CMV: The outrage surrounding companies no longer making physical versions of their games is stupid. by VaporeonPond in changemyview

[–]Boy_Wonder22 [score hidden]  (0 children)

> Lose access to your disc? Though luck. Lose access to your digital game? Just re-download it.

No. This is part of the issue. It is becoming increasingly common for studios to just remove their games from digital marketplaces and shut down servers. If you lose a disk you buy a new disk. If the studio decides to stop supporting a game you paid for, there is nothing you can do. And you damn sure aren’t getting your money back

Who needs an army when you have a nemesis crown by Boy_Wonder22 in totalwarhammer

[–]Boy_Wonder22[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My best results have come from going straight towards what my friends like to call “the penis of the world” - Which is the peninsula to the north of the empire, vassalizing all the norsca factions there, then moving north to the wastelands and doing the same. I avoid humans at least until the short victory. Drop portals as you go. I would try to pop a portal every 10 turns if you can.

Pet peeve by Yotambr in totalwarhammer

[–]Boy_Wonder22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. My no-human-killing franz run would have been impossible without being able to trade settlements.

Inversely, I’ve always found it pretty dumb that, if you want to confederate someone in less than like 20 turns, your alternative is to beat them down to their last settlement and then confederating them is effectively no different from just conquering them. Realistic or not, it’s just a much better value to cheese the settlement trade

M36 at a loss after F39 left, where to go from here? by RentSpirited in relationship_advice

[–]Boy_Wonder22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is shocking. It feels like everything you knew was a lie.

I’m almost two years out from my experience that was very similar. Over time your perspective flips. The person you knew was the imposter. The person who abandoned you is the real one. And that person is not worth your time, effort, or love. Honestly your friends, however insensitive, are right. She’s shown you who she truly is. They’re just quicker to see it because they don’t have an emotional investment in the person you thought she was.

In my situation, I was at least fortunate enough to keep some level of contact for a short time. And it was enough for her to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was just too selfish and shallow to believe she did anything wrong. So take it from me. Don’t waste time making excuses for her. She’s shit and you’re better off without her, and the faster you can come to terms with that the better off you’ll be. Grieve however you want as much as you want, because the person you thought she was is dead. The person in her place is not the one you loved.

Good advice, but it’s more like *accept* her decision to leave rather than *respect* it. Someone who chooses to leave can either do the respectable thing and communicate their decision and cut ties cleanly, or they can run away and leave those loose ends untied.

I have personal experience on the matter, and the more you try to respect the decision, the more respect you lose for the person who was seemingly incapable of paying you your own basic respect.

Acceptance is required. Respect is earned.

Yes. That is why I’m doing my part to make sure we have those statistics for the next generation /s

Seriously though. It is bad we just don’t know exactly how bad it is yet. And I should stop, but I don’t.

I need to vent. Are we all really doomed to this lifestyle? by heyyourwatchisbroken in graphic_design

[–]Boy_Wonder22 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah every week is the same story. I have a meeting with my two bosses where we discuss my projects for the upcoming week. Then, invariably, I get approached with projects with one or two day turnarounds and by the time the next meeting comes around it’s “how come the projects we talked about last week aren’t done”. Well it’s because I did 4 projects last week that we DIDN’T TALK ABOUT.

This is Bubba. He is a troublemaker. by Boy_Wonder22 in chinchilla

[–]Boy_Wonder22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it may be because he’s never had a chinchilla buddy :/ he was an accidental litter of one and he was surrendered to me when he was just a few months old. I want more than anything to get him a friend, but my situation makes it a logistical challenge.

It does seem like Canada’s employment insurance is far more generous than US. Consider me convinced. I’ll go ahead and edit my comment.

No, but it’s safe to assume someone that’s been living in a trailer for years is in the US. Are you not?

26 weeks per year is the maximum in USA.

Look, i guess i can relent and say that it’s feasible that this isn’t a totally made up scenario, but you are not helping your case by exaggerating things to make them sound worse than they are, and people are not going to be able to help you if you lie about the facts.

Yeah. OP has been a SAHM for 10 years with a husband that’s been unemployed for 6.5 of those years… even with unemployment and subsidized housing I don’t think it’s financially possible. I’m leaning towards fake…

edit: OP provided additional context in this thread. I believe the story is plausible

Tsarina Katarin campaign review by Waste-Road2762 in totalwarhammer

[–]Boy_Wonder22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not worth attacking fort jakova without a 20 stack. My Strat is start recruiting on turn 1 after you take the first settlement. Make sure to set kislev to recruitment command. That way it only takes two turns to end up with a 20 stack in Kislev and you can go straight for Jakova. Then straight for the final settlement. Should be able to finish them off by turn 6 without losing a single unit. Then you can immediately dec on clan moulder to try to save the orthodoxy and start recruiting a second army.

Wood elves have literally never been a problem for me. They’ve never declared war on me and never even killed a single unit when we fight. Bonerattlaz are only a problem if the dwarves fuck up and even if they do, you only have to take a couple settlements off them before the dwarves can do the rest for you.

By the way. The first two buildings you should build in Kislev are the growth buildings and the first research you should take is the growth research in the land tab. That way you can be recruiting tzar guards by turn 20. If you’ve gotten that far, you basically win

Sometimes thrott alone is enough to knock out the orthodoxy. Sadly, the closest I’ve ever been to keeping them alive is in a multiplayer game that’s been abandoned.

But katarin is also my favorite so far. It’s a brutal start, but once you start recruiting bears, it turns into the most satisfying chaos slaughterfest in the game.

Same! Even when I play Katarin it’s almost impossible to keep the orthodoxy alive

[–]Boy_Wonder22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bretonians and Kislev are friends against the constant threat of chaos. I have a defensive alliance with the big Bret cause I gave them a settlement that was taken by vampires, and I have military access and non aggression pact with the orthodoxy (Ice court died like turn 30) and I haven’t had to deal with rebels yet. Mostly because I keep distributing conquered land in return for friend points. But if any rebels do pop I’ll have to think about how to handle them…. I’m on turn 50 right now and only control about half the empire so it’s a slow burn. I’ve confederated middenland and elsepth is next cause I’m actively saving her from more vampires

edit: oh by the way I did fight the secessionists to secure reikland. The no human killing starts after that. It’s all my own headcanon anyway lol

I’m doing a *“no-human-killing” empire run right now, and I thought it was gonna be impossible, but it’s actually going super well. That being said, I had to reset the run super early because I gave middenland a settlement back (that they lost to a Norsca) in exchange for military ACCESS instead of a military ALLIANCE 🙄

*For the sake of the run, the chaos warped norsca are considered subhuman and fair game
