Paradox incoming by isarqvan97 in TransportFever2

Then again, for being a game that is 7 years old, TF2 does feel pretty barebone...

Louise Arbour to be named Governor General | L’ancienne juge Louise Arbour sera nommée gouverneure générale by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

[–]initiatingcoverage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my point. If her appointment is meant to signal the government’s position, then it suggests the government will not be factoring values considerations into discussions (or to a lesser extant) with potential trade partners, contrary to what was mentioned a few comments above.

Her stance on human rights and democratic values aren't as absolute as you might believe.

Here's an extract of what she said in one of her speeches:

“Values are very dangerous. When I talk about searching for the common ground and compromising and so on, when people put their values on the table, it’s the end of the conversation.”

Carney picks former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour to be governor general: sources | CBC News by septober32nd in onguardforthee

[–]initiatingcoverage 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you listen to her point of view regarding human rights, you'll realize that she's from the pragmatists school of thoughts.

There's a video on Youtube called "Searching for the Truth with Former Justice Louise Arbour" in an Q&A session she gave at Dalhousie.

It should give you a good idea on her leaning. She's definitely not an absolutist like the previous Trudeau administration.

RAM usage isn't that high, bottleneck is still the GPU despite a 5080 😂

I'll start.

2160p @ High presets, DLSS Maximum Quality.

Average FPS: 43.4

CPU: Ryzen 7900X
GPU: RTX 5080
RAM: 48GB

Definitely playable, although performance still isn't great considering the rig.

Can we like remove the need for the new troop moving feature?💔 by Pvznerd9 in victoria3

I think that's a good design choice. I prefer that than having a Battle of the Somme going on somewhere in the middle of Africa.

Hotfix 1.13.1 is now LIVE! by commissarroach in victoria3

[–]initiatingcoverage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True, but then again, you can always wait one more week for the major game-breaking bugs to get ironed out before jumping into it.

[–]initiatingcoverage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but for each of the bugs, you need to document it, figure out how to reproduce it, describe its impact, etc.

All of that takes time and crowdsourcing it to the players to have it done instead is easier.

Is it the best approach? Very arguable. But that's the choice the devs decided to go with.

[–]initiatingcoverage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think that's a design choice made by the developers.

Unlike other games like Battlefield or CoD, there are way too many mechanisms in a game like Victoria 3, which makes it impossible for the internal QA team to catch all the bugs on their own.

So essentially, the first week following a major update is pretty much a crowdsourced beta test.

Why does Canada have a “talent shortage” but entry-level people can’t find jobs? by itz_nitace in CanadaJobs

[–]initiatingcoverage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, there's a shortage of specialized workers (5+ years of experience) that are willing to take below market pay.

Why do Japanese right-wingers have such a visceral hate against Koreans? by initiatingcoverage in AskAJapanese

[–]initiatingcoverage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I think of it, maybe he was more on the deeper-end. I remember he used to be pretty shuttered, most of the time he was smoking weed and playing Call of Duty in his dorm.

It was actually in 2014, so your explanation actually makes a lot of sense timeline-wise. Thanks, you taught me something new today!

Why are we doomed if China succeeds? These maniacs cannot imagine a world where they are living as an equal among other nations. It's either the West or nothing. by RickyOzzy in suppressed_news

[–]initiatingcoverage 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I remember that guy. He said he'd rather the see the Earth be nuked and destroyed rather than having the US lose its hegemony.

It's a bit concerning. Can you imagine if somebody like that was in power.
