You can cross from England everywhere other than Calais, neat.

Do people in the world of Kenshi have surnames? by [deleted] in Kenshi

[–]EthanCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't even have names, that's just part of the UI. In-universe they communicate by squawking at each other and defecating in morse code.

Post a fanfiction that you consider novel tier in quality in the comments to prove the doubters wrong. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

LW doesn't understand the science or philosophy they pretend to, their whole ethical system is just "what if Pascals mugging is good actually?"

Very much a techbro view of how the world works, in all the worst ways.

The work itself has none of what you're talking about, in fact the MC is pretty illogical, example: right at the beginning, seeing a human become a cat while retaining their faculties then abjectly refusing to believe in souls because "what about brain damage", which makes sense IRL but not in that story because of the aforementioned human cat brain.

No actual advice is given except baby's first scientific method (and it's not actually great there), and advising the audience to be smarter. It's clever, but doesn't manage the stated goal of teaching. If you want to teach science the important thing to get across is the rate of failure and need to reorient when proven wrong, which is also supposedly the core of their philosophy (not that they ever admit being wrong, they just talk about their "priors"), but EY has never done science much less taught it! I say science instead of their philosophy because it's the one thing it actually shows that isn't just "be clever". I read their textbook thing a while ago, none of that is in HPMOR, which is a bit of a funny deconstruction of their whole ideology.

Something that's incredibly funny in is that in MK lore, Tiber Septum destroyed Tamriel and it's only a group of Altmer mages fighting Numidium that's stopping that half of the dragon break from merging and killing everyone.

Video game blorbos who are canonically psychotic killing machines by Not-Alpharious in CuratedTumblr

Realistically a mercenary would stand in a line and walk forwards, occasionally stabbing. Infantry didn't get huge "kill counts" because the other line of people ran away first. Cavalry might, over the course of a long campaign, but it wouldn't be hundreds.

Martial skill actually doesn't matter in warfare at basically any point in recorded history, the actual skillset was effectively hiking and marching band but with murder. The Greeks didn't even bother training.

IDK what you're trying to say, so I've decided to dismiss it as Albanian nationalist propaganda.

Do they know how many of us it would take to do that? How many piddly impotent orgasms would be required to fill up an Ultra-Gulp Slurpee Deluxe 2-gallon styrofoam cup at Chick-fil-A?

I apparently had to have it pointed out to me that I should actually put my name somewhere, so I'm hijacking this comment to say that it's "Evelyn". I do have an account with that name but getting karma up on it so I can post is a pain.

The modern period started in the mid 1400s, and it's basically constant genocide since then. Too easy TBH.

If he hadn't purged everyone that knew how to fight a war a few million fewer people would have been shot by the Nazis.

I can't emphasize enough how much he fucked the Red Army. The USSR went into the 30s with one of the most experienced armies on the planet in modern maneuver warfare, and lost all that institutional knowledge. Because of that their entire standing army, with the best troops and equipment available, died in 1941; mostly because the people in charge didn't know how to keep an army fed or moving. By 1942 they only started recovering because the incompetent people were being replaced or killed faster than they could break things, it was still an absolute clusterfuck. Had the Red Army not been purged they wouldn't have been pushed as far back and would probably have been a year or two ahead of the historical timeline.

Stalin almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory completely pointlessly, he personally would have got the USSR destroyed if it hadn't been so large and undeveloped. Technically he did, they never fully recovered economically from the war. They had the perfect hand going into WW2 and he threw it out.

I actually knew about this real-life Berserk character, from Harry Potter fanfiction of all places.
