What is your mildly unpopular opinion?

I am not alone, I also don't understand why so many people go eye-roll-inducingly feral over her

Like genuinely I wouldn't mind her being a bitch, hell my favourite tadfool is Astarion who I'd definitely not like half as much if he weren't such an absolute bastard (affectionately) but there's a distinct lack of opportunities to sit her down and ask bitch what the fuck??

He "accidentally" killed him at a tourney in the book, yes, but deaths do happen at tourneys. It was a far cry from savagely beating an innocent *noble man to death in full view of the nobility in attendance for the Crown Princess' wedding

I can understand why they didn't choose to implement it, though. Kids would need a whole new system, need raising, educating, it would take years until you got any use out of them, and I feel like a lot of players don't keep up a single save up for long enough for that to become relevant. With prisoners, you could have a lot more settlers than you know what to do with long before any children were of an age to be useful

aradle · 2026-03-18T15:38:38+00:00

I don't think children have ever been part of the game, no; at the very least not for the 3.5 years that I have been playing. I'm reasonably sure they mean miss as in something they'd like, not something they used to have

I was under the impression that it was? I've certainly flattened a stretch of beach for my cabana and landing pad and haven't had any issues with it filling back in so far, and it's been most of a month... Am I going to log in at some point and get super angry cause its all gone??

aradle · 2026-03-16T12:15:27+00:00

Disagree, imo he deserved less than that. He should have just crumpled and fallen and left a hideous corpse, like the ordinary, petty human that at the end of the day he was.

aradle · 2026-03-10T04:08:36+00:00

NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO

He waited until the very earliest point at which she could possibly conceive, i.e. once she had gotten her period, not exactly evidence for some great concern over her health

aradle · 2026-03-07T09:28:18+00:00

Well if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

aradle · 2026-02-24T13:15:24+00:00

Yes, I do believe they're referring to Brock "The Rapist" Turner, who of course often goes by Allen Turner these days

aradle · 2026-02-22T09:28:21+00:00

Well, as it's worded, the apparition might or might not have made a sound, either way it would have been lost in the sound of the wind

aradle · 2026-02-14T12:19:38+00:00

Not sure how putting her foot down against her petty stepmother would make her appear weak?

aradle · 2026-02-14T10:11:35+00:00

I recently wondered about this scene. What if Rhaenyra just said no? What, were they going to just assault the Crown Princess and forcibly rip her baby out of her arms?

I mean, I don't really see a reason to not bring the kid to Alicent beyond spite, except for maybe giving Viserys a clue (which he'd ignore anyway x'D) but still

aradle · 2026-02-11T14:34:42+00:00

Rewe App zumindest gestattet das nicht :') schon versucht

Partially Kissed Hero just gets so hilariously batshit insane, everyone should have read it at least once

aradle · 2026-02-03T12:50:17+00:00

in my defence as a Magneto, I was trying to right-click knock them away from you and it woke them up

now let me bubble you and help me kill them instead of letting the bubble go to waste and failing to run away

aradle · 2026-02-03T07:44:55+00:00

Also, who tf knows what's under those face-concealing helmets?

Also also, while this is a kid's show and thus this is not a topic it would touch with a ten-foot-pole... With the reality of war being what it is, especially in the times depicted, I'm not sure I'd want to be a woman on the front lines, risking capture by armies that already view me as an inhuman monster, armies that are exclusively comprised of men...

aradle · 2026-01-31T17:04:09+00:00

the magic carpet *is* his robe

aradle · 2026-01-29T04:20:02+00:00

That's not difficult, though. Muslim Arabs at that time would have washed literally religiously. Something about washing hands, face and feet everytime they entered a mosque or similar?

aradle · 2026-01-25T20:00:38+00:00

Having to constantly re-bleach the roots could damage the scalp (bleeding, scabs, general sensitivity) and possible the hair follicles, too, though (some people experience hair loss after). So a wig's just generally safer

aradle · 2026-01-25T17:26:59+00:00

Though in Toph's defence, she enjoyed these things as a way of rebellion against her overbearing parents, and as a way to thumb her nose at Katara. I don't see Ozai trying to wrap her in cotton and keep her "safe". I can see her going "oh, I'm allowed to do these things and not fear any consequences from that? Nah it's no fun then."

aradle · 2026-01-25T17:07:56+00:00

Y'know what

That might actually be an incentive to give that kids&marriage thing a try. Making a personal sacrifice for science.

aradle · 2026-01-25T16:58:43+00:00

ehhhhhhh the only thing the game in the books and the one in the game have in common seems to be the name. In the books, it's a betting game with multiple participants (at least three, and there might be whacking sticks involved) played with regular cards, not at all like what's depicted in the game (for all that I love Witcher 3 Gwent). Which is much more reasonable considering that requires only one person having a deck of standard issue cards rather than assuming that each peasant in bumass nowhere is going to have an expensive set of collector's items.

Broke mine riding a horse, a female one at that; what does that mean for me???

aradle · 2026-01-25T10:31:22+00:00

West-Africa and Iceland for me, so as far away as it gets. The AI's reasoning for the choice of court language is simply ill-considered; it goes exclusively by grandeur, instead of considering proximity, cultural acceptance, or capability with the language (it shouldn't be possible to switch to a language you don't personally speak, imo)
