One of my favorite tidbits about Oblivion is that, when Bethesda brought Patrick Stewart in to play Uriel Septim, they gave him this big 90-page booklet detailing the character’s history and background and motivations, and they were really worried that they’d gone overboard and given him too much.  Meanwhile, Stewart was delighted–he’s said that it was the best character prep he’d ever been given, and he wished more people would do that.

It’s worth noting that this character dies in the tutorial

I know, I know, gatekeeping the outdoors, that’s supposedly bad, right, but I think if you show up to do a hike and you brought a portable speaker with you to play music while you hike, I think, like hear me out, there should be a gate, and someone at the gate should keep you from doing the hike.

playing music in public should get strong social disapproval

Recorded music, anyway. Live music is different rules. If you want to lug an entire cello up a mountain you can do whatever the hell you want.

Carrying a speaker on a hike to make everyone listen to your bullshit, and simply sitting under a tree and playing a fiddle in the woods, are two activities so different they may as well not exist in the same world.

reasons new pickup trucks suck:

  • the beds are at best no bigger, and often smaller, than older models
  • heavier = less efficient
  • higher bumpers make them less compatible with most other vehicles, therefore more dangerous in a collision
  • higher tailgates make them harder to load
  • higher hoods give them an enormous blindspot in the front
  • higher center of gravity makes them less stable
  • higher seats give the driver a worse view of their immediate surroundings
  • higher bumpers also make them more likely to collide with a pedestrian’s chest as opposed to their legs, as well as making the victims more likely to go under the car, leading to more deaths

oh also market research suggests people who buy trucks and SUVs are more likely to be assholes lmao

basically, watch this video if you need more reasons to hate trucks:

Every pickup truck I ever see actually being used for work or to haul shit is one of those older normal trucks not those gigantic mistakes

I think Joan of Arc’s fursona would be a dog called Joan of Bark, but my partner thinks it would be a phoenix, which seems insensitive to me, but neither of us are furries, so I guess we don’t really get a say either way.

I promise I’m not trying to be pretentious here.

Jeanne d’Arc’s last name is d’Arc.  An overly-literal translator insisted it stood for “of Arc”, and that’s why we know her as Joan of Arc.  At the time, she was more commonly known as “Jeanne la Pucelle”, meaning “Joan the Maiden” or “Joan the Virgin”.

anyways since her main attack strategy was “hit them until they stop moving” I think she’d be a gorilla.

*taking notes* What else do you know about this beautiful world?
