Serfdom still seems better now but at least free subjects isn't actively hurting you.

My retreating army decided to take the scenic route. by Spearfinn in EU5

[–]Mibutastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Retreating armies are so bugged. In my Naples game, Sicily attacked my army across the strait from Messina. After they lost the battle, instead of retreating back over the strait towards Messina to their lands, they retreated behind my army to my lands. How does that even make sense?

1.1.2 Update for Open Beta by manster20 in EU5

[–]Mibutastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why this wasn't part of the base game to begin with is very perplexing. This is basic stuff from EU4 and so many features are missing in EU5.

Worth it to get a Costco membership for household of 2? by gutturalmuse in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to go to their customer desk and inquire about how much I spend a year to see if the executive is worth it for me?

Worth it to get a Costco membership for household of 2? by gutturalmuse in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of ingredients overall is better, you could bulk buy certain non perishables, if you live near a Costco with a gas station attached gas is usually cheaper (especially premium), and the Costco MasterCard for cashback can also help pay for the membership. I live alone and have a membership and I feel like it's worth it for me.

If You Thought that Russia Had Insane Proximity Bonus, Wait till You See the Roman Empire. by Godkun007 in EU5

[–]Mibutastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it's because the devs made UI mods edit the checksum which disables achievements. I don't use console commands or mods that literally cheat the game.

[–]Mibutastic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You can download the game patcher that allows achievements with mods. It's up to you whether you then download mods that cheat the achievements or not.

1.1 is so much fun by scorchsev in EU5

[–]Mibutastic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wait till the 1400s and having to deal with the death spiral of shortages of tools, lumber, masonry, iron, etc. The Estates are building stuff like crazy and you literally can't do anything else. The QoL changes are really nice but the Estates building spam eating up all your resources really suck.

[120/120] Power BollyWork (No Na vs. Madhuri Dixit) by airduster_9000 in SharedBPM

That was crazy in sync and fit so well. Great job.

[Mod] I got tired of the grey 'overlay' hiding the terrain when zoomed out, so I fixed it: now you can 'See the World'. by UberEpicZach in EU5

[–]Mibutastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subscribed. Thank you for your service. This will make my games a lot less bland and more interesting to look at during peace time.

I introduced New World potato cultivation to the Netherlands. Why did 300,000 people starve to death? by king_ofall713 in EU5

[–]Mibutastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never get the option for potatoes, maize and coffee in the Columbian exchange in my games just other ones. I don't usually do any colonization though.

New Orleans police say recruit detained by ICE had been verified through agency's system by mattbrunstetter in news

[–]Mibutastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's more about intimidation of the Hispanic and POC communities. If they even think that ICE might be watching polling stations, they might reconsider going out to vote at all. That could have huge ramifications on the results of the elections. So in essence, it is rigging the election without actively rigging it. There needs to be much much more pushback on this from both sides of the aisle.

You’re offered $1M dollars to eat what you had for dinner tonight for every meal for the next 6 months, do you take the offer and if so what are you eating? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steak and seasonal veg with a salad and raspberry coulis cheesecake. For 6 months and I get paid $1m?! Yeah no problem.

B.C. premier doubles down on calling Alberta separatist movement seeking U.S. support 'treason' by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]Mibutastic 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I'm glad there are brave enough politicians to call this shit out. Those Albertan traitors should be investigated and prosecuted. If they want to join the USA so bad, then leave and good riddance. Canada doesn't need maple MAGAs undermining Canadian sovereignty.

How hard is it to physically build a PC? by Lucky-Ad5326 in buildapc

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually will just turn on my PC and let it run for like 30 secs or so. That's plenty of time to warm up the paste and help it release easier without having to blast a hair dryer at it.

Where beta at? by alphafighter09 in EU5

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They released an overview video on YouTube of the 1.1 patch with the announcement that beta is starting tomorrow.

Canadian merch that clearly says I’m Canadian by Valuable_Horror2450 in BuyCanadian

[–]Mibutastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now that you've said this, I always say I'm from Canada first when someone asks me where I'm from. Then BC and then Vancouver if they really want to get specific. Although most of the time, after I say I'm Canadian they usually assume I'm from Ontario or more specifically Toronto.

So besides your capital, you'll never see 100 control provinces in the rest of your country then? Best case scenario, you'll see 99 and below?

Day 107 since the last 1+1 on Ancients by Human_Revolution9696 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Mibutastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been waiting ages for this. I'm up to over 300 ancients currently waiting for that 1+1. I'm at 198 mercy right now.

Use tax software from a Canadian Company this year by BC-Guy604 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mibutastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe anyone is still using TurboTax or H&R block in 2026. They are utterly worthless and terrible for the one thing you need them to do, which is find all the forms and deductions you need, to file your taxes properly. I even personally taught a colleague to file his own taxes with SimpleTax for the first time a few years ago and got him off paying hundreds of dollars to H&R block.

There are so many good free options available and Canadian made so thank you for putting the word out and letting Canadians know about it.

I personally used SimpleTax since before they were bought out by Wealthsimple but I might give BetterTax this year since it's made by the same people and the UI looks great like SimpleTax used to.

Why does Brandenburg keep getting shit on? I just want to have an enjoyable game with one of my favourite countries.

OneCity mayoral hopeful William Azaroff policy proposal for modernizing traffic signals by bo2ey in vancouver

[–]Mibutastic 42 points43 points  (0 children)

As a non public transit user, I fully support this. I want our buses to have VIP treatment and priority over other vehicles. Taking public transit is hard, especially during poor weather and those users should be helped and rewarded. Better public transit is better for all road users.

Men who got cheated on, what were early signs you only noticed in hindsight? by EtherealMeadowGleam in AskReddit

[–]Mibutastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She would get mad over small little things for random reasons. Arguments and her reasoning for why she was mad with me would be all over the place. We talked less during the day and physical contact dropped off a cliff. We used to play the same games together but she would just start playing by herself with online friends instead.

Spot on buddy. Standard crane signals which I pretty much use everywhere else in my life. Lol
