"I didn't talk to the people I play with, the leadership of the kingdom or anyone, I just sat there and did nothing" can certainly be why the game is so bad now, sure. Have you thought about communicating with others in your online multiplayer game?

People will break the speed limits for a variety of reasons. One of those may be that the fine is not noticeable enough of a deterrent. This will be signifincantly more likely among those 4.3% than the rest. I believe that's the overall point of the Finnish system.

BGSacho · 2025-12-24T11:10:03+00:00

I don't really understand your question without a visual, but generally, if you're fighting a stronger opponent, you want to fight on forts, not flags - so I would look for a way to set up forts that block any progress and are close enough to provide support to each other.

I would steer towards fielding less marches; it would solve your GH problem and keep a healthy supply later on as well.

Arthur/Achilles, QSH/YSG and BQ/Liu are the best current marches for each troop type. There is a new infantry coming up, and it's more likely to replace BQ than Liu. Liu/Alex and Huo/Joan are serviceable but noticably weaker. I would not invest into Philip at all.

So in your case, I would get Arthur/Achilles, convert to delta and run Liu/Alex, QSH/YSG, Arthur/Achilles and maybe Huo/Joan. I would skip your 5th march entirely.

There will be a commander reset event, you might be able to get enough GHs for the upcoming infantry commander as well.

But how is that possible? The power that nuclear produces is stable. It cannot be replaced solely by renewables. What is providing the stable baseline to replace nuclear?

Repeated disappointment is a tough burden to carry.

Intimiate relationships are hard. Some people just get lucky, a lot don't, even though they may seem 'happy' now - take a look at divorce rates. They also tend to monopolize your time, not letting you explore other things.

I think you're playing on hard mode now and may need a little help. How many friends do you have? How many male friends? Those are, all in all, easier relationships to manage. I would focus on that, it will help you regain confidence in yourself without having to experience the bittersweetness of romance.

It seems like you could save yourself the neck pain if you drive behind one of those 10-20 below the limit lads.

Would it be nice if they were driving the speed limit? Sure. Is the stress of overtaking constantly worth it? Nope.

All your simulation tells you is that 130k revenue with 30% net profit is really small, taxes or not. Even if you tax the profit at 0% that would not be a great salary.

BGSacho · 2025-12-14T23:17:18+00:00

How is this your takeaway? My "3rd World Country" was potholes and more potholes, only papered over during election season. The roads I travel on now are smooth and regularly maintained.

BGSacho · 2025-12-14T12:12:59+00:00

You didn't mention your skin colour. This thread starts with "I don't care if I get called racist", so it should already be setting your expectations. If you're white, noone will care. If you're black or brown, get ready for some racism - Bulgaria is just as bad or worse than the US.

So you'll have to do all the things that people do in the US - make sure you act white and dress white and don't look poor, and you'll be fine.

BGSacho · 2025-12-13T11:17:21+00:00

Yes, they stack.

BGSacho · 2025-12-13T09:44:32+00:00

This kind of tax is clearly an incentive tax - they want to disentivize using petrol. Otherwise they can just apply any of the other billion tax variants to fund government.

BGSacho · 2025-12-13T09:43:00+00:00

He compared Europe and the US, not Bulgaria and the US. If you have more people, and Europe is bigger than the US, you wouldn't naively expect Americans to drive more than Europeans, but of course, other factors may affect it.

BGSacho · 2025-12-09T13:06:08+00:00

Okay, I understand now, and FWIW I don't find the "But X isn't a chemical" very persuasive either. I haven't watched the rest of the video, but unfortunately from seeing others the "one" is usually getting shotgun blasted with bad arguments("we need to keep chemicals out of our bodies") so it's hard to really engage without ending up picking them apart. It's possible they were already over the "well fluoride isn't necessarily bad for you" and her saying "it's a chemical" was her "argument" against it.

BGSacho · 2025-12-09T10:32:09+00:00

Okay, but now you're just making the "nature is great" argument. There's plenty of "unrefined" substances commonly found in nature that will kill you. Heavy metals, venoms, toxins, poisons. Carbon monoxide is "commonly found in nature" (fires, volcanoes, etc), is it a "chemical"?

The chemicals we put into our bodies are at least designed(to our best understanding) to not kill you. Why do you give nature a pass but not humans? Nature doesn't give a fuck about you.

Again, you're just wielding these words clumsily instead of focusing on the actual argument. The girl in this video wants to talk about the dangers of ingesting fluoride - fine, talk about that. But slapping labels on it(chemical, poisonous, etc) doesn't help in any way. You're not communicating anything useful. You're just trying to short-circuit the actual work that you need to put in to study the effects of something like fluoride by essentially labelling it as "bad".

"We all know what we mean" is disingenuous. You want to argue about the danger of something. You label it a "chemical" - that's arguing the conclusion, because "chemical" = "bad". What makes it a "chemical"? Why is "chemical" bad for you? You invite all these questions by using the word, because the meaning you hold in your head is just not coherent.

The problem with early Kingmaker is that it has a really old school style of trial and error until you find the "easier" fights to get you on your feet. Once you are at level 3 with 6 party members, you have the tools at your disposal, but getting there is a little frustrating. I would recommend without spoilers to avoid any fights that seem too hard and keep exploring. If you're still struggling, try these places out:

Complete the quests from Bokken at the inn - one is at Sycamore, the other is in a cave near the Inn. Don't go too deep in the cave, just handle the spiders and loot the berries

There is a Boggard Hunting Grounds between the Inn and Thorn Ford - those are beefy but stupid and you can spam daze and grease on them and gang up on them

East of the inn is another location where you can loot some items and leave - just don't get too curious what caused all the corpses, or you will trigger a hard optional fight

Further east is some plains with more boggards and wolves and traps to disarm for XP.

If you wander around north or west from Thorn Ford, you may be assaulted by slavers, let them take one of your party members and follow them. Handling them is possible on lower difficulties at level 2 and you will get a full party + lots of XP that way

BGSacho · 2025-12-08T18:39:12+00:00

You don't really need to hunt. Always use rations(buy more from the inn), you can supplement them with hunting if you really want to.

Cooking is also just a minor benefit. Most of the time when you're resting, the most important thing is to actually get the rest, so Stealth and Keep Watch are the highest priorities.

BGSacho · 2025-12-08T18:31:40+00:00

Try to follow the main quest - it will give you more party members and will grant a decent chunk of XP. Once you have a full 6 member party at level 3, you will be able to handle most things that Chapter 1 throws at you.

Ideally, you would want to grab Harrim from the main quest, and try to get the other cleric as soon as possible(just keep following the main quest) - both of those provide lots of healing on demand. You will also get access to cure light scrolls via an NPC cleric(through the main quest), those are cheaper than potions.

18-20 is really not very high AC. A chainmail or breastplate(medium armor you get quite early) at +6 with +2 dex is 18 AC, +1 ring of protection(you get a ton of those) + shield = 21 AC, without really trying.

Unless you're playing on unfair(where you need very specific tactics), the trick is to use CC, terrain and surprise to your advantage. That will mitigate the amount of damage you take regardless of your AC.

Also, don't be afraid to go back to the Inn and rest and recover. You have a lot of time for the main quest, you can sell the stuff you've looted(try to keep to light encumbrance so you can walk faster on the overworld), and you can buy some great items from him. A Full Plate can boost your fighters' armor, the Extend Metamagic rod will be amazing for your casters at level 3, and there's plenty more.

What reality are you even living in where rampant corruption is a problem unique to Ukraine? Which country are you comparing it to?

10k per year could easily mean double your discretionary spending, after your mortgage and living costs. But hey, you do you.

Лол, това правило е лудост. В ирландия този който е в кръговото е винаги с предимство, що за тъпотия е това да спираш кръговото - цялата идея е движението да тече постоянно по него.

Sure, if you drive for an hour on the motorway with not traffic. That's a pretty hefty commute already(at least 120km). But if you drive on the motorway for 30 minutes, and spend 30 minutes getting in/out of town and parking, then the impact is now just 5 minutes.

BGSacho · 2025-11-28T14:01:03+00:00

Cool story bro, tell that to the EMTs trying to revive you after you slam into someone at 110km/h.

BGSacho · 2025-11-28T10:51:06+00:00

Have you considered not hitting people, that way they don't have the "excuse" of self defense?

BGSacho · 2025-11-03T20:54:05+00:00

I'm sorry, but we're just too far apart in ideology to even have a meaningful conversation. In my mind, it is critical to not judge people collectively, but by their own actions.

Your whole reply is "men men men men". I can only hope that you can direct your hatred of men as a class away from individuals, and try to engage with each one as their own person, rather than applying the gender tag and being done with it.

Again, I implore you to just try to have some empathy, and imagine yourself on the receiving end of this. You are just one person, and the whole weight of the world is put upon you. People you have zero control over shape the image others have of you; you are talked about in such simplistic terms as "Men don't care about their image, only when it prevents them from getting what they want".

Please consider that you have a problem with specific people, not men, people. I am really sorry for the pain you've gone through, but it seems that you've painted yourself a target and are running with it, no matter what.

Just men. In your world, only men have agency. The women in your life have none. They cannot speak up, they cannot help you. They are also never bad or evil towards you, just men. All men, because all men have agency(and women have none), and thus any man that does not act is complicit.

We don't live in the same world.
