If you're a Bible literalist, all humans are descended from Adam and Eve. If you're an evolutionist, all humans are descended from Y-Adam and mt-Eve.

Everybody is related if you go back far enough.

BUT if the trend continues in a couple decades we have a standing army of coloreds, and a white race with no practical ability to project force. This is only good if the white kids who would have gone into the military are going into militias, police, or other organized armed systems instead.

Excellent game - good, fun actiony combat from a time when that wasn't common in RPGs.

Very easy to make the game too easy, though. Avoid crafting if you want any kind of challenge.

lift != wield effectively

Nobody is saying they couldn't pick it up. It's not Mjolnir.

Imagine a prelegal society where lethal combat and inter-village marauding are constant threats.

There's a strong survival advantage for men who are able to model other people's mental states. Understanding what motivates the man who might be about to kill you will help defuse many tense situations and might give you the edge when defusing isn't possible.

There's no comparable survival advantage for women. A woman in this setting can't hope to interact with deadly men as a peer: she doesn't need to understand men, she just needs to either escape them or obey them, or she will suffer whatever consequences they choose. Seeing other people as stereotypes might in fact be an advantage: treating all scary men the same is probably safer than trying to figure them out as individuals.

I know it's the name and inspiration for this sub, but honestly, I can't imagine reading Kotaku even ironically.

"Day of Hate" was never plausible to anyone who knows that the day of hate is every day.

TL;DR: Marvel is cucked? Yeah, we've known that for a long time. "Hey guys, I just found out that dumpsters smell bad." If you're still sticking your head in dumpsters at this point that's on you

Imagine paying $70 for a 15-hour campaign of copy and paste fetch quests. The dialog and graphics issues are just shit gravy on the shit sandwich.

Racialized

If you mean "non-white", just say so clearly instead of this gibberish.

The people who are dropping dead are low body fat, highly athletic, and engaged in physically stressful activity. Politicians are typically 0 for 3 on that list.

Environmental impact

Yeah, this is my big question. Where is the hydrogen coming from and how much energy does it take to process, store, and transport it? Novel energy production tech is rarely efficient.

Rituals are by definition formally structured and repeatable. If you continue to hold gatherings like that and structure them the same way every time, they will eventually become a ritual.

Put all that money into physical gold and silver, coin it, and start denominating taxes in constitutionally valid money.

No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;

Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, and Last Epoch are all better Diablo games than anything Blizzard ever made. And FF14 and Guild Wars 2 are better MMOs. WoW's most successful move in the last ten years has been releasing classic servers that rolled back the clock on ten years of mistakes.
