You’re right and I’m misremembering how it happened. I really thought DOMA was later. I’m not sure the distinction between invalidating in verse repealing it. He may have seemed more pro-LGBTQ since others were more outwardly against it.

Voted against DOMA and eventually repealed it. There were some weird semantics about naming nomenclature of calling it a marriage in the early 2000’s. During the primaries he gave vague answers about some religions being opposed to it but did flip from earlier statements about same-sex marriages in his earlier career
Granted, you’re technically right. Support for it was certainly a large part of Obama’s campaign though. It’s unclear what the overall result would have been for Obergfell vs Hodges with an administration that would have been vitriolic to the ruling.
I had a friend who is gay and supported Mitt Romney back in the day. He campaigned against gays. Obama won and legalized same-sex marriage. She is now married to her wife. Reminds me of her
Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Stamets has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try
But think of the poor Shareholders (/s)
Oh DF is definitely a deeper world. There are a lot more knobs to turn (obvious or not). I’ve seen some really cool colonies and worlds. I’m just not very apt at building them myself.
Another comment made a good point that DF did come before, with Rimworld building on what DF made. It’s difficult (for me at least) to go backwards. Like I really enjoyed Baulder’s Gate 3 and tried the original but couldn’t get into it :/
The world building element in DF is so cool. Like the world is generated and aged and has history. Rimworld’s planet feels flat in comparison.
Huh, I didn’t know that history. But that makes some more sense. It’s always difficult going “backwards” in a game. Like if you play the latest in a series, the first is more “meh”. Respect where due - I appreciate that DF paved the way.
DF definitely didn’t feel as intuitive. A game like that needs a Weenie Hut Jr tutorial to introduce you since a lot of the mechanisms don’t make overt connections (to me at least). I remember some elves came to trade and I offered them a bunch of stuff but they got pissed off and rejected it. Some googling later let me figure out they don’t like wooden things :[ but I didn’t know that going in and it would have helped to know
I hear that. I did try to pregame and watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials before jumping into DF. Still had to Google a bunch of stuff. I remember feeling frustrated trying to make soap (even with a flow chart). Like I made the workstation for it but no soap came. Then I learned I needed lye but didn’t know how to make it. Learned it came from the butcher but didn’t know how to hunt @_@ a lot of those stacked and I eventually gave up.
I only recently got Ideology for Rimworld and am exploring that now :) lots more in the other DLCs to play through too
I may be looking at it from owly playing on the Steam Deck too, like never having a keyboard and mouse made a lot of it difficult and gave me a sore thumb lol.
I wanted to play vanilla to understand the mechanics before modding, so I could appreciate the quality-of-life improvements. I definitely have a bunch I play with in Rimworld.
Very good points. My colonies haven’t gotten quite as big as 50 - I think 14 was my max. I know about making zones and assigning people, but I haven’t had a colony that warrants that kind of macro.
I feel more of a personal connection to my pawns in Rimworld. Like I want my shooter to have a good quality gun and armor, or my guy that likes melee to have good armor. DF was like “build gauntlets” and then “assign pawns to be in a garrison”, but I didn’t really know specific pawns. Too many to manage individually. That was my comparison with Sims vs Sim City (I hear you on the scale though)
This is the first step to having magnetic wheels become a thing. We know canonically Jim Kirk’s motorcycle uses these, so it’s definitely mainstream by ~2250.
Honorable mention: the Bell Riots happen September this year, and it seems we’re on track for those too
To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡
It was over 410:1 when I started a job in 2012. My company may have been an outlier :/ I hope it improves
FML you’re right :( just saw this pop up in a news feed. Party of law and order at work
My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won’t be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰
Dvorak exclusively. This thread is the most I’ve heard of other people using it. To date, I’ve met 2 people who have HEARD of it, but no one else who uses it
