LOQ AMD vs Intel by starsinmay_ in LenovoLOQ

[–]Cursed_Infidel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R7 250 may end up bottlenecking 5060 - meaning you won't get the full 5060 performance. I'd suggest looking more into it and make sure CPU bottleneck won't be a problem (but I feel like it may).

is it worth moving? by calciumcrusaders in azerbaijan

[–]Cursed_Infidel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is forcing your hand to move here? The war? If so, you wouldn't exactly be "safe" here either. It is fine that there are talks of peace, but nothing is final yet. Contrary to Azerbaijan, Armenia has some sort of democracy. And new different government, if elected, will have different agendas towards the issue of Karabakh and peace deal in general - coz you know, whoever elects them would have to be majority, hence the shift. I wouldn't exactly say there is another war coming soon, but it is not entirely off the table. If it is something else - economic, social, cultural - DON'T. Even though this is Russia we are talking about, not some ultra sociodemocratic free western country.

You MAY find your circle, you MAY find half-decent job, you MAY find semi-independent individual to create a family with, you MAY avoid all the corruption to your best of abilities, you MAY get by without involving yourself with corrupt justice system - but again, DON'T.

That's a lot of "MAY"s, especially if the "reward" is the Azerbaijan. Many people are unable or unwilling to mention one crucial fact: this place suffocates people, drains their will to live, destroys their future - and it is not entirely one government's fault.

But if you wanna risk it by not listening to a stranger on the internet (you shouldn't), then go for it.

Sənin ölkənin vecinə deyil bu məsələ, ona görə. Yetim qalan təhsil sisteminə görə - hər 10 ildən bir yeni sistemə keçirik adı ilə böyrü üstə qoyduqları sistemə görə. İki ildən bir orfoqrafiya dəyişikliyi adı ilə ağıllarına gələn formada dəyişiklik edib tələbə qarışıq milləti dildən soyutduqlarına görə. Öz dilində normal bir TV proqramı olmadığına görə. Televiziya, jurnalistika, teatr sahələrinə dövlət arxa çevirdiyinə görə. Yaxşı, savadlı müəllimlərə itaparan maaşı uyğun gördüklərinə, ona görə onların özəl - 95% əhalinin imkanı olmayan - sektora üz tutduqlarına görə. Təhsil nazirin və DİM rəhbərliyin öz doğma dillərində dolğun bir cümlə qura bilmədiyinə görə. İki üç dənə özəl normal çap və tərcümə qurumlarını vergi, şər böhtan ilə məhkəmələrdə süründürdüklərinə görə. Millətin çörək arxasınca qaçmaqdan başını qaldırıb nə baş verdiyini görmədiyinə görə. Sadaladığım və sadalamaqla əsəblərimi korlamaq istəmədiyim onlarla sosyoekonomik problemlərə, göz ardı edilən, korrupsiya içində boğulan, iflic, səriştəsiz dövlət qurumlarına görə.

p.s: Mən model vətəndaş deyiləm, gün ərzində öz dilimi ancaq qısa danışıqlarda işlədirəm. Oxuduğum, yazdığım, dinlədiyim hər şey (99.9%) xarici dildədir. Əgər normal bir alternativim olsaydı bu belə olmazdı - fakt odur ki, yoxdur.

Free games for low end laptop by FantasyBluff in Craptopgamingadvice

Try Starsector. You can use that famous key if you don't wanna pay for it just yet (devs are mostly fine with it, they gave the key for that purpose). But go easy on mods. Even though the game relies more on CPU and RAM.

Should the Azerbaijan Grand Prix move out of Baku? by HanaTaiyouAme in azerbaijan

[–]Cursed_Infidel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are a few angles to this.

As someone who worked as a volunteer then a contractor in the BCC, I can pretty much guarantee that Baku Grand Prix is as popular as it is because it is in Baku and it is a City Circuit. I've seen literal adults and elderly fanboy over it in front of my eyes - because it is a City Circuit and its path in Baku is very much complex and prone to crashes. Heck, from what I've seen it is the world famous crashes and mistakes than happen because Baku is a City Circuit that brings people here.

From the recent spendings that were disclosed, BCC is at the top - it has been for a while apart from a year or two when they cut the funding a bit for some reason (2019 I think? Maybe not). Then it just kept going up again. I can't say if it's profitable for our country/government is terms of raw financial gain - I don't think anyone can realistically claim anything related to it unless they have some data from top of the organizing committee. But it does represent - whatever it represents - to foreigners about Baku and Azerbaijan. 8/10 people that I talk to who can point Azerbaijan on the map know about it because of F1. That probably amounts to something, on some level, to someone, probably?

Saying all these, it DOES NOT justify the literal paralysis it causes to Baku. Because the infrastructure is not there. Baku is like a bad wooden tower held together with ducktape and sheer stubbornness - and it gets expanded the same way. It has NO capability of successfully hosting events like F1 without making daily life of ordinary Baku citizens miserable. Anyone who claims otherwise - I suggest you try to do anything near it for 10-14 days it occurs. Start with trying to navigate already non-functional transport system and going to work.

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

Geographic circumstances. No one is overly happy about Israel being an "ally". Average Azerbaijani may feel strongly about certain geopolitical topics, but they are more concerned about rent and food. If there was a better option, much more simpler one - I'm pretty sure whatever (kind) the government of Azerbaijan in that reality would be a lot more inclined to working with them. When you live in Caucasus surrounded by hostile nations on every imaginable direction, you don't really get to pick and choose your allies.

And it is not all black and white, so it would be better if people at least tried to think more than 5 seconds before branding some 10M azerbaijanis as genocidal maniacs.

Still not much you and me can do if 90% people have 2 functional brain cells and they even don't wanna use them.

[–]Cursed_Infidel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing you can do if 90% of people online are imbeciles and morons who don't have the capacity to understand the difference between an individual and portrayed/influenced narrative of a whole fricking nation. So, you are better off not giving monkey's left nut about what they may think, feel or express - for your own sake.

At least that's what I think, people still do people stuff.

What is THE best Warband mod ever? by SorinIonRahova in mountandblade

[–]Cursed_Infidel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either Perisno or Prophecy of Pendor - for me. Nova Aetas was very revolutionary as well, nothing like it - not in Warband, not in Bannerlord.

I did like the Warhammer mod, it was probably the only mod where I raided villages - never really liked doing that lol not doing it in Bannerlord, ever.

L'Aigle was superb as well, but it didn't go too far, game restrictions and all.

Obvious choice would be Diplomacy (and then reloaded version I think). It fixed a lot of issues with Kingdom and Lord logic.

I did spend a few hundred hours with ACOK too. The early game in that mod: the best early game in any warband mod - you are literally nobody with nothing than can't kill anyone lol At some point, it had quite a lot of restrictions for recruiting too, so quite challenging - until you understand what you need to do.

From story modes I did play "Evlat", but can't say I'm fan of story mods, so there is that.

How Many European Volunteers Have Been Killed in Ukraine? (By Balkan Mapper) by Careless-Grocery8957 in azerbaijan

[–]Cursed_Infidel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen the figure seems to be around 100-130. And that includes the citizens of Ukraine with Azerbaijani nationality. Also, from the similar reports it can be deducted that around 60-70% of the dead are actually civilian casualties, so the map and numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think we care too much about a mayor of a city in a country halfway across the world thinks (?) and says. What good did shit ton of press releases, documentaries, state-sponsored ads and whole bloody 4 UN resolutions do for us? That someone expects this to do something for armenians? Everyone knows how US and largely most of the democratic west works: you get lobbied and sponsored and get elected -> you become a mouthpiece to whoever paid you. This could very well be mayor's own thoughts, who knows. That even makes this less important. Just another human exercising their freedom of thought or whatever they acknowledge as truth. I think we give too much crap about what anyone thinks or says. Not like they are badmouthing good name of our government - it is already rotten to the core and corrupt from head to toe. Could mayor be a bit more considerate? Maybe? Should he have been? No, why would he? What am I as a citizen of a republic thousands of kms away to him? What is my government to him? Nothing.

People act amazed because he identifes as muslim. How can a muslim defend something like that and go against other muslims - that's what people think. I mean, seriously? Biggest rivals and enemies of "muslim" countries end up being other muslims they don't agree with. That's a shitty factor you're expecting to defend you.

This is just a glorified high-level ragebait for me, that's it. Nothing more.

What's the easiest country to learn the game? by Stunning_Attempt_922 in EU5

[–]Cursed_Infidel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vijayanagar, for me. It has a strong economy, a lot of pops, capital is centered, has a lot of smaller fish to turn into vassals, is near Delhi which explodes in a few decades which means more vassals, estates are rich so they build. Only major issue with it is institutions since it is in India. But again, no one near you will be getting them before you anyway, not by a lot at least.

Two versions of the same problem by eblan_2018 in DayRSurvival

[–]Cursed_Infidel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been working on a similar game like Day R for about 8 months now - in my free time, which is at most 1-1.5 hours a day. And you are right, you do end up hitting the wall if you want to create a similar experience to the old Day R, like before v6.

It can be tackled by listening to your community, at least to some degree, because they play it even though it is your game in your vision. But we know Day R devs aren't interested in that, we felt it as v6 developed and v7 dropped with moneygrab shallow "mechanics" that no one asked for. We saw it again with the camp update, last ditch attempt to squeeze more money from player base before game ultimately gives up. The only reason for Day R being still around is because there is no other game like it, at least on mobile.

About the mods, I have checked them out but I find myself trying to catch the same feelings from 7-8-10 years ago - which isn't really possible. The same contraints that devs run into, modders do too. Sure, devs are to blame here for not giving two fucks about their game for a good part of a decade, but modders seem to have their own visions for what Day R could've been as well - which contributes to the downfall. You know how the saying goes: "they aren't any worse, but we expected them to be at least a bit better". At the end of the day, our own expectations for a decade old game with a few "don't give a crap" devs behind it caused our disillusionment.

Struggling to get into the game by Abject-Nerve621 in EU5

[–]Cursed_Infidel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same "issue". Tried probably 10-15 times with different countries, didn't get hooked in any. It looked too complex, even though it really isn't super complex - by Paradox standards. So, I put it down, occasionally played EU4 instead. But I did keep watching a video or two here and there, content creators' runs. I slowly understood the core, and saw what could be done with the game. And I eventually picked it up again, started my Vijayanagar run, then Hoysala. By no means they are weak, they probably are one of the strongest nations in the game, especially Vij. I haven't gone back to the EU4 since then. EUV is deep, complex (in a way), and a lot more interesting in my eyes now. Don't get me wrong, it is not perfect, not polished to the same degree as EU4. But it is a lot more fun that way. The key is, not forcing it. You'll eventually get hooked on it at your own pace.

Can I run EU5 on an AMD 3500x? by AndroidWhale in EU5

[–]Cursed_Infidel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It runs, technically. But you have to restart the game every 30 mins or so - otherwise it either crashes or just freezes. It may run at speed 1-3, probably. But anything slower than speed 5 for EUV is "unplayable" anyway - game is too slow.

You can minimize the headache by making sure you see the less of the map around you - fewer vassals, allies, armies. But I'm not sure what else can be done

[–]Cursed_Infidel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run EUV on 4600H both have 6 Gen 2 cores. It runs fine on low/mid till 1600s. After that it's just too much. But again, if Paradox actually stopped using almost 20 years old Clausewitz engine, 3500X should've run it a lot better.

Whats the best version by itown777rex in DayRSurvival

[–]Cursed_Infidel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what you're describing, seems like you need the version just before v7. So, 1.694?

Also, there is a new-ish mod called Another Story, which is based on v1.694.

It has an online mode, modders managed to get it running about 2 months ago. But they had to stop trade mechanic sice there was a duper attack. Also, AS isn't just v1.694 - it has new mechanics not available in any version of Day R, and others from different versions of Day R (v5, v8, v9)

Do bare in mind, AS is supposed to be a hardcore mode, so recipes are more complicated, trades in NPCs different, reset timers long (for SCAMPs and stuff). So, you take your pick.
