Awful idea for games with a lot of leading screens, such as Skyrim.

Total War Warhammer is arguably unplayable on HDD.

They are part of NATO now, so they’re safe

Joining an instance that has defederated from them should alleviate that problem.

The matrix admin group or a different one?

You can block Instances that like those, or switch to and instance where the admins do it on an instance level.

When all you can see outside the window is the pitch black forest and the moon over the looming mountains in the valley, and your dad start telling you tales of dangerous troll lurking in the forest, The Hall of Mountain King got a different mood over it. Especially when your father is telling you that as the music is reaching its prestissimo finale the troll in the tale is running towards your house lol.

Especially with pictures like this on the wall

Savatage fucking rules too though, and I just remembered Rainbow also has a song by that title too which also rules!

Any metal band that want to draw inspiration from the nordics outside of norse mythology are bound to stumble upon Grieg and Ibsen so that checks out.

The Water Sprite (Nøkken in Norwegian) by Theodor Kittelsen

He was one of the most popular artists in Norway due to his illustrations of Norwegian fairy tales and legends.

Some of his other works includes:

Pesta (personification of the black death)

And The Forest Troll

I’m speaking about nordic folklore, so Edvard Grieg. I’m not sure the metal music could ever scare the same way Grieg’s symphony did back then.

That brings me back memories of when is was ~5 years old and visiting my father’s cabin in the forest, which had a copy of that painting on the wall. He would put hall of the mountain king on full blast and tell troll stories just to scare me from time to time.

Nøkken was scarier though, kept me from going down to lake alone after dark, which I guess was the original intention of that creature.

What?

I was mostly referring to the search bar and I’ve seen multiple people report Microsoft updates reverting settings.

The fact Microsoft keeps re-enabling features users are disabling isn’t something to just ignore. Imagine if they were the silently turn on a feature like Recall.

the point is that you had to go out of your way to make brown bears sound more dangerous in order to try to get the W with that final paragraph you wrote there.

I went out of my way to point out that bears are the friendly teddy bears you see on TV. Tourist Mauled by Brown Bear After Disastrous Attempt at Selfie (the woman woman was in a car and got away with help of her friend thankfully). A lot of people have distorted view of safety when it comes to approaching wildlife, be it a bear, bison or whatever.

you just said that a majority of women are not of a healthy state of mind and you got to that conclusion by dramatizing the danger of the other option in the scenario.

You’re putting words into my mouth, I never said that. I hand to heart believe that every person commenting on this post would choose a man over a brown bear if they actually had to go through it. Saying you’d choose the bear is obviously the “correct” answer so be in the cool group on the Internet as it got meme value, so I genuinely think people are either joking or fooling themselves. If someone called you and said there have been spotted 10 bears in your neighbourhood, you’d look your door and pray they don’t come knocking.

If you forced people to go through the experience irl, someone with a trauma might panic when forced to choose (i.e. not in a healthy state of mind) and choose the statistically far more dangerous option.

I’m being serious here. this was the first time I had ever heard of brown bears referred to not just as apex predators, but as THE apex predator on land. that’s a high bar.

I have heard of polar bears as AN Apex predator

Polar bears are marine animals so their competition is a bit different.

I tried to look for a reputable source where brown bears were discussed as THE APRX PREDATOR ON LAND and I was unable to find one.

It’s the largest land predator in the world, I meant nothing deeper than the fact they are one of the most dangerous animals a human can encounter on land. You’re also moving the goal post, your original comment claimed brown bears weren’t an apex predator at all, which is objectively wrong.

An apex predator, also known as a top predator, is a predator at the top of a food chain, without natural predators of its own.

It’s the world’s largest land predator and it has no natural predator of its own? Of all the arguments to pick this really isn’t one of them.

And it’s all besides the point. There is absolutely nobody in a healthy state of mind that would prefer a close encounter with a brown bear rather than a (most likely friendly) weak hairless ape.

Less Disney movies and more courses in statistics would help a lot of people it seems. Brown bears are the apex predator on land. If you’re unlucky and the bear that spawns next to you is hungry, you’re going to be mauled and eaten alive, and there’s nothing you can do about it. If an angry Mike Tyson was going after you in the woods, at least you have slight chance of running away.

Tell your parents to set mpv to loop a video and see how it goes

It runs better, but VLC is much more user friendly

The worse parts of the Scandinavian genetics no doubt (no bias)

Curious on how they separate between Norway and “Sweden & Denmark”. Seems like an odd grouping as arguably Norway have closer ties to both Sweden and Denmark than they do together.
