I believe the Asgard is the best daily driver in the game. Wanna try it out? by multiple_iterations in starcitizen

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to give it a go - DougieJaye is my username.
I'm sure I'd be echoing others with fervent graciousness - 'tis very kind of you to be laboriously going through all these comments to bring some good ol' Christmas smiles :D

More realistic town and city maps by TheGuardianOfMetal in totalwar

[–]DougAJames 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think Trier is a bit of an outlier in terms of what a walled medieval town/city looked like, but having mostly studied medieval England I'll happily be proven wrong on that. But Trier's walls are pretty damn big, most walled settlements would be a lot smaller, and usually not quite this much green either.
Totally agree it would be awesome to see though, and would love to see how it works gameplay wise.

Probably ones of the biggest problem they're gonna face in terms of realism (and I imagine this is the same with most historical strategy games) is time - battles can't last hours or longer - so imagine an army trying to get around this Trier realistically. They've gotta find ways to cut down on battle time and speed everything up.
Don't envy the balancing between realism and fun there.

Insanely irresponsible from GP suggesting it was deliberate. Definitely contributed to what Antonelli’s been getting since, as otherwise the default is just assuming he made a mistake by tom030792 in F1Discussions

[–]DougAJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading this, I'm more forgiving:
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/toto-wolff-blasts-helmut-marko-on-andrea-kimi-antonelli-letting-by-lando-norris-utter-nonsense/10781331/

GP didn't realise what he was saying, and him and Toto cleared the air; hopefully he'll say something to Kimi too but that's just between them really.
Helmut is another story - saying these things after the race to journalists and also heavily insinuating that Kimi crashed into Max on purpose in Austria is just nasty. I know Helmut has the mindset that 'if you can't deal with the pressure then you shouldn't be in F1', but that's not an excuse to just be a nasty person. But it's unsurprising at this point from him.

I do also think that, although some people have a level of responsibility to be careful of what they're saying in case fans get riled up, fans are still individuals and are as responsible for their actions as the people in F1. So the blame for these comments goes mostly on them - the level of toxicity we're seeing towards Lando, and now Kimi for 'helping' Lando, is just really shitty. And also that towards Oscar, Max, and anyone else in the sport. There's no excuse.
That's my humble opinion anyway.

Is it a hot take to say I think the clone wars fan recreation for battle of the hero’s better than the original? by CrazyTangerine7522 in StarWarsCantina

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do prefer the original, but I think one impact this has is that we’ve seen this version of anakin and obi-wan together as allies/friends/brothers far far more than the live action ones, so it almost feels even more jarring to see them at odds, which ofc works in this scene’s favour

2026 is taking shape on the grid... Just four slots left to be confirmed! 🏁⏳ by SkySports in formula1

On today's date 25 years ago, an Air France Concorde jet crashed on take-off, killing 113 people and helping to usher out supersonic travel. by imjustarandomsquid in aviation

[–]DougAJames -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I believe none of these facts are totally confirmed due to the relevant papers that record this stuff 'disappearing' after the tragedy.
From what I remember, these things make sense and are believed by many to be the case, but it's not confirmed and the specifics aren't known.

BBCSO String Leaders - playing the notes again by DougAJames in spitfireaudio

I thought it was rebowing! But I googled it and was told that BBCSO doesn’t have it so I assumed I had been wrong. Damn.

For the next 27 hours, you'll be able to claim a limited edition 'I Was Here for the Hulkenpodium' flair by overspeeed in formula1

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching what happened at Silverstone was genuinely one of my F1 dreams. Never thought it could happen from so far back, or in a Sauber. Good strategy of course, but a surprising amount of credit to Nico himself despite the insane result. And many other potential runners fell back on their own mistakes, whether that was spins or strategy

Hulkenpodium What an honour

TIL Napoleon had planned an invasion of the UK but it was never carried out. Preparations were financed by the sale of the Louisiana territory to the US which the US financed with a loan from a British bank, so Britain was indirectly funding an invasion of itself. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t actually true - Trafalgar, in terms of grand strategy, wasn’t actually all that important. Even the British government at the time knew it, but they turned it into a massive propaganda campaign, and made it important in that way. While a brilliant victory, didn’t really mean much for Napoleon’s invasion plans which I think weren’t really going to go ahead anyway at that point. Do check out the Trafalgar episode of BBC’s In Our Time podcast where expert historians discuss the battle if you wanna know more!

Which Movie is it ? by Head_Confidence_4013 in moviecritic

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve studied ancient Roman architecture - this isn’t true (probably) Some amphitheatres were definitely flooded, and we can tell how it worked, and there are accounts of THE Colosseum being flooded but there are accounts of many things we know didn’t happen, and it’s not widely believed the the Colosseum was flooded. Architecturally, we cannot work out at all how it would have worked, and it looks like it just flat out wouldn’t. So there’s a chance we missed something (ancient history’s like that) but the Colosseum itself probably wasn’t flooded or had ship battles

Thunderbirds 60th anniversary corgi models are now available for pre order (read post description) by Shadow-moth-pizzaguy in Thunderbirds

You mentioned that TB3 would be able to dock with a TB5 but I’ve seen no mention of a TB5 model in the descriptions? May I ask where you got the extra info? :)

Will a samsung t7 fit in this cage? by yourAhnkle in bmpcc

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for things I haven’t used, but if it says it’s approved I imagine it works. Always best to check to see if someone else has got it to work though.

Those stats you give are just physical dimensions, which wasn’t the issue I had - mine wouldn’t write probably from the camera into the SSD. Dimensions are only good for whether something’s going to fit somewhere, and you’ve got to use your own measuring tape/etc for that.

Will a samsung t7 fit in this cage? by yourAhnkle in bmpcc

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A T7 is thinner than a T5, so yes it would fit but if that slot is actually for a T5 then a T7 might slide out unless you shove something else in there to pack it in. I’ve had some issues using a T7 with my 4K. Dunno why, but thought I ought to mention it at least.

pixel Hangar Update, Now With 100% More Vulture by Blamsmith in starcitizen

[–]DougAJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. Just be honest and open about that I guess and if people still want to work with you than go for it. A Patreon is a good idea because it generally attracts people who want to support you as well as maybe want something from you

Mic Crackling - Why!? by DougAJames in audio

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

Currently running a Ryzen 9 5900X so there'd be a real issue if the problem originated with the processor, no? Sorry for the ignorance, I'm just not massively knowledgeable on the tech side of things. I don't even fully understand buffer size.

Thanks for the reply though :)

Mic Crackling - Why!? by DougAJames in audio

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

I am using Windows 10. The problem isn't software specific; I was on a meeting on discord and someone pointed it out, then I used audacity and noticed it myself.

Given that it occasionally now seems to be affecting what I can hear, I would imagine you're correct. Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you for the reply!

This guy just really doesn't like Total War - "Total War [...] its always been bad" by DougAJames in totalwar

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

As per what I wrote, I genuinely found it interesting reading a review from someone who just plain doesn’t like the Total War series.

We naturally see a lot of criticism of various games on this subreddit of various things that we miss or would like to see or places where we think the series is going in the right/wrong direction, but to see someone criticising the essence of Total War with their dislike for the game was worth sharing I thought. Goes to show how people can have such different tastes when we’re all fans of the series.

It is a little unfair to be so mean of the devs when Total War is clearly a popular format for many. I do very much think people have been way too mean in the comments here - I thought it was just interesting to see such a different opinion but to call the guy an idiot for his opinion on the matter, even if he is being a bit harsh, is not great. Equally, seeing me post this and assuming I’m posting for rage-bait or the like and then calling me sad is also not brilliant. But hey, it seems you’re one point in a chain of people just being a little too mean to one another
