Last Person to Post Wins

[Mr.Puerto]

And then you have people like me who in honor of Monty Oum go to good will to dress up as the bad guys.

Yeah I feel like cosplaying is such an expensive hobby. But I think most hobbies are expensive at any rate, its probably worth waiting till you have an actual career to put money into it. For example, a bunch of retired dudes set up an RC airfield about 15 minutes away from my house. They literally put hundreds if not thousands of dollars into this hobby. They even use actual jet engines from time to time. You might think to yourself why sink that much money and time into something so strange. But I would like to think that if it makes you happy its worth putting a little extra money into, especially if you worked your ass off to get that cash. So I think Cosplaying works in the same sense.

IDK just a little thought I had.

I think that the only hobbys you have are the ones that you find fun

Yeah but hobbys cost money $$$

[Revanchist]

Hobbies will always cost money, but it's all about the money/time/fun ratio if it's really worth it.

[Helix345]

win

[Mr.Puerto]

nah

[thdhted]

Absolutely not Helix. Should've just let Revan Win.

I don't know why a mod doesn't just lock the thread for an ez win tho.

[Helix345]

because that would take the fun out of it obviously

[kucsidave]

Because that would be kinda counter productive.
We love the community we have here, so locking down one of the(if not THE) most popular threads would be kinda stupid.

[Helix345]

because sometimes we chat about random stuff too

I believe that was done in the past for a few days. But it's boring that way. It's much more interesting to have a nice lively discussion while also running a never-ending game.

I think this is the place where everyone gets to know each other so it would be a shame to lock the thread because of that.

[kucsidave]

exactly. That's why this is a community, not just a bunch of people playing the same game.
We don't necessarily like everyone(because there is no way that everyone likes everyone.), but we definitely like the community as a whole, and we don't have a particular problem with anyone(to my best knowledge).

[thdhted]

Sorry 'bout that then. I was mostly joking, as literally every forum I've ever been a member of has a thread like this, though the mods lock it on occasion as a joke.

On another topic, any hopes for the Steam Summer Sale?

I'd like some more command and conquer in my life personally

Stellaris is 50% off so that's my buy probably

The Star Wars mods are starting to be really good for that game. I prefer A galaxy divided, that's a good map with pre determined starts in the Star Wars galaxy. However if you want Star Wars ships and the randomness of Stellaris, I would just get the ship packs.

[Pali]

A Galaxy Divided felt a bit too railroaded for me, at least for most of the more recognizable factions.  Many start in a federation since they were Republic members, which leaves you few diplomatic options, or they start near the Sith and are almost guaranteed to be eaten by them before long (oh, and all Leviathans spawn right in the center, so the Republic members are all but guaranteed to get them).  I admire the devotion to lore, but as a game it just didn't work for me - other than the map, ship packs and species portraits it is just a game of Stellaris with fewer options available to the player.

I'd have much preferred if they had gone the Star Trek New Horizons mod route and actually changed how the game is played.  Unique event chains, a greater focus on individual ships, the Federation being able to expand peacefully by integrating members, all helped the mod feel distinct from vanilla Stellaris in ways AGD didn't.

That's fair there's an empire mod that changes those sorts of those things. I think there is also a standalone version so you can play without the Republic, and have random empires.

[kucsidave]

I don't really enjoy stellaris.
I think it is one of the weaker games paradox made.
