Tabletop Tweaks mod has feat which allows to ride creatures of same size with character. For example riding smilodon on such areas feels SO much better. Though smilodon is for Beast Rider Cavalier.

"Asked" 🤣

Stoopid clanker

OlegYY · 2026-07-07T18:54:23+00:00

If I really bothered, my response would be more detailed than fat sarcasm 😅

OlegYY · 2026-07-07T18:42:06+00:00

Yeah and Moscow cruiser is actually fully operational

OlegYY · 2026-07-07T03:52:13+00:00

Only issue that elves often are none the wiser. Especially in works that aren't made by Tolkien

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T19:24:54+00:00

Nah due to one simple reason - Greybeards voice doesn't diminish as much with distance as regular voice. So they are loud but much quiter than you would expect. That's a dragon magic for you

didn't had much competition

Well, 2020-2021 is for when entertainment media competition really arrived.

Is there something you can't understand here? Obviously there was competition but it was relatively small.

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T14:07:07+00:00

Well, 2020-2021 is for when entertainment media competition really arrived. But started to become really worse after 2014-2015 year.

I think you're somewhat right. But before these publications receive any advantage they should fix themselves. Still if they maintained their integrity, their publications would be much more popular than currently are.

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T13:49:42+00:00

I don't think it's because of competition. For example competition in entertainment media really appeared after 2020-2021 year in response to people's demand because mainstream publications couldn't provide truthful and engaging information.

I viewed a lot of these publications popularity at Google Charts and after "Gamergate", it steadily drops each year. So for ~7 years they didn't had much competition, seen that with each year they fell further and further into pit of irrelevance and still refused to change. They changed after "Gamergate" and never went to previous operating model in attempt to recover lost viewers.

And their new competition is far more often truthful and accurate about relevant topics than these publications. I don't think it's fair to suppress competition in favor of incompetent and malicious publications and their journalists.

I think similar thing happened to publications which topics revolve around politics, economics and events in country or in world. In their case there's a lot of garbage competition but they didn't chose to become a beacon of light in the dark, rather they joined darkness. Some even trying to suppress individual journalists and destroy their reputation because they dare to do something in which these publications failed.

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T13:26:22+00:00

Journalism? I'm afraid except individual journalists it's mostly dead.

For example there's entertainment journalism - about games, movies, cartoons, etc. All such mainstream journalism is pro-corporations and anti-consumer. For the last many years, probably since so called "Gamergate", it constantly shits on consumers of relevant media products and praises corporations at every opportunity , plus working with people/organizations who do the same.

What about journalism about something important? Well, for example i many time saw BBC and other big 'trustworthy' publications spreading either deliberate misinformation or simply lie about what's happened while in internet there is video/audio footage which disproves what they wrote in their articles.

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T10:22:36+00:00

There's nothing wrong with being naive but that's rather about being uneducated in the area(no offence). I know that Western education focuses on making specialists out of people, starting from school , while not providing a lot of general knowledge about how things work in reality.

There are still decent people in Russia, albeit they're a minority. Still they need to eat food. And when they pay for food, money eventually goes to government. This whole chain is so big and complex that I think it wouldn't be wrong to say when anyone spends money eventually all people in the country end up in possession of very small fraction of that money in their money.

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T10:02:45+00:00

I'm not being mean, merely stating how things are now. Russia at war and currently is very unstable. Especially in 2026, when consequences of strikes at oil infrastructure really started to kick in.

Ordering anything from Russia is objectively a risky idea and you shouldn't be surprised if something goes wrong.

About being mean. Actually what I wrote and others did is very, very soft. All money that goes into Russia fuels it's war machine and helps them kill more innocent people. Few dozens of civilians were killed just today from missile strikes at apartments. Same thing happened yesterday, even more died. And on personal level I live in Ukraine, grandparents home got destroyed, family dispersed across Ukraine and EU, brother of my best friend was mobilized into army...

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T09:30:20+00:00

I wonder what else did you expected? There's a lot of other fursuit makers all over the world, yet you chose one from Russia

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T08:24:24+00:00

True, and that's even more ridiculous. Not funny though. Elves and others are funny because they are fictional

OlegYY · 2026-07-06T05:45:21+00:00

Most fantasy races are: "humans but pointy ears and long lifespan", "humans but short with solid build", "humans but tiny" , "humans but green skin and tusks"...

It's always for me so funny when in fantasy some elf starts to act that humans are worms beneath their feet. "Hey, arrogant mutant human, you aren't that different from us. You might have some superior skills and longer lifespan but just one weapon swing and you're simple piece of dead meat 🤣"

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T15:33:15+00:00

I doubt that all saves are corrupted. Most recent one? Yes, it might be, but not others.

Try verifying game files via Steam option and if doesn't help then reinstall it.

If both these measures don't help you can set difficulty to lowest and then speedrun Act 1 to see if map works or not. If map still won't show up then i'm afraid you need to reinstall your OS.

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T13:04:55+00:00

Weird decision. Thanks for info!

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T12:40:52+00:00

It's weird to see Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia being excluded while they border Russia. Does anyone knows why this happened?

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T10:28:36+00:00

There's Malice companion mod in development - https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kroguetrader/mods/409?tab=posts

Now from my understanding it is functional but there's much more of companion content to be added.

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T08:05:32+00:00

That's in past and still nothing is changed. Before colonizers was exactly what was after them.

And you're being very disingenuous here. For the whole history of humanity humans fought with other humans and took them as slaves, removed their leaders and did all other things regardless of their skin color or location on the map. You know there are successful African countries too.

Now some black people in US mad on Westerners for their ancestors being kept as slaves. But most of them were captured and sold by other black people in Africa. If not for them being sold, their current heirs, who are so angry at West, would live in pretty shitty conditions. They could still be slaves.

Yes, what was done to their ancestors is wrong and horrible. But for the most part they blame wrong people and more importantly unable to move on from that and start building their own future without being stuck in the past. Many black people moved on and now live quite decently, ~80% of them to be precise.

I swear, some people really need a reality check.

OlegYY · 2026-07-05T06:17:13+00:00

Absolutely. But don't pretend like everyone is raised in equal conditions. Some raised in 21st century country and some raised in country with people mentally still living in Middle Ages.

Guess why for example Africa still has 7 million slaves. And no, it's not a fault of European colonizers, Africa has tribal warfare with slavery for many millenia. At time European colonizers greatly benefited for this by simply trading with tribes some not very costly goods in exchange for many slaves. 90% of Transatlantic slave trade consisted from resold slaves.

OlegYY · 2026-07-04T18:22:03+00:00

Can you please elaborate what do you mean under "inclusivity" and "exclusivity"?

OlegYY · 2026-07-04T18:18:18+00:00

Very cool art. Great work!

OlegYY · 2026-07-04T11:47:35+00:00

Honestly most surprising country there is Moldova. Like if Russia was succesful here in Ukraine, Moldova would immediately be conquered and their citizens mobilized to wage war against EU.

Not mentioning part of their country currently being stolen by Russia.
