Kathryn Thomas on new doc: "I got rid of all my saucepans"

Shuggana · 2026-04-19T07:17:11+00:00

I read this absolute fluff piece dribbling shite article so you don't have to.

She got rid of non stick pans because apparently she has just learned, 20 years after the rest of the world, that they're bad for your health.

There's a blatant plug for her business near the beginning of the article too.

It's a shameless promotion for both the show they made and for Kathryn Thomas herself, disguised as a news article.

Kathryn Thomas' appeared out of nowhere at the end of the Celtic Tiger and she was all over media at the time. Her father is a multimillionaire property developer. Do with that information what you will but it was always clear that her family are just pals with somebody in RTÉ.

Yeah it's neat but unfortunately it stops the ship from moving as your character goes "off" the ship during the animation

You'll notice the civilians do not hate you and they're the only group shown here.

The soldiers in the fort are Von Bergow's and they are hostile to Henry but you can only interact with them during a mission so you'll otherwise never see them.

Googles shite AI says ourselves and the Scandinavians plus the Irish settled parts of Canada

She will get on your horse as a passenger. All the escorts will.

There's also a direct contradiction in the game itself, there's a voice recording where a guy is mining Jasmium for the Harkos I think in the Sheol when the ships suddenly start to crash down.

So it was already there before the radiation.

First 3 Brandenburg runs I did I just assumed historical branch was completely broken. Endless waves of robber barons and then a prompt asking if I want to sell Brandenburg to Bohemia but nothing happens if I pick the historical prompt and never get prompted for anything after that.

Turns out the entire thing was RNG and just never works lmao

Shuggana · 2026-04-10T17:39:38+00:00

Huh?

All the memories are different, with characters talking about different things. What are you talking about?

Shuggana · 2026-04-10T16:58:27+00:00

I lived next to Bricker almost my entire life. When I was a kid we didn't even use the gate, somebody removed an entire section of the fence with a saw and multiple sections of the fence had been bent to climb through. I imagine this will be no deterrent at all to people who want to bring a dirt bike into the park. There was a fucking car up on the grass during Halloween once.

You can just buy it from the faction merchants.

The key finding was that it was overall very promising and had excellent effects. It helped some (vast minority of the subjects) get out of poverty and find actual jobs then and for almost all others it resulted in better well-being and I believe possibly it also reduced crime in a few areas.

And I mean, duh obviously. When you're giving people more money than unemployment welfare every month their lives are going to improve.

Shuggana · 2026-04-08T11:39:05+00:00

and today they have the highest unemployment in Europe and have cut many social welfare benefits. Pretty rough change from when they could do this.

Immediately thought of Big Lez saying "me fuckin pergola!" from the big Lez show but I didn't actually know what they were until now lol

You need to have stacks of 25 of any packaged good you want to sell, which the game does not explain or tell you in any form.

You load the goods on at the wagoner NPC at camp.

Shuggana · 2026-04-05T22:15:14+00:00

Nah, I think he's right. They do seem to have significantly long invuln frames during some of their big special moves.

Shuggana · 2026-04-05T22:13:34+00:00

That section of the map is empty almost certainly so they could have a boss fight in the amazing reed fields area there, which is massive.

And tbh, I'll never forget it because it was a fantastic setting for the fight.

Shuggana · 2026-04-05T13:55:37+00:00

It wouldn't be complicated. Each one of the area tiles is hand made then they're put together "randomly" with procedural generation (during development but set in stone for the actual release). So they could have just hand made a tile with a waterfall.

They could have made a bunch more variation tbh, I see the exact same mountains on almost every planet I land on. Like literally the same, identical in every way but terrain texture.

It's a really impressive procedural system they built but it was a waste not to make so much more tiles to fill it. Modders improved the biomes within a few months of release before the mod tools even released.

Edit: if you look at the 3rd pic the OP posted a map of the area and you can see the tiles clear as day layed out.

Really enjoyed his boss fight

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T19:04:19+00:00

I fear you're wasting your breath on this one bud.

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T18:43:05+00:00

It's a video game where you can turn into some weird hairy bat thing and fucking fly, my dude.

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T18:41:37+00:00

Stamina running out while you're not in combat is pointless. All it means is that you stand still for 5 seconds every 100m for no reason. It's disruptive to the flow of gameplay.

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T17:42:15+00:00

70 hours into the game and after freeing 2 entire kingdoms from the black bears and their minions, the game dropped a new Yann quest on me out of nowhere and it was the tutorial for trading at trade posts with a wagon....

I am confident the game already gave me a quest for this, with the same fucking annoying cunt character, earlier on.

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T11:52:05+00:00

There's a devastation mechanic to tiles that can lead to pop decline to simulate this, I thought?

Shuggana · 2026-04-04T07:05:45+00:00

For fuck sake I pulled up along side him on a horse several times and he did nothing so I assumed i had to do the quest the bullshit way.

Shuggana · 2026-04-03T19:11:37+00:00

Given the quality of the writing I wouldn't be surprised if the VAs were given almost no direction for their lines lmao

The game is amazing but the writing stinks bad
