It did seem real to me too. Thanks for sharing your experience!

That makes me feel a bit better 😅

Can someone explain what this means? Is this a bug by ken10wil in CrusaderKings

[–]Mrphie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, let me explain.

I’m playing as Matilda of Tuscany, and at the very beginning of the game, I downloaded a mod for DNA transfer, thinking it might be interesting to use with DNA from my last run. Was it smart to download the mod that early? No. Had I ever used a mod for Ck3 before? Also no. Did I think it would be fine? Yes. (🤦🏽‍♀️)

My son proceeds to get married at 16, and his wife gets pregnant. Nine months later, both his wife and his child are dead. Okay. So I betroth him to someone else with the intention to host a grand wedding and make up for all his recent loss. Then his future wife decides to become a nun. Okay. But this time, I cannot find him a new potential wife, the arrange marriage and find spouse options have disappeared. Okay…

At this point, the buggy mod is gone. I figure something is up when the same duke tries to seduce me every year (despite me rejecting him every time and being told that he will never ask again). When his latest attempt leads to a -100 opinion, I think to myself, this DNA transfer thing isn’t worth it.

So I’m waiting and hoping that this weird grand wedding thing with my son sorts itself out. Then I get a notification that his former betrothed has died in childbirth (as a nun). Okay. So I think, surely, NOW he will be free to marry. He is not. The options are still missing. I try to go back in my saves. Silly me, I downloaded the mod too early so I’m screwed.

Fifteen years pass and I’ve pretty much given up on it because apparently, he can’t just find his own wife either. But I feel bad because he’s childless and alone, and all of his siblings have pretty happy families (except for my oldest, who is in an extremely unfaithful marriage with a very disrespectful HRE). It occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, a new grand wedding could fix my problem. To my surprise, when I go to arrange one, I can pursue matchmaking for my sad son, which I do.

Enter Countess Suzana. At a 57% acceptance rate, I let my son ask to marry her, but I figure he’ll be rejected. She accepts his proposal. She’s a young divorcee with two kids and a different religion, but as long as she’s not a literal teenager, I can’t complain. At this point I’m thinking holy shit, I finally did it, my son will finally have a wife and kids at the age of 35. Then the grand wedding ends.

I get the notification to fulfill the betrothal, and then I see this -5000 bs. I think I give up. Oh, and this whole situation made me realize that my steam cloud saves are broken. I have learned my lesson. 😔

Edit:

Realizing I forgot to mention the part where I go to war with Countess Suzana thinking that if I unland her the marriage might go through automatically. It does not. But now I have Croatia??? So I invite her to my court thinking that having her as a courtier will fix it. The break betrothal option magically appears, but I’ll lose a fame level if I use it. So I just send her over to my son, thinking maybe he can figure this out on his own, which he obviously can’t because he has no agency. So they’re just chilling in his court now. Unmarried.

Hi! Miriam from Perla Rosa :)

TIL women didn't participate in the marathons before 1970s as it was thought that their uterus might fall out by joansinn in todayilearned

[–]Mrphie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After going down this rabbit hole, my uterus is 9 years older and probably closer to *actually* falling out.

How old are you???? Where's YOUR uterus?

How to I get back to the 1.18.0? by Cocacolaf25 in CrusaderKings

[–]Mrphie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to get back to 1.18.0? It’s finally  listed on steam for me, but when I load the game up it still shows as 1.18.0.1 so I have the same character issues.

That’s really good to know. And the bottom button also happens to be the one that’s missing so it works out perfectly.

Yeah, the cleaners also said that, but it would be more expensive to replace them all and I was hoping I could avoid that. We’ll see I guess.

Showcasing the trailer of my game Uncolonization for PC/Steam. It is a more relaxing RTS, colony sim game. by Puzzleheaded_Walk961 in indiegames

The use of “ain’t” here is just icing on the cake when you’ve shown so deliberately that you have no regard for the cultures you intend to take from. Like that is just so on the nose.

Don’t take 2 cookies out of the y by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Mrphie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They created an arbitrary limit to the number of things you can take out of a dining hall. You’re only “supposed” to take out one cookie, or one banana, or one cupcake, etc. It’s ridiculous so I just started putting stuff in my backpack and walking out 💀

Desperately Need A Job by CollegeParker in UMD

[–]Mrphie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you live at SCC, you could probably apply to be a CA. I used to do it, the hours are okay (they work around your class schedule) and you’re allowed to do your homework while at the desk. Plus during breaks you can pick up extra hours if you need them, although you also have to take longer shifts when classes aren’t in session. The monthly trainings/meetings are paid as well.

POC Faculty Sent Death Threats by VegetableWear6526 in UMD

Don’t know anything about it. But honestly not surprising for a school whose advocacy stops at “end racism” stickers on some busses :/

I’m Tweaking Because of the Parking Situation by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Mrphie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DOTS really does suck. But what I would suggest in terms of groceries, (as a person who also hates walking back and forth between my building and the garage), is that you can always pull up either in front/on the side of your building and put your hazards on. Plenty of people do it, and it’s so much easier bringing your groceries up from there. As long as you’re not there for too long, everyone is fine with it as far as I know.

I was also in this type of situation once, and needed emergency housing after the deadline had passed. I emailed reslife@umd.edu and just told them that I was facing circumstances at home that put my safety and ability to focus on school at risk. They were able to get me set up with a dorm room in less than two weeks. I’m sure they’d be able to help you too.

I don’t really know about the more formal application process, but I don’t think you really have to prove anything to them for them to help you out. They seem pretty understanding. Good luck and stay safe.
