  • I think so too! One of my favorite games, especially with Tamriel Rebuilt, which I still have to play. But I also agree with the other commentator - it is kind of dated nowadays, to the point of being too old for me. Gothic had immersive day/night cycles, while in MW all just stand around and stare at walls. At some point this just becomes not good enough, with all the graphical clunkiness.





  • Ah, that reminds me of the good old Attila client states. For all who haven’t played the game, in Total War: Attila you can create client states. However, each times you get attacked, you must ask them to help in the war, and should they refuse they will automatically be at war with you as well.

    In practice, that means that each client state is basically a ticking time bomb: because their friend Barbaricus Maximus Chadus has decided to launch a suicide war against you, the client states often just go “yep, I wanna get annihilated too” and refuse to defend with you (and thus go to war with you).

    Long story short - foederati states are trash. Never trust anyone, and remember that Roman glory is forged in blood!



  • I would urge people to be careful how much we think disabled people (might) suffer. My mom is colorblind (she sees the whole world in shades of white or black), and her vision strength is 5% or lower. She is definitely disabled and receives a pension for not being able to work. Still, she managed to build up some form of existence: she managed to start an education and became a masseuse, and she gave birth to me and my brother. If my grandma would’ve known that my mom will not be able to live on her own, she maybe wouldn’t have proceeded with the pregnancy. Then I wouldn’t be here either.

    My conclusion: what do you define by disability? If it is a chronic disease which means your child will be in pain their whole life, it is very different than having a child who isn’t able to “function” normally, but isn’t inherently in pain. Over my mom I met a lot of other disabled people, and most of them have built up an existence and lead a life. My mom wouldn’t agree that she is forced to suffer her whole life.

    No one is forced to bear out a child. You are not morally responsible to bear out a child, in my opinion. But we shouldn’t assume we know how this person will grow and develop during their lives.
