Honestly, all of the origins storylines are very much worth playing as well. Actually playing as the character adds a lot of depth to the quest lines.

She was staunchly pro-Heard, which in and of itself isn't a problem. However, she lied about reaching out to pro-Depp commentators (some of whom were lawyers) for comments for a piece she wrote, and the article was then stealth-edited after she got called out by several commentators.

Together with her later insistence that she did not share a meme calling Biden a war criminal, only to later admit to doing exactly that, I don't find her reporting particularly trustworthy. I try to verify her facts from other sources, and I mostly avoid her opinion pieces.

She's been caught in some stealth edits and other unethical practises when trying to push a specific narrative. I don't trust her reporting very much after following her work during the Depp-Heard trial in '22. It is unfortunate that her need to push her, or her publishers, agenda appears to be more important than honest reporting, and I'm saying this as a very left-leaning, queer person.

(//Edited to correct the year of the Depp-Heard trial. Covid times were strange and it all blends together.)

The Finnish word you have is also just 'shit' and in no way equivalent to 'cunt'. The word youre looking for is 'vittu', although it is usually (mis)translated as 'fuck'. The common translation is likely due to the prevalence of use of both 'fuck' and 'vittu' and their similar severity rather than meaning.

There are sports where women have reached or surpassed men's records, for example long-distance endurance races or some accuracy-based competitions. Anything where raw explosive strength or size isn't the main deciding factor. There are examples in history where women have been banned from participating in specific sports because they have been able to win in competition with men.

I think, for the leagues you listed, size, strength and speed are often key, and as such most men have an advantage over most women. I don't doubt there could be exceptions to that rule.

It's fun enough. There are enough different types of weapons and build paths that you can have a sizeable warband without having two people exactly alike that combat feels pretty fresh even after 20 hours. Legendary weapons spice things up further if you can take down the elite enemies in each new area.

The game does have a pretty slow pace, you have to grind your way through easier bounties to get money for gear and recipes. Your troupe has to rest daily and you have to feed, heal and pay all of your mercenaries. You will also have to learn and level professions on your characters because professions give actual combat bonuses in addition to food/materials/knowledge.

I've been playing co-op with my husband and it's been fun. We got the tavern DLC for some fun alternative gameplay if combat becomes tiring. If you enjoy turn-based combat, lots of it, and fairly gritty survival difficulty, you'll find Wartales fun.

I swear I tested this a bunch, restarted the app several times, and it would not work. However, now that I started it again about 30 minutes later and tried to zoom, it works flawlessly.

I'll edit the post to let people know it's a user problem. 🤦🏼‍♀️

 

-- EDIT: Despite my attempt at testing the issue before making the post, it appears the issue was entirely me and not the app. Image zoom is working flawlessly. --

Before the most recent update, it was possible to zoom in on an image post. It was a useful feature for multi-panel comics and images with a lot of text. It appears that the fix for blurry text in images may have unwittingly broken the zoom function.

/edit: I'm using the newest update of the android app from Google Play store

Hm. I showed this to my husband, who immediately pointed out that it's an anti-tank mine and thus couldn't be foot-activated.

It took me far too long to understand the wtf-ness of this.

In Finnish, 'Jussi' (the Finnish 'J' is similar to 'Y' in English) is a common men's name. Think John or similar. It carries some connotations from classic literature to peasants, hard work, and sisu.

And "pussi" simply means a bag, specifically a simple one usually made out of paper or plastic.

The branding is supposed to invoke an idea of breakfast buns that are traditional, simple, and full of energy to carry you through your day.

Ah. Well, perhaps I ought to amend it to an average Northern European, then. There are definitely no true scorpions in the Nordics, although we probably have some tiny pseudoscorpids around somewhere. Although I've hiked all over Southern Spain and never spotted a scorpion there either.
...which probably says more about my perceptiveness or lack-there-of than anything else.

/edited for spelling

Huh. There being scorpions everywhere except the Arctic is such a wild statement to your average European. Never have I ever seen a scorpion outside a terrarium despite having traveled and hiked extensively in various countries around the continent.

Are they truly that common in the Americas, even in more temperate climates?

I would recommend soppa365.fi for your recipe needs. It compiles recipes in Finnish from several sources. You can usually find something that works with little to no adjustment.

The foraging season is in full swing in Northern Europe. I met this little buddy today while out in the forest looking for berries and mushrooms.
