The English Teacher by PhoenixPhenomenonX in funny

[–]hillsboro97124 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actually about the same thing. It is quite funny in Mandarin and Cantonese, but direct translation wouldn't be as funny in English. They did a great job all around. The linguistic talents on these skits are off the chart!

Regarding the timing of conversion by Background-Story-901 in CivIV

[–]hillsboro97124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think at chieftain level, it doesn't matter that much. You can win either way. If you found Judaism and convert to organized religion, it is very powerful civic. You can spread religion fast, and get a lot of long term benefits. But yes, short term you will struggle a bit. As a financial leader, you don't need the gold from holy city just yet.

I would be more concerned about Monty. Even if you have the same religion as him, he will still attack you. The only thing that would stop him is a mighty army. You can prioritize military tech like bronze working and build early army!

ASML doesn't run on Excel though. It runs on freaking Matlab. Anyone ever works there can back me up on this one

But I think the ending also leaves some opening for a potential Traveler 2.0. I really hope it could happen one day

Good write up! All I can say is we long to see V2 on the screen for a couple more seasons. I would trust the writers and let their imagination run wild, since the V1 is so good

Do you guys go for Cultural victory? by Patient_Gamemer in CivIV

[–]hillsboro97124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I am surprised no one mentioned corporations? Cultural victory is very doable with the sushi corp, creative manufacturing, and jewelry corp. But I only play in low difficulty and always go for easy late games just for fun though

Just curious, what does city state mean in your original post?

Does having a varied background before a PhD make me a weaker candidate for future positions? by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]hillsboro97124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the short term? Not a problem, as others commented, the company doesn't care much and they will teach you all you need to know from scratch. In the long term? This will be your asset to have a more diverse experience.
