Mithra were female only and the 1.0 races were just straight ports of the FFXI races.  Roegadyn women and Mi’qote men were both added in 2.0

You’re right, they are neutral evil. They are neither demon nor devil, just fiends!

It’s a drinking game.  Like quarters.

I gotta be honest here, I’m kinda liking the idea of taking the game that was originally created to illustrate how destructive rampant capitalism is for everyone involved but one person who wins through taking the money and property of everyone else being restructed to apply the same lessons towards ideas of “having…

Yup, that was the MFTD I found and bookmarked! In addition, here was the motif-index I found http://www.dinor.demon.nl/motif/index.html?index . It doesn’t have actual examples of folk tales using the motifs like the Aarne-Thomson-Uther does, but it DOES have the references to examples as far as I can tell, which is at…

I come from the future to say...I had no idea these classification systems existed and I am more excited than words can describe. I’ve now bookmarked online versions of the Multilingual Folk Tale Database and Motif-index of folk-literature.

On a very small plus side, I think I found one of the 110 missing. I was having dinner out at a Mexican restaurant here in Salem, OR and we got to talking about the wildfires. There were two older gentlemen at the table next to us, and they turn and one says he is from Paradise and his home is almost definitely…

This whole thing kinda shows again why people grow out of identifying as a gamer, usually in their late teens. It’s absolutely insane. I’ve been playing Diablo since Diablo 1, and this new game has absolutely no interest to me...but uh...beyond maybe rolling my eyes a little at the announcement I can’t imagine what…

So in summary...we need to stick our hand up your ass and work you like a marionette to actually get you to do anything? Because who cares about literal fascists taking over society when the other side isn’t as interesting as youtube videos on their phone. Can you imagine how much effort looking up how to do something…

Ah, gotcha. Fascinating stuff, I really need to read up more on Chinese history. I have a decent handle from the second Sino-Japanese war onward, and some knowledge from the Opium wars onwards, but pre-mid 19th century the majority of my knowledge comes from...er...Europe Universalis, so I’m flying blind.

Was there no ethnically-derived backlash during the Yuan? Or was the Manchu influence on non-court life in China stronger than it was in the Yuan leading to more people being cognizant of the differences?

“(Most wanted a republic; a few wanted to go back to the Han dynasty.)“

Take your star ya ingrate

Yup, it was a hard habit to break that took actual conscious effort to excise from my vocabulary for sure.  In general, as long as someone rephrases afterwards I have no problem with it, it’s easy to forgive the mistake when they know it was a mistake and are trying to change it themselves.

I am FULLY on board with various communities migrating their wikis away from Fandom. Talk about a company that is universally hated for what they do and only survive because of the lack of competition...I don’t know the right way to monetize what is fundamentally a collaborative amateur fan project to catalogue…

So uh...I’m not really familiar with these barstool guys.  Is there some collected lore that details everything that has gone on?  Judging from this, it seems to go back quite a ways.  Are they just the sports alt right?

I just want to throw out something may not realize if they don’t know law very well: In cases like this what they do is tend to name every possible plaintiff and let the court sort it out. Basically, what they are alleging is “This is unfair and there were circumstances beyond just the crazy guy that were preventable…

IIRC, haven’t those white nationalist groups also pretty much ruined all northern european pagan symbols? They’ve definitely associated with norse runes and various celtic imagery to the point that I know multiple neopagan organizations have had to literally denounce nazis and explain that no, their beliefs have…

I wonder if the left has a problem when, as a social democrat, I feel shamed and unwelcome. Farbeit for me to decide what is “left enough” but...aren’t all these ideological purity tests the reason we have issues capitalizing on anger at the right? You can’t even support the idea of capitalism with strong…

It’s definitely evolved from one of those “Haha nudge nudge wink wink” uniting insiders type jokes to something taken WAY the fuck too seriously. Is ketchup good on hot dogs? The shocking answer is: Who fucking cares unless they are putting it on yours?
