• [Other] Have you played Dark Queen of Mortholme?

  It's an anti-soulslike, I suppose. You are the final boss, and the hero is a pathetic little mortal that you crush with one swing of your fell weapon. Except they just keep coming back, and they keep learning your tricks It's a very short game, maybe half an hour to play through. I had fun with it Available on itch.io (pay what you want) and Steam (currently half price)

• [BB] Believing in cosmic karma = shield-poking in Bloodborne, so says Kill Six Billion Demons

  I love this comic. I imagine this is probably a deliberate reference in phrasing, but if it's not I'm going to pretend it is anyway

• [ER] Using a map modding tool to test my theory of where the Realm of Shadow used to be in the Lands Between

  Many people more competent with these tools than me have suggested ideas, but none that I've seen have done it the way that I think it should be, so I did it myself with Smithbox. So, the principles I worked on: The scale of the game maps is not accurate. The general form of the lands and the relative positions of landmarks is accurate, but the Lands Between are obviously meant to be bigger than a couple dozen castles that you can run between in less than an hour The Suppressing Pill...

  The second-biggest cryptocurrency split in two becaue some people just decided to undo transactions. The transactions were absolutely theft, but the point is that some people just decided to change what the ledger said.

  To be fair I would also fly into a murderous rage if an entire church full of people had their phonesplaying siren sounds at max volume and did nothing about it

  Yeah that seems pretty much spot on

  I think the kind of guy who would, unprompted, tell someone they're being unattractive like this probably earned the rudeness Good on him for apparently learning from the situation though

  40 miles per charge, for those that haven't read it. That's enough for a return trip on a whole lot of ferry journeys, though. Certainly a good chunk of the major ones where I am

  Ahh, fair enough. I hope so too, I'd be interested to read that. I can believe there would be at least some, because there was definitely steady contact between those two parts of the world at that time, but I don't know specifics

  I don't know about how many would have lived in Greece, but they're definitely in the tale of the Trojan War. There's a whole poem, Aethiopis, starring them. The original text is pretty much entirely lost, but we do have a Roman-era summary of it to give us the broad strokes. Aethiopians show up in other stuff too; Perseus fights a sea monster there, for example

  I don't know, my point was more just that there are absolutely plenty of black people in the relevant literature

  Well we can recognise people by their voices and, if we're around someone long enough, even by the sound of their footsteps, right? And cats have far better hearing than us
