In a season where Ekko berated Jayce, and Jayce berated Mel, the one councilman to escape any critique and consequence was Heimerdinger of all people.
The same Heimerdinger that told Viktor his mending unnatural death caused by the pollution Piltover created during his 200 year stint as Chief of Piltover's council was natural and that nothing could be done, was practically vindicated by the plot. He was never admonished by the Firelights or the Zaunite refugees that stayed with them. No Zaunite ever had a problem with Heimerdinger ever, including Jinx, who has a new voice line where she's super friendly with him.
Even Heimerdinger's "death" isn't a real consequence because Yordles don't die when they're killed, they just respawn in Bandle City!
#arcane#arcane ramble#heimerdinger#it was already weird to see ekko solely blame jayce for the tree's corruption since other parties were involved#including heimerdinger#but then the whole jayce mel argument thing happened and it feels like everyone's stuck on a loop to justify it or not#when it looks like the show and the fandom is missing the forest for the trees#as they keep on focusing on players whose roles were relatively small in the grand scheme of things as Heimerdinger's been#a part of the problem from the very start#and it's been so annoying bcuz i literally saw someone blame Mel for Viktor's disease and i was like ?????????#i don't think she was even in Piltover by that time#but you know who was around in charge of the council when Viktor was sickened by the Grey as a child? Heimerdinger!#who was on the council during the Day of Ash where Vi and Jinx’s arents git killed? Heimerdinger!#what's not clocking?!???!?#i wasn't sad when heimerdinger “died”. i was just annoyed Viktor didn’t get to kill him

Very curious if there were hardcore dragon age fans on the community council that didn’t have larger social media followings 🤔 like genuinely
#they said there were new players to dragon age on the council#but every time they refer to someone else in the fandom who was with them#it always ended up being someone with an established following and I’m like :/#hopefully that’s just a coincidence???#dragon age#datv

Happy 2e Kingmaker GMing Saturday I think one of my players forgot Tristian is canonically a man
#unprompted they/theming tristian. sir??#I'm happy with this outcome but it's funny to me I don't actually know where this is coming from#I don't think I'd been doing that with this group pre-hiatus (out of cowardice and laziness)#rambling#I've been listening to the players debate the kingdom setup for the past hour. tristian is. still their treasurer. for the record.#they're trying to add svetlana to their advisor council

its one thing for the league to continue to allow zverev to play despite criminal charges. they can make their flimsy excuses and sweep it under the rug. that’s what sports leagues always do. but he’s on the atp players council which means players voted for him. its a council elected by his peers (in this particular case, top 50 ranked singles players). so we already know that players are pushovers who don’t discuss him when asked in interviews and never distance themselves from him but this confirms that these guys literally do not care about abuse. don’t get too parasocial folks.
#atp just published article about it so now im all mad about it all over again#and hes been on the council since last year but guess what andrey was just elected onto it.#tennis#i will try not to be a total doomer there are undoubtedly players who hate his ass#on a light note it amuses me that one of the categories for players council reps is ‘at large’#like yeah we dont know what hes doing here either#(<- thats not zverev hes in the top 50 singles category like i said. that category is munar and ebden)

Recent game related things .. hrmm...
#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff#so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the#actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically#like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common#language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0#actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other#art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks#with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky#if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i#you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby#or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning#'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real#Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere#around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an#independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed#upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and#political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild#country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area#border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change#or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area#feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that#handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever#ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background#of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day#have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T#As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

September: Okay, first I'd like to introduce our newest Revolutionary, the Director of the Railway, and I'd like to thank them for their generous gift of two echos, which they handed me outside this morning. Not necessary, but much appreciated.
January: Why'd you give him two dollars?
The Director: I thought he was homeless

chris avellone really likes making the actions necessitated by gameplay an aspect OF the player character, and i love that
#Shitpost#its here in fnv lonesome road with Ulysses saying we couldve turned back but he knew he wouldnt#ie. A player is going to complete the quest and dlc. And the character will do so as well as a courier#and this is also present in kotor2 ESPECIALLY the jedi council scene when they talk about. Literally how you gained expierence#for the whole game#its fun. Definitely smaller here vs how its a thesis in all of kotor2#since avellone was only lead on some of these dlc#BUT. its here. Its his touch.#and yeah hes pretentious and sort of shitty but i love his writing so. I dont care lol.

me, in a video game: *chooses the bad option* NPCs: good god! how can you say that? you don't mean that! me, who's been consistently choosing these options since the start of the game: -_-
#you're so kind and heroic my 4th victim tells me as they lay dying#i'm thinking of you end of mass effect when my renegade told udina that she killed the council on purpose to get them out of the way#and anderson literally says good god shepard how can you say that#to a shepard that publicly supports terra firma and is constantly vaguely antialien and was nothing but bitchy to the council#shout out to udina though for not being surprised at all#another one is in the walking dead telltalle if clementine supports kenny's rights to randomly beat people the fuck up#everyone is shocked and tells her she doesn't mean it#god the absolute BEST scene i ever had in twd telltale though#if you support kenny throughout and then don't in the last scene when he's beating that kid up he will accidentally hit you#as he's trying to hit the other kid he just accidentally gets clem cause she's running toward him to stop him#and he looks at her with the coldest anger and goes “What? Lost your taste for this kinda thing?”#i got CHILLS#anyway challenge: tell me you don't expect players to pick this dialogue option without telling me you don't expect players to pick it

"Because Richard (III) usurped the throne, his retinue is inevitably seen as inimical to the crown and therefore in an important sense independent of royal authority. In the context of Edward IV's reign, in which the retinue was created, neither assumption is true. The development of the retinue would have been impossible without royal backing and reflected, rather than negated, the king's authority. Within the north itself, Gloucester's connection subsumed that of the crown. Elsewhere, in East Anglia and in Wales, that focus for royal servants was provided by others, but Gloucester was still part of that royal connection, not remote from it. In the rest of England, as constable and admiral, he had contributed to the enforcement of royal authority. When he seized power in 1483 he did not do it from outside the prevailing political structure but from its heart."
-Rosemary Horrox, "Richard III: A Study of Service"
#richard iii#english history#my post#Richard was certainly very powerful in the north but to claim that he 'practically ruled' or was king in all but name is very misleading#his power/success/popularity were not detached from Edward IV's rule but a fundamental part/reflection/extension of Edward IV's rule#even more so that anyone else because he was Edward's own brother#there's also the 1475 clause to consider: Richard & Anne would hold their titles jointly and in descent only as long as George Neville#also had heirs. Otherwise Richard's title would revert to life interest. His power was certainly exceptional but his position wasn't as#absolute or indefinite as is often assumed. It WAS fundamentally tied to his brother's favor just like everyone else#and Richard was evidently aware of that (you could even argue that his actions in 1483 reflected his insecurity in that regard)#once again: when discussing Edward IV's reign & Richard III's subsequent usurpation it's really important to not fall prey to hindsight#for example: A.J Pollard's assumption that Edward IV had no choice but to helplessly give into his overbearing brothers' demands#and had to use all his strength to make Richard to heed to his command which fell apart after he died and Richard was unleashed#(which subsequently forms the basis of Pollard's criticism of Edward IV's reign & character along with his misinterpretation of the actions#of Edward IV's council & its main players after his death who were nowhere near as divided or hostile as Pollard assumes)#is laughably inaccurate. Edward IV was certainly indulgent and was more passive/encouraging where Richard (solely Richard) was concerned#but he was by no means unaware or insert. His backing was necessary to build up Richard's power and he was clearly involved & invested#evidenced by how he systematically depowered George of Clarence (which Clarence explicitly recognized) and empowered Richard#and in any case: to use Richard as an example to generalize assumptions of the power other magnates held during Edward IV's reign#- and to judge Edward's reign with that specific assumption in mind - is extremely misleading and objectively inaccurate#Richard's power was singular and exceptional and undoubtedly tied to the fact that he was Edward's own brother. It wasn't commonplace.#as Horrox says: apart from Richard the power enjoyed by noble associates under Edward IV was fairly analogous to the power enjoyed by#noble associates under Henry VII. and absolutely nobody claims that HE over-powered or was ruled by his nobles or subjects#the idea that Richard's usurpation was 'inevitable' and the direct result of Edward empowering him is laughable#contemporaries unanimously expected Edward V's peaceful succession. Why on earth would anyone - least of all Edward -#expect Richard to usurp his own nephew in a way that went far beyond the political norms of the time?#that was the key reason why the usurpation was possible at all#as David Horspool says: RICHARD was the 'overriding factor' of his own usurpation There's no need to minimize or outright deny his agency#as Charles Ross evidently did
