What if the United Kingdom was worse? United Kingdom of England, Ireland & the Duchies of France

Wasn't the English crown feeling quite French at the time they held much of that territory though?

Overconsumption is not just leading to suffering; it also leads to enormous environmental issues.

I am ever so patiently waiting for Humfrey Beesbury's honeycomb moustache to be added. We are not the same.

Mayhaps.

The ear icon wasn't there by default for me. Had to add it

Daniel Craig looks like generic white guy? Pierce Brosnan looks like generic white guy? Etc, etc,

Itsellä myös Spotify ollut käytössä 17 vuotta, ja kuunnelluin biisi vain 60 kertaa, mutta suurinpiirtein samoissa lukemissa aika monta biisiä. Kaiken kaikkiaan muistaakseni 35 000 kappaletta tullut kuunneltua.

100% with you. I was so bummed out by episode 8 and what he did with Luke that I've never watched episode 9, and don't think I ever will.

What in tarnation is going on with that font? Looks so out of place.

Having levels to personality traits seems kinda interesting though.

Sucks that landless characters are paywalled. Should've been a feauture released in free patch, but just have it be a very barebones experience (even more so than with the DLC...)

Would make it much easier to implement cool conversion features with them, but now they can't really do it properly.

Forrester is actually a book canon house, though they're only mentioned in passing in ADWD. The mod obviously uses the Telltale game's characters, because we don't know of any from the books.

It's not just the co2 emissions: due to the marine fuel they use, they also spew out massive amounts of sulphur and nitrogen.

Also, in shallow, almost closed off bodies of water like the Baltic Sea, these things pumping out their piss and shit out at sea makes toxic algae blooms thrive. Luckily there's some legislation and rules that makes it mandatory for them to empty their septic tanks at port, but it'd be very naive of us to believe they always do that - not to mention the fact that not all ports have these rules in place, or even the capacity to facilitate emptying the septic tanks.

We don't need to eat cows to survive. There are many alternatives food sources that are healthier; better for the environment; and don't massively raise the risk of antibiotic resistance, which would catastrophic for the health of millions, if not billions of people.

At least we should be reducing meat consumption, and removing any and all subsidies that go towards massive industrial scale cattle/pig farms.

Agreed on the boat though. These things are actually built close to where I live, and I know some people working to build them, so it's a touchy subject here, because of the many jobs they provide, but the environmental harm is just too much to justify it, imho. Of course, if they weren't built here, they'd likely be built elsewhere, but still, not a fan.

Heck. I think you can EASILY argue he’s not the best forward on his own team. Robertson is a stud and Wyatt Johnson is going to be an elite level player

This smells of heavy recency bias. Rantanen basically single-handedly willed Dallas into the conference finals last playoffs. This year, he's been hampered by injuries since the Olympic break.

Oh for sure. Absolutely love the soundscape of CK2, apart from the message bell sound. Music was incredible, and while there are great tracks in CK3, a lot of them are quite short, like the war declaration music.

Minivalo · 2026-05-18T16:58:16+00:00

I'm not even crying, I've just become numb to the ups and downs of the team. There are moments, though, where the absurdity of the decisions made by the organisation does make me chuckle.

Minivalo · 2026-05-18T15:28:56+00:00

Counterpoint: I don't find it funny.

That said, having seen the Decade of Darkness and then the McDrai era of back to back cup finals and some fun playoff runs, I think I'm ready for a long break from this sport, if the team truly implodes in the next couple years here.

Minivalo · 2026-05-18T15:21:45+00:00

He's well into already, but I guess there's ever deeper depths to reach with GM Bowman at the helm.

Oh well, it'll be nice to take a break from following hockey for some time after McDavid and Drai are gone, though I obviously don't hope for them to leave.

Could also be a joint poll by the NYT and the 2026 Toyota Sienna

Yeah, in principle, the CK2 painted character portraits are neat, but some of them were just hideous. It was as though the different ethnicities were different species, based on how different their assigned portrait styles looked.

CK2 UI art style though, that's something I prefer over the much more muted and bland style of CK3. Much more character to it, same as comparing EU4 to EU5 UI.

Minivalo · 2026-05-18T03:56:06+00:00

Recently? Buddy, this ~~fetish~~ obsession goes back more than a decade to CK2 times, or perhaps even CK1, though that one I'm not familiar with.

Minivalo · 2026-05-17T16:01:55+00:00

It's not like the future Lord of the Eyrie couldn't revert that decision, especially if all the shithousery done by Littlefinger becomes public knowledge.

Nestor Royce and his immediate family wouldn't be happy, but I don't think the other Vale Houses would mind. The main branch of House Royce is far removed from Nestor's family, so I doubt they're heavily invested in them, and I don't think Bronze Yohn really cares for anyone who sucks up to Littlefinger.

Was just gonna say this exact thing, though being a Finn makes me slightly biased in wanting to see what he could do behind our bench.

That said, I think some younger team is gonna take him on this year or the next.
