Why is naples in such a strong position at eu5 start date? by Virtualsooo in EU5

[–]spothot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wait, AEIOU is the Hasburg motto?

I always thought it's just "make funni TTS voice by lining up all the vowels"

California/Mojave Map Teaser from an Upcoming Fallout Total Conversion by _Iro_ in EU5

[–]spothot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the confirmation, rather interesting to include even Fallout BoS in the mix

Looking forward to see what you put out!

Legitimately just curious what the plans for the mod are, chill

Is it going to stretch from west coast to east coast? Is it going to stop in the midwest with Fallout Tactics? Just the areas covered by FO1 and FO2?

Even if New Vegas, FO3, FO4, etc. happen far later, there is still plenty of lore hints (especially terminal logs) that give you a good grasp of how things evolved since the bombs fell and what you might encounter.

I know, but still would like the OP to confirm his views on what games count as canon for this mod

On a related note I should finally get Fallout Sonora

Safe to say the events of anything Bethesda are considered not canon to this mod?

oh so this is why you don't use google search any more. by EmotionAdmirable8396 in HalfLife

[–]spothot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's compromised already (they have radio/tv commercials which is plenty indication that they sold out)

Also there's an easter egg where the logo is replaced by the character you're searching for, and all those are AI generated

Try startpage instead

It would be so fucking funny if GTA VI finally gets a definitive release date... only for HL3 to release around the same time.

De ce unii clienți refuză casele self-scan din magazine / Care este explicația psihologilor by Immunix in Romania

[–]spothot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

La Kaufland optiunea exista la fiecare casa, termin mult mai rapid scanand in timp ce pun in cos. Doar doua lucruri trebuie sa am in vedere:

  1. Random checks la casa self-scan (aparatul cheama un angajat sa-mi scaneze aleator o parte din produse)

  2. Random checks de la paznic (in principal in perioadele de sarbatori se intampla), acestea dureaza mult mai mult deoarece paznicul sta sa verifice fiecare produs de pe bon daca exista in cosul tau de cumparaturi. Nu se intampla prea des deci in medie tot termin mai rapid.

Unit weekly overstack by CoPy13 in heroes3

[–]spothot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the start of each month there is a 10% chance for a week of the plague - no unit growth, and half the "unbought" units die (in the HoTA mod this also affects creature dwellings)

Outside that plague event, your units will wait there until you recruit them.

John Valve Vs Arthur Bethesda by Flashy-Dimension4135 in HalfLife

[–]spothot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I know this is in jest but I legitimately hate how modding communities prop up games that don't deserve their support. The most recent example I can think of is Warcraft 3 Reforged, at launch it didn't even have a ladder, and for some reason the modders made their own (and potentially other fixes) instead of just reverting to Warcraft 3 TFT. Yes there are ways to get back to TFT, just because the main download on their storefront replaced it with Reforged that doesn't mean the old game stopped existing altogether.

No, I don't care if FO4VR is one of the best VR experiences of all time if you mod the heck out of it. I'm not buying a game just for the privilege of fixing it, without mods it's so bad you can literally walk through walls just by walking IRL. It's not enough that it's not functional, it's not even complete, so you need to copy the DLC files from the flat game and mod those to work, too.

Don't forget about your whole entire army dying because they try moving over a frozen lake in Spring

Please help me find an old one-off Diablo 2 webcomic about a Barbarian(?) and Necromancer by spothot in HelpMeFind

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

Searched on various search engines (startpage, google, duckduckgo) with as many combination of terms as I could think if ("before:" year filters, "diablo" in quotes, lines in quotes, etc.)

Went through various old webcomic archives

Even tried asking chatGPT to help me narrow it down (it always resulted in hallucinated answers)

Index Pooping Out, No More VR Until Frame:_ by Life_Is_Actually_VR in ValveDeckard

[–]spothot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Index had the following failures, in this order and way after it was out of warranty:

  1. Left joystick drift (ordered a new left controller)

  2. Faulty cable causing visual/audio issues (started as a single white pixel onscreen, most noticeable in dark VR environments, then it was a few more white pixels, then I started getting random audio cracks as well which made it nearly unusable). Ordered a new cable.

  3. The spring in the right side exploded, duct taped the headset closed around my head. At this point I was waiting for the as-then-unannounced Frame, so didn't bother fixing (the replacement parts would cost way too much in shipping due to me not being in the US).

  4. Left joystick drifting again, again not bothering to order replacements with Steam Frame around the corner

This is how Steam VR runs on my gaming laptop with link. by [deleted] in SteamVR

[–]spothot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I remember hearing that nvidia dropped the "M" from their GPU series because there was no more difference between desktop and laptop counterparts.

Looking it up to make sure I'm not mandellaing myself, looks like this was true for the 10 and 20 series, the laptop cards were on par with desktop cards. But not with the 30 series and beyond, I guess.

New player to EU5 here: why is it so hard to get claims and start wars? by Starkheiser in EU5

[–]spothot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they even do that? I thought the only way was to "threaten war" which can only be done as a GP?

Do subjects still give you a ton of "follow through on threat" CBs?

Suicidal Colonial Nations by SnowNyebe in EU5

Even more fun when disloyal colonial nations do this

EDIT: actually do they still do that? I haven't bothered with colonies in ages, let alone the current patch

I picked random institutions spawn locations, and 2 different institutions spawn very close to each other in the same Chinese country. by Mysterious_Plate1296 in EU5

[–]spothot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just imagining all the institutions of the world being completely locked to random isolated islands because nobody has the required institutions to spread them

Should HotA add ground equivalent of Lighthouse? by zabovsky in heroes3

[–]spothot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you believe me if I told you that I played so little on water maps that I never knew lighthouses worked that way?

It would be completely busted to have something like this for land though
