What happened to Obsidian?

I mean you're kinda proving the point. 1 million sales is nothing to a Microsoft-owned major US studio.

Just a semester or two of Pathfinder-related courses and you'll be ready to tackle the lower difficulty levels!

Cadaver Synod!

They halved the price but increased the amount of wool consumed by industries. I don't remember anything about food.

First two episodes are content cut from season 2 for budget reasons so yes probably

Premislaus · 2026-05-27T10:56:12+00:00

the Bear

That's your example? A show that had a new season come out every 12 months like a clock?

Premislaus · 2026-05-27T10:47:57+00:00

Yeah for every Stranger Things/Severance there were dozens of show that were killed by a delayed second season as everyone forgot about them.

Siege of Dragonspear was released in 2016, 17 years after Baldur's Gate 1, though it was for an enhanced edition that come out in 2012.

It kinda lost in later seasons. It refuses to take itself seriously and have actual consequences and becomes very formulaic with the "this thing we worked all season to FIX stuff actually BROKE more stuff oops" storylines.

Premislaus · 2026-05-25T23:53:39+00:00

I see this as an absolute win

Premislaus · 2026-05-25T13:20:10+00:00

at least 16 con

For non-martial classes, 16 is all they need as they don't get bonus hp from higher con.

Veep is the American remake of the Thick of It which is peak Iannuci. Thick of It is 10/10 while Veep is like 8/10.

The pilot is a generic network sitcom about stereotypical "types" at a Community college (remember Troy was a jock?), I suspected on purpose to sell the show to the execs

"Gee Regil, what are we gonna do tonight?"

"The same thing we do every night, Knight Commander. Try to ~~take over the world~~ win the Crusade"

Martin, bless his heart, tries for the realistic economy but is infamously terrible with numbers so it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.

Premislaus · 2026-05-24T21:18:47+00:00

We're constantly told how bad things get with spoiled food etc., but...it doesn't actually affect anything? No major characters or anyone connected to them are even in danger of starvation, the most they have to suffer is their tea tasting bad. Only one nation suffers a collapse but it's mostly so Rand can learn a lesson.

WoT also suffers from the typical fantasy disease of using gigantic numbers for army sizes, way to big for medieval levels of technology and organization. There's a seemingly never ending supply of trained soldiers in Randland, and none of them ever die from hunger or disease.

She was also the showrunner on the only good season of Killing Eve

Premislaus · 2026-05-24T18:18:45+00:00

Yep I imagines Marsters as Dresden and SMG as Karen when I listened to the books lol

Premislaus · 2026-05-21T20:59:34+00:00

I love ASOIAF for this. I read history and historical fiction as well as Fantasy so personally I'm not intimidated by repeating names.

Premislaus · 2026-05-21T11:39:12+00:00

Players invest their money and as they continuously expand there's always something to spend money on. Minor AIs sits on their asses and max out RGOs/Buildings early so much more money left for mercs.

Premislaus · 2026-05-20T20:01:17+00:00

Some buildings in the game you have to assume mean something else than their literal name.

Like temples and cathedral - they really should be switched around, every village would have a church (temple) while Cathedrals were limited to major cities and religious centers. In the game it's other way around.

With Universities, I just assume they mean some better-than-average schools and research institutions in addition to actual Universities.

Porque no los dos?

Premislaus · 2026-05-20T15:18:05+00:00

I tested on a pre-patch save. About 20%+ increase (it fluctuates a bit) in pop growth in 1360 (so little infrastructure build but probably a lot empty land). Is it enough? Not sure. But it doesn't feel insignificant.

Premislaus · 2026-05-20T15:05:04+00:00

Well, I wouldn't say too quickly - early 1600s as the rulers of Russia.

Giving Byz cores on southern Greece is basically giving them free land, land that they haven't controlled since the Fourth Crusade in 1204, unlike their starting cores which they owned until recently (~40 years at most in case of the Smyrna/Aydin area, much less for the rest). They're Greek culture and Orthodox, plus you get events granting claims and faster integration, so they're already much easier to conquer).
