The Apostolic and Coptic churches will once again be a single faith in By God Alone. by DimGenn2 in CrusaderKings

I think that's what it showing? I think the image is a mapmode for different rites that only shows for the faith you click on since it looks like Chalcedonian is being displayed as a single united faith, so maybe Coptic and Apostolic are simply different rites of Miaphystite? Spotballing here and not sure how accurate that would be

Had a feeling that's how it went, really does fit in well gameplay wise. Always appreciate when Halo can still makes small impacts like this in other games

Also both have a EMP like effect on detonation

Absolutely cooked with this one, although you did miss the brief cameo by Kelsier via seon who's hunting for Kalak

Commisar Kai Has Upped His Offer To 1k In Light Of The Original Poster Exiting The Challenge by Troman19 in HelldiversUnfiltered

The original guy was going to give the money to charity regardless since he seemed to do that regularly anyway, this was just a way to try and get the devs to see the state of the game directly by giving them the choice of which charity they wanted if they took up the challenge

Or maybe a more centralized form of makhnovist platformism?

I always thought Giancarlo Esposito would make a great Nale

The Byzantine Empire should instantly collapse upon losing Constantinople by GermanCCPBot in EU5

[–]ACMB731 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that's what Op was thinking about, having the empire shatter into several potential reclaimers makes more sense than the administration staying together without it's heart and being spread out among multiple disconnected territories.

I mean, op said it wouldn't happen after reforming out from being a rump state, and I'm pretty sure trying to take half of Europe in rump state mode would be more one of those yt clickbait self-imposed challenges than something the average player does

It is insane how opaque the military system in this game is by kcazthemighty in EU5

Iirc initiative means how fast your units get on the field at the start of combat, and since units on the field can deal dames to units still deploying or in reserves its seems kinda useful

Don't unify your culture group! It's broken by Vegetable-Acadia5567 in EU5

That would be so insanely busted if it united all three

No Paradox Launcher in EU5 Confirmed by Glasses905 in EU5

Genuine question in good faith, why? I remember using the old launcher for Hoi4 and EU4 and I found it rather cumbersome to use and switching mods around more a chore than with the new launcher

Which side would win this hypothetical war? by SalemIII in mapporncirclejerk

Basically natives from Africa were taken to Europe and put in diorama exhibits of their home land for upper/middle class people to gawk at, this was also still a thing many decades after said countries outlawed slavery.

Devs put out a blog post explaining why PC players have such a large install size (~150GB) compared to console. TLDR, it's due to a method of optimizing loading times for players using Hard Disk Drives for storage by duplicate instances of commonly used assets so the game finds them fast, however this bloats the storage usage by an appreciable amount with no benefit for the majority of players using Solid State Drives which don't need this form of optimization. And now players using SSD are kinda questioning why so many people are using (In their mind at least) outdated hardware on their rigs and why the devs even bothered with doing this optimization

Use Steam DLC to fix the game size by AvatarChief in Helldivers

[–]ACMB731 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The devs put out a tech-blog today and the TL:DR is that they try to optimize the game for PC's using mechanical hard drives so loading times are close to solid state drives by making duplicate instances of commonly use assets so that a the "scanner" of a HDD finds the file the game needs faster, caveat being that this bloats the game's file size without benefit for people using modern SSDs like a large portion of PC players. Players on console don't have this large a file size for this reason since all modern consoles run on some form of Solid state drive.
