  • I think it is, especially since he said almost exactly the same thing that I did in my first post in this thread. Right down to the "swallow (his) pride for a while" thing. Deliberately so. I was including your first post in my answer. You cal…
  • There are some evil vampires. You can join them to plunge the world into eternal night so you can rule it, or join the Dawnguard, a group of vampire hunters dedicated to exterminating them. And yet the quests for both are mostly the same. It …
  • The way power plants are now, something like Chernobyl is literally impossible, and likewise, there are plenty of places where stuff like Fukushima cannot happen. I'm not saying it's risk free, or that they should be used everywhere, but it is ce…
  • But harboring resentment will only lead to negative feelings towards the situation, which will only worsen it given the sound of Icalasari's father. So what you say is t hat he should delude himself into thinking something else? I don't know i…
  • Like it or not, nowadays, Facebook is one of the only ways of getting information about people you aren't in direct contact with. Unless you are a hermit, you will know people, and things can happen to those people. I don't feel the need to ke…
  • ...Except it's nearly impossible to avoid using Facebook nowadays? I don't have, never had and don't plan to have an account on that damn data kraken. Do you really think wind power is a remotely viable alternative? Even in its current for…
  • No, from a corporate perspective, SimCity was a massive success. People bought it, so who gives a fuck if they liked it? Yeah. That's exactly the problem with preorders and first day purchases. Especially from EA. And EA's tsrategy has been fo…
  • While posting such stuff endlessly surely can be annoying (but hey, your own fault for being on facebook ), the picture itself is right.
  • Huh. Well, I was a bit confused actually about whether we're in or out of character. In-character Malcolm X is much more fun, anyway: "Don’t lay down our life all by itself. No, preserve your life. it’s the best thing you got. And if you got to giv…
  • And the worst part is I know for a fact that he blocked his parents on Facebook, so there's no way this is going to backfire on him. Oh come on. While the picture coupled with his lesbian threeway comment is just facepalm worthy, the picture i…
  • Yes, I know. Now I could use a counter.-argument to that, but I already did. I think even more than once. This is getting repetitive. So I think Nova had the right the idea to lift the discussion onto another track...
  • What a misleading manipulative graphic. Yes, ExxonMobil USA (i.e., the gas station chain) may only make 8c pofit per gallon, but as the article itself says 3/4 of the price is the crude oil... and drilling oil is what Exxon does, too. In fact, its t…
  • A better province than the Empire? What? Do you mean, what makes Skyrim better than Cyrodiil? Well, objectively nothing. But those things are always subjective: For obvious reasons the people in Skyrim will of course care more about Skyrim than Cyro…
  • So, uh... you have explained a pretty nice story, and also have provided a conclusion of what this 'process' entails, but I think you haven't really told us what you find so attractive about it. Is it the karmic justice inherent in that process, or …
  • Innocence proves nothing.
  • ^^Ah damn. When I saw that I wanted to make a shitpost snowclone thread naturally called: People who make "People who make "People who make "People who make "People who" threads" threads" threads" threads .... but that's too long for a thread title
  • The article seems fair enough to me, though in a way the author seems to fall victim to the very thing he complains about. The distinction between capital-l Literature and genre fiction is in fact the underlying problem here... but after correctly h…
  • I think that countries should be allowed to secede if they wish to. If they don't- see High Rock, Morrowind, etc- then sure, the Empire should extend as much as it wasn't. Uh, Morrowind pretty clearly would have wanted to secede. The only trul…
  • Can someone explain to me, again, the inherent wrongness of "People who" threads? In a way, IA told the problem himself: Half the people in this thread are part of this "People who" category. And now look how annoyed some of those people got w…
  • >make a 'People who' thread Well, there's your problem!
  • I see no reason why the Empire should extend anywhere beyond Cyrodiil, or exist at all except as some form of Cyrodiilian state. I guess, part of my stance is that I've already been opposed to the (Septim) Empire out of principle in previous games, …
  • Strangely, Partisans of Amur in German translation. As both a cover.
  • The thing is, so many arguments against Ulfric boil down to him fighting a war among the human (or well, non-Elven Nazi) peoples, fighting an internal war when instead everybody should focus on fighting said Elven Nazis. But the problem is the same …
  • Except thanks to the war, the Empire isn't preparing. The Thalmor are going to be ready, and the Empire is not. Well, that is the Empire's own choosing. Though, then again, it isn't really true anyway: The reason Tullius is on his own and does…
  • Truth be told, my attitude "there is so much to be fixed in the world!" would probably let me go down that path, too. Oh well...
  • ... And you don't see how that's a bad thing? Forcing the Empire into a war it's underprepared for? As you have pointed out yourself, it's been nearly 30 years since the end of the war. If the Empire is not prepared now, it never will be. Reco…
  • But, in the end, you can in fact do more with cuts, editing and CGI. We've just gotten incredibly used to it, that's all.
  • I wouldn't even demand worship. Well, okay, maybe if I go mad with power; you can never exclude that possibility. But think about how much is wrong in the world, and you now suddenly have divine powers! There is so much you can attempt to just outri…
