- Comment on "Bro, CLEARLY this is a sign from the gods to build our capital in a swamp!" 17 hours ago:
IIRC, the best part is that DC is where it is specifically because it was a bribe to get the slave states on board, since previously the federal government had been based in Philadelphia. So yeah, the US doesn’t even have the excuse of divine revelation for setting up the capital in a swamp, but because somehow that was enough to appease white slavers.
- Comment on What marriage does to a guy 2 weeks ago:
Henry VIII, maybe? The man did marry an obscene number of times, and was fat in his later years.
- Comment on Call of the Sea, a cozy Lovecraft game? 4 weeks ago:
When I read the blurb for the game, I didn’t think they meant actual Lovecraft, so I was kinda surprised when Dagon and the Marshes of Innsmouth got explicitly referenced. There were a couple parts where I was expecting to get attacked by abominations, so I was quite relieved when nothing of the sort happened. All in all, I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. And it’s not a long game at all, really, so you can probably power through it in a day.
