I have to disagree on this one. Playing Sins of a Solar Empire with the ST mod made me love seeing the basic shape, but exceedingly formidable Borg cube showing up in a space battle and absolutely annihilate the opposition. Admittedly, a mod update had to nerf the Borg a bit after people complained. You needed to go after their resources to beat the Borg, but even then it was difficult if the player had developed the assimilation ability. Anyhow, that cube just had an awesome and dominating presence. I love it. I also highly recommend Sins with the Trek mod. Hours of ST immersion.
Yes but it still looks like wombat shit. Exceedingly formidable wombat shit.
Your comment made me realize I had an id10t whoosh moment here. I didn’t realize wombats actually pooped cubes. What a dummy. Thanks!
That was still a very heartfelt reply and I appreciated it. I don't think you came off any way at all other than passionate
Please don't talk down to yourself. Learning new things is inspiring!
Your comment made me realize ~~I had an id10t whoosh moment here. I didn’t realize~~ wombats actually pooped cubes. ~~What a dummy.~~ Thanks!
♥️♥️ Your comment just struck a chord with me so I wanted to ask you to not be so hard on yourself
Aw shucks…thank you! When I replied I had an inkling that I might be missing an inside joke or a meme or something, but I got spun up on how cool the Borg cubes were in Sins. I had no idea wombats created cubes irl so yes I did learn something and appreciated that. My self-inflicted aspersions were more in a good natured way, but I appreciate your comment. This is all light stuff in the scheme of things and I have made far more severe mistakes in life with decidedly more significant consequences. Some of those were very tough to rise above. They still humble me.
Thanks again, I do appreciate you and your reaching out!
Oh is there still an active modding scene for the game?
It’s been years and years but the games were such a gem for half-way chill LAN party battles while having a snack, a chat and a bit of an interstellar romp.
Do you have some other mods you might recommend?
It looks like there are newer versions out there of these mods, yes. Sacrifice of Angels and Armada are the main ST mods we played as I recall. I’ve been away from the game for a couple of years, but plan on getting back into it (with Linux). There are also some good SW mods. They really make the game more fun in my opinion. Go to moddb.com and see the list. It’s the Rebellion version that got the most mods.
For those who don’t, they poop cubes
I don't!
Then you don’t know shit homie
A'ight, for the rest of the world, Wombats poop cubes....
hold on, gotta duckduckgo something
yeah this is funny
Wake up, gang, new reaction image just dropped:
i would be honored if you used this version but ultimately im just using a tumblr meme 😅
I used "cubiclewombatpoop" as an example of a solid password in my security presentation. :)
I love making up passwords. I'm so proud of my passwords I want to tell them to everyone!
Thanks, I needed a new secure password for my Lemmy account.
What password? I just see ******************
I think I got hacked so I had to change it to hunter2
I've heard the healthier the wombat, the cubier the poo.
Geez Fossil. You’re on fire with these🔥
Man that really cracked me up
I get this.
So... is their asshole a square hole or a round hole?
no, this looks like shit: 💩
