Any game where you start in a lovely natural environment that you can slowly milk for profit with absolutely no care for the natural environment you're harvesting. I want to be an evil heartless bastard.

Usually with something like a factory. Factorio is the obvious example, where you land on a (decently) green planet and throughout the game build a factory that makes enough smog to blot out the sun, kill the plantlife, and pollute the water. I absolutely love Satisfactory and it gets close, but other than the buildings themselves you have very little effect on the wider game world. Eco is also theoretically a game about this, I think, but it's very multiplayer focused. Modded Rimworld is also an option.

Cannot for the life of me figure out where email or housing portal or stu-view information is for my move-in date. I know that the regular move-in date was Sept. 5th, but I opted for an earlier move-in date. The only information I've found was for my invoice telling me I had chosen an early move-in date, but not when that actually was.

I know I'd seen it when I was applying originally, but I didn't think to write it down because I'd thought it'd be on the housing portal.

Okay, so, maybe stupid question here but- when someone, either an NPC or a player, is climbing, how many hands do they have free to do things like attack or shoot a bow? I can't find any sort of rules about this in the short "movement" section of the PHB, other than without climbspeed it takes double movement, and that you should require an athletics check if the wall is hard to climb.

But like, are the PC's able to climb "one handed" and swing a sword, or are they just able to shoot a 2-handed bow because it never says otherwise, or can they not use their hands at all?

And what about climbspeed? If a player has Slippers of Spider Climbing, which gives them a climbspeed equal to their movespeed, I'd argue they should have 2 hands free because it's supposedly the slippers which are letting them "climb" the wall or ceiling. But what about the Gloves of Swimming and Climbing? Those ALSO give the wielder a climbspeed equal to their movespeed. Except it's on their hands now. And there's absolutely no distinction in the text other than the name of the magic item. (edit: Okay nevermind I somehow missed the very obvious text in the Slippers of Spider Climbing/Spiderclimb spell that say they "leave your hands free", oops)

I know the answer for all of the above is probably just "it's up to you if you want to think about it realistically", but I'd just like some clarification incase there is any in some part of the book I missed.

EDIT: The reason I was asking was moreso because I've played in 4 different tables that all had completely different rules for climbing. I was just looking for clarification just to know if there was an actual way to run climbing like this other than the vague one-line clarification the rulebook gives for athletics checks.

I've heard the intro is supposed to quickly get a level 1 party up to level 5, though both I and my group enjoy the slow progression of early levels into gradually getting higher stakes. I've also already run Lost Mines a while back for half the people in my new group, before I knew Storm King's Thunder recommended you just use that for the first 5 levels.

The ones who just played Lost Mines obviously aren't keen to replay it a second time, so I'm looking for any adventure, either from WOTC or just good homebrew!

So, I understand blocking is an incredibly important part of the melee dance on like a conceptual level. I basically only play melee in this game, because while the gunplay is satisfying I enjoy the luxury of never needing to worry about ammo resources. I'm not the most skilled, but I've clocked in nearly 400 hours and I usually play on Auric difficulty, and Auric Maelstroms if I'm feeling like a challenge. Havoc isn't really for me, but I'm pretty sure it's more gun-focused anyways.

However, despite maining melee for 300 out of those 400 hours, I barely ever block, like, at all. If there's a chaff unit about to hit me, I just shove or hit them to stagger them and then continue wailing on them. If there's an specialist/elite about to hit me, like a rager or a crusher, I just dodge out of their attack right before they hit me and then hit them from a safe distance. I practically never block attacks, opting to dodge or shove instead, no matter what class I'm playing.

Ogryn, zealot, arbitrator, hivescum, skitarii, even my psyker melee build, no matter the class or weapon, I just rarely ever bother to block in a fight. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Alright I was under the impression that a lot more people were blocking and there was something I was missing but I'm basically fine. I think my confusion came from a few classes/weapons having "perfect block" related actions and me wondering if I should be "regular" blocking at all. Also apparently Havoc is very melee focused, might give it an actual shot. Cheers!

The "vehicle" theory is one that explains how every chapter release, we learn of a new vehicle integral to the plot.

After the release of Chapter 2, a big theory in the community was the "Woody" theory. What does Woody ride? A donkey. In chapter 3, Ralsei turns into a horse, which was a very important character moment for him, so that's close enough.

After the release of Chapters 3+4, we learnt that Asgore ran over Dess in his car while drunk driving. This as far as we know kicked off most of the plot of the entire game.

After the release of Chapter 5, we learnt that Gaster is a pirate sailing the seas beyond the lake along with his motley crew, on a pirate ship. This is obviously incredibly important to the plot and explains a lot of what's going on in Hometown.

The point is, after every release, we learn about a new mode of transportation that's incredibly important to the game's story in some way.

I believe that in Chapter 6, we will learn of another incredibly important character using a plane in some way, the only question is who will be the pilot? I'm almost certain it's going to be that milk jug cat thing because he's a fucking freak. He's got that 'pilot' energy to him. This is further reinforced by Noelle in the weird route telling Kris/the player to "tell [her] to grow wings and fly, fly away from this town". Like a plane would.

As the title says, 2 days ago I spilt a bit (like half a cup) of water on the top-left corner of my Lenovo Legion 5 laptop. The keyboard began spazzing out and I remembered well enough that I should shut down my PC and unplug it. I left it for a full 24 hours, and when I came back, the keyboard was working fine, but the computer was slow. After like 5 minutes of searching for the cause I realized my fans weren't working and my core was quickly rising to 100c.

I opened the case, made sure the fans were connected (had an issue where one fan was disconnected in the past) and let it dry for another 24 hours. Yet, even then, when I booted it the next day, the fans still weren't working. I tried using MSI afterburner but I don't think I can automatically toggle the fans through that. I did Fn+Q to set the thermal fan profile but that also didn't change anything. Everything else works perfectly fine, it's JUST the fans that don't work. I'll leave it for another 24 hours but before I take it to the repair shop tomorrow, I figured I'd ask here first?

Thank you very much!

I know that asking a question like this in a sub full of players who are fans of the game is a little redundant, but if I asked this in a gaming sub I wouldn't be confident the answers weren't just people who saw/heard about the monetization and haven't played the game/expected a more action-packed game.

I've had this game on my radar for YEARS, and I might finally be getting a computer decent enough to actually run it, but anything I've read about this game would have me believe that most of the content for it is behind a paywall, but I'm not 100% sure on that yet. I very much enjoy the idea of a maybe-grindy but realistic enough space simulator, but I still want some variety in my gameplay.

Is it just ships/cosmetics that are behind paywalls? If I get the basic package, will I still be able to buy a good variety of ships and weapons? Will there be GAMEPLAY content I cannot access without paying more money? I understand getting Squadron 42 is part of a more expensive package, but I'm not interested in that. Just the main game.
