Houses are a lot bigger now.  But again, my frame of reference is growing up in the 70s. 

There are condos now, but I am not sure how that makes things more unsafe.

I missed that exploit :(

Meanwhile. CK3 had its mod that added a couple thousand potential dog names to the game.

Victoria does this:

QuoteEloquent Treaties

A mod that transforms Victoria 3's vanilla treaty screen into actual treaty documents written in formal text format.
Experience various preambles based on different conditions.

Features

Toggle between treaty formats: Switch between the standard treaty interface and formal treaty text through a button in the treaty window for an immersive diplomatic experience with authentic treaty language.

Compatibility

Safe for ongoing games - Can be applied to games in progress
High compatibility - Only modifies UI elements (specifically the Treaty_panel.gui file), so it's compatible with virtually all other mods

Translation Guidelines

Currently Officially Supported Languages
Korean
English

Machine Translation Support
The following languages are currently provided through machine translation, but we encourage native speakers to create separate sub-mods to improve naturalness and reduce awkwardness:

Japanese (日本語)
Chinese (中文)
Portuguese (Brazilian) (Português Brasileiro)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Spanish (Español)
Polish (Polski)
Russian (Русский)
Turkish (Türkçe)

Font Recommendations Needed

I have the ability to specify different fonts for each language in the MOD. Since fonts must be adjusted in the main mod, we kindly request native speakers of each language to recommend copyright-free fonts suitable for their respective languages.

You are welcome to make suggestions in your native language rather than English.

Quote from: HVC on July 03, 2025, 06:38:21 AMIn favour of rapping Hungary on the knuckles (although I sincerely doubt it'll ever happen) but Ukraine membership in euro is way, way too premature. After all the shit Hungarians done surprised that's the straw for Denmark.

It's negotiations. These can go on for decades. Just ask the turks

Turkey won't ever be let in because they're Muslim.

one should hope that's the case.

Pokerface S2 E1. Fun episode, though the plot was maybe A BIT overengineered (directed by Rian Johnson :P ) with too abrupt a resolution for me (though with some twists thrown in), and I feel Natasha Lyonne turned up the Columbo-esque quirkiness maybe a bit much? :D

Neighborhood design is part of it too.  Houses are closer together, there are more basement suites, streets are narrower, and there are more parked cars.

If I want to live in a neighborhood of my youth I literally need to move into one built during my youth.

My copy of "I, Napoleon" is still on backorder.

But.

I've just picked up a boxed copy of "Legion of Honor" for EUR 10.

^_^



(Was looking for new copies, but they only seem to come in ziplock these days, and cost a lot more than a tenner.)

Honestly, though, as a pedestrian, streets in North America have become more dangerous. Cars are much bigger today, drivers much more intolerant of shared usage, neighborhoods have become a lot more car-centric. This obviously does not explain the general rise of anxiety about kids well-being, but I think it contributes to it.

Pretty good for a city that's nowhere near the sea.
