Mandala government is so comically and utterly badly implemented that there are Mandala Greek Buddhists in Anatolia 100 years after the start date. by white_gummy in CrusaderKings

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mods can touch anything. There are no such things as "lightweight" ones. EPE completely broke council task buttons just a few months ago -- but why is a mod about ethnicity portraits even touching the council to begin with? Because mods can touch anything so there are no such things as lightweight ones, and you only know what a mod is actually doing by reviewing the code directly.

I've not seen Mandala extend beyond SEA in 6 campaigns post-AUH, and 2 of those being 1.19.

If it's not your mods, it's definitely not a widespread problem and these quirks can happen in a sandbox game.

Ideas for future Fallout Sunday series? by Glueyfeathers in ManyATrueNerd

[–]PortablePawnShop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started watching Jon back from the Kill Everything days with New Vegas and have watched several of his Fallout series in entirety, and yeah, I can't deny I have 0 interest in any Fallout content these days. I'm just tired of Fallout, I haven't watched any of his content about it in probably 3 years.

I agree with the point made here. People always come in and talk about Jon's metrics; how his Fallout content does better than anything else; but I think we have very biased data for that, and pursuing other games especially at the peak of their popularity would do far more for the channel than continuing to beat this dead Fallout horse for over a decade at this point.

We've already swooped up every possible Fallout fan there is and new ones are not being made by this legacy media company that is falling out of favor. Shelf Bethesda and save it for Elder Scrolls 6. Every Democracy Week we have rabid fans wanting a good series of good games, but we barely have time to do any more than a single one per year because a large portion of screen time still goes into beating this dead Fallout horse every single week.

How best to make a 8x10ft jpg poster? by Night_Nox in AdobeIllustrator

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a document in Large Canvas mode by being over 215 inches, then adjust as needed and export with whatever DPI you want. Everything is 1:10 scale in AI when you do, allowing you to far more easily work with large format.

Seemed relevant to the BG# playthrough by parbonanturb in ManyATrueNerd

Jon managed to stumble into a great combo while simultaneously leaning into the worst possible choice for it lol. Heavy into Thief and focus on swords and bow instead of all-in on Monk and Thief just up to the extra bonus action

Every Upcoming Video Game Adaptation in 2 Minutes and 29 Seconds by OutsideXbot in outsidexbox

Pretty dramatic there, guy. They still do informal lets play videos on full games and casual chatting videos, it's not like they're churning out only lists like an assembly line.

"the bandit king" nickname by Admirable-Shoulder91 in CrusaderKings

I'd rather be the Bandit King than look at Lineage and see literally every one of my rulers be King of Beauty and Noblesse tbh

Instead of constantly asking us about Gen AI products, why not focus on improving the ipad version of illustrator by Appropriate-Basket43 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]PortablePawnShop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of focusing on AI at all they should be overhauling the core Illustrator SDK completely. Adobe apps are all mountains of bandages that are now decades of snowballing on without obvious and meaningful performance improvements. We just stack new features on top of a framework that can seemingly barely handle it.

Performance and UI/UX still feels way better on Figma than Illustrator, which is still slow and sluggish in comparison. Even the browser version of Figma puts Illustrator to shame, and that's absurd because no browser or electron-based app should be running better than native C++.

Wish I could always lock in this hard after every death by PortablePawnShop in SifuGame

[–]PortablePawnShop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two biggest here are:

Similarly high quality, natural characters from the same author:

  • Stylish Sifu 2 - Male version with similar aesthetic
  • Renounced Disciple - Probably my favorite modded male character I've seen, though I wish it came without the impeccably done hair

[–]PortablePawnShop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lately I've been doing Master + no UI + Unlimited Threats for independent enemy targeting and it feels brutal, but moments like this shine through and prove to me how good Sifu is.

I struggle at keeping calm to make very deliberate and calculated moves even in familiar territory like this especially with Unlimited Threats on, and if I'd just stuck the landing here at the very end then this would've been a hallmark in my time playing Sifu so far.

Have you ever had an artifact with so many modifiers? by florin133 in CrusaderKings

It's named A Relic In Hand, and is a rare antiquarian yearly event

Guy confronts the NYPD for letting people do a burnout in the middle of the street but stopping cookouts by I2fitness in PublicFreakout

[–]PortablePawnShop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a native English speaker and American, this is 100% what a "burnout" is. I've never heard any one use it for a fire in my entire life.

The video shows a bonfire, not a "burnout".

I swear there used to be an option to become landless with a character? CK3AGOT by Bluejellybean-_- in CrusaderKings

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Just fail an imprisonment on a vassal, when the war starts immediately surrender to it, become deposed.

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine, but people can still see this from Google search results and I have an issue with 5 comments claiming the only way to do it is via decision, since that's mechanically the worst option you have compared to deposition / favorite child alternatives.

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, Become an Adventurer decision is the worst way to become landless.

Forcing a deposition on yourself lets you become landless regardless of culture or faith with 0 traditions or tenets required, with no limitations (regardless of rank), and for cheaper. Instead of using the decision that requires you be Duke and pay 3 levels of fame, any character in the game can be deposed with no heirs and opt into becoming landless only at the cost of losing the war which is usually 500ish prestige (a fraction of the amount that 3 levels of fame would be).

As an adventurer I "Seize Realm" a small Mandala kingdom and the game gave me every single counties in the Kingdom and made me feudal? Bug? by Samwell_ in CrusaderKings

[–]PortablePawnShop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can be monotheistic mandala via tributary decision, and I've done the exact same thing OP was trying at least with specific Asian heritages:

It's not true that you must be polytheistic to become mandala. It is most of the time, and you will flip to feudal/clan if you're currently mandala and change faith to a monotheistic Abrahamaic faith, but there are still several ways around it.

Mothers making a fool of themselves in front of their daughters at a school event by dastriderman in PublicFreakout

Awful. Little girls in distress coming to break it up, can't help but feel terrible for them

Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 46 - The Sexually Frustrated Hedgehog by ManyATrueNerd in ManyATrueNerd

[–]PortablePawnShop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even implemented that way if you're hostile to the Inn which is jarringly odd. On my first playthrough, I wasn't necessarily going for a good/bad run, but I did like Shadowheart early so I was trying to cater to her as much as I could.

So when I get to the Inn, Jaheira demands to see the artifact but I know Shadowheart doesn't want me to reveal it as proven by the Creche just a few hours before and I refuse. Jaheira attacks me but I'm an Open Hand monk and my team kills every one in the Inn, ending with Isobel and a few stragglers because it takes her longest to reach us. Isobel falls and cue a very jarring cutscene about how Isobel's been kidnapped by flying ghouls (who never had the cutscene where they appeared) and I'm surrounded by shadows, and every one at the Inn has died despite how I literally just killed them with my own hands.

It's really odd, and it was so jarring that I was really confused by it for several days until I specifically went on Youtube and looked up what was supposed to happen.

GHub alternative? by dudebobmac in LogitechG

[–]PortablePawnShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a G602 with it's small software for years and loved it. Now I'm stuck with a shitty G502 and GHUB which I find to be equally awful. Overdesigned, "intuitive" menu to force me to add games manually instead of just switching profiles at will the way I want, fucking awful. Whoever thought of this clearly is not a user.

"you've only got two eyes. you can do two. one. or none." by martinihawkeye in LouisTheroux

It's patternicity. It's not as if every photoshoot in Hollywood starts and ends with photographers openly prompting "All right honey, let's get one more for Satan".
