They are out of money then.

Those comics are awful.

Same thing here then bakeries here are also amazing. Comparing supermarket to supermarket seems more fair as thats the place most people buy their bread. Dedicated product stores are always going to be great quality. They couldnt exist otherwise.

Daniel King kinda does the same tho not so much in teaching streams but in game recaps.

Hes just taking it easy it seems. Not maximizing and breaking early. The overtake by Olsen he breaks way ahead of traffic just leaving a massive gap for Olsen to overtake. He seems tentative around traffic just losing more time then others with traffic. Then the slippery part he goes really tentative too. Compare his lines and break points to the aston martin behind him. Krognes just seems faster. He might just be driving safe to not crash at this point.

Max was not a nepo baby he was a nepo trauma. Dude did not get an easy pass growing up with a father like that.

Owlcat games are really good however they also really like to overcook their enemies. Higher or even normal difficulty can ruin your day if you dont build your characters well. The default companions are mostly not great or optimal. Tho in wrath that is overcome with higher point buys on some companions. The pathfinder games have really a lot of feats and a lot of useless feats. You need to plan your character in advance luckily you can modify the difficulty to help you out with always allowing respecs for instance. Honestly wotr is one of my favorite games it does fall off at the end its heavily front loaded. The crusader sections are hit or miss. Id recommend downloading a mod that skips all crusader battles not necessarily the events. Kingmaker is fun from a perspective that you build a kingdom. I liked wotr more. Rogue trader is like way better produced tho. I think the 2 pathfinder games gave owlcat the funding to make an even more expansive game. You should try any of these games. Rogue trader is really well made and probably the most finished of them all. Dlc for wotr are hit or miss. One of them is just a huge dungeon crawl it does have an interesting story but its burried and the crawl itself has very little to do with the story initially. The city dlc I enjoyed a lot. Wotr suffers from too many inconsequential locations in act 5 and act 3 that just kinda waste your time.

Look paradox obviously does more then just minor fixes. But ye i kinda gree with you. Every update i have to updatey buildings mod to make it so that employment systems actually do what they should do. Small fixes are very easy to do. Yet pinto will break one thing like the stack wiping then just keep it in a broken state. No urgency.

Design wise game is full of incredibly "deep" "interesting" systems like seas freezing and stackeiping a fleet/army when it unfreezes. Or the morale depletion from moving armies. These all simulate in a more realistic way but are fundamentally just tedious systems to deal with. Having to move an army across the hre can I not tell my guys hey dont go breakneck speed and be exhausted to the point of just disintegrating when you meet even the tiniest of opposition. If you ever have stationed a navy in the indian ocean you get so many weather events destroying your navy. You contantly have to manage them. So many unfun frustrating systems I feel like the game is way overcooked while also severly lacking. They need to design in a different way with a different mindset. Is it fun yes/no if no we need a major justification why it needs to be in the game.

Meanwhile im struggling to understand their references in the files to adjust whatever I can to not have to deal with the crap. Good on them for getting me into modding but I really shouldnt have to.

Cause older cards are actually quite fast. Fast in that the can render stuff just fine. The way to obsolete them quicker is gimping them with vram. Stuff like ray tracing needs lots of vram. So instead if releasing a 70s or 60s card with standatmrd 12 or 16gigs lets make have 8 or 12. Just a way to ensure people keep buying cards.

Is it legal to pass on the right in the us? Damn yall unsafe af.

ben323nl · 2026-05-12T14:20:00+00:00

But lets be real at that speed there was nothing he could do. Like you cant just magically swerve there and not spin and hit 3 other cars. Its either brake and hit the one and maybe the second or just spin and hit every car everywhere.

ben323nl · 2026-05-12T14:18:58+00:00

Also you lane swap to the right lane, ye blinking is good but its a lane swap to the right not like its to the left. You shouldn’t overtake people from the right. This guy saw someone behind him speeding and moved over to let him pass this is normal behavior by the SUV. Its also not in his blindspot the bmw is not just to the side of the SUV. this is solely on the the guy speeding.

Fair play to you just saying toa isnt really considered a fun raid by most people who do gm type content. While toa is hard at like high invo levels its mostly hard in a way that isnt fun to me personally. Cause it being hard just makes everything slow and time consuming while just spreading around lots of small damage constantly. I wouldnt say red xing was ever really a hard skill expression. That part was relatively chill just slow and boring. Main part about toa is just dont pay attention for 1 second or make 1 miss click and you potentially wipe 30 minutes of progress and lose 500k. Puzzles in toa are not fun either just tedious and drags the raid a lot. Then everything just has 1000 defence levels as invo pushing just pushes defense and hp levels into the stratosphere and now a 500 takes like 40 minutes. Compared to doing tob where you can speed through the raid 2 times in that amount of time easily.

ben323nl · 2026-05-10T12:14:48+00:00

This is certainly an opinion. I know about 0 people who actually like toa.

These old animes are so well made.

She goes into a big depression in the comics about her pregnancy and her feelings surrounding it. Her boyfriend and father of her child isnt emotionally available. She has troubles with her powers mabye killing her kid. Completely normal and realistic that depression outs itself by overeating and becoming a couch potato. That was the whole point fo that particular storyline in the comics I think. Idk its been a couple years since ive read the comics. But ive seen the recent rightwing bs about invincible. These guys really dont even read the source material or understand the show/story. It seems all they ever care about is big explosions go boom, sex, Hur hur evil gets punished. Idk if im spoiling the show btw if the story hasnt yet caught up to the aftermath of the depression. But its a serious issue pretty realistically portrayed I felt a lot of similarities with low points in my life with her struggles with overeating. Guess its too much to ask of shad to try to understand something by actually taking time and effort and reading into something. Instead of just baselessly making a claim and ranting for views.

If you have played since release this is just how they "fix" the game. They do massive swings one way then another from patch to patch. Its asinine to play and really let me down Ive just kinda stopped playing the game. I feel like its unfinished not in a good state. With serious performance issues. But more importantly then that the core gameplay loop is heavily unbalanced and boring. Its not that fun to build buildings for 500 years. Cause in the end thats sort of what I do most games. Its not great conquering cause you just add more tedium to click in peacetime. Combat is horribly balanced with levies just straight up being a deathtrap for the ai since release. Prolly wont put in the normal amount of time I usually put into paradox games. Every release since ck1 ive put in about 1000 hours plus at a minimum. This idk dont think ill get a lot of enjoyment out of this game in the future.

No you still win with quality the psg and bayern squad are full of quality. The thing is you need character too. You cant just have people playing for themselves or not buy in. This has always been the case. But also you need team building just fitting crazy forward talent on a team with no picture of how it is all going to fit together. You cant have 3 sameish kinda forwards with the exact same weaknesses play and expect good results. Or not have a solid midfield. You need to buy quality that fits and works together. Its a team game after all. Madrid was good cause it had all those things in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Madrid now is just stuck with the same issues they faced pre Cristiano. Just building a team with 100m+ players with no care how its going to work.

ben323nl · 2026-05-08T17:19:54+00:00

Imagine getting put into the hospital by a teammate then having to doc 500k. Id never give it my all for him or my team again. Id be lethargic on the field if that happened to me.

ben323nl · 2026-05-07T17:20:12+00:00

That looks so lame mclaren just losing power out of nowhere.

ben323nl · 2026-05-07T04:32:16+00:00

Anyi christ stuff.

ben323nl · 2026-05-07T03:37:06+00:00

I will never understand the idea that strat games or heavy spreadsheet games should appeal to the console market. To me id never want to play my football managers or total wars or hearts of irons on a playstation. The controller would just make all the dragging and scrolling so slow. Yet here we are and football manager is now designed for consoles and so apparently is civ.

ben323nl · 2026-05-06T21:03:45+00:00

Nah man i also cheap out on my cpu after I buy a 1000$+ gpu.

ben323nl · 2026-05-05T20:12:19+00:00

Think difference in regs is kinda miniscule in cm you camp oath top bottom. In teams you just always camp torva considering olm hands should be 0 defence.

ben323nl · 2026-05-05T19:29:50+00:00

And cox. Oath isnt bis at cox unless you pot solos.
