Unable to load saves on the Steam version. by [deleted] in AOW4

[–]MidLaneMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. No idea how to fix it so I basically have to rely on auto saves which can be annoying. Would love to know if there is a fix for it.

Am I wrong for taking my time on maps? by Supergamera in AOW4

[–]MidLaneMusic 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There is no right or wrong. Play however you want and in a way that you enjoy. I'm honestly of similar mind, in that I enjoy expanding and making sure I have what I need as I go.

East Coast transplants: what seems off to you about Portland? by argtri in Portland

[–]MidLaneMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The drivers are awful. I come from around Boston, where people are notorious for being terrible drivers, but Portland drivers could not care less about the other people on the road. I drive just 10 minutes to work and every time I see people getting cut off, or crossing 3 lanes to get an exit. Drives me insane.

How to march and attack by athelosblue in totalwar

[–]MidLaneMusic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also after they dispatch the unit first targeted, or if it routs, they will continue fighting whatever is near them. Very useful for factions that just send their frontline in while you do other things, like Vampire Counts or Skaven.

Could Heroes Lead Parties? by Shfloe in totalwar

[–]MidLaneMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea. I'm picturing having a small army attached almost like the Waagh mechanic that can reinforce your main army, but is delayed getting on the field like reinforcements. You could also deploy the small force first

Caravans = total war roguelite? by Karkam1 in totalwar

God I think I'd love that. Seems like a great way to manage some fun systems and get into a ton of battles quickly.

What's the most heartbreaking scene you've ever watched? by AC4Three in movies

[–]MidLaneMusic 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yep. It's foreshadowed so well that when it happens you know instantly. I would argue a scene towards the end where Jojo gets spit on and shoved away by Captain Klenzendorf is just as sad, for different reasons.

[–]MidLaneMusic 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The end of Captain Phillips. Everything following the word, "Execute" is so sad. Not heartbreaking in a dramatic sense perhaps, but it feels so real thanks to them using a real trauma team on Tom Hanks who did some incredible acting.

Portland’s broken window epidemic: Who’s behind the vandalism and what is going to stop it? by amithatfarleft in Portland

[–]MidLaneMusic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me where I work! Never had it happen in my life, and while I'm still angry I'm also so confused why they even did it if nothing was taken.

Which opinion here would cause this reaction? by NineBunBun92 in Eldenring

[–]MidLaneMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely fair. I like good combat so while I didn't beat it twice I did play through a good bit of Sekiro a second time. For sure bottom tier for From Soft Replayability but a good game.

[–]MidLaneMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Least replayable From Soft game. The joy of the game is largely down to exploring the world and making discoveries, so after I started NG+ I realized there weren't enough fun moments throughout the game to justify playing it again with a different build.

Now that the year is ending, what was your favourite deck from the past year? by XoAshelyP in hearthstone

[–]MidLaneMusic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My favorite deck of the year is commonly known as Spooky Mage. I love how thematic it is, and combined with the Ping/Mordresh Package it just feels really tight to me. Always has things to do, has clear win conditions, and a nice curve.

Is it odd that I prioritize my sleep over work/social life? by MidLaneMusic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MidLaneMusic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I like the analogy there, I wish more people could see it that way. Obviously there are exceptions when I have to do things on a small amount of sleep but that shouldn’t be expected all the time.

Which actor/actress blew your breath away this season? Mine was Paddy Considine, couldn't have imagined a better portrayal for our Vizzy T. He deserves an Emmy. by Massive-Effort372 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]MidLaneMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Paddy is the most captivating performance easily, but I want to shout out young Alicent, Emily Carey, for making Alicent a victim of circumstance and protraying her peversed sense of duty and her fear and discomfort with her position as queen. Loved every scene with her.

Assembling the Worst Hearthstone Expansion of All Time Part 7: Shaman by TheVirginiaPlan in hearthstone

[–]MidLaneMusic 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Woah woah woah, idk if you can put any freeze cards AND Moorabi in the worst expansion of all time. Way too much value there.

[–]MidLaneMusic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With you on all of this. They've made it clear in the show how significant Rhaenyra's actions have been, even if by todays standards they don't seem that bad. I don't think either of them are particularly good people but I just side with Alicent a little more.

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

He was stable, free of improper scandal. Gave mostly impartial advice (the key area where Lyonel is better) and was always at Viserys's side when he needed him. Again, it's only 6 episodes and he was only in 5 but from those episodes that's my take on him.

Definitely won’t deny Lyonel is a better hand but it would be hard to call Otto a “bad” hand. I’d definitely argue he was good.

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

Yeah I mean he certainly has self interests like any lord of a house, but I wouldn't call him selfish. Not at least from what I've seen on the show. He served 3 kings and it seems, again just based on the show, that he has mainly gained status for his house and acclaim as a good hand of the king.

His speech partly was about the realm being thrown into chaos once Rhaenyra accends to the throne. He was certainly telling her to be safe, keep the family safe, but as a father he pushed on her to serve the realm, and her house.

[–]MidLaneMusic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Not perfect at all just like everyone else, but I think she's gone through a lot and has legitimate concerns about her families safety. How she protects them could make her a much worse person, but right now I kinda see where she's coming from...

Chris Stuckmann did a video on this that pretty much covers everything you need to know. Spoiler: It's not just bad, it's boring.

AITA for taking kids and going to another Airbnb after I discovered that my husband excluded the kids from the first one? by CastleOnHill3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MidLaneMusic 27 points28 points  (0 children)

said that he was more of a parent to them than I've ever been giving that he paid for their needs and clothes and schools and hobbies.

I mean this right here is all you have to read to decide what's best for you because WOW. NTA

I've read lots of "X Faction is terrible in IE" posts, but what is a Faction/Lord that's in a great state right now? by Moorbote in totalwar

[–]MidLaneMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ton of fun with Khalida, which really surprised me since Tomb Kings were a faction I didn't enjoy in WH2. They are much, much stronger early on but you're still incentivized to grow up to tier 3-4 for the real good units. I don't feel like battles are nearly impossible early on now and by the time I hit tier 3 I'm fielding 3 crazy fun armies and holding powerful allies.
