It was funny watching this get passed, because the main opposition to it in the Senedd has been Andrew RT Davis, a Tory MS who campaigned for it in a few years back in Penarth and is transparently against it because it's a Welsh Labour policy.

This is the best they can do, isn't it?

A symbolic gesture of hatred that their targets can't even see. data-laughing

Reposting one of my old comments:

Fundamentally satire of fascism doesn't work because fascist ideology revolves around the idea that you're a loser made weak by the removed other but can be made strong and cool by doing all the violence.

If fight club had a scene where Tyler Durden tried to ask a girl out in queue to the McDonald's breakfast menu, pissed himself out of nervousness, and then broke into tears in front of everyone. All that would change is there'd be a fascist org called Piss Boys whose initiation would involve drink a lot of water before queuing up for the world's greasiest hash browns.

That makes sense.

It's the only source of any info about the Tsaesci that's not just, like: they look like snakes and invaded Tamriel a couple of times.

So ironically, it does the same thing IRL orientalist art did to misinform westerner scholars about the "East".

Person with weird stance on transpeople is in fact a transphobe.

If TV shows count: Earthsea.

It was such a poor adaptation that Ursula Le Guin wrote an article denouncing it.

I'm gonna assume the non-serial killer one is either Barcus or Wulbren. Because, I honestly can't remember any gnome characters that aren't part of the ironhand gnome questline apart from the evil butler guy from Dark Urge.

Human form kitsune is technically a polymorph but without any costs or penalties (except losing pounce and bite), which meant you could play the entire game basically a human and gain buffs from any item that buffed on polymorph (like any clothes/armour made from the altar of the first retriever).

Does it count as picking the furry option if it's to metagame your monk for optimum stats?

It's debatable whether or not there are humans in Akavir, Mysterious Akavir says the Tsaesci consumed them but humans are present on Alduin's wall and in an excerpt from a journal written during the Akaviri invasion of Tamriel. Both of which are supposed to have been created after the alleged consuming.

Lolth-sworn drow is great. Bullying Dhorn out of what is otherwise a mandatory combat encounter was the highlight of the underdark for me.

Tbh vanishing the Graht-oaks and making Eldenroot plant itself wasn't the worst ESO did to Valenwood's lore, I'm still a little sad that Silvenar is nothing like in A Dance In Fire.

relevant paragraphIf Falinesti was a tree, then Silvenar was a flower. A magnificent pile of faded shades of green, red, blue, and white, shining with crystalline residue. Mallon had mentioned off-hand, when not otherwise explaining Aldmeri prosody, that Silvenar had once been a blossoming glade in the forest, but owing to some spell or natural cause, the trees' sap began flowing with translucent liqueur. The process of the sap flowing and hardening over the colorful trees had formed the web of the city.

Vs how it appeared in ESO
