Eh prom was the last time I saw a bunch of people I was fond of. Granted I graduated before Facebook was a thing but I bet everyone these days says “we’ll stay in touch” but never does.

Prom shouldn’t be important but I hope people have fun memories

Hong Kong

I just expected like a flat New York “too tame to be fun” city but was met with mountains, beaches, and so many bizarre but charming events.

Not that I don’t like New York but it has changed a lot. I don’t want to say it lost its personality but I feel like a lot of big cities have become idk… commercialized?

The food in Hong Kong was pretty disappointing tho or maybe I built it up too much in my head. I went to so many restaurants that were recommended to me by either locals or expats and they were all so bland. Which is wild because I didn’t have to go far across the border into China to find amazing dishes.

Yeah I think men and women should all have some basic level of repair skills. I feel like somewhere along the line everyone got too afraid to break things or hurt themselves.

Have you tried switching to diet sodas?

My wife had an eating disorder from her teens to her thirties. To get a feeling of being full she would drink diet sodas. It’s a habit she still keeps even though she’s able to eat less restrictively these days.

People with EDs generally don’t have great teeth so she’s always been super paranoid about hers. Her dentist said to counter the acid she should drink with a straw and finish it in one go then wash her mouth with water.

Probably not helpful but just incase

That and even if I agree with a lot of the posts you’ll notice that they’re posted by the same people at a very alarming rate. I’ve ran through and blocked anyone who posts the same topic every 6 minutes. Since then my feed has been less monotonous and slightly more authentic.

My wife and I did those $300 10 segment passes and it was alright but got the feeling it was for poor college students. We basically went around the USA counter clockwise starting in NC.

I’m glad we went but it really highlighted that for us the adventure is the journey not the destination. We love roadside tourist traps and shit so we didn’t get to do a lot of those.

Hey dawg, sorry for the late reply.

I’d also suggest that you remove the organ harvesting mod as that one is a bit too OP. We tend to add mods and just limit our use of them if we find them to be too strong.

Besides that, if you need me to condense a list if my “must haves” or any other question feel free to ask!

I think we didn’t share colonist because half the fun is building up colonist you care about. It also adds a slightly competitive aspect where it’s fun to make fun of how jank the other persons colony looks. We’d usually find a map with a river that splits it in half and just flip a coin on who gets what half.

For traders we would split the components which was kinda difficult to do before we downloaded a mod that allows colonist to grab x items.

Rimpy is the mod manager we used and I’ll send you the list of mods we used in mp. I’m at work rn and not sure how to post a text file on here but here’s the contents of my .txt mod file that you can paste into rimpy to import.

The ones that say local mod you’ll have to download manually through rimpy because rimpy likes to glitch and call some mods local that aren’t. You can ignore core and biotech though since those are local.

I’ll try to edit this later to highlight some of the more important ones. You should turn off Factional war and raid extension for your first runs though bc those add random hostile parties to the map that might kill a colonist.

For mod specific tips I’d say the hygiene mod sounds silly but adds a lot of QOL like simple heating. If you’ve ever tried to balance the stupid space heaters you’ll know what I mean.

Here’s the google spreadsheet with all multiplayer mod compatibility ratings. A green/4 is great no issues but 3S aren’t bad.

My friend and I basically played it as two different colonies on the same map. We’d just cut the spawning area in half and make our own base on each side. Helping each other out in big raids and going out on trips together.

For rimworld tips I don’t want to info overload you or spoil things you’d naturally come across so here’s some things I think might help with that early game info overload.

Lots of things in the farming menu but you can just grow rice and ignore the rest. Healroot for meds ofc tho

If you get into nutrient paste you don’t need a dude who can cook (which is basically a full time job). There’s even a bigger nutrient paste network in one of the mods (I think one of the vanilla expanded ones).

Struggling with keeping an area too cold or hot? Double wall that area

No pyromaniac colonist

It doesn’t matter too much what stats you start your colonist with but try for like no negatives and not too old. You definitely do want one or two medics at the start of the game tho.

Colonist happiness is what you’ll probably find the most annoying as a new player. Just hover over them to see what’s bothering them and fix it. Drug policy sounds intimidating but it’s really easy and I just reuse the same bs policy I found someone using online. So you might have to grow a few plants for beer and weed.

If you have any more questions please reach out. Hope that helps!

I’ve exclusively played rimworld using the multiplayer mod and it’s a dream even with 90 other mods on. Can’t recommend enough!

Rim World and Going Medieval are my go to city builder / colony sims. Atrocities are rewarded in those two!

>In response to a criticism of male aggression, I explained female aggression and how it is modified in a postmodern social media driven world, and potential impacts of that, which shows exactly the dangers of just going with the flow.

No, you tried to allude that women were going to be the downfall of society because they don’t like being approached. You tried to back that up with the most drawn-out take that I basically summed up as “only assholes allowed to date now because 30 million bullies and they’re gonna have asshole kids and and and have you seen idiocracy??”

You’re trying to make it seem like people haven’t always been afraid of asking someone out and fear what might happen if they do. You think small town gossip pre internet was any better? You think confident guys haven’t always done better?

Also, do you think when women ask to not be approached that they literally mean leave them alone like nuns? I’m not here to teach you when you it’s ok to ask someone out.

Dawg, you gotta stop trying to use your own book to try and bring validity to this. It’s weird and no one’s read or is going to read that shit.

Getting pretty big “women only date assholes” vibes.

Before the internet I’m sure women were lining up around the block for those non-“loutish” men. Fear of rejection? What’s that? some of that newfangled internet nonsense is what that is.

Darn women ruining everything
