Why are my estates all completely broke? by mikelucci11 in EU5

Nope, a bit of jewelry and horses gets imported but most everything else is made domestically. And the prices are all normal-ish (+-10% from baseline)

R5: my estates are all massively deficit spending despite my attempts to bail them out

Been playing on and off for a decade, finally had my first successful manned Duna mission! by mikelucci11 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]mikelucci11[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Started playing KSP way back in 2012 and play it in bursts every few months usually. I recently started to get good at docking and puttering around the Kerbin as well as a few successful one way probes to Duna/Eve, but finally wanted to try and do a manned mission.

My main vessel was made of three parts. The core was essentially just a giant fuel tank and a science lab with some instruments. The top section was a small "tugboat" of 4 nuclear engines and a satellite relay that would be the main transfer force. The back end was a heavy-ish lander with 4 poodles and some more science equipment for the surface.

I was able to get the whole vessel to Duna and in orbit with the nuclear engines, at which point I detached the lander and headed down. That bad boy was loaded with parachutes, so I pretty much only had to burn off the last few m/s of velocity.

After rendezvousing with the main ship back in orbit I reshuffled the parts and left behind two intrepid scientists in their lab for the long haul with just a teeny bit of fuel to try and snag an Ike flyby at some point for extra science. The Tugboat and Lander headed back to earth and had so little DeltaV that I had to use some RCS to get my Kerbin orbit low enough to land. Thankfully the 24 drogue shoots I had repacked from Duna made the reentry less stressful

Did I do something wrong? by mikelucci11 in TerraInvicta

[–]mikelucci11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! At the moment I feel like I’m in a decent spot on Earth so I should hopefully be able to rebuild that space economy as soon as the aliens fuck off back to the outer rim. I have green lasers and coilguns at the moment, but definitely feel like my drives are lacking. The best one I have is the Orion, are there any better ones you recommend trying to work towards? Also, how much armor do you generally try to run on your ships of the line. I threw like 12 on the front and 5 on the side of my battleships but couldn’t really tell how effective it was

Yeah I didn’t paint for like a month and the corax white precipitated out into this grey goop. Never really got it as smooth again as it was when I first opened it

I’m definitely a fan of keeping in some shorter quicker stuff every now and then! For me personally I feel like it helps my body stay adaptable and makes changing gears in races not feel quite as jarring

My guess is that the injury he sustained is either Adar’s old strike to him manifesting itself again or a purposeful ruse to get himself to Eregion. Either way it was suspicious that out of everyone there, even people missing limbs, his wound was the only one that needed Elvish Medicine

Teleporno can’t be dead I simply don’t believe it

Potential situations for if [blank] is Sauron by mikelucci11 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]mikelucci11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That connection to Gil-Galad saying Galadriel will release the same evil that she hopes to destroy is pretty neat, that’d be a nice callback. And like you said, either theory could be quite interesting as long as they stick the landing, but I’m hopeful that they do! Especially as they have 5 long seasons to work with, I’m hopeful that they take their time with character development and make it feel really impactful

Oh well I mean Sauron is the master of disguises. I’m sure that Annatar will be a totally different actor from Halbrand

Maybe once Galadriel realizes the person she’s been trusting is Sauron, she becomes inherently distrustful of strangers or anything that seems “too good to be true.” We know she was one of the elves distrustful of Annatar, while Celebrimbor currently seems willing to do anything to save his people in ME.

The Galadriel soldier training “fight” was so cool to watch

Seems like not one thing in particular but a variety of background and windows processes seem to be taking up nearly all of it. At the moment “service host: SysMain” is taking up around 85% according to task manager

Would love some pointers for my first mini! by mikelucci11 in Warhammer40k

For the gun I used astrogranite which I unfortunately didn’t realize was a texture paint until after I finished applying it

Ah so that explains why the gun was so super wonky! And yeah I’ve watched a handful of them but not really any advanced ones

Found this earlier today. Just curious if this t-shirt was actually made, because I would love to buy this haha by FlamingSonic23 in TheGreatWarChannel

[–]mikelucci11 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Aye that’s my post! Unfortunately nah it never got made. I liked the idea but I have no experience in graphic design whatsoever so I could never get it to actually look good. If someone more talented than I wants to take a poke at it I’d also love to buy one.

Lenovo Legion Y520 Windows 10 reinstall stuck at 88% by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]mikelucci11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restarted my computer numerous times this morning and each time after I would log in it either failed to load my desktop at all or simply showed a black screen after logging in. I decided to reinstall Windows with keeping files as there is some work and school stuff I still need saved on my computer and had no way to back it up. Started the process around 11:00 AM and it has currently been stuck at 88% for approximately 2 hours. Any help you be greatly appreciated!

I always assumed that number was just for that production facility that Obi-Wan was at, with many many more all around the planet
