🇧🇷‼️🚨 WOMAN THROWN DOWN FROM BRIDGE - FORGOT ROPE

This is probably the stupidest way to die. You pay the guys to throw you down the bridge … but they are sloppy and forgot the rope. You fall to your death.

The tragic accident happened on Skeleton Bridge between Limeira and Cordeirópolis in the state of San Paolo.

The rope jumping instructors simply forgot to tie the rope to the lady’s feet and threw her down from 40 meters height (130 feet).

Sad, rip girl.

On social media she wrote shortly before: "Who was the crazy guy who let me jump off a bridge???".

"You're right," Vulkan conceded, holding up Dawnbringer so he could see it.

"I fashioned it as a teleporter, a means to escape even a prison such as this. I counted on you leading me here, on you needing to face me one last time. It seems I was fooled into thinking you hadn't planned for this."

I lowered the weapon, letting the weight of its head drag the haft downward until my hand rested at the very end of the grip.

"But you're forgetting one thing..."

Curze leaned forward.

He believed he had me.

Believed there was no escape from this trap.

He was wrong.

"What's that, brother?"

"It's also a hammer."

✠Admiral Hipper (Retrofit)✠

Hmph. Don't look at me like you missed me, or something! All I did was get my retrofit and come back stronger than ever... I-I wasn't waiting around for you to come looking for me! I was just passing through, you dummy!

Currently, Admiral Hipper is in dry dock being retrofitted. She will be ready to launch soon!

Let’s talk magic, because this is where it really starts to fall apart.

In Dragon Age: Origins, magic is a system, not a gimmick. It’s rooted in the Fade—mages can cast spells because they have a stronger connection to it than ordinary people. Spirits and demons are real, possession is a constant risk, and the entire Circle system exists to control that danger.

And the variety actually matters. You’re not just “a mage,” you specialize:
• Primal (fire, ice, lightning)
• Spirit (mana drain, spell disruption, anti-magic)
• Creation (healing, buffs, support)
• Entropy (hexes, curses, debuffs)
• Arcane Warrior, Blood Mage, Shapeshifter, Spirit Healer, etc.

Magic is learned, studied, and taught. Mages train in Circles, pass the Harrowing—literally entering the Fade and resisting possession by a demon—and only then become full enchanters. There’s structure, risk, philosophy behind it.

And the Veil? When Solas created it, it separated the physical world from the Fade. Without it, it’s heavily implied that magic would be far more common—maybe even universal. That’s why ancient elves were so powerful.

Technology, meanwhile, is rare. Dwarves—who don’t have a connection to the Fade—are the ones pushing engineering forward. People like Bianca’s creator (and other surface dwarves) are outliers specifically because innovation is uncommon. Magic and technology are two completely different domains in Thedas. They don’t overlap.

And then Dragon Age: The Veilguard comes in and suddenly everything is “ancient magic,” “elven magic,” artifacts that function like tech, and organizations like the Veil Jumpers basically acting like magical containment units. It starts to feel less like a mystical system tied to the Fade and more like… fantasy-flavored technology.

Even the basics get weird. If you play as a mage, there are moments that treat magic like something you build or “graduate” with a project—when in the original lore, becoming a mage is about surviving the Harrowing. You don’t craft your way into being an enchanter. You face a demon, or you die.

Magic in Origins felt dangerous, spiritual, and deeply tied to the fabric of the world. It had rules, consequences, and identity.

Turning it into something that behaves like advanced tech—especially elven tech—doesn’t expand the lore. It flattens it.

When I first started my career, they told me not to live near the shipyard because it was sketchy.

But apartments were cheap, and I couldn’t get over the fact that I would have a practically private “beach” right next to the ghost of America’s first nuclear aircraft carrier.

The Clegane brothers finally clash. ⚔️🛡️

When the Mountain turns his murder0us rage on an unarmed Ser Loras, the Hound steps in to even the odds.

It’s a rare display of Sandor’s hidden honor and the moment we realized the dog had more humanity than the knight. One of the most iconic saves in the Seven Kingdoms.

Two brothers, one lifelong hatred, and a legendary intervention. 🛡️⚔️🔥

Britain used to be led by men like this.

• Sent to stop an assembling invasion force
• Face impossible odds
• Invent new battle doctrine on the spot
• Lead from the front (suicide)
• Win decisively!
• Capture ALL enemy ships
• Unexpectedly achieve total naval supremacy
• Unexpectedly achieve global hegemony that lasts for 200 years.
• Bleed out onboard your shattered flagship HMS Victory

No other man has ever experienced such an afternoon.
