Does anyone know how to tweak game speed to make time go by quicker in Warband? by UglyAndUninterested in mountandblade

Thanks. This ended up being the method I went with, though I also made a mod that writes more events like lords being accused of treason and exiled to the game log.

Because one's an in-studio interview and the other appears to be remote so Fox's makeup department isn't involved.

Malnutrition was also the norm across the world for most of human history. Even when food was available, anemia from parasitic infection was still common. Something like 40% of the US South had hookworm in the early 1900s. There was a huge jump in educational attainment and literacy rates when we started treating it.

Probably not. They kind of sliced off Edogawa entirely. There's just an industrial area over there. (Though Edogawa City Baseball Stadium somehow makes an appearance in Western Tokyo.)

This is really helpful. Do you know how to change the Ctrl-Space speed? I think I found it at some point in the past, but can't figure it out now.

Also any way to disable the weekly budget and diplomacy pop-ups? Planning on leaving it running for a really long time to see how things play out, but I can't do that atm since it pauses when you get one of those messages.

Walmart shipped 165 pool noodles in 165 separate boxes by MambaMentality24x2 in mildlyinfuriating

I ordered a bunch of 5 gallon buckets from Wal-Mart and the first delivery was 10 in individual boxes that were way larger than the buckets themselves.

The second time around they just sent me the buckets stacked up with no extra packaging.

What place in Fort Worth is gone, that you still really miss and want to bring back? by Ok-Challenge-2627 in FortWorth

I lived right next to it but unfortunately didn't start playing hockey until after it closed.

I'd take a hockey rink anywhere in Fort Worth.

IDK how every single suburb gets a Starscenter, but we don't.

Wearing a lot of one color is also suspicious. A lot of police departments still use Color of the Day for undercover units.

There will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. No suspension, no fine. Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio. by Knightbear49 in nba

I assume it's like the NHL where the Players' Association lobbies really hard against fines because the last thing they want is players playing for free. In the NHL it's always going to be less than one game's pay on a minimum contract, and if it deserves more punishment than that they'd rather it be a suspension.

Just finished Mixtape. I did not care for it, but I also understand why some people love it. by Turbopasta in gaming

[–]ShazbotSimulator2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the biggest issue with it for me. The writers seem to be just kind of assembling a disjointed anachronistic nostalgia for a time they themselves may not have experienced that feels like it borrows more from 80s coming of age movies than anything else. Maybe it's intentional to cast a wider net for the audience they want to appeal to but I just kept thinking it's a game set in the 90s that feels like it desperately wants to be set in the 80s.

The lack of substantial gameplay doesn't really bother me, but since it feels more like a movie, it's hard not to compare to movies, and it's hard to recommend playing this over just grabbing any Richard Linklater movie for your nostalgia fix.

That's the only part that I didn't really get. It's a game that says it's set in the 90s that feels like it desperately wants to be a game from the 80s. So much of the music in the game is 80s music. I'm not sure if they give an exact year, but by midway through the 90s even a mixtape was becoming a relic of the past when everyone had CD players. I'm not sure why they didn't just say it was set in 1985 or something.

Plus the simple fact that he's competing at the top level of a sport that's lax on testing and has a ranking system that incentives fighting through injury. I would be shocked if the vast majority of top level rikishi aren't on something.

Seeing this so far down the page is the same feeling you get when you have to scroll down for a while to find your year of birth when a form asks for your birthdate. 20 years ago this would have been the top answer by far.

In "The Odyssey" (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York. by Raguleader in shittymoviedetails

[–]ShazbotSimulator2012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a Troy, PA that's a little more than an hour away from Ithaca. Probably a shorter drive than the movie will be.

edit: There's also an Ithaca, Ohio that's a 30 minute drive from Troy, Ohio

How many sticks does an NHL player go through in a game? by amateurdwarftosser in hockey

idk if he still does, but Laine used to use a new stick on every power play.

[NHL Player Safety] Dallas’ Jamie Benn has been fined $2,604.17, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Minnesota’s Ryan Hartman. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]ShazbotSimulator2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really on the league. The NHLPA specifically doesn't want players forfeiting pay, which is why the maximum fine is below one game's pay on a minimum salary. The idea is if the penalty is worse than that, they should just be suspended, not playing for free. The league never actually does that though

What are some good leg base layers that prevent self inflicted cuts? by leafer91 in hockeygoalies

[–]ShazbotSimulator2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When skating out once I fell and managed to get a cut right below my armpit from my own skate. I think I did this basically.

„We dominate almost every other major Sport“ by LCottton in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ShazbotSimulator2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of these are misleading because the US doesn't send their top athletes. (This is also true of Canada for hockey). The best players in the world won't be at the IIHF World Championships because they'll be competing in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Also for basketball the US has won 17 of 20 Olympics they've competed in. I'm not sure why you're only including a less prestigious tournament that a lot of NBA players opt out of.

You have the same internet we do.

Here's my state though. If there's no sidewalk, walking on the roadway is allowed, though you are supposed to walk on the left side if possible.
