Hi, I wanted a more experienced opinion here. I have an intellijel Cascadia, and wanted to work towards one big case that can play alongside the Cascadia. This would be my only case, and my existing modules will go here (maths, perkons, pam, quad vca, tetrapad+tete, morphagene). Specific goals would be Atmosphere + rythym, with some fun hands-on control. The Cascadia would handle the more basic synth-y noises, and I could modulate/color/loop from here.

I guess my problem is that in a bigger case I keep adding these random utility modules while not being actually sure what I'd do with them. I'm so used to VCV rack where I can ju

Reading forums, I've seen people with crazy amounts of synths they've sold. Are you all just selling + shipping them on reverb?

​

I'm trying to consolidate my synths down to 1 or 2 big ones right now. (Which might just be waiting for a matriarch to appear, and then using VSTs otherwise. Dunno) But I haven't managed to pull the trigger yet.

​

Between not being 100% sure I have all the original packaging/tiny cables and the fear of shipping things that feel pretty fragile/massive (A summit, for instance), I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

​

I'm tempted to bring them to a store, but in Illinois we don't have anywhere like Perfect Circuit. I imagine guitar center wo

After getting into using my DAW, I've decided to consolidate my synths down a ton. Instead of a bunch of tiny little dudes, I'd like mainly one big synth with a great interface/expressivity that I can really learn the manual and play as an instrument.

I know whenever this question comes up, people say to just ignore the warnings and companies just slap them on there for safety. But until I got a secondhand Summit, I'd never seen that warning on a synth before. As far as I can tell, it has to be *somewhere* on the unit, and somewhere accessible. I just want to know if it's something I need to worry about.

I'd assume it's in the solder, but as far as I know lead solder is barely ever used anymore. If it was anything that wasn't lead, I'd ignore it, but it's just something I don't want to at least double check.

I know this is a big "I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas!" moment, but I really am so clueless on this that I don't even know how to try.

I'll be 30 soon, and not once in the past ten years have I gone out and met a new person. The obvious answer is to just go "out" and talk to someone, but what *is* "out"? No one I know goes to a bar, or a club, or really anywhere that isn't a restaurant or their house. And any parties they host with multiple groups just turn into little pods of people who already know each other. As someone who has lived in the suburbs their entire life, that's the world I know, really. Groups show up somewhere, talk only within themselves, and then leave. Int

There was a post earlier how the most optimal strategy is to surround your capital with cities in high control states. Totally correct, but the situation is actually worse I think: If you don't do that, any country beyond a city state doesn't even work.

See, a thing I noticed across multiple (abandoned) games is that only one ever saw estates build anything: Venice. I'd just assumed it was an urbanization thing, but it all comes back to control. Every location is always paying maintenance money, but only with control do you or the estates actually make any income from it. And the rest goes to the pockets of rebels. So in a 20 control province, you all could be paying 8 to make 10...and ins

In Crusader Kings, you set up a goal for the war, you fight it, and you either get it or you don't. No negotiation, no nothing. In a silly medieval world where each war needs a specific legal claim, that's cool. Not cool in Victoria.

It's 1884 and Russia has a Somalian state in its bloc, and Britain tries to take it. I'm cool with this escalating into a huge war, dumber stuff happened. But since Russia isn't the main participant, they can (if they're lucky), only add one 25 maneuver goal. And if they're not lucky, can't add anything.

It's been 4 years. 2 million people are dead. Russia can't enforce peace unless they burn London to the ground, and if they do, they get nothing. The UK has

Anyone else occasionally not having their annexation events appear after annexing a country in a war? I had conquered Europe as Radsoc Russia, and I'd had the major country releases appear, but nearly everything in Austria Hungary just never showed up for me to release them.

I've been trying to dig around the files to figure out how to perhaps trigger these manually through the console, but haven't figured out yet. (If anyone knows that too)

Coming back to this mod after a while, and I can't quite figure out if I'm actually paying anything towards maintaining state owned property. I check my budget in the "Assess Bureaucracy and Stability" menu, and I'm paying 0 towards Maintenance, even though I can see that the auto-maintenance has set me up to be paying at least something (at least according to the little green/yellow/red arrows on province UI screens). But each year, I can see state owned percentage of property shrinking. And if I try to reset the auto-maintenance amounts by turning it off in Utilities and manually setting things, the numbers just flip back on provinces at the end of the year anyway...and I still don't pay

Not a bad thing at all, but because of work, I've gotta stay out in the Chicago suburbs. And as I get older it's worrying me more and more.

Every time I see people in here recommend becoming a regular at cafes or bars or meets, I can't connect it to any sort of reality I can see in the suburbs. Things feel more like an archipelago of disconnected businesses where you show up, pay for your thing, and leave. I can't think of any sort of normal social hang out spot, and I have no idea where I'd even figure that out. And anything I ever have seen feels geared toward families and the elderly. And if that relegates me to using apps, I guess I'd still be worried about people being put off by me be

When playing as the Soviet Union, frontlines just don't work for me, forcing me to turn them off entirely until I'm winning the war. The problem is that Frontlines really only work when advancing, and not retreating, due to how units are given orders. When units are shuffling around to balance the front, the move orders double as attack orders, and this completely kills the ability to defend.

Basically, your units will try to relocate to a tile, but if enemy units get there first, your unit will try to move into the tile anyway. This never works. It instead creates a cascade effect where your troops suicidally charge into advancing enemy stacks. And then once those de-orged troops get push
