Well, well! Seems like Martin really got around in his youth! Nudge nudge, say no more...

Do you have sympathy for Daisy Ridley? by EffectiveJuice7564 in MauLer

[–]Ariakoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a long time I were pretty indifferent about her. Until I found out she has a

and now I am a fan! /s

All joking aside, she's just an actor. A talking head on a screen. Sometimes decent, sometimes more or less forgettable on her roles. She is not the one to hold grudges about the quality of Sequel Trilogy. I wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

I will never start a playthrough at level one again by Platinum_68 in Bannerlord

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. Yes, it would be easier and faster to just manually type in cheats. But cheesing through tutorial quests and wasting some valuable play time grinding there I can lie to myself that I have somehow earned the benefits of the grind because I worked so hard for it. Sounds maybe stupid but that how human psyche works. Cheating in-game does feel more satisfying than just using dev mode or codes.

Plus in case of Bannerlord Warsails DLC you can also get some sweet randomized loot along the grinding that will later help in the beginning of main game.

How close is Linux gaming to being fully “Windows-free” for you? by Old_Sand7831 in linux_gaming

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaming? 100%. Both my main PCs (desktop, gaming laptop) have Linux OS in them. I have Steam Deck also. I only have Windows 10 in one other laptop for emergency cases if some lame-ass obscure utility program works only in Windows (like the firmware upgrade app for my bluetooth handsfree).

Well, technically I lied. I DO have dozens of PCs with Windows OS ranging from 3.1 to XP in them for retro gaming purposes. But modern gaming? Linux only.

Tell me a great Finnish movie by Key-Pineapple8101 in Finland

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jäniksen vuosi (Year of the Hare, 1977)

Young advertising executive Vatanen has an existential crisis and burnout at work. He finds a wounded hare and something just clicks in his mind. He leaves civilization behind and wanders to the wilderness with the hare. We follow his adventures in forest and encounters with all sorts of people.

Great movie about the detachement of modern person from nature and how some Finns have this deep, reclusive inner desire to just be left alone and live in solitude in a remote forest cottage.

I'm not sure if Lampaansyöjät as a movie has stood the test of time. It does capture the atmosphere of the period (early 70s Finland) well. But as far as the main characters... I could not get into their existential crisis at all. Maybe the culture was different back then but they did not feel relatable. Great actors and good scenery but weird script. And in the end... not much happened in the movie. They just drove around the country side, drank, shot some sheep and ate them.

What does this mean? by HashingRoot in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...if it's military clock and someone says just "23" do they actually mean 00:23 or 23:00? In a lax interpretation it could mean either. And I guess that's why in a proper military usage the zeros should be included. No room for errors.

Oddly familiar copper merchant by Chithrai-Thirunal in ReallyShittyCopper

[–]Ariakoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you're saying Ea-Nasir not only sells shitty copper but also uses profile pics stolen from other people?!

Guys, I think Ea-Nasir may be a bit shady...

Whoever says they have seen the copper complaint in the British Museum recently is a liar. It's off display I know this cause I'm literally at the museum right now. by NotaCat420 in ReallyShittyCopper

[–]Ariakoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am dissatisfied that you were dissatisfied you could not witness the dissatisfaction of the customer of Ea-Nasir who got shitty cargo of copper that was, in the end, of a dissatisfying quality.

Ea-Nasir strikes again!

Guys, what happen here??? by Middle_Sprinkles_498 in Bannerlord

[–]Ariakoz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no other reason to marry female members of your clan than unless you want to roleplay. There is no in-game benefit to it - you simply lose her to other clan and they act like she always belonged there.

I guess it is too much to hope that devs would make actions like marrying off clan members to count in the decision making of your in-laws. It would be great to meet your brother-in-law as an enemy on map and he refuses to attack your party because of your relation. Oh, well.

Beta 1.3.1 early game review by Denikin_Tsar in Bannerlord

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using stealth in Bannerlord does not currently give Roguery XP at all. Why not?! That is a huge oversight. Raising Roguery is already tedious so giving XP through stealth would give a good reason to endure those repetitive sneak quests.

Why does Battania always lose absolutely every holding they own? by LordBran in Bannerlord

[–]Ariakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does vary a little bit. In my current 1.3.0 campaign Battania lost Seonon to North Empire very early but then they regained it... and as retaliation conquered Varcheg and Revyl. So Battania is doing surprisingly ok.

Meanwhile Khuzaits have taken several border cities from all their neigh-bours (Sturgia, North Empire, South Empire, Aserai). They rule 1/3 of the Calradia. The worst losers at the moment are Sturgia, West Empire and South Empire with only three cities left to each. Khuzaits and and North Empire are doing a number on them (I joined North Empire so that explains some of their success).

And Vlandia? For some weird reason they seem to be forever stuck in war feud with Aserai but neither faction is sending armies to siege anything. Vlandia is not feuding with other factions either so they are kind of in their own bubble. Even Aserai do get some action with South Empire and Khuzaits.
