    hes using the name "Dihydrogen Monoxide" which is the scientific term for water, and hes trying to say "water" is a killer,
    it's not. it's nerd joke.

    well, technically it is a killer, yes, but not the way hes representing it.

    No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"
    https://i.imgur.com/TPscgS9.jpg to see major features of the last few years compared.
    https://i.imgur.com/X8qY0gP.jpg to see a detailed comparison of this year's Q1 to the last two Q1s.
    https://i.imgur.com/4z71cK8.jpg to see a detailed comparison of each years' first two quarters combined.
    https://i.imgur.com/jrHe5h8.jpg to see a projected comparison of the full years and what 2019's Q4 will need to catch up.
    Unsubbed January 15th, 2019 due to the lack of any new substantial features shown to be coming in 2019.

    "I know how to keep a low profile."

    Riiiiiiiiiight; 'cause nothin' says "low profile" more than slaughtering half of Balmora.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    Did you know, that the game lies to you, when it says you can play the game however you wish? Well, that is, assuming you want to do anything beyond overland stuff and the occasional normal dungeon.

    And did you also know, that if you willingly try to forego anything beyond the overland and normal difficulty activities and just not care about anything other than your own enjoyment, you will probably live and die a lot happier, without having to worry about doing things and be "The Best" at it? I'm slowly getting there, but... You know, baby steps.

    you can play as you want, just there will be consequences and don't expect people to let you do so and carry you.

    Part of my "Play as I desire" program is to not give a lickle of respect to people in dungeons. Not be rude towards them, but not show a single care to them if they think "How dare you not play according to the meta for a DPS!"

    Though to my fortune, I've started wanting to play tanks, as I'm probably gonna find it more enjoyable than have to stress over mechanics and doing super duper DPS.

    According to googlethe earth is 4,543 × 10^9 Years old. Those are about 2.5071908 x 10^17 seconds. (Assuming 356 days in a year, 24 hours in a day and 3600 seconds in a hour)
    When we multiply that with the acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 we get to a velocity of 2.4595542 x 10^18 m/s or 8.85439512 x 10^18 km/h.

    This exceeds the speed of light. Time dilation explains why history keeps repeating itself.:wink:
