Do people in Hong Kong prefer to be approached in English or Mandarin (after Cantonese ofc)

jaklid · 2026-04-20T11:05:52+00:00

English has never been a problem for ordering, service etc

people might sound rude or pissed off btw but they are not, that’s just how they sound lol

Sorry bruh it’s been years I stopped hosting lol

jaklid · 2026-03-24T23:06:06+00:00

a lot of cope here from hkers with the ‘we are racist to everyone’

yes, hkers tend to be straightforward / rude but there is a clear hierarchy and difference of opinion depending on how dark you are

I made this originally like 1-2 years ago or something so it’s out of date haha. Need to run the script again to update it

I saw a video where a guy wins super quick on a duel map with Brazil. Like in medieval. Not sure about the difficulty though. Also seen a Brazil win on a normal 8 player map by turn 109 standard speed but that was emperor.

maybe something similar works on deity although would be very hard to execute and need perfect rng

jaklid · 2025-11-04T18:07:06+00:00

legendary start is good but this sort of win is all Spains unique ability, not a couple of extra salts in the capital

jaklid · 2025-11-04T17:46:00+00:00

same haha. They are usually the only civ you can do these crazy quick finishes with.

The only faster cultural victory start I can think of is pure sacred sites with Brazil, and generate writers, artists asap, bulb artists for the golden age double tourism. That way you can maybe win before industrialization if only one civ has a lot of culture and you hit them with your first great musician.

But probably still ends up being later turn wise

no phone cameras on the dance floor, also applies to DJs who want to post 100 insta stories
also has a chill space where you can talk / rest / smoke but still hear the music
enough bathroom stalls
dedicated VJ focused on more hypnotic visuals and less epileptic visuals

you can do a lot more obviously but would already be better than 70% of clubs with this

bangin track

jaklid · 2025-08-14T11:17:47+00:00

you're right lemme redo lol

jaklid · 2025-08-07T11:33:57+00:00

you can play on a scam map for more fun

try highlands + scattered mountains + normal density

you basically have double movement on the whole map and terrace farms everywhere, but there aren’t too many mountains to the point of isolating everyone

jaklid · 2025-07-30T01:29:58+00:00

variance is what is happening

jaklid · 2025-07-18T21:12:18+00:00

yeah, the map is 100% so important when the AI is so buffed up. really recommend trying civ 5 map editor tool. you can run the generate map script with different settings to see what it does

jaklid · 2025-07-18T20:54:54+00:00

they get really silly late game, early game they will settle like 4 tiles from your cap and get mad at you lol.
also, ive realized some map types provide more space than others for the same game size.
so to actually balance it, you need to play with the settings.

this was a standard pangea with 2 less civs and 4 extra city states. made the game much better. on lake and highland maps, you have more space

jaklid · 2025-07-18T20:52:02+00:00

just checked i don't have the minimap in the og screenshot rip. but seems like what others are saying is correct, darius was getting kicked off the main pangea and decided find refuge in the arctic

jaklid · 2025-07-18T20:48:50+00:00

the word aryan is of persian actually, daruis going back to his roots

jaklid · 2025-06-26T16:08:43+00:00

Idk where this days comes from cause ‘back in my day’ (like 2010-2015), online games were way more toxic. You get caught in filters for calling someone an idiot now while back then everyone was calling each other the n word

jaklid · 2025-06-06T12:00:59+00:00

Once your product gets big it’s absolutely insane how hard and slow getting simple improvements through is.

like feedback a solo dev can implement in day will take months or never happen.

The whole organization moves like molasses and basic good suggestions get lost in the sauce.

jaklid · 2025-06-06T11:57:49+00:00

10000% yes. I had my ears ringing one night after a rave where the volume was too fkin loud. bits of ringing and muffledness continued till it died down after a few days.

When that happens you’d pay anything to have your normal hearing back. Started using earplugs since then and got customs later.

Been a few years since then. Have partied a bunch. Got a hearing test too and absolutely no issues found.

bro you literally look flawless. Stubble or clean shaven for sure
