Then you ought to have someone remove him nonviolently, just to make sure he’s not a threat. Maybe send a cop up there to instruct him to get down?

Cop is threatened with a gun

Okay at that point you’d expect a radio call to go out “Person on X roof just threatened a Law Enforcement officer with a gun” which I’d consider license to fire.

Playing games in general or specific games? Because just about every game I like to play runs just fine on Linux now. The only one I ever missed was Destiny2, but then I moved on.

Nerd and proud of it

Ah, ich seh deine Verwirrung. Ich bin ein Mensch der schlecht trainiert wurde. Wichtiger Unterschied.

Schau mal, so schwer ist das gar nicht

“Wusstest du, dass Viggo Mortensen sich hier den Zeh gebrochen hat?” “Wusstest du, dass ich eigentlich gern einfach den Film sehen will?”

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob viele Leute hier eingehende Betrachtungen von Tierklöten durchgeführt haben um das überhaupt beurteilen zu können, geschweige denn bei einem Michmich auf die besagten Juwelen starren.

Gott sei Dank, ich bin schon seit zehn Minuten am Verbluten, aber dann kann ich mir den Notruf sparen. Ich telefonier doch so ungern…

I’m an Analyst. The amount of times I’ve had to tell people how their business works based on the data they had me analyse and prove their own preconceptions wrong…

“I was under the impression it should work that way”
Great! I’ll whip up a report showing just how often it doesn’t.
“Those are edge cases”
They make up about 35%
“Can we filter them from the final report?”
Then your figures will be way off and I get to justify the error when inevitably someone spots it and will blame the data for it. Fix the issue in the source, if you don’t want it screwing up your numbers.

Genichiro hopes to use the power of the Dragon’s Blood to defend Ashina against its impending doom. Isshin, though nominally head of the Ashina clan, is old and sick and generally no longer suited to lead an army. His minor outings as Tengu to hunt spies have little meaning compared to the younger Lord Genichiro acting as commander of the Ashina forces.

Family honour will prevent him from openly opposing his own son, and loyalty to the land he fought to claim will prevent him from opposing its commander. De Facto, Genichiro is the ruler of Ashina at this point, and the troops seeking to defend it follow him.

Why do the troops react with hostility? For one, he’s not one of their own forces. Any Shinobi not in their service is a potential threat, and in a time where Ministry spies are creeping in all over, it may well be better to attack on sight. Additionally, his duty to protect the Divine Heir is at odds with Lord Genichiro’s ambitions to capture and coerce Lord Kuro to grant him the aforementioned power of Immortality. And finally, Genichiro believes Wolf to be dead.

All in all, there’s no reason he would instruct his soldiers to let Wolf pass. And with each step on Wolf’s bloody path to his master, there is one more reason to consider him an enemy: Depending on the player’s route and whether they go for 100%, they’ll have killed the leader of the Reservoir forces, two Generals and one tactical asset (the ogre) in the Outskirts, then the gate guard (Gyoubu), the next tactical asset (Bull), possibly another General in the castle exterior and an elite Samurai in the Dojo, not to mention a lot of soldiers and Nightjar on his path.

And that’s before Genichiro even becomes aware he actually does still live. Obviously, fighting and killing him will have earned Wolf no brownie points either.

As the Ministry forces invade near the end - probably aided by Wolf killing all those Generals and sidetracking Lord Genichiro who now had to go search for the black Mortal Blade - the Ministry forces become a bigger threat. The dying Ashina soldiers then begging Wolf for aid is a symptom of them being understandably scared of death and scared out of their mind. At that point, whatever control of his army Genichiro may have had will have dissipated. But still, he’s an enemy both to the Ministry forces who will make no distinction between Ashina and a random Shinobi, and to the remnants of the Ashina forces, if you kill the Ministry forces in one of their battles.

Sacrificing himself to bring back an apparently much stronger version of Isshin is a last-ditch effort to rescue his land. Isshin will be bound to honour his grandson’s sacrifice by doing his best to save Ashina. And even that effort is foiled, that final sacrifice put to waste. Isshin admires Wolf’s dedication and possibly appreciates him bringing an end to this mad search for Immortality, but for Genichiro, this will have been the most bitter of defeats: to give away everything, including both his humanity and his life, and still lose.

“In the end, I was powerless to stop it.”

Which part and period of Sparta? Which social stratum? It makes a huge difference whether you’re a Spartiate, a free non-citizen or one of the 85% of society that were public slaves, subject to all sorts of violence and abuse and probably fighting for your survival so hard that there isn’t a whole lot of room for sexual self-determination or expression.

Also, that shield seems to small for hoplite.

Judas would approve

I mean, it’s a single player game, which we play to have fun. I’m not gaining any advantage over someone else by doing something the “easy” way. If someone else hates fighting the DoH and opts to cheese it, they’re not affecting me at all. If they never fight Guardian Ape without the stagger loop because they just don’t enjoy it, that’s their right and I’m not going to judge them.

Obviously, if you’re taking part in some competition (like Glitchless Speedruns), that competition is subject to rules. But for yourself? Do whatever you want.

Both Medieval Europe and Antiquity were defined by wealthy landowners and poor workers. We don’t always see a whole lot of that in the writings that have survived until our time, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t exist.

Most of the ancient sources we have were written by people with the both leisure to learn, travel around and write stuff down and the connections to have their writings be considered worth duplicating and preserving. In a word: the elites.

The issue here is that the poor and destitute didn’t exist in a vacuum just because resources were scarce. Even in bad years for the peasantry, the elites generally did fine.

These ancient sources don’t always spell that out, because it isn’t worth spelling out to them: this is just how they and their peers live. Most of these elite members owned property or the workshop and tools with which their workers labored.

By and large, they were rich. Whether that richness is defined in numbers on some net worth estimate or just in the amount of things they owned, the result is the same.

And even in Ancient Greece, the rich had to make some contributions back to the community (except for Sparta, but they’re a whole different beast of exploitation). Philanthropy has its roots there, even if it is a far cry from what we would term Philantropy today: The wealthy either voluntarily or out of obligation funded buildings, artworks etc. for the general public.

What changed with Industrial Capitalism and later Globalisation was mostly the scale of exploitation. But the principle - an owner class exploiting a labour class - has been around forever.

Man, people can be difficult to deal with. Ah well, in the meantime, I’ll go start another playthrough.
