One way we could liven this community up is to share seeds in a dedicated pinned thread. I understand it might seem redundant because Discord or elsewhere might have a more exhaustive list already, but lemmy is actually the most accessible site for me and i really don't mind people copy and pasting seeds from discord or reddit to here.

Also, i'm interested particularly in people here sharing cool seeds they find.

One seeded runs i'm on the lookout for the moment is something to help me practice with Certificate, e.g generates certificate early on.

e.g It might teach you to ride the wave of destiny, and treat life more like a rollercoaster than a linear videogame that you're supposed to grind and minmax in.

In Britain we have a load of royal named things, e.g "The King's Head," "The Prince Henry," or animal themed pubs like "The Three Pikes," The Red Lion (most common oub name) or something gorey like "The Hanged Man," "The Village Chopping Block." On that note, we also have pubs named after landmarks, e.g "The Old Oak," "The Anvil."

Any more modern establishment like a bar can have posher or more postmodern names. Sometimes jokey names.

I was struck by a realisation thst i don't know how other countries name their pubs amd bars. Would be helpful to know, for understanding other cultures. I even don't know for places like the USA, which also speak English. Excited to hear your responses!

5 months ago I made a post bemoaning the fact that i came right up to ante 8 and only just failed to scrape past the boss blind.

Today I am proud to announce that I made it through Jokerless Challenge, comfortably, and I have a video documenting how it went if anyone is curious.

I think a lot of RNG went in my favour so it's very satisfying to watch in that regard. Kind of like seeing Domino in Deadpool 2.

Video is 28 mins long so no shame in skipping it or only watching a bit.

Key to this was using Hieroglyph and Petroglyph at the start of the game after having acquired 2 jupiter cards

I found this super interesting, they've covered the prequel trilogy so far and there's some things in it i would not have been able to pick up on my own.

They plan to cover various star wars serieses like Maul Shadow Lord after doing the OT movies. One presenter is a lecturer on politics, not sure the other guy's qualifications but he also has great insights.

It also raises questions for me about the prequel trilogy. One on my mind at the moment is - why did the seperatists and republic actually go to war? The truest answer of course is that Palpatine wanted it, and manipulated eventd to make it look like both sides were starting on one another, but i wonder why any star system would join up an alliance lead by corporations who say "oh yeah we're building a robot army and we want to f the republic's ship up. Nope we're not going to peacefully secede. That's for losers."

"Criticizing Google CEO's UofA Commencement Speech Where He Got Booed"

Not many people have made videos on this event and i think Molly Rocket is right to do one on the topic.

Piped links:

there is SO MUCH booing in this. This speech really should be talked about more. Listen to how many people hate AI. Just one university out of hundreds in just one country.

Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

Even the most cosmetic farmland can reach almost maximum productivity, thanks to the aqueducts. There's much less reason to fuss over productivity specialists in this one.

Here's some more screenshots I wanted to share:

Cow farm island.

The smallest island in the game used to it's fullest. (probably best to use with farmland rather than amber forest camps, like i have done)
