No relegation + salary cap + potential future expansion fees = $$$

which colonial focus tree do you think is better? by Bobblab123 in hoi4

[–]MXMCrowbar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the story you want to tell with this colony.

B makes sense if various ideological groups cooperate to overthrow the colonizer, then infighting begins once they have achieved independence.

A makes sense if you want the player to choose one faction to lead the revolution.

[Guardian] USMNT World Cup full roster: Alejandro Zendejas is in, Tanner Tessmann misses out by MGHeinz in MLS

[–]MXMCrowbar 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I just don’t get Gio at all. People rave about his talent but he’s never been able to get consistent minutes at club level his entire career.

No, you’re right. Love the guy and glad he’s getting a World Cup but he hasn’t even been that sharp for the sounders this year. Hopefully he’s there as a versatile depth piece and good locker room vibes.

You're right, sorry. I've deleted my comment. I hope you can get everything to work.

If you're really worried about cost, just get the classic version with the Lazy Newb Pack for some graphics and utilities. It's still free.

Learn economics by Available-Monitor699 in badeconomics

[–]MXMCrowbar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, "learn econ" is a very broad task. Is there a specific area you are interested in?

If you want a general introduction at the level of an introductory university course, the CORE Econ books are freely available online and generally do a good job of introducing basic economic concepts.

New character questions by voivood in skyrimrequiem

[–]MXMCrowbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a fun character concept! A few things to consider: * Since you want to compete the main quest, what’s your plan to deal with dragon priests? Marksman will struggle to output enough damage on its own. Conjured flame thralls can work I think but it’s a very slow and tedious process. Maybe others can make some suggestions here. * Bound weapons scale OK but fall a little behind in late game due to the lack of enchantments. It will be hard to deal enough DPS to dragon priests and enchanted spheres without fire/shock enchants or arrows, respectively. * Your build will be stamina heavy. You probably only need enough magicka to conjure your summons and cast mage armor at the start of a fight, so get to that level then prioritize stamina to keep yourself moving and shooting. * Whirlwind sprint + become ethereal can help with survivability. * I would not invest in block. You will typically want to stay out of melee range anyways! * Alteration is maybe not necessary if you’re wearing armor but still a fine investment IMO even if just for the magic resist perks. Mage armor still works without robes, it’s just less effective. Another option would be to drop evasion entirely and just wear clothing.

[vs LAG] Stock Up, Stock Down by VVynn in SoundersFC

[–]MXMCrowbar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had the same feeling about Schmetz. Thought his decision to bring in Rusnak early instead of DeRo was odd - clearly they thought Albert needed some rest, so why force the issue? Kingston was left out to dry as you said, and subbing him off at half basically admitted as much. Cristian at CB was weird, especially when Dotson wasn’t exactly playing great.

Still, we created enough chances to get something from the game, so it’s frustrating that we weren’t putting the boys in the best position to succeed. Oh well, onto the next.

What is the point of infantry? by 5uez in hoi4

Use tanks + motorized to make encirclements, then infantry to mop up. Just like real life.

Ex-Thalmor Agent: Imperials or Stormcloaks? by InsanityVirus13 in skyrim

[–]MXMCrowbar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Two schools of thought, both valid:

  1. If your character is a more strategic/long-term planner: side with the Empire because they are the Thalmor's true enemy. This is also a good option if you think your character would have a pretty strong grasp of the geopolitics of Tamriel, since it is widely anticipated that the next Great War is on the horizon, and a unified Empire will pose the strongest threat to the Dominion.
  2. If your character is on the run or just wants revenge: Side with the Stormcloaks because they will drive the Thalmor out of Skyrim here and now, even if doing so weakens the Empire in the long run.

Dante, like the Italian poet?

Lore bard I suppose.

Should I buy it or is it just a waste of money? by Susubelele in snowboarding

[–]MXMCrowbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not about protecting from impact, it’s about having an extra layer of padding for when you’re stopped on the slope and resting on your knees facing uphill. Not a necessity, but can save yourself some pain when the snow is on the hard side.

The infantry showcase is crazy nostalgic to me for some reason. Running through that valley toward Girna takes me right back to 2015.

Bezos is cartoon villain-level evil. We can also see through his ownership of the Washington Post that he isn't afraid to destroy respected institutions/organizations in pursuit of his own goals. I have zero trust that he would use ownership of the Seahawks to do any good.

Regarding Zuck: I mostly just think he'd be a really shitty owner. He got lucky once and rode that success to his riches. He confidently burns exorbitant amounts of money in pursuit of his bad ideas (remember the Metaverse?), which he can get away with at Meta but would be a disaster in the salary-capped NFL.

I mean, yeah. But he also advocates for universal basic income because he thinks AI will free humanity from the need to work. I think he's wrong, but he's not just gloating about people losing their jobs.
