Wind through leaves like waves on the shore.

@Elvish_Harper It's just so obviously more of the piraha's sour-grapes-anprim-xenophobia. Like how they refuse to build boats that aren't terrible despite living next to the Amazon. Nearby cultures know how to do this because they aren't being intentionally retarded as a point of pride.

@Elvish_Harper @NobodyIsOurGuy I guess they replaced that one guy in the brotherhood, but that doesn't actually seem to go anywhere. No faction has to deal with internal strife from compromised leadership or bad reports. You just shoot teleporting robots instead of fast-traveling people.

@Elvish_Harper @NobodyIsOurGuy I think the institute is supposed to be evil but they mostly just come off as retarded. They kill and replace people so as to infiltrate their societies— thus learning that all of these dirty people in ugly buildings have a grand twofold agenda: jack and shit.

@uncle_deluge How long a piece of fuel burns is determined by the ratio of surface area to volume, and this ratio is not constant at different scales. Fire would be faster at ant-size.

@C_U271D There are some written from another's perspective (e.g. >be my grandpa). Imagine this sort of attribution carried forward. ">be my ancestor" What a command to give your audience.

@C_U271D How do the skyscrapers menace you?

@C_U271D @CarterCorpse School uniform with logo ostentatiously replaced?

@didrikmagnusand I like that his bronze plate is patterned like boar's tusk. Very funny how the form of old materials persists in new ones.

@C_U271D Do you ever get the ones where the main impression is the sickening ache of being late and failing to navigate quickly? Where you lie to yourself that you could still get there in time if you could only read your map properly.

@C_U271D Yngland appears to have eaten Zafnheim's coast. Why and how did they do that? Also, who are the Yng whose land that now is, who are the Zafn whose home it now isn't?

@Cuitin3 Edward the Black Prince? He has a famous funeral effigy and nice heraldry that you might enjoy drawing.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D Not to mention that the "imperial truth" is that very special brand of opsec that immediately disintegrates on contact with the enemy.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D It takes a very special grade of fuckup to pin the security of your star empire on the sanity and loyalty of twenty people and then do worse than coinflip odds at retaining them.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D Can't wait. Hyped for more.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D @Nomad_Meta Imagine the inverse of when medieval warfare occasionally got held up by holidays. Premature attack on the holy remembrance of saint such-and-such in honor of how much he despised orks. Bottom-up, too. Like Triarii complaining about lack of action, getting sent to the front.

[CG @CGrimness]

@uncle_deluge Feeding the next word machine the front half of a poorly written science fiction novel and panicking when it emits approximately the back half of same. This is "research", apparently.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D Not that they didn't show off, of course. Just did so in a way they could justify to their peers.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D It's actually kind of fascinating how that new elite interacted with the social mores of the Protestant low countries, which defined themselves in part in opposition to an idea of a sinfully lavish Catholic opposite. Wealth expressing itself almost bashfully in nice clothes.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D Even doing this with the imperial guard would be fantastic, and they're not going to do it because they're cowards.

[CG @CGrimness]

@C_U271D Poetic. A land of strife and famine, where civilization is decaying and beset on all sides. More wolves and less meat. Like 'where now the horse and the rider'.
