To be fair on Dunmer they hate each other just as much, if they’re the wrong kind of Dunmer, Outlanders, Ashlanders or a rival house etc

The giant spiders are the friendly ones though.

At least those people who have been hoarding shipping containers of pennies so that they can sell the metal when they’re no longer currency are going to be happy.

Hagiography is not uncommonly used sarcastically to describe a fawning biography.

Thanks, I know about latifunda in the terms of calling plantations in South America that and Patrick Wyman saying latifunda on podcasts. So I could back form at a guess.

I feel like they were an ascending order of normalcy

Oppobrium? I have no idea

Latifundium? I’m not sure but I guess has to do with latifunda which are like plantations

Bellicose? Warlike from latin, bella being war

Effete? The thing I get called

Obviously modding it until it breaks is an option for Skyrim. But one way I like to play is to do the normal game but as soon as I butt up against a problem or find something lacking fix it with mods.

Right now with my Vampire Lesbian, the Bloodchill Manor was feeling a bit lonely. I had turned Carine a beggar into a vampire for a previous quest. I used the mod that lets you turn beggars into servants. So now I have a named vampire I created keeping my place tidy, alongside my wife Uthgerd and a human thrall in the cell. I’m going to get the bone wolf as a pet too, because my character is also a powerful necromancer. Maybe use a mod to adopt that Aretino kid to raise as an assassin if I ever do the Dark Brotherhood.

They did a Trashfuture episode on him and he is a real weirdo.

I mean historically there was a difference between vulgarity (saying rude stuff) and cursing (insulting/invoking disdain at people or circumstances).

People said fuck and shit (or their equivalents) etc for thousands of years, but not necessarily as cursing or insults. Mother fucker, shit head etc are much more modern, even if the words are older.

People were much more religious so saying god damn you/burn in hell etc was serious and often the thing used to curse. “What in damnation” sounds silly but it was offensive. Some people still are really religious.

Blasphemy/taking the lords name etc was a bigger deal. I know in Italy if you’re really pissed off you still say “porco dio” or god-pork/pig, it’s an absurd thing, but the severe blasphemy makes it so rude.

Probably why it was a plot point in the show, those restrictions were getting challenged legally or being considered outdated at the time. But by the 90s mostly all gone.

Ashkenazi Jews were definitely fully white by the 90s that’s a hard point, I think most country club bans were overturned in the late 80s, Seinfeld was the most successful show on tv and everyone was living in the end of history where there wasn’t anything silly like racism to light skinned minorities.

Before then it was a process. You might have a Jewish doctor or lawyer, but there were degrees of othering and exclusion.

I heard about this in Boonta Vista’s Big Egg segment. They really are the premier small news podcast.

Lesbian Toxic Yuri, I swapped my character and Uthgard’s wedding rings for the Ring of Erudite and the Ring of the Beast.

Survival mode in Skyrim is quite interesting as a level 81 Vampire Lord. My follower is my spouse, Uthgerd the Unbroken, now turned Vampire herself too. She can cook me a hot meal everyday we travel and I can feed off people at night (my favorite is Jarls) so I don’t have to worry about hunger that much. Switching into Vampire Lord is great for travelling at night between towns, because you’re immune to the severe cold and can fly over water.

I’m using a mod that lets me teleport between Volkhiar Castle, Bloodchill Manor and Gallows Hall. Which is enough to be a powerful Vampire and Mage who doesn’t need to wait, but also I still have to plan quest journeys.

I’m using a powerful female vampire as a dead thrall. I like that it’s either intentional or a glitch but if you reanimate certain dead vampires they have dialogue, often the same lines repeated over and over instead of groaning like humans. It’s like in reanimating an already undead being, I’ve brought them back much further but they’re still not quite right.

Alternative start Volkhiar. Dunmer female. Use console to set one handed, light armor, sneak, and illusion to 100. Going to recruit Uthgard the Unbroken as my thrall then marry and turn into a vampire.

Getting tired of Skyrim, must be time to wrap up. My brain as I’m about to fall asleep. Make a gay vampire

Arrogant Guinea Fowl? Owls with Shifty looks?

Making a dating app that matches you with orphans to overcome this issue

Fixed it

Listening to Dr Janega’s podcast how a guy from China who was actually a Nestorian Christian, traveled to Europe and got to meet the Pope, Eastern Roman Emperor, Holy Roman Emperor, King of France before heading home.

Or how Ibn Battuta travelled from Morroco all the way to China via the Maldives. Or famously Mansa Musa travelled from Mali to Mecca causing a financial crisis from giving away too much gold.

Vikings travelled all the way to Constantinople to fight in the Varangian guard. Like people travelled. Non white people would be uncommon but they’d be there especially in bigger cities.
