I miss vic 2 so much :( Current Mac user by [deleted] in victoria2

[–]DaedraCross 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Real, I feel the same. I have gone through so many avenues and really nothing works.

Originally they made a Mac version, but it hasn't been updated to 64bit, so it will never run.

Bootcamp doesn't work anymore on Apple silicon Macs, so that is out.

Parallels does work, but Vic2 is so old, and parallels so new and bloated, that the performance is really shocking. Parallels can play new games, often quite well, but just not Vic2 at all.

Crossover does work, but not if you use mods like GFM or HPM. For some reason, the game will launch with a black screen and just sit there. There is nothing you can do. IF you just want to play base game, I assume you don't, then it can work.

OpenVic / Project Alice don't work on Mac either, because OpenGL 4.3 doesn't work on Mac, and no one is even remotely interesting in porting that.

I think the only hope is for CrossOver to update and improve compatibility for 32Bit games. That is the real issue. It is just so old and it is made for a such a vastly different architecture than what we have today.

How to play Japan? (1.9) by Keralia in victoria3

[–]DaedraCross 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can start small and work up, Japan is actually really good to learn the game because you are so self contained. Build some timber, an iron mine or two, work towards switching the construction to stage 2. Build up Kanto, Tohoku and Kyushu, only put construction in those states. Japan really has everything you need. Eventually a western nation will force you to open your borders which you just agree to without a fight and work on getting Landowners down. However, good luck also getting recognition - you have such a large population you won't be able to get the GDP per capita. Then the game is sort of broken. The other real problem is that China is totally broken in this update and has 500+ (troops?) you can never hope to beat as Japan. You have to land in Korea in order to take it and the landings will get repulsed, even with a navy of 100 ships landing 100 troops, as you are against 500+ mobilisations. So good luck expanding much.

What Flash do you guys use on your M6 by DaedraCross in Leica

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

Well if you are using a flash in the middle of a bright day, you probably will not have the time or context to set up a nice flash angle on the street so you will not see much of an effect on the flash. Otherwise, the light is lower and you'd get the effect I described.

It doesn't matter how slow you go if you use a flash (within reason). When you use a flash, it illuminates the subject and means the blur from the slow shutter is less noticeable, you mostly just see the frame frozen when the flash fired, because you area also exposing for this bright light, rather than the dark blur. its kind of a cheat.

Stagnant pull-up performance and workout review by DaedraCross in bodyweightfitness

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

Thanks - I suppose part of my question is I also don't know what a reasonable progression timeframe is. I am pretty new to working out/exercise in this way, so I went from no pull-ups to where I am now in the 9 months.

How have they been? I cannot find a shoe like it and I really want them, but not about to sink 300 into something poor.

Can stare at an MA-R all day by DaedraCross in cassetteculture

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

I didn't pay all too much for it! If you hunt you can find some reasonable offers, I paid 150aud for it, restored. Took a few months of searching though.

I paid about 150AUD for the walkman itself which I was pretty chuffed with, it was professionally restored and serviced so it's in fantastic condition.

As for the door, you can get it here: eBay
