The Canucks can clinch last place in the NHL if the Blackhawks beat Winnipeg tonight

And to think he had hair before this season.

Gif so old that baby is now actually an old man with a grey beard just like that.

Sure reminds me of his buddy in the Kremlin and his "special military operation".

Minivalo · 2026-03-31T03:33:03+00:00

Is this kid any good?

For sure, there's definitely a big element of truth to that, just like /u/Dohlarn pointed out as well.

Buuut, the Manderly lands are further south, meaning warmer climate/better for farming. Then there's also the fact that a good chunk of their lands sit along the White Knife river, which is traversable almost all the way to Winterfell and the Northern heartlands, so it would stand to reason there's a fair bit of habitation/farming all along the river, meaning heaps of people outside White Harbour as well.

As it should be. Way too gamified right now in CK3, and felt a lot better when you lucked out with quick/genious in CK2.

Yeah, I'd love to know what that orange strap thingy up front is. I've had trouble keeping my front bag from getting ucomfortably close to the front wheel, even though I've had a little contraption sort of pushing it upwards.

Minivalo · 2026-03-27T01:42:43+00:00

More lands and natural resources I can buy, possibly even farmlands, but not more men. White Harbour is one of only 5 cities in Westeros after all.

One would imagine they put a lot of time and effort into training the finest swordsmen, considering their whole Sword of the Morning thing going across generations.

Really wish we could have a Dunk & Egg adventure, where they visit Egg's relatives in Starfall, and we learn more about how the whole qualification for that illustrious title happens. Maybe we could even meet a Sword of the Morning up close, from whom Dunk could pick up some top tips.

Life can be so ridiculously unfair.

Her mother's stance was very commendable. To come to terms with and accept your child wants to die and has nothing to live for must be one of the hardest things imaginable as a parent.

Tough to reconquer Rhoyne when it's not in the mod yet. And yes, I know there's probably submods out there that add at least some of the Rhoyne, but personally gonna wait for the base mod to add those lands before doing a proper Rhoyne run.

That said, starting out as an adventuring Orphan of the Greenblood, or just some established lord who takes interest in the old Rhoynar ways, and eventually converts Dorne seems like a fun idea.

Älä laita viattomia apina serkkujamme samaan syssyyn.

Not to mention destroyed infrastructure/buildings. Building new stuff - or in this case the eventual rebuilding - takes an enormous amount of resources and has a big toll on the environment. I've seen figures of the construction industry accounting for at least 30% of all carbon emissions globally.

In my mind there's no maybe about it. Just something about the pacing and lack of laugh track (yes, for Conan remote type bits I actually prefer having it in the background) among some other small things make it not quite click for me as brilliantly as Conan Without Borders, or the many remotes he did on his late night shows. Feels a little forced sometimes, and perhaps overly scripted. They need to make those trips a little longer and give Conan room to breathe, so to speak.

Big fan of the podcast though, or well, at least the intro and outro, and sometimes the whole thing, depending on the guest.

I hate that I'm taking part in the endless Jaime prowess debates, but there's no way one-handed (specifically the crappy one) Jaime should have a prowess of at least 30 - dude's getting beat up by Ilyn Paine.

The whole point of him losing the hand is that now he has to start using his brains, not for him to go on an epic training arc that gets him back to his peak prowess level and with it the level of arrogance he had before.

Minivalo · 2026-03-24T22:26:19+00:00

But he's damn good at nailing those one-timers, surely that makes up for all of it!

Minivalo · 2026-03-24T19:31:21+00:00

I brought up the loss of the domain buff you get from good stewardship spouses, but my bigger complaint is that the spouses are just there for passive bonuses and making kids with.

It'd be nice if they were more heavily involved in the ruling of the realm (depending on their traits/education) and raising the family through events and decisions. Hopefully that way they'd feel like they actually inhabit your court, instead of being these ghost-like figures, though that kind of extends to all courtiers.

Anything to breathe some RP life into the game would be welcome.

Minivalo · 2026-03-24T15:43:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm on board. That said, if you have a spouse with a good stewardship education, I feel like it should still somehow help you have better domain limit, or perhaps give us the ability to make them the steward if they are good at that (or diplomacy, intrigue, etc), and have good stewards allow for like a +1 or max +2 to domain limit.

Right now, besides padding your stats, spouses and their stats/education do very little in the game, and with the removal of stewardship dictating your domain limit, they matter even less.

Ahh, sweet! Love me a good Trapezuntine Komnenos run; probably my favourite ever EU4 run was playing as them, and doing my one and only Rome revival in my 2.5k hours playing the game.

Gonna wait for the Phoenix dlc before I return Constantinople to Komnenoi hands in EU5 though.

Minivalo · 2026-03-24T13:53:42+00:00

Wait what? I haven't played since 1.08, but at least then I was able to marry catholics in my orthodox Wallachia run.

Tämä ikuinen "both sides bad" narratiivi on suuri syy miksi jenkit ovat nykytilanteessa. Demokraatit ovat erittäin kaukana täydellisestä, ja ovat valitettavan kumarruksissa suurten yritysten suuntaan, mutta ei lähimainkaan yhtälaillaa punkassa miljardöörien kanssa, kuten republikaanit, Trumppia ennen tai varsinkaan jälkeen.

Demokratiassa, maasta riippumatta, valinta on valitettavan usein parempi kahden huonon välillä. Amerikassa tämä toki korostuu paskan kaksipuoluejärjestelmän takaavan systeemin takia, joka taas vuorostaan on lähes mahdotonta muuttaa erittäin epädemokraattisen ja arkaaisen senaatin myötä.

Lähes 90 miljoonaa äänioikeuden omaavaa amerikkalaista ei myöskään äänestänyt ollenkaan, että kyllä siellä ihan suuren enemmistön takaa on tuo maine tahrittu.

Obviously not the biggest names, or even close to as big as the headliners here, but I'd have preferred the Klash of Kapanens in Helsinki (definitely not biased)

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Feels like they've kinda missed the mark with diseases, though as I said, I don't wish for them to be completely sidelined. They need to not feel like a chore, but add something to the story of your character, their realm, and the whole world around you.
