I've already done it once this week, that's more than enuf.😛 I also watched someone eat placenta today -an ancient Roman cheesecake. Then there was me bumping into a study from last year saying half of the 10% of gamers who identify as LGBTQ+ hide their identity while playing online games. Of those who are out in the online multiplayer gaming world, 88% have been harassed. And according a survey, that 45% of the 10% of all gamers who are queer, said they discovered their sexual/gender identity via video games (more so among the older generations than the younger ones). 2 hours ago, Armagon said: He is bro but like not in the way Reyn was, if that makes sense. But like Reyn, he is a meathead. "I'll use my thinking muscle for this one" -Lanz Oh, I get you. I've sampled the trope and paid attention to it enough times to realize that not all bros are the same. Reyn might've had a bulky physique and tank role, but that doesn't have to mean a brash hormonal hothead. Calm, seriousness, and rationality can fit into the trope without issue (though not bookworm/nerdy, I haven't seen that yet. Or maybe I have, it depends on the how wide is the definition of "bro".), although not having those qualities is what one would expect of a more exuberant version of the archetype. Reyn was more in the middle, certainly he could get into the heat of battle, but outside of it, some lingering vital energy in his voice and demeanor, but rather subdued. 59 minutes ago, Armagon said: This feels busted. *Notices the skill in question* Reminds me that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold had a Troubadour (dedicated buff class) skill called "Reverb". It copied all buffs from one ally onto another, and could even extend the duration by a few turns. It cost between 50-70 TP per use, which was appropriately exorbitant for how good it could be with proper setup. This sounds stupid strong by comparison. I'm being reminded of Combat Limbo, the XCX Dual Guns Art that applied Effect Stasis to the user, halting all buff durations until the Effect Stasis buff itself wore off. Combat Limbo had a heaping 120 second cooldown without upgrades IIRC, for what is basically a limited reapplication of existing buffs on the user. That sounded balanced, this does not. Speaking of XCX, Myopic Screen is a name carryover I see. I recall Doug shouting it, so... Raygun I think, definitely purple/debuff, and I believe it inflicted Blackout. 41 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Im sorry i just don't like it so far. Xd The rifts in the Xenoharmony are opening.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Man, so, I did most of the Thieves' Guild remaining stuff. Did enough radiant quests to unlock the reputation quests. Did three of them, but left the last one because I need to do something first before it. Said something was actually the Main/Daedric quest, so I went through Alftand into Blackreach and... oh my, that place. Why couldn't it have a world-map with fast travel markers @_@. Hunting down all the Crimson Ninroot was... ugh. Also fought the dragon that's down there. How it got there in the first place... I suppose they can fit in the lifts, barely. Anyway, for convenience's sake I used all three lifts, got the Elder Scroll, and went out. But before actually heading to the Throat of the World, I went over to do the Daedric Quest. Which meant finding Mer corpses to extract their blood. Alftand itself has four of the five, but... going through it again is a pain, so I went to Liar's Retreat, which also has four of the five. The last one, Altmer... well, that's where the Thieves' Guild reputation quest I held off comes in handy, since the Summerset Shadows are an all-Altmer gang. So, I turned that in, as well as finishing the last Daedric quest. Though as I mentioned long before, I already got the achievement thanks to that unintentional exploit. At this point, I'm gonna go ahead and continue with the Thieves' Guild questline. Once that's done, I might do the next Main Quest, and after that I'll do the Dark Brotherhood questline. Or after doing Season Unending. I'm actually tempted to do that one. I never did when I played the Legendary Edition, so I might actually do it. So long I do it properly, I won't miss out on the War Hero achievement. But well, that's for next time.

If you want to make the comparison how he acted towards Chechnya in his first years as premier could be compared. That's fair enough.

I hate how much sense this is actually starting to make.

The entire mechanic of putting in a ton of effort to get S-supports for children and then them completely disappearing into the deep realms until they’re old enough to fight in your army, without any sort of acknowledgment that one of your characters was pregnant, gave birth, or the time they spent with their child, represents how conservatives in the United States and the Supreme Court will fight tooth and nail against abortion to “protect children” but do not give a shit about doing anything to actually help them after they’re born (like protecting the planet they live on, making it harder for people to bring guns into the schools they attend, etc.) and refuse to acknowledge the consequences that forcing someone through a pregnancy can have on them or even remotely attempt to support said mothers or their children. Once the children are grown enough to fight, they suddenly pop up in the story, because the U.S. now actually “cares about them” as they can go fight and die so the government can gain money and resources. This is likely why paralogues are some of the best maps for gaining money and useful items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally just playing Civ 5 (I got it during the Steam summer sale) with the Dutch minutes ago!🤣 A hot-wet Continents Plus on Immortal, I finished researching the tech for Polders ...the very same turn Mongolia suddenly backstabbed me and was ready to steal my helpless second city.😑 I keep returning to Civ 5, but it keeps frustrating me and I rarely finish any runs. Either the map is too cramped to start, or I get a warred on by someone with a bazillion units eventually. There was... That sounds reminiscent of my own Civ5 experiences on Immortal, to be honest. I either get get swarmed by an aggressive neighbor (I still have PTSD from one game that started great, partitioning the Mongols between myself and Rome, just to have Rome backstab me and invade with approximately 40 Trebuchets) or I play overly careful and there's some Korea or Babylon runaway civ on the other side of the world. I've come to accept that I'm probably just an Emperor scrub (ironic, given my totally serious feud with Wraith, I know). 😐 The secret to Polder Paradise is to play on the Sandstorm map script, by the way. You won't get Desert Faith unless you're insanely lucky (I think it went the turn after I finished my shrine, and I got Pottery four turns early thanks to a tech goodie hut), but there's a good chance that you'll spawn on a river through a desert. Quote The amazingly good (Fountain of Youth, Mt. Sinai, and Lake Victoria were all in the "new world") Polynesia Terra map run where China seized my capital. I really shouldn't have deleted the initial map save. Another Poly-Terra attempt (no barbarians to make it easier) where Ethiopia sent a Great Prophet against the only city of my founded religion. The Rainforest Brazil run where the Dutch invaded me in the lategame. (This is my fault, jungle really does kill your Production, I should've sacrificed a few of my many Brazilwood Camps and cleared a few jungle hills.) I have an Arboreal Celts run where I've been able to settle next to El Dorado (I found it first for the 500 Gold), the Rock of Gibraltar, Uluru, and I'm pretty sure there is one more Natural Wonder over the sea where I can settle -except Suleiman is angry and I need to go back like 40-60 turns and build a galleass navy and a few more ground troops against his bloated ship-stealing fleet if I want to survive. It's so good that I refuse to delete this run. And lastly, there is the Emperor Fractal Egypt playthrough where I got a nice start on an isolated continent and built three cities, with a little save scumming, I was able to build every Tourism-oriented Wonder except the Parthenon (I took the Oracle instead) and Uffizi (never had a chance), but at turn 400 I stood basically no chance of winning a Cultural Victory against Hiawatha and Alexander (who won the World's Fair by a landslide), and Shaka sent an unending navy at me if very sinkable with a few nuclear submarines. All my attempts at Domination fail in some way before I've even taken a single city. Where does one find the time to build enough up to date units and yet not end up with negative Gold? I tried the Huns, and yet Portugal my "easy" neighbor was able to reach over 20 City Strength and my two Battering Rams couldn't handle it. (2) Yeah, religion game can be really annoying. The only way to defend against the inevitable Great Prophet sent against you without declaring war (including the "everybody hates you" part) is to indefinitely block him with your own units or banked up great people. (3) Jungle being a dead tile for the city itself (only enough food to feed the pop itself that is working it and no production) makes any Jungle bias a really rough start. Good job getting to the lategame. (5) Tourism is rough even on Emperor, yes. You kinda need all the bonuses you can get - world religion and/or ideology from the congress (the latter can be doable if you're first to get one), trade routes and open borders with everybody, and probably some Great Musicians to get one-time tourism boosts with any big culture civ. With all the culture bonuses that the AI gets on higher difficulties, its "defensive tourism" really is a mountain to climb. (6) The earliest reasonable point to attack a neighbor is at Crossbows, imo. Comp bows can work on Emperor if you have a weak neighbor, but I doubt that it can work on Immortal. For that reason, I'd actually point towards England (3-range crossbows) or China (Logistics on their crossbows, which also basically doubles their XP gain) for "early" conquest. Plus, with how Civ5's tech works (extremely centralised on your capital, plus the increased tech/culture cost for additional cities), you actually shoot yourself in the foot if you expand too aggressively too early, so the big KILL ALL THE AI push shouldn't come too early, anyway. Basically, killing one neighbor with Crossbows is very helpful, but you might actually wait until the modern era to continue. The happiness boosts in the ideologies (I like to go Commie for domination games) really helps, too. Anyway, that's enough smartassery from the scrub who plays on Emperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
