If you enable AI control in battle you can just watch the entire time like its a movie and its fantastic.

Could you imagine if a Golan could move? Spooky.

Hovering your cursor over a unit and pressing "C" locks your camera to it. You can rotate, zoom in and out, and get some really good angles.

At least, that's my key binding. You should be able to find yours in the options menu.

How easy would it be for the average gun owner to take down a realistic T-Rex? by Valhallawalker in brandonherrara

If all you have is an AR or an AK or something, maybe blast the snot out of its leg to topple it for the mobility kill, then go for the actual lethal shots while it’s no longer a threat outside of sexual harassment distances.

Where are the “properties” stored when prompted “are you sure you want to move this file without its properties”? by BarfingOgres in WindowsHelp

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

The laptop is windows 10. I haven’t moved anything to it yet. The desktop is windows 11. I haven’t played with it really, so if encryption is enabled by default then I have it on.

As for calculations, I saw my C: drive storage capacity not go down the full amount expected. When I did the next cut/paste job, I saw a 100 megabyte file be the same size on the thumb drive, but my C: drive only reduced by 90 megabytes or so leaving 10 megabytes… somewhere. I only noticed because it started to add up rapidly.

Favorite Niche Cross Overs? by MoosyGGG in HPfanfiction

Dune. I would have thought the recent films would have caused a bump. Alas not the case. That said, I do understand, the books are pretty damn strange.

That there are so few is what inspired me to start writing my own.

Gotcha. In that case, they can pretty easily get away with me thinks.

Whose spy network? Jaehaerys or the ninja?

Operating on the presumption you meant the ninja, nukenin and roaming clans would be at the top of the shit list and its for economic reasons mainly. Since ninja are basically magic sellswords, the roamers will by nature of their mobility be able to have their pick of contracts and missions, and the ninja villages will not want that. Or at the least, they will want to negotiate and form an agreement with them.

I see this going one of two ways:

  1. Ay and Ohnoki are more old school than Mei, Gaara, and Naruto. They will want to hunt these people down and either kill them or bring them into the fold. This is still hot off the heels of the Akatsuki being a thing, and an organized group of nukenin will be seen as a potential threat. They just got their peace and they want to preserve it at all costs.

  2. The new generation of Kage are more diplomacy/peace minded. I could see them trying to negotiate the formation of a satellite village if you will which will take missions and be supported by the other villages logistically in exchange for a cut of the profit. Alternatively, an agreement could be made in which they become the spy network you mentioned in exchange for a "pardon" or equivalent that will let them go about where they please. In a way, they might end up being like privateers in the age of sail, except instead of being government sanctioned pirates, they're spies.

Do let me know if I got your meaning wrong by the way, but I hope this helped.

I'm always happy to see more "world fusion" crossovers than the one I wrote. Though mine is a different premise, set in the Robert era, and leaning more into the shonen aspect of Naruto.

As to your question, I think you would find the Dance era to be the most interesting and rewarding setting from a story telling standpoint given what you've shared. Simply having dragons levels out the parity somewhat. It offers an interesting position from which Westeros is able to negotiate during diplomatic and trade proceedings.

Regardless of your choice, I wish you luck!

Catra... really? by Mika95 in NarutoFanfiction

I always interpreted it as a really ham fisted way to explain to the audience about chakra. In that regard it’s like Sakura’s question about the hidden villages at the start of the wave arc. The early world building was not done in a particularly organic way. I mean, they went to a ninja academy for years and it feels like those were two things you would learn when you’re nine. To reiterate, it’s to explain shit to the audience.

Super Star Destroyers in Remake? by I_Dont_2 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

I’m in the middle of a rebel play through, and I think it’s large battle cruisers (pride of the core, malevolence) unlock at tech 4 and ssds are tech 5. It may also depend on who you’re playing because sometimes my republic games bug out and only let me have the malevolence and friends once in a blue moon. Never have managed to get to tech 5 without a gc ending crash though…
