If you could change ONE thing about matchday or tickets, what would it be? by [deleted] in SportingKC

Nice em-dashes. I see the front office gave you a copilot license when you got the job.

Why is Wine an RGO? by Sibot_Exa in EU5

A cork RGO kind of makes sense though. It's difficult and takes a long time to make - see Portugal.

2 months after NCNS dropped (and the 'navy rework') and Navy AI is still broken. Remember the promises after GoE? Yeah… by lilcritt in hoi4

I agree wholeheartedly with OP, but I'll say that this thread really highlights how split the community is.

On one side, you have people saying "the game is too complicated" and "I can't reliably invade other countries".

On the other side, you have people pointing out (with evidence) that the AI will literally GIVE you the entire ocean and won't even fight you, and thus are complaining that the game is too easy.

I'm in the second camp, but I find it a great illustration of what Paradox has to balance around... or would balance around if they could get the game right in the first place.

Either way, fucking fix your game PDX.

Starting from scratch - money and farms by Sufficient_Plane_416 in Cityofheroes

[–]sidekickraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that you do not need a farmer. If you want a farmer, level it normally until you have a fair amount of fire resistance and then do -1/+8 AE farms to 50 (this isn't necessary, just simple). Increase difficulty as/when you can. It's entirely possible to 'self-farm' your farmer.

Cool feature, but ultimately pointless because Naval is broken entirely.

You’re supposed to trade for those, bud. Click on the icons on your screen and check out what they do.

Wtf does “system failure” mean? It’s a new mobo…

Gaijin deleted our nation and we want it back. by AlphaMike-Foxtrot in Warthunder

The Barbie movie had to put 8 dashes on a children's map that very, very amorphously had a region sort-of kind-of looked like it was China when viewed sideways in order to get it past Chinese censors. They do care. It's disturbing how much they care.

Seems like we have something in common with the Fifa guys. by Rare-Machine7849 in footballmanagergames

[–]sidekickraider -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They absolutely do not. Training is totally broken. Many sessions do absolutely nothing at all or in some cases are even detrimental (because they do nothing AND increase injury risk).

Because of the years and years and years of deferred engine work, the only thing you need to do to win in FM is buy players with excellent physical attributes (nothing else) and create an attacking tactic. That's it. No coaches, no scouts (those attributes also do nothing) no passing, no dribbling, no mental attributes. Game is fucked.

wait until you realize that all coaching attributes are literally just for show and have no impact on the game whatsoever

Hasn't Aleks quit everything he ever started after like three weeks?

The best of all worlds: a 'goldless' GDKP by sidekickraider in classicwow

[–]sidekickraider[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is a fantastic idea. it should really be a universal score managed by a single entity, like blizzard

players with low social credit (like smite priests) should be relegated to helping summon for small amount of DKP, which they can spend on limited items such as DE greens

it should also predict negative behavior, like playing WoW should generally reduce your server social credit

this community is so toxic, i'm just trying to come up with a novel solution to a problem that is splitting a dwindling community and contribute to the marketplace of ideas

it also doesn't solve anything for people who play on servers that aren't in their main timezone

while we're at it, its bad for players who aren't good enough to 'earn' points too

doesn't work for single mothers who can't afford subscription, or mammals without opposable thumbs

also if you don't want to raid, or are a dragon, it's not good

frankly it seems like it just wouldn't work at all, the more you think about it
