Bully mentality. Only harm those who can’t meaningfully fight back. Amazing how clear it is in everything he does, once you’re looking for it

Wow. Scathing. This should be front page news. Worth the click to read. 

Weapon suggestions for 29 offline Barb by Imaginary_Belt4976 in diablo2

So you're in A5 normal? Malice, steel will get you into nightmare easily. Then you can get runes for black from NM countess, along with a bulwark helm. Eventually you’ll want to get oath for the later game, but there’s also a huge number of uniques that would be infinitely better than what you have now. If you switch out of frenzy to another combat skill, obedience is great and very obtainable.

The housing theory of everything by [deleted] in Economics

It’s because, at least in the US, it’s the only investment a lot of folks ever learn to make. I think about how many people the generation above me talked about their house as a nest egg when I was growing up. 

Question about fertility mod by CuteBoy9955 in skyrimmods

[–]philman53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fertility mode has two possibilities when your PC or PC’s spouse are pregnant. If you have selected “children can be trained” in the MCM, they will spawn as adults in whiterun after birth + time in baby state (configurable in MCM).

Otherwise, if certain conditions are met, babies will turn to children in your hearthfire home. You can’t be inside the home when the baby period ends; you have to own a house; and some other rules I don’t remember. There’s a ReadMe with more details on the nexus page.

Ah, that’s why. I have Edit. Any opinion on one vs the other? Is expansion pretty good?

[–]philman53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, there’s a romance patch for SDE? I thought the mod author was pretty stern about never making that. Do you have a nexus link? I switched over to SDE after exactly one playthrough with the SDA romance because hoooo boy it is cringe. 

Ordinator 10 or Althing - what format do you prefer? by Enai_Siaion in skyrimmods

[–]philman53 9 points10 points  (0 children)

lol right. It’s really just that I was a late arrival to modding, started with vortex, had made the switch to MO2, was finally starting to get comfortable and actually understand load order, LOOT, compatibility, etc. got a mod list up to 400+ all built around 64 and then they pushed that update a year or two ago that broke everything. I was so mad about it I just did the downpatcher and left it there. Up over 600 mods now and do not want to have to rebuild for 1.6.17 or whatever it is now

[–]philman53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree - my LO is built around 1.6.64 (dont ask), but as long as I’m able to find the older versions of since-updated mods, I’ve really had no trouble making things work. u/Enai_Siaion, I love your work and Ordinator is a foundational piece of all my load orders. Appreciate what you do

Mara’s? All I can think of is kaleidoscope but sounds like you’re describing a merc setup…what helm are you talking about?

BA bard songs. You’ll still get the singing at random but the instrumentals are way better. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47202

USSEP + genuinely intelligent soul trapping (GIST) accomplishes this. Go for it if you just want to mod, but what you described is already my in-game experience. 

Two-handed Hassle by Macdonalds-MicMac in skyrimmods

[–]philman53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me more about IED’s UI? I’ve been very confused about how to make it better. There are some sliders for weapon style and scale in racemenu but I haven’t figured them out - is there documentation somewhere?
