@WilliamUlst07 @egfbtkrog45 @IGN Don't feed the trolls.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@soigomaa Wow, this is like a sense of sonder, only much worse. Gee willikers, thanks for that.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@GregBaldwinIroh Nope, that's pretty much it. I would just recommend trying to keep the two separate so that the toast doesn't turn into mush. Other than that, if you can find them, get the cans of Heinz Beans with Sausages and have those on toast.

@jorgertg98 @ohthatgaymer Andalusian here having the meaning of referring to vaguely Spanish/Iberian coded.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@SandyofCthulhu That's a Robin Williams joke.

@WarMonitor3 If we're talking about 'in history', it would be the Battle of Zama. If Rome hadn't won in the Second Punic War, the history of Europe and the world would have been completely altered as Phoenician culture would have dominated the Mediterranean. Defeating Hannibal was pivotal.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@Knightly_Hist They're pretty effective and terrifying in Andor, especially in the Ghorman Massacre. And in the Battle of Scarif in Rogue One they do employ some good tactics - whether you choose to include the speciality Shoretroopers.

@nonregemesse A perfect example of this is the 'frogmouth' helmet here. The visor might seem comically high up, but that's what it's designed for. In this you'd barely need to lean back at all to avoid shards. Dunk's is a just less sophisticated version of this very principle in helmet design.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@nonregemesse No. On a tourney helmet, you want the eyeslit high. Reason being that as you are charging down the tiltyard you can peer over the rim to aim your lance, and then at the last possible second lean your head back just before impact. Otherwise you could get a lance shard in the eye.

@MedievalScholar Overall it's a 9/10 because he could have at least spent a coin or two more on an actual leather belt to take some of the weight of the hauberk off his shoulders, and some leather thonging tied just above the armpit to take the weight there.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@MedievalScholar Dunk's is by far the most grounded armour in its simplicity, and that's very intentional. He's a poor hedge knight. The maille hasn't had time to be properly tailored to him. He can't exactly afford a helmet adorned with iron antlers.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@jtimsuggs It's also a perfect demonstration of Luthen's entire strategy for building the rebellion. Make the Empire overreact, and then watch as their hubris blows up in their faces.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@CoreyWriting Ever heard of Memnon? One of the heroes of the Iliad on the Trojan side? I mention this only because he was from fucking Ethiopia.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@supertanskiii Can the left please stop fucking fighting among itself for one fucking day?

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@SThingsMeme Or that it did happen a few times, maybe for the first month or so, and then sporadically after that. But after that, yeah, it never happened again.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@1GamewithDave1 Empire at War.

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@Frid45 Wouldn't it just be Pax Europa?

[Emsland @TheKillarMillar]

@Fallout @falloutonprime Honestly? The Brotherhood attack on the NCR at the Observatory. There must have been at least a few Knights present that heard of what happened at Helios 1, so for the BoS to take the fight to the NCR and seize their own source of renewable energy must have felt like justice.

@EricaCaitlin_ Hi Erica, I also came back from the future so that I could fall in love with you all over again.
