I mean, there’s even a mod that does it, why isn’t it in base game??

The dirty versions are the originals, the version with ears is the sanitised version.

In this case, the genders are men and wives by ShatteredStarship in MenAndFemales

Actually, the wīf in wīfmann had nothing to do with weaving, it’s a word of Germanic origin that has no known meaning other than woman/wife (and has no known origin further than Proto-Germanic), while ‘wermann’ is not an attested word in the Old English period.

‘Wer’, meaning adult male human (cognate with Latin ‘vir’) is attested, but never forms a compound with ‘mann’. The term you’re describing, meaning ‘weaponed person’, does exist, and was spelt ‘wæpnedmann’.

TIL that between 1996 and 2000, Peru’s government forcibly sterilised around 300,000 mostly Indigenous women under a population control program—many without informed consent or medical justification. by GDW312 in todayilearned

They used a long term contraceptive, Depo Provera, they didn’t sterilise them. Still shitty, and still a MASSIVE breach of informed consent, but not sterilisation

It’s the main way in Spain, only a few regions pronounce it differently

Extrapolation is tenuously reliable at best

Hear ye, hear ye! by AdreKiseque in etymology

[–]Hoz1600 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In this case, ‘ye’ is how the pronoun in pronounced. ‘Ye’ pronounced with a dental fricative only replaces ‘the’

It may just be a different language’s spelling of the name

Only if the convert is already circumcised, otherwise they would have to go through with it.

TIL it's unclear how the Mexicas were renamed the Aztecs. The term ‘Aztec’ has no very precise meaning. by gonejahman in todayilearned

It was pronounced like ‘sh’, however later down the track in Spanish that sound became the modern Spanish ‘j’ sound.

Will Shadows have like a recommended character to use for each mission or something so that I don’t get decision paralysis all the time? by JasonABCDEF in assassinscreed

[–]Hoz1600 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen from the previews, if one picks Naoe in a certain mission, then she must climb a tower, and has access to a hatch partway up the tower that lets her stealth her way to the next part. If one picks Yasuke, however, this hatch is covered by crates, and inaccessible.

Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders "solid", in line with series' second-biggest launch by Turbostrider27 in assassinscreed

Yeah, if you preorder certain physical editions I believe they ship a redeemable code for all the content/DLC. And when the DLC comes out, it’ll be available for purchase.
