So the Sapir-Worph Hypothesis is bunk? That's a shame.

Are you sure that it's a bad thing that people can't have their ideas and thoughts shaped by the language they speak?

Juan and his friend Carlos are visiting the house of Carlos's business partner named Jack O'Gramme, who is a famous manufacturer of metric-system measuring equipment. Carlos is conducting a meeting in the parlor and Juan is leaning against the wall outside. Suddenly, Juan hears a loud "thump" from inside the parlor, followed by the shattering of glass.

Rushing into the room, Juan sees Carlos lying on the floor, a set of weights near his head. A window is horrendously shattered, and Jack is nowhere to be seen. Juan rushes over to Carlos to see if he's alive. It's a gruesome sight; a heavy-looking black cylinder marked "1kg" is covered in blood, and Carlos's head is visibly dented.

Juan says, "Carlos! Carlos, are you OK?!"

Carlos, miraculously having a bit of life left in him, responds, very groggily, "Carlos... the deal went bad... he got me good..."

A moment passes. "I don't have much... time left... I need you to do one thing for me... after I'm gone..."

Juan, on the verge of tears, says "Wh... what is it, Carlos?"

Carlos coughs a little, and says back,

I'd argue that to continue your dynasty, you must be willing to die nasty.

^True facts. Sometimes you've got a good heir and just gotta let yourself be assassinated for the betterment of the dynasty.

Depressed is arguably the most overpowered trait in the game, simply because it lets you choose when your character dies and your heir inherits. Arguably the best usage of it is to tyrannically organize the realm via title revocation and vassal retraction, then off yourself. Your heir ends up with a decently large opinion malus for three years due to the metaphorical bad taste the last ruler left in his vassals' mouths, but that fades pretty quickly and the net effect is a much more stable and neatly organized country.

Dear Future Tawa,

Hi, me! I'm sure you've matured a lot since today.

How have your ambitions changed? Do you still want to be a chemist?

How about coding; have you learned at least C yet, like I've always wanted to?

What's the big thing nowadays? Half-Life 3 confirmed yet? Does the internet still have a collective boner over that game? You know the one.

Did Bernie win? I can only hope. Please at least tell me it wasn't Donald "I'm starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country" Trump.

You finish those games you've been meaning to? What about your forum games? Bay12 Courtroom still running? Give up on any more D&D games?

Have you heard from her again yet? If she hasn't, it's OK. Don't stress over it.

Facial hair growth coming along well? That mustache I've always dreamed of is right around the corner, I can feel it.

Oh, and how's that e-peen? I currently have 137 days, 23 hours and 46 minutes of log-on time and 14566 posts (14567 after I post this one. )

I hope you're not in an .

Sincerely, Past Tawa

- Thanks, younger me!

- Yep! Chemistry for life!

- Nope.

- Nope, nope.

- I'm not sure what to tell you.

- The problem is now getting the games of the ground, heh.

- It's complicated... :c

- Haha, you and your idea that I'd look good in a mustache

- Ah, the days of my e-peen obsession...

- That joke makes no sense, younger me, but I think you realized that.

Actually, you're supposed to provide links. Oftentimes, the humor comes from the context not being immediately apparent, then finding out the context of the strange statement.

Just got the game yesterday, started on it today. I'm trying to play as Castile in the 1444 start, but every time I declare war on Granada they call in their Ottoman Moroccan doomstack friends and wipe the floor with me. I've restarted a few times because I'm sure I've missed something stupidly fundamental.

Simply put, how do I beat the Granadans?

Pursuit ~ Cornered from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Basically all of the equivalent themes in the other games are just as good, if not better, but this is the classic one.

We Are Norse from the Crusader Kings 2 "Hymns of the Old Gods" expansion.

Engage the Enemy from Xenoblade Chronicles.

Bearer of Hope from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Plays in every defense mission of the game, including the dreaded Act III Chapter 13.
