The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.

I'm happy to have Hexbear while the Empire is burning. It's fun to post during the last days of Rome.

I'm not sure if I want to open myself up about "this". It's not because I feel vulnerable, but because some people might think less of me for it. In a way, it's showing someone a massive weak spot that could be used against me. So, while I'm writing this, it seems obvious to me that it is foolish. Yet still, I have a lingering urge to share some of these feelings.

Truthfully, I have never shared this with anyone. Not even in a therapy setting have I felt comfortable enough to do so. I did nothing illegal, so don't worry. Its also nothing sex related.

Hypothetical. Imagine I killed someone in self-defense. Even if people might be sympathetic, they would view me differently after I told them that. It would change my relationship with them. This is just an example for something that has the potential to greatly change the dynamic between people.

I DIDNT KILL SOMEONE.

Any input would be appreciated.

EDIT OK. I talked with someone about it. Feel a bit better. Probably wont disclose it on Hexbear but thanks for all the input.

So, I'm pretty much a layman when it comes to modding, game development, coding, etc. With that said, am I correct in thinking that creating a small to midsized mod for a game like Stellaris is a much smaller/easier undertaking than even a simple indie game?

If I want to get started in that direction, creating a small (functional) Stellaris mod might be a good idea?

I haven't played a longer session of Stellaris in quite a while, but I think I'm back. It's really quite fun, and the current version of the game feels very polished, coming from someone who has been playing Stellaris since 2016 (I "only" have 660 hours in it).

I've actually never finished a full game of Stellaris. I usually play max-size galaxies, so that might have something to do with it, but I run out of steam after 15-20 hours. This time, though, I want to try to stick it out until the end, either winning or dying trying.

I know some people dread micromanagement, but I love juggling different resources and maximizing my economy in this game. It also helps that I actually enjoy warfare most of the time in Stellaris, which I can't say for all Paradox games.

I usually play some degree of Spiritualists or Xenophiles, but with the last DLC being focused on machines, I had to bring some robots. So, I'm playing as Fanatic Militarist/Authoritarian bots. It's going pretty well—I have 3 vassals/tributaries, and I'm the strongest force in the Galactic Community.

I want to give Fanatic Pacifists a try sometime and play a very diplomacy-focused game with lots of envoys

The graphics show the biggest free features of patch 1.7. I've heard from people online that the performance improvements are quite real.

Here is the changelog https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/victoria-3-dev-diary-122-sphere-of-influence-and-update-1-7-kahwah-changelog.1689255/

Im currently busy with a Stellaris game but I will check out Vicky 3 again after some hotfixes.

So my dad has a cellar that is completely empty. We just store some plants there during the winter months. Now, I had an idea. In theory, I could plant around 100 mushrooms down there, right? There is a little bit of light coming in through a small window. Climate-wise, we are in Central Europe.

Is there anything I should know or be aware of? Are there any mushroom types that are beginner-friendly? I would plant them for personal consumption, for me and my relatives.

Bad Idea ? Good Idea ?

Should I watch it ? Is it "good" ? I heard some super high praise from some people -better than Frieren they said (which im sceptical of) Please no spoilerinos :3

DONT JUST UPBEAR ! Tell me what you think ..pwease ?

EDIT Thank you for your responses everyone. I started the show and might make a thread after im done.

It's cute girls doing cute things, but it also seems to have some yuri (lesbian elements). I don't wanna spoil it for people who haven't seen it yet, but it's about a bunch of girls that come together to make art. Really cute and gets kinda emotional towards the end (at the moment, episode 10).

Good stuff though. Might be one of my favorite shows this season. I'm not really active in anime circles, but I got the impression it might fly a bit under the radar (or am I overhyping it?)
