hey, remember this post? well, i thought it was kind of a fun idea and that it would make a cute gift for my greek professor who has been really fantastic to me this semester, so here y’all go: The Very Angry Achilles. you can read the rest under the cut!
This Kotaku article chronicles how fans of Crusader Kings II – an incredibly interesting and complex medieval political simulator – managed to find an exploit in the game that allows players to create a dynasty of horses. Like, giddy-up-giddy-up-let’s-go horses.
Long story short: the devs, as a joke, inserted a horse councillor into the game who can’t do basically anything. Unless you nominate him to be bishop, and find a way to kill off the current bishop. Once the horse takes control of the church, they magically become able to get married and create heirs.
Long story even shorter: One player managed to restore the Roman Empire using nothing but horses.
In case you’re late to the party, catch up on Episode One and Episode Two of the Rude Galacticals.
I have to say, when I was “casting” this production, I had no idea who Han should play until I realized I had a Han Solo in carbonite action figure. Yes, I really am that cool.
16th century #cat running about with some guy’s penis
And there is a bargain going on
well you know the old saying:
“when a cat steals your penis you’re wise to have a fish at hand”
I have never heard this saying.
The text at the bottom says “Flaisch macht flaisch” I’m going to guess “flaisch” is an old way of saying “fleisch” which is meat (flesh). I have no idea what “flesh macht flesh” is supposed to mean.
afaik it means literally “meat makes meat” but in this context implies a trade of meat for meat. 😉
the person is trying to trade the cat a fish to get the penis back.
RIBALDRY
I am going to ask a silly question. How did he lose his penis to a cat?
**sighhh** it might help ppl to see the full illustration. this is why i hate when art history blogs don’t link back.
She is bribing the cat with a fish to get the penis in exchange. The Rijksmuseum text reads (loosely): “Nun runs with fish in hand chasing a cat, she wants to exchange the fish with a penis that has the cat in its mouth. A jester is watching through a window frame.”
I hope this helps people understand the situation being depicted.
I love my major…
Is this that Neko Atsume game I keep hearing about
yes
Some noble, gesturing to Nobby: I have made a King!
Vimes: You fucked up a perfectly good gua–nope, couldn’t keep a straight face.
i went to look at this thing on the autism speaks website and it makes you fill out all this information to read the document
also “relationship to autism” “touched by autism”
what the fuck
*touches u with my autism*
[image: a dropdown menu on autism speaks’ website that asks what your “relationship to autism” is. options include “my friend’s family is touched by autism.” end of description]
one time in class we were watching a video about autism and it used the phrase “touched by autism”
my partner and i immediately turned to each other and started rubbing our hands all over each other’s faces and saying “u have been touched by autism”
