I hate how much that looks like somebody's transition before and after pics.

It's Requiem, a mod that disables level scaling and ramps up the game's difficulty. Reading books is one of the few things that doesn't one-shot you at level 1 and it doesn't cost any gold.

No, see, you actually have to go to Whiterun, read every single book there, get to level 3 that way, THEN you can go outside and deliver cabbages.

Yes this is what people actually suggest.

The hippo is pretty alright. Sand Stream is a good ability to have.

Looking at your previous post, it isn't deleveled and it doesn't have Morrowloot though. Sorry!

Have you looked at Tempus Maledictum? It has a good number of gameplay mechanics that differ from vanilla, you can get powerful by using these mechanics, and it has a ton of non-pornographic content that doesn't wreck lore too much.

Going with Sultai.

Okay who is Brad and why is he the only one with breaking news on what senators are doing?

ah lovely, ive seen people celebrate ukraine being fucked over because its "just another us puppet being worshipped, then dropped".

Luigi Mangione would have done much better for public health by targeting RFK Jr instead of a completely replaceable CEO, but like most assassins, he was an anti-establishment right-winger and so never considered killing someone with similar political vibes to himself

I'm not advocating anything

I have seen comparison to the protests in Germany against the AfD (also don't look up the AfD's poll numbers) and comments to the effect "why can't Dems mobilize this" when none of the German protests were really organized by the political parties, except their youth organizations.

Thought about how to put this gently and came up with this: Lots of people are looking to a political legislative party to do something it by definition cannot do and when what they are looking for should come from civil society.

Wow thanks Mr Bellingcat

that’s right, keep engagement farming while the world burns, fuckass

Kingdome Come: Deliverance 2 is getting good reviews, but I'm old enough to remember that the director was a prominent Gamergater, which everyone seems to have forgotten about. Oh well.

My block policy remains the same: if I think there is no reasonable prospect that I will ever have a productive conversation with a person, I block them even before anything spicy happens. This is self-care and curation of my limited time on the Earth.
