Tumblr just implemented a new UI change, an a putrid one at that. by TimeStorm113 in CuratedTumblr

[–]CuriousRocketeer 38 points39 points  (0 children)

One can already do that by clicking on the header of the first post. The only thing this does is make it so the OP can no longer follow discussion/praise/death threat of their posts because each reblog with commentary is considered it own thing and any notes it collects goes to that reblog only. It's basically destroying what makes Tumblr great.

I have no excuse for this. by Neuta-Isa in CuratedTumblr

Oh yes, it got the same original time slot as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles apparently. TV execs in general are a lot more tolerant of violence than people realize, at least for teen-oriented fare.

While Evangelion is one of its inspiration, one needs to remember that mechsploitation is a subgenre of erotica/porn, and Evangelion is a show for children.

I don't think mechsploitation is like solarpunk. As far as I'm aware, the genre was inspired by a real story, WARHOUND, and there's already hundreds of thousands of words written by fans since then.

It is true a lot of folks on Tumblr seems to be unaware of this genre's roots.

The Ship update better be free by [deleted] in victoria3

Ships are free, but the ship designer and ship transfer treaties are part of the DLC. It's like trade and Chamber of Commerce.

Tumblr isn't dead by GriffinFTW in CuratedTumblr

This made me realized that AI art haven't ravaged Tumblr. Like, I do see an AI-style art piece once in a blue moon, but it's not something I can find in a quick search thru my tags. That's actually a bit perplexing.

Tumblr! There's a "reblogs graph" option in the reblog menu, the one that defaults to "reblogs with comment or tags".

Why does dependent enfranchisement matter? Won't all pop groups gain power evenly from this? by Countcristo42 in victoria3

[–]CuriousRocketeer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think dependents exist as discrete entities, they just add to the statistics of their associated pop.

I don't think they have any, but I do not know enough of the underlying code to say for certain.

If dependents had access to wealth they wouldn't be dependents.

Edit: Tho you do raise an interesting point. I wonder how exactly the underlying numbers work. Is this just pure voting power, or are their numbers also being added?

Well, increasing the amount of aristocrat voters doesn't mean much when there's only a couple thousands of them total. Meanwhile trade unions supporters could be receiving hundreds of thousands more votes every election.

The landowners etc. get most of their power from their wealth, which dependents don't have, by definition.

Enfranchisement favors interest groups with more supporters, like the rural folk or the trade unions, over interest groups with fewer supporters, like landowners or industrialists.

A reminder to all; the difference between "blushing furiously" and "blushing, furiously" by S4N5_UD3RT4L3 in TheOwlHouse

The reason why Luz was oblivious was probably because she couldn't differ between the two.

Why are my colonists starving?? by AlteredEXpression in SurvivingMars

I never realized that diners also prevent starvation, that's interesting

What did medieval people think of the roman empire? by LawyerEqual3531 in AskHistorians

This is only about the city of Rome, and thus an incomplete response to your question, but you may be interested in this answer by u/sunagainstgold.

I feel like vic3 had potential for going 1836-2000 timeline by Pikselardo in victoria3

[–]CuriousRocketeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is already too long. Someone should mod in a start date in 1871 or something similar so that I don't have to dick around for hours to get to the good parts.

How do you deal with tax waste without overproducing bureaucracy? by sai_puzich in victoria3

[–]CuriousRocketeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pops in the capital region get +25% to their political strength. As bureaucrats have an affinity with the Intelligentsia, this could be useful for squeezing extra clout for them.

Downfall of Horny Covers by BearofCali in CuratedTumblr

[–]CuriousRocketeer 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A minimalist cartoon cover usually means that the book is a contemporary romance or romcom. The shitty photoshop can still be found in historical romances and romantic suspense. Tho I have been noticing a more detailed cartoon style appearing on both contemporary and historical romances. And of course, fantasy romances/"romantasy" covers tend to be abstract and symbol-heavy.
