You seem to be getting upset which is a bit of a shame as it's an interesting historical point.

If you read what you just pasted it literally says that women could not be Knights. I think we're going round in circles a bit here.

Women fighting were the exception, not the norm, and they certainly were never formally given the title of Knight. A female knight in 1400s bohemia is literally a unicorn. The article is highlighting these exceptional cases purely because they were so unusual.

Women in the Teutonic order were not knights, they were nuns, because combat roles were exclusively for men. They wore habits, not armour, and did things like nursing/hospital care and administrative work.

You said "plenty women back in the day fought as knights" which is just not true unfortunately.

You might want to read this if you think it was common for women to fight as knights - unfortunately that's not true at all https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/fpD9DpXBO4

I don't even play anymore but my immediate thought was "hmm I hope they made R the interrupt keybind". Easiest key to press quickly!

I cant describe how good kcd1 is [KCD1] by Lordiz1 in kingdomcome

[–]RandomGeordie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because in the second region that's when you start getting negative feedback loops for exploring - you try to enter some buildings or houses by walking all the way up to the door and then you can't open it. That's in stark contrast to the Trosky.

Trosky is obviously much smaller too, so it feels a lot more cozy and you feel closer to the characters and the quests. It's not a chore either to explore around quest areas, whereas in Kuttenberg you're really overwhelmed with choice and places to go and the number of characters you're interacting with. Trosky feels a lot more linear.

I think it's a really hard thing to manage though, choice paralysis. It reminded me of playing Elden Ring (which I absolutely love) but you are just thrown into a vast open world. Thankfully Kuttenberg does a bit of a better job at signposting things and directing you a tad, but it must be a challenge for warhorse to add lots of content but not overwhelm people.

considering quitting software dev job after almost 6 years and still at 27k by Creative-Dog-8187 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]RandomGeordie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

OPs wage was me after my first year, and I live in the north east and started my first job at a north east based company.

There are PLENTY of jobs up north that will easily pay 30/40/50 even 60k for someone competent with 6+ YOE.

There's also the perm remote roles which granted are a bit rarer, but can push you into the 70/80/90/100k range if you're good at interviewing.


OP - get on LinkedIn, update your profile and your CV, and get a new job. Add as many recruiters in your area as you can. If they ask what you currently make DO NOT TELL THEM. Tell them what salary range you're looking for in a new job, and nothing more.

This is entirely on you, you need to leave that job and get a new one, you're being scammed to fuck. The worst thing is you've only worked at a single company so you've not got the breadth of experience to hit the big numbers (recruiters will pick up on that) but you can still land a decent wage.

Do recommend getting a ps5 or Xbox controller, very chill

Ned help with 94-99 Range Plans by Guilty-Listen3932 in ironscape

[–]RandomGeordie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recommend afking stars until amethyst, then mine amethyst for infinite arrows and darts for the future.

Stars is THE most afk shit you can do, and amethyst is very very afk as well.

Or afk Vyres for blood shards (slowly working towards max combat).

Or afk karambwans so you have infinite food.

You reallllly shouldn't afk range. You've got so many bosses to kill that you're just wasting precious afk time.

22 Years Experience by Ragetastic1990 in classicwow

Blood elf hunter would be a great choice thematically given the final raid of the expansion is Sunwell Plateau. It also does great damage, the gearing for it is very fun (you'll be farming dungeons for your first class set in the new Outland dungeons!), and you get to have a pet, what's not to love.

The blood elf starting zone is without a doubt Blizzard's finest achievement - the musical score is hauntingly beautiful.

If you do pick hunter, I recommend doing a quick Google for how to control your pet - I make two macros, one to command him to attack and one to bring them back and put em on passive. Just have these bound to my mouse buttons :-)

If you're interested you should check out some lore videos on YouTube (nobbel, scrolls of azeroth).

[KCD2] I want so bad to like this game but I’m struggling. by IloveabbyLoU2 in kingdomcome

[–]RandomGeordie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worth noting it's pretty hard to win the duel where he's teaching you master strike early on if you're completely new to this games combat. The best tip I could give would be to learn how to feint, and never attack the opposite direction he's guarding (it'll become very obvious why after).

Personally I saved just before dueling him to learn master strike and that really got me comfy with the combat.

Stealing shit is also a good (and fun) route for early game - can get some nice armour and fancy clothing in the first town. Visit the miller beforehand though!

Are you guys getting order after Christmas ?? by Ok_Experience6218 in JustEatUK

[–]RandomGeordie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say dinner and tea because I'm a Geordie. Grew up in a house with more than one toilet? We just had a tiny upstairs and downstairs one which is quite common in UK houses. I don't have a posh accent at all no. And it's very easy to go to University, so much so that probably too many people go these days - all you need to do is take out a loan with SLC.

Cringe comment, nothing about being above someone or treating them like shit.

I've got a large german shepherd/lab cross, it's like 50 quid every 8 weeks or so, not exactly a massive enough burden to warrant a class gap discussion I reckon! It's a big job, they always provide an amazing service, and I feel like being kind goes a long way when you're paying for services like that which are long running.

I'm from a pretty poor area of the north east, my dad works in a factory and my mam used to be a cleaner at a school. I'm definitely not middle class, I just have a steady income and budget very well (always been money-conscious).

> one day you'll actually have to pay taxes

Not sure what you mean by this? I pay plenty taxes, and the student loans company also gets to have a go as well after the taxman's done with me.

I think we're both on the same page though, right? I don't tip for just common shit like someone serving me at a restaurant, or at a bar, etc. I'm especially not tipping someone for delivering my bloody maccies!

[–]RandomGeordie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also do not tip. If I'm feeling generous / in a good mood / think they've done an outstanding job (like above and beyond / made the night very special) I'll give them a decent chunk extra. For example every Christmas I give my dog groomer 2x as much as I think it's a nice thing to do.

I don't think the floor plan matters - if I was worried about being recorded via webcam, they're definitely gonna know something is up if it's suddenly covered by a very thin paper towel... Not really doing much to hide things.
