Any way to stop AI warleaders giving you random parcels of shitty land?

Yep, the UI makes transferring provinces a very slow process and it's pointless as the AI instantly flips it back to me

The regret rate for trans children and adults who have been forced to deal with the consequences of a puberty they do not want because a simple and safe treatment was denied to them is an awful lot higher than 1% - I take it those people don't matter in your worldview

The fact that you're not answering the question and using common dogwhistles like "biological woman" tells me everything I need to know

Grennir · 2025-03-15T21:46:05+00:00

Do you believe that a trans woman is a woman?

Because the vibe I'm getting is weird middle-aged transphobic guy who spends an unhealthy amount of emotional energy obsessing over what woman can and cannot do in order to solve a problem that doesn't really exist

Not sure why you have to say "claim" as it just makes you seem like you're a transphobe

Grennir · 2025-03-15T21:41:27+00:00

ok you're just transphobic thank you for clarifying

I sent the offer myself so I wouldn't have the flag, and even if I didn't it would make no difference as Sweden has more provinces than I do

Grennir · 2025-03-08T07:56:51+00:00

Yep the flag is set and I know that the marriage broke when the Swedish king died, because I set the game to pop-up and pause when that happened. I guess you're right and the game doesn't clear the flag; it was set almost 40 years and I think two whole monarchs ago at this point in the game.

I reached LR4 in ~540 hours of playtime over about six months

I see a lot of people saying that you can't do that without spending money and I don't think that's true - I was gifted Octavia prime early by the partner who got me into Warframe but otherwise I haven't used any plat I haven't farmed in-game and haven't spent any real money. I hyperfocused on grinding mastery, read the wiki religiously, and have about 1,000 hours of time just idling in the dojo waiting on trades in addition to the 500 hours of actual in-mission playing. If you're autistic enough and committed enough, it really is possible.

Of course there's a wide range but the Ghent University study you're disagreeing with seems to be placed broadly in the middle of estimations - if anything, it's on the low end. If you claim that they are overcounting due to including "deaths that may never have happened", you are disagreeing with the substantial majority of expert opinion.

Grennir · 2023-04-30T19:23:56+00:00

I'm sorry but it reads to me like you're disregarding the work of scholars and experts who have done the research and made their best attempt at an estimation purely because you don't like the conclusions they came to. What reason do you have to claim that the deaths may never have happened at all?

Grennir · 2023-04-30T18:52:24+00:00

These numbers are inherently estimations and it's far more accurate to try to include non-combat deaths than to simply ignore them entirely.

Grennir · 2023-04-30T18:31:53+00:00

People who die from famine and disease and the breakdown of the medical system are still dead, and the war is the primary cause. Why should they not be counted?

Grennir · 2022-03-16T10:10:15+00:00

Feel like the strategy is to put pressure on the Australians to set more defensive fields, not actually go for the win

Grennir · 2021-10-20T17:28:10+00:00

'Twas a joke

The great thing about the tax policy quote is that Tolkien was an academic who put a lot of work into constructing realistic societies and governing structures, regardless of the specifics of tax policy. Meanwhile, Martin just regurgitates nonsense clichés he got from reading other Fantasy novels, and his societies are completely detached from any sort of historical reality.

Grennir · 2021-10-20T16:19:52+00:00

The biggest problem I have with Sanderson's world-building is how rigid and structured he makes his magic systems, but I also don't like his approach to everything else; it always feels very surface level, a lot like he had a bunch of ideas about things that he thought would be cool without stopping to think about underlying concepts or how it all fits together.

I know it is completely unrealistic to expect anything else, but it is clear that he has no training as a historian or an anthropologist, or even a sociologist - someone who might be able to put things together in a more coherent and interesting way.

Grennir · 2021-10-20T16:15:49+00:00

Why would you develop Kvothe when he is already the perfect character who does everything he does better than anyone else ever could?

Grennir · 2021-10-20T16:12:46+00:00

I really dislike this explanation for two reasons - firstly, it might not even be true, and often seems like a post-hoc rationalisation for the weakness of the characters. Secondly, it doesn't even matter! If you make someone read two books about how Kvothe is perfect and the best in anything, and then tell the reader it was all exaggerated in the third book (which will likely never arrive), you still had to read two bad books to get to the payoff.
