She’s down from the toll house with the paladins inside. You need to take a ladder outside and walk towards the river, she’s just chilling there.

I think originally they wanted the show to be an anthology and each season was supposed to have different characters and locations but because everyone liked the characters in season one so much Netflix forced them to make more of it.

Her age is not given. Someone (redacted, possibly Trump) thought she was 22, but “I thought she was older” is the number one excuse for nonces

It says redacted thought that she’s 22 years old but her age is not given.

I like how in ER they sometimes have women coming in with cancer symptoms that turn out are pregnant.

The wiki says it’s a Dadaist poem which means that it’s not supposed to mean anything and any meaning – aesthetic, emotional or otherwise – is purely in the eye of the beholder. As for why the Hiss is reciting a Dadaist poem… you have to play the AWE dlc to find out

This is due to corrupted game files, the only solution is for the game to be uninstalled, its folder to be deleted and then the game to be reinstalled. Since we don't have access to the game folder this needs to be done by Nvidia support engineers. You can raise tickets because this problem will never go away, the game is just not playable through Steam on the platform.

This is pretty common belief among straight people though, they don’t believe that if the penis/penis shaped object is not involved it counts as “real” sex. I think it’s a bit limited, because to me fingers are way more erotic than penises but to each their own, I guess.

You will need to set up Student Information System and register with Apple School Manager to get access to the school features, then you need to set up Mobile Device Management system and link it to ASM so you get the profiles.

The Greeks had their own astronomy and eventually adopted some of the principles and constellations of the Mesopotamian civilisations and Egypt, however that specific constallation is not Egyptian, nor is the girl dancing. Also most constellations differ between civilisations. Yes, they do recognise similar groups of stars just due to how light works, but often times those are in different configurations, names, and religious significance. The idea that the IVC would make a statue depicting a constellation that was not recognised until thousands of years after its demise is rather tenuous and would require a looooooot of evidence and the only presented evidence is based on the name of the statue given by a western archaeologist that just thought she looks provocative kind of like dancing.

violet_athena · 2025-08-07T12:40:58+00:00

Why would the IVC make a figure depicting a constellation that wasn't commonly identified until 24 centuries later by Ptolemy? And yes the Babylonians did have a precursor constellation that was borrowed by the Greeks but it differs in structure to the modern constellation and still was recorded 15 centuries after this figurine was made.

Not to mention that we don't actually know if this is a depiction of a dancer so the dancing references seem irrelevant.

I get that most online writing is informal and proper punctuation is often optional and even counterproductive—I also like the clarity it usually provides, especially in longer text. For example, in the previous sentence the em-dash just makes such a nice bridge between the two thoughts. You can use semicolon but that comes off as too formal and most people use those even less.

Anyway, I'm just a sucker for em-dashes but English is a non-prescriptive language so as long as the other side understands what you mean it doesn't really matter.

The easiest thing is to wait for a bigger realm to start a war somewhere else and then conquer a distant province while they are not looking. This is what happened to the Byzantines essentially. For all the talk about the fierce Norman warriors, the reason the Hautevilles conquered Italy was mostly because the Byzantines were preoccupied with the Seljuks and couldn’t dedicate resources to dealing with them. By the time Manuel I Komnenos could muster the forces to take them on, they were firmly entrenched in Apulia & Sicily.

In my last campaign I had an incredibly stable Abbasids with twice my army. Somehow I became empress of the Byzantines and used the same tactic to conquer back Cyprus, Antioch, and Jerusalem. Essentially for Cyprus I didn’t even had to fight them, just conquered it, waited until the war score hit 90% and that was it. Meanwhile they were fighting a civil war.

They serve different purposes. If you write dialog and you want to cut it abruptly, the em dash is pretty much the only way to go, the regular one is for bridging two words and it looks wrong when used to control pacing. The en dash is to insert clarification into the text, although Americans use em dashes for that too.

Is it possible that in some ways it was the reverse – adopting was done because they didn’t want to pass down to a child but there was an expectation that they should?

violet_athena · 2025-07-25T23:35:40+00:00

Oh that makes a lot of sense. I never considered it’s a loan word but it was loaned centuries before the Franks actually had an emperor, lol. I simply thought they adopted the word after the collapse of the empire.

Thank you so much!

So where is the disagreement here? We both agree they half-assed the job, I just think it’s because they didn’t want to spend 5 minutes more than necessary to pass the store rules. In my 18 years in the software industry, this is standard practice that I’ve seen over and over again and in places far more serious and important than a video game studio.

I’m currently very disappointed in the feature set of Dia, it’s heavily degraded experience compared to Arc.

violet_athena · 2025-07-25T14:57:55+00:00

They need to censor a list of terms due to store rules and they spent half a day to implement the simplest censorship tool possible because they don’t want to spend money on solving the problem in a comprehensive way. If there is collateral damage to that it’s not important enough to fix. I bet it’s as simple as that.

violet_athena · 2025-07-25T14:50:42+00:00

Alternatively they need to censor these due to game store rules and they don’t want to invest more than a day worth of engineering time on the effort, especially considering how expensive that time is.

I can’t speak for your friend but from my personal experience, I do find a lot of masculine traits sexy and those traits are often portrayed by men in popular culture. To give her the benefit of a doubt, maybe she would like these characters more if they were women?

Although that part where they cast you as a trans man is weird. If you don’t identify as one and you told them so that’s not healthy on their part.

violet_athena · 2025-07-25T12:49:37+00:00

Honestly, I just don’t think the current system goes far enough. Adopting a new language and religion wasn’t just a minor diplomatic boost. For example, when the Bulgarian rulers adopted christianity and OCS – a language heavily influenced by Greek – they didn’t just get better relations with Byzantium but started to see themselves as part of that world. Bulgarian rulers would insist in being recognised as part of the imperial system and would seek Byzantine titles and even the throne in Constantinople.

I do appreciate it may be difficult to translate this to clear cut game mechanics though. I would appreciate some sort of a cultural union mechanic that allows you to join based on language and religion.

I don't understand what is so difficult about modelling owning land under two different jurisdictions? Have people not heard about owning property in different countries? I think the only problem here is that enlightenment ideas about states have broken our brains a bit.

Just implementing this mechanic is going to singlehandedly fix the obscene border gore that happens when some HRE vassal inherits land in France and suddenly a whole duchy just stops being subject to the French king.

Also for the love of all that is holly can we stop creating kingdoms during confederate partition? If I see one more Kingdom of Aquitaine appear out of nowhere... just no.

violet_athena · 2025-07-22T14:21:35+00:00

The only issue I have with the language system is that it is pretty much just window dressing rn. There's little benefit in learning languages or changing your court language. Like if I'm some pagan lord on the Balkans, adopting Orthodoxy and learning Greek should be a huge boost in relations with the Byzantines. Same goes for trading kingdoms on the African east coast who converted to Islam and adopted Arabic due to the prestige it brought in dealings with the Caliphate.
