1.4k in Attila

Attila really was a fcking legend. The reversed start of collapsing empire and the actual need to supplicate before the might of the Huns 😭

A neotenoid, or maybe neotenist

shaving your head is a one-step aging neutralizer. You will be of indeterminate age from 28-60, depending on skincare and genetics

To be fair, they probably meant “this year, you reached 915 days with us”

Yes, and that’s okay 🏳️‍🌈

Ughhhhh I had the exact same experience. It made me feel so bad for having to go to a tutorial after feeling so accomplished from sussing everything else out. And then finding out it was a slight platforming error just left me frustrated with myself and the near perfection of that game

If he was purely expressing emotional vulnerability about the loss of his uncle in an otherwise nonadversarial conversation, probably.

If the context included anything about war, politics, military, or even just anything other than his mourning the loss of a family member, heck no.

What do you mean by “protected under the law”? And what constitutes disruptive protest?

I would LOVE this. Especially if the war of the ring or other plot was on-going and you could participate as you pleased, potentially shifting the balance one way or the other. The idea of an open world RPG where the world exists and evolves with or without you is my dream. Mount and Blade is almost that, but for being too army/strategy/overworld focused, and the lord of the rings mod for warband had me hooked for a long time before the limitations got to me

Amazing

That’s all fair, but framing the sequence of events as entirely unilateral action by the AfD is just as slanted as the article, and we’re better than that.

Probably a key piece of context is that they were invited

I have to disagree with it being emotionally sterile. It doesn’t have hammed up dramatic conflict, but the hopes and dreams of the npcs are woven effortlessly into the brief snatches of dialogue. It was certainly enough to evoke a deep sadness in me as I sat beside the fire with my fellow explorers, waiting out the last minutes of existence.
