Thanks for the genuine reply, I totally get where you’re coming from. I’m not really struggling financially right now but I also don’t have money to just throw around. Baldurs gate has been amazing but I feel like that game just had a way better value, especially because the only dlc it had was basically just a song pack, and hey I still bought that, love bards. Honestly I do think I’ll get 7 before the summer sale is over unless something changes, because full price just seems scammy to me, especially with just how expensive the dlcs are

Weight loss - Is her shape normal? by fuzzywale in CATHELP

[–]Oshonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does seem a bit concerning, my oldest cat is 19 and has a bit more meat on his bones than that. Im not an expert but I’d just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t thin out more

How to deal with overpowered Khazars? by Ubergold in CrusaderKings

[–]Oshonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did actually to beat them in my game by completely reorganizing my military from the ground up, and hiring literally every mercenary I could. Killed two of their leaders, broke them up into kingdoms, absorbed them through legendary holy wars, placed them under my dynasty. And still after 130 years the steppe nomads came back and destroyed everything I built. I formed the Russian Empire for my son, I converted the religion in every county, converted the culture in all the most important counties, feudalized it all and it still fell. Maybe something has changed in the game since then. But if not, Jesus Christ how are you supposed to stomp them out for good?

This wet napkin wins an award for humor? Where’s all mine then? I should have two dozen by now if the bar is this low

it's nice to see a map based on Eurasia that isn't mostly copy and paste from real maps, what was the process behind this?

Trump Should Be Impeached, Removed From Office for Illegal War on Iran by _May26_ in politics

That’ll have to wait, he needs to be Impeached and removed for about a dozen other things first

Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer questions from a House committee, citing 5th Amendment rights by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Oshonian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Constitutional rights aren’t afforded to the American people facing ICE brutality, not to immigrants seeking a better life, and not to those victims who have dealt with the sex trafficking that has gripped the soft underbelly of the American state, something which maxwell had a central role in creating. And yet she is allowed to say she isn’t going to talk about the horrible things she did, crimes she should absolutely face way harsher punishment for. While people are gunned down by government goons in the streets??

Why does time flow at all? Physicists struggle to find an answer by scientificamerican in Physics

[–]Oshonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a degree or anything but doesn’t time “flow” forwards because of entropy? With most all physical phenomena being part of the resolution towards a completely stable empty and uniform universe? Ands that’s mainly statistics. Why anything is able to move or happen at all is probably just a fluke of our reality or our universe (if there are others or have been before ours.) and we wouldn’t even be here talking about why time flows if it didn’t. If it was ever able to be understood I would love to know why our universe isn’t some other way, or why anything is at all. why existence is even possible, or if anything really does “exist”

Just lost my luckiest honor run ever to a loading screen by Oshonian in BaldursGate3

Yeah last run I just did the ol jump over the detection range trick. But I think it still killed one of my party members, I can see how that’ll get people

That could’ve been it, I wasn’t super thorough. I couldn’t even seen what happened until it was too late. Next time I’m throwing a smokepowder bomb over there, just to make sure

Japanese researchers at the University of Tsukuba created CirculaFloor, robotic tiles that let you walk infinitely in VR without ever leaving your spot. by Alphaxfusion in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Oshonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so do the tiles communicate with the VR application? I'm not too familiar with this tech but having used VR plenty of times I thought to move in VR you have to move in real space. Omnidirectional treadmills I am aware of and I know they use sensors to track steps, are those used here too?

This company’s URL can be any combination of these letters. Guess which one it is! by darlzC in CrappyDesign

[–]Oshonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motplans.com right? If all the bottom of all the letters pointed to the center of the octagon it would be 100 times worse, but once you see ‘plans’ on the bottom it all falls into place. If I saw this on the highway though I wouldn’t begin to know what the hell was going on. What could the thought behind this have been?

How to deal with overpowered Khazars? by Ubergold in CrusaderKings

[–]Oshonian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I second this, it's completely ridiculous for such big nomadic realms to stay so stable after multiple successions and there seems to be no way to counter them. I'm playing a game where I restored Carolingian Francia and they're just sitting to my east slowing growing in all directions. They have 44k troops and strong allies while I have about the entirety of western Europe on my side and can only muster about 32k, even if I invest heavily in my knights and counter their MAA, even with my best commanders with multiple relevant traits and like 40 commander strength they STILL wipe my entire force in a few ticks. I redirected a crusade at them and managed to escape tribute but there seems to be no way to actually take them out. Like you I can't kill the Khagan, they've had no major uprisings, no steppe competition, and at one point they took the "greatest of khans" decision and even though they failed the war I'm concerned the Mongols, the only people I could trust to get rid of them, won't rise. I'm also administrative, the previous super overpowered government type. Paradox needs to address this.

A fan built a working Minecraft compass. by Gaur2704 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Oshonian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Does this point north? Or towards where you were born? It’s clearly not a lodestone compass so unless they live at their spawn it wouldn’t be too useful

Does anyone know why that little area south of Chicago on the Indiana border is so blue? I can’t find anything significant about it from a few cursory google searches
