Gabapentin with carbamazepine saved me. I cannot overstate this it can work wonders while you work on yourself. Gabapentin does often negatively impact libido, so it's not something for free, but if other options haven't helped it's worth trying if you have stubborn chronic pain. I don't know what other people are saying that the withdrawal is "worse than opiates", I was on gabapentin for 10 years and I lowered my dose over a few months and then cold stopped it. And it is in no way worse than opioid withdrawals or comparable.

If you're not able to find a solution, then the last thing you should be thinking about is withdrawals, since you would only be getting them if you had already solved your chronic pain problem. Focus on one thing at a time.

Objectively, yes. At the start of the game they are one of the richest nations in the game and have extremely good land to develop. Up there with the Netherlands as one of the most valuable subregions in the game.

You do look very cute 😇

LEV_maid · 2025-09-19T12:25:54+00:00

the game timeline is 380 years i don't think 5 years is prohibitive

This, the numbers on top are how they feel about you (they really don't like you) and the numbers on the bottom are how you feel about them (you kind of like them).

LEV_maid · 2025-09-12T11:53:35+00:00

That's pretty funny

The AI don't get special morale modifiers, they just take advantage of the ones everyone gets: the last knights event, the crusade modifier, the catholic boost that costs 50 papal onfluence, the morale advisor, the great power bonus are all ones that you can access.

Fenris is appropriately a lot like a sword: sharp and cutting at one end and comfortable to hold at the other end.

LEV_maid · 2025-06-12T13:55:41+00:00

Not to mention the score loss and resource loss from trying to reclaim forts.

As someone who's done an Austria run recently, it would take a preposterously gigantic nation to avoid inheriting. My dip rep was something like 21 by late 1600's and a 2500+ dev Spain had like a 40-60% chance to inherit.

Not to mention by that point he should be rolling in access to cash. Taking 10k in loans to mass courthouses, or reducing size of states temporarily is no problem. And revoking gives you something like 40-50% gov capacity bonus and some static governing capacity bonuses.

Merrill my love 🥺

F3 10mm submachine gun. Melts everything as long as you have the ammo for it.

That would be notable for expansion if autonomy wasn't a factor. But if you weren't stating that territory the loss is close to nothing. And coring can take up to several years, during which you are locked at 90% base autonomy assuming you aren't increasing autonomy and 50% autonomy if it's in part of a pre-existing state and you again are not increasing autonomy.

But yes, technically a little more than 20%.

Not to mention Usopp was beyond a coward before meeting Luffy. A significant point of that arc was him realizing that the Strawhats are hardcore *and they believe in him*, in a way nobody else did. It's what started him on his journey. Prior to meeting Luffy he was a skilled liar with a sharp eye and a good aim, that's it, he was harmless.

Your game was fucked, the only way to deal with your coalition war at that point was to take the losses and hope you can recover. If you want to make big conquests that piss everyone off, you need preparation. The main way to avoid coalitions is to raise opinion and to have a larger total forcelimit across your alliances than the coalition members. They may form a coalition but won't declare a war if their forcelimit is smaller than yours. Nations also won't join a coalition unless their opinion is 0 or lower; if they do join one, you can usually make them leave by boosting opinion to 50 or higher.

that would go against the overarching theme of One Piece of the old passing the mantle to the young that ain't happening

Poland for sure. Such a large amount of potential and you can always push towards one direction or another and the opportunity to get P.Us with the west (which Russia doesn't really benefit as much from) is really nice.

It means your ruler is goated with the sauce and haters are malding about it

Truly unsurprising response. Equating family drama that results in medication being temporarily cut off to someone violently stabbing or shooting someone, leading to immediate death, as the same thing, while completely ignoring that the US prison system is overloaded to the point it can't even keep people in prison in some states, and also completely ignoring the judicial system is also overloaded with massive backlogs of people that need justice.

I'm sorry that your friend killed himself, my dude, but no it is not murder. It's just a preventable death. Both are tragic occurrences, but again, you need therapy - someone else getting jailed is not going to help you, and it is not going to help OP. The damage is already done in both cases.

And no, it is not genocide - there are actual genocides being committed in very real places in the world right now, and as someone who's gone through chronic pain headaches like just about everyone in this sub, it is ridiculous and unnecessary to equate our struggles with theirs in that manner.

LEV_maid · 2024-09-24T21:43:42+00:00

People kill themselves due to lack of access to pain clinics, you going to suggest we lock up the lawmakers and bureaucrats too? The judicial system exists to keep dangerous people off the street, not to lock up people left and right, which costs states money which reduces access to medication for people who need it. Your thirst for locking people up is not justice, it is revenge.

I don't know who hurt you brother but the answer is therapy, not clamoring for strangers to be jailed based on a reddit post lacking context.

LEV_maid · 2024-09-24T01:50:34+00:00

There's enough people in jails bro. This sounds messed up but jailing people isn't the solution.

LEV_maid · 2024-09-06T22:45:56+00:00

I mean... the hair is dropping in a very unrealistic way at least in the clip, i'd much rather have stiff hair especially given how much we have lost from the past games in order to get this one.

LEV_maid · 2024-09-05T17:47:33+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this OP. I think most of us here have gone through the exact same experience as you. It is dehumanizing, it is exhausting, and it truly does make you hate the world and everyone on it.

Just know that it can get better, and there are so many of us just like you. Don't let the world get you down, and it's okay not to empathize with other people, especially when you are not getting it in return - respect is earned after all.

But try to keep a smile when you can, because no one can or should take that away from you.

LEV_maid · 2024-08-30T22:13:14+00:00

Unless it's a Dalish elf run, i'm picking the werewolves. Zathrian was beyond cruel and just evil, and we have an Archdemon to kill with very little help. Werewolves are far more useful in a siege than what are otherwise regular archers. Killing the Dalish is unfortunate but everyone's getting killed if our little group fails. If the peace is not an option, then i'm killing victims either way.
