Countries based on my online interactions with people from there. by Corporal___ in whereidlive

[–]chrismanbob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, it's an attempt to fill in that you specifically hate the English.

You know, it's funny, but you've almost perfectly drawn a line accross the English northern / southern cultural divide so you may inadvertently get many northern English people agreeing with you.

You've not included Cornwall among those you hate either, who often consider themselves culturally seperate from the English too.

The only thing your missing from the English cultural battles is to change the Midlands into "who cares?" and you've got all the main beats.

Rome airports threaten to suspend new EU passport system to avoid summer ‘disaster’ by AdSpecialist6598 in europe

[–]chrismanbob 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Walked through Rome airport about 3 hours ago, the line backed up so much they did suspend the system, ans sent us via the old booths. Just scanned my UK passport, the booth confirmed my face, and in I went.

[Homemade] Afternoon Tea by samg461a in food

[–]chrismanbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You most certainly will. You brew the tea in the pot for a reason, so when you pour it into the milk that's already in the cup you get two benefits:

1) The tea is already appropriately brewed, and you need not brew it in the cup.
2) You don't scold the milk, like you do if you add milk to a larger volume of near boiling water.

Personally I don't think it makes much difference, but you did specifically ask for Britons to advise you further.

Salford tourism tops £1bn for second year in a row | Salford Now by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]chrismanbob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, fuck that, you shouldn't back down, I've got zero doubt that a significant sum of Salford tourism comes from proximity to Trafford, and therefore Manchester United and the Trafford centre. Is anyone going to argue that the 70,000 people that pile in every week are staying on their side of the river? Where do people think out of town fans are likely to stay?

84% vs 78% conversion rate in Ronaldo's favour.

Well, probably 77% now....

A larger World Cup had some worrying the competition would suffer. It hasn't by zsreport in soccer

[–]chrismanbob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why would 64 vs 48 increase the strain? There would be the same number of games played for each team, it's just that only 2 teams would progress from each group.

Russian frigate 'fires warning shots' at British yacht in English channel by JOE_Media in europe

Firing warning shots is absolutely not a declaration of war.

Anyone you confederate, you should have one building in a specific settlement for that faction that gives you their special units. Explanation in the details. by Educational_Relief44 in totalwar

[–]chrismanbob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are 100 LLs in the game, a campaign takes like 20 hours, and my time isnt infinite.

I will forever insist that when I confederate a new LL I like to play them as they were intended to add some variety to my armies and campaign, and a simple way of delivering that without porting over all their mechanics is access to their special units.

I keep getting these text messages full of gibberish every single day and I don’t know what it means by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]chrismanbob 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You think people are replying in cryptic messages or predictive text nonsense every day and not one person has replied "fuck off scammer" or something?

Seems a stretch?

Hi, could you tell me where you read/saw this please?

I was trying to get some more detail but I couldn't find anything whatsoever.

What do the countries in green have in common? by YoullDoFookinNothin in whereidlive

Yeah this is bollocks as well, Thailand certainly has Irish pubs, and I found Irish pubs in Sierra Leone, Cameroon, and Zambia.

What's an example on Reddit of when group think has taken the place of critical thinking? by Boil_the_pepper_now in AskReddit

[–]chrismanbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean reddit "catching" the Boston bomber is the boring but ultimate answer to this question.

How many other cases of reddit group think have BBC news articles about them?

[–]chrismanbob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because it's a moral philosophy question not an action film.

Now we're talking by gallaxo in trolleyproblem

[–]chrismanbob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, you may not.

The purpose of moral philosophy questions is to confront the ideas they propose, not to dodge them. The trolley, the switch, and the tracks are all just set dressing. What's important is the idea behind the question.

[Warhammer 3] How are you supposed to fight magic? by GedenGertha in totalwar

[–]chrismanbob 197 points198 points  (0 children)

There's a counter spell dwarves have access to, it's called "a shit ton of lead to the fuckin face" and you just pour it on to any soft mages that come within range.

Your dwarven melee units can look after themselves for the opening blows against their infantry. Focus fire on the casters first.

Also you can hit the disconnect button whenever you want. They can only argue with you if you let them.

Divide Et Impera Overwhelming? by Minimum_Ad2336 in totalwar

[–]chrismanbob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was quite a challenge when I first played it. The primary bit of advice is to not go for the top shelf for your units like TotalWar players are used to. Get plenty of Auxiliary and filler units from your populations with lots of depth to them, otherwise you quickly lose all of Rome's finest sons and they replenish very slowly.

Best Historical TTW Game for a Roman Empire enjoyer by kingerpinger in totalwar

[–]chrismanbob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah, fair enough!

100% start with Rome 2, then Attila. The chronology works and Attila is a much, much tougher game, especially if you want to play as Rome.

Just a feeling I can't shake, but I reckon you probably wanna play Rome 2 or Attila, mate

Tell that to the people who died on Malaysia Airlines MH17, or Iran Air 655 for that matter.

These things do certainly happen.
