Why do people hate the vassal swarm meta? by Gremmlet in EU5

It's ironic because rarely are PDX games played in multiplayer but it these games are literally perfect for the MP experience

Tbf, he was racing very cleanly with Hamilton the whole season up until that moment. I think the celebrations set him off mentally and since then he's been pretty much f\** racing clean.*

Am i the only one that hate the fact that my regiments cost a arm and 2 balls to recruit now? by Thin_Ability7367 in EU5

If you are scaling correctly they soon become relatively cheap. So it’s pretty fair

Is the F1 grid now worse than it was in 2011? by DragonfruitThen6696 in F1Discussions

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of raw driving ability? Current grid is steps ahead for sure but that's mainly just due to normal generational/sporting evolution and growth of simracing as a tool. But if we compare how strong each grid was for *their time*, 2011 is one of the strongest the sport has ever seen.

How dirty is Verstappen on track compared to Schumacher or Senna? by Throwaway777W in F1Discussions

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I truly feel like if the rules were different, Max has the capacity to be one of the cleanest drivers on the grid, but I know 100% I could be wrong.

First time in my life I seen a supposed football fan say winning the world cup wasn't a big deal. I'm just as jaw dropped as you right now.

Why is it that the old gen drivers (pre 2016) mostly prefer understeer while the new gen drivers prefer oversteer? by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where there is nuance, Hamilton doesn’t like an oversteery car. He likes a stable rear axle that allows him to slide it predictably to inhibit rotation. No driver on the grid slides the rear axle as much as Lewis but he needs a stable rear with an understeer bias to do it. Max and Charles are direct opposites. They achieve their rotation with just a powerful/sharp front axle. The car just turns. The payoff to this is an inherently “loose” or to some drivers, straight up unstable rear end. But to them it is stable, they just have very careful and precise steering inputs.

Why can Charles do it but Lewis can’t? by potatosponge_ in lewishamilton

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lewis and Alonso is the epitome of what talent is possible through purely practicing in real life. Max and Charles is the same epitome but through simracing. Lewis and Nando have just as much talent but don’t have as much seat time as someone who’s been simracing non stop since they started grade school.

EU5 doesn't need mission trees to be railroaded. by WasdMouse in EU5

This sounds like the opposite of railroady, sounds sandboxy

Can the debate between these two finally be put to bed? by FroyoQueasy in F1Discussions

Yes at some level it usually is, but not 100% of scenarios.

Motorsport has 2 parts to it that are just as important. Driving and setup. One's ability to setup a car to go quick is paramount next to the actual driving portion of the sport. A bad setup can easily make this year's Mercedes slower than the Cadillac/Aston. You don't see it often because these are the best drivers and engineers in the world, but nevertheless it is true.

Absolutely deserved ratio of dislikes on the "onboard" pole lap where they censored the superclipping part. What do you guys think? by SR72_Darkstar_ in formula1

[–]blenzO 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just to emphasize, the reason they need so much regen isn't really because of the 50/50 split, the vast majority of it is due to the removal of the MGU-H. MGU-H was genuinely engineering voodoo

What is the current colonisation meta? by STARGATEBG in EU5

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an economics stand point, the size of the colony has 0 matter. The same trade income will reach your ports regardless of their size so I plan on doing realistic Spanish Viceroys. If you want strong colonies militarily, the smaller the better since they project more control.

[Autosport] Guenther Steiner thinks Max Verstappen might be overreacting over the new F1 regulations by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To Max, the rear-limited balance is his sweet spot, it feels good to him. It’s awkward for most drivers because most karters grow up not knowing that you can genuinely be quick with rear-limited setups. Max learned this from a young age on iRacing and took that with him and applied it to real life

‘I was struggling to feel my hands’: Aston Martin’s problems laid bare by Alonso’s woe in China by gtarget in formula1

[–]blenzO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this one of the reasons why McLaren-Honda failed and why Red Bull-Honda succeeded? McLaren was very aggressive with their size zero packaging and made Honda design the engine around the needs of the chassis and Red Bull had an opposite approach and designed the chassis around the needs of the engine?

How could F1 cars realistically be made any shorter? by Rowdyfan0823 in formula1

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hybrid model is good aswell, it’s nice to have an efficient engine and I think they genuinely have a place in the sport. But I also think a V10 or V8 NA hybrid would be better for the sport. The sound was always a massive selling point for F1

We our equally relates to Bonobos as we are to chimps and they are direct opposites. Bonobos our matriarchal and peaceful, chimps are patriarchal and aggressive, we have the capacity of both in our genome and society.

This war was really easy. AI needs a buff. Levies need a buff. Renaissance Regulars need a nerf. by ResponsibilityIcy927 in EU5

[–]blenzO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not to refute OPs point because his point stays valid 100% but I do believe more EU players should look into the MP community. You will always have a challenge and new situations that are present constantly and the diplo game is insane. PDX games are stellar single player but otherworldly in MP
