@aakashgupta Everyone in the Fellowship of the Ring is either royalty, an aristocrat, or Sam.

Game designers figured this out decades ago and it cost millions in failed launches. Will Wright built SimCity with a fully accurate traffic simulation. Testers hated it. The cars behaved realistically, which meant nobody could build a functioning city because real traffic is an unsolvable nightmare. He had to make the simulation dumber before the game became fun. The tension is permanent: the more accurately you model a system, the more it punishes the participant. Real medieval economies kept 90% of the population in subsistence farming. A historically accurate fantasy world doesn't produce heroes. It produces serfs. Tolkien solved this by making his economy deliberately vague. No one knows what a gold coin buys in Gondor. That ambiguity is a design choice, not a shortcut. The Reddit post is funny. The lesson underneath it is one of the hardest problems in simulation design: fidelity and fun are opposing forces, and you have to pick which one wins.

@zenyanna Season 5 of akotsk, episode 1: dunk and egg arrive at the iron island, look around, "nah let's not", and leave Roll credits, end of season.

ser dunk and egg visit the iron islands and it's the shortest dunk & egg tale because duncan immediately goes we need to get the hell out of here. 2 pages max

@TechSalesGuy Must be too European, I can't imagine going to work on any Sunday (for an office job) and also can't imagine being reprimanded for using my PTO allowance the way I want

my buddy had a 1-1 with his boss boss: "you've taken 3 Fridays off this quarter. people are noticing." him: "I worked every Sunday in January. did people notice that?" boss: "we did, it was end of year crunch time" him: "right, and this is recovery time." ....got 'em

I'm sorry but if you run an account dedicated to Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings content and you create and/or share AI-generated content I think you need to rethink a few things.

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state. The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

@DrAllyLouks @xgigglypuff Can't tell if this is flirting or a real institute

@xgigglypuff Are you at the Institute of Art & Olfaction? ☺️

back at perfume school!

BREAKING: Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

@RespectfulMemes Give it back @gregthesorcerer

@Okami13_ Capcom dev: Sir, we somehow accidentally tied increased performance to increased spending on DLC. Capcom executive: Go on...

Palantir responds to the response-response and misrepresents the series of events. 1. Not an hour 2. We offered the meeting, not Eliano 3. He backed out and declined, saying he wouldn't appear on camera 4. He then soft accepted after we pressed 5. We said 100% of everything would be on record 6. We covered the events on record We look forward to hearing from the media relations team that has our email in their inbox to finalize in the time window about which we inquired. We will publish all emails and correspondence with Palantir with future coverage.

Smol Hornet grants a wish!

Saw a sci-fi short where the flag of a unified humanity was a Paleolithic hand stencil and it really stuck with me, like it's not neat or heraldic, but it's the oldest mark of ourselves

Still not a fan of MTG. We all know who she is. But it is INSANE to me that she, one of trump's loudest supporters, told trump that people were threatening her son after trump publicly targeted her... ... and his response was you brought it on yourself -- all because she wanted to move forward on Epstein files, and he whined it would hurt his friends. THAT is who HE is.

@CSMFHT @JasonLegear I am afraid it is now 🫡

@Lucaemar @JasonLegear Not really what this post is about

Wait until you find out where vanilla comes from

@CSMFHT @JasonLegear That's what they use to make vanilla flavour, not the word itself 🤓

@JasonLegear No??

@mellon_heads Stylised is one thing But the story is based on, and takes place in, at a certain time in history - IMO the costumes should at the least be based off of armour/clothes from the appropriate period

I don't understand people's anger with the "historical inaccuracies" with costumes etc. It's stylized. This is a mythological legend. I have full faith in Nolan as he has 11/12 incredible movies imo What do you think of the trailer?

It's been nine years since Hollywood's greatest moment: Universal accidentally released the IMAX trailer for The Mummy with only Tom Cruise screaming.

@lermotif You mean, your most liked piece is gay porn (not this piece), or that this piece, your most liked one, is in fact gay porn?

I was proudly gonna say "wow this is my most liked art piece!" But then I remembered it's actually gay porn
