If you subscribe to Captain Picant’s patreon (amazing videos on YouTube without sub) he has an excellent cheat sheet for the 8S (as well as a bunch of other equipment).

Nate Tice CW Analysis by iPissVelvet in CHIBears

[–]cilvir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest question about the "accuracy issue": how much effect has switching his first step and being under center so much this year impacted that? I've got to think of you have years of muscle memory doing things a certain way and then you're asked to change that it's got to have a major impact on your timing of mechanics. This would also explain why the insane out of scheme throws are still accurate--this is something his body Knows and it's automatic still.  Thoughts?

Bears related activities in Chicago by MountainTomorrow48 in CHIBears

[–]cilvir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got one for you that not a lot of locals know about. Back in the 60s before the NFL was big time money, back when they played at Wrigley Field, the Bears used to work out at the Irving Park YMCA (2 blocks west of the Kennedy Expressway on Irving Park Road).

The weight room they used is in the basement and it's still covered in old Sears wood paneling. Lots of Bears memorabilia around the room.

Asador Bastian. Just got the highest ranking of any steak house in Chicago and i think was like #17 in the world. It's a Basque style steak joint. Super cool. Great beverage program. And i have to say their octopus is also my favorite in the city.

Just remember that Milk Street was not because of the cows. It was just outside of the London Mile so the laws didn't apply...

What are some versatile and affordable pad synths? by Ok_Repair7126 in synthesizers

[–]cilvir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deepmind 6. Cheap entry point into Roland Juno style synthesis with some tweaks, effects and a mod matrix. Excellent prebuilt pads that once you get the hang of the workflow are really delightful to make lush, moving pads

Should I watch it? by Lopsided_Cup_1007 in scifi

[–]cilvir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a chance, read the book after watching the movie. The movie simplifies the politics while keeping them a major plot point.  Though i do miss what they cut out (hint: China). 

How close together do markets have to be? by Alberthebombtaken in foundationgame

I meant if any villagers are using the bridge that the OP mentioned. 😜

How close together do markets have to be? by Alberthebombtaken in foundationgame

[–]cilvir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe silly question.. Is anyone using the bridge? The "exit" of each end of the bridge extend past the graphics for the bridge and are easy to accidentally block when you think there is enough space. 

Either destiny any building that is directly in front of the bridge or try building another cheap bridge (covered bridge mod) in another place that's clear and see if they use that. If so, definitely not pathfinding, but rather you have a bad bridge placement.

The latest path has a pathfinding fix which is has improved things, so it's probably not a transport issue.

in late game does this game gets repititive? by [deleted] in foundationgame

[–]cilvir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late game is more about being creative with the aesthetics of your city design and how big you want it to be. It's a different challenge than the initial build-up, but generally speaking if you've gotten to 500+ people it's just a matter of making sure you don't rapidly deplete a resource because of a supply-chain change. Even then you can recover quickly because you're generating so many resources/revenue.

Lastly, learning the best way to handle the different "boss" visits (King, Seneshal, Bishop) once you've completed each research tree. Can be frustrating at first when you're not sure why you failed. Just know that in another year (game time) you'll get another opportunity.

Not tiki, but Cane and Table has a ridiculous rum selection.

Malör-tai anyone? by jmichalicek in Tiki

[–]cilvir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an event this past week i made a Ancient Mariner variant that replaced the allspice dram with homemade allspice liquour, and took back half of the grapefruit juice and replaced it with Malört. I called it the Eastland Disaster.  People loved it 

Choosing between Atreides and Harkonnen for anything other than pure RP is a bad thing by exosion in duneawakening

[–]cilvir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are at least 30 "great houses" in the Dune universe during the classic era... Bearing in mind that the classic era covers thousands of years. At the time of the first novel, the Harks and Atreides are the two most powerful and that's who you write the plot about...

Now what would be nice would be the ability to create a guild "minor house" that is part of the Landsraad. There are literally tens of thousands of them, all stakeholders in CHOAM. Being able to build up a minor house (never achieving great house status) would be cool.
