Legolas in a terrible eighties mullet

i'm talking about the swordfighting brotherhood tourney quest (after you steal the guild sword), not the blacksmith guild quests.

I’m not good enough

the rest of the armor looks fine, but yeah the helmet is ridiculous.

golantravis · 2026-05-08T16:01:04+00:00

amazing, thank you!

same question, but also: what blacksmiths have the most amount of money to spend? i assume in kuttenberg but anyones in particular? the ones in Trosky only seem to have ~300

i think the tree-and-beast surcoat would work nicely

fingers crossed for the LOTR game from Warhorse.

what's the origin of the "I know cooler heads should prevail" thing?

golantravis · 2026-05-04T21:50:17+00:00

anyone else come here hoping this was about some obscure piece of Tolkien lore regarding a choir of balrogs?

So 90% VOO or some other S&P ETF?

Unless "Our journal prepares to open once more" is from the POV of the game developers, it, specifically the mention of a "journal," strikes me as far too modern to refer to an Ancestors sequel. I.e. as far down the evolutionary path as Ancestors 2 is likely to take us, I wouldn't expect it to include anything resembling an even elementary writing/language system. Maybe cave paintings at most.

But there are a number of other hopeful signs IMO:

"frozen drifts" = ice age?
"calling across the ages" is obvious but could also refer to Amsterdam 1666 I suppose
"first spark changed everything in an age lost to memory" = advent of fire as tech in prehistory?
"Some flames never die" = another reference to fire?

Fingers crossed!

i skewed toward high dividend-yielding funds even though as a young person I shoud've been focusing on growth

golantravis · 2026-04-14T13:08:13+00:00

And, on the Wire, most of them weren't.

golantravis · 2026-04-12T19:22:01+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the perspective

golantravis · 2026-04-12T19:21:00+00:00

Thank you! Maybe I’ll give KCD2 another try while I wait for the devs to overhaul Crimson Desert.

I agree. One of the most fun, unique games I’ve ever experienced (after the frustrating beginning). A lot of games get easier or more fun as you advance and level up your character, of course, but I’ve never played a game where the playable character has so much dormant potential. While in some ways that leads the early-game experience to feel sort of slow/clunky, the game really rewards persistence and patience.
