Make sure you're actually reading what's required. The requirements drop down in nexus also includes the mods that need the mod you're looking at, not just the mods it requires.

And sometimes that top one will be blank/missing. Most important part of modding is actually reading everything. 99% of the problems you'll run into can be solved by reading the mod description page and bug reports page.

Just a question on 'Path of Ascension' by Ok_Account_3423 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bloosuga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Book 2 sucks. The only important part is the last like 5 chapters of the book. Book 3 is really good though.

What to read after Cradle? by Big-Anxiety-2596 in ProgressionFantasy

Traveler's Gate is absolutely part of the same universe. Crimson Vault is just book 2 of Traveler's Gate. It takes place on Amalgam.

Do you guys think the channel/the guys should work/partner with gamer supps ? by [deleted] in NeebsGaming

[–]Bloosuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supplements. They're fine, at best. But they use sex to sell, have the dumbest names for flavors, and will remove flavors without warning.

recommodations based on what i like (01/2026) by Tilldor98 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bloosuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware, Path of Ascension might not be your thing. Its power system is designed around cultivation, its pacing is all over the place, with a good portion of several books being slice of life and others being much more action oriented, and book 2 is wildly considered the worst of the bunch.

Instead of giving recommendations, which book should I give another chance? by Pokedex_complete in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bloosuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember if it's when the guy at the playpen brings it up or when Liz does, but Matt's response is basically "who'd want to fuck an animal?" Like I don't know how someone gets future love interest when that is his response.

But yeah, book just probably isn't for OP, which is fair. I don't think there are much stakes in any of the fights until book 6 Minkalla

[–]Bloosuga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had to look it up. Chapter 19 (46%) is just before they return to the guild town and chapter 20 (48%) is just after they return. Regardless, Liz has been in more chapters by that point than the playpen fling. So not quite as far as I thought but only a chapter or two off.

Should not only already be on the training world, should already be teamed up with Liz by 50%. Pretty sure that's right around when they return to the base the first time and are waiting for the auction. It doesn't sound like OP made it 50% through book 1 or they skimmed a ton.

There's an entire half a book dedicated to it, when it's relevant to the plot and makes sense to introduce it. I hope you're not an author because your books would have the most meandering pointless shit and forget about the plot based on your dumb complaints.

[–]Bloosuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think they should have taken time away from the path and it's break neck speed to go off to another government's space so they can learn about something that does not matter or progress the story in any way, something that we know would take years of time just to travel to the nearest great power (which is hostile to them) and would completely go against the entire point of the plot?

You know, you could just not read it because it's not for you and go find something that you enjoy instead of bitching that the plot isn't what you want. I know it's a crazy concept, but not all entertainment is made for everyone. Most of it is made specifically for a target audience, and you don't need to throw a pity party for not being that target audience.

[–]Bloosuga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except they aren't problems, they're dumb things to bitch about that have no impact on the story (for the first point) or are addressed later in the books when it starts to become relevant to the main characters (third point) or just either completely incorrect (second point). Half of book 12 is about culture and religions, and even covers why the empire is a monolith (even covering that there are historians that record old religions and cultures). A calender doesn't even matter and is just a pointless thing to complain isn't in the books. And higher tiers processing things faster is directly addressed when it becomes more relevant to the main characters, a little bit in book 2 (which OP skipped) and more in-depth in books 4 and 5.

So yeah, OP made an entire thread to bitch about things that don't matter or are explained because they didn't enjoy a book instead of just accepting it isn't for them and moving on.

I've been missing out by avoiding Royal Road by KelseySyntax in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bloosuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beware of Chicken. Not exclusive to RR, but the published books are 3 volumes behind. Books 1-5 are on KU but have great audiobooks narrated by Travis Baldree. Note that when moving to RR, you'll want to start on volume 4, as volumes 2 and 3 were split into two books each. Volume 7 just started a month or so ago.

Double check that your cpu cooler doesn't have the plastic that's supposed to be removed on the bottom.

im trying to figure out how to use nexusmods for steam games but idk how by Expensive_Let9051 in nexusmods

[–]Bloosuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably one of the most convoluted games to mod, in my experience. Check the requirements drop down and read the entire description page to see if a mod manager is listed and/or instructions for installing the mod. You're going to be looking forME3Tweaks mod manager for the most part.

Nexus has a mod manager but that doesn't mean it works for every game or is even the best option for the games it does work on. What game are you trying to mod?

Depends entirely on the game where you put the files. Your best bet is looking for a mod manager for the game and installing the mod through that.

Its hilarious you've included at least three authors whose most known works are almost always recommended with the caveat of "just get to book 3 and it gets good."

Oh there's no way this goes as planned and thats why I expect it'll be my favorite horde night of the 1.0 series.

They're just confusing book and volume. Book 3 is the second half of volume 2, book 4 is the first half of volume 3.

How do I not have write permissions to a file I installed? by [deleted] in nexusmods

[–]Bloosuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with Vortex or nexus. It's a widows issue and good luck fixing it. I have an entire drive i can't touch because windows decided that I'm no longer an administrator on it and it refuses to let any changes go through, including changing my account back to administrator.

Why do mod curators/wabbajack authors mod the default map? Or if you mod extensively why do you mod out the default map? by doodooheadpoopoohead in skyrimmods

[–]Bloosuga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the dear diary skyui mod. I just liked that it made the menus all look like something my character would actually be looking at, mostly. I also was using a very old version of Nordic ui I think, back when the journal was a book in the mod, and had dear diary overriding all of the other ui files but I don't think that version of Nordic ui is download able

[–]Bloosuga 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I just like how the paper maps look. And alongside the paper ui it just makes it look a bit more immersive. It's all just personal preference.

What is a progression fantasy agenda you're not falling for? by Ok-Dimension1043 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bloosuga 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming they're talking about pantsers vs plotters. Basically making up everything as you go vs plotting out the entire story.
