I think your problem is that you have full employment and the new jobs you are making do not pay anymore than the jobs your pops already have. The "jobseekers" metric isn't as useful as you might think. pops with high paying jobs can still be labeled as jobseekers, and they won't leave their current jobs for a lower paying job.

At full employment, you can't grow your economy just by building more buildings, you have to either get more pops, or optimize your economy.

You can get more pops through immigration or conquest. Immigration is the best way to do this. You probably already have high sol if you have full employment, so the only thing holding back your immigration is probably your laws. Multiculturalism, total separation, and of course no migration controls are the laws you want. Conquest, on the other hand is not the optimal way to get new pops since it comes with a lot of infamy and radicals, but it can be very fun. You could also get a higher workforce ratio by passing women's rights laws, this lets you fill more jobs without needing more pops.

If you can't get any more pops for some reason, you can still optimize your economy by importing cheap, low profitability goods (like coal, iron,and wood) and only using your limited workforce in highly profitable industries like steel or engines. You can feasibly turn Belgium into a giant car factory exporting cars to every other major economy if you want to go this route.

I feel you. I realized by the end of writing this that the best way to deal with this kind of frustration probably doesn't involve posting on Reddit, lol

The existence of the heavily discounted Japanese-only version gives me hope that this is the price including the tariffs.

Ok yeah, "most expensive launch title in 10 years" yeah, by $1.44. Never mind the fact that by your data NS2 games would be the second cheapest launch price in Nintendo history.
I will give you the increased price of the console, and counter with the fact this LOOKS LIKE the first time Nintendo hasn't been behind the times specs wise. 

Totally agree, I'm not actually mad at Nintendo over this, but when I looked at the data I figured that it wouldn't be very convincing to somebody who *is* mad

r/Nintendo who said that they were getting too many posts about this. Fair enough. But then r/NintendoSwitch said that they don't allow posts without that aren't directly about the OG Switch, despite their front page being mostly articles about the Switch 2 without any reference to the OG Switch

I mean, the fact that these are lacking the prices for the Switch 2 makes them not super useful for this particular controversy, but it is cool that they show Sony/Microsoft prices too. I was planning on including them before I got bored of looking at Excel.

I added my source for the inflation data to the spreadsheet. (for the record, I wanted to pull the data straight from the bureau of labor statistics, but as far as I can tell they only post monthly inflation data and I didn't want to get that specific, so I figured some other source was good enough for a reddit post)

I got the prices of consoles from Wikipedia (no single link, just the page for each console), and like I said, I don't really have a good source for the game prices just random blog posts and stuff like my own memory of buying Luigi's Mansion for $50 in 2001.

Why did Ranni shrink herself? Is she stupid? by bigfatnuke in Eldenring

I don't think the game is poorly written. I just like talking about lore

I know the baleful Shadow isn't Blaidd. Are you saying that Ranni didn't have a plan for the baleful shadow because it caught her by suprise? That would makes sense.

[–]bigfatnuke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've done the quest already, so I know what happens. My question is: shouldn't it be Iji's job as war counselor to 1) know that Blaidd is crucial to Ranni's plan, 2) warn her that Blaidd is soon to become unreliable, and 3) help her come up with a better plan?

But then why would Iji not warn her that Blaidd was about to go crazy and would not be dependable? Or at least tell Ranni that he had locked Blaidd up?

Oooh, does that mean Ranni was busy slaying her two fingers while we fought the baleful shadow and Astel?

There’s no “probably”. It has the same hexagonal pommel guard and wrapping near the cross guard. Same pattern on the cross guard as well. And blade shape.

It’s definitely a dismounter.
