I guess I didn't realize how influential China was in Pakistan - until BBC pointed it out.

Guess it makes sense, given their common rival. Pakistani military is not negligent . . .

China has leagues of influence all over the world right now, particularly in Asia and Africa. They are very busy investing into countries, and more importantly putting them in debt to China.

Don’t resist the punnery, man.

I mean, there was that Swedish dude who caused an uproar and had the goddamn mayor come out and yell at him to repaint his house, because he painted the outside in this shifting spectrum "sunset" color scheme.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Complaints from the homeowners association included "They're just not Swedish colors!".


EDIT: Thank you, Alexa.

First of all, Sweden does not have mayors

Second of all

We don't live in fucking orange juices okay

We just don't

Are you going to tell.me you don't suckle on narwhals for nutrition?

hey, narmilk isn't a kind of juice. And it's blue, not orange!

A-are you Luke Skywalker?

I kinda stopped paying attention to the story when the guy who sorted out Raiden and his artificial body and blood was all “HER TITS ARE REAL MAN” when he saw one of the female baddies.

Eh?

It... they’re building it just to build it..? ‘cause I’m not sure how a new buding without any history or apparent reason behind it (beyond “we also built next door”) can be a “cultural and social landmark”.

I do like how they’re letting school kids come and see it. Here kids, learn... uh... just learn, okay?

In saying that, maybe it’s just a megaproject... Norman Foster confirmed as Urist?

London's city planners building a monumental dildo inside the lunchbox

Also in other news Theresa May is somehow still in power

I have literally been expecting since last Thursday to wake up to news she’s been ousted.

I guess I’m enjoying/horrified by all the political posturing by the various stripes of cowardly Tory and overconfident Labour until it happens.

... I mean, it’s going to happen, right? Right..?

Head of religion also nets you a monthly prestige and piety bonus for controlling a religion (2 and 1 respectively, I think)

Also the blood sacrifice thing is pretty cool, if only in my mind. You get 30 piety for winning the blood olympics, and the mass sacrifice thing gets you morale bonuses for your army but also penalties for your provinces for 10 years (or 5 or 20, I wasn’t paying that much attention) depending on how harsh you do it (the three choices hitting either your capital demesne, all your demesne, or all the demesnes held by you and your vassals)

I’m also thinking you get a bloodline unlocked for doing it a lot, but I’m not sure.

You can absolutely search by trait. It's how I find my children genius people to betroth them to. What, do you think I hunted down that genius welsh woman by hand? When I was the Byzantine Emperor? Far from it.

+1

Though I don’t like the Byzantines.

Reformed the African faith. Bloodthirsty warmongering. Fun times.

Also got myself a bloodline, and discovered a “bloodline of the survivor” which ironically died out pretty much immediately.

Unfortunately the Abassids have all of North Africa as well as all of the Middle East and most of Persia. Holy shit. Though I did take advantage of that when I took one of the holy sites to reform my faith.

Carpathia also has a great deal of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Brittania and bits of the various Francia empires.

So the warrior lodges are a bit OP. Had one guy have 41 martial. Also had a one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed, disfigured dude still have enough personal combat skill to win duels. Interestingly I think only one of those injuries was self-inflicted... he also developed leprosy in later life, though I’m not sure anyone would have noticed.
