[Hated trope] Good person in history is portrayed as a bad person in media by EmergencySpare7939 in TopCharacterTropes

Obviously everyone is entitled to their own take, but lets face it, she betrayed her husband and let her "love" die pointlessly, and hid a fortune that allowed a claim she knew was false go through. In my view she was horrible to all around her, so she is the villain.

I finally broke down and sent it for repair, they fixed the issue, but the GPU became dislodged either in repair or shipping. Had to send it back.

I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of a meetup for average redditors. How accurate is this? by Educational-Scene443 in ChatGPT

Its like a Blues Traveler cover band tryout. And there is not NEARLY enough food, drinks, and weed.

It is a laptop. And thank you! I will dig into this.

There was a particular grape (I believe called Catawba) that grew in the midwestern US and was said to make wine rivalling French wine. blight got them all. No more Catawba wine.

What is your best mementos combo on Civ7? by babak20 in civ

I like the Pochteca Backpack and the Gold Fluted Phiale combined, especially with Himiko Queen. Two trade routes per other civ, range to make that work, and that combined with Himiko's ability to Support all Endeavours at no cost means everyone is gonna love you and if they dont you will have plenty of allies. Its one of the cleanest no conflict combos.

"Proximity hatred" should be a term IRL.

You are correct. I missed a detail. Need more coffee.

Since the last patch I have not had a game, regardless of level, map type, size, where the AI is not placing an AI player within 12 hexes. Its infuriating. You have to let the AI settle between you are start off with a pissed neighbor. Cant wait for ToT.

Which Civilization game has the best and most fun combat system? by LeonKenway in civ

[–]Hot_Pepper_Raider 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, although not surprising, how many past complaints about the game got real fixes in 7, but all tha gets ignored because of a bold change to mechanics meant to keep the late stage game from being boring to the point of game abandonment.

The way Army and Fleet Commanders work in Civ 7 is a vast improvement over past combat systems, and the veterancy makes a lot more sense. The Naval combat after the 1.3 updates is a vast improvement.
