As a Cousland player I love to loathe Loghain and Howe. I thought Corypheus in DAI was almost boring after you get to Skyhold. Veilguard's elven gods were probably my favourite for non-Couslands.

Across all of the games it's easily over 21. 6 origins backgrounds, some played less than others, but have done on several occasions over the years, 3-4 Hawkes, at least 6 different Inquisitors, and all of the Veilguard backgrounds once. Tbf Origins could probably hit the 21 toons marks by itself 😂

Davrin. I love my Alistair and Fenris, and I think their kissing would become awesome, but Davrin comes across as confident, competent and capable from the word go.

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid. They will use 73GW of electricity. The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW. They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined. And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.

Neither. There would have been no reason for her to be at the conclave so being Inq would make no sense. And she's not involved in the area of VG so again it doesnt make sense as protagonist. It wouldve been cool to see her involved as Q of F/warden in Inquisition but an insert into VG is hard

Worst we’ve known’: UK turns to imports as drought and heat hit vegetable crops. Food insecurity and higher prices would follow. Poor hit the hardest. Despite warnings, no plan for water shortages. Need reservoirs, water storage, better water management. Companies can't do national planning.

Huh. I recall nt long ago a newly elected MP questioned the boozing in parliament & triggered a spectacular multi-week meltdown by the nation's most sensible Sensibles chin stroking & pontificating abt why the corridors of Westminster overflowing with booze ws nt only good bt virtually a natural law
“Participants described alcohol as being available throughout the working day, frequently provided for free, and often intertwined with career advancement.”

Twenty-four MPs, 58 Westminster staff and 108 constituency office personnel shared their experiences and views. One MP, describing how readily available alcohol was at Westminster, said: “Going to a meeting at noon and alcohol’s available. Of course, I’m not used to that in my old job.”

The free alcohol at events on the parliamentary estate, which organisations arrange to help them lobby MPs, emerged as a particular issue.

Another MP said: “Where else in a work environment would you go, unless it was the works Christmas do, and there was free alcohol there for you? It just wouldn’t happen in real life.”

A third said: “You can start drinking here from 12 o’clock onwards and go around and consume large amounts of alcohol, and it’s relatively freely available.”

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Memories of a happier time when puppy Maia liked to wade on the beach before her best pal did his ACL in. Lycan loved the water. Maia preferred chasing him on the beach. She was the boss even though she was the puppy. One day when the heartache has eased I'll find another malamute to boss me around.

The country has been damaged due to lies and misinformation, spread by media (hence the need for media reform) but mostly by politicians and right wing pundits.

Bees are disappearing, and our food supply is beginning to collapse. Plants and animals are vanishing, and life is becoming a desert plain. But if humans were to disappear, nature would slowly heal. Rivers would flow more cleanly, forests would grow again, and wildlife would reclaim the Earth.
