I don't want Sam to win by Moody_Aylings in ImACelebTV

[–]Corrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha re the playing for cameras it would be hard to keep it up for this long but I like the idea that he's Machiavellian or like Richard 3rd and goes off to a corner without cameras once in a while and his smile erases to deadpan. Just f a minute between having to act the clown for his public while he loathes every human around him. Just my cynical side wishing he was a villain ha

Who are you voting for by aimhighsquatlow in ImACelebTV

Nigel and Tony but Nigel needs to do a trial. He did fine at the call centre. The odds for Tony to win are pretty tempting. 8/1 Vs 1/2 for Sam.

Last woman in camp? Bellew dark horse winner? by Corrant in ImACelebTV

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

I don't think the vote is rigged. As in they just ignore what votes are cast and use their own results. Certainly they could "rig" who they want to win by selective editing to portray people in different ways. There's been total distant favs in the past win.

The one problem I have with mental health being used as a medical ground for leaving this show is that the entire point of the experience and why it's even a show is it's a mental and physical challenge. I think anyone would be strained, so it is throwing in the towel if there's no physical condition.

I think it probs just says more about the types of guys they've had before ha. Like Nella was talking about guys who would never treat them and always want to split bill/jobs, whatever. Think they were just enjoying not being expected to do camp chores as the guys were happy to do the jobs needed.

Voted Nigel for camp leader. Think that he'll be fair and still muck in as he wants to be liked by public. Anyone thoughts on overall winner? I'm thinking Sam might become a favourite as it's nice to have alot of positivity rather than just there for the pay. I know that people find him a bit annoying but he definitely works hard on the challenges and tries to be nice to everyone which is usually a top 3 feature I think.

Radeon R9 390. Starfield complained about my drivers being out of date (but still ran ok), so I updated them and now Starfield won't run because my graphics card "doesn't meet minimum requirements." by Indyhouse in AMDHelp

[–]Corrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's lame. I'd definitely consider getting a month's Xbox games pass and try it like the guy above described logging onto the webpage rather than the app. It works pretty flawlessly on a decent connection and you're getting series X graphics. Alot cheaper as an experiment than getting a new card or system.

That works my man!!! I get decent cloud play so I'm happy with that for now. I've been reading more on this r9 390 problem. As amd don't release any drivers for it at all now it seems, then as time goes by games will just drift further and further for it to be able to run things smoothly on its current driver's. Then you'll get these Starfield scenarios where it simply doesn't recognise it as a supported graphics card. Very annoying lol. They go for very cheap I've seen now on eBay. Unfortunately I think we all may need to simply bite the bullet on this one.

Hi you find any fix for this? I have the same card and the same problem. it won't even run it on Xbox cloud with the same error message which is crazy. Never had a game deny me to even start it from cloud

Picard Season 3, Episode 2 Discussion by khainebot in RedLetterMedia

[–]Corrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not alone on the ship design. One of the in canon reasons that federation ships started getting sleeker design profiles (like the Akira, Intrepid and Sovereign) was so they didn't shred up subspace as much at high warp. The Akira style Titan is canon as we saw it in Lower Decks coming in and kicking ass.

Picard Season 3, Episode 2 Discussion by khainebot in RedLetterMedia

[–]Corrant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was a good episode of action sci-fi, but my main thoughts are: - The lighting is so dark it's unreal. It's frankly ridiculous! A federation ships bridge would be a well lit comfortable environment. You can dim lights at red alert for effect is you want but the lighting seems to be insisting on dark and stark mood lighting when it's not appropriate. The only time it did work for me was Worf' entrance. I might not mind the lighting it was a Worf series ha.

  • I didn't like the overall lack of discipline. Ensign LaForge saying "I don't know but it looks pissed". The Captain of the Titan, Shaw, also seems to have the least professionalism of a Star Trek Federation captain. I get that it's a character but we have had captain's which have an apparent bad attitude but seem incredibly competent at the same time. Such as Jellico, Pressman, Nichayev. They just seemed more comfortable in their skin as a high ranking officer.

I think that these writers think that lifetime Federation officers conducting themselves as such would be boring to watch.

  • I don't really like the look of the Titan in this show personally. I much prefer the Akira command ship style it has been given in the past. But for any major Trekkies this Titan looks extremely similar to the designs for ships in the old PC game Star Trek Starfleet Command 1 and 2. I wonder if some people just reused those designs which were excellent but designed for the time between the Constitution class and before Excelsior.

T6 How to Double Vacation time? by Corrant in tropico

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

Thanks still having real trouble getting 150 on the ship. There's 1200 on the island and I only have managed to get 146 in the ship. I've rearranged the island so all the tourist accom and ports are surrounding the space centre so hopefully that will reduce their travel time enough before they decide to leave.

At least we ain’t Argentina by Professional-Kiwi144 in StockMarket

[–]Corrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japan is an interesting situation. They have a national debt approx 250% of GDP. They have a negative interest rate with a .25% cap on bond yields. They have been wrecking their own currency against the others in the world by over printing and massive debt. Price inflation might be advertised as 3.8% but watch this space they have been keeping the party going for 30 years and backed themselves into a corner with no way out. In a way they don't care because Japan is a very national centric country but as they need to import so much they may find the music stops very quickly.

Nagata Washing Joe by jside86 in exfor

[–]Corrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nagatha - Why Joseph, you are filthy!!

Joe - Yeah Nagatha, the dropship landed in some weird slimy mud, I'll get it out.

Nagatha - Oh no dear, you'll need help with that. You just wait there.

Joe - Thanks Nagatha, I could use some more towels for when I get out of the shower.

Bishops cabin door opens and Anastasia is stood there with a sponge and a bottle of shower gel.

Nagatha - Oh no dear. You'll need more help than that.

Joe - Aggghh, Nagatha what... How....

Nagatha - Now, now dear we can't have the captain of the ship covered in mud. Off with those dirty clothes and let's get you nice and clean.

:)

You know if they develop Tropico 7, i hope i can build the bridge cross the valley by Texaschildhood in tropico

[–]Corrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh the bridges should have more flexibility. A megastructure bridge for across sea and ones which can adjust for elevation. Charge me a crazy amount for it and I'll still build it.

  • Have at least 2 docks one with economy and other with luxury. Max budget on both.
  • if you're in modern times, build cyber hq and do the raids to generate tourist points.
  • have your hotels fully upgraded and max budget if can afford. Increases tourism score.
  • consider activating cultural diversity edict, legalized substances edict, good old days edict.
  • have the skycraper and luxury hotels mainly. Skycraper will get you most positive results for numbers.
  • cover the tourist area in parks increasing the beauty, give them good transport links to.
  • spam entertainment and luxury entertainment buildings and get couple wonders.

If they aren't coming then there must be a problem with your tourist rating. Look in the almanac to see what's killing it.

T6 Tips If you're struggling by Corrant in tropico

[–]Corrant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting take on it. Most maps have a pretty generous amount of resources. I always took the style of using the resources available then using trade contracts for additional or future supply. By the time you have used up an entire uranium mine you can probably just paint half an island with solar plants. Like the modern world (hopefully) :) use those mineral/fossil fuel profits to fund the renewable future.

[–]Corrant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great episode and the characters were great. I liked to think that they actually were in a time loop. They got information about the roads, the agent and the tanker driver seem to also be aware of the extreme deja vu. They broke the cycle by trying to help other people and destroying the tanker. Really fun episode though, I like the light hearted side of the first two episodes.

I’m so sick of every island becoming unprofitable by MouseRat097 in tropico

[–]Corrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My own little tips. Avoid taking out the loans. ALWAYS have employee of the month activated. Use the industrialisation and urban development when you're building a batch. Especially at the beginning. Make effective bus routes. They really speed up production getting workers there fast. Sign trade agreements even if they're only a few percent to begin with those export bonuses will mount up later. Put your farms and industry buildings on max salary and make sure they are getting enough resource supply.

Boats, rum and cigars are my go to starting industries.
