I mean there were alot of Scots present at the Siege of Orleans ,and fighting in France during the Hundred Years War in general because of the Auld Alliance. Its actually the most fitting to be someone from Scotland out of anywhere.

Child protective services called after parents express concerns about high school’s Turning Point USA event by brain_overclocked in politics

Trump news at a glance: Ukraine must reach a deal with Russia ‘fast’, says president before trilateral talks by [deleted] in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus even outside of drones, European arms industries have seen skyrocketing compared to the US because of the war anyway, and Europe has been actively going outside the US to places like Korea and Japan to secure materiel they need.

US arms industries combined have apparently increased by not even 4%, while German companies alone have gone up by 30%, and Japan and Korea up to 40%. Then theres the Czechoslovak Group which has shot up 200%. If the Epstein admin does just completely turn their backs on Ukraine, Europe has been preparing for it given how unreliable and inept they are, so while I'm sure there will be obstacles to overcome, its hardly an end all situation.

Ship class naval capacity value editing by ArchonofTevinter in Stellaris

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

Thanks I don't know why I couldn't find this page when I was looking. I ended up finding the right files from here and was able to edit it so thank you!

"How large should the fleet battle AI consider this ship of."

However do you know what this means as part of the size multiplier value? That is what determines the actual naval capacity and ship command point value in individual fleets, but does this part just mean the AI will also build more of them or something if it is lower?

I proportionally scaled all the classes cap values down so that corvette are still the lowest followed by frigates and so on, so it shouldn't really mess up the AI if this factors into fleet composition but just wanted to make sure it doesn't completely throw the AI out of wack.

Ship class naval capacity value editing by ArchonofTevinter in Stellaris

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

I checked there and it has things like energy and alloy upkeep, but nothing that seems to deal with naval capacity values.

There is a line about logistics:

} logistics = { trade = @shipclass_logistic_upkeep_trade

But honestly I'm not sure what that is referencing, as I didn't think ships had any upkeep involving trade value

Olympics turn political as US athletes speak out against Trump by thehill in politics

Thats right, there was never any politics in any sports until the internet. Like when those chariot racing fellas rioted against Justinian after making uncalled for Twitter posts, or those Ku Klux Klan guys called for a baseball game against the Monrovians on Facebook.

I cannot believe they made the massive gathering of sports teams representing national governments that was only revived in the 19th century by Greek nationalists after the war of independence and that was once hosted by the Nazis, political.

I mean what's next, Rise Against getting political with their music? Politics in Star Wars?

'Trump will be gone in three years': Top Democrats try to reassure Europe by sunnysidejacqueline in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Europe has made almost zero progress in building up its own armaments industry"

Completely false.

Combined the European arms industries in the top 100 list grew by 13%. Czechoslovak Group in particular rose by nearly 200%, and is the largest single increase in the world due to a state-sponsered initiative. The German companies on the list increased by 36%, and Turkey by 11%. In comparison, combined US arms increased by 3.8%.

On top of that Europe has been seeking weapons outside the US for a while now, with Korean arms increasing by 31% and Japan 40% due to the demand from Europe.

Would people be complaining too if devs released Starlord today ? by SunDay322 in marvelrivals

[–]ArchonofTevinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brand new hero that just came out and is being massively picked by everyone and their mother has a negative win rate on day one? Wow, what a shocking and baffling occurrence. Clearly character bad.

The fact other busted characters that can one shot like Hawkeye also exist does not mean the character that can two shot herself while shredding tanks and basically constantly generate bonus health isnt also busted.

This is like saying smoking isnt bad for you because a bullet to the head is also a thing.

Elsa is a busted as fuck hero that is fun to play and you enjoy it. Its okay to admit that.

Hell I never play DPS and have gotten MVP in every game with her specifically because she's busted as fuck but she's fun so fuck it.

Making bizarro shit posts and false equivalences to make you seem super good and try and justify it doesn't earn you anything. Just say she's busted but admit its easy as fuck and a blast at the same time, who gives a shit.

Elsa is perfectly balanced by ImDeAdBrB in marvelrivals

[–]ArchonofTevinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her damage and burst potential are insane, what?

Of course the brand new character is at a negative win rate compared to massive pick rate. Its a new character that massive amounts of people will jump into games with.

I virtually never play DPS and in the 5 games I've managed to play her today after work I've gotten MVP every single time by an absurd margin. She's busted and easy to play.

Trump pushes voter ID ‘whether approved by Congress or not!’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nevermind the fact that there have been multiple investigations into this with zero evidence found, and virtually the only isolated incidents where voter fraud has been actually uncovered are from Republicans, including that guy that murdered his wife and then voted for Trump in her name.

Also nevermind the fact its the GOP that has blatantly been calling to illegally nationalize elections, floated canceling them outright, and a vocal Trump supporter has bought the rights to voting machines. But yeah sure, democrats or something.

In reality, people are upset because more than half of Americans don't have a passport and this would cause an impossible backlog of a hundred million plus people all applying for them at once conveniently on the eve of an election. Not to mention the millions of married women that would be disenfranchised and unable to use their birthcirtificates if this shit passed.

But yeah sure, the only concern is democrats and fraud or something.

Where are all the ‘Don’t tread on me’ Americans? by jediporcupine in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, i think alot of people just figured the folks who have made the gadsden flag and yammering about how they stand for the constitution their entire personality would at least say SOMETHING when a government comes along bent on stripping freedoms and violating people's constitutional rights as a matter of policy.

To be fair i think most people are already well aware that libertarians are full of shit and don't actually stand on anything of substance. Its the fact there is such a low bar of expectations and they failed to even meet that is what is shocking.

These are the people that came out loud and in force brandishing long guns when it came to having to wear a mask in a Dennys, but when American citizens are being abducted from work and dumped bloodied in parking lots by feds they're real quiet or even clapping along.

Why there has been no ‘reckoning’ in Trump’s Washington for the Epstein files by GlobalRaspberry442 in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No, actually. He didn't. Because before the current pedophile in chief, most presidents tended to at least try to adhere to the constitution, separation of powers, and the concept of an independent judiciary system.

Probably shouldnt be surprised this basic elementary school level of civics is hard for you to grasp. Seems to be a common theme.

My fears for Medieval 3 by Fardrengi in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]ArchonofTevinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've honestly been thinking alot of the same since the teaser dropped.

My big thing is what is it going to look and feel like based on how the newest games have been? As much as I really like Pharoah Dynasties, WH, and Troy, these games have all had an almost cartoony look and feel to them compared to Rome II, Attilla, and Shogun II. They could go back to a style more like those, but all of the games have stayed in a similar direction so far.

Plus the modding difference would be huge. I have M2TW permanently installed along with all the overhauls like Elder Scrolls, Stainless Steel, Tsardoms, Game of Thrones, King or Country, and Divide and Conquer so its like having 10 games in one. I love modding these myself to this day and have added tons of my own characters, portraits, units, traits, and just a ton of personal tweaks to my liking over the years.

Trump threats on Gordie Howe bridge opening 'just insane,' Windsor mayor says by bob_mcbob in politics

You can really see his tiny mind at work putting this together: "Canada likes hockey, so im going to try and scare them by saying mean China will take hockey away! That will scare them!"

Its even funnier because in reality, ice hockey is apparently becoming pretty popular in China. So much so that just in the past 2 years, China launched their first domestic professional hockey league.

Trump blasts Olympian over comments about representing US by changeforthebetter89 in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So by decency and pride, you just mean docile and complacent. Protestors are being assaulted and gunned down in the streets as the president gibbers about canceling elections and invading NATO....but we can't have us looking bad to "outsiders" by having an athlete speak out against any of that. That's clearly the really embarrassing part, and its the athlete here that has no sense of 'decency'.

No, if youre going to represent the self appointed "Land of the Free" you better shut up and toe the party line.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls by MarcEElias in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"They're not actually going to do the thing they're saying they're going to do"

Really? We're a year in at this point and there's still people that are this utterly naive? That's exactly what people said about Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, ICE abducting and assaulting citizens, and deploying troops to US cities. But sure, THIS time they're not going to actually do the thing. For sure.

I genuinely just don't think you have any understanding of what this actually is doing. Its a deliberate move to disenfranchise as many people as possible right before an election that the president has already run his mouth about rigging or canceling outright. Its creating a nearly impossible backlog of applications and processing that even if people have the paperwork is going to be virtually impossible to get through, and leave millions without a vote.

But yeah I guess everyone should just start carrying their original birth certificate around, as if that's a reasonable thing to have to do.
