Oh Joe...
  • Americans have tried to create third parties before, but due to the electoral college and the first past the post voting system, new parties are destined to fail and not win any votes. So the current two party system is the natural state of America.

    The only way to change this is to get rid of the electoral college and the FPTP system, like that's ever going to happen.

  • Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset
  • The perk system was fine imo, but the fact that attributes (except for charisma) did not influence dialogue at all was extremely disappointing.

    Roleplay opportunities were traded in for a better gunplay experience. It became an FPS, not an RPG.

  • A question for the Physics communities
  • I don't think so? Portals are a very... unexplored field of study and the sighting could have been a hallucination or something. Spiritually minded people are prone to those, for whatever reason.

  • A question for the Physics communities
  • Problem is that the burden of proving that the black portal exists is upon the person who saw it. So you'd need data of the room before and after the portal opening.

    Otherwise, this is like arguing that something exists when there is only anecdotal evidence to back up it's existence.

  • Linux is still not ready to replace Windows
  • Tbf I did try out Linux Mint after using Windows basically my entire life and the only issue I ran into was that setting up the desktop was a bit fucky through the inbuilt UI settings (notably panels freaking out).

    Other than that, it was fine.

  • No Rule frfr
  • Twitch culture can vary drastically between streamers, it mostly depends on the moderators and the streamer themselves (almost like any internet forum). And the main appeal is the interactivity between other people usually, whether with the streamer or other viewers.

  • Haha congrats on being old. As for the origin, 'cap' originates from the twitch emote 'Kappa' which is used in response to someone lying. It got shortened to 'Kap' and got turned into 'cap' when it went mainstream.

  • Dave the Diver - Godzilla Content Pack Launch Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games
  • I played through the main story and it was pretty fun. It's a nice chill game overall, though it does suffer a bit from feature creep. I just ignored most of the minigames in favour of the actual main gameplay loop.

  • What's the hardest Paradox game to learn in your opinion?

    I think that Victoria 2 and CK2 are definitely some of the hardest to learn pdx games, but HOI4 is close to the top.

    For all fans of Fallout and strategy games, I highly recommend the Old World Blues mod for Hearts of Iron IV

    Currently one of the most popular mods on the Steam workshop, it introduces the West coast of North America to HOI4, including such canon factions as the NCR and Caesar's Legion, while also seamlessly integrating in its own lore about Mexico, Canada, Colorado, Oregon and other regions.

    It has custom music, 3D models, an entirely different technology tree to the base game, a hand built map, an economy system and around 92 unique focus trees (not including all of the amazing submods that have been created). Currently the mod is in version 4.2 and will add in new content in the Northern areas of the mod in 5.0, slowly adding in the whole North American continent from West to East.

    The only main downside would be the learning curve of HOI4 in general, however Old World Blues is fairly forgiving to new players if they do not play one of the major nations (such as Caesar or the NCR).

    I personally recommend new players to play such nations as: the Texas Brotherhood (you have a technological advantage); New Vegas (you are not the target of many wars); Lanius's Cohort (you are much stronger than your surrounding neighbours, who you will try to conquer).

    Though it may be recommended to watch a few tutorials of HOI4 before starting (Bitt3rsteel has an amazing beginner's tutorial on his YouTube channel).
