Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

That's the next level but - the jumps don't stop coming!

Welcome to Level 7!

 

So with the Xbox One announcement the Silent Hill Dog ending has been circulating the web quite a bit. Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorites, but I'd actually never seen it. I have to say, it could be the best thing ever. Especially that song over the credits...



Be warned that annoying tune will get stuck in your head.

 

Yeah, so I'm at Disney World, no big deal

 

Would I be considered souless if I said that I honestly hate Disney World?

 

Driving almost nonstop from Charleston to Orlando?

 

I didn't know there was a difference

So I suppose I've never been.

 

I haven't been to Disneyland, but Disney World is about five degrees off from a strip mall and I have no reason to think Disneyland is any different.

 

Did we really expect anything less from those two?

 

Okay, Crusader Kings 2 question.

This game is really starting to "click" with me. I'm starting to get where I'm not just guessing things, but am actually able to understand the interface and come up with strategies a bit. In my most recent playthrough, I've run into an amusing scenario. My character died at the ripe age of 69, leaving four fully grown heirs behind. Luckily, the first heir in line died of illness; I say luckily because the next heir in line was more qualified in every way. That said, my dear brothers were not pleased, and formed a faction to put one of the pretenders on the throne. I allowed it to happen, and crushed it when I did. To make an example of my brother, I executed him. I earned the "kinslayer" trait, which was sorely out of place on my character, as he had nothing but good traits (the guy was practically an angel). Years down the line and several conquests later, my other brother decides to unwisely make a move. The cycle repeats, and he finds himself in my dungeon. My question: should I just go ahead and kill the bastard, since I am and always will be kinslayer? Or, should I do the unexpected and release him? Would that move forge a strong loyalty, or would I only be setting myself up for another inevitable betrayal?

Also: Disney have all the money in the world, but they will never have anything resembling substance to impart

 

That should be helpful. Also, does each child you have decrease the chance of having another? My character is only 27, wife is only 26, but we've had 4 daughters so far. The lack of an heir is getting distressing. Would there be any point to petitioning the Pope for divorce, or would it only give about the same chance of having an heir?

And hahaha... I'm able to start an affair with the wife of the brother I executed. Oh this game. Am I able to father a bastard son and pass him off as an heir? Because that would be... good?

 

SO EXCITED CAN'T BREATHE



Warning: every spoiler, ever.

 

What's even cooler is that they slipped in scenes from the new season in the recap... including maybe Rusty's mother? (And a reappearance of Hank and Dean's pretty-sure-she's-their-mother)

 

I'm pretty sure you can legitimize him. If your succession law forbids female heirs, he should inherit. Although at age 27, you should be fine unless you really tick someone off (I once had a king last 6 months... An assassination went badly wrong).

Assuming your character is able to perform well enough, of course.

 

Timecode?

 

i have never been but theme parks in general creep me out tbh.

so, i imagine disneyworld/land would be super creepy due to the disney aspect.
