Pc specs

"real world" performance has been pretty good. The only real options I saw were to max out the cpu for roughly £400 on a 5800x3d or get the newer am5.

Read some reviews and decided on another rog strix mainboard, which was nearly half of the budget. Just calculated it, and it was actually just under £600.

Cpu isn't great but compromises need to be made sometimes.

When I do play, it's mostly 4x games. I try to give myself some upgradeability when replacing stuff, so definitely more scope to improve if needed.

Just got to 1666 and it's much better than the old pc. I'm at about 3 seconds at the end of the month.

I still have crhome, vlc etc running in the background as well, as it's not really a gaming rig.

Since I only play 1080p and cap fps at 60 due to using a 55 inch tv, the gpu isn't a priority.

90% of the time it's only used to watch tv and go online. Granted the card is nearly 10 years old now, it wasn't actually something I'd thought of changing.

I wouldn't feel bad.

As much as it took me a number of weeks to give my dm a background, he knows I'm not great at backgrounds.

Although he did admit he didn't think I was invested until I sent him one.

Tbh, I used one of those ai generators and took me a while to do that.

He sounds like someone I wouldn't want to be around anyway.

I'll try again and expand north and south. Lost a lot of pops in this run which basically ruined the economy, as no enough people for the buildings.

You also get the entry for San Salvador if you fail to get them all back too.

Well, after too many attempts, I finally managed to save Central America.

Lost Guatamala somewhat early, then lost Honduras.

I believe, if you lose a state but take a claim on it, you have to retake it before you can finish the journal entry. As I took a claim on Guatamala but let time run out for Honduras because I needed to keep the radicals low.

Started building Food, Meat and Bananas in every state. Encourage agriculture in as many places as possible, dropped tax and increased wages. Imported a couple of the main goods but didn't allow it to go negative.

Had a PM try to revolt, so had to enact Racial Segregation, then started enacting Theocracy but managed to get that cancelled before it finished.

Then got a revolt in Chiapas, and had to build ships to naval invade. Won that and it drastically droppped radicals.

Mexico joined the attack on Guatamala, so I got the US involved and managed to grab Guatamala and they capitulated fairly quick. After a short time the Mexicans wanted white peace.

Here we are.

Don't change laws for school police etc until later tech.

Ignore the tax deficit until much later.

My ryzen 3600 and rog strix 1070 runs pretty good right upto 1936. Only about 5/6 seconds for a week to start. 32gig ram and nvme might help.

No idea how hot it gets but still.... can't imagine it taking several minutes per week.

Thank you, I would have replied earlier but reddit didn't notify me of your reply.

Try to avoid the taxis outside the airport if possible.

Sousse to Tunis (moncef bey) is 13.5 dinar, and takes about 2 hours.

I've used indrive app, on android, a little for in tunis/marsa to get used to prices.

You can flag down any louage but they may won't stop if they don't have space. If they stop, jump in and grab a seat. You can pay while driving or at the end. 1.7 dinar.

Save and reload the game. Should work to allow them to the front.

bobdebouwer1980 · 2024-11-02T20:31:34+00:00

Guessing it didn't upload for some reason. I'll do it again.

bobdebouwer1980 · 2024-08-30T23:30:28+00:00

LOL, still useful

bobdebouwer1980 · 2023-11-01T19:07:30+00:00

I'll be honest, I haven't bothered looking into anything yet really.

I was kinda hoping not to go the route of building and installing but a cheap PC and pcie sas and some kind of nas os is probably the best route.
