I dunno, not really vile. I wore the same pair of, I think, rockports for five years. They had no more grip and ultimately the crease ripped. After a year or so they also became my work shoes while in the kitchen because they were great at greese/hot water protection. Now I only get two years out of a pair wearing them every workday. It's not brooks brothers or anything.

oh dude i wasn't being serious, i would wear dress shoes more often except i dont really have any outfits for them that are like, going out on the town clothes

I"d like to say small populations, but the curriculum I got in HS didn't really give a gently caress about Europe unless, broadly, Italy was involved.

Been continuing to put a lot of hours into stellaris, which I've discovered I'm very bad at cuz I've got no feel for expansion. I still can't figure out how to get lots of influence (currently sitting at +4 after getting rid of some outposts), I'm not sure how much I should be colonizing planets because I have a ton available to me but then I have to deal with sector AI which doesn't seem to do anything of value.

To distract me from those problems, I discovered a militaristic xenophobic fallen empire last night that immediately declared war on me and wiped me out with a 30k fleet against my paltry 550 fleet (which is another thing i don't really get, I have tons of weapons upgrades but my ships apparently still suck).

So reloaded an earlier save and continued while avoiding that galactic arm, but I decided to check out the "dangerous technology" of sentient AI. Should be fun.

I've essentially stopped using them but there are a lot of systems without colonizable planets and I dunno how else I'm supposed to expand?

Is it okay to not be just a continuous block of empire, but have little inhabited systems all over the place. Can you make systems into sectors if they're not connected to each other?

if you're a democracy you get a free 100 influence every five years if you fulfill your mandate (usually building mining stations)

Rival people you want to attack in the future to generate more influence, research some colonization techs to give you more planet options and just start shooting colony ships into space -- just be sure to shore up your energy income.

Yes.

How many ships is normal for a decent fleet? I stopped at like 20 cuz the list had hit the top of the screen.

But I don't want to attack anybody :(

And ironically I think I've gotten most of the tech upgrades for the different planet types but the majority of the planets I've been able to colonize so far have been my default anyways.
