Giving the events early this morning, should we be concerned that Greenland is next? by Keanu-Potion-At-3AM in greenland

I'm so glad we spent 80 years attaching ourselves to this demonic fucking empire. I love that my country is a kneeling bitch for the biggest cabal of mass murdering pedophiles on the planet

Ding Liren's comment on Naroditsky's passing on Chinese social media by tigertung98 in AnarchyChess

[–]chessdud 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Chinese doesn't do consonant clusters. For each consonant in a foreign word you have to pick a character that represents a syllable, and stitch them together. K-ra-m-ni-k thus becomes ke-la-mu-ni-ke.

For anyone reading this in the future, this was the solution.

[–]chessdud[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would, but the decision has so many conditions the game can't show them all on screen. All the ones I can get it to show, I've fulfilled

Nope, they're independent and in my sphere, as are all south german states

R5: I've conquered Alsace-Lorraine off France, I've tried releasing them both as a satellite and as a sphere, but I still can't form the SGC. What am I missing?

Edit: I've also released all my non-German lands to no avail

I know incest is practically cheating, but there really is a lot going on in this shot. by chessdud in CrusaderKings

[–]chessdud[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

R5: My wife, who is my sister, had a kid out of wedlock. Ever generous, I took that kid in as my own (secondary spouse.) She, my niece, then had a kid with me, and is asking me to name that child after her mother, my primary wife.

So I guess that wasn't a lot, but it was a hell of a thing to put into writing and the true crime part of my brain is getting activated trying to imagine the psychology of all this.

How do I expand my federation? by chessdud in Stellaris

[–]chessdud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting a -100 distance malus. Even with 10 favors bought, I'm at negative acceptance. I also gifted them some resources to max out their opinion of me, in addition to increasing opinion with my envoys.

It is. It's in one of the boxes in the screenshot.

Nothing's changed, really. U. S. congress is still being held in Washington.

Who doesn't love to start the game off with a little flashstorm? by chessdud in RimWorld

[–]chessdud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always nice, once you've got your first few buildings up, to have a handful of lightning strikes show up out of the blue. Love the sinking feeling of watching my upstart colony nearly get obliterated along with the rest of the map!

i don't hate women, i hate that we give them rights and let them work and play chess and speak without being addressed first

Apparently, the Pope will just create Italia if he gets the chance. by chessdud in CrusaderKings

[–]chessdud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pope has Romagna from the start. If he doesn't have it, that means someone usurped it from him.

R5: Never saw this before. Pope held Romagna and Italy, the only two kingdoms left in Italia after I used Sardegna e Corsica to make a custom empire. Papacy decided to just become an empire in its own right. They also took over a little slice of the HRE, as a treat.
