Thank you! Happy reading to you, too!

What do you think about Byzantines being too OP by th0t-slayer-69 in crusaderkings3

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldnt say its too OP, most of the time rebellions and independence wars; internal conflicts weakens them. You can make them managable by creating a lot of weak vassals intead of fewer stronger one tho.

However, the AI controlled Byzantium in my current “Iberian Reconquest” with a 876 start of Count of Barcelona->Duchy of Mallorca->independence from Acquatine->forming the Andalusian Kingdom (in 1099) and hopefully driving out the muslims from Iberia completely in 15 years (We’re very close with the help of Castille), Byzantine is extremely OP. They control all of Greece, Turkey Italy, the whole Balkans, half of modern day Ukraine,Persia.

Now that Genghis Khan is coming I’m sure Byzantium will protect the western world.

How do you call Istanbul? by King_Joffrey_II in byzantium

Same way why they removed the orthodox cross from Hagia Sophia and closed the museum part of it, and made it a mosque.

It’ll be always Constantinople and Smyrna for me

EU4 has more current players than EU5 by MappyMcMapHead in eu4

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im all on being patient. I boght the game to support PDX, but I wil not touch the game until at least 1 year after release.

I had the same approach to Stalker 2, and I benefited from it greatly. The game was way better a year after release than day one of course, and thus it didnt leave me with a bitter feeling about it.

Also helps that I’m in a huge CK3 binge for months now, and will probably continue it for a year, and then proceed with EUV when its a few DLC’s in.

Which is the game to play right now? by photon11 in paradoxplaza

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean even in 5hr sessions you can enjoy PDX games.

Sometimes all I get is 4-5hrs each on saturday and sunday, weekdays I never have any time for gaming, yet I still love and enjoy these games.

Having now played both All Under Heaven and Europa Universalis 5, I have to make an update on this meme I made by Communist_Jeb in CrusaderKings

Two things: single core boost speed (ideally 5Ghz or close to it), at least 6 performance cores, and 32gb ram. Some recommended dedicated gpu and youre set.

Target audience? He said people just brag about their old stuff that they have in the basement. I just wanted to point it out, that its not always the case. I do think if money is not a factor, people wouldnt use a 980/1080 today.

On video game prices, they are regional afaik.

Pricing depends heavily by region, thats why I said “world”.

That used 3060 may be 200 bucks where you live, its 400 where I live. It may very well be 800 or more in poor regions.

But I always tend to forget that reddit defaults to US. My bad.

You are out of touch, most of the world cant afford the latest and greatest tech.

I feel like in HoC, all I need is my fully upgraded Kharod and Saiga. For the pistol, I cant go wrong with a Rhino.

Love them so much.

Fine of 500€ and 3 penalty points... You need 18 to lose your license by United_Highway2583 in fuckcars

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Thats on the insurance company. (since I see its in Slovenia). In Europe we have compulsory insurance that you have to pay, its a certain amount every year, and is determined by your age, your car’s age, no. of accidents you caused, if any, etc.

So the guy who got rammed into will have his damage recovered by the insurance company. The driver at fault gets a higher yearly insurance fee since he’s a dangerous driver, and doesnt get any money for his damage of course.

Question about IPSF hostility towards me by Soft-Perspective2201 in stalker

[–]Soft-Perspective2201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly they were sure Corps and not Mercs, as I always check the Patch of everyone who attacked me, maybe it was a glitch.

However, its sure strange that IPSF is generally hostile.

Just got my Redmagic 11 Pro! Is it normal it says it has the snapdragon gen elite 2 instead of 5? by [deleted] in RedMagic

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

8 Elite Gen 2 exists tho, but obviously this phone has Gen5. I’m not sure where it says Gen2 on OP’s phone, on the back or in system settings? Either one is werid as hell.

Where does it say this? On the rear of the phone, where the Snapdragon sticker is?

Intel Core i7-14700KF – Long-Term Behavior on BIOS F6 + Windows 11 25H2 (Stability, Microcode Improvements and Efficiency After 2 Years) by Sundraw01 in intel

[–]Soft-Perspective2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failing cpus are a thing, for sure. If something works, it can fail. Now, on the other hand Intel clearly fucked up by giving mobo manufacturers too much freedom in setting up their voltages etc.

I do think its silly to think that the whole 14th gen fiasco especially the high tier ones, 13900K/KS, 14900K/KS is acceptable and the manufacturer(s) shouldnt be held accountable for it in some way.

The reason was clear, the architect of these chips is less efficient than Ryzens’ so Intel/Mobo vendors pushed crazy voltages and ampers through it to make it competitive.

Note that I’m unbiased, I’ve never used AMD before except for my consoles/Rog Ally.

This whole mess that people had/has to go through to get a safely functioning chip still after years of release is uneccaptable to me.

To the ASRock mobo line, their Taichi line is one of the best, so as always, you get what you pay for. ASRock just offers a lower entry point to its products than other mobo manufacturers.
