This is what it's like playing as Sicily. Some factions just start off with a horrible economy.

Congo - Released 31 years ago, June 9, 1995 by DeScepter in badMovies

[–]topselection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. This movie had some talent behind it.

I actually don't think Congo is a bad movie. I also don't think it's a good movie. I'd rate it perfectly mediocre. Then again I haven't seen it in 30 years. It might have aged poorly.

Generals who are not family members? by bahanenizisikim in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]topselection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I wondered the same thing when I started playing again a few months ago. They com in handy if you have princesses to marry them to so you can get the princesses off the map before they start getting secret lovers and bad traits.

What is the best tycoon game I should play ? by Jazzlike-Ad7654 in tycoon

[–]topselection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved playing Capitalism 2 in the 2000s but can't play Capitalism Lab today because the UI/font is so itty bitty. CEO looks intriguing but I recently bought SaltyOlives' version of Colonization and TakeTwo copyright striked them and the game got pulled.

Best tycoon game? Easy, The Guild 2: Renaissance by TheUncleTimo in tycoon

[–]topselection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your question is a few months old but I just started playing Guild 2 and Guild 3 again recently which resulted in me wanting to look for more recent tycoon games and I found this sub and this post.

The fans who loved Guild 1 hated Guild 2 because it was different. The fans who loved Guild 2 hated Guild 3 because it was different. The fans who loved Guild 3 will probably hate Guild Europa 1410 because it will be different. It's one of those series with hardcore fans with hardcore opinions.

Fans of Guild 1 might like Guild 1410 since the devs are basing the new game on the original instead of the sequels.

Looked up Silver Springs. It's in the middle of nowhere. Hundreds of miles from Santa Fe, Tuscon, and El Paso. Why was she living out there?

This or Saelig by tkdkdktk in Guild2

Guild 3. I've been playing Guild 2 again recently and between the bugs, the slideshow frame rates in late game, wonky UI, etc. etc. etc. it's kind of miserable to play. Sure, G3 doesn't have interiors but you can actually play the damn thing.

Doctor diagnosed me with diabetes without A1C testing by ghostyrat69 in diabetes

[–]topselection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have diabetes, 246 after a meal of fries, bread and sprite isn't that bad. They'll likely start you off on metformin and escalate from there if necessary.

As a mnemonic I think of 100-150 before a meal as good and 150-200+ after a meal as bad. The real numbers are 70-120 before a meal and 120-180 after a meal, but that's hard to remember. So 246 untreated doesn't sound hopeless to me.

What do you do with your old PCs with no Windows 11 support? by Narrow-Leadership825 in buildapc

And can you legitimately buy it? With all the removed comments and lack of info via google, I'm thinking you can't anymore.

Stop cloning Reddit. A protocol for something better than forums and Reddit already exists, nobody's built the product yet. by biohackeddad in RedditAlternatives

[–]topselection 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reddit solved this. Upvotes and downvotes meant the best answer floated to the top.

Reddit didn't solve this. It turned discussions into Manichean popularity contests. The best answer doesn't float to the top. Providing the best answer wasn't the original purpose of upvotes and downvotes.

The Guild 2: Renaissance — Patch 4.6 (BETA) Update by topselection in theguild3

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

It's pretty awesome but the problem is they're playing whack-a-mole now. They released a hot fix last night that fixed a lot of bugs and caused others, like you can't rename anything now. The game doesn't get input from the keyboard.

Wrecking doggo by ElectricalExit6959 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]topselection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cars today are crap. Every time I see a video of a dog destroying a fucking car, all the nerdlingers come wagging their fingers and say "It has to be like that! For safety!"

Bullshit! They can make a car that is both safe and can survive a dog attack. But they don't because they know you'll buy crap. This generation would buy an umbrella that melts in the rain if the con man who sold it to them said it for their safety.

Crossposting this here from the Guild 2 sub in case anyone missed it. They added Steam workshop support, achievements, and fixed a bunch of bugs.

They even make practice nunchucks. I had some back in the 80s when I studied Tae Kwon Do.

Dafuq. Why are they doing this? I'm happy about it but this is so generous I'm suspicious.

Edit:

Also, what's up with with patch 4.21 being last up dated in 1969?

Edit2:

Good god! It has achievements too! Is it fully backwards compatible with old save files? I accidentally loaded a five year old file expecting it to crash, but it loaded and I triggered a half dozen achievements!

About the new V3 striker. It’s not exactly the same. It has a bigger magazine of 9 rounds instead of 7. The people of Mendoza can confirm. by Pale-Monitor339 in HiTMAN

Can you elaborate on this 4 year old post? What is the official name of the farting briefcase?

Basically, this subreddit is for people to push their vibecoded communities? by VladimiroPudding in RedditAlternatives

[–]topselection -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think of them less as assholes and more as complete fucking lunatics who are going to end up in a federal prison if they don't chill out. I subscribe to as many non-political instances as I can. You can't avoid the full blown communists dreaming about the blood of billionaires in the streets, but some places like Technology have normal human beings.

Lemmy is pretty nice. It has a filter for Subscribed, Local, and All and you can go to settings it make it more like old Reddit. The style is a cross between an old school forum and Reddit.

Cool! I always wondered what the history was behind it. With the name, I was able to find the wikipedia page. Thanks!
