You must construct additional pylons.

[King Zultan]

I wonder if you can ever construct to many pylons?

[Kagus]

I wonder if you can ever construct to many pylons?

Nonsense. You can always keep pyling more on.

[TamerVirus]

I wonder if you can ever construct to many pylons?

That depends on how much Vespene Gas you have!

[McTraveller]

I wonder if you can ever construct to many pylons?

I find it easier constructing from pylons, but I'm often backwards.

[None]

but pylons don't cost vespene gas

Hypothetically if you lose vision on your own units such that they can't be seen in fog of war, you can build structures on top of themselves, thereby allowing pylons limited only by your quantity of minerals. This was used a lot to stack photon cannons in various Use Map Settings-based tower defense maps.

This is probably fixed in newer Starcraft. All I know about newer starcraft is that zerg are too complicated, my roommate is a LOT better at the game than I am, and I accidentally got ranked to diamond after playing a handful of ranked matches and there's absolutely no goddamn way that was my correct skill level.

The package could not be delivered. First of all who delivers on a saturday... Second there was a paper, with instructions my signature, on the outside of the door, half of the other services dont even care about my signature,the ones that do told me to hang my paper outside and that that's fine. Third, well you couldnt have come 30-40 minutes earlier then, could you.



ugh

[MrRoboto75]

Oh, that's all the time.

[MrRoboto75]

Nothing in college or adult life ever magically made people any better to me, sorry.

People have told me things will get better for literal decades by now, it don't.

[Great Order]

I keep on finding accounts of people who used to be active who I remember, and seeing they last logged on 1+ years ago.

It's like coming home and finding that, while your house is still standing, all the surrounding streets have changed. There's the occasional house still standing that you remember, but they've all otherwise been replaced with high-rises, shops, and the occasional derelict.

People leaving is sadly inevitable. It's something we have no choice but to accept. There are some subs on Reddit I no longer go to, but that's cause I outgrew the content there.

Bay12 is interesting though, most people say that this is a pretty mature community. So I wonder what it takes to outgrow this? Any old regulars willing to come back from the grave to offer a perspective?

[King Zultan]

Always sad to see that someone isn't posting anymore.

[TD1]

Bay12 mixes a fairly mature clientele with topics which house great potential for immaturity.

From political discourse to plotting the demise of elves, you'll likely find something at your level.

To specifically outgrow B12? Normally it's just life things ... the time constraints of having a regular job, group of friends, partner, maybe children, and perhaps church (or bowling league) and volunteer work on the side. And any personal projects.

Additionally, the website isn't "sticky." It isn't run by the algorithm to purchase your attention. People just post what they want, mostly text, especially now that free image hosting isn't as available. So, if you aren't thinking through it (and maybe even after thinking through it), naturally almost any other site is going to seem more "exciting" than the old DF SMF forums.

And finally: so many people I knew have left here. But the Mafia oldheads who came up with me are still here, and to run the reading threads and things in a more friendly environment than like Goodreads or Storygraph. It's a perfect site for the kind of stuff that I like to do.


I'm probably still here because I refuse to use any of the big social media sites and am not eg married or part of a big community IRL. I use Discord but not eg Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok. These things are fun but I had a big change about ten years ago when I read every book I could find on social media tracking and committed to going a different way, even if I had to suffer for it.

[Frumple]

I'm mostly still here just 'cause I've been here, and I figure I'll keep being here until something happens to either me or the forum, mostly just for the heck of it at this point. It's a'ight around here, probably will be until boss toad packs it in or gets packed up, y'know?

Only other place I'm particular active these days is over on sufficient velocity, a slightly more updated forum that's collected a few other B12 folks, too. Never really got into discord, looked at it a few times, but, just... eh. Sits in a similar place to me as irc, which is kinda' "useful for a collective chat room if you, like, need that for some reason", but I... don't need that, at the mo'. Was a time waaay back I actually chatted with a handful of folks in old messenger apps, but that lapsed a long while back. These days I'm just so swamped between work and trying to care for my grandparents something as time sensitive as actual interactive communication just... doesn't work most days.

There's a lot of days it feels like I barely have time to take a shit, nevermind talk to people. Lot stuff going on the last few years have made me suspect I'm some variety of schizoid, 'cause if I weren't the social isolation I've been living through the last five or six years probably would have driven me stark raving mad or stressed to the point of stroke years ago
