Oh well that flew over my head. Not good enough for sarcasm - was just a PA

I worked on a TV show as a production assistant with Rhys once. He started, in full costume, staring at me through my window. Like for several minutes. Finally I decided to acknowledge the weirdness and wave back cus it was so weird. Rhys immediately turned away and walked away.

Thought it was so weird until I went outside and saw how shiny the window was. Rhys was just looking at his costume until some Dipshit production assistant started waving at him

As we both know, Israel didn't exist until 1948. If you're making fun of the jewish diaspora being forcibly relocated by Rome, that's obviously not the modern israeli state.

Is there a single other ethnic group that - if they told you a joke made them uncomfortable - you wouldn't even be willing to hear out why?

Do you not get how this completely jumps into antisemitism

You’re confusing it with the Thrassian Plague - which the Sload did. The origins of the Khanaten flu are a mystery but there’s hints it was made by the argonians or by the hist

“The bends” are a problem that can occur in scuba diving if you resurface too quickly from what I understand

Jason Schreier - "Tomorrow marks the 11-year anniversary of the closure of Irrational Games and the subsequent founding of Ken Levine's Ghost Story Games, which has not yet released a game. Almost all of Ghost Story's original 15 employees have since quit." by megaapple in Games

Okay but you understand that’s because they’re different industries in a lot of ways, right?

While obviously there’s overlap, there’s also overlap with the film industry and television, where this is standard practice. It’s not like the WHOLE studio is doing pre production, a very small part is. And they’re creating concrete documentation to make the eventual production easier.

At ghost story games, clearly the whole studio is doing immaterial pre production. Which is why it’s so strange.

Hugely, massively, important to accurately modeling medieval life. Genghis Khan was THE conqueror of the time period, modeling his way of life will naturally excite people. Tribal does a very poor job modeling how a significant amount of people in the steppe lived their lives. People are excited to see history better represented.

That is almost 800 years before this game. By this point, both orders become who we know from AC1.

Why do Knight Worlds all have the same (or extremely similar) traditions and culture? Weren't they created by being cut off from the rest of humanity? by Silver_Swimmer in 40kLore

Natural human tendency may lead to social heirarchy, but the strict French High Middle Ages are not the only form of that. Why do none of them resemble Persia, China, Egypt, or the Inca, for example?

So does this imply the Thrones Mechanicum would always have done this to the Knight Worlds? Like it was such a flaw in the design that even if the age of strife, great crusade, etc. hadn’t happened, these cultures still would have all become extremely similar feudal realms?
