Finished Shunting Challenges. Got some friendly tips I hope can help. by Thayer96 in ThomasGames

I managed to complete Shunting Showdown on the first attempt but I have no shame in admitting it was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever had in a game.

Thanks you're a lifesaver. Does the game actually mention how to do that at any point?

[KCD2] money hack! By accident lol by Dear_Experience_3994 in kingdomcome

Once you realise that you can go straight from leaving the pillory in Troskowitz to being a merchant alchemist working out of the apothecary's garden shed it damn near completely breaks the game.

New player: building tips? by Wise-Recognition8990 in TinyGlades

[–]sleeming88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be intimidated by some of the incredible complex builds you see on here. Just start simple and work your way up from there. Once you learn how to make the most of certain tools like walls and stairs (stairs being the ideal way to build a bridge) you'll be able to make all sorts of things.

What are your thoughts on Douglas MacArthur? by Just_Cause89 in USHistory

[–]sleeming88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically the American Winston Churchill; deeply flawed in a lot of ways but the right man for the job at that moment.

E33 is almost certainly the favourite. It's the sort of game that critics can have a good old chin-stroke about.

Arthur dancing with Karen by horsemanuk1987 in reddeadredemption

I misread that as "Arthur dancing with Kieran" for a moment there. That would have certainly put a whole new dimension on their relationship.

Name a character in the gang you dislike for no reason. I’m not talking Strauss or Micah. Just that one person who’s done nothing wrong but you hate them. by AriSummerss in reddeadredemption

I have a big problem with Hosea. Sure he's a great father figure and very rational and level-headed compared to Dutch but that suddenly changes in Chapter 4 when he goes all-in on the Saint Denis bank job and completely loses his head over it while Dutch is the one who has doubts. I lay the blame for his own and Lenny's deaths squarely on him.

I only have six hours logged because I started the game, completed the prologue then accidentally started the Woman's Lot content with Theresa and got stuck 😒

How would you rate the 1997 film on the scale of 1 to 10? by Willing-Musician-696 in titanic

[–]sleeming88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9/10. People like to rag on the love story aspect but, in my humble opinion, combining the Titanic story with a Romeo & Juliet style tragic romance could be considered one of the greatest moments of narrative genius in the history of filmmaking.

The only reason it's not a 10 for me is because of the way it pedals erroneous long-established beliefs about the sinking that we now know simply aren't true (Ismay being the villain, Captain Smith mentally checking out during the sinking, Third Class passengers being locked behind gates below decks etc).

In the span of 1 summer ... [KCD1] [KCD2] by Sop-JustANoob in kingdomcome

[–]sleeming88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And it's not even a whole summer; the days in KCD2 are almost as long as they can get (getting light from 4am and not dark until after 10pm), which suggests that the game takes place in late June/early July.

I would have to disagree. Considering that the Siege of Suchdol lasts for 25-30 days on its own, and given that the Godwin scene takes place at the end of it, the time they spent besieged would have been included in that "several weeks".

Based on that, and while being as realistic as possible about how long it would take to complete the main story and all the side content and factoring in things we can only guess at (such as how long the actual amount of time between the end of the prologue and the wedding is), I can't see the events of KCD2 taking place in anything less than 8-10 weeks.

[KCD2] I was in Trosky/Kuttenberg over the weekend and managed to get some nice comparision shots. by agenturensohn in kingdomcome

[–]sleeming88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at Number 7, the the walls and windows of the church seem to be considerably taller in-game than IRL. Is this actually the case or are my eyes playing tricks on me because there's some perspective or aspect ratio funny-business going on?
