The funny thing is: it literally fucking says that xD

Not really on more modern games. Pascal was for example completely broken for Alan Wake 2 because of mesh shaders. Pascal had a good run and was relevant for 8 years, which is pretty much unprecedented for GPUs, but one has to let go.

Ah, you never played Crusader Kings.

The historical reason for cousin marriage were generally to cement alliances between relatives and to keep land in the family should the male line of some house die out, those aren’t the reason you marry relatives CK3.

In CK3 you marry relatives because you want your children to be herculean beautiful geniuses and to stop your daughters weak claim from becoming a problem.

I generally don’t really like such list articles as they are mostly sensationalist and cheap, this being the perfect example of one. In the case of CK we are not talking about inbreeding in the Egyptian dynasties (which had religious rather than practical reasons). Hawai’i seems similar though I know to little about their nobility to judge. The section they have about Roman inbreeding was honestly just terrible and completely divorced from reality. I am not aware of any marriage between siblings among European nobility (between like 600-now) (other than Jean V of Armagnac that I just found on Wikipedia and which upon first read sounds like an extreme exception). Could you name another one?

Yes, but these were all through first cousin marriages which were only legal if the Pope gave permission. What most CK3 players do is marry their kids so they don’t lose shit-tons of land because of the stupid partition system they are using.

I didn’t claim that Gandalf spoke Quenya as his mother tongue, merely that the concept of second languages doesn’t really make sense when talking about immortal gods.

Secondly, are you an American by any chance?

Gandalf participated in the Ainulindalë as a Maiar. Just because he wasn’t on Middle Earth doesn’t mean he couldn’t speak (i.e. understand and communicate in) Elvish (in this case Quenya).

Gandalf spoke Elvish before the Elves were around.

The smaller one has a bigger bed 🤦

Just turn it back on again. It’s an IBM ThinkPad it’ll be fine

They trained him wrong, on purpose, as a joke.

Traditie!!!

Which is especially funny considering they where the England analogy (Yes, I know Talkien hated having his works analyzed this way)

One just has to look at the destruction predicted to occur from area bombing pre-WW2 and the damage that actually occured

Why, oh cruel world, why?!

I got two push-notifications from both the BBC and “Der Standard” (Austrian paper) despite not being especially interested in F1. I think it’s something with cars, right?

1983 was a uniquely American event. Japan and Europe were unaffected, and as no Japanese consoles had any success in the US at the time they wouldn’t have aimed for an American release anyway, while Europe only bought computers.

I mean one can argue that since nobody could foresee that security wouldn’t be there for the flight nobody could plan around it.
