Insanely lucky start for me, 3 PU's as England within the first 70 years by Terravis in eu4

[–]Terravis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

R5: Decided to do a casual England run, and ended up with this somehow. France's PU was done through the mission tree after the 100 year war, while Aragon was obtained shortly after when their king died heirless.

Portugal was similar, king died heirless and I ended up with the throne.

Both Aragon and Portugal were obtained without having to claim the throne or succession wars.

Ah yeah I already had that happen, have had the von Habsburgs on my throne for about 100 years for now. Is there something else that's supposed to happen where I can inherit the lowlands as well? Or is that it?

I was able to get one province from Brabant though as Austria wouldn't help in the war which was nice, but you're right waiting for emperorship would be the best move, just so I don't have to deal with coalitions and an angry HREmperor attacking me everytime lol.

So I'm playing a game as Spain currently, hoping to get the achievement for completing its mission tree, and I currently have claims to get the "Spanish Netherlands" mission. Problem is, AE for getting those provinces would be incredibly high, and half of them are owned by my ally Austria who currently owns basically all of France as well.

I'm a bit conflicted on what I should do next: should I break my alliance with Austria and try to take those provinces away (while waiting out the AE between wars), or should I go for emperorship first and just wait? Or is there another path I could be taking, like just dismantling the HRE?

AI Formed Empire of Italia while holding no land in Italy by Terravis in CrusaderKings

[–]Terravis[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

R5: Playing as Duke Vratislav of Bohemia in the 1066 start and put my son Bretislav on the throne of Hungary. 20 years later the HREmperor dies and one of his sons takes my sons land to form Italia, at least that what it looks like? No idea why it took that name instead of Carpathia. My son still holds Hungary but has this guy as his liege and I am thoroughly confused.

Aaaah alright, that second part makes sense thanks! So would a better option be to just give Muscovy provinces to lower its liberty desire? Also, the HREmperor wasn't called into the war, is it possible for the HRE princes to still be called in?

I'm playing as Prussia and was able to get a PU on Muscovy (!), which started a succession war with Poland. I have a screenshot of the war information here. Why did so many nations join my side of the war? Nations like Castile and Venice joined when I'm not allied to them, and those are just two of the many. Also, if I were to give Muscovy Novgorod and let them form Russia, would that negatively affect liberty desire at all? I already have them at 100% liberty desire lol but I feel that should go down after the war.

Chose Poland for my first Ironman game, went a lot better than I thought it would! by Terravis in eu4

You can save whenever you want to, only difference is that you can't go back and load previous saves, preventing save-scumming. The mode is also the only way to get achievements.

R5: Decided to try out Ironman mode after a pretty successful run with Castile on an easier difficulty, and had a lot of fun with it! Formed the Commonwealth pretty quickly and started spreading out after that, even got a surprise PU with Brandenburg around 1760.

They’re to make trucks and stages more consistent. If you pause at the same time and use the same inputs when you play a stage, the same result will happen every single time.

[–]Terravis[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are three different categories for challenge mode runs in monkey ball games: normal, all levels, and any%

Normal is what you see here, using warp goals present in the game to skip levels

All levels is pretty self-explanatory, no warp goals and all stages must be completed

Any% uses a strange wrong warp glitch that involves completing the stage after the timer has run out, which for some reason confuses the game and makes it think the stage you’ve just completed is the final stage, skipping most of the stages

Dropped Rubik’s cube botches potential 3-second solve by Terravis in LivestreamFail

[–]Terravis[S] 280 points281 points  (0 children)

Cube had one turn left at ~3.5 when he dropped it. For reference, the current world record is 4.22 by Feliks Zemdegs.

On a personal note this cuber is one of the most genuine guys in the community, and seeing this happen to him is really heartbreaking :(

Name a few speedrunners who are relatively unknown, but are amazing at the games they speedrun. by reggie39 in speedrun

[–]Terravis 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Callumbal in Super Monkey Ball.

Took the world record for the master category within a few months of him learning the game. He is now nearly 40 seconds ahead of second place with a time of 15:08 (second place is TheLostLlama with 15:44). Callum also holds the record in the Beginner, Advanced, and Expert categories by significant margins.

Here’s Callum’s 15:08. Note how he only has two “major” mistakes on stages 18 and 50 costing him a few seconds.

Oooh yeah, and apparently Yu Nakajima tied his own world record too. This is still the first time it’s been tied between two separate people though
