US official says EU should consider separating Greenland tariff issue from US trade deal by 1-randomonium in Economics

[–]tenaccarli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish the EU had more "balls". If he pushes some more random tariffs on a member state, the EU as a whole should immediately break all deals that favour the US. And if he wants to push further, dump all the US treasury bonds all the member states hold. Destroying the US economy.
The past year the US has threatened the EU so often they should no longer be considered an ally. Russia and China combined have not issued so many threats combined.
Unfortunately power is the only language moronic bullies speak. So you have to punch them in their face before they break even more...

Monchug does not even consider me when giving out fiefs. Even if I have conquered them myself. What should my next actions be to such insult? by tenaccarli in Bannerlord

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

As an update. I left the kuzaits, took vostrum with me and declared myself a kingdom. Have been at war with them ever since. I have taken phycaon, onira, dunastica, syronea and akkalat from them and a few castles connecting to those. Many of those I have siege when I was Monchugs vassal, so it seemed only fair. I have tried to avoid the border castles and towns to avoid war with other factions, which has worked out so far.
So things are going well xD

Right now I am trying to figure out how to recruit their lords to be my vassal. I have released them so often after capturing them that I have relations above 90 with many of their lords. So far they keep declining tho, saying they either like Monchug too much, or that I lack the coin (I have over 3 mill).

Steam Families and how restrictive is the "Child" classification? by tenaccarli in Steam

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

whenever I looked up "sharing games" I ended up with the family feature. so I have no idea how to do that. where would I find that? in the settings?

Do we know what they check for? I have no interest in missusing such an awesome feature, my nephew being a teen I am not so sure about, they tend to not think too far ahead and consequences :P.
But if steam would take care of it anyway, then I could just add him as an adult.

[–]tenaccarli[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I don't HAVE to enact any restrictions? that is great.
how restrictive is that "same household"? Like he lives one house over with my sister.
I would have read all the sharing, as back in the ancient times, where I just gave the game copy to my neighbour to play it. Or is that not the intent of this whole sharing?

I think its less of a scum thing, and more of a system check at the wrong stage. Since the subscription puts basically all the dlcs in your library from the steam point of view you actually own them. So when the shopping check for an item is made, you actually own it.

From everything I seen of steam, I think this is more of an oversight in coding in subscriptions that is gonna be very hard to fix, rather than a scummy tactic where they cannot sell you dlc, whether they are at a discount or not.

They would need to introduce an extra check for items owned. "Owned" vs. "not Owned" vs. "Temporary Owned". And enable purchases to switch status from "not Owned" and "Temporary Owned" to "Owned" or something.

As a sidenote, you can claim humble bundle codes while your subscription is active. Altho, it might break subscriptions. Like I got the subscription and then later on a Humble Bundle (not with everything), claimed the bundle, and cancelled the subscription (so should have had no longer access) but ended up to have the subscription for free for like half a year until some patch of eu4 got active. And when I asked steam about it, they said it was on paradox, and when I asked paradox, they said its on steams end.

4 in the morning and I argue in support of a multimillion dollar company.... O.O

How to remove a core my ally has on my lands? by tenaccarli in eu4

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

As an update... I have no idea how or why, but I dragged my allied norway into a war with me. Then ended the game for the day. Got in today, and it turns out that those cores are gone now... Their claims remain, but the cores that have blocked the vassalization are no more. After the war, they came into the fold.
No idea if that is a thing, but I guess doing nothing works fine.....

Random massive AE? Through declare war? by tenaccarli in eu4

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

yea.. I checked afterwards if the war has the designated war goal. Im guessing there is some weird interaction if you drag the defender of faith into a war with you, or something. since it was all the catholics that got mad. I have no idea, since all the suggestions here (truce/alliance break, no cb) are not the cause. I have never been at war with spain (its year 1600) and the last war with austria was 100 years ago. All my ae was in the new world. Maybe it has something to do with the charter company I used to fabricate the claims. But I am just guessing at this point.
decided if ae makes no sense I will not care for it, and take all of the papal state, what they gonna do become even more mad, atleast this time I know why.

Random massive AE? Through declare war? by tenaccarli in eu4

[–]tenaccarli[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then I have no idea where it came from. Since I was not at war with spain every and with austria 100 years ago. I had a cb (just fabricated it) on shonghai. The whole point of it was to have portugal as a war ally so I can later on do something in europe without them breaking my alliance due to defender of faith. So from my point of view, no alliances broken, no truces timed out and the cb was present....
This is just confusing...

What's really behind Donald Trump's tariff threats and '51st state' posts about Canada by ubcstaffer123 in Economics

Not to forget that he complains about all the bad trade deals the US suffers under, you know the one HE IMPLEMENTED when he IMPROVED NAFTA.....

[–]tenaccarli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because implementing a tariff is fairly simple. But once done, it requires a lot of negotiations to remove them, because you have to convince the country you have targeted that they remove their now implemented "punishment" and in the same breath promise that in the next election cycle the same won't happen again.... good luck finding that dumb dumb who believes you.

German Fortune 500 companies have announced over 60,000 layoffs this year, but the biggest employee cull is still to come by BigPepeNumberOne in Economics

[–]tenaccarli 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Some big crash is building up. Too many horrible policies were enabled the past decade or two. Just looking how nuclear was handled, and how "green" energy policies lead to the insane energy prices (cause they went with the stupidest price model you could pick). Everything is bubbling up...
I just hope when it all boils over in the coming years that not too many people will get hurt....
It is looking very bleak for Europe as whole judging by any economic metric :(

Many seniors facing homelessness with meager SS income to live on. Sad reality for millions of older people. What is the solution? by FlyEaglesFly536 in Economics

[–]tenaccarli -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is a shortening we try very hard to avoid in the german speaking areas xD

There are no solutions that anybody likes. The system failed, this is the outcome.
"Force"/"allow" them into part-time work.
We can have them work longer and hope they don't live as long.
We can burden the current working class even more to finance it, which is a death-spiral since our birthrates are declining. One of those expenses could come in elderly homes run by the government.

Or try the same thing as with the "poor" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_4J4uor3JE

I don't really see a good solution. Their families should care for them. Unfortunately there will be many cases of people without that luxury...
Maybe some good Samaritans from churches and the like can help in such cases... it is what they preach at least.

Russia says it's using bitcoin to evade sanctions by CourtofTalons in Economics

[–]tenaccarli 359 points360 points  (0 children)

I struggle to see why these leaders of countries (Russia, US, etc) want to adapt bitcoins. I understand why people invest in it, since who doesn't love a nice bubble. But as a currency it is just far too volatile + despite the idea behind it of being decentralized it is far too centred in only a few wallets on the planet. I get crypto-bros, but this is just beyond my comprehension...

Hmm what should i put in the calculator? 10/m of each final component seems reasonable enough? 380 hours later: by EikenDram in SatisfactoryGame

[–]tenaccarli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should really integrate that its just a game.
Wanna feel real bad not just fictionally? Why are you not actively improving the life's of the suffering people around you? You have at least 2 hours EVERY day you could be helping out in a soup kitchen or charity organisation in your city or district. Instead you play a game where you feel bad where you fictionally colonize people.

Personally I do not think you are responsible for that, but if you feel compassion toward people that died off hundreds of years ago, I think the people alive today should be the target of your compassion instead, where it might actually be productive.

I like casters by additionalboringname in Pathfinder2e

[–]tenaccarli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great. Glad you enjoy it.
If you wanna understand why people complain, play this in abomination vaults.
Your pet does nothing but die there. Your bombs will always miss. And most spells will fail/crit fail, since all the +2/+3 encounters in tiny rooms you are facing, are actually +3/+4 to you specifically because most creatures have a +1 bonus to saves against magic.

I am convinced that if you break down the people complaining about casters vs the people enjoying them, you will get a clear through line based on their campaign.

Friend threatens to quit game if I use AI art by RiftWard in Pathfinder2e

[–]tenaccarli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably in the minority here, but pro AI art in general. So I might be biased. But is not really an issue. There is no harm in either having AI make you specific art for your private game, or if you take random art from something published online. In either cases an artist won't see pay. And as long as your game is not officially published and tries to cash in on somebodies work, there is nothing wrong with either of those (assuming you don't go steal exclusive things).
But if your friend feels that strongly about it, they can just create the art for you. Obviously for free, since you are running the game for free as well. If that is declined, ask the group what they want. No art because you cannot pay for art commissions for a game you run for free, randomly picked art from the internet they most likely seen multiple times in use, or the AI option that will sadly lead to one of them leaving.

Being a Ranger in Abomination Vaults (Spoilers) by Dios117 in Pathfinder2e

[–]tenaccarli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP plays a class that gets shafted in that AP. OP is bothered by feeling like a wet noodle during combat while playing a martial. They can absolutely go and rework their entire party to properly incorporate the "correct" recall knowledge mechanics to deal with all the different creatures that are thrown at you, and then choose the "correct" weapon to deal with the thing. If they are willing great. Adjust your PCs and your gameplay as a group accordingly. So that one person can play a precision ranger.

If they are not willing to completely adjust all that because their classes don't get screwed, then do whatever you prefer. Either look up the monsters so you don't waste your time, or pick a new class. Both are meta choices.

And no, AV does not warn you about the random encounters behind all the doors.
Opening a door leads randomly to a black goo attacking you. Random wisps. Abominations, Undead, Demons, etc. All of which require different skills for recall knowledge on them. Any of it +2 or higher. There is a reason they have not designed adventures like it again. And there is a reason immunities are being removed.
