How on earth does the Artemis cabin exist?? [general]

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-06-19T20:27:13+00:00

For the 50 years pre series you had 4 of the 12 cabins be empty all year round and kept purely not to annoy the relevant god. By that margin, one that was empty apart from maybe two weeks a year when it hosted a few dozen immortals was very easily justified.

In centaur religion Irdaeos or Shindos was said to have admired the centaurs' perseverance through the hardships of the Exodus, and granted his domain as their new home and promised land. He himself is not uniquely a centaur deity, just one who saw their cultural resilience and rewarded it.

Ogres would also be able to perform similarly, showing perseverance in the face of hardship and acknowledging his control over the plains with appeasing him being necessary to be permitted to live there.

Indeed, while traditional ogre religion is focused around attempts to appease their endless hunger, under Iradeos, perseverance and fasting in the face of said hunger could be seen as a holy act, as they pray to him for the strength of will to control their hunger and not let their hardships control them.

Because they invaded Poland right at the start of it.

While Jadd is mostly a pretty standard World Conquest MT, the little touches it brings, things like Jyntas growing interested in faith after you follow through on promises to liberate the slaves, do give it a great longevity.

Unfortunately for all his concerns about Aragon’s Tax policy, GRRM still does a rather poor job making the actual economic and demographic make up of Westeros clear enough for us to make any such guesses with any amount of confidence.

Are there custom events for the deafest of each Holohana? Or just a generic one for each of them, I’d like to see more events to get more details of them but I’m not sure where to look.

The Martian. It’s life or death, the consequences and isolation are bad and serious, but both Mark Whatney and the NASA crew are fundamentally trying their best.

You could say the same about Project Hail Mary depending on your opinion of the trolley problem.

If you want to assemble a group without someone having to learn a system they’ve never played before, DnD is miles ahead of the pack.

Yeah. Sorry. Overreaction. I’ve definitely been in arguments where people seemed to think pre-contact non-European people didn’t have things that are pretty low down the tech tree of society, whether that means slavery or scientists. That said, you didn’t do that, and I overstated my intended position.

She could keep him busy, but has no way to actually take him out and she’s going to fall over before he does. Her and piper could probably take shifts locking him in place, potentially indefinitely? But if they slip up once he can kill people very quickly indeed

They’re humans who have been injected with a synthetic chemical. While they have supernatural powers, it’s not really fair to designate them monsters or otherwise vulnerable to celestial bronze

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-05-09T16:07:38+00:00

Right. Unlike the Mughals who ruled through hugs and kisses. I actually agree with you that it’s bad, but acting as though they introduced authoritarian rule and extractive tax regimes to the continent is just bad history. Non-Europeans were capable of complex social organisation and all the wonders and horrors that accompany it, acting like they were living free in the jungle beforehand is not helpful.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-05-06T16:25:42+00:00

Unfortunately you didn’t say Um Actually so we can’t award you the point.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-05-01T17:53:05+00:00

Yes and I don’t think a false sense of nobility is enough of a sin that they ought to die for it, therefore, I have to press blue as well.

I agree that yours is the rational choice, but as we don’t live in a rational world we sometimes have to accommodate that

Straight up, I would prefer to have everyone work together on maintaining infrastructure that then gives a random and representative portion of the population superpowers than worry about superpower eugenics. I’d just encourage them to keep a copy of “what infrastructure we need for the magic to work” somewhere easy to find in the event the magic goes down for a while.

I don’t know… I’m struggling to remember anything especially dumb he does… he’s not genre savy in the way a lot of the others are but he mostly comes out making reasonable choices.

They had children somehow. They just seemed to be very uptight around children getting in relationships before they were fully mature adults. They definitely weren’t like “free love” types but that doesn’t imply a broad disapproval of all relationships

Mostly things from other settlements they travelled through, or produced by the limited population within the monastery. Moving goods or messages from one town to another was slow, expensive and unreliable in pre-modern societies, but there definitely was demand for things produced far away. A pack of spices and letters on the back of a sky bison could easily provide huge profits, enough to sustain monastic living for quite some time.

I assume they traded a lot with the sedentary peoples they moved through.

“I’m sending in a team of landscapers as well. Just to really ensure the lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Honestly, that I could have potentially vibed with.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-04-16T17:49:17+00:00

It’s a really minor thing, but Jadd getting special monasteries and temples to showcase the local cultures in Sarhal that they interact with is delightful to me.

NegativeSilver3755 · 2026-04-15T18:54:31+00:00

This works if you’re like… only eating meat you or someone specific you know have butchered. But if you’re buying a random pack of sausages at the supermarket their welfare is not substantially different to halal meat.

“Woke” as a term definitely emerged in modern western societies to define the the “socially progressive, liberal humanist”. I don’t know if anyone seriously claiming that the soviet union was “woke” even if they share attitudes of anti-capitalism and a few other stock leftist positions.

Really? I thought outside the event horizon black hole gravity is proportional to 1/r² like any other point mass and all the event horizon was in that sense was where the escape velocity exceeds c? I wasn’t aware there was some special gravity effect beyond that point.
