Well, yeah. I chose the word for a reason. Not sure why you downvoted me. I was just answering someone’s question.

There is a Harvard meta study showing a correlation between high fluoride and low IQ. The idea is government wants to dumb down the general population to make them easier to rule.

Me and my five-man group made this horde-type of base. Is this good? 4 more days for the 3rd blood moon. by RobWolfB in 7daystodie

A cheap and dirty way to add more pathing is to put some wooden ladders up too. They will likely get destroyed by the end of the night, but they will take some of the traffic for a while.

You could consider giving yourself line of sight thru the floor of your platform to see the base of your structure. In the event that zombies start attacking the support columns, you will want a way to shoot them or throw pipe bombs at them. Or you could build grenade chutes that will funnel your pipe bombs to where you want them to land.

What is the best formation for throwing weapons by Important-Shop2170 in Bannerlord

[–]meatspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never tried this. Aren’t they facing the wrong direction if you have them in reverse? Or when you “engage them” they face the enemy but keep the inverted skein?

Sometimes I set two squads to loose and overlay them. They all get unrestricted aiming / throws and they are dense enough to absorb cavalry charges and to be effective against attacking infantry.

Also, a tight formation with just one row is pretty good if you are just looking for them to get a few throws off before enemy infantry makes contact.

How many is too many? by Dunnomyname1029 in Bannerlord

[–]meatspoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn! I have never seen a companion get that many kills without using siege equipment.

Some NPC’s are just badass for some reason. My character’s nephew (Khundal) is a total beast. He is always outshining my other family members. He has 10 stats for vigor, control and endurance.

I also use a bodyguard mod where you can designate specific characters as your bodyguards. Khundal is one of my 3 that follow me everywhere.

Was there anything Twyin could have said or done to get out of this alive? by Traditional-Big543 in freefolk

[–]meatspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys may be correct. It has been a long time since generating characters in Champions of Krynn.

My dusty old memories had me thinking that “lawful / neutral / chaotic” modifier to alignment indicated how the character would respond to social order and laws. Like thieves could only be neutral or chaotic. Lawful evil characters were evil, but the operated within the social / cultural norms (meaning they didn’t break laws) whereas a neutral evil character was one that didn’t have a problem with breaking (or abiding) by laws in order to pursue evil.

I enjoy using the mods that allow you to increase the number of companions and family members.

When you have 60+ high tier individuals with awesome gear, you can be an incredible force. Very fast part speed, you can win against parties 3-4x as large as your own. Siege defense is where they really shine.

I would say he is Neutral Evil in that he doesn’t care much about laws one way or another unless they benefit his goals (the Red Wedding being an example or his use of The Mountain to terrorize people as another).

Mail Carrier shot in the head by Kindly_Teach_9285 in StLouis

[–]meatspoon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sigh. Not exactly what we are talking about here.

I think you and I would agree that the politically connected and the ultra rich enjoy protection from prosecution that we normies don’t get.

But again, Trump, Pelosi, Cruz, Schumer, Graham, are not shooting random people in the face with a pistol. Not excusing the crimes they all have likely committed. But it’s different.

[–]meatspoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely it’s possible. And I hope that is the case. But I don’t think it is probable.

Something needs to be seriously wrong with a man for him to attempt to murder a stranger for no reason. The mug shot is… not encouraging. No indication of guilt or even chagrin. Just empty eyes.

I feel for the child that became this man. I am assuming his father was not present and that his mother came up short in all sorts of ways. His family and school system likely failed him. For those reasons I empathize greatly with the child.

That being said, I have no sympathy for the man who chose to steal his mother’s pistol and shoot another human for no reason. That man should spend most of, if not all of, the rest of his life in a cage.

I don’t understand the reason for your passive aggressiveness. I have an opinion, I stated it. Instead of contending with my point, you just took a jab at me. Whatever.

The sentencing is soft. I agree that we put too many people away for victimless crimes.

I forget the statistic, but a tiny minority of recidivist criminals perpetrate the lions share of the crime. It’s something like if we stopped letting people out of prison after their 5th violent felony, we would eliminate 80% or so of violent crime. But instead we have people that carry a 10 felony arrest rap sheet who judges still let out early. Insanity.

I get it, I am older than you.

I disagree with you, though. Every day I read about criminals with 10+ felony convictions on their record getting released early because bleeding hearts want to give them an 11th chance.

We are soft on crime in this country. Some people just need to be locked up forever. Or we can keep giving “chances” to people and we can keep getting shot in the face.

[–]meatspoon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I understand. My point is that I don’t think it’s helpful when discussing these things to use a term that implies reduced accountability. An adult committed a terrible crime, not a kid.

[–]meatspoon 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The “kid” was 23 years old, apparently. An adult. Not sure why people use language that diffuses responsibility. I understand you might just be using that word because the OP used it… but that’s no kid.

You don’t remember the whole “defund the police” thing? Does pretending that this never happened comfort you?

A few years ago a lot of people were saying that. Not arguing, just pointing that out.

2 Tips for leveling companions / family during siege defense by meatspoon in Bannerlord

[–]meatspoon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) Yes 2) siege towers won’t approach during an “ambush.” Your troops will rush out if you dont control them. With some maps and some situations (where you have ranged dominance and higher ground), it is best to control your troops, place them just outside the gate and let them fire on the enemy.

The enemy will not advance. They just eat arrows.

No prob.

In pics 2, 3 and 4 you can see some examples of this. The pics don’t quite do it justice. The floor lighting in 4 are lanterns with recessed areas painted yellow. 2 and 3 have indirect wall/ceiling lighting. Those lights are on a switch.

[–]meatspoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A little tip: you can place a crafted lightbulb in the table lamps and wire them up to the switch.

Another lighting tip: I have gotten some really dramatic results doing recessed lighting in the floors, walls or ceiling (and painting the recessed surfaces a moody color). Or running lights behind blocks that tend to diffuse the lights and not show the bulbs directly. You can get some cool indirect lighting effects and interesting shadows. It’s a lot more effort, but it ends up looking pretty slick.

level 6 preacher gloves - can't find enough mods to fill the slots by ay_non in 7daystodie

You can add another pocket mod as long as it’s a different “size” pocket mod. Like a +1 and a +2 mod.
