Im about 40 hours into King Arthur and its going really well I like how the economy works and how your Camelot upgrades really become significant I am at the part where I have chosen the Fairy Knight over Gawain I love the combat mechanics but I have one criticism I wish I could change the combat difficulty before battles. Its a QOL change I tend to play on Normal and Moderate and I have had 1-2 end boss battles on Moderate where I couldn't win but I could on Normal But you can only be at Camelot to change the combat difficulty, you cant do it during quests, and then you have to do the whole quest again And if I leave it on Normal then combat becomes a little easy Moderate is my preferred setting Anyway its more a QOL change because when you redo quests it doesn't take long

This is a reality of having different countries in a working union. Its expected to have different opinions on geopolitical events But the EU is better than no EU. The single market and reality of the Euro are advantages for its members Lots of countries want to create a similar economic model to the EU like Africa with the AU We constantly talk about the economic advantages of inter-Africa trade and that requires an EU model of the unity of Africa But by default that doesnt mean countries will agree on all geopolitical events like Israel, Russia or these US tariffs -
Best thing YT provides for me are the cooking shows , cute dog and animal interactions and then gaming updates around things like mod collections, mod managers or game strategies around different classes if you not familiar with a ruleset The gaming videos can be very informative, I mastered Mod Organizer 2 by using YT But the political updates and opinions are probably the worst reason to use YT

EU failed in trade talks because it members failed to have united goal, Germany and France wanted quick resolution and other members also had differing agendas. Situation is same with Israel, Germany refuses to give any opinion and other members have quite differing opinions about the situation, so EU fails to have any opinion on the situation. So EU is currently failing as union. -

What do you mean by " It is same factors why EU don't do anything to prevent Israel starving population of Gaza, even though it is something that EU by its own laws should be against. " Im interested in where you see the connection between this and why the EU doesnt create other trade markets outside the USA List all the factors if you have time? -

China exports to US because US buys stuff from the China. China's efforts to find new trade partners has hampered the fact that EU and co have also put tariffs for Chinese goods. But those markets that I mentioned are accessible and EU already is in in talks with them and alternatives for US trade should already exists more, but EU's US buddies segment has has slowed down the progress past decade, because they think that USA is our friend. you need functional supply chains - supply chains exits with the countries that I mentioned you need a trade agreement - there are existing trade agreements with the countries that I mentioned, but these trade agreements should be made better, comparable to one that EU has had with the USA. you need a country that can buy your goods and can absorb what the US buys - these countries need to only partially absorb the things that US buys, because big sunk of the goods that USA buys from Europe does not have alternatives and USA can't produce them itself, so regardless of how trade war goes USA companies needs to buy those goods from Europe or go out of the business. So even worst trade war can't really remove big sunk of the trade. All the things I mentioned were things that EU's commission itself offered as options, but they decided against them because many factors, from which majority has nothing to do with the trade. It is same factors why EU don't do anything to prevent Israel starving population of Gaza, even though it is something that EU by its own laws should be against. -

I finished the "Lower Decks" episode of TNG and I can see how they could do a series with this theme. One of the best episodes of the show. -
Oisin started following Director Shmector Boss Arena Locked
-
I think I know exactly what caused the issue. I entered the directors boss arena in multiplayer, and the moment i interacted with the button an invasion happened at my base where my friend was. It soft locked me, and I couldn’t leave the room without resetting and game repairing my backpack. The door is still locked from the outside. I’ve seen this is a lasting issue since 2022 but maybe not for the same cause, let me know if there’s anything you can do! Already contacted Obsidian to try and have them back door my world.

Getting ripped off for a bridge would honestly be a bigger win than any of Trump's incredible deals. I think the biggest thing about the deals is really just putting Trump's name on them, the contents of such are meaningless so long as he can say that he's made a beautiful deal that no one's ever seen before. So long as Trump gets to claim victory, the terms of victory don't matter at all. Also, between this and the whole Obamagate 2.0, Trump is trying to throw up as much **** to distract from him being a pdf file*. *I'm betting a substantial amount of his people do the "it's actually hebephila" thing we used to make fun of certain libertarians for. -
Oh I didn't know you were asking about a mod conflicting with Deadfire Collected Fixes. Hmm, I'd say if you're set on using Booty Buster, use the 5 files from that mod over mine. 15_cv_fleet_master_okaya, 03_cv_nera, and 00_cv_nairi only address a few pretty minor quirks. Basically just small things that stuck out to me as sort of weird when I encountered them. 03_cv_director_castol - My version just fixes a missing reward for one specific outcome of a quest called Of Like Minds. While Aleksandrs' file doesn't have this fix, it does increase the overall rewards for a lot of VTC factions quest. There is also still a way to get the quest reward from SPOILER when choosing to help SPOILER with SPOILER. See walkthrough of quest if you want details and spoilers: https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Of_Like_Minds 27_cv_court_of_woedica_player_interrupts - Fixes a quest bug during Lost Dues in Good Faith when selecting a response unique to a Steel Garrote Paladin or Priest of Woedica and adds a bit of Serafen disapproval that was present on a similar response so I added it. I have a fall back implemented in "drunkards_regret.gamedatabundle" that should fix the bug if you run into it.

But here is the real problem, I dont think these other markets are as accessible or a realistic alternative to the US for several reasons To create new markets you need 3 main things you need functional supply chains you need a trade agreement you need a country that can buy your goods and can absorb what the US buys China is an export driven economy, its the second largest global economy and twice they have been subjected to US tariffs from Trump and yet they still haven't found alternative export markets so they can bypass the US. Why would China continue to export to the US if they could export to other markets? The US is still Chinas biggest export market And then South Africa is part of BRICS and that includes Brazil and India and yet after 15 years we have a massive trade deficit, R270 billion, with BRICS because these countries also protect there own markets. But we have a R37 billion trade surplus with the USA Im not saying its a bad idea to find other markets outside the US, I wish South Africa could do it. Im saying its not that easy or realistic as you seem to think -

EU needs to find new export markets because of this deal. For example 70% of Finnish exporting small business companies say that 15% tariffs will remove their ability to work in US market. Only companies that already have production in US say that they are able to continue the trade with the US. So getting 15% instead of 30% is next nothing. Avoiding trade war with US does mainly help the those businesses that don't have competition in US market, so they will not suffer from the tariffs. Other businesses needs to find new customers, because they can't live with profit margins that they get from US trade. Increasing trade with Mexico and Canada would help with exports. India, Brazil, Australia and Argentina would help also with exports, but it would also help with products where we EU has given import quota to US, to move that quota import quota to other countries. Putting tariffs for GOP states would force GOP politician in congress to do some thing or risk billions of dollars worth of trade in their states, as US companies could just continue with 0% tariff trade with EU by moving to democratic state, which would cause internal conflict in US that would make trade war more difficult to run. But anyway this was victory for European nationalist parties, as it showed that EU failed to protect EU's trade and it does not help to say it could have been worst when they failed to get single positive change in their negotiation. -
gamebundle files are basically just text / script / code. Inside of them there's code that adds new items et cetera, or they will change what is already in the game. An example, which will probably explain some what you already know, but there's a point at the end of it. Jump to last line in my post for too-long-didnt-read. If I make a mod that changes a specific armor's stats or something, I look up that specific armor's ID number in the game and in my own mod I change the stats Obsidian gave that item. I write my tiny code change in an item.gamedatabundle file and place it in the override \ mod folder for the game. I haven't written anything about any other item or element of the game and thus the only thing my mod will affect is this specific item. If I make another mod for some other item, a weapon or something, and not adding code for any other stuff than this new item, my new mod is perfectly compatible with my first mod. But had I coded anything that would state something else about the same specific armor in my first mod, it would be a conflict of which mod would take precedence, and I must make a choice for which one I want. Now, the point is: The gamedatabundles files can have the same name for the mods, that is no issue at all. It is the code inside them that could potentially be a problem, if they state different things about the same element of the game – items and such. The most common potential clashes, from what I've noticed digging around to learn how to make mods, seems to be that mod makers who make a new item also add their item to a specific merchant in the game – else the item wouldn't be accessible for the player to purchase. But the mod makers copy the list of what the merchant sells and then also places their mod item into that list. If you have two separate item mods that places their new item in the same merchant's inventory, that would clash and only one of the modified lists for the merchant will be used: the one above the other mod in the mod manager. I saw somewhere that you can make a script that just checks what the merchant has in their inventory and then just add the new item to it, which would most likely make two mods altering the same merchant compatible with each other. But that is something that isn't obvious or as direct for most modders, myself included. I would only manage this if I saw an example of it. After this wall of text, finally: read the description for your mods and unless they mention the same item, character, stat, et cetera, you are most likely a 100 % safe.

Is China also a US vassal, they have agreed to 30% tariffs ? I assume it must be if the definition of a US vassal state is negotiating terms around the tariffs? -

BruceVC replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
Just to be clear are you saying the EU should not have made trade concessions with the US like it did and just paid the 30% but it should have also done what you suggesting in this post. So basically a tariff war with the US because that is exactly what tariffs on GOP states would create? And where does the EU find new export markets because these examples seem to be about imports to the EU? Or when you mention Brazil and India do you mean they could replace the US as an export market -
Doesn't mean much. It's been going on and off hiatus since before the first anime was announced. We'll see how many chapters we get this time around.

Yeah... there is one way it could work. Rebadge Russian hydrocarbons. Already being done extensively by Azerbaijan, India and Turkey at very least. You know Trump would love to be in on that rort considering how much cash it's making the Aliyev and Erdogan families. (OK, even that would struggle to get to 250bn p/a, but it would get a lot closer)
