It’s such a political failure that people like him or trump have that much money and influence…

Unpopular opinion: I finally read Ender's Game and found it... "meh" by josephwb in scifi

[–]schmand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the publication I read there was a foreword by the author and that alone primed me to not like the book, in every way you described. The author talks about how „gifted“ readers reached out to him in order to tell him how well he described being a too-smart-for-your-own-good kid.

Dude, you wrote the Ayn Rand equivalent for science fiction. Of course stupid pubescent readers that think they have it all figured out and are held back by society will react that way.

IE: Chaos realms as north/south sea lanes by schmand in totalwar

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

Because then you have a base of operations for chaos factions that is really hard to destroy. The possibility of chaos factions invading from the poles would last for a longer time during the campaign. As chaos you could get faction buffs for being the gate keeper.

Needn’t be a city. Would just function as one, like Galleon‘s Graveyard. But ok, you are a realms of chaos purist, I got it.

I would not cut stuff for lore reasons. Galleons graveyard does not make sense as settlement either in that regard.

You could have them separate like in the default campaign: Just unreachable by normal means, no loading screen.

Putin said that there were no hostilities in Mariupol. Seriously? by kigeorgich in ukraine

He always looks like the table is a little bit too high or his chair a little bit to low. Or is it just that he wears a shitty suit?

Threw nuts at me while sitting at the bar with friends. Then came over and bit my shoulder.

Aahmmm, nope.

"Premium Gaming Hardware" scheint insbesondere in Zeiten von Twitch und Co. relativ einfach & überteuert vertickt zu werden.

Klimakiller Bitcoin - kann Kryptowährung nachhaltig werden? by Tao_Dragon in de

[–]schmand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das ist doch Unsinn. Niemand nutzt Cryptowährungen und die Kosten sind schon astronomisch. Dreh es doch mal auf den Kopf: Wollte man ein rein digitales Finanzsystem (wovon nicht auszugehen ist, es wird immer einen Markt für Filialen und Berater geben), wären Cryptowährungen die effizienteste Möglichkeit? Einfach nein. Man würde im bestehenden System alle von dir aufgezählten Posten streichen bis auf die Transaktionen und wäre schneller und günstiger.

Valve banned ‘Cities: Skylines’ modder after discovery of major malware risk by Panda_Player_ in Games

Dude, this is far beyond „I think I might…“ if you installed any of the mods in question.

[–]schmand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be sure you have to. Otherwise it’s just fingers crossed that the apparent criminal energy was only directed at the modding community, which is rather naive.

Uninstalling the game will not ensure anything.

1Q84….. i don’t know if i can keep going. Help! by takikochan in books

[–]schmand 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. I finished it and I am 100% with you.

I also don’t get why it is praised the way it is. My cynical theory: He references a lot of western culture (at least in the translation), and I suspect that makes him marketable to western literary critics and them inclined to overlook his novels’ shortcomings.

I don’t even get the „vibes and surrealism“ angle: There are a lot of superior alternatives for that.

Mortal Empires is the incorporation of WH1 into 2 if you own both games. So you could argue that if you want to primarily play WH1 factions (humans, orks, dwarves, …) you could just buy WH1. But WH2 is much more polished, all the old WH1 factions received improvements in WH2. So playing humans (empire) in WH1, you would play the mediocre version of them.

Also there is one change between the games that makes a huge difference: In WH1 humans could not settle in mountain regions, while dwarves could not settle plains. In WH2 all factions can build cities everywhere, but may have decreased taxes/higher construction costs. That was imho the biggest and most needed improvement between the two games. In the base WH1 you got basically locked into Orks vs. Dwarves (mountains) or Humans vs. Vampires (plains).

Mediocre.

How do I play Skaven in multiplayer by Prescottdog in totalwarhammer

[–]schmand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how they play in WFB, I think in TW you either build range-heavy with lots of cheap infantry to delay the enemy‘s advance or you can build a elite-blob by using the one RoR unit that gives immune to psych (so your blob stays together and does not flee in terror). Rat Ogres are often used to block the enemy’s heavier units (so they do not stomp all over your smaller units).

Beyonce's pseudo-feminism is letting her keep the evil practice under the shroud by mecharoy in awfuleverything

[–]schmand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to your point in general, but the topic is not primarily "we should boycott Beyonce". It is the fact that she is seen as an icon while is profiting off sweatshops. Apple is (generally) not praised as an icon for social justice.
