be that it’s sector dependent - all guilds in a certain sector will be the same guild. So i think i might need to travel a bit more.

Update: ok holy shit this savegame is blessed as hell. I got a resurgent Venator rn. it might not be S class but B is great.

so many lush worlds but most of them have bad sentinels… and i don’t encounter other guilds than the merchant one either. but still!

What do you think they’ve been doing since the start (and more than made up for it)?

It is! I’m going to look for a Venator-class ship. I don’t have many glyphs yet though (only 2), so I can’t exactly just hop to a place.

Guy who bullied me constantly, calling me slurs and all that. I swore I would take revenge, and broke his jaw. He pretty much stopped after that.

I suppose they meant the fascists or liberals who think the US at some point ever really was benevolent.

IMHO, the closest it came was during Teddy Roosenvelt’s trust busting campaign, but still. The US is a capitalist project through and through. Being well-off I refuse to finance such a project. We shall crush capitalism through itself.

Side-note, but how does one do ‘earlier’ expeditions? I’m wondering how to get the sandworm flying animal.

For people in the Netherlands and Belgium: Bol.com.

For elsewhere: AliExpress, Temu, Vinted (European).

For more specialised services:

Furniture: IKEA (Swedish)
Clothes: Zalando (German)
Food delivery: Jumia (German), HelloFresh (German).

Generally, it’s best to buy directly from the companies themselves. Buy from small or mid-sized companies. You’ll skip on the high prices that way, as there’s no markup. Additionally, since you are not one of millions of consumers - but one of a few hundred, they will care more about you.

I’d have put not 100 million $, but $ 1.5 million (including bonuses) above the lowest earners in the country, pacing with inflation but never more than it. It’s the amount you’d need to live purely on interest.

This would have as compounded effect that the rich would actually for once be motivated to raise the wages of their employees, if they wanted higher wages themselves.

Other than that, all agree.

Not with that spirit. It’s a warning:

“If you don’t stop and get off your mighty throne now, we will take matters in our hands, taking democracy back to the American people”.

The USA. Even if it hadn’t gone on its path of fascism, I disliked being treated as a potential terrorist at the airport. I didn’t even ‘look’ brown, Muslim, or anything they would’ve disliked (and even if I did, or anyone else; the fact that they are that racist is a monument to their patheticness). Hell, in American terms I’d have been considered a Rockefeller Republican. And even then one couldn’t pay me my weight worth in gold to return to that shithole.

Having to wait 3.5 hrs without toilet break before being let into the country ON ARRIVAL? Being fingerprinted?

The museums there were also nationalistic as fuck, which I disliked.

And having to wear a helmet when bicycling? Fuck you, USA.

Aside from that, I think for future destinations, I’d also skip Egypt, Israel, and most of the Middle East save for Lebanon.

Oh, and Hungary too except for the Pride March to give a middle finger to Orban. He’s a Russian puppet bootlicker, in my view.

Interesting, I didn’t know that there were more valuable ones.

Currently I also employ Gravitino Balls, but they don’t yield as much as they used to.

I disagree. I’m very well off, cishet, white, fairly traditional – and would never consider living in the USA. It’s a country for and by egoistic people, not for families of all kinds. To me, it might as well be a fourth world country masking as a first world country.

From what I read the issues can give wildly differing results, though.

That said, I’d wage that if they played it accordingly to their own IRL beliefs, most normal people would fall anywhere inbetween these;

• Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
• Democratic Socialists
• New York Times Democracy
• Left-Leaning College State
• Civil Rights Lovefest
• Scandinavian Liberal Paradise* (really should be labelled “Scandinavian Social Democrat Paradise”)

Indeed, that is why we need to liberate ourselves from Russofascist and Americofascist propaganda.

Fuck Russia, it is fascist imperialist scum!

Liberation can only happen through the freedom from all billionnaire mafias, be they Russian, American, or from anywhere else! Oligarchs are the single largest danger to society.
