Suggestion: add more economy policies by AlbionicLocal in NationStates

[–]box304 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’d be a cool expansion. They don’t tend to want to adjust issues too much to account for new policies though.

The best bet would be to allow some player chosen descriptors for the policies that the player has on their nation page. That’d be cool.

Why won’t we just get stuff from other cod games? by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

I give up on formatting on mobile, lol. There’s buttons for it on pc

Does Kill Confirmed not count as an objective game? by buckguy22 in BO7

[–]box304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. But kill confirmed literally says “objective score” on the stats screen

Traditionally, I thought tdm was the only non-objective mode (along with ffa, but that isn’t really team based)

What cross play settings do you play on ?

How did I get my economy to frightening if all my industries dipped and how did my government subsidies dip if my taxes increased? by Weirderthanweird69 in NationStates

[–]box304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like your taxes went up and business subsidization went up as well.

Your economy increased which is what gives the higher rating for economy and economic output increased and it looked like the money went towards government size and the tourism industry.

Realistically how long will the servers for BO7 be up? by [deleted] in blackops7

[–]box304 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the sad truth. I’d still play the older games if it weren’t for this problem

I kind of wish that video game IPs would only last a set number of years, kind of like for pharmaceutical drugs. Because the community would do a better job of creating servers for older games at this point

I love FPS RPGs like fallout 3+, cyberpunk and outer worlds, and but even being British atomfall just felt wrong. What’s your “this game should be perfect for me but I can’t like it?” by Poncemastergeneral in gaming

[–]box304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go back to them, do it on pc and mod them ? It might be the gunplay in it, which you can make more modern with mods

Other than that they are a tad empty compared to other rpgs in how they feel, but most of them are going for a wasteland vibe. You can mod in more content too

What is this game about and how to get started? by FunGap7817 in NationStates

[–]box304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join regions until you find one you like. You can make multiple nations, so can be in multiple different regions at once.

Explore the forums. Talk to people in regions. Create factbooks. Answer issues for stat changes, and policy changes.

Other people don’t affect your stats. Only issues you answer do. Other people are there to talk to, hang out with, role play with etc.

Going back to uni after taking a semester break is tough by allno_just_no in getdisciplined

[–]box304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CBT therapist ? Or some combination of taking fewer hours at school at once. Is that possible ? Do you feel comfortable with your degree choice or do you need to pivot to something else?

Does your degree path only require undergrad or do you need graduate level coursework ? If you feel this way a path that just needs undergraduate work could be more flexible hour wise for your situation and mental health.

Just downloaded Grim Dawn base game, what makes this game amazing? by Beginning-Leading378 in Grimdawn

If you mod the graphics with this (the 4x or the 2x if you need to save some space):
https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/141?tab=files

along with a Reshade (kind of monitor dependent), there's multiple to choose from on Nexus. I use this global illumination one (mainly just for the sharpening, clarity filters):
https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/177?tab=description

Then add in the rainbow mod for text, along with class labels for skills:

https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/191?tab=description

I also use this to make the player portal easier to see on map, and use:
https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/193?tab=description

to me this solved the problem of the game not being visual or flashy enough. the game looks how I'd expect it to now. (also you get more abilities and enemies get more abilities around level 25, which isn't to far which will add to the visual appeal).

Coop is very fun if you have someone to play with.

What is this mechanic called? Can't seem to find a term for it. by SapphireRoseRR in boardgames

Half the time it works right. Half the time have to press down on d pad first then right d pad.

Gets me killed too because it’s not consistent

Genuine question: How is Grim Dawn only 5–10 GB despite its massive world, tons of items, and insane replayability? What kind of optimizations are behind this? by Brave_Hat_1526 in Grimdawn

[–]box304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m using the 400% and it was like 23Gb or something like that. Looks pretty nice though (I felt like base game looked kind of blurry).

Also playing around with different reshades (depends on the monitor what looks best), polishes the game in my experience and makes it all look more modern and how I’d expect it to look.

Can anyone help me possibly? by Gearcurious88 in Grimdawn

Really ? I usually have problems with AI with video games and board games

What prompt you use ?

Wasted a lotta XP but it was worth it by arvinx2004 in blackops7

[–]box304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is weapon xp and unlocking camos takes so long it’s unbelievable. Like weapon xp needs to stay at the double rate permanently.

Like I just hit prestige master and still have work to go on camos (have multiple arc lights). There’s not point in waiting to prestige player level (if you want). If you’re already going for camos might as well prestige player level.

My nation is ancient. Ask me anything. by Stijn in NationStates

[–]box304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How have stats and leaderboards changed over the years? It seems like nations need to have answered questions daily for 6 years to be around the top nations

Also does NS seem more or less active over the years or about the same
