He has the most Super Bowls as a player, and is tied second in the list of most Super Bowl wins for an entire team.
He's not too bad.

I don't watch sports much, but when I do, wow. Things get absolutely insane.
The moral of the story is don't take the piss out of Tom Brady.
Not really sure why it is, but it is, nonetheless.

Yeah retinues are kinda pointless unless you're pull in enough cash to hire and maintain several thousand at a time. There's nothing they can do you can't otherwise do with a levy, except have them raised prior to declaring war.

« on: February 05, 2017, 03:27:34 pm »Can someone name/recommend me Ironman-compatible "quality of life" mods? I'm planning on playing lowly count from Ireland in 700s, and I also want to test some life-improving mods, but I don't know which are the best of the bunch. Advice on how to survive Norse raids are also welcome.
Surviving some raids requires getting enough prestige to upgrade your holding. Hovering over them'll get you a tooltip telling you how many troops you get with the next upgrade.
DO NOT change to feudalism if you only have one fully upgraded holding.
You need to do some raiding yourself to get prestige too, usually of feudal holdings. Anyone you raid won't raise their troops from the county you raid, so single counties are alright, choosing the county with the largest levy of a multiple county entity is also a good idea, though you can only really raid counties bordering your own stuff, unless it's a coastal county and you have a ship to get the loot.

Be grateful to the cat for killing it and saving you from diseases. It's what they have been domesticated for. That cat won't understand why the hell it got punished.
Bearing in mind the cat brought said pest animal into the house and proceeded to eat it :p
Still rather have a cat, though.

I have found that being tired makes me more prone to being sad, perhaps a good night's sleep wouldn't be amiss?

Could've lost duchies via de jure drift to other empires, or even taken duchies via de jure drift into Britannia too.
Anyway, all your children will gain claims on all the titles that their parents have, when that parent dies. You can wait 'til your heir reaches adulthood, murder your husband, then declare war on the successor of England.
Also, your husband's profile should tell you who the heir to England is.

This administration, man. If it didn't seem like this administration thinks they're actually doing good, I'd find their complete incompetence funny.

Yeah, cuts and abrasions in the nose are annoying, and usually very painful. It's great that they also make it hard enough to breathe through your nose that you need to keep poking at it, or go mad.

It's more horror than 4, 5, and 6.
It gets more action-like the further into the game, it seems, but it starts out pretty solidly in a horror kinda place. Not that that says much, seeing as you don't have anything at the start of the game, so the more you get, the more comfortable you feel defending yourself instead of running away, I guess.
Perhaps a microcosm of the RE series as a whole.

« on: February 04, 2017, 03:29:55 am »You know... a huge trend in bad horror games is that they all feature a gun as the ultimate weapon at around the end of the game.Catharsis.
But now I am seriously noticing how many horror games (and non-sandbox survival games) end basically on an action note... Where all of a sudden items are just thrown at you for the final section.
Good horror games know that catharsis is for losers and people who beat their games should still feel a sense of dread.
This is why the ending of RE7 is so disappointing.
That and the "but thou must!"-esque choice shortly beforehand.
