To be fair on Dunmer they hate each other just as much, if they’re the wrong kind of Dunmer, Outlanders, Ashlanders or a rival house etc

The giant spiders are the friendly ones though.

At least those people who have been hoarding shipping containers of pennies so that they can sell the metal when they're no longer currency are going to be happy.

Hagiography is not uncommonly used sarcastically to describe a fawning biography.

Thanks, I know about latifunda in the terms of calling plantations in South America that and Patrick Wyman saying latifunda on podcasts. So I could back form at a guess.

I feel like they were an ascending order of normalcy

Oppobrium? I have no idea

Latifundium? I'm not sure but I guess has to do with latifunda which are like plantations

Bellicose? Warlike from latin, bella being war

Effete? The thing I get called

Obviously modding it until it breaks is an option for Skyrim. But one way I like to play is to do the normal game but as soon as I butt up against a problem or find something lacking fix it with mods.

Right now with my Vampire Lesbian, the Bloodchill Manor was feeling a bit lonely. I had turned Carine a beggar into a vampire for a previous quest. I used the mod that lets you turn beggars into servants. So now I have a named vampire I created keeping my place tidy, alongside my wife Uthgerd and a human thrall in the cell. I'm going to get the bone wolf as a pet too, because my character is also a powerful necromancer. Maybe use a mod to adopt that Aretino kid to raise as an assassin if I ever do the Dark Brotherhood.

They did a Trashfuture episode on him and he is a real weirdo.

I mean historically there was a difference between vulgarity (saying rude stuff) and cursing (insulting/invoking disdain at people or circumstances).

People said fuck and shit (or their equivalents) etc for thousands of years, but not necessarily as cursing or insults. Mother fucker, shit head etc are much more modern, even if the words are older.

People were much more religious so saying god damn you/burn in hell etc was serious and often the thing used to curse. “What in damnation” sounds silly but it was offensive. Some people still are really religious.

Blasphemy/taking the lords name etc was a bigger deal. I know in Italy if you’re really pissed off you still say “porco dio” or god-pork/pig, it’s an absurd thing, but the severe blasphemy makes it so rude.

Probably why it was a plot point in the show, those restrictions were getting challenged legally or being considered outdated at the time. But by the 90s mostly all gone.

Ashkenazi Jews were definitely fully white by the 90s that’s a hard point, I think most country club bans were overturned in the late 80s, Seinfeld was the most successful show on tv and everyone was living in the end of history where there wasn’t anything silly like racism to light skinned minorities.

Before then it was a process. You might have a Jewish doctor or lawyer, but there were degrees of othering and exclusion.

I heard about this in Boonta Vista's Big Egg segment. They really are the premier small news podcast.

 

 

A Christmas Prince, The Royal Wedding and The Royal Baby. (And the Princess Switch trilogy)

They’re about a woman from New York who falls in love with a prince from Europe and marries him.

I thought the country they live in is meant to be tiny like San Marino or Lichtenstein. And the film seems to suggest it’s the case, given they say Aldovia doesn’t have a military.

But this map (albeit from 1419) of Aldovia, Belgravia and Pengali, the latter being countries in a parallel in-universe project and a sequel would completely alter history if the countries were or are even a bit of the size.

Like obviously it’s a silly thing made for Americans who don’t understand the scale of Europe’s geography and history but it’s funny thinking about the historical ramifications.

What happened in either World Wars. Was Pengali part of the USSR? Or even further back with Napoleon or the 30 years war etc.

 

I've said this before but I think if anyone was trying to make a game in the Mad Max universe, it shouldn't be a narrative driven game where you play as Max or Furiosa etc.

You should be the random war rig driver for a local petty warlord. Focusing on how to transport your delivery quickly, without damaging the rig badly or using too much guzzoline.

The best parts of 3-4 out of 5 movies involve a rig being chased and attacking convoys was fun in the very okay video game.

As the game progressed you'd unlock better appearance options, armor, weapons and even nick names. The same for your war crew. You'd upgrade experienced members into being black thumbs/fingers, organic mechanics, maybe even a history man for morale/reputation.

The rig would get upgraded with better engines, weapons, defenses etc. You'd unlock or capture escort vehicles which you could drive as well.

You could even start the game stylistically in between films 1-2, with initially just biker gangs as the attackers, but eventually you'd driving through canyons blasting berserker cannibals parachuting down on you etc.

 

This is not a bit. Dead serious. There is a luxurious hotel suite for a long weekend with whatever food, treats, toys and equipment you both request.

They are you from another reality where some mundane event is slightly different on the other side of the solar system yet to reach us. They are not a clone or time traveller. Everyone goes back to their own reality at the end. They are you with all of the benefits no complications or ethical questions.

And just in case no they cannot be gender swapped. (Curious why you might ask this? Hmm)

Do you have sex?

You can do other stuff of course if so comment. I love my ace comrades.
