Lutheran practice, mainly. (Wikipedia link) Honestly never occurred to me that there are places where this isn’t normal (though the candles aren’t usually in wreaths here, just in regular candle sticks with four candles).

I assumed op meant exclusive access in the sense of “this is mine, and nobody else is allowed to use it”.

Guild Wars 2:

Citadel of Flame dungeon
Volcanic fractal
Molten Furnace fractal
Molten Boss fractal
Probably some others I don’t remember.
(Fractals are shorter dungeons.)

Most of these read like ads. Most of the rest read like information found in an advertising profile (the kind of info that ad companies purchase). Only a couple read like actual things people care about.

Honestly, I have no idea myself. I first saw it at GDQ yesterday (or so).

Arctic Eggs kind of cooking going on here.

What finally worked for me on the image above is to look at the yellow dress on the image above on my phone, then zoom in on the part in blue light, then squint so I barely see what I’m doing and move the zoomed in section so that it only shows the party of the black and blue dress in yellow light, and then open my eyes again. Then it finally looked yellow and white.

Non-American as well, but I believe GI means “General Infantry”, but in use GI means “Army Man/Soldier” so it doesn’t really matter what the letters stand for.

Took me a second too, but it’s supposed to be a list of descriptors of the woman in the picture. A better way to form it would be “She uses drugs, but she is also a wife, a coworker, and a grandmother.” with the last three as bullet points.

Could be Guild Wars 2. There are two scythe the game (I’m not counting staff skins): Necromancer staff, which is a casting implement with mostly utility skills, and Necromancer Reaper “mode”, which gives you a ton of DPS and tankiness until you run out of your saved up life force.

I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.

Big Barotrauma vibes.

Sylvari spotted.

Lefse is a larger category. Lompe (also called “potetlefse”) is a kind of lefse. Lefse can also be made from wheat, and there are different kinds. A lot of types of lefser are also eaten as a snack rather than as part of a meal, with either a sweet paste or butter, sugar, and cinnamon on top.

I object to some of the information about the Norwegian hot dog. Firstly, lompe is not a tortilla: it’s made from potatoes. (You also roll it all the way around the sausage.) The sausages are either shorter hot dogs or wieners. They are usually eaten with ketchup, mustard, onion (raw or roasted), and usually some sort of dressing. Simple and good.

Yeah, correct guess. In the game you kill the leader of the dominant religion (based on martyrdom and sacrifice) after they have refused to take action against the corruption in their own ranks, and allowed atrocities to be committed in the name of religion. Turns out (spoilers) that the head of the religion is also corrupt. Not really subtle, is it?

By no means. Jamtland, Herjedalen, and Bohuslen can stay in the bubble, but the rest of Sweden can go and find their own bubble.

I am disappointed that we have to be in a bubble with Sweden… Other than that: good map

“In the room ahead is a spider artifact. Take it! We will need it to reach the Santieri Crystal.” Also “There is but one gift I can offer that is equal in value to an Elder Scroll and my daughter: I offer you my blood. Take it and you will walk as a lion among sheep, men will tremble at your approach, and you will never fear death again.”

I think you are taking that post the wrong way. For context every character in Star Rail falls into 3 (iirc) categories: short, medium, or tall, and every character within a category has the exact same body type, just with different accessories and textures. What that post is saying is that this is a character is in a category (medium/maiden) that does not have the exact same body as other characters in the same category, which might mean that in the future the characters will have more diverse models/body types.

That’s not to say that some people don’t get unduly angry over how their characters look, but that’s not what is happening here.
