Pet peeves: The return (Part 13)

My doggo needs an operation on his paw to remove a cyst Q_Q Noooo.

So that’s what blood sport is huh…

I’m used to typing an extra space after the final exclamation mark in my says (e.g. "Greetings! ") to avoid triggering the foot-stomp animation. Unfortunately, this habit has become so ingrained that I now have to actively suppress myself from doing so on non-night elf alts.

Ugh, last I tried that it still did the damn !!! thing, for me at least.

You’ve been replaced cell by cell since then. That person is dead. At least there’s continuity of consciousness. Unless this mandela effect thing is due to imperfect copying…

Part of me does delight in inflicting existential dread.

Yeah but what if that part is replaced?

I am continuously remade imperfectly. Time passes through me each cycle, leaving its mark and taking a piece with it until the cycle becomes unsustainable. If, at some point, I’ve lost all that I was, I am then as I am and who I was is no more.

It’s not a frightening process. I’m aware that I’m not who I was a decade ago while also being the product of those experiences.

As we are unmade, we continue existing in the thoughts of those around us. That too is an imperfect echo that will fade.

All that remains is dust. And microplastics.

Well those parts of us aren’t getting replaced.

Well, we can either work on that biotech to purify our bodies and cease using plastic or give up across four generations as we become increasingly unable to even think of solutions.

But hey, at least the oil will run out?

Crush the dead to make more oil.

…what? It’s a reasonable and sensible idea that makes use of a neglected section of society!

Game peeve. They reworked stellaris’ planet window again. It is not good.

Oh no. What now?

Well my starting capitol world has 4k pops from the word go. So I’m not sure how that helps pop management and lag.

Essentially they’ve made pop groups… that distribute somehow. It’s… otherwise difficult to describe.

(I don’t ahve the trust level to link)

I guess some people’s solution to purge the galaxy of other species until the lag goes away just became less viable…

I’m still waiting out a few patches to get those juicy meat ships I’ve wanted for literal years now.

Lab grown meat ships?

I feel like this would be the name of some all-you-can-eat challenge in a restaurant or something.

Having played a few scenarios, including cheating because I’m testing it, it’s actually not that bad. The high pop has little impact outside of a number on the planet screen - it doesn’t even track pop empire wide on the menu bar anymore afiak.

The screen itself DOES steadily become a bunch of sub menus with big numbers being thrown around but… I prefer the old screen. Heck I prefer the original screen from launch, but the current one is ok in terms of function.

It’s just seriously ugly and cluttered to look at.

You know, this is the first time I can post Ship of Theseus Simpsons memes and have them make sense. But I have none to hand!

Like liquorice boats, but raw.
