After conquering the world I decided to make the game faster by releasing every vassal I can https://i.imgur.com/eTxcKAI.png
I gave all the kingdoms in the world to a single guy, then asked China to shatter his realm
Now the world is full of like 400 independent countries
I do wonder why the game runs so much faster if your realm is smaller. What calculations does it do when you control the whole world that it doesn't otherwise?
Please just pick one https://i.imgur.com/CD5xK3Y.png
Fuck, this guy got the Child of Destiny event chain https://i.imgur.com/VOfumjz.png
As a child of destiny, you get a bunch of incredible stat boosts and modifiers, and the ability to invade as much as you like until you die
gaunt marten
I finally got the Iron Crown of Lombardy achievement, where you have to reach the year 1300 as a Lombard king or emperor
It's the most boring achievement I have ever done. I definitely shouldn't have started all the way back from 769
The next achievement is for playing a game all the way 769-1453

Should be a tie
visual hill
it's a tie in both cases
you need at least a pawn (that you can promote) to win
or 1 rook, 1 queen, 2 bishops, but not 2 knights (unless the opponent plays badly, or if blocked by their own pieces)
gaunt marten
Yeah it cannot be a tie in one case

This goes HARD. Although tbh, in the canon she's more like aroace. She's a bounty hunter, she ain't got time for relationships (no, Other M doesn't count, and I'm like 90% sure it's considered non-canon anyway).

do people like the Needler ?
It’s famously polarising. The way I play these games, needlers are strictly worse than most other weapons, especially on higher difficulties where I just can’t afford to expose myself long enough to fire the magic number of needles.

Faith ,Dusk 82 , Dusk , fallen aces - happened either around the same time or with a few years difference and depicts how hell was slowly taking over earth from the inside
Ultrakill - great war happens way later with more advanced technology
Blood west - the progress regressed after great war and hell started invading earth and destroyed it

how does “plot power defence” work
gaunt marten
Makes it harder for people to kill you or do other plots like revoke your titles
The number is very complicated, but thinking about it with 100% as a baseline is fine

You can see https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Plot https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Attributes#Intrigue and https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Council#Spymaster for more. None of them have exact details on plot power defense or offense
The game should really have a special case for when someone is not part of a dynasty https://i.imgur.com/2HcKIk1.png

how many bears do you have
hushed onyx
Bear-ly enough
gaunt marten
Hundreds. I've been running an extensive bear breeding program since bear rulers get to devour prisoners and absorb their powers
hushed onyx
In the medieval era this would be unreasonable
I doubt it. It might have been considered insane and unreasonable at the time, but that just means that their minds were confined behind a narrow horizon, not that these sorts of ideas actually were unreasonable.
gaunt marten
I didn't mean that it was objectively unreasonable, silly
hushed onyx
Well a lot of people mean that when they say such things 
At least, unreasonable under the conditions of the time even if the idea was had.

both is good too
at least personally, I often find it helps to alternate between a game in a genre I'm extremely familiar and comfy with, and another game in a genre I know nothing about and/or often dislike
cerulean herald
what are genres you dislike?
slim thorn
like, in general? or that I end up playing in spite of that? lol
river veldt
this is going to sound absolutely insane since im considering getting Deltarune but i really don't like turn based JRPGs lol
slim thorn
wind stump
this is going to sound absolutely insane since im considering getting Deltarune ...
It's not really a traditional JRPG
river veldt
Undertale/Deltarune have the bullet hell segments in battles though so i don't get bored
true
slim thorn
(that's a sarcastic gasp; almost any kind of "RPG" is somewhere in the "not comfy for me" bucket, but I've played several of them for the story including Undertale)
river veldt
i guess i enjoy Pokémon as well but idk
cerulean herald
like, in general? or that I end up playing in spite of that? lol
in general
slim thorn
then the big one is any (competitive) multiplayer
river veldt
ok i got deltarune
slim thorn
second biggest is probably that cluster of strategy/simulation genres that I've never been able to penetrate; some of them feel like I should enjoy them, but in practice either I'm too confused and overwhelmed to make any progress, or it's too easy to engage me, with seemingly nothing in between

"open world" can work for me, but I've seen it done badly more often than not

why on earth did Mario Odyssey just get a random update <:ppenk:6818387456111411...
maybe 64-bit update for faster backcompat
like MK8D
(Switch 1 will also run 64-bit code a bit faster than 32-bit, roughly 5%-10%)
visual hill
Odyssey is not native Switch 2, it will be backcompat with enhancements
64-bit helps the enhancements run better (and use less battery)
it's an easy update compared to porting it to native Switch 2
emulation loves those 64-bit updates because they run a lot better on ARM devices too 🙂

Do you think we will ever get a new Spyro game
Yes I do, but I don't know when.

Oh yeah and the other two original games were really cool too, but I already forgot their names

For me I'm definitely eagerly waiting to check out Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Silent Hill f, Final Fantasy Tactics? Maybe?, I wish I could run MGS3 but I probably won't be able to, and Marvel Tokon
The rest I'm good on, but I still think they looked really good, Bloodstained looks great I just already said before I don't vibe too well with Castlevania gameplay, the Bond's Name game looks good too, Pragmata and Romeo is a Dead Man look really interesting I'll probably be on the lookout for any let's plays of that or something
Digimon game looks cool for the remaining 10 Digimon fans out there

The mortal kombat legacy collection seems to also be releasing on xbox one and series and pc and switch as well

Despite sonys pettiness to only show ps4 and ps5 on the trailer thing
i think that makes sense tbh, it is there presentation so it's just gonna show their consoles
Final Fantasy Tactics remake is coming to everything too

Now I want armageddon and deception and deadly alliance to be included in the collection even more lol
They did say more was on the way too
So maybe
Mk gold would also be nice

i do like MK, i think it's cool but i haven't played much of it

yeah, the pricing for Hitman 3 is a bit expensive, but maybe it'll go on sale again soon
I assume you mean the modern Hitmans btw
fickle garnet
Yeah
fresh bane
even with the new ones Blood Money is still my all time favourite
river veldt
ive heard that's the best one
fickle garnet
I love Blood Money
river veldt
is that the one you would recommend starting with
anyway, it's cool that Bond fans are getting their own Great Circle
fresh bane
is that the one you would recommend starting with
Yeah, Blood Money and Codename 47 are probably still some of the best if not the best
river veldt
is Blood Money the one with the funeral and you can get up and shoot everyone
fresh bane
The only "problem" they have is they're old and that's enough to make a lot of people nowadays have a heart attack at the thought of playing an old game, but Blood Money is kind of super similar in terms of the open-ness of the gameplay to the new Hitman games, which is why I liked the new ones so much
You only really have the one or two tasks you do and you're free to do them in any way you could imagine
fresh bane
is Blood Money the one with the funeral and you can get up and shoot everyone
Yeah but that's kind of a spoiler for the very last thing you do in the game
fickle garnet
I have Blood Money on xbox, I should download it
fresh bane
Blood Money is gonna feel very similar to the new Hitman games, Codename 47 is more of a linear story based thing, Hitman 2 as well, but Blood Money is very mission based in a way
Which I personally like so it doesn't bother me
fickle garnet
only 10 bucks hell yeah
You can get Blood money and Absolution together for cheaper than Blood Money rn
Im gonna buy absolution cuz its $2.50 cad
fresh bane
Absolution is pretty divisive because of how much it deviates from the usual gameplay
People really didn't like it at the time
river veldt
Agent 47 seems pretty cool
fresh bane
All the games from codename 47 to blood money are all good
maybe Contracts could be skipped but it's less of a case of a game being bad and more a case of the other games being more worth your time
fickle garnet
Absolution is pretty divisive because of how much it deviates from the usual gam...
Would you recommend Absolution?
fresh bane
If it comes down to recommending a Hitman game for a Hitman experience, no, it's not worth your time
If you like a Max Payne style shooter like the ones that were popular in 2010 then sure, but if I'm recommending a Hitman game anything in between Codename 47 and Blood Money is what I'd recommend
If you don't care for story go for Blood Money if you kinda wanna know a bit more about the story of the world and characters then start with Codename 47 of course
random steppe
Absolution is pretty divisive because of how much it deviates from the usual gam...
I think absolution was like, maybe a couple of tiny formula changes from greatness
fresh bane
It wasn't as awful as people made it seem when it came out for sure
But it also wasn't that good especially when all the other games are so good
random steppe
They tried to make a Transporter/Wasabi type story, without the action hero actually having to defend the kid.
The formula failed for that reason, they didn't fulfill the fantasy they were set out to deliver
I was up for that for sure, but they let me down
fickle garnet
Maybe i'll just play Blood money since i already have it
fresh bane
Yeah people didn't really dig the story either, it's funny to think maybe that's what inspired them to go back to the mission/contract based sandbox nature of Blood Money for the new games
random steppe
I think they tried to go more Splinter Cell in structure, which I feel isn't an awful idea
random steppe
TBH I don't really dig the new hitman that much, I do like something where the story plays a bigger role
So on paper, Absolution would have been my jam, if the story was any good, sadly it isn't
It did have assassins nuns though, gotta point that out
fresh bane
I personally really really dig the relatively free sandboxy nature of the new ones and Blood Money, but even the older ones did strike that balance of cool gameplay with a little bit of story in there too
I will say I wasn't expecting three whole games like that though, I was for sure expecting Hitman 2 or 3 to be more story focused but not really, I mean they have a story but it's very minimal and more of a background thing
I don't know what was up with game devs on the 2010s, the early 2010s, that a lot of games ended up kind of... Bad, like Absolution it just didn't really execute what it was going for well, maybe they'll try it again in the future
astral steeple
ARMAGEDDON??????
Ok yeah after looking at it more that's 100% ashrah on the right side. That has to be one of the ps2 era mortal kombat games
Like it's a bit weird they're trying to keep some mystery around which games are included while also boasting that it's the most complete mortal kombat collection ever
random steppe
I don't know what was up with game devs on the 2010s, the early 2010s, that a lo...
I mean, James Bond seems like it will be pretty story focused, maybe it'll be a good jumping point to bring that into Hitman next
Or maybe to other franchises
fresh bane
yeah hopefully, I'm actually interested in what they'll do with that game
it looks like a very high quality production
also in other news, my ssd and new gpu are all installed and ready to go 
hooray for extra storage and playing games at slightly higher settings with slightly higher fps! (and also DLSS and Ray Tracing, but I don't use those)
now all I gotta do is backup game save files and important stuff and prepare to do that whole thing I gotta do before I can even reinstall windows 11 on this old hunk of junk

What are you
Some sort of Monster Hunter, or something?
gaunt marten
No, all characters have a 10% chance to absorb the powers of people they eat
Bears can eat any prisoner
For the devour prisoner decision you need to meet these requirements:
Bear or dragon, or (Cannibal and (Lunatic or Possessed ))
Notes:
Getting sick causes Food Poisoning Food Poisoning (50%), Diarrhea (25%), or Vomiting (25%).
Gaining power absorbs positive congenital traits, many personality traits, and Immortal . Eating a head of religion will remove Zealous and give the Sympathy trait for the religion.Non-inheritable(Shrewd ,Brawny ,etc.) traits cant be obtained this way.
If the eater is not a bear or dragon, he will gain the Crazy Cannibal modifier, which gives -50 general opinion and makes him ineligible for sainthood. He will also become a Lunatic .
Bear or dragon culture must be graphical, and the character's actual culture is irrelevant. Note that being a bear or dragon does not protect from getting sick.```It is impossible to be a living dragon character in the game and still get achievements, and being a bear is easy and comes with no drawbacks.
Also, being a bear is only necessary in terms of graphical culture. Your real culture can be anything.
Real culture typically gives you all the effects of said culture, and graphical culture is cosmetic only (except for this)
