this thread details all of the bugs and strategies for the Paradox: Dawn of Chaos game. If your Jeb! has died due to a bug, or your Avocado War event won't trigger it may have an explanation for a strategy for how to work around it.

From the OP:

Hi folks! We here at Paradox Interactive are extremely excited to bring you our latest grand strategy title, Dawn of Chaos IV, covering covering the tumultuous events from 2001 all the way to the end of the Second Water War. We're targeting a 1.0 release sometime in late 198 A.C., but we already have an early alpha build playable for pre-order purchasers of Gold-Tier or higher. We've got an ambitious feature list with lots of changes from DoC III, including the much-requested overhauls of the nuclear warfare and space combat mechanics, as well as a much more dynamic system for modeling the degradation of the Earth's ecological resources that occurred during this period in history.

if you don't make it to C-spam often it's worth a look.

So I've been playing a NA campaign on Realistic to avoid any major divergences. It was pretty hard work early on - the game still randomises wind direction after the bomb, and it went east this game which is about as damaging as it gets. I've just got past the Six Californias Fire while acquiring the critical population centres for New New Mexico (see map below). I'm just about to begin the Siege of Los Angeles but all my forces keep getting hit with Fake Flu, and even with the coastline I have I can't desalinate enough water to treat it effectively. Anyone got any tips? I've thought about releasing Ocasio from prison early for the morale boost, but besides being ahistorical I can't see how I'll survive the heat without that to fall back on later.

The Legos Megathread

The Legos Megathread is for any and all discussion on the classic Danish building brick, Legos. Lots of talk of new stuff coming out, sales happening and deals to be found, new parts being designed and what they can be used for, and a good amount of people posting their own creations. There's some really amazing stuff people custom build in that thread, here's some examples of posts of stuff people in the thread have made:

I'll be honest, the crane boom is straight from 42009 and the grabber from 42020, but I find pure Technic pretty difficult to MOC.

Tiny House & Chevy C10



My partner had a request: a minifig scale, fully functional tiny house. They wanted a lofted sleeping area, painted siding, and a wood-colored interior. They also wanted it to open down the middle, dollhouse-style. So I made one! And then I decided it needed a truck to tow it around, so I built a 1970 C10 with the custom trim package.




It features a kitchen with sink and microwave, a bathroom with toilet and shower, stairs with built-in shelving that lead to the bed, and a table with chairs that stow on the wall. The exterior features painted siding, gas and battery power, and folding wheel chocks to hold it in place when it's not being transported. They also act as supports for the half that folds open.



The truck (pictured without hitch) is a relatively straightforward build. I'm happy with the shaping and color blocking, but my favorite detail is definitely the small body panel gap between the cab and the bed.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
My favorite reoccurring thread on the forums for a long time have been the FYAD Goonlulz threads; all of the past ones being in the FYAD goldmine, and that link goes to the currently live one, which starts a bit slow if you start from page one, but does get rolling.

The goonlulz threads are a place to re-post funny, weird and absurd stuff from across the forums. Basically, whatever part of SA you're interested in; whether the burger thread in the subforum for cooking or the heroin thread for the subforum about doing drugs and dying; you've probably seen some Goon or other post some severely stupid poo poo that others outside your chosen subforum or thread would find funny, and goonlulz is the place to re-post that kind of thing.

You get all kinds of re-posts from across the +60 SA subs, ranging from silly, lighthearted re-posts, to re-posts that showcase some of the more bizarre and sometimes off-putting stories that happens on SA. FYAD allows for in-line nws content, and the goonlulz threads are not exactly a court of justice where everyone gets treated with absolutely fairness, but if you're interested in a worst-and-dumbest-poo poo-of-the-forums showcase thread with the occasional meltdown, then the goonlulz thread really is the best thread for it.

Ok seriously yay glad I remembered:
Tonight there is a Democratic Presidential candidate debate and there will be at least one thread in DnD/Cspam dedicated to it.
My night is made because I'm telling you those threads are FUNNY.
IF you follow politics at all they are worth reading. I do so right after the debate, they move too fast during, and without fail there is lol fr posts. Goons in DnD are wonks but WITTY.
I will link tonight.

Edit: I've been looking out for debate threads in there for a few years now and reading them is some of the most fun I have had on SA. There is an indescribable hilarity in reading HE JUST ATE A BOOGER ON STAGE 500 ways in real time.

Here is tonight's debate thread, my guess is page 305 or so is when debate starts, its at page 298 20 min out.
