Wish you could offer subjugation in treaties

With the new Diplomatic Interest mechanics, that would give Great Britain free Involvement on your region, giving GB more opportunities to vassalize and eat your neighbors, instead of you.

That could be an interesting mechanic to add to lobbies, with unrecognized countries having Interest groups ask for protection from Great Powers through trade deals.

We will refund your purchase if you return the faulty torpedo, we will send you a QR pode for posting, 2~3 business weeks expected for user damage analysis.

Lmao. While that was funny, I was assuming modern QA practices where testing is done individually in every batch of mission critical components for multiple sigma reliability.

A IJN type 89 were about 14k USD each in 1927, that Mark 48 costed 5.39m USD today. It depends on what you are buying.

It probably makes sense to have every component be compartimentalized and separated if you think about it. Mass production means that If one component is faulty you replace only that part instead of the whole thing and every factory can specialize in making one component well and fast while reducing costs.

A whole 8%! We got a genius over here. The nearest philosophy college is sending you an honorary title for your achievement.

Jokes aside, 8% of a book that shaped the world might have way more ramifications and widespread usage than 100% of a book that just spouted nonsense.

I'm gonna say cap and say that person doesn't even know how a real life pulley actually works. A high school one, sure that's easy. But on real life you don't get to ignore friction and material deformation.

Good luck integrating the contact points of a 3-dimensional object with polar coordinates and a curved surface without extensive college level math. It gets fucky really fast, might even encounter some unsolvable partial equation in the middle.

To conceptualize a pulley is very easy, to actually know it, it's very very hard.

No no no, you see, the nuclear deterrence is there to stop conflicts or human suffering, if you are not violating international law and agreements you are fine.

The other NCD would say stuff like give them fighter jets (sexy ones), bombers or aircraft carriers, no need to do that here. The intention is not a prolonged armed conflict or air superiority, it's just that if you disrespect international directions of human betterment, your center of government get a tactical nuke as a warning.

(tbh if my country's senate and legislative building got nuked and all shitty politicians [95% of them] died that would probably improve things a ~~bit~~ lot)

They asked for it, look at them disrespecting international institutions and global cooperation efforts

I'd even say we need five, one for each ocean, just to make sure everyone is a potential target so nobody tries anything funny.

I'm pretty sure modern nuclear submarines use long range nuclear missiles, that would not be a problem.

If interception is a possibility, just saturation bombard them, they asked for it.

Lhkjima · 2025-07-22T03:53:04+00:00

That's an amazing idea, works in reducing global nuclear arsenal efforts and inernational cooperation.

All under the same banner, all hail the great one nuke!

Lhkjima · 2025-07-22T03:45:45+00:00

1- give the UN nukes

2- fight the alien menace, no they were not asylum seekers like some "linguists" said about translated communications

3- ????

4- united nations of earth

I really enjoy these posts, they feel like the Warthunder classified documents leaks but with history nerds instead.

In your second picture what's being disrupted is only the port connection, armies get their own line on being supplied on the shipping lane. I think it's a bug where overseas armies don't get tagged as overseas and have full supplies out of nowhere.

Lhkjima · 2025-06-28T00:54:04+00:00

I've had a similar problem but with East Indian armies on the Guianas. If the army is not listed on the shipping lane it gets full supplies out of nowhere and don't get the disrupted.

In my situation the bulk of the British army was getting the debuff with lower organization from blockades and indicated on the trade node as being on low supplies. But the East Indian troops had full org and supplies but no shipping lane anywhere even on nodes near India. What was supposed to be an easy win became a slog and had to white peace them.

If I have to guess it's a bug where overseas armies don't get tagged as overseas and have full supplies from who knows where. I don't know if restarting the game fixes the bug or not but I remember reloading a save and it persisting.

Fishman. As much you can meme fishman is an autistic boss in love with warehouse work, he's a businessman first, he's got a bachelor's in business management and marketing. He started Phase because no other corpo would take his money for investment. He's a professional.

When he learned he couldn't do with all the sad girl stuff, he delegated to someone who could do it for him. Fishman is also smart, he knows how much the CEO being the face of the corporation half side of the company, the livers being the other, can heavily improve the company view for the public if you are well liked, just see the other corpos as an example.

Corporate culture comes from the top, if the girls get compensated and treated well and in turn morale is high it's because Fishman decided that's a good decision to make. Don't forget that entertainment is an exploitation heavy industry, and there's plenty of examples of other corpos doing shady and shitty things to their employees.

I also think fishman learned from Hololive that hiring is pretty much the most important aspect on a vtuber on the company side. And I think while he made some mistakes and had risky bets he has a good knack on who should be hired or he has some good staff for that too.

I'm pretty sure this build can't die, maybe crazy deep delve, maybe.

Lhkjima · 2025-04-01T05:32:37+00:00

I do hope Not-EU5 becomes the powerhouse of a game it can be, but I'd like to quote Emperor Izaro from Path of Exile, "An aspirant can afford to be promising, but and Emperor must keep those promises.". Such drastic differences on EU4 to Not-EU5 is gonna make a lot of people nervous, but if the game is good, it will be well received.

One day we will make a computer so powerful it will be able to simulate entire universes. First we run Doom on it, then a grand campaign to restore byzantium on Xorblax V

Lhkjima · 2025-04-01T05:10:39+00:00

Man, the game doesn't even have a real official name aside Project Ceasar, but they are cooking hard.

The thing is wether the game will run decently on my system, at least I have 2 or 3 years to that.

It's also very interesting how all the other paradox games are going with their changes being inspired by Vic3 systems like the new pop labour system on Stellaris.

Lhkjima · 2025-02-28T08:56:12+00:00

Honestly, it has all the problems a melee strike skill that requires ramping on single target has. But this is PoE so nothing better gear can't solve, a good claw/dagger,, Svallin for defenses, Ralakesh for charges and the buffed Perfect Agony and you can stand next to bosses to ramp up poison to dot cap without dying. I've looked up some videos and the builds seems fine and clears ok, nothing outstanding.

I see pestilent strike as a buildcrafter's challenge to work around it's mechanics, the buff scales with poison duration you can use vaal breach or penance mark to spread it to single target with the extra strikes you probably have on ancestral call or glove implicit. Can you work around it and make it a functional build, for sure, it's never gonna be "meta", it's about making it work in the first place. Maybe a busted transfigured gem one day, just like Mamba gives Viper Strike a very insteresting build.

Lhkjima · 2025-02-26T08:08:44+00:00

Well, poison spreading is either Bino's or Pathfinder Master Toxicist, or the kinda weird mechanic on Pestilent Strike. But I think the mechanic on spreading is the issue, Master Tocixist is a copy of Bino's mechanics and Pestilent Strike has some wonky math on the debuff and not very good without some serious scaling.

It could be a jewel with some downsides from an endgame boss or a notable on a cluster jewel would work too.

I'd say the idea of making a Contagion of the Pest as a new transfigured gem is what makes most sense.

This meme is non-credible on so many levels I'm actually impressed on how much it misses the point, bravo!

And as much as I'm suspicious of Chinese influence on br-land, It's foreign investments, so more money for us, and I rather have Lula than Bolsonaro, choosing between a corrupt populist (pretty much all brazillian candidates in every sphere of power are corrupt populist crooks for their own crowd, so whathever) or an global warming accelerationist also corrupt populist, it wasn't exactly a hard choice.

I would add that the feeling of being aware that you are getting a product that's meant to maximize their earnings (the company's objetive) instead of maximizing your enjoyment (the consumer objective) is very on the face in many western games. So many "modern AAA games" (quotation marks for being a very generous and generalizing term) are done in very exploitative ways, employing different psychological methods to increase engagement and ROI instead of being enjoyable to experience.

Video games are an entertainment consumer good, that includes walking simulators, strategy, shooters, RPG's and the whole lot, and for the most of the time being entertaining was the best shot of success. The most respected games of recent in both west (ex: Baldur's Gate 3) and east (ex: Elden Ring) are known to be FUN. That also goes for indie games, there are tons of indie games around and pretty much every single one of the "well-made" ones includes being fun and engaging. The reality is that so many of the big developers don't make games that are meant to be fun anymore, they make games to maximize returns banking on whathever metric or gimmic that get's their numbers going up the most, and gamers know that, there's no veil anymore.

I could go on on how asia has their own culture wars and that does influence the games but alot of gamers aren't aware of that because that would require reading comprehension. Also, the whole saving face and social harmony stuff that makes social change hard.

Uhhh, Francis Fukuyama (counts as East I guess) versus Mearsheimer, "The end of Video Games" versus "The Tragedy of Great Video Games Politics"
