And I believe the designer got the rights back fairly recently, so I'm hoping for more of this!

Which ever episode it was were the main love triangle chick flipped her car in broad daylight on a mostly empty road with no traffic.

I realized that almost none of these characters would have survived the initial outbreak.

I've had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!

It's worse because they are a suicidal death cult.

They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.

God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways....

I managed to do the entire thing in a couple of hours.

Some pointers:

• Metal Plates. You'll need a lot of them so mine a bunch of ferrite dust if you want to speed up some of the base building, specifically for the power grid & mining.

• Chromatic Ore. Used in just about everything. Find a copper vein after you get the terrain tool, set the tool to it's smallest setting, and mine the entire vein. You'll have just about all of the Chromatic Ore you need after processing it in a refiner. If you dig a tunnel underneath the vein, you'll also avoid the weather.

• Finding water is your best bet for the crystals you need to fix the ship. Floating crystal formations also carry them on occasion, I believe.

• Take a look at the other tiers of tasks, doing them out of order is sometimes preferable. One of them grants the magna-gold recipe for another part of the ship repair.

• If you have trouble finding Larval Cores, look for distress signals from planetary charts, there's a <20% chance that they'll point you to the abandoned building that's surrounded by the eggs.

• you can build a tiny base using the 1/2 size pieces to complete the base building. They cost 1/2 as much so you need less ferrite dust.

• build the minotaur as soon as you can (via the expedition task that grants you the recipe). It can keep you safe from the weather and the hostile creatures. Plus, it'll drastically cut down on on-foot travel time until you get your ship fixed.

Hope this helps!

The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.

I had a game where done other players tried to pull the "shopping episode" stuff twice before I had to put my foot down.

We hadn't even gone on our first quest yet. We had no Gold to buy anything.

If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

The tip of this case, I believe, isn't just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

• Wasn't exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
• Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
• Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

While the company isn't required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.

I have a Tau band calling themselves Hand of Ash

Their ethereal, Loresaw Whiteash, has a previously undiscovered genetic defect that has prevented them from being fully integrated into the Subliminal collective that pushes the greater good. They haven't rejected it, but they have made plans for independence should the opportunity arrive.

Heck, I remember a company car being with around $8k salary-wise a few years ago. That was just for fuel & maintenance.

I'm on OpenSuse Tumbleweed right now.

I got tired of updating version numbers on Mint.

As a side note, just plugged in a years-old random printer/scanner combo my roommate had been trying to find driver's for, for hours, on his windows machine. It just worked immediately in Linux, didn't need to download anything. Suck it, printer!
