    Lyrics:

    spoiler

    Pull the plug (x8)


    I drove my truck into a moving van

    It was all filled up with jet fuel and

    I crashed right in and explosion

    Smash through the window and ripped off my hands

    Medical team drove up and found me

    Bleeding in pieces picked up off the street

    Drove me into a filthy hospital

    Horror experienced financially

    Woke up in pain in a gown in bed

    Internal hemorrhaging inside my head

    I really think that I should be dead

    I saw the bill and then I cry bled

    To keep me alive it is costing me

    National deficit times three

    There is no way to avoid this fee

    Please pull the plug and kill me


    It’s costing too much

    Pull the plug

    It’s costing too much

    Pull the plug (x16)


    Aneurysm

    Botulism

    Epilepsy

    Narcolepsy

    Pull the plug

    Nearsighted

    Breath lighted

    Cataracts

    Heart attacks

    Pull the plug

    Hepatitis

    Bronchitis

    Appendicitis

    Arthritis

    Pull the plug

    Encephalitis

    Adenitus

    Mastoiditus

    Capsulitus

    Pull the plug now (x4)


    Pay you my life instead of life support

    Harvest my plasma because it’s worth more

    Take all my blood and my organs

    Sell them to buyers over in third worlds

    Burn my cadaver for some energy

    Charge the patients in their misery

    Such a strong quarter for the industry

    Pharmaceutical fucking victory


    Can’t pay the price

    Pull the plug

    Pay with my life

    Pull the plug

    Say my farewell

    Pull the plug

    See you in hell

    I’ll fucking pull the plug





  • Great game. First got recommended it here (I saw the game before but didn’t really pay much attention to it) and I love it so much. I’ve always stayed away from city builders cause I feel like they turn into something I don’t really care for as the game goes on, but the short scale rogue lite nature of this works incredibly well for me.

    I really like that settlements are inherently temporary and that the game throws a lot of wrenches at me. It’s a good reminder to try and strive for flexibility rather than optimization. Settlements don’t have to be perfect (and likely won’t be), they just have to work well enough to get to the next.

    They’ve also added a ton of content and quality of life stuff since I last played a few patches ago. The UI still has some issues, but auto loading saved production limits and the overlay keys for buildings and workers make it so much easier to see what’s going on at a macro level.

    Tip for new players: after you get your bearing in game (maybe 1 or 2 settlements), take some time to just go through and check out the overlays. You can easily do stuff like move workers around or see and adjust recipes of all buildings on your map at once. I only just found those options and it’s a godsend compared to menu diving.



  • Great point honestly. I was only writing that comment from the perspective of answering troubleshooting centric questions. Not everyone who browses the internet has the same ability to see though, and while I imagine screen readers have some ability to process images (I’ve never used one so I don’t know specifically), I can only assume that actual text is much easier.

    I know that text for me is much easier than screenshots, cause I’ve adjusted the font size and type in my browser to suit my preferences. Can’t do that for an image.


  • If it’s for textual information, I’m personally a fan of covering all bases. Screenshot, link to site, and quoted relevant text.

    Webpages can change, but screenshots can stop being hosted with no warning and any text in screenshot form can’t easily be copy and pasted. Quoted text is essentially the longterm accessible failsafe. Text in comments tends to last much longer than images or links.




  • Hell yeah, 4U is a great intro to the series. I started with Freedom Unite but it didn’t stick. Played Tri for the wii and that’s what really got me into it (which is weird cause tri is clunky as hell and I think has the least content of any mainline game).

    Never really got into charge blade, but GenU did a lot of favors for my two favorite weapons at the time, great sword and gunlance, and the online bosses are absolutely nuts.

    Rise is probably my favorite gameplay wise, but I prefer the pre-world armor skill system, and I’m not too keen on the Sunbreak endgame grind.

    As far as old titles go, Freedom Unite is very iconic and has a ton of content, but I like portable 3rd way more. The general atmosphere of the areas and town are excellent, and it introduces Zinogre to the game so well. There’s also an english patch floating around for it if you can’t read japanese.




  • It’s really wild that so many comments in this thread are mocking naive or inneficient ways of doing stuff, without actually giving any info on how to do things better. Or worse, people are spouting niche keyboard shortcuts without giving the context they’re used in, or what those shortcuts even do.
