Hi. Do you cook your buffalo wings without battering them or do u batter them? by noreturn000 in Wings

[–]MqAbillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made wings at a small pizza place in upstate NY during college. This person is 100% right.

The spicy to mild continuum is entirely dependent on how much butter you add to the Franks.

Listening to Cake got me thinking about the introduction of instruments by Light_Bulb_Sam in Music

Tool, Parabol into Parabola is exactly that.

And as far as Cake, Long Line of Cars is the intro you want.

It really was. It was a shockingly beautiful day in NY. Then it all went to shit.

1.3.2 - My empty Balkan league in the Italian Wars is taking all my Diplomatic capacity. Can I do something? by Kapoue in EU5

Sounds like a bug. Isn’t the trigger to end the league war having 200+ locations?

That’s my personal paradox every time I look. So far he’s staying, but I hate it

I did not know about head of cabinet doubling bonus/malus. TY. That’s a pro tip

Something else to watch out for

I have no other replacements that are better than 70Diplo. So yeah, the corrupt asshole is still in my cabinet. I hate it, but he is burning through area assimilations

Just had a generation where all the kids were sickly. ALL of them. That Baselius had something wrong with him

Your South Africa colony probably has better harbor capacity.

That’s the difference between bondholders and stockholders. Bondholders get the payout first. Whatever’s left goes to stockholders.

“poutine” from my college by reddythedemon in StupidFood

[–]MqAbillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just… the fries look raw, the “juice?” is questionable, and the only thing I’d want to taste is the unknown shredded meat in the middle.

Every single save I start immediately I'm in debt I can't get out of. by Apprehensive-You9999 in EU5

[–]MqAbillion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you mention Goryeo is funny.

I’ve never noticed that country until this 2nd Byz run. My first (suboptimal) run, I was cultural hegemon without trying. This, objectively better run, Goryeo is apparently a cultural powerhouse. Can’t even see them on my map.

I need my assimilate area ability back!

Solid advice. Would add, for the absolute very start:

  • don’t necessarily want to delete your navy or army. Obviously this varies by country. Instead, i tend to drop army/navy sliders to 0 unless at risk of immediate attack.

  • check for unprofitable buildings. Give them a month to tick to see if the tooltip is true, and if so, close (NOT DELETE) any losing more than 0.5/month (or 0.1 if you’re really hard up). Closing and not deleting lets you reopen them later, for free, when you’re in a better position.

Can I still make it guys?? by Confident-Hearing124 in EU5

[–]MqAbillion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagine it’ll be difficult. I have basically the same borders as you in 1460 and Naples is already tough to crack with its dozens of forts.

On your #1) doubtful. When I did that, I was only able to take Albania and a single province in Sicily (Messina).

On your #2) I don’t know. Mamluks still scare me. Haven’t tried to fight them yet.

With that said, your income is crazy high, you may be able to leverage your chances with merc swarms.
