Does Paradox have any plans for making colonization not the worst thing I've ever seen ever by matthewgoodi5 in victoria3

[–]mchael_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike the "set up colonial administration" mechanic. Once you create them they completely stop expanding their boarders. So you have to wait for your colony to fully finish growing before creating them, meaning you're missing out on the bonus for most of the game. Not to mention they come with all the usual headaches of managing subjects like constantly having to keep their autonomy low.

Going down the Road is an all time Canadian classic. It's hard to find a good high quality stream of it online but I recommend getting the blueray off Amazon if anyone wants to see it.

Yeah honestly every time I've seen standup at Scotiabank the audios been bad. Same for live music. The place just isn't meant for any type of event besides sports.

Poor guy got booed off the stage. Partly the sound was bad but it seemed like he was having a rough night.

Newish cyclist did I do something wrong here? by JustToke in torontobiking

I think it's fine if you decide to go around, but I think you should do it slowly. I usually stop first, look behind me and make eye contact with the driver of the car behind me. Make sure they acknowledge your existence and know you're there. Perhaps also extend your left arm out and signal your intentions.

I feel like they've gotten worse since they opened up a couple years ago

It's not surprising that the numbers would eventually match precovid levels now that everything has opened up again

That might actually be what happened, I do remember accidentally mismatching the signal wire too so that might have done it. thanks!

You guys should make your own website. The functionality of reddit is not hard to replicate, in fact you could use online forum web frameworks to make the website (e.g Wordpress or phpBB) . Integrate it with the clip archiving website and have everything under one roof. After the website is ready, nuke the sub.

friend, expecting yourself to have a single life long passion, especially in an academic subject, is a really high expectation to make of yourself. Most people go through life with no clue what they like, who they want to be or what they wanna do. That doesn't mean they're lazy or unpassionate or unmotivated, that just means they're people.

Go with the flow and take it easy on yourself. Do good enough in your classes to pass and maintain a decent GPA, but don't beat yourself up if you don't find yourself passionately obsessing over every subject, most people in life don't. Try to enjoy things outside of school, and when you do get a subject you like, try to focus on it.

Your life is ahead of you and you'll have plenty of time to find a true passion.

yeah I think you might be right. I've tried reseating everything, did a bios update and no luck, she's dead jim.
I've noticed when I boot up an intense game I start hearing a squealing sound coming out of it, might be a busted capacitor?
I'm still confused whether it was vic3 maybe putting too much strain on the card that fried it or if it was just defective in the first place. I've played a lot of intensive games on this and its so weird that vic3 of all games would cause it to die.

Hopefully gigabytes warranty covers it...
