'Sides, being a god seems too easy, and I like dakka.


Dakka?

I got a laptop, so it's tiny screws. And an as of yet unbreachable seam.


Ah, laptop. Never mind.

At least until it freezes again. I honestly don't know why, but it's either something to do with the software or the hardware, and in the latter case I can't do shit because it's a prebuilt distributed by HP with a case whose bottom cover literally cannot be opened without some kind of extremely small specialized tool. As even a credit card wasn't enough. So I hope it's just software related issues.


Usually those are just going to be bolts keeping the case from falling apart. I don't think I've seen a case where there's not a normal sized bolt somewhere.
Yeah, I actually prefer to run empires as opposed to being a god. You don't have to be there for everything that happens, you just need to say that you have someone assigned to whatever needs doing.


Delegation is the key to management, life, and empire building.

Alright, it offered zero information as to why it froze, but since Chrome was the only thing running at the time I'll assume it was another conflict with my Radeon graphics card and YouTube, since they mentioned freezing as an issue that cropped up when viewing the site in one of their old patch notes. Granted, that was for Internet Explorer/Edge, so I've no idea why Chrome would be the cause but it's all I've got.

EDIT: And what do you know, there's a software update available for my GPU's drivers.


Nice, gg.
It would be a good way to introduce Lash anyways. Really outlines how powerful Lash is.


Yeah, I think it would work out.

Alright PC is back up, but I'm going to be digging in Event Viewer to see what exactly might have caused the freeze.


Youch. Diagnostics stuff.
Are we going on majority vote, or should I ask Melodious as well?


On whether he can be there? It's most likely a yes, but Melodious has the final say, since it's his fight. We're usually not super formal about things.

There's no guarantee I'll still be on the site when he goes down, and it would be a pain to keep going with just "I send out my forces, they're not powerful enough and Nemid destroys them," so I'm not willing to put in the time investment and take that risk when I can effectively automate the process.


I doubt Nemid will be that long. But who knows.
Nemid wouldn't be the first multi-irl-year threat we've seen =P

'Sides, since they're psychic, Lash could have a Technomorph interface with a drone and control it psychically, allowing him to give commands and witness the battle without crossing the barrier. Barring raids for biomass, Lash could have one of his hijacked ships stay above, being fed biomass to produce creatures it can then send down to supplement the growing swarm planetside.


Standing outside the barrier and sending drones is probably a decent strategy, unless Nemid can convert those over to his own power.
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If the infestation grows large enough...


Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That's not the worst of problems. Lash doesn't care about his people (no Wither in charge does) and knows that even if he loses everything he sends in, the sheer creation rate of the Withers would easily outstrip that. Heck, since he's so sadistic, he'll probably take some joy from sending someone to retrieve you from the storm just for you to realize that you're still just as trapped as before.


He’ll have to take down Nemid in the process to get rid of the one-way barrier =P
