Ah, the autumn is here. So much nicer. Figured I'd wear my jeans for my walk, was only 60, but still too warm for that. But soon I won't need to wear a tanktop and shorts, with a fan blowing my face 24/7, to not be uncomfortably warm! It's all I ask.

My Kislev (Kostaltyn) campaign is dead. 200 turns in, 7 armies, but the Realm of Chaos mechanics sunk me. Killed 2 of the AI factions that got to the Forge first, but with no rifts open, somehow, N'kari made it there without any option to teleport to intercept, and no existing save I could revert to. Which is deeply fucking annoying given how bad that campaign is. Pure slog.

I don't know if it is "bad", given that I had 150 hours in it before I got bored (and did my legendary run with Zhao Ming). Point is, if other factions get near to four souls, you need to focus on taking them out before the next portals open. Otherwise, it is game over, as it was with you. And, in my humble opinion, that is good, because it changes the gameplay of the campaign up. Sure, it is deeply annoying to lose, but can you say that you'd ever be in danger to lose an Immortal Empires campaign at turn 200? I would be shocked, in the current state of the game, if that would ever happen.

That having being said, fuck the realm of Tzeentch.

To elaborate, I was able to enter the rifts twice, in the early game, by sacrificing most of Troll Country (which changed hands endlessly). Got the Khorne soul easily, then went for Nurgle. Somehow the AI was able to seemingly teleport around, and finish 1 turn before me. After that the press of Chaos armies was too severe, because I was auto-confederated with Stoic Woman, and now needed to hold 4 times as much territory, facing attacks from the north, west, and south. So I had to also help the dwindling Empire factions by retaking their settlements and giving them over when the ogres would run through. Nurgle got to 4 souls in 4 rifts, and I camped the Forge for 20+ turns to stop him. But then Greasus got 4 souls during that rift period, but I was given the option to teleport there when he attempted it. So, yeah, obviously I know better how to play Kislev now, and especially gunning for that Endercity with the port, to unlock the +500 resources on defense trait, among other stuff. But it was a very long campaign with a ton of battles, where I was never losing, but still lost because I didn't leave my faction leader's army parked on the Forge, so I'm salty about it.

The biggest problem I have is the "use all your movement points to do a thing" in the Realms, because wow is that padding, Slaanesh being the most egregious.

Ooph, sorry to hear it. What kind of allergies?

[TTTX]

Ooph, sorry to hear it. What kind of allergies?

I have no idea, but around the time of spring and autumn (or at least this where it happens the most, because my allergy seems to linked to when ever the weather changes) I feel not great just kinda bad and it is the most annoying feeling I get this time of year I hate it.

my nose gets stuffy and full of snot and my stomach feels uneasy and sometimes I sneeze.

It's remarkable how much the weather can change in the span of just a couple weeks. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever for the seasons to change, and other times it happens so quick you blink and you miss it.

Tradition says Spring is the time of rebirth and renewal, but Autumn is the period in which I feel most reinvigorated. The cooler weather, the vibrant reds and oranges and yellows of the leaves changing color, the countdown to the new year kicking off and the numerous holidays along the way, the foods that get served, several of the networks running horror movie marathons once October hits it’s stride… lovely.

Speaking at someone who was very recently 216 lbs at 6'6", that is not at all what Blanka would look like lol

All of the physical status for the entire cast of Steel Fighter are wack given their body types. Even the most uber-hardcore SF fan will happily admit to that, which they do, often.

"The Architect of Fate likes to help things along by getting his metaphysical hands dirty. He has recently acquired the Codex Astromantica, a relic of the Old Ones that maps the Geomantic Web – the mystical foundations of the Mortal Realms. His trillion faces instruct countless daemon-scribes within the Crystal Labyrinth to record plans within plans, which are then relayed to his disciples, who work tirelessly to unpick the skeins of reality. Unfortunately for the Changer of the Ways, this is a surefire way of drawing the ire of the Lumineth Realm-lords – sanctimonious stewards that they are – as well as the cold and calculating minds of the Slann, and the starhosts they command. But there’s always a chance that Tzeentch planned for all this… and that battling over these nodes of power is his way of drawing his enemies right to where he wants them – ensuring that the ensuing chaos of battle further weakens reality."

Sounds like a tough campaign, which is of course notably what Rasputin, erm, Konstantin represents for Kislev.

I've just begun a Cathay campaign with Zhao Ming, and, wow, that's pretty relaxing. Cathay really is the easy mode of the game.

Kinda. In that it requires a very particular playstyle that while thematic to what Kislev would be like in lore, is not intuitive.

Heh. I'm doing Valkia right now, and it's _cake_. Though a friend of mine just gave me his spare Switch, and I've ordered Pokemanz: Archeus, so I might take a TW break between then and there, but I've yet to touch Cathay. Mostly because strong, flying, caster lord + strong ranged + highly defensible lands seems my turtling dream.

Ahhh. Not gonna play it, but Wrath still makes me feel things. A simpler time. Remember speculating about the potential lore, what little we knew of Northrend, up until the official trailer. Would it be all tundra? Why wouldn't Arthas just immediately crush the Alliance/Horde? Are the nerubians still fighting? How could we possibly fight _The Lich King_? Meeemories.

Cathay is just a great combined arms army. Infantry which is very good at holding the line (80 armor on the tier one Jade Warriors, +10 if you play Zhao Ming), ranged with decent range (160), which can be improved with the red line (+10%) and for Jade Warriors with crossbows by another 10% through tech, GREAT artillery and okay/mediocre cavalry. And when you get Terracotta Sentinels, you got a great, unbreakable monster unit as well. Although because of the Ying/Yang mechanic, you need to keep formation, so there's that. I'll be very interested how CA expands the roster in the future.

The economy also is quite good, although having to balance Ying/Yang is kinda annoying at the beginning, much easier later, when you can simply hire a lord or hero to quickly balance out. And you want to keep the balance, the bonuses are too good to not do it.

Zhao Ming is also clearly the better LL, since he can easily pacify the ogres to his west, then turn around and eliminate the enemy factions in Cathay. He also provides much better buffs to his faction and army than Miao Ying.

Well, looks like I won't be playing OW2 after all. Blizz announced you have to register your fucking phone number with them, and they'll record voice chat in every match to be picked over by transcripting algorithms, in case you say the no-no words or bad think. It wouldn't even be a problem for me, and I could use a friend's phone if I had to, but the principle is egregious.

The "Blizzard keeps shooting itself in the foot" train that left the station years ago is still going strong with no end in sight. Hilarious and arrogant beyond belief that Blizzard thinks they have any kind of moral high ground from which to do something like this after the shit they’ve pulled, even putting aside the principle of it.

"'Dinosaur mummy': Researchers believe they found one of the best preserved dinosaurs ever: Researchers in Canada have discovered parts of what they believe to be a full "dinosaur mummy" lodged in a hillside, the University of Reading in the United Kingdom announced last week.
The two exposed fossils, a foot and part of a tail clad in fossilized skin, are believed to belong to a juvenile duck-billed Hadrosaur dinosaur that died somewhere between 77 million to 75 million years ago, roughly 10 million years before dinosaurs went extinct, researchers said. Scientists began excavation of the site to remove the entire remains from the hill. “It’s so well preserved you can see the individual scales, we can see some tendons and it looks like there’s going to be skin over the entire animal,” Brian Pickles, a paleontologist and ecology professor at the University of Reading, told USA TODAY. “Which means, if we’re really lucky, then some of the other internal organs might have preserved as well.” If the remains are in as good of shape as Pickles hopes, it would be one of the best preserved dinosaur fossils ever discovered and would provide scientists with a clearer picture of what the dinosaur looked like when it roamed the Earth.
A member of a field team led by Pickles, paleontologist Caleb Brown of Canada’s Royal Tyrrell Museum and scientists the University of New England in Australia first spotted the fossil poking out of a cliffside while on a scouting trip for an international field school last year at the Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. “It’s hard to imagine. This animal died 76 million years ago. It’s been perfectly preserved since then and it just happened to be just starting to erode out of this cliff when we were walking by,” Pickles said. "This animal probably either died and then immediately got covered over by sand and silt in the river," Pickles said. "Or it was killed because a river bank fell onto it."
Hadrosaur fossils are common in North America, but finding juveniles is rare. “Dinosaurs actually grew quite quickly so finding juveniles in the fossil record is important because it can tell us a lot about how their lives progressed,” Pickles said.
Pickles estimates the dinosaur to be about 13 feet long, around the length of a car. Adult Hadrosaurs were about 32 feet long, Pickles said.
It’s too early to identify the exact species. Scientists will need to analyze the skull, Pickles said. Even then, the skull may look different than anything in the record since the animal was still in its developing years."

All part of the overcorrection, just like I predicted back when the shit hit the fan. Have to let the new hires run the show to fix their toxic corporate culture, and then everything else too. The petty purge of innuendo and boobs from WoW was the warmup, down the line you get to the intrusive company-mandated Good Behavior, or else. Over _video games_.

Re: Dino - That is a fucking dragon. 70 million year old preserved skin my ass, they're about to kick of Reign of Fire.
