Also I'm kind of angry at the game for trying to force such a major decision on me so early on, especially since the people who want me to join their army made a racist remark and then ordered my execution despite the fact I didn't do anything wrong. Fursecution god damnit. So I'm going to spend the next however long just delaying the need to pick a side. I need to learn more before I'm comfortable making such a big decision. Also, the whole "follow the NPC" thing comes off as cheap. How do I know the NPC will make good decisions? I want to make a game where someone tells you to follow them, and if you do, they get you killed, so the lesson is not to make panicked decisions and to follow your own instincts rather than someone elses.

The Imperials are an oppressive fascist regime but at least they want to keep order and preserve Skyrim. They're also "the man" so it makes sense to rebel against them. And as badass as joining a rebel army sounds, the Stormcloaks are white supremacists, religious fanatics, and pretty much outright terrorists...

Honestly as an Argonian I want no part of this, but it would make more sense to eventually join the Imperials. For now I'm operating under my own morals, I don't want to decide yet. It's like the game is saying HITLER OR STALIN. PICK A SIDE NOW! Or actually I see it as a black man fighting in the American Civil War possibly. The North might have just as many racists but why the fuck would I side with the Confederacy?

But this is serious Milo!

I'm a Khajiit, obv. Seriously, my first impression of the imperials was being told "your race is a filthy lot of troublemakers. I'd rather kill you than deal with you, even though there's no evidence of guilt". Fuck that.

I... just went on a scorched earth campaign against both factions, because they both suck and deserve extermination.

Also, the Thalmor. I loved killing every one of them I found.

I'm suffering from severe boredom.

I hate Microsoft so much right now.

yeah, this is really the only agenda I think I can get behind. They're at the root of Skyrim being fucked up. Even if it's playing out in terms of the other factions, they're the ones that set the initial conditions necessary for all this shit to go down.

Protip:
Killing mages = fastest and best source of money in the game imo (at least at low levels)
Their robes weigh almost nothing and are somewhat valuable, and they come in large numbers so it's a serious source of income when you add it all up.
I strip naked every one I find
I'm probably stating the obvious here and you all knew that already.

I'm not sure Nord nationalists can really be compared to our white supremacists. They seem to be obsessed with "kind", not color, just like every other hateful creature in this crapsack world. Of course since you're a Borned Again Dragmas, you could let it go to your head and be the worst of all, though admittedly it's a bit harder than in Fallout where there's no shoulder mounted nukes and "destroy entire fucking town/base" buttons.

So, apparently my mother is supposed to be on this episode of Pitchin' In. It is about scallop farming on the Island here and she works (mostly) as a shucker I think. I kinda want to see her on it.

She got to meet Chef Crawford. That is cool. I like seeing her on Restaurant Makeover.

Throw those hooves right over my shoulders, 'cause I seen the way you look at me, doe-friend, when you smoulder. Come here, queer deer, and shake that thing around, 'cause you get me so hot that I gotta go down.

This is way too awesome.

aw. My mom wasn't on it. I thought she was going to be. It was a nice episode anyway.

I hate gay club culture an acceptable target like immaturity or superficiality.

Because there's never any songs about straight people having meaningless sex, partying, objectifying women, and abusing your own body

edit: FUCK that guy has an annoying voice

she's one of those people who'll defend transgenders since she is one, but then go around and talk about how horrible gay people are.

gay people make the biggest misogynists, and trans people make the biggest homophobes

I was going to buy Ágætis byrjun, Takk, and Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust when I got the chance. I mean who can go wrong with Viðrar vel til loftárása and Með blóðnasir. like, the two of the greatest.



oh right, I forgot I'm in a forum of people who have no idea what any of that is
