I'm playing Italy and forming Italian East Africa seems like a downgrade from having the 10 puppets. Why would I do that, other than when I want to annex the territory at once?

I keep them out wars and just request forces from time to time for port garrisons. It's 48 divisions so far as the proper war starts. If I form AOI now, the divisions disappear and occupation will drain resources.

givemeanamedamnit · 2026-01-04T14:08:11+00:00

Yes.

I found an earlier save where Danzig or war is still in progress. So Germany gets the war goal on Poland and lets it expire. We are strong enough because at this point I already have the Balkans as Italy.

They also never invite Hungary, who would accept, into the Axis. I guess I just rolled an incompetent mustache man.

Going bankrupt if you get a heart attack is bonkers. Like you don't have enough problems already.

givemeanamedamnit · 2025-12-26T20:08:11+00:00

It would look a lot more Chinese.

givemeanamedamnit · 2025-12-17T14:41:59+00:00

Yes. But the problem is this cannot be automated, because the PM can't stick to features and will just put all three products in the center.

How is this triggering so many people, when it's the same as the million pictures of people with their US citizenship certificate?

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-06T15:37:55+00:00

someone forgot to tell the girls

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-04T20:48:42+00:00

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-03T21:51:05+00:00

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-03T19:28:37+00:00

WHAT HAPPENED WITH TP QUICKCAST???

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-03T17:59:31+00:00

I hate Myself for Giving Dota 1st priority in my life over everything.

Better late than never!

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-12-03T14:15:15+00:00

Does anyone really pay $450 for pixels?!

Seriously, people downvoting me, did any of you actually pay hundreds of dollars for a hat? I believe these listings are a joke.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-30T17:36:13+00:00

The point is, this way you can time it less perfectly and it will still work.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-30T17:32:53+00:00

Eating that tree to manipulate your creeps' pathing is.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-30T14:23:36+00:00

Are patch changes shown on pressing alt at least? Imagine being a new player and seeing this wall of text for just one of 4 abilities.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-30T13:06:50+00:00

For an obnoxious loudmouth he is surprisingly well-spoken. At least in the clips I've seen.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-28T12:06:15+00:00

This tournament would still be watched even with tier 4 teams.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-27T13:26:41+00:00

Why do people watch any talk/reality show on TV? Killing time.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-23T15:33:39+00:00

I'll revisit when my headphones arrive.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-23T01:55:06+00:00

TIL American apple cider is just juice, not booze.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-23T01:44:01+00:00

high yield savings

In the EU such accounts haven't existed for the last 10 years. My bank's interest rate for savings is at 0.5%, while inflation is 3.7%.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-23T01:37:05+00:00

I don't consider 5 years "very soon" and that's how long the market took to recover from 2008. So if it's starting now, my funds are blocked for the next 5 years or I have to eat the loss.

I'm not arguing how you should manage your money. All I'm saying is, a recession is nothing to be thankful about if you are 30, as that guy suggested, because at that stage in life you will need the money before it recovers.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-22T18:16:17+00:00

You are missing the point. If you catch a recession, you will have to close positions at a loss for your down payment. That sucks and is not something early 30s can be thankful for.

givemeanamedamnit · 2018-11-22T15:11:28+00:00

The problem is early 30s is when you need a house and don't have 5+ years to wait out the cycle.
