  1. I've been playing stellaris all day.

    No, I do not regret it.

     

    Anyway, I have 9 planets, and terraforming another. But there were practically NONE tundra, artic, or alpine worlds near me, which stunted my growth, and let my neighbors box me in. So I'm pretty clustered. Thankfully they like me.

    And because of me needing frontier outposts to keep territory, my influence dropped, so when my scientists and leaders started to die, research went slow, and I couldn't get new ones.

    Ascension perks are good, should be able to get megastructures at some point, and my tech level is ok, but everyone is superior or overwhelming (again, crap planets at the start). I think I'll increase the hab planet percentage and play in a small galaxy next time (I'm in a tiny one).

    I think it's picking up again though, mineral/energy production are around 50-65 right now, unity is really high too 70 something I think, my food limit is still 200, but I'm making more than enough, and I have a 4.4k fleet. I also have 400-500 influence, somewhere around there.

      Well that was fun while it lasted.

      Freaking AI contingency got me while I was still stunted, add to that I had just ended a war with a fallen empire (I won by waiting and going back and forth)

      So I started a new game,  similar traits, except militarist instead of zenophile. Growing better, but everyone is still bigger... gonna need to build up a fleet. 

  2. @SuperFastJellyfish I just went to Instagram to see if he shared pics there, and sure enough
  3. Sorry if this was posted earlier, but gUYS From a day ago.
  4. Yeah, it was once my go-to site for exoplanets news and new space tech... now look at it.
  5. Yeah yeah, necroposting - anyway, i was going through to see if there were any Stellaris threads (I may make one since I could be getting the game soon, like who you play as, what you do, etc), and I came across my old post. Naturally, I went to see if this person made a video, so I search 'Fruit loops Stellaris' and found this So I guess that is a yes. Again, sorry mods for the necroposting.
  6. So, a Mars-like planet that's probably warmer, and a Mars-like planet that could be more similar to Earth? Cool. Hopefully they get confirmed
  7. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Do you think it'll be added to PHL? Those are exotic for sure. And, so basically, the first planets we ever discovered.... are technically potentially habitable, given extreme conditions? Wow.
  8. 2nd stage is there, just not the payload/fairing... maybe they want to keep something under wraps for now? I don't know their reasoning. Or they just wanted to show the rocket is here and (nearly) ready. Plus, you know, HYYYPE.
  9. We've actually talked a few times over facebook, but the signal sucks, so it's really hard to talk more than a few minutes. I have been thinking of learning her language... I should ask sometime - probably not now though, for personal reasons on her end I can't explain. Yeah, we do that already we keep each other updated and stuff. Anyway. If something happens with us, I'll definitely come here and say something.
  10. Okay. Since we live in different countries, do you think I should wait? Maybe until sometime next year when we're older?
  11. Alright.. Part of me doesn't want to say anything either, because I don't want to make things really awkward between us. Especially since we're working on something right now, and I'm having fun with her doing it. Yeah, I don't want to come off as weird or creepy either.
  12. Yeah, there's a lot trust between us. But I'm pretty nervous, and don't know if it's enough (Anxiety, yay). Countries. I mean, there's plenty of people who end up getting together despite being separated like that... but I don't know if it's too early, you know? Late teens.
  13. Oh boy, here I go. I don't know if I'll act on any advice you give me, because I feel like I'm in a pickle, but at least some idea of what to do will be nice. There's this girl I like, we're really good friends, and we talk a lot every day online. We even sent each other Christmas presents earlier last month. But I don't know how to say that I like her. Now here's the thing; we're long distance friends right now, and we're working on some stuff together, and I don't want to ruin it if it turns out she doesn't like me back the same way. I'm pretty sure we'd still be friends, but it's not 100%; She's also not into romantic stuff like books or movies, and it kind of carries over to her life. As you can imagine, the anxiety is high with me. If I do tell her, should I keep it short and sweet, or a bit longer? Or somewhere in between? Luckily, our interests are actually really similar, except I'm a bit more into sci-fi than she is, she's a bit more into fantasy than I am; but we write both genres, and we're fans of Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, the likes. Okay, I'm pressing reply.....
  14. The flight is gonna be fantastic. I cannot wait. Great pic! Did you make it? Or find it somewhere?
  15. Hey everyone!

    So.............. writing.

    I have some pretty good ideas for Infinitum, I think you'll like them :) And I think the storyline will be infinitely better honestly. I'll release a brief overview of the plot on the main thread before Christmas.

    My friend and I are busy with our Urban/Science fantasy novel Nathan Frost Exousia Project.
    And lemme tell you, it's probably the coolest thing I've ever worked on, Harry Potter? Heh, we're gonna blow it out of the water.

     

    I really really want to finish Infinitum and The Children Between Worlds, so I'll probably be doing those simultaneously while my friend and I are planning it out.

    But, er, I'm starting Calculus soon. Any tips please? I really suck at math :( Once it clicks, it's great! But it takes so. long. to get to that point. :/
    I don't need a step by step guide, just important rules, general stuff, and things to remember, etc

      I love math sooooo much. My simple rules are just treat it like a puzzle. It makes it infinitly more enjoyable.

       

      Oh, have you read Artemis, the new Andy Weir book? What did you think?

      Oh, no. But I want to soo bad. How is it?

      The book is pretty good but not as good as The Martian. There were a couple of loose ends and charecter development is not as good.

  16. 20 returned boosters now - and a few of them flew more than once. https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/941695796881190912
  17. Correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be landing on the landing pad,? Or is it the barge?
  18. T-10 seconds !!! And we have liftoff!! Awesome launch, sooty looks great.
  19. Watching now! Looks like they have the technical webcast again.
  20. According to the calculator here; the potentially habitable world K2-18b has a surface gravity of 14.9 m/s^2, or 1.52x the gravity of Earth. Not bad in all honesty; considering it's almost 2.3x the radius of Earth. But it's probably a super water-world. Could be fun for JWST to check out :)
