Yes, a true Rogue-like where every run is fresh.

Sometimes I wonder if moving dirt and shooting bugs is a good way to make a living...

You're way more likely to be a random civilian pressed into service to defend Minas Tirith, if that helps.

The game was rigged from the start...

If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. "Pallet Town" having three buildings is unlivable but it isn't shown that way in non-game media.

The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.

It's pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren't important or interesting and you're polite to adventurers.

Likely still a net improvement over all the fossil fuels they're burning for that shit now.

Many (most?) volunteer moderators are doing unpaid labor for a community they are invested in that happens to be hosted by capitalists because aggregation (and smart phones giving every normie constant access to the internet) killed forum culture.

It's still the only major community hub for loads of hobbies and such. As an example: the Magic the Gathering community here has 1300 members and almost no activity.

I've got half a foot and a hundred pounds on him, I would jump at the opportunity.

The boundaries of the law exist to protect the status quo, which is why every important movement has been illegal.

It's more that .ml is the biggest instance with that filter that will show up on .world, the biggest instance overall. So statistically, unless they are specifically looking at instances with automatic slur post filtering, this is the situation they will notice it in. They aren't seeing the content differently, the removed is happening at the post so it's the same experience for everybody.

The nation's economy relies on people who don't make enough to tuck money away.

It's the biggest one still federated with .world with that filter.

Almost everything you said is why I prefer Morrowind and replay it more than any other Elder Scroll. I don't like how hand-holdy and forgiving most modern games are.

The AI is obviously dated, some of the systems are underdeveloped, but stuff like the quest journal and athletic skills and how hard it is at the beginning if you aren't careful or attentive are all major plusses for me. I want the weapon variety, I want the freedom to be anything but without the wishy-washy "you can be everything" style Skyrim has because they're terrified of locking a player out of any content.

Yeah, it's a more immersive and interesting world. I also prefer the quest journal over map markers, make you actually read and interpret shit instead of fast travelling to the nearest pip. You also can't just be the boss of every faction, they have incompatible goals.

And it does say when you break a main quest so you can revert your save. Just don't be a murderhobo.

ACAB isn't a narrative it's the truth.

"A language is a dialect with an army and navy." -Max Weinreich

The difference between "dialect" and "mutually intelligible language" is usually defined by convenience and politics and the Scots classification is not a settled matter, nor is it an important distinction outside of identity/pride.

The obvious examples are people typing in Scots or AAVE but that's more just phonetic transcription of existing language.

This video is ten years old so the examples are outdated but the idea is sound.

We've been breaking treaties for as long as we've been a country, just ask the remnants of the native peoples. We've had brief, shining periods as a force for good or scientific achievement, but mostly it's a big, racist shithole.
