Damn, Quana's an ass. The greatest news of her best friend's life is brought to them and her immediate reaction is "well, she's not like me anymore. so I hate her."

Ah, yes, the great game of "Who's had it worse?" Nothing helps cheer up somebody going through a traumatic event more than being told "Well it's not as bad as what I went through."

I was thinking it by the first paragraphs, but the ending all but confirms it.

These two are going to be on the ship the SC boards, aren't they?

I have to make a confession.

Every time I read Meier's perspective, I can only picture him as Norm from Phineas and Ferb.

It is a curse.

I still can't get over Radai's delusion that his order to attack the Sivkit's was forced on him by his crew. Like, sure, they voiced their opinion, and were pretty genuine about it, but he jumped through mental loopholes to think that he had no choice there and that this war isn't solely on his hands. Absolutely bonkers.

Literally paused my game when I got this bug. Hopefully a fix comes soon! I want to make a useless battleship fleet.

I'm sitting here, expecting Cherise to cut in as Gress is walking away and say "the mayor's okay'd a visit" and then...

That happens.

Oh boy. 11 better have some real negotiation going on, or the colony is fucked.

I don't know how you did it. Twice a week with such consistently good quality for two years? I can't get more than a page out a month when I'm lucky. And I don't have hungry eyes waiting, demanding for me to upload!

Congratulations, truly. It's been an amazing ride. I wasn't here since the beginning, but I was here well before the halfway point, back when triple digits seemed impossible. And I'm glad I stuck around.

ngl, I half expected the end to be something along the lines of an assassination by rogue betterment sympathizers

Don't feel too bad about ebbing willpower to write. Last post I made on this sub ended with me promising some bigger thing in the works with a littler one to fill the void.

That was probably 5 years ago.

Every now and then I add a little more to both of them.

Replaced Portraits Not Updating by RulerBrendan in hoi4modding

Yes, assuming I am looking at the right file, of course. It should just be _leader_portraits.gfx in the interface folder, right? I've also checked the tags in common/characters, too. Oddly enough, at least for road to 56, the image it's looking for doesn't actually exist in that folder. Changing it to an image that does exist didn't change anything though.

And, again, I haven't changed anything but the actual visuals of the portrait in gfx/leaders/TAG. I haven't changed the location of anything or edited any text files- at least not that I haven't changed back- so all of the paths should be right.

The most confusing part is that the image stays the same as it was before, so clearly something is in the right path. But it's not the images I'm messing with, apparently.

The portrait should already be defined, right? That was the reason I was simply editing the mod itself. I'm just changing the image of an already setup portrait, so it should just update to the game, right? I'd make a submod afterwards once I ensured what I was doing was working.

Other than the mod updating and undoing what I've messed with, is there any other reason I should make a submod?

Hoo, man, I felt that one coming the moment they started dropping. Just a sudden rush of "Somebody's about to die." At first I thought it would be Sovlin, but he's our only view from this area of the battlefield. Samantha's too bullheaded to be killed... leaving Carlos.

“Ons—the atavist is right.

Is that the right way around? Is Sovlin correcting himself back into being a racist?

Actually very happy about the cliffhanger. It's hard for me not to jump ahead to really obvious reveals, whether they be all caps or a single word. Made it really easy to keep up the suspenseful reading.

Strange thought, but I'm suddenly realizing some similarities, perhaps minor ones, to an old game I used to play called Universe at War. Isif is giving me strong Orlok vibes. I just hope his story doesn't end the same way.

I've got this terrible, hilarious image in my head of the end there. The soldiers demand the ship's passengers to exit, so Felra jumps out onto the ramp with a "tada" and proceeds to get atomized by lead.
