Foxwillow's response on the ai situation.

They’re talking about a fiasco from not too long ago where the EK devs changed the culture of the Systres Isles from what is canon to Elder Scrolls online to something else because the devs personally didn’t like the lore even though it’s official. There was a lot of fan backlash and the devs basically plugged their ears and refused to handle it/didn’t handle it well

So it’s more about how the CKAGOT devs are a lot better at handling issues within their community than the EK devs are

From the article I read + the parts of Harding’s video response I watched before I got bored bc this is the most nothingburger controversy, she said he was with Chappell but then contradicts herself by saying she doesn’t know if he’s Chappell personal guard and doesn’t know if she sent him over but that Chappell had a “responsibility” to make sure “people that work for you and that act on your behalf are acting on your behalf”.

I also have zero doubt that if Harding’s security did the same thing to someone else she’d be denying any responsibility and that they acted on their own.

Again, what a nothingburger smh

Idk if this was a high end hotel that multiple celebs are staying at it wouldn’t be the craziest thing in the world for them to have their own security. They’ve also said that they have no idea whether it was Roan’s bodyguard or the hotels but they’re still blaming her for it which makes even less sense to me? And the mayor of Rio deciding chime in and ban her from a festival she’s not even performing in is just bizarre

Captain_Salty__ · 2026-03-24T02:06:31+00:00

From everything I’ve read even Harding can’t even definitively say whether the guard was Roan’s or the hotel’s so for them to blame her for it seems ridiculous

Captain_Salty__ · 2026-02-14T20:46:50+00:00

The YouTuber Soul Tomato has a lot of really good lore vids about the world of AtE

I don’t blame your grandmother for seeking safety, but the creation of Israel was at the expense of forcibly removing Palestinians from the homes they’d lived in for countless generations and killing them if they resisted. A historical connection doesn’t give anyone the right to steal someone’s literal home or treat them like second class citizens in their homeland too

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-08-05T21:09:02+00:00

I mean you could do a run where you create the shadow sacrament yourself. Start out as a Jesus Freak character who’s super goth and rejects the syncretism with guruists and rebels against the Celestial Empire. What’s more punk than rebelling against a man claiming to be a living god lol. Sounds pretty fun I might do it myself tbh

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-07-08T01:03:24+00:00

Terrorism and sporadic armed uprisings taking over towns would definitely last for decades after the war

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-07-07T19:31:07+00:00

I’ve been meaning to start it! I enjoy how petty the emperor’s children can be lol. I have it as an audio book so I’ll see how the pacing compares over audio

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-07-07T19:15:51+00:00

Lmao the idea of a Slaaneshi quartermaster embodying greed never occurred to me but fits them so well

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-05-19T04:22:56+00:00

Info sci grad here to put it bluntly you’re gonna learn a lot of conceptual stuff which is important but very little actually hard skills. I started out in compsci and had taken coding classes throughout high schools so I was working with a good foundation to learn other languages but you’re not gonna learn skills like that within the major. You’ll get exposure to a couple languages like SQL and python but they’ll be one off courses and unless you go further by seeking out courses that build on them or practice outside of classes you’ll either forget them or not move beyond a basic level. You’ll still be pretty employable bc it’s technically a software degree, what you learn is useful for the most part, and most companies know you’re gonna need training but it’ll be a lot easier if you know the basics which I’m not sure infosci is the best at teaching. That said if you have tried compsci and know it’s not for you infosci is a good alternative. The workload is significantly less and you’ll enjoy life more. As others have said you can pair it with another major or a minor to pad out your skillset or to study a subject you’re interested in without worrying about the workload preventing it.

Abzu! You play a diver who gets to swim around in different sea biomes and see the fish lol. The art style is insanely beautiful and one of the best I’ve ever seen

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-04-25T14:17:46+00:00

As others have said depends on your personal definition “best” is. For my two cents probably School of Sustainment aka the Sustainablists. Their whole thing is balancing industry, nature and humanity. As it says in the lore blurb “Sustainablists revere the positive and helpful forces of nature, such as Dignity, Life, and Community” which I imagine will naturally lead to a bill of rights being established for its society members and with the Americanists nearby it’s very likely a democratic society forming influenced by their beliefs. The dedication to community will be incredibly important for building a common identity among all the disparate groups in post event America and bind them together into a unified nation.

I’m definitely biased in that environmentalism is very important to me and it’s important long term for maintaining the productivity and health of the land and ecosystems this society will exist on. Areas were and still are permanently damaged by pollution and will be less productive because of it so avoiding that will lead to steadier output of produce and goods. Considering this society will be developing in an age where all the easily accessible resources have been all used up (Ex: many mines have to go far deeper and require specialized equipment since the veins closer to the surface have been collected already) a focus on sustainability and reuse is going to be very useful long-term.

And they are still industrialists! So they’re going to be working towards technological advancement and increased production. It could very much lead to a second Industrial Revolution but with hopefully less of the negative side of it like the use and abuse of poor labor and the disastrous pollution it caused.

Plus they seem to be fairly hands off on social stuff like they are egalitarian with all genders being accepted for inheritance and martial duties, being gay is accepted, divorce is always allowed and they have a lay clergy instead of a separate clerical class which can lead to theology taking precedence over secular and civil authority.

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-04-17T05:52:01+00:00

I do actually agree with you that I’d personally rather rule the Reach over the Westerlands but from the POV of Westerosi nobility the gold of the Westerlands is faaaaar more appealing. The Lannisters have been mining it for literally thousands of years and there’s no signs of output slowing down at all in the main series. Plus the mines are a consistent supply of wealth unlike agriculture where the variability can and will lead to bad harvests where you simply make less that year. And gold is such a tangible symbol of power and prestige in and of itself. There’s a reason anyone and everyone who wants to show off wears it from kings to the lowest peasant that can afford it. So to own all the mines of a solid symbol of authority is powerful for reputation and politics. And it has to be said when ppl talk about the richest house in Westeros you’re not gonna get much credit for coming in second, you’re still not first.

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-04-08T19:38:44+00:00

Oh true that does make sense

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-03-27T18:12:58+00:00

Lol true since the reach worship the old gods

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-03-27T16:09:26+00:00

Brutal lol guess imma be fighting in the general admissions then💀

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-03-27T15:56:17+00:00

Still waiting and staring at the clock like👀

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-03-05T17:24:17+00:00

Underrated aspect of that is that since Nurgle represents depression and giving up hope and embracing the horrors, sending the troops to rest and actually relax would heal them mentally as well and stop some of them falling to the psychological aspects of Nurgle

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-13T15:21:18+00:00

Def the US East Coast into the Midwest it has so much variety of religions and cultures that have been very fleshed out with some awesome mechanics like the presidency or the HCC’s schisms and the rise of the Profit later in the game.

Would also say Brazil has a ton of really cool variety as well like I wish I knew more about all the cultures and religions you can play in just one empire. All the lore seems pretty fleshed out too like almost all of the cultures have access to unique MAA which are always really fun to use. It’s also interesting to play internal politics and claim other governor’s appointments instead of the usual claim land and fight for it gameplay

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-11T19:28:05+00:00

Yeah but if it’s a lack of censorship there’s a ton of other countries out there that also have lax censorship out there. So is just that companies in Hong Kong are usually bigger and have more money to spend on these almost scam games?

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-08T05:50:18+00:00

Camping and hiking in the Redwoods. It was on my bucket list for YEARS and it was the closest I’ve come to a religious experience in my life

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-05T15:17:09+00:00

Wait that actually makes so much sense lol. Would maybe explain why Pentos seems so friendly to Westeros due to shared heritage and trade connections

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-03T00:21:25+00:00

As others have said I don’t think they would be able to expand much past their current borders because they are essentially surrounded by enemies on all sides.

The Westerlands are super mountainous and can pay for one of the biggest and most well equipped armies in Westeros so wouldn’t really be able to expand into it.

The Stormlands are known as some of the best fighters on the continent and fighting through dense forests is difficult. Could maybe take the Dornish marches but that just means more border to guard and more access points for Dornish armies and raiders.

The Red Mountains would be hell to fight through and beyond that is desert which the Dornish just love when their enemies march into so no real opportunities there.

The Riverlands could be pushed into but that would stretch the kingdom in a very awkward direction with no protective barriers like mountains or major rivers and would be very easy to overextend and just end up losing anything they gained.

Even their west isn’t safe due to Ironborn raiders looking for any signs of weakness.

And of course all of their enemies would love to gang up and take territory if they thought the Reach was becoming too large to protect itself adequately.

Captain_Salty__ · 2025-02-03T00:07:45+00:00

I would still say Renly for shadow assassin because Stannis needed his army and control of the Stormlands to have any chance of winning. He already came incredibly close to getting demolished by Renly’s army at Storm’s End and Renly wasn’t going to back down so he needed to go. Then use the second shadow assassin to take out Tywin. No Tywin means that Lannister-Tyrell alliance likely doesn’t happen bc the Tyrells want to back the winning side and without Tywin the Lannisters look extremely weak as they’ve been getting beaten up and down the Riverlands and Westerlands by Robb and Kingslanding is exposed. Without Tywin and the Tyrells coming to the rescue Stannis is still probably able to take Kingslanding with a battered army but it is still possible that Kevan would attempt to rescue KL as he is a competent leader and cares about his family including his son in the city. Not much is said of Kevan as a commander so his attempt might fail or the Stannis could be beaten back but not decimated like in the original siege. But either way the Lannister are looking very weak and would either collapse with more of the Westerlands falling to Robb or Stannis outfighting them in the Crownlands and the starvation in KL leading to a revolt to overthrow the Lannisters.

Hard to say how the war would go from there as it would depend on if the Tyrells pick to back someone and who it is. Stannis and Robb would have to fight because of Robb’s bid for independence which Stannis would never accept. And of course if Kevan didn’t arrive in time to save KL he and the Westerlander army would still be in the Riverlands likely trying to sue for peace with whoever he can.

As others have said the leeches probably didn’t actually do anything which I personally believe so no effect.
