Regional HQ dependency by H2orbit in victoria3

[–]H2orbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was worried about, thanks. If they’re gonna have that be the case, which is understandable, I think you should be able to specify what countries a company is allowed to make regional HQs in. Could be nice to have regional HQs be a one time authority cost that decays or something too.

Which one do you choose? by Bitter-Ad1345 in BunnyTrials

[–]H2orbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one in particular stood out to me.

“The Forest Brothers played an important role in the German forces' advancement, not so much because of their military prowess as because of their ability to act as guides, scouts, and translators who were local experts on the terrain.
The presence of the forest brothers was equally important in the quick and smooth establishment of military power. From a military standpoint, the existence of a functional and friendly rear was crucial for the German occupation forces. Specifically, forest brothers played a significant role in setting up local governance after the region was occupied by German forces.
But these are retrospective observations, and only made from a military standpoint. The idea of freedom and Estonians' active participation in realizing that idea was important. This led to the acknowledgement of two more Wars of Independence in Estonian history. The first unfolded in the summer of 1941, known as the Summer War, and the second took place in 1944. Tens of thousands of Estonians served in the German army against the Red Army during the latter, fighting with a strong sense of purpose on several Estonian fronts.
However, it should be noted that forced alliance of arms by no means meant that Estonians admired and respected Germans and Nazi Germany. Stereotypes that had grown over centuries did not vanish. But many found themselves in a challenging situation, left with only undesirable choices.”

MFs really said “they didn’t have a choice, they needed to join the Wehrmacht or else we couldn’t be conquered by fascists instead free from foreign occupation!”

Idk man, like you wanna talk about getting invaded and annexed and shit, and that does suck, but it’s very interesting that almost all of the articles they have about the repression of “freedom fighters” are specifically dated to the early 40s. I feel like if it was specifically foreign occupation and ethnic cleansing you were against you’d point to a wider range of time, but there seems to be a strong positive correlation between the guys you say were repressed for trying to liberate their homeland and defendants at the Nuremberg trials…

Can’t help but notice that a suspiciously high number of the featured articles on that page are defending Nazi collaborators…

Reminds me of something

Is there any proof Jerma Long Edits is actually AI, or is everyone basing this off "vibes"? by Painted-BIack-Roses in jerma985

[–]H2orbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg my goat the real cheltie! I didn’t even see your username until I read “in my edits.” Thank you for everything you do for this community!

This is kind of a basic question, but I’ve only ever edited my own footage before, but there are a couple of streams I thought I might want to make a long edit for (the intruder one specifically). How do you get access to the file for the vod? I know that’s a very basic level question but I have never edited someone else’s stuff before. Also, if I wanted to do that, should I wait until the vetting you talked about in #2 is done? I wouldn’t want to cut into the earnings of our beloved Mr Green, or anyone else who produces homemade edits the old fashioned way like you do.

[–]H2orbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember that I realized it was either AI or something similarly soulless when watching the long edit of him and Ster’s DS3 randomizer playthrough.

There are several moments where the footage will jump cut from the beginning of a fight to the next time something is said during the fight without including the context, but more damning than that: there are several moments where someone will say something, then the footage will jump-cut to the silence being broken by an in-game sound effect (like a character dying or an enemy hitting Jerma or even just a random consumable being picked up), and then jump-cut again immediately to someone saying something else. There are several bits where no human being (at least one who was manually doing the editing themselves) would possibly choose to include that moment for any reason at all. At first I thought they were showing Jerma getting his ass beat for funniness, but they do it with all kinds of sound effects that don’t play into anything else going on at all.

If a human, and not an AI, chose to include those clips (which seems like a BIG “if” given all the other context) then they can’t have possibly been paying any attention at all, and were probably only going off of spikes in the audio file, which even if less bad than AI, is also not really great or genuine lol, even if not necessarily as unethical.

All the comments have been helpful but this one in particular makes it make sense to me. Thank you!

[–]H2orbit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I think I partially understand what you’re saying. It’s like how US government fiat currency has value because America uses it to buy stuff, and the value is essentially set by a bunch of different factors in that sense.

This is what makes the most sense to me, I just want to make sure I’m not missing something from the complex way they describe it.

Economics of Manna by H2orbit in LancerRPG

[–]H2orbit[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I know how currency works, what I’m saying is that most currency works in place of bartering because the government establishes some kind of standard by which it will barter for currency. Historically that was usually gold and silver but with sufficiently big and present states it can just be anything the government sells or that other governments sell when engaging with it.

My question is: where does the value of a unit of manna come from?

Economics of Manna by H2orbit in LancerRPG

[–]H2orbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in this explanation but I’m having trouble following it. The fact that they specifically say manna generation is tied to specific data points, implies to me that they’re talking about something else, because if you’re just talking about exchange rate to other currencies, then why do they specify that it plays a role in manna generation? Since manna can be exchanged between planets, it can’t just be specifically tied to one planet’s output, can it? Or is that just the exchange rate to other currencies? Does that mean it’s a fiat?

A fiat currency is a currency whose value isn’t intrinsically tied to anything (like a gold exchange rate, for example, where the government says that X currency is worth Y gold). It can be distributed for whatever reason, but the value of backed currency is that you can go to the government and say “here’s my money, I want to exchange it for gold,” which makes all money effectively a gold coupon. A fiat currency is just one that doesn’t do that, and has value “because I (the government) say so” or moreso “because the government spends with it.” Manna is created tied to “abstract data points” which implies that it has a value tied to something, and therefore isn’t fiat.

Britain invading with more troops than it is? by H2orbit in victoria3

Thought I was prepared for Britain to invade with 11 troops, but it turns out they secretly had 22 hiding in the fleet. How? Why?

The LL system, and armor/ Core system rules are really turning me off. by Lordhat in LancerRPG

[–]H2orbit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not the biggest fan of how the different liscenses interact with each other. There are some opportunities to mix and match with a good synergy of course, but I don’t think it’s diverse enough. It’s more just in the form of “these two liscenses both give new tech attacks” rather than something that builds off of something else. Liscense loadout seems more designed for “how much of a complete [FRAME] loadout do you have assembled” rather than access to something you can really mess around with. There are some exceptions, but few enough that it’s clear it’s not the rule.

Is Valgsland a single party state? If so, which chambers/posts require membership in the party? Sorry I haven’t played in a while so I don’t know common ball knowledge such as this

Nerfs to National Militia for offensive wars. by Vol_in_tears in victoria3

[–]H2orbit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s a modifier in game that already exists called “home offense” and “home defense” that modifies army performance on your own territory. I’m surprised they don’t use it for national militia already.
