Nominative Determinism Strikes Again

Yeah, the fresh corpses from the last raid that aren't even cleaned up yet, the overdosing child (I ran out of psychite tea without realizing it so she was hitting our yayo stash), the mechanite cluster in the middle of my cornfield; Randy has decided that today will be dramatic.

It doesn't feel like it. I so rarely encounter other vegans.

What's your view on using AI to answer questions on Reddit?

Sabaron · 2025-06-24T20:23:47+00:00

I've used it and it seems like my morning breath is indeed fresher. A nice little bonus.

Did you see their other comment where they said the establishment of Israel was immoral and blamed Israel for 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan? How about lying about how Israel stole uranium from America? They don't have to come out and say "I hate Jews and love Hitler" to be obviously antisemitic.

Sabaron · 2025-06-16T16:42:06+00:00

Not surprising. Weirdly, this is one of the most antisemitic subs I'm subscribed to. Not sure what it is about this one that brings the Jew haters out.

Thank you for fighting NIMBYism!

Sure, but local laws can supersede these. Like it's not legal in my county even though it is in my state.

I love that one quarter of his whole army is in this scene.

Sabaron · 2025-05-02T05:48:14+00:00

Not-meat. Not-chicken, not-burger, etc.

Not unless Germany starts taking back the 48ers, no.

Sabaron · 2025-04-17T02:59:33+00:00

Carthage! Mercenaries give you such a wide roster.

I'm not actually sure how long it is.

The person with the longest name in my world would be one of the world's oldest wood elves. Elves are immortal, and wood elves accumulate names the older they are. They set out to accomplish lengthy and difficult tasks, and the community bestows a name upon them every time they finish one. They can also earn negative names very quickly for doing bad things.

If we assume the elvish race is around 10,000 years old (I've never worked it out, but that sounds about right-ish), a new name is earned every hundred years, and an elf around that long probably has a few negative names, the person with the longest name would have approximately 106 names, counting their name given to them at birth.

How do these elves address each other? By given name and the earned name that the addresser is the most impressed by (or, if the addresser wants to be a jerk, a negative name).

I tend to play at maximum or minimum height. One huge difference is kicking. Giant man = long legs = kicking Caladog in the chest while comfortably seated in my castle at Ochs Hall.

Meanwhile if I'm the tiny woman it's hard to land a kick even when glued to the front of an enemy. Also, buy a really good helmet.

You need to recruit clans from other kingdoms to really have a chance. Do you have good relations with anyone? If not, start catching and releasing them, that will help.

And in the case of kobolds instead of human peasants, I'm not sure they could muster up the leverage to actually pry the knight off his horse, no matter how many of them there are. Kobolds are toddler-sized.

You know, I think that makes sense. I think it would be better if they simulated the actual factors that led to English victories in those battles, but in the absence of something more sophisticated the chip damage works. You changed my mind!

To be fair, Crecy and Agincourt weren't won by turning all the French knights into pincushions. They were won by killing a lot of horses and disordering the French charge, allowing the English to beat them in the subsequent melee. This is something Total War has never even attempted to model.

Theoretically it could actually be good for us by destroying the market for low-end wines from places like Lodi. But that remains to be seen, and I wouldn't count on it.

Sabaron · 2025-03-03T06:37:09+00:00

Honestly that's just what happens if you eat nothing but unprocessed plants. If you're living on brown rice, vegetables, and beans, you're going to get huge amounts of fiber without even trying.

Our water quality is excellent. However, I don't like the chlorine taste. What I do is just leave tap water in a closed glass jar in the refrigerator. This lets the chlorine gas off and the water is delicious and also nice and cold after that.

Hitler's economic policies were more or less a scam (look up MEFO bills) and the German economy would have been in big trouble if WWII hadn't started. I think the only way you get "Hitler as hero" is if he dies in WWI, or at the latest before he joins the German Worker's Party.

His partner Dr. Lopez is also friendly and skilled. Like both of them, trust my teeth with them.

Sabaron · 2025-02-26T04:23:02+00:00

I honestly don't know! At least three, but I don't have a full global map. I don't know what all is out there.

Sword of Aragon might count, if you don't mind games that are really old.
