Perfect, if your playlist doesn't give you severe whiplash every few minutes you're not doing it right.

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?

That's a good idea, saving this image for later. Thanks!

This is something I've been putting off. My world is post-apocalyptic. Originally, it was set so long after the apocalypse that the languages had changed to something completely different, but I've sinced changed it to <1000 years after the apocalypse, so I now have to come up with variations of modern names that are still somewhat recognisable but changed in some way.

I have no idea how to go about this, so I just... haven't named any of the people in my world. I really should get around to this.

I mean, EVE hasn't gone anywhere, it still has a large and active playerbase, there's nothing stopping you from joining now.

Or that castle sieges were much more boring than made to seem and would last months

Huh, what media are you talking about? Might just be the generes I enjoy but I've never seen anything suggest that castle sieges didn't last ages. Wouldn't that kinda go against the point of a siege?

I can barely see it if I look forward. If I look down though it takes up the entire side edge of my vision.

Something kinda in the same vein, in the book series Red Rising, hanging people on Mars is ineffective because of the low gravity (not enough force to snap the neck), so someone has to go up and pull on the legs of the executed person to kill them.

I like how most of this is fairly reasonable, then right at the end out of nowhere it's just a jetpack.

Also any idea what "welded" boots means?

What's the barrel diameter on that?

Good point, I didn't think about the smoke at all. I don't think dwarves generally have innate breathing protection, so that would be an issue.

I feel like I should clarify that this isn't part of a project of mine, I just had this idea for a generic fantasy world (I guess maybe something Forgotten Realms/ D&D esque) and wanted to put it out there, so I've got no other lore surrounding it about dwarven structures or breathing or darkvision, etc.

That said, I feel like dwarven structures are usually very well lit, so they wouldn't be fighting in dim light much. And I think darkvision seems to be unaffected by bright flashes and stuff- they don't seem to be negatively affected by fireballs or whatnot.

Yeah I just added that because dwarves = axes I guess. A normal bayonet would be much more practical.
