[umbral ingot]

But its like this gif

[umbral ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-cringe-gif-26633208

The hair

[turbid pilot]

who rules em

[white raft]

[turbid pilot]

not really

[amber crest]

kinda like super earth without space travel I guess

[turbid pilot]

they bombed the shit outa germany

to like a new level

plus they still took the actual east german lands

[umbral ingot]

Oh you are talking about after ww2

I was talking about after ww1

[white raft]

germany was split in 6 pieces after ww2

[timid scaffold]

4

[worldly rose]

Cool

[timid scaffold]

usa part, soviet part, french part, uk part

[umbral ingot]

Yea

[white raft]

plus saarland and austria

[turbid pilot]

like

[amber crest]

SGT Al you have been assigned to Major Emily at fort Catthowan @turbid pilot

[turbid pilot]

germany did lose alot already

[umbral ingot]

Austria was also split my guy

[timid scaffold]

that's not germany

[umbral ingot]

In 4

[white raft]

saarland is currently part of Germany

[turbid pilot]

imo i think they shlda kept this

the rest

i understand

but these 2 bits

shlda stayed german

[amber crest]

one of the plot points of my dream was that Henry and William became military contractors and enginners before anything bad happened to Charlie, Evan (CC) and Elizabeth

[umbral ingot]

The reason they were split off was from pure revenge, economic and soviet conquest reasons

[white raft]

the french actually took Saarland after ww1 AND ww2, both times it decided to rejoin germany

[amber crest]

which explains why Charlotte was alive and in her late 30's early 40's

[turbid pilot]

how do u even remember ur dreams

i barely remember mine

and majority of it is just me living my life

but in a dream

[worldly rose]

Tbf who would want to join France

[amber crest]

I wrote it down because it was memorble

[turbid pilot]

ah

i dont write stuff down but i often remember the sumary

no details

but summary

[umbral ingot]

Atleast you get that

[turbid pilot]

this morning my dream was just a road trip

thats it

[amber crest]

I don't remember what my latest one was

[turbid pilot]

i usually remember my latest dream until i have a new one

[worldly rose]

austro-femgarian should be Dutch fr fr

[turbid pilot]

i do commit memory to remember a few

[white raft]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Protectorate

[orchid hornet]

Saar was French

[amber crest]

I do remember one from last week which was continuation of the crab people war dream in which me and Major Emily were at a discount helldivers rally

[turbid pilot]

like i ca remember old ass dreams cause they felt distinct eough

i had a dream i lived another whole life

[umbral ingot]

Hmm

[turbid pilot]

i still remember it

very weird feeling when u wake up from those

[amber crest]

https://tenor.com/view/helldiers-salute-reinforce-teamwork-unity-gif-17207167446756348661

[orchid hornet]

ew why would you be Dutch

[turbid pilot]

felt like i spet a whole life in the dream

[umbral ingot]

Does that mean I get to leave Romania

Hell yeah

[turbid pilot]

then i went to school

[amber crest]

Hi Ollie

[amber crest]

in my case I woke up and realized it was still 2020

[orchid hornet]

you either live in Amsterdam and smell like weed or live in Rotterdam and are low iq

[white raft]

The french have actually annexed Saarland 3 times

once in the Napoleonic wars
once after ww1
once after ww2

[turbid pilot]

🤷‍♂️ it is very weird for me

[white raft]

every time it was given back to Germany

[turbid pilot]

my dreams sometimes feel to real

since most my dreams r just living life

i have slice of life animes for dreams

[amber crest]

I would rather be fighting Crab People with Charlie for humanity than living in the lockdown

[white raft]

either way you own a bike

[turbid pilot]

never had a lockdown dream but

i meant more

going to the grocery store

being in class

[amber crest]

I woke up and it was still the lockdown

[turbid pilot]

walking in a park

[amber crest]

is what I meant

[white raft]

you're moving to Serbia

[amber crest]

I went from dreaming about an epic war

[turbid pilot]

ah

[amber crest]

to having to live in a lockdown

[turbid pilot]

ngl lockdown wast that bad where i was

we got over covid quickly

ik i other countries

[amber crest]

for American standards Vermont got off easy

[turbid pilot]

yall struggled to keep it in control

but i barely was in lockdown

i was still allowed to go out and go on walks

go to the shoppig mall

we didt have the

u cant leave ur home

thing

[amber crest]

we could go outside too

[turbid pilot]

just the study at home work at home stuff

[amber crest]

we couldn't go inside stores

and remote learing too

[turbid pilot]

we could

[amber crest]

we could later on though

[turbid pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/smart-gif-7714509402635104886

[amber crest]

@umbral ingot what did you think of the comic

[turbid pilot]

[amber crest]

I got my vaccine as soon as it was avliable

[turbid pilot]

i didnt even need it

i caught covid

it was really mild for me

[amber crest]

I had it twice

[turbid pilot]

wow

[amber crest]

it was just a worse cold for me

[turbid pilot]

[turbid pilot]

[umbral ingot]

I liked it

Chris' reaction is relatable

[amber crest]

I thought his name was Evan or Dave

[umbral ingot]

Chris, Evan

Same person

[amber crest]

true

[umbral ingot]

Obviously not Dave though

[amber crest]

also true

[umbral ingot]

Dave was like

[amber crest]

so who is more of a psycho movie Charlie or games Cassidy

[umbral ingot]

William's allias

[umbral ingot]

Or something

[umbral ingot]

I mean

Cassidy only traps William

So

Movie Charlie obviously

[amber crest]

tell that to Ralph and the other night guards

[umbral ingot]

Well they were night guards

Cassidy didn't literally escape the pizzeria to kill people for no reason

[amber crest]

true

[umbral ingot]

I dont like movie Charlie at all

Neither do I like movie Michael

Oh my poor Michael

What happened

[amber crest]

same compared to my AU Charlie kills crustys to protect a greviously injured Cannon in the early war and she gets a tear scar on her left eye in the process

and a messed up shoulder too

[umbral ingot]

Your AU Charlie is just better bro there is no comparison there LOL

[amber crest]

pretty much she has the spirt of the puppet but is alive and not well

such a shame she failed to protect Cannon though, at least she adopted his son Charles as her own

[amber crest]

@umbral ingot thoughts on this ending

just don't mess with Charles because Charlie is a mama bear basically

[turbid pilot]

@amber crest swis went alpine lol

got myself free land n iron

not amazing to core since its gonna take forever to reach the end of my focus tree

[amber crest]

at least you took out the swiss

[turbid pilot]

i didnt

italy did

i just stole one bit of lad

land

[serene nest]

Bigotry is bad

[turbid pilot]

@amber crest guess who accepted

[turbid pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/lapiscel-family-guy-lois-griffin-nine-eleven-was-bad-gif-2443936417001864957

[umbral ingot]

What path is this

[turbid pilot]

austrofacist

im here to unite germany and the austrohugary empire

[amber crest]

Hungary

[umbral ingot]

Btw I just wanna ask didn't Charles have a mom

How does she adopt him

[turbid pilot]

hopefully czech accepts next

if czech accepts with italy

on my side

and after forming austrohungary

i will b able to fight germany

[umbral ingot]

They have a conquest path like the hasburgs?

[turbid pilot]

yep

but their stronger

[umbral ingot]

Didn't know they have that

[turbid pilot]

they have austrofacism spirit

and its op asf

plus their leader is austrian prince that gives 0.5 recruitable

so really op

[amber crest]

Natalie thought Charles would be better under Charlie

[umbral ingot]

Makes sense

[umbral ingot]

Yeah not clicking on this

[molten topaz]

no spiders

chill

i am not that evil

[umbral ingot]

WHAT IS THOMAS THE TRAIN DOING IN RESIDENT EVIL

[stiff agate]

[latent heath]

[turbid pilot]

hey thats not nice

[latent heath]

depends if they like you and all that I think

most of the time they accept for me

[amber crest]

Nice

[latent heath]

@worldly rose you worked on NCNS, right?

[turbid pilot]

gotta end communism

austro-hungarian-ukrainian empire @amber crest 😄

[latent heath]

we need to add a few more flags

[turbid pilot]

prolly not

im gona declare on ssr

puppet it

and give it ukraine

more better than ownig it

FAH

im kinda cooked

[vast heron]

Gulp

[umbral ingot]

How

Did the soviets join the allies

And why don't they have a real leader

[stiff agate]

you play hoi4

ofcourse you are

[amber crest]

@umbral ingot thoughts on the human army in my au being poorly led despite having the advantage at several stages in the early war

The soldiers are good the officers and leadership less so

[stiff agate]

corrupt leader ship

kinda a human thing to do

[amber crest]

That and I’ll prepared as this is the first major war since wwii

For many of the nations involved

Kinda like the union in the first half of the US civil war

Looking at you general mcclellan

Though he was good at making and organizing an army he was dogshit at leading one

No wonder Grant eventually replaced him

[worldly rose]

Indeed

[latent heath]

do you know what the focus safeguard the shanghai settlement does?

[worldly rose]

No but I can check the code

[latent heath]

im suprised that you even can do that

It says china gets an ultimatum and that you declare war

but it doesnt say what you demand

nor if they have a choice

[stiff agate]

sudently im soo tired

[worldly rose]

owner of Shanghai state gets an event, and you basically just declares war on them

[latent heath]

so they cant decide to accept any ultimatum?

its just to declare war?

[worldly rose]

ah, theres a 2% chance theyll cede Shanghai

98% its war

[latent heath]

I hope thats true because I am gonna try it about 100 times

anyways, thank you, marijn

[worldly rose]

Be aware you cant savescum most RNG

[turbid pilot]

they going commie

i am kinda cooked now doe

[worldly rose]

Focus trees/events/localization/decisions etc. can all be modded so anyone can see the code

[turbid pilot]

im completely surrounded

and my tank research

1 more year

im so cooked

[latent heath]

where can I see the code?

[turbid pilot]

im gonna play tall till 1945

try to take out the germans

[worldly rose]

game folder, focus trees are common/national_focus

[latent heath]

ah okay

thank you, marijn

5 star customer support

[worldly rose]

if you know the focus name, you can folder search the localization token first to get its ID, then you can search that ID in the focus tree file

Usually the focus name is just whatever the name is but with _ instead of spaces

So itd usually be JAP_safeguard_the_shanghai_settlement, though this one I needed to check the loc folder for

[turbid pilot]

@amber crest germany unification is on the way

[amber crest]

Avenge the brothers war

how do i f@сking post on reddit with new account bruh

😭

imagine saying "you are not allowed to speak" to the new people

what is freedom of speech bruh

[willow dove]

Bro Vic3 Austria is so annoying
EVERYBODY SIDES WITH PRUSSIA

Like Prussia will decide to get leadership and everybody decides to jump me at the same time

Then Britain joined the war on Prussia's side and then Russia (my ally) refused to join me

This has happened in both of my Austria games

Thing is, my army was stronger than Prussia by itself but then for some reason Wurttemberg had a massive army and when Britain joined it was basically over

[worldly rose]

Welcome

[frail fable]

sometimes you lose

[plain ibex]

tyty

[willow dove]

I feel like the game hates me because as soon as the German leadership thingy happened, every German state had +100 for Prussia and I was no where close

[frail fable]

you will never experience my pain in vic3

i remember one of my best economic runs, ruined by a war i couldnt get out of, occupied until my SoL was like 5 or something, pops starved, into civil war, with unsolvable debt and GDP down like 90%+

and its like, thats life

youll lose sometimes, its okay

and when the day comes again, youll have learned, grown as a person

youll see your mistakes, move on and become greater than you couldve been before these times

its okay to lose

[willow dove]

I understand I'll lose sometimes I'm just saying this mechanic makes no sense

[frail fable]

alliances mean nations are more likely to join you

just like irl, they arent binding

in hoi4 allies get basically forced to join because its about all-out war

[willow dove]

Actually I lose a lot, but when every German country immediately sides with Prussia as soon as the mechanic starts and they can't be convinced to support me instead I just feel like that's just annoying

[frail fable]

maybe you could ally like france? idk

[willow dove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'll try that my next Austria game but I think my next Vic game will be Spain since I haven't played them yet

[turbid pilot]

@amber crest i won but lost 6mil people and didnt get full germany

also kinda surrounded

[worldly rose]

[amber crest]

Rome is number 1
Byzantium or Eastern Rome (depending on Roman you view on them being Roman for number 2)
Seleucid Empire being number 3
Mongol Empire being number 4
and the French Empire under Napoleon I number 5

[amber crest]

@turbid pilot @stiff agate

[mortal thunder]

Stole us from the Ottomans but at least modernization was done so thanks to the Austrians

[umbral ingot]

what country are you reffering to

cause its either hungary or the entire yugoslav region

[mortal thunder]

Bosnia

[umbral ingot]

Now I’m gonna play as the Empire of Trebizond when I get home

[vocal fiber]

For a moment I thought it was furry Teto 😂

[meager patrol]

Nope

But there is still some old film on it

[slow sparrow]

i doubt that’s gonna produce anything sadly

[meager patrol]

Im sorry but im like a caveman trying to understand a phone

[meager patrol]

Its used so prob there are some old photos on it

[slow sparrow]

film deteriorates a lot over the decades, especially if it’s from the 50s.

[slow sparrow]

It’s pretty easy to shoot if you ever care to do that

[serene nest]

Class discrimination is bad

[slow sparrow]

medium format means it produces larger pictures as opposed to the widespread 35mm small format. and slides are pictures that you can view without inverting them (by scanning or printing)

so it’s 1000% worth shooting, and even repairing to shoot

@turbid pilot

[vocal fiber]

EAT THE RICH

[meager patrol]

Well it was in the camera for all of these years

In a dark place

Also

How do i make fotos with that thing

[slow sparrow]

the film is still sensitive, and background radiation and all that fogged it to hell

[slow sparrow]

load film and shoot

get some cheap kentmere 100 in 120 format or whatever and take it out for a spin

and get a light meter app to get the correct exposure

[amber crest]

The ending is the best part with the Byzantine army marching into the city of Rome

[meager patrol]

I think i loaded it in

I already had some film

[slow sparrow]

the expired film won’t work

[meager patrol]

-_-

[slow sparrow]

you could take it out and see if the shutter works

[meager patrol]

It was sealed and brand new

[slow sparrow]

ohh did u buy new film?

[meager patrol]

No

But it was made during the last 24 years

[slow sparrow]

ah. uhh then shoot it at half the box speed (sensitivity)

and it might work just give the lab you develop it at a heads up

24yo isn’t that bad

[amber crest]

https://tenor.com/view/flag-byzantine-greece-konstantinople-gif-16677118

[meager patrol]

Yeah

Idk what you are talking about

[slow sparrow]

what is its iso or asa number

[limber ledge]

Haha just checking in are they giving Mengkukuo a focus tree yet? Just checking haha

No pressure

But it would be cool

[amber crest]

[ocean sable]

https://tenor.com/view/mengjiang-mengkukuo-flag-mongolia-japan-gif-13613002530988360377

[slow sparrow]

that’s the camera, the film has a sensitivity that you need to know. it’s probably too much bothering tbh but shooting medium format is really worth it

(but if you really want to get good pictures i’d just get new film, god knows how the old film was stored)

[meager patrol]

Idl anything about that

[analog roost]

peak

[meager patrol]

I had the camera for about 5 hours

[slow sparrow]

darn

[meager patrol]

I know nothing

[vocal fiber]

Isn't ISO the brigthness?

[slow sparrow]

no, it’s how sensitive the film is to light

[vocal fiber]

Oh

[slow sparrow]

if you ever decide to shoot and need help i’ll be happy to assist or whatevuh

[slow sparrow]

with film it’s actually kinda flexible since you can overdevelop if you underexpose it and the other way around

[meager patrol]

Yeah

Im gonna take it for a spin tommorow

And idk how to shoot photos

On that thing

[slow sparrow]

i mean 400 iso at 6400 still kinda works

[slow sparrow]

you’ve got the wind lever and the shutter button

after the film is loaded you wind, set the exposure and shutter speed and press the button

[meager patrol]

And if i loaded the film correctly

[slow sparrow]

i wouldn’t risk it, just get some kentmere for €5 per roll

but if you are willing to risk it then sure

you also need a light meter app for ur phone because just eyeballing it is hard

[meager patrol]

Well how do i know if i loaded it in correctly

I know nothing

Like i said

[slow sparrow]

uhhh so was the paper side facing your way when loading ir?

and did you wind it till the arrow on the paper aligned with the marker?

[meager patrol]

Yep

[slow sparrow]

okay okay and did you see an arrow

[meager patrol]

Idk

[slow sparrow]

darn

well if you didn’t wind it too far then it’s probably okay

[meager patrol]

Huh?

[slow sparrow]

so um did you put the film on the second spool?

so pull it from left to right

wait i’m gonna show it with my 35mm camera hang on a second

[crisp heart]

how do we contact a mod to report a hacker in our game

[meager patrol]

Open a ticket

And get proof

Also to open a ticket you need to dm the PDX Bot

[slow sparrow]

did you wind past the arrow or no this is very important

here is what 35mm looks and it’s kinda not helpful at all oops

[meager patrol]

What arrow?

Huh

[slow sparrow]

okay so could you advance it

with the wind lever

[silent moat]

when he crashes the game how do you get proof

[meager patrol]

There is non

[meager patrol]

Screen recording

[slow sparrow]

uhhh just gimme a sec idk how yours does the advancing, normally theres a lever on the top

is there a knob on the top or bottom

[toxic pivot]

guess what's dis

[meager patrol]

Oh yeah

I can turn it

[slow sparrow]

turn it till it clicks and snaps back

if that does that uhhh

wait does it do that

does the film move from left to right when you turn it?

I think you have a separate advance and shutter window, is there a lever on the lens?

[meager patrol]

It depends on which direction you turn it.

[slow sparrow]

also do you have a small window on the back side?

i think that’s how you know how far to wind it

[meager patrol]

Here

My camera

[keen bough]

[vocal fiber]

Such a beauty

[meager patrol]

Just make sure you translate the side

[slow sparrow]

darn uhhhh this is a hard one

i’ve only held that kind in my hand, I have a photography server with an analog channel with very helpful people if you want

buuuut you can try closing the back and winding till you see a number appear in the window

and you’ll have to advance it till you see the next number everytime you take a shot

[meager patrol]

Sure

Hit me up in the dm's

[slow sparrow]

[white raft]

hi friends

[thorn dagger]

Who'd every1 pick for march madness.

[fading geode]

meow

[fading geode]

whats a march madness

[thorn dagger]

68 team college basketball tournament

happens in march

determines the national champion

[fading geode]

huh

[orchid hornet]

bro picked Vandy to reach the Final Four 🥀

[thorn dagger]

Very favorable region

Beat the piss outta uf in the sec tourny

Mcneese, Nebraska, florida, illinois

[orchid hornet]

I have them out vs Florida then Florida out vs Houston

[orchid hornet]

tbf it was literally in Nashville

I'm very unconvinced by the very narrow wins over the Sweet 16-at-best Tennessee team

[thorn dagger]

I have them getting annihilated by duke tho

[orchid hornet]

man it would have been so funny if Ole Miss won

[thorn dagger]

Ole miss also had ref help the entire tourny

That uga game was awful

[orchid hornet]

Ole Miss vs not bribing the refs

[thorn dagger]

Lol

[orchid hornet]

I have Houston winning out their quadrant and then getting bodied by Duke
I also bias picked UMich through Arizona and Duke

I honestly can see any of my Final Four winning

[thorn dagger]

I think Arizona loses to Arkansas in the sweet 16

Acuff Jr is tuff asl

[orchid hornet]

I knocked out Arkansas vs Wisconsin

they seem to have a very good history in really hard games

Wisconsin still gets annihilated by Arizona tho

[thorn dagger]

Truth nuke

[thorn dagger]

Wisconsin to hot and cold

Plus a bad draw vs high point

Got the Panthers besting Wisconsin round one

Beating

[orchid hornet]

we all know North Carolina is winning it all without their main star

[thorn dagger]

Exactly

Long Island winning it all

LIU vs Furman nattu

Natty

[orchid hornet]

my main picks that ESPN called dogshit were Tenenssee>UVA and UCF>UCLA

[thorn dagger]

Ucla to the elite eight honestly

[orchid hornet]

Tennessee will 100% have the game of their season then lose by 50 the next game

[thorn dagger]

Virginia i don't trust

Ucla has a great draw with ucf then uconn

Connect has to he the weakest 2 seed oat

Uconn

[orchid hornet]

oh right UConn

I sent them to the Elite Eight

I NEED them to be absolutely destroyed by Duke

[thorn dagger]

Got demolished by the Johnnies by 20 in the big east championship

Not dan hurleys best squad

But he is always a good tournament game winner

[orchid hornet]

Hurley pmo so bad a couple years ago

he blamed the refs for his team being bad for like half the season

[thorn dagger]

Very fiery coach

He's also the best coach rn tho

[orchid hornet]

José Mourinho of ncaam

[thorn dagger]

That b2b a couple years ago was the mkst dominate 2 years of basketball I've seen 9n a while

Lol

[orchid hornet]

I remember when I first started to pay attention again to basketball and the first game I watched was the 4ot loss by UNC to Alabama
