    show a map of the land area it takes up and you might actuality convince some people it’s not lol.

    it could be like milk lovers trying to call almond milk bad for the environment due to water usage. despite cow milk being infinitely worse. the propaganda machine did its job well. if you bring up non dairy milks to an American conservative in 2025, nine times out of ten they’ll feel the need to smugly tell you how terrible almond milk is and how we shouldn’t be allowed to waste all that water on it. if you try to tell them that cow milk is worse they’ll just tell you you’re wrong and that the data is lying.

    i straight to showed one of them the hard numbers on how much cows are putting out greenhouse gasses and she just said “that can’t be right”. it didn’t FEEL right to her so she just didn’t believe it…

    if you wrap a burger in foil it’ll keep in the fridge as long as there’s no veggies.

    put that whole thing in the oven for like 15 minutes on like 300 and it’ll come out nice with a bun that has a pleseant, light crunch on on the outside.

    thicker burgers might be harder, i usually do this with smash burgers. just, for the love of God, add the veggies after reheating. please.




  • anyone who has read the books was likely surprised that ciri wasn’t the main character of any of the games when they first started coming out :::especially since geralt dies at the end of the books :::

    ciri was more the mc than geralt for most of the books. she’s the child of destiny. she’s the young character that grows up as we follow their journey. she’s the one that finds herself and shows major character development throughout the books. the only character development geralt goes through is accepting his bond with ciri.

    the first two games never mentioning ciri was outright bizarre tbh. only even remotely possibly because geralt lost his memory. like, with where geralt as at by the end of the books the only thing you could possibly expect him to do on regaining his memory is frantically search for signs of his adopted daughter

    to a longtime book reader my reaction to ciri being the protag of the next game was “FINALLY”

    my only curiosity at this point is how much she’ll be like book ciri. does she know magic? in the books ciri goes to sorceress school and then gets trained in primal magic by unicorns and immortal space elves. can you fuck a horse? that was one of the more… questionable scenes in the book.

    tangent: sapkowski’s politics occasionally bleed through in weird ways in the books. like three’s a scene where a woman finds out she’s pregnant mid way through a literal war that our band wades through on their journey to save the world. the party basically needs the woman to proceed. she does not want the child. i believe it was the product of rape. yet for some reason geralt and a literal fucking vampire convince her that abortion is wrong and she should keep it instead of drinking a potion about it. it was so randomly out of character for everyone involved. but hey, that’s catholics for you i guess… /tangent

    i think they generally said that ciri lost her elder blood powers after the king of the hunt was killed right? otherwise I’m gonna be really curious how handle that as well. she should be sort of the world’s greatest sorceress otherwise. ooh, i wonder if she’ll make quips about cyberpunk and/or other worlds she’s traveled to. like, she spent Decent bit of time in Arthurian legend. she shows up briefly in Victorian London.

    also, what will the world at large look like? they can’t do it like the last time where your previous save could alter the new game based on your decisions. you were simply able to do too much. they’d need to make like 3 entirely separate stories at the very least. like, who rules the north? are you the empress of nilfguard? is the church burning all the nonhumans at record pace? you can basically decide the entire fate of the northern realms and all of its people in multiple ways… unless it just takes place elsewhere. maybe we’ll be in zerrikania this time or some shit. there are many distant lands that the games never take us. it would be much more doable that way. then you’d just have to change dialogue and maybe swap out a few characters.

    aaaanyway… yeah, anyone mad about her being the mc is a dumbass that doesn’t know shit about the story.
