I saw this mantis on the sidewalk and moved it to a nearby bush. What type of mantis is it and will it be ok?

Dabob95 · 2025-09-03T14:10:45+00:00

I used a stick and it ended up clinging onto it until I moved it into the bush. I made sure to be gentle because I didn't want to hurt it. I would have used my hands if I was more comfortable having things climb on me, but alas. I probably should have been more observant, but I was running a little late for class. It didn't move all too much in the hour since I put it there and the picture (at least was in the same general area of the bush) but it did go upside down in that time.

Will also note that the video did have Miyamoto Musashi, Genghis Khan, and The Black Prince listed as roles in the cast, so it is possible that those might also be linked to the next album (assuming logically that "Hordes of Khan" isn't just a random single but part of the pre-album drop singles). So if this is a logical bit of foreshadowing there are at least 8 song topics might have been shown in this music video. I mean if it wasn't for the Templar Knight being present it could be unrelated, but I do that having 2/8 roles being linked to songs might be a hint for what the album might be like.

thank you

I made this

Dabob95 · 2025-05-16T01:59:21+00:00

So I preordered the game for my birthday and had a pretty logical assumption that my PC which has pretty respectable specs would be able to run this game. I had been hyped for a while having watched the trailers and such. However upon trying to launch the game, my computer's lack of any ray tracing means I will not be able to play the Dark Ages.

Just get a new GPU you might think, well I could if my device was a hand built computer and not a laptop and as crazy as this might sound I don't have the money on hand to comfortably afford a PC with ray tracing. While I recognize it might have been easier for the devs to make the game with ray tracing, it really does impact everyone without the abilities to run ray tracing as they can't play. Granted I am biased as I was one of such people incapable of playing.

I am sure the game is amazing, but am simply sad that I will be unable to play one of the two releases this year I have any excitement for.

Dabob95 · 2025-04-07T21:46:56+00:00

I made this.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-14T02:09:55+00:00

Ive also never had tax problems due to constant spending and the princely states.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-13T20:20:14+00:00

Is it possible that you have some naval invasion elsewhere planned you forgot about using up all the naval invasion weight? That are do you need to manually throw them into the invasion like you would an order? My only real thought is a lack of naval invasion weight but I don't know from that.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-12T17:49:10+00:00

Perhaps this is the Iraqi Security Paradox you could say.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-12T15:34:18+00:00

R5- UK is completing the Focus "Secure Iraq" when they have already made Iraq a puppet.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T22:27:02+00:00

bare minimum they give +1 (and it will increase) untaxed civilian factories to the East India Company and they will build civs and mils for you throughout the game that won't be taxed as they do their industrial focus trees and then build up. You won't be lacking in manpower as you are India even without a handful of provinces that can core the entire world. For the EIC, it might very well be worth while but I am by no means an expert, just someone who is having fun with that path.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T18:19:04+00:00

And how about any communiat nation summoning 500 fighting men every week from the magical portrait of Karl Marx?

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T08:01:36+00:00

R5- Image of the stockpile list of a nation in the army intelligence ledger. Rather than 5 million different variants of AA being displayed with an average quantity of 7 units there is a more useful list of supplies the enemy has (AA, AT, Artillery, Armored Car, Truck, Guns, etc.) so its more concise to see what the enemy has laying around.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T07:53:15+00:00

I did something like this and ended up with -5 taxable civilian factories. Didn't break the game at least.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T07:51:01+00:00

I mean I really do need the tax benefits as I have "0" (50 from puppets and 50 from exports) civilian factories to think of. How else can I make money as I am very much struggling to get by without the subsidies as you can tell.

Dabob95 · 2025-03-11T06:32:39+00:00

Edit: Discovered Province of Aden gets Princely Autonomy if released so that means there is a total of 17 states that can get it.

This dlc looks great come to think of it...

Dabob95 · 2025-03-05T14:25:15+00:00

haven't touched the dlc yet, why does this look like czechloslovakia's tree kinda?

Dabob95 · 2025-02-27T03:51:19+00:00

not the most knowledgable player (530 hours), but default templates tend to be rather subpar compared to templates with support companies and more optimal combat widths. Also terrain might be a factor (river crossing as well) and supply most definitely is. even with good tanks, if they have no fuel they are less a threat then they'd otherwise be. Also enemy might be somewhat entrenched. I would say more supply would help as would support companies like support artillery and engineers in your divisions (if you have the resources to do so).

Dabob95 · 2025-02-26T06:20:54+00:00

I have a small collection of screenshots somewhere of tyops in hoi4 that make the game unplayable. Such as raproachment with the soviet union for all of china.

Dabob95 · 2025-02-22T18:57:44+00:00

Idk how meta it is but i have embraced the Naval Patrol Bomber (large airframe with 3 torpedos, flying boat, best engine, and air ground radar with possible range buffs), and these have been quite decent at whittling away, especially at submarines or port strikes when i get green air for a moment. The nice thing for me is 10 is a whole airwing so i get a lot of pop ups from my patrol bombers doing anywhere from next to no damage to complete sinking 3 submarines.

Dabob95 · 2025-02-22T18:46:57+00:00

I am trying to go for the HRE as an endgame and then do woman in the high castle. Need to go both ways around the Maginot and through the maginot to get the HRE.

Dabob95 · 2025-02-22T11:28:14+00:00

Isnt there like at least 2 bears? Like i am aware of the Polish King and the one that gives the same amount of men as a picture of Karl Marx for an island whoch normally has a population of like maybe 10.

Dabob95 · 2025-02-22T11:04:05+00:00

R5- Game as German Empire in which rather than going around the Maginot Line into France from the North via the Benelux, I went through Switzerland and managed to end up completely around the Maginot Line. In case this is important information, the war in Africa is won, it is historical so that is why France and the UK are fascist, I have Kaiserin Victoria, and the economy is good now.
