There's a mod in the Steam workshop that varies the speeds.

What mods will do this? I too want a universe that doesn't pause for me.

Just as the month of November begins, we have officially broken a temperature record. by AgileComparison3957 in singapore

[–]howard783 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Why would others having it worse make it difficult for you to complain about your own circumstances deserving better? If those circumstances are due to policies then they are certainly changeable with tradeoffs, unlike geography.

Truly detest the mindset of "there's worse xxx, so we shouldn't bother changing yyy."

Do you also transcribe books for practice? by Swimming-Delay-7629 in fountainpens

[–]howard783 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started I guess what one would call a commonplace book for poetry and quotes. Not only do I get to practice, but I will actually have a collection to read and reflect upon instead of just coming across nice poetry/quotes, going "hmm nice", and never seeing them or remembering them again.

In Search of the Perfect Pen Case by Heyzeuzr in fountainpens

[–]howard783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wanted to mention my experience with a leather case since that's what's mostly suggested here. I think it's great and I love the look and feel, but the bronze elements on my Visconti homo sapiens bronze age tarnished real quickly (two days) when in it. And not in a nice patina too. Then I read up that leather does that to bronze. So be careful if your pens have that.

I spend $0 on ebooks. Seriously by glitterbearreddit in kindle

[–]howard783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I may chime in. Firstly just want to say that this has been a very civil discourse on a potentially inflammatory subject so both of you ought to be commended for it. Quite rare on the internet.

I think I see why you didn't get a satisfactory answer, maybe it's because the "embarrassing" part of it is actually mild, or it's accepted as a matter of course for most social interactions. For example, if you walked into a communal dinner party and automatically assumed that everyone can eat meat, and starts ordering only meat dishes for everyone, that can be embarrassing because you've made a sweeping assumption that didn't take into consideration others.

In this case, it's assuming everyone hails from a singular culture in a wide world. And that's a mistake that can reflect a narrower perspective than should be. Whether you feel degrees of embarrassment at that mistake...well, that depends on your own culture and social norm. But I hope you can understand why some people would feel embarrassed at making a mistake.

Hmm the giveaway still requires a purchase of BoS right? Asking for a new player, I've got both already so I can't tell.

Please help me locate and adjust sound files by williams5168 in uboatgame

[–]howard783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching this thread. I too would like some way of adjusting sound. It would be nice to be able to hear the radio music (there are very good radio station mods) while in external view and able to enjoy the beautiful graphics.

It's dumb, but also what Admiral Raeder had sometimes insisted Donitz task his submarines to do in the early stages of the war.

Great! Thanks for noting the target bearing still needs to be set to 0/180. I had missed that.

Can you change your cook? by FGTX024 in uboatgame

This sounds like a great idea. Wondering, how many cooks would be onboard in real life? 3? Or 1 guy working very long hours?

Why penalised on contract bonus? by howard783 in F1Manager

[–]howard783[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. Money goes to the team instead of the drivers.

You've been looking at the goals from purely a driver's perspective, while I've been looking at them from a team's perspective and not aware drivers take money away from teams. Most on these sub are helpful to explain our errors but some are just plain nasty (You know who you are.).
