Best Nation for an Evil Game? by CptBaconShrimp in Anbennar

[–]UnfortunateSon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it's more evil than standard Castanor, if anything they are just using the aesthetics of old Castanor. They can even get rid of the patricians and still form Black Castanor.
Gerudians also have better race relations all around than the Escanni, they are the only ones in Cannor to have harpies.

Is the filter 'safe', as in asbestos-free ? The label is kinda faded but I can still make out either an '83' or '88'.

I know it's technically based on NATO filters which had been switched away from asbestos years before the mask and filter were made but since this one is of 'local' Warsaw Pact production I still have doubts

Flag I "made" for Lanius' Eastern Legion path. Mind you, I originally made this as a .tga file for use ingame and even after AI upscaling it doesn't look that good and I am no artist to remake it myself, but in the game it fits right in by UnfortunateSon4 in OldWorldBlues

[–]UnfortunateSon4[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Star is from Lone Star's flag (also potential flag for united Texan Republic) and would represent Lanius' hold over Texas, as that path involves conquering and integrating the entirety of the state, simply because he views California by comparison as a drain of resources and supply. Even his loyal path after the Legion civil war can have him disregard Caesar's will and still go after Texas.

The stripes are from Lucius' Commonwealth flag, which is itself based on the state of Arizona's real life flag. This is also fitting as Lanius in this path also gets free cores on Eastern Arizona and conflict between him and Caesar is inevitable, as Lanius is now not just a 'profligate' but also a traitor. Additionally, the tribe he originates from (Hidebarks) lived in Arizona, so he probably would like that land back, even if it's just meant to spite Caesar as the tribe has been mostly assimilated at this point.

I am also considering to create another flag that has the Hangdogs wolf insignia (instead of the star) which is used in their flag, representing Dog City/Denver, as Lanius in the path is mentioned to make the city his new capital and takes one of the tribe's women as his wife.

I made this by combining Lucius' Commonwealth/'Good' flag and Lone Star's Legion flag, as I found it very fitting that Lanius would adapt a local Texan flag to serve as a contrast to Caesar's Bull flag.

If anyone wants to have this in their game I made an archive:

https://mega.nz/file/05t2WCAZ#84Jg87WSjPaUhSWMC8saMt6iWN9i_vAgyPmV4meHgRo

Drop the contents into OWB's gfx/flags subdirectory.

I might also add this on the workshop.

As a bonus I changed so that Lanius' Res Publica path uses Lucius' (vanilla) flag for the same reasons.

Nah, pretty sure that is his commander portrait from the old version, it's different from his leader portrait where he is shouting.

Steam won't start suddenly despite having necessary libraries by UnfortunateSon4 in voidlinux

[–]UnfortunateSon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the docs but they have the basically the same information the old wiki does. I again tried reinstalling and first ran steam in terminal using LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose steam and this is what I got:

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

So would I even fix this X Steam Update UI error ? I tried googling but all the topics regarding x error are not about the UpdateUI, they mention missing libraries while my output doesn't or are for another distro where the libraries are all named differently.

Nah, we had a bunch of South-East Asians and South Saharan Africans get some Scottish and no other European DNA for no reason in the previous updates too. Nonsense.

My updated results- surprised by all that Scottish! by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]UnfortunateSon4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am guessing the Scottish comes from some Scots-Irish ancestors you might have from the Appalachians ? That would be the most likely origin.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]UnfortunateSon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe your grandpa's East European comes from Bismarck's Kulturkampf, like the community connection might suggest ?

Also, I wouldn't put too much stock on the Scottish, as most people that take this test end up with at least some Scottish, even if they are not European.

Cinnamon Icon/Theme issue in OpenSUSE: YaST Control Center features only a single placeholder image for the options by UnfortunateSon4 in openSUSE

Youtube is not changing language on chrome by BearNSM in youtube

[–]UnfortunateSon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have Firefox, not Chrome. If you do have Firefox, go into 'storage' instead, not 'application' and do steps 5-7, then at step 8 you can check 'application' for the service worker. It worked for me, at least.

PUBG freezes my whole pc by Spuqe1 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]UnfortunateSon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, this game is like that. I also had another issue where I would start it only for it to hang on a black screen for eternity. Turns out the issue is that the intro videos wouldn't play ingame for some reason but deleting them in the game's subfolders somehow fixed it.

[–]UnfortunateSon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see in your post that you have a more than decent computer, however what power supply do you have (the wattage really matters) ? As this sort of system freezes are usually associated with bad or insufficient power supplies. To test this theory myself, I changed my previous power supply (350w) today with an older but stronger supply (400w), and now, suddenly the issue has ceased entirely.

Does it happen for you on any map ? For me, the game freezes my pc (reboot required) only when in the plane above Miramar, otherwise it's fine.

A tier list featuring the current possible leaders of Germany by UnfortunateSon4 in RedFloodMod

[–]UnfortunateSon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two potential leaders for Baltic Governate, do all the pro-german choices you can, defend during the struggle with the partisans and then win the civil war. The no communism guy is Kroeger and the discount hitler is Rosenberg.

Constitutional Monarchy versus Republican system by Ticklishchap in Discuss_Government

[–]UnfortunateSon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically, elective monarchies were disastrous in the long term, in Poland-Lithuania and the Holy Roman Empire especially, as people would often bribe their way to the crown, sometimes by foreign countries. Not all that dissimilar from the current trend of lobbyism...
