Oh boy my family are so not-drinkers. x')

Eh, bowling is about the same as playing darts or anything at a bar while discussing. Doesn't matter whose turn it is, just talk with people, and at some point somebody's gonna speak louder when you haven't heard "Req, it's your turn!" the three previous times. You let that happen once or twice and use it to check who's going before you, and you keep them in the corner of your eye to know when you're about to go up, then stop caring about the bowling for the rest of the evening.

Req's just an introvert and there's nothing wrong with that. I am too. I would argue the fact its a work function is worse than the activity being bowling.

I don't think it applies retroactively. I've reached sector 8 with about half the type B ships, and I don't have any type C layouts unlocked.


Confirmed to not work retroactively. I've beaten the game with every ship and every layout and I don't have any C type ships.

Ugh, I REALLY don't want to play stealth cruiser B and zoltan B again, those gave me nightmares.


WTF Zoltan B is one of the best ships in the game. Never take damage in early sectors because of your OP as fuck Zoltan Shield, plus a weapon layout that's very adaptable and works with anything you find.


Sorry, I hated every inch of it. While my high score for it isn't the lowest among the ships I played I definitely got stuck on it far longer than any other ship variant. I had no problem in early sectors but later sectors were a major issue, I know at least a few times I was unable to significantly damage the enemy ships before they sunk me. The most frustrating time I could damage the shield system with the pike beam but it didn't matter at that point since that was the extent of my reach and they repaired it too fast for attrition to work. Other than that I don't know what to say because I finished the game ages ago. Until it performs better in my experience I maintain that it sucks, there are other ships where I completely steamrolled the rest of the game so even if it's not bottom tier I find it hard to place Zoltan B anywhere near the top.


What ships are better than Zoltan B?

There's Crystal B (totally overpowered), Crystal A, Engi A (debatable) and then maybe Mantis B if you get lucky with early crew pickups.

There's no way you were stuck on Zoltan B for longer than some of the trash ships like Engi B or Rock.


I liked both the mantis ships though mantis B had a rockier start in favor of an absolutely crushing crew game. I had less trouble with the fed cruisers. The rock ships were weird but not awful. Engi B *was* one of the ships I got a little down about. My ship high scores list goes Crystal B, Fed B, Rock A, Mantis A, Slug A, though I wouldn't necessarily say they're the best (except for crystal B of course) but they were in my experience more playable. As for Rock cruiser B I beat the game with it on my first try. So, yeah, I didn't get stuck on that.

Now, the caveat is that after the beating the game with a ship I didn't return to it afterwards, by the time I had finished every ship/variant I was burned out (zoltan B did *not* help). So if some crazy people have been continuing to play the game like Northernlion still plays Binding of Isaac I suppose their opinions probably have more value. I'll probably revisit every ship/variant as I try to beat hard mode but while that may change my opinion it certainly can't change what happened to me with Z-B.

Fair enough ketchup. He may just be saying that. He also said "socializing is butts".

Alzadar, now there's a man who hates bowling.

I'm also introverted, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the occasional outing. Introversion more means that you recharge by being by yourself, while extroverts recharge by being with people.

There's a difference between anti-social and introverted.

I dislike bowling because it's boring and I'm bad at it.

I also dislike socializing but company outings are ok because free food and elbow rubbing with the boss.

I've actually never heard of hating bowling before now. I'd like to know what the reasons are if you know what they are(don't know who Alzadar is). It doesn't seem like a sport where you can really do much wrong. Then again, that can really be said for any sport.

I spend a lot of my spare time reading about this stuff... I wasn't trying to give that impression that it's "anti-social". I would wager Req would rather... read a book, watch a tv show, play a game, paint figurines etc. Interacting with people that aren't in your small circle as an introvert is a lot of work. You have to do it every day anyways so the work outing it just another thing when maybe he's ready to recharge? I can be crazy and funny when I'm with 4 of my closer buddies. Work outing, I sit next to the one or two other people I feel comfortable with. I can make small talk about I don't want to. I'd rather... play my DS :O

Alzadar just posted a few times on the apparent atrocity that is bowling a page or two ago lol

I apologize if I overstepped anywhere, not trying to profile people, this is stuff I think about frequently. I would also bet $100 Req's an introvert regardless but w/e

Yeah, I was being a bit too critical. I prefered not socializing in work environments a few months ago, but I've gotten more comfortable with it now that I know people in the office (there's a lot of people in this office too). It also helps that my company usually provides booze.

Ahh, I didn't read names well enough I guess. My fault.

I don't think you overstepped. I was just pointing out that in this case, he actually mentioned hating bowling more so than the work event. I do think a lot of us are probably introverts.
