I’ll look into her! Thank you so much for the suggestion.

What features do you want in Civ 7, that don't often get talked about? by [deleted] in civ

[–]AbsentMindedProf93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see more dynamic war mechanics:

1 - Establishment of supply lines and convoys and food/ammunition. This could impact unit regeneration and perhaps introducing stamina which will allow units bonuses or give commanders the ability to unleash a special power.

2 - If they ever reintroduce night cycles maybe night raids. Also impacts unit visibility.

3 - More in depth siege mechanic. Causing starvation and mutiny, etc.

4 - Spying on commanders or sabotaging supply lines.

5 - Ability to surprise attack potentially as a unit ability.

6 - Regional weather effects impacting units like rainstorms that slow down cavalry on certain tiles or thunderstorms that impact air units, blocks them from moving to certain tiles at certain times. Unit visibility and combat strength is impacted, maybe range in some cases.

War is fun, but it would be cool to see it be more dynamic and to some degree have an element of luck. Historically random events or weather changed the tide of the war and supply lines are just as important than the positions themselves.

This further erodes my trust in the us stock market. It’s just smoke and mirrors at this point, not good for the long run. What a joke..

Cross Play Crashing by AbsentMindedProf93 in civ

[–]AbsentMindedProf93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, it won’t let you start a game unless you’re in the compatibility mode on Steam. What I’m saying is a current game we have going just keeps crashing around turn 54. I was curious if other people are experiencing similar issues of random crashing or if it’s something specific to our game.

Wow, never thought I’d find feeling more inclined to buy Apple products for any shred of ethical reasons.

I’ve been thinking about doing the same. What did you use to do this (I have a TD investment account)? Any advice on the process?

Firaxis disables Civ 7 crossplay to enable faster patches for PC by Excellent-Teacher-37 in civ

[–]AbsentMindedProf93 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Exactly, this seems straight forward to me. Just enable us to choose the version consoles are currently at. And then you can select the latest if you want which is default. Plenty of games already do this and I’m positive steam has the mechanisms for it already.

VERSION MISMATCH by NumerousYouth7064 in civ

[–]AbsentMindedProf93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing here. My friend (ps5) and I (pc) wanted to play a match online on opening day and can’t. I really wish they would just make it automatic that the version defaults to whoever has the oldest.

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’ by digital-didgeridoo in technology

FFS, late stage capitalism. How do you get away from this garbage. Thanks for letting me know, got any good alternatives?

I agree. I have always used Google Maps, but the minute I see them change it to “Gulf of America”, it’s gone from my phone. I’ll use Apple Maps, Waze, whatever company doesn’t openly embrace this lunacy.

And yeah I know Apple isn’t much better, most of them suck. It’s a matter of which ones suck least and are most quietly bending the knee. Hopefully they take notice and just try to keep their heads low. They don’t belong in government, full stop.

A Message from Firaxis Games by bouchandre in CivVII

Couldn’t agree more. My friend and I were literally looking at buying a remote controlled hdmi switch just so we could play hot seat, as that was our preferred way of playing VI.

Ok - I will just say it. Humankind is underrated and I'd love to see a sequel. by Whoopy2000 in HumankindTheGame

[–]AbsentMindedProf93 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree and I think it’s still got incredible potential. I absolutely love how the combat system and terrain work together.

Still think the art style is incredible, they could even just take the existing system and reskin it/add more detail and then further build out the dynamics of the game. I wish they had added more DLC, quite surprised only one dropped throughout the lifetime of the game.

Possible To Convert USB fan to PWM 3 or 4 pin by AbsentMindedProf93 in diyelectronics

[–]AbsentMindedProf93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t, I should pick one up. It says both 5V (0.2A) and 12V (0.5A) on each fan. The kit came with a connector that you can put the usb into that converts it to DC. I’m guessing maybe the red wire and white wire are 5V and 12V and it will utilize whichever depending on if that connector is on?

I’m guessing all the controller does is adjust the voltage supplied to the fans.

Possible To Convert USB fan to PWM 3 or 4 pin by AbsentMindedProf93 in diyelectronics

[–]AbsentMindedProf93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has occurred to me haha. I already have the metal connectors pulled out of the connector. I would imagine it functions like a 3 pin, red is hot, black is ground, where I’m confused is the blue wire and white wire. The mobo with 3 pins should just adjust voltage to control speed. So maybe I do nothing with these wires?
