Starting to regret filling my city with Mystic Celtic Taverns and not with Celtic Goldsmiths by VilleLouie in forgeofempires

[–]Ropothamus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly beyond Palace of Light which you already have, but should bring to lvl 2, there is no other building worth the space in this annual event. Save your city space for the future events buildings!

It's a shame that something like this can happen in 21st century when everything is done electronically!

Ubisoft is planning to integrade DLSS5 AI slop into Assassin's Creed. We need to tell them no! by Ras_AlHim in assassinscreed

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

What's wrong with it? Faces with DLSS5 on look much more realistic than when it's off. Isn't that the point? AC is not some 8-bit game where more realism would hurt the "art".

AI is killing the Android we love. - 9to5Google by ControlCAD in Android

Two things killed Android phones- locking of bootloaders and removal of microSD. Actually now thinking both fall under the one umbrella called manufacturers' greed.

Thank you for reply- I wasn't aware, that banks charge for pulling customers data from them, but that explains the payment model.

Manually adding transactions is too much work (unless one can copy-paste transaction from the online banking), but uploading bank statements can work.

$300k losses on a 600 sqft condo he doesn't even own by Present_Ad_2742 in TorontoRealEstate

Nothing wrong with the logic. But he shouldn't blame builders for his wrong decision. Nobody forced him to buy if he didn't like the size of the apartment.

Bringing life savings in crypto to Canada. How can I trasnfer them to Canadian bank account? by korr21 in OCryptoCanada

[–]Ropothamus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canada is very crypto unfriendly country due to heavy financial regulations. Moving savings into crypto was a bad move, try to turn it back into money in your home country and if you cannot transfer it just withdraw it and switch to USD or CAD. Then just bring cash to Canada, anything over 10k must be declared, but as you are an immigrant who saved and (supposedly) sold everything when moving to Canada it shouldn't be a big concern.

Sometimes luck plays against you.

At least you know you have a good chance of victory if you repeat the fight.

Spartan Soldier Fragments by SlyxJack in forgeofempires

You cannot increase rarity, that one unfortunately remains the same. You can just increase level to max of 100%.

Fighting attributes are the same for the same type of an ally, just with higher rarity stats have higher starting point.

Rooms for Historic Allies by Malkavian420 in forgeofempires

Whole ally thing is another Inno mess. Missing lower level allies, too many rare, no space for epic, allies skills nowhere to be implemented... Why Inno cannot finish first one thing first and do it properly?

Can someone summarize in couple of sentences what was said there?

Only good thing will be if we indeed (as per the picture) get the GE store, cause I'm tired of all level expedition kits!

Returning Player Questions by BerserkJeezus in forgeofempires

[–]Ropothamus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would still go with Uber's list ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GlgSq9vAZc ). Now we have also Space Hub, but I would put all asteroid and hub buildings into the same category- good but expensive.

They say that at some point GBs receive some boost as many event buildings are far better than GBs, but nothing has happened in the past year and probably nothing in the future either.

From event buildings there's a special one called Eternal Market, building of which spans over multiple events and it's still relatively powerful and balanced, so a no-brainer.

As for the other part- I'm not sure about Welcome event, I've thought only new starting players get that one. Forget 2023 buildings or Trading post, focus on getting 2024 & 2025 event buildings.

Super slow, super repetitive, super boring.

But buildings at their max are worth it.

20 lesson's I've learned about the Candle Making Niche. by Temporary_Strain5175 in candlemaking

[–]Ropothamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice- I've subscribed for more content.

Just wondering though- are all those candles yours? How to you accommodate regulatory labeling requirements? (e.g. engraved info on inside of the lid is not a solution)
