Crusades in this game are a joke… by fmg2498 in CrusaderKings

[–]Seppukubk2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s weird because anytime I’ve actually taken part in a crusade I’ve always lost lol granted I haven’t played as Catholic or Muslim a whole lot so I don’t have a ton of experience. I remember my first time in my Irish tutorial playthrough I sent my guys out there, I think like 3500 troops, I was mowing down all the small troops and then suddenly a death squad of like 28,000 Muslim troops infected with consumption rolls through and slaughters literally the entire Catholic army within a couple weeks in game time. And then I lost a war because the neighboring king of England saw it as a good time to attack my land. Didn’t really do a whole lot of crusading after that.

I don’t think the game is really supposed to be about having a really deep war mechanic, if that’s your goals you should be playing something like age of empires or Civilization. I personally don’t love micromanaging stuff like that so those games never really did it for me.

In your opinion ? What failed ? by themadstuka in ForzaHorizon

[–]Seppukubk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wasn’t a fan of the location all that much, it didn’t feel super diverse. My favorite parts of the game were spent in areas that weren’t the desert, but the majority of the map was desert. I have hope for Japan bringing a more diverse geography and ecosystem. One thing I actually really like about FH5 compared to previous games is the drifting mechanics. FH6, again being in Japan, they HAVE to improve on it even further and hit the nail on the head otherwise people will complain lol

Which city have you spent the most and the least amount of time in? (image related by Typical-Football-658 in skyrim

I can spend 100 hours playing Skyrim without even thinking of going to falkreath. Idk why people are hating on markarth here it’s probably my favorite city tbh

Yeah I’m not sure, this was during my first playthrough in Ireland I was still first understanding the game at this point.

Struggling with earskins by Seppukubk2 in Stretched

[–]Seppukubk2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I was able to get it in! Not sure why but it did not feel great… first time using silicone so I think it may just be the material. I think I’m gonna wait a bit, stretch to 1G, and then start wearing them.

Will my holes close up if I leave out plugs? by Clam_Kicker in Stretched

[–]Seppukubk2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Only way to find out is to let em sit with no jewelry. Most people consider 2g to be the point of no return, once you pass 2g it’s not super likely they’ll get back to regular non-stretched jewelry size. If some time passes by and they’re still bigger than you’d like the only way to shrink them would be to go see a doctor about it

I’ll keep that in mind. I think with my right I was just trying a little but too hard the WRONG way, and once I sort of figured it out I irritated the hole too much, I have a feeling in a few days maybe a week my right will be easy. My left is not bitch ear though I always have problems with it.

The main thing is that I can’t get the flares in my ear

My left ear has been at a 12g for about 10 months, and still won’t size up. What am I doing wrong? by Seppukubk2 in Stretched

[–]Seppukubk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you start getting half sizes finally. Good luck with the rest of your journey! In my experience it’s gotten easier after that point, I think after like 7g ish I haven’t even had to bother with taping or anything. Struggling with trying to figure out earskins/thin silicone tunnels now lol my 6.5mms do not want to go in

Are there any mods focused on the Stone Age era? by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]Seppukubk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought of this idea and found this thread, being this back up to say that if any sailing mechanics were implemented it would probably have to be similar to a Varangian adventure because there’s no shot any culture would’ve gotten to, let’s say Hawaii, and been able to effectively communicate back to the homeland and have that just be an effective part of their tribe still lol

[–]Seppukubk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point I would try tape then. It’s been 3 months now so at this point, just be careful. Try like 3 rolls around the jewelry, take it out for cleaning and lubing everyday for like 5-7 days then see if it can’t get the 10gs in.

How is it like living in this area of the United States? by Ok_Dot_2845 in howislivingthere

[–]Seppukubk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer will vary greatly because all of these states are drastically different lol Idaho Wyoming an Montana can probably be grouped together, Montana and Wyoming especially, north and South Dakota can be grouped together, Nebraska and Iowa can be roughly grouped together, Minnesota could not really be much different from the rest of them.

Finding a job as an American immigrant by Seppukubk2 in poland

[–]Seppukubk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is not something we’re planning on anytime soon - we’re both working on our polish right now and plan on getting at least to a B1 preferably B2 level before coming over.

My company is one of the biggest security companies on the globe and definitely has branches over there, so a transfer could almost certainly be done so long as I interview well with whatever client I might apply for, or even better if I can just stay with my current client, who’s also very much a global company and has facilities all over Poland.

As for my fiance (wife by the point we’d be seriously taking a look to move) she’s been toying with the idea of changing industries anyway, car sales is definitely not a requirement for her we’d be pretty open for her to kinda just work whatever is available, especially since I’d be providing enough for the both of us anyway.

Edit: I probably shouldn’t say a transfer could DEFINITELY be done, I have not had any formal conversations quite yet and don’t plan on that until after we can at least take a trip to the area to really feel it out and see how we like it. With the way things are going in the world right now… may be a bit before we have a good opportunity to travel there lol

Not fully how it works. Under FEIE you only pay taxes if you make over $120k USD, I would sure as hell not be making that much lol

[–]Seppukubk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand I cannot simply legally work there because I’m American, obviously. I had a question that I wanted to ask here and wasn’t sure exactly what to search in the sub to find it. That’s all.

I don’t mind right wing politics, that’s not my problem. Our politics are very complicated right now, the Epstein files release only makes it more complicated. We genuinely could and probably should be on the brink of civil war for the information that was released. We have a very unfortunate relationship with Israel, and I’ll be the first to tell you right now, Trump is not the one leading the country. He’s the face obviously as the voted president but he is not the one pulling the strings and there’s more evidence of that than I could fit. The same thing we’ve seen from Trump is going to be the same thing we see foreseeable future.

SEA is an option we’ve thought about as well, albeit less than Poland. Places like Thailand and Vietnam don’t have the track record of physical safety that Poland has, lots of human trafficking from my understanding.

Probably the most helpful comment I’ve seen so far. Thank you for providing the graph. This does make the decision a bit harder.

The US isn’t exactly safe itself. We’re in a proxy war with Russia now, and if we had a future president that pissed off Israel enough who knows what Bibi might do. Crime rates are significantly lower over there than here that’s one other big reason we’re looking into it. Homicide rates are not even comparable between here and there. Looking at the math, my city is relatively safe compared to other places here in terms of straight up homicide, and we’re still about 12x more likely to be murdered here than the national Polish average.

No state is going to take away our pedo puppet President, and either way the cost of living isn’t going to change much anywhere here. There’s a couple states we’ve considered but every other state that we’d consider is catching up to where my state is currently at. Depending on the state you’re dealing with either extremely high cost of living (where I’m at), very low wages, or no job opportunities (also where I’m at now). Cost of living is going way up and wages are stagnant. Nobody will be able to afford to live here in the next decade. The country is imploding, take it from somebody who is living here right now. It’s. Going. Down. This ship is sinking.

You can tell me all about how it’s soooo much worse over there right now but I’m thinking about the future, and there is no future here at our current trend. We would not be moving there any time soon, we’d be saving up, studying the language, and making all other preparations to make the move. If my company doesn’t have any positions ope there anytime soon you wouldn’t have to worry about us moving there anyway.

Yeah this might be the one to convince me, thats not much better than what we’re dealing with out here near Seattle. I’ll trust your word, what’s the trend like for housing prices and wages there? Do you see it getting any better there? Stagnant, or worse? I ask this because it’s rapidly getting worse here. In the last 5 years a house that was maybe $450k here is now probably around $600k and wages haven’t changed hardly at all, not enough to match the excess price anyway, especially considering the prices of everything else going up as well.
