[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Dinh AaronMk]

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

Pretty much, if you see me on Steam 99% of the time it's not me. My brother hi-jacked my account months ago and plays Rocket League under my name. I'll give it a glance and let you know.

@Byrd Man

k bby, ty, luv u

You need to retake control of your Steam account so I can annoy the actual you.

[Wilted Rose]

No one uses steam anymore, Discord is where it's at.

[Byrd Man]

Meanwhile I miss the days of MSN and AOL messenger...

[Vilageidiotx]

I remember msn messenger being a monster for CPU usage. Take an hour to restart if you had it installed

don't know what discord is though, besides something Greek gods sow when they are bored

[Wilted Rose]

its kinda skype, kinda steam chat, kinda some meme shit. Pretty much this.

[Dinh AaronMk]

What I gather from Discord is that it's like a stripped down basic version of Skype, and you can maybe tie it with your Steam account so it tells you what vidya you're playing. It's primarily geared towards gamers who want a third-party voice chat platform without using in-game voice communication or Steam's often-times described "poor" voice features.

It also doesn't hog CPU use so you can play video-games with it on without murdering your RAM. You might maybe use it while playing Verdun (where player-to-player chat is restricted to text in the spirit of the old-school comp shooters it's based off of) or DayZ which'll demand a lot of RAM and where the voice-chat is restricted to the local area because like in the spirit of ARMA that sort of thing is all supposed to be a simulator of real-life, so you talk very locally or use radios to shout at people across the map.

@Vilageidiotx

It's a thing in some TF2 group I'm in but never used because the more I think about it the more convinced I am I hate about half of them on somedays.

And there's a Skype chat I'm sort-of in though I don't know why, but they run some MST3K style weekly live-stream where they shit-talk over old and terrible movies and they're moving to Discord because it's just all around more reliable than a Skype call (which can randomly drop someone and then make it next to impossible to rejoin).

Barracks close out got the Corps wanting to wash our mouths with handguns. Stay tuned for more.

[Space Communist]

Sup nerds! It's been a while, huh?

Just dropping by to let you guys know that I finally got around to updating those old Civ V Precipice mods of mine. I managed to upload one to the Steam Workshop - "it", in this case, being Hou's China, with new uniques and everything. I'm nearly done updating another familiar face, but in the meantime I plan on finishing up the Hou mod first.

Edit: Oh and I'll probably throw in a little something-something for Mexico, now that I'm here. Maybe. Ima have to assess the situation for the Americas before I make any posts ;)

[Vilageidiotx]

The artwork is really impressive. I think that finished Hou screen should be tossed in the rotator.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I should toss both in.

My complaint though is that Hou doesn't wear a belt. Or at least my understanding of the Zhongshang suit is that it doesn't require a belt at all.



Other than that: you have my approval. I like the guy in the comments too who wants to see a Oceania civilization.

I'll toss your Hou picture on the Hou page as well, somewhere.

@Dinh AaronMk

Aw shucks, now I feel like i've actually accomplished something with my life :3

@Dinh AaronMk

Ah, I see. I can touch up the image if you'd like.

@Dinh AaronMk

Oh dang, I hadn't even seen those comments yet! I might just make an Oceania mod one day (well, as soon as I finish my old Animal Farm mod :P)

@Dinh AaronMk

yee~

@Space Communist

Also since you're still here (supposedly) and on Mexico: I don't think anything had happened in North America per-say, but the Third International did agree that war needs to happen against Spanish aggression in Africa. It's not a move that forces everyone in the Comintern to declare war on Spain, but has helped served as a reason for some to reinforce their commitment and to follow up on their own. What's compulsory now of all members is to contribute something to the defense of Africa.

China has yet to make any formal declarations.

[Vilageidiotx]

A misplaced belt is way better than Hou looking like, well...

This

I suppose next time you get around to a PoW civ after Efiopia, you'd need to do Spain, since Sotelo currently looks like...

This

[Dinh AaronMk]

@Vilageidiotx

Sotelo looks very fashionable in a dress.

@Vilageidiotx

Wait shit, did the leaderscreen not load for Hou? I swear to god if it didn't....

@Vilageidiotx

Hey now, if Sotelo wants to wear a dress then let him! He's just expressing himself as any Spanish despot should.

@Dinh AaronMk

Ah yes, sounds about the same as when I was last around. Guess Mexico needs to mobilize, or at least send relief supplies to refugees/misplaced civilians in Africa. Or something like that. We'll figure it out.

Which reminds me, I should probably start working on getting, I dunno, an actual fucking plot going for Mexico, as I should've done months ago. HOORAY FOR PUTTING THINGS OFF!

[Vilageidiotx]

@Space Communist

Oh no, I haven't tried the mod out yet. Those were just screenshots I took from google.

EDIT: I went ahead and tested it, and the image works in game. No problems there.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I'd like to say Vilage has been doing great work simply adding new snippits to the Wiki.
