Last post by DGuller - December 21, 2025, 12:03:57 PMThis one is slightly off-topic; it's not about my recommendations, but about YouTube recommendations. A few days ago a retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family were killed in a plane crash.
Here is the video I watched:

Last post by Duque de Bragança - December 21, 2025, 11:14:20 AMI have to agree with the crypto Judeo-Moor on this one Viper, sorry. Get your clichés right! 
By the way, Cabral is close enough to cabrão (think of gros bouc), for the pun brigade or herd.
I see a Gabriel Cabral in your link, not Emanuel but that's indeed Portuguese.

Young girls don't seem on brand for either one of them.
You were expecting Noam Chomsky?! I am impressed.
I really doubt they were discussing linguistics or automated translation.

Last post by Syt - December 21, 2025, 10:00:57 AMAP had a photo collection documenting impact of climate change: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/climate-change-environment-weather-photos-2025-6981b6aff56a36e054b85bbb76d1d449
(Primarily through environmental disasters which are likely to increase.)
I didn't initially post here because it would be a mix of preaching to the choir and posters who are not overly concerned.

That does not surprise me. It is the lack of reporting in US based news media that is more notable.

Last post by Syt - December 21, 2025, 09:34:25 AMHad a quick look at the reception of the 1.0.10 patch that was released last week after being in beta for a while. According to latest Dev Diary, this is the final patch before 1.1 in February, after Cristmas break.
From what I can see players have three issues:
1. Crazy AI aggression (e.g., England/France/Bohemia now blob crazy into the HRE and eat most of it within a century). They seem very fond of non-CB wars, and don't mind going after any and all minors they can gobble up (even if they're vassals of their friends). Also leads to border gore. Some players say this is awesome, most seem rather pissed off.
2. Nobles not marrying/breeding. People run out of potential cabinet members and commanders fast. Apparently the game is balanced so it tries to maintain twice as many courtiers as you have cabinet positions. Players note that it means that they often don't have enough commanders for their armies and navies. Johan said on the forums today that the game was balanced around not every army/fleet having a commander.
3. Fleet battles seem broken and often result in no battle being fought (but ships being taken as prizes).
Though I guess Ryagi, who posted the patch notes, expected some "reaction" from fans, considering they used this illustration depicting a comet to headline the post.
