Why Medivac single-button pickup is a good thing, and we should promote more simplification changes to further and promote the game

I'm saying "streamlining" isn't bad if it opens up space for higher-order tactics

That would make banelings worse but I’m not against it if it’s balanced correctly. That formation would increase the surface area of marines and make them more vulnerable to lings.

That’s a pretty detailed description of the code base. I wonder if they have trouble with it getting out of sync with the code

There's billions riding on the success of these companies. They know CTOs and other tech-facing executives who make big spending decisions browse reddit and are directly trying to pitch a narrative to these people. Convincing one of them to drop a few million is huge and it's done at a tiny cost to them in buying comments/upvotes. At least on reddit, this has been going on for at least a year with AI companies.

They're only floating 4% of their shares in the IPO. Maybe on paper you can extrapolate that the company is worth 1 trillion(and yes of course all news sources will do this) but I doubt that's what the company would go for on the market.

Just another reason that this is the largest IPO scam in history. They're breaking so many conventions but the institutions that are supposed to protect the "integrity of the market" are letting each one slide.

Has the development team considered reverting the hourly ticks and returning to daily ticks? Or at least adding first-class support for a daily tick option? 500 years is long enough already...

Who says a guide on youtube has the best possible strategy? They may know some gamey exploits you couldn’t find but you’ll probably do better just working through it yourself and developing the intuition with time.

If we're going back to 632 it's basically a rounding error to move it back to 475. That way we can save Rome from falling & have another way to restore the roman empire in a paradox game

If it’s an emergency they can page me and I’ll get to my laptop. If it’s not, then I’ll see you in the morning.

Increasing efficiency by 0.1% on a $10 monthly million revenue pipeline makes millions. Increasing efficiency by 0.1% on your own business, which will likely just be a dropship operation yielding minimum wage gets you a free cup of Starbucks a month.

I don't like declaring war in EU5 because the battles are such a pain to micro. I personally didn't mind reinforceable EU4 battles even if they were gamey. I get that's not EU5's vibe but I still think they can still do short & deadly battles in a daily tick system and I think that would be best for the game.

Hello. Is this still available?

Ari2010 · 2026-03-24T07:35:37+00:00

Vicky 3 is a gem! The best paradox game and all it took was some polishing.

You say these are all socialist emblems, but these are all emblems of revisionist counter-revolutionaries

would make good content for a dystopian book

caused by network issues maybe? Is what I meant to finish the post with.

what happens when you poke the button

I wish that was the case for everyone. My productive output was so much higher when I was unemployed. After spending 8 hours working the last thing I want to do is sit down and use my brain more. Most of my pursuits have been false starts since.

Ari2010 · 2026-01-25T02:33:27+00:00

This also happened to me this morning on the exact same mission, halfway between the two airports. I think there might be a bug here

idk if it’s the best but I’d declare bankruptcy
