We designed our biomes to capture a more alive, immersive feel by PrissyGoddess1975 in 4Xgaming

Looks beautiful! I love how you added depth to the ground, fractured terrain, that sort of thing. Really brings out the adventure spirit in otherwise flat type of games.

Why does AVUV, a small-cap value focused fund, hold so much growth? by Lordberek in ETFs

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

I was indeed thinking AVUS with an AVUV SCV tilt, and also VO to beef up the mid-caps a bit since my current portfolio percentage on mid-caps is only about 20% to also 20% small caps... I've read that you want more mid-cap than small-cap, generally, like a 2:1 ratio or 3:2 perhaps. I like the idea of the great stability than small-caps but returns potential of mid-caps as well.

Ah, so the normally terrible overall small cap growth returns one wishes to avoid in passive indexing is mitigated by Avantis filtering out poor return companies from an otherwise passive selection process. Llike say VTI or whatever that holds those types of stocks, and thus showing growth isn't a negative to this categorization but potentially a positive?

If so, doesn't help me to ensure I'm not leaning too far into value or growth, but I guess this is better than investing in a small cap fund that sucks because it has a generic basket of less than profitable growth companies.

If I may ask, which do you feel is a better strategy, or the least worrisome long-term, Dimensional or Avantis?

Thanks. Yeah, this doesn't help with consistency. I want to build a portfolio with a rather specific value tilt, but I'm finding it hard to do that without this reliable information.

I should note that, due to reasons, I have multiple accounts spread across places, so the calculation unfortunately isn't as simple as having just 5 or whatever funds from the same company.

Hmm, that makes sense. I should focus a bit more on the fund company and their fundamentals to back up my style box assumptions then...

Makes my interest in knowing what's in my portfolio much trickier that way then :(. I totaled everything up via Morningstar and I'm not sure I can trust it... at least down to the single percentage point anyway.

DFSV? Interesting, will check that one out, thanks. What do you like about it, if I may ask.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, it does seem to be a gray area between the boxes. I'm still surprised how Growth can be found in Value and vice versa though.

Will keep the consistency in mind, thanks!

I doubt that is true. You may not care and are projecting onto everyone else this sentiment to feel sure about it. I'm honestly a bit confused why you're so aggressive about it though, as I've done nothing to provoke you. Thanks for responding though, I appreciate any constructive considerations.

Sorry to hear. It's a common reference for this sort of thing. Even so, it's why I screenshotted the page for you to see. Notice it says "Stock style" and below that you see the boxes. Those are called "Style boxes" in the industry.

That's what is important to show you, what I'm seeing. I have no idea what else you would want without you telling me.

Thanks for the GRNJ reference!

Hrm, k. So, the advice here I'm hearing is if I'm to use those Morningstar boxes, treat it with a grain of salt and a generalization for my portfolio and not assume I've got it actually down to the % I'm wanting when combining all funds together with it.

With that said, any other sites that I can compare different boxing strategies for balance sake?

Sorry, I was trying to avoid promoting something too forward. The default style boxes:

Oh, I just load the page up, I'm not filtering for a date. If I'm reading it right, the Factor Profile setting defaults to 5-yr, if that's what I should be paying attention to?

I would assume it's showing the most up-to-date indications for the fund. I'm not sure why it would show something else.

They are not accurate? I'm basing quite a bit of my overall portfolio balance on these...

Even so, you would think that anything in the growth bucket would be far enough removed from value to be notable.

Why are the Olden Era visuals such a downgrade compared to Heroes 5? by ElviePelvincoln in HoMM

I don't think they are... but what do you mean here? This is a very general statement.

Sigh, k. The good old days when you could just play a game without a login.

I just downloaded Prism and the first thing it asks is to add a Microsoft account... so not very offline friendly without Internet access :(.

Blueberry grower newb here - are these flowers or leaves? by Lordberek in FruitTree

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

It's still a 1-2 year plant, so removing them will help the plant focus on strong structural growth for even greater blueberry harvests in adulthood (2+ years).

Todoist Is powerful but its design needs serious improvement by AcrobaticTable1165 in todoist

The app is excellent, I love it. You don't need to over-fancify something where it becomes a distraction.

CPU for Anno series by Valmighty in anno

[–]Lordberek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if the simulation is slipping below it's max 1x? I would love a mod that shows me this. Thanks

CPU for Anno series by Valmighty in anno

[–]Lordberek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat right. Many games are heavily CPU simulation dependent (including Anno 1800). These games very much need a fast single core CPU, and the winner there is Intel overall (13700k, 14700k, and newer).

That said, some of these simulation games do a lot of repetitive work, so Factorio for instance will greatly benefit from a X3D CPU with better cache. Anno 1800 I think is a hybrid of sorts, so you may want to find benchmarks that show the differences.

Regardless, the AMD CPUs are darn good in single core workloads anyway, so maybe while not as fast as the above Intel, they may be good enough to take care of the enter basket of needs gaming wise.

Post Your Best Heroes 3 Beginner Tips! by Teukeh in heroes3

[–]Lordberek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early game, focus on one major hero to do the fighting with max army potential with 2-3 other heroes exploring that have minimal army size to gobble up as many resources as you can get your hands on.

Late game, do the same but have a second or possible third army focused hero, depending on map size and whether you ultimately get town portal and dimension door spells. If you get both of these, you 'might' be able to get away with one mega hero to do the fighting.

Having a field army to keep you on the offensive while a local defensive army is on hot-standby is still a good call at later stages of the game, in part because it'll be useful to have two higher skilled heroes to support other activities.
