    It seems it was his way of dealing with the life he was forced to live. He was an intelligent scholarly man, who had to spend majority of his life in cold backwater battling constant incursions of germanic tribes.

    Qu’est-ce que tu viens de dire à propos de moi, petite garce? Je vous ferai savoir que j’ai obtenu mon diplôme de haut de ma classe dans les Navy Seals et que j’ai participé à de nombreux raids secrets sur Al-Quaeda, et que j’ai plus de 300 morts confirmés. Je suis formé à la guerre des gorilles et je suis le meilleur tireur d’élite de l’ensemble des forces armées américaines. Vous n’êtes rien pour moi mais juste une autre cible. Je vais vous effacer avec une précision sans précédent sur cette Terre, marquez mes putains de mots. Tu crois que tu peux t’en sortir en me disant cette merde par Internet? Repense-toi, putain. Au moment où nous parlons, je contacte mon réseau d’espions secrets à travers les États-Unis et votre adresse IP est en cours de traçage pour vous permettre de mieux vous préparer à la tempête, mouche. La tempête qui efface la petite chose pathétique que vous appelez votre vie. Tu es putain mort, gamin. Je peux être n’importe où, n’importe quand, et je peux te tuer de plus de sept cents façons, et ce, à mains nues. Non seulement je suis très entraîné au combat à mains nues, mais j’ai également accès à tout l’arsenal du corps des marines des États-Unis et je vais l’utiliser pleinement pour essuyer votre pauvre cul du continent, merde. Si seulement vous pouviez savoir quelle vengeance impie votre petit commentaire “intelligent” allait provoquer, vous auriez peut-être tenu votre foutue langue. Mais vous ne pouviez pas, vous ne le faisiez pas, et maintenant vous en payez le prix, imbécile. Je vais chier la fureur sur vous et vous allez vous noyer. Tu es putain mort, kiddo.

    “Champion of religious freedom” might be a bit stretch. He actively tried to suppress the Christianity through various edicts limiting their access to education, state bureucracy and military. That and by attempting to give the various pagan cults similar structure and hierarchy the christians had.

    Dude was the worlds first neo-pagan.

    Too bad he forgot to put his damn armor on.

    There is some serious nerd rage around this show. A large group of terminally online people who cant get over the fact that this show exists. I remember when it was announced, the lotr subreddits collectively decided its going to suck, and any dissent was downvoted to oblivion. Then, when s1 came out, every new episode was immediately micro-analyzed and various aspects declared as bad (ranging from vague “bad writing” to “too woke” to straight up racism). Various mean spirited memes were popping up in otherwise meme-free subreddits, actors were personally attacked. It was pretty bad time to be Tolkien fan and liking the show, to say the least.

    So yeah, the show gets disproportionate amount of hate for being based on the LotR. I am not saying it’s television masterpiece, but its 7/10 at worst, a fun adventure in Middle Earth with decent story and interesting characters you can root for.

    I mean, imagine if s1 RoP ended the way HotD s2 did. Can you imagine the reaction?

    Im curious, did you watch season 2 of HoTD? I had fun with with both RoP and HotD season 1, but the second season of the House was so mind numbingly boring we had trouble finishing it. Not to mention the underwhelming finale.

    I was surprised how big Black-crowned night heron is, back when I saw them for the first time in Zoo. Its my favorite bird in the Wingspan board game, and I guess with their big head and the short neck, I was expected a smallish bird. Boy was I wrong.

    I am going to mention the rogue planets, since no one else has mentioned them here yet. Those unlucky celestial bodies ejected by their home star, destined to fly through the universe alone, dark and cold, forever.

    8 gets a lot of hate along with the rest of the sequels, and I remember being pissed off of its scorched earth treatment of every single plot point from 7 after watching it in the movie theatre, but looking back… at least it tried to be original. The scenes are visually memorable, and its message that even nobody can rise up to be a hero, is miles better than… whatever the 9 did with Rey.

    Strength based pure throw rogue idea

    Suffering from chronic restartitis I’ve just had an idea about a semi unique build I have not seen much discussion about anywhere. I’ve been wondering whether it would be viable or not. As per title, the gist of the build is going full rogue- but instead of going full DEX we would keep it just high enough to gain +2 to AC and instead go full STR. The benefits of this would be: - Longer jumps - (literally) Reliable pushing thanks to profeciency in athletics and the lvl 11 reliable talent - Sneak attack procs from throwing daggers, which combined with Tavern Brawler could do some serious damage - havent done the math though. - More carry weight obviously - could equip one of the ~~versatile~~ edit: finesseable longswords and take advantage of GWM while still being able to proc sneak attacks The cons would be lower AC and worse sneaking and pickpocket, though the Reliable talent again would solve those issues at lvl 11. As for the subclass Thief would work best for extra bonus action I think. Though assassin would probably work too? The guaranteed crit throw sneak attack would obliterate an enemy before the combat even started. Have anyone tried this? Edit: as for race obviously Githyanki and maybe Shield dwarf would work best for free Medium armor prof. Edit2: fixed mistakes

    Jumping from ME1 to ME2 insanity feels like a punch to the face

    First LE playthrough, just finished my ME1 insanity adept playthrough, and jump right away into ME2 insanity as vanguard, because Ive already finished the trilogy as adept years back. Man, I’ve forgotten how punishing the second game is. Playing as vanguard didn’t help either. Somehow I’ve managed to scrape through the Archangel dossier after several tries, and now I’m powering through the Mordin mission. Every encounter feels like a life or death situation.

    Fun to build lego set recommendation?

    I was obsessed with Lego as a kid, and would like to get into the hobby once again, not as an investment, but for the fun of it. I am huge fan of Star Wars, and Lego star wars seem to be all the rage nowadays, but looking at the sets, they seem to be awfully overpriced for what they seem offer. I am looking for something that will be fun to build, and not terribly pricey (not more than cca 180€). Preferably fantasy or scifi inspired. I’ve been browsing the lego website and [this set in particular cought my eye](https://www.lego.com/en-at/product/medieval-blacksmith-21325). Any recommendations? Thanks

    Your favorite/least favorite DA:O origin? [possible spoilers]

    For me, I really like both Dwarf origins, with Noble probably a bit more. Dwarf commoner shows how bad castless have it and provides a unique outlook on the later part of the game, and is one of the few origins where joining the wardens really feels like a step up in the world. Although the ending of the origin feels rushed, a bit deus ex machina, IMO. Dwarf noble is just amazing all around. So many ways you can roleplay your dwarf, and the origin adjusts accordingly- you can be an honorable goody two-shoes, or a scheming douchebag that is too noble to talk to your lessers. You can refuse to participate in the noble schemes, or play the game of thrones yourself- the end result is the same, but how guilty you join them differs. As for the least favorite origin, I have to say it’s the City Elf one for me. I just don’t like how one-dimensional the villain is, how little impact it has, considering how traumatic the whole origin can be. What about tou?

    The internet has lied to me about Necromancer

    It’s so much fun. I was googling mages specs before choosing and most of the posts have called necro the worst of the three, unfun and weak. Most of the builds out there recommend skipping the right side of the three entirely, and and picking the walking bomb. Big mistake. Wisps of the fallen almost triples my attack dps with max stack and the dot from the Mark melts enemies in seconds. As for the rest I have yet to find a spell more satisfying than Walking Bomb. Those two skills alone have turned my mage into powerhouse of the party. Also, you can self-res with a revive when simulacrum is active. I admit I have hadnot much use for the horror, and I have not tried haste yet. Has anyone else had fun with necromancer spec? Any build tips?

    Does anyone have a theme in mind across the games?

    For example I have been planning a dalish playthrough across the three games - Dalish Warden, Hawke romancing Merill, Dalish Inquisitor. In the end my Inq ended up being Qunari and the only common thing across the games ended up all my PCs being extremely lesbian. Damn you Sera. What about you?
