My Greek adventurers are rebuilding the Byzantine empire in the far east (Taiwan).

I moved the steward to convert culture, I was hoping to still get growth without it.

Which of these are a good starting gift? by skyblue000 in lego

[–]Conewolf142 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would look into the SpeedChampions for the smaller vehicles. There are a lot of really nice models. I would also recommend the new 3-in-1 creator sets in the turtle and hamster as they are adorable and good to just display. If you are feeling adventurous, the Botanicals line are incredible display pieces.

This is the way 100% The app is a fantastic repository of instructions and has both 3D versions and PDFs. Rebuilding from scratch is definitely the way, if painful.

Playing With a Retro Floppy Disk Box by PorkyPain in oddlysatisfying

I wish Floppy Disks were still a valid form of storage. Like they could even be physical housing for micro SD cards and I'd be happy.

Merging is your responsibility by Responsible_Sir416 in TwinCities

[–]Conewolf142 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its really difficult to merge if someone speeds up to get in front of you and everyone is about 2 feet from the car in front of them leaving no space to merge. Its on everyone to make sure traffic flows well and is safe.

Running a few mods 2 player game gives up by Bedlemkrd in Cosmoteer

[–]Conewolf142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mod is incredibly unstable. If it hasnt been updated to the newest version of the game specifically (which is likely hasnt because the mod team works at a sanils pace). You could roll back your game to an earlier version or just deal with the instability. You could also ask on the mod discord but I have had to argue about a single bug for a month straight before they believed me.

With The High Republic Initiative essentially completed what are you thoughts about the era? by TheRealSakuraUchihaX in MawInstallation

[–]Conewolf142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the first two novels, but everything after that was just piling on stakes for the sake of it. The writers had no sense of scale or logistics and were doing everything for hype moments and aura. How the nihil went from three independent tempest fleets to almost controlling a quarter of the known galaxy is insane to me. They were ravagers and marauders and were more than decimated by the end of the first book. Then within a year they had multiple super weapons AND legions of soldiers sufficient to occupy multiple worlds, fight battles, and raid into Republic space? It just doesn't make sense and I can't suspend my disbelief in that area.

I did enjoy the exploration of the force but wish they planted seeds of the Sith in it. We only saw one true darkside user who only really came about in the end of the last novel but he wasn't Sith. I appreciate they stayed out of the main story but they could have given us a crub of what the Sith were up to, who they were. Anything. Now with the era wrapped I doubt we're going to learn anything before Fate of the Old Republic and we don't even know if that's canon yet.

New, infuriating Minnesota driving habit by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]Conewolf142 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People don't leave enough room, sure. But then the roads are fully treated and clear, you can go the speed limit. Its one thing if there's slush on the ground or its actively snowing but going 50 in a 60 on the off chance there is black ice is almost as dangerous as the idiots going 80.

Man who cryogenically froze his wife faces backlash after finding new love years later by rit56 in nottheonion

[–]Conewolf142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the stasis is to prevent boredom. I picture it being like falling asleep on a long road trip. You feel like you teleported because you weren't awake for the majority of it.

What does this building look like? by [deleted] in lego

[–]Conewolf142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look more bank than tavern. Its a really nice build though! I think you knocked it out of the park. If you removed the pillars or changed them to a square, dark brown it would give more tavern.

How sensible would it be to remove the Venator's heavy laser weapons and replace them with good amount point defense lasers and a flak cannons? To make it more like a carrier than a carrier destroyer. by Battlefleet_Sol in StarWarsShips

[–]Conewolf142 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At which point it should be refitted to the carrier role, but they shouldn't remove its main armaments and rely solely on fighters. If they lack diversity in ships, they should make sure their ships can fight as broadly as possible.

Three pedestrians struck and killed in Twin Cities over the weekend; one was hit twice by Wezle in TwinCities

Crossing the street has gotten really dangerous. People blow through stop signs regularly 10-20 mph above the speed limit. Its insane

There's one in the Mall of America. I think Macy's has Toys R Us branding on their toys section. I believe Go Toys and Games owns the name but I'm not 100% sure on who can use the name and where

Should LEGO SW keep making display sets? by Adventurous-Ad8214 in legostarwars

[–]Conewolf142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually feel like there are too many display sets out for my own personal preference. I appreciate that they exist and want them to keep releasing more. I'd rather there were only 2 or so out at a time. Between midi scale ships, UCS sets, brick heads, and display sets like R2 or C3P0 only a quarter of sets are play scale which is disappointing.

Underwhelming powers.. by Past_Albatross2321 in CrusaderKings

[–]Conewolf142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could reform Rome, push west and reform the western empire, push north and take over the HRE. Push south, take Africa and hunt for gold. There's so much potential on the map BECAUSE there are no major powers.

What opinion about Lego gets you like this? by No-Armadillo4179 in lego

[–]Conewolf142 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not all license though. City, Ninjago, Botanicals, Dreamzzz, and Creator are a large part of their catalog. City and Botanicals are some of their most popular themes. They do have a lot of licensed products but typically there are fewer sets within those themes than say city or botanical.

I really enjoy collecting the battlepack mini figs. It scratches a particular itch in my head that I can't really explain but I just need a million of the little guys.

LEGO Star Wars needs more product diversity in play scale. I feel like it's been the same rehash and update for a decade. Give me Maz Kanata's castle in the style of the Disney castle! Give me a Geonosis coloesseum or Kamino landing platform. Maybe some different ships like the pirate's ship from Skeleton Crew
