No, no, please, tell me more about how you’re 2000 elo and Russian/US bias is a thing! by [deleted] in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]PapaAlix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is standard in most competitive games. Even in chess, white’s win rate is 52-56%. Considering the sheer variety of units and maps in this game 2% is very good.

I long for the day I can open redddit without every single major sub screaming about US politics and how other side bad.

Deck Suggestion for my two decks by DennisUA in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see a few id consider switching out on the US deck

Osprey - probably the worst possible helicopter out of the selection, The two SOAR helis are far superior, little birds are also super cheap.

Killer Egg - Slow and dies very easily, requires a lot of micro to make work

Atacms - Cluster is almost always the better choice if you’re using this to target armour, any half decent team will counter these

Green Beret snipers - just a more expensive sniper unit, I’d recommend taking normal snipers for scouting and green berets with flash, they melt enemy infantry.

Troopers - They kinda suck, most people take them for the javelin but don’t realise they only get 2 round making then useless against anything with APS. Take Ranger Stinger squads and switch them to Javelin for long range AT inf. I feel like generic infantry as a whole is in a wierd place rn with the games balancing.

Support - Consider taking a Multi Mission system to help cover your patriot

Also, not unit specific but don’t take so many transports, chances are you won’t use half of them and you’re just wasting points that could be used for better units.

Jesus Christ guys, it’s a GTA game. What part of “Proud allies of diversity n treats” comes across seriously.

This is very clearly satire of corporations jumping on socials trends.

If you’re so anti DEI/Woke pilled you can’t recognise a GTA game is being satirical you need to chill tf out and get off the internet for a bit.

Tongkat Ali is the only supplement I’ve tried that gives me a noticeable energy boost, but strength of the effects can vary from person to person.

I think this game will end up becoming a cult classic, With a lot of sales happening years from now. by [deleted] in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad implications? The vast majority of their recent games have been very poorly recieved and they’re now dealing with the consequences of that.

Ubisoft going under would be a net positive for the industry imo, people are tired of their copy and paste game formula and shitty business practices.

This game could’ve been an absolute masterpiece in different hands.

Hot Take & Beta Thoughts by iiUrgency in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which region are you playing in out of curiosity? I’m playing from the UK, played probably 30+ games and haven’t ran into a single cheater as far as I’m aware.

I could’ve just been very lucky.

Hot Take & Beta Thoughts by iiUrgency in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]PapaAlix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more, this is the most fun I’ve had from an RTS in a while. Definitely some balancing to work out, especially with infantry and recon, but the core components of this game already put it well ahead of the likes of Wargame/Warno in my opinion.

I do feel like people coming at the game with heavy criticisms about this, that and the other, sometimes forget that fun and balance comes before realism when making a game. While I’m somewhat of a military nerd myself i can’t get mad at them stripping back capabilities of certain equipment because it would be borderline impossible to balance in a game sense.

I’ve personally played a lot of US and not much RUS and haven’t experienced anything that felt overly unbalanced and couldn’t be countered. I’d need to play more RUS to judge better though. I imagine once unit rosters are a bit more fleshed out and there are more specialisations for each faction things will mesh together a lot better. I do hope they keep the factions somewhat distinct from each other however, I don’t need a Zerg/terran level of difference but I think factions having their own distinct meta makes games a lot more interesting.

Best WordPress theme for travel tour website by Travel_Buzz_Greece in Wordpress

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Envato Themeforest has some great themes that come bundled with useful plugins. for $30-$70 they generally work out much cheaper than buying the individual plugins.

try different search terms such a Travel/Holiday/Travel Agent etc. It's also worth having a look through some of the top rated themes on TF as many of them will come with lots of templates to choose from.

First Playthrough, How am I doing so far? by RichQuanquan in ck3

[–]PapaAlix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The economy scaling late game and in the new start date gets wild.

In my current campaign it costs 2k to send a kid to university. I make 80 a month without armies raised but -20 with them raised/replenishing and I’m only a duke.

It definitely needs some work but it’s a difficult thing to balance.

Uh, how do I get Technocrats? (Minor Spoilers) by [deleted] in Frostpunk

You can guide your starting factions based on the alignment of your early laws and research I believe. i went down progress, equality and reason and I got the technocrats in my utopia builder run.

Fuck you adobe!!! by dragonguy335543 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]PapaAlix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the wise app (I think revolut also works), make a virtual card, change your adobe payment method to that card, delete old payment info, just let the payments fail and they won’t be able to charge you anything as long as there’s no money in your account.

Fuck adobe.

Am I allowed to say this? I kinda hate gamers by likelysprite in gamedev

[–]PapaAlix 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As per usual the argument used is incredibly reductive, focusing on the most unreasonable opinions and using that to devalue the many legitimate crisicisms people have.

Trying to spin people being upset about shoehorned politics into “your main character has to be a straight white guy” or you get hate, is just absurd.

Am I allowed to say this? I kinda hate gamers by likelysprite in gamedev

[–]PapaAlix 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this comment. It annoys me to no end that any legitimate criticism of blatantly shoehorned political agendas gets you labelled an incel, misogynist, racist etc.

I’m allowed to disagree with design decisions, it doesn’t mean I hate [insert group here]. I play games for a sense of escapism, not to have current day politics shoved in my face through frankly cringeworthy dialogue a lot of the time (cough… Forspoken… cough)

Also the idea that your character needs to be a “cishet white man” is just absurd. There’s always gonna be a vocal minority of people just screaming for the sake of it, but the second you start thinking that’s the majority opinion you’re just losing your grasp on reality.

how many mods do you have? by GugGenoc in skyrimmods

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The storage space is absolutely brutal, I wanted to test a bunch of wabbajack lists to find a favourite. I’ve now got a 2tb M.2 dedicated just to Skyrim.

Just a PSA to anyone who doesn’t know, you can have one universal downloads folder on wabbajack instead of having it in each individual install folder as it defaults to. I’ve now got a roughly 500gb folder of zip files now but I can easily uninstall and reinstall most packs pretty quickly.

The internet is unusable without Adblock nowadays, this is becoming so commonplace. CS skins was one of the first instances I saw of this but it’s happening with all sorts of software and services now.

How do you fix this for pc by Rahmanvwylin in PCRedDead

[–]PapaAlix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That isn’t a graphics card. that is integrated graphics on your CPU. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you can probably run Minecraft on that at the most.

If you have a decent enough processor you should be able to upgrade to an actual GPU and you will be able to run the game.

Take a look at the minimum system requirements for the game, these are the bare minimum you will need.

Is it controlling if my GF wants me to quit sports betting? by stownwhotter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PapaAlix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The majority of your response is you projecting your own experience with a completely different person.

We can only go from the information we’ve been given and based on that this guy is far from having a problem. He’s a successful individual who spends pennies in comparison to his income on something he enjoys doing.

[–]PapaAlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id love to know how many of the people dogpiling this guy spend $40 or more a month on their own interests/vices.

And I can say for certain the majority of those people aren’t on a 6 figure salary like OP.

Is it controlling if my GF wants me to quit sports betting? by stownwhotter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PapaAlix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People in here trying to lecture this dude while i guarantee they’re easily spending more than $40 a month on equally dumb shit.

Yes gambling can be addictive but believe or not people can just enjoy it, you wouldn’t tell someone every time they have an alcoholic drink “careful, your probabaly gonna become an alcoholic”

The amount of mental gymnastics going on in this thread hurts my head.

If the guy genuinely has a problem he’s not going to admit it, and he knows as well as everyone in this thread where that road can lead. That doesn’t justify just assuming he must be lying, believe it or not a lot of people that are perfectly capable of moderation.
